Crystal Cavern, also known as the "creepy crystal cave" or the "caves under Serbule", is a small cave that lies beneath the giant red crystal found north of Serbule Keep. This area can be deadly for low level characters due to the poison stacking caused by the creatures found there.

Dalvos used the cave as an place to experiment with the Naturesphere. He succeeded in creating a sentient Tornado which still guards his storage room there.

To gain access to this dungeon perform the following steps:

Talk to Blanche and complete her quest 'Get Crystal Samples'.
Talk to Velkort and complete his quest 'Unlocking the Crystal Lattice'.
Remember the 'frequency' that Velkort gives you.

Tip for surviving and gaining access

A

Poison Resistance Potion
can be very helpful, negating almost all of the poison damage caused by the creatures here.
A Word of Power 2 (level 3) can teleport you directly to this area.

Dalvos' Room

At the end of the cave is a room with a journal written by Dalvos, as well as his Abandoned Storage Chest (16 slots). To access the chest however you have to run through a bunch of slugs that can stack poison on you.

Several items can spawn in this room: Ivory Spoon, Goblet, Plate, Crusty Bread, Empty Bottle, Red Apple.

Storage Chest

A "large and well made" storage chest with a capacity of 16 slots. Note that there exists a Word of Power (Level 2) that teleports inside the cave... which could make this storage useful in some scenarios.
