Bat Caves are Dungeons found deep underground.

In the deep mines of the Hearth, a dungeon type of screeching terrors and flapping delights can now be found; Bat Caves. Bat Caves are full of bats, and things Bat, and are quite the sight to behold.

They are the second instance of a new type of natural phenomenon which are generally called "Dungeons".

Getting through the Bat Cave

Before entering the cave, you should be aware that the difficulty level is random and once inside you won't be able to teleport to your hearthfire even if you get knocked out. If you get low on health, run for the exit.

Notes

Game Development

• Hat Placement (2022-11-04)◎ >"Fixed bat dungeon map generator. Went over the code for generating them, and they should now hopefully avoid placing broken ridges. Notice that old dungeons may still be around generated with the old code. Let me know your mileage on this."

• Sails Furled (2020-07-11)◎ >"Tempered the amount of Den Mothers spawning in Bat Caves."

• A Bat out of Hell (2018-04-18)◎ >"Added "Bat Caves", dungeon type. In the deep mines of the Hearth, a new dungeon type of screeching terrors and flapping delights can now be found; Bat Caves. Bat Caves are full of bats, and things Bat, and are quite the sight to behold, and complete with some new challenges added relative to the Beaver Dams."
