Crystal Cavern (also known as the "Caves Under Serbule") is a cave that lies beneath the giant red crystal found north of Serbule Keep. It is also sometimes refereed as the "creepy crystal cave". Blanche sends you there in search of crystal samples. The cave is a very small area. Interestingly a level 3 Word of Power can teleport you to this area. It seems that Dalvos used the cave as an place to experiment with the Naturesphere. He succeeded in creating a sentient Tornado which guards his storage room.
This area can be deadly for low level characters due to the poison stacking. In order to complete Blanche's quest, a poison resistance potion can be very helpful, negating almost all of the poison damage.
To gain access to the dungeon go through the following steps:
- complete Blanche's quest to get a sample from the red crystal
- Blanche asks you to talk to Velkort to learn how to gain access
- complete Velkort's quest to get a sample from the blue crystal in the Serbule Crypt (Velkort gives you the access code to pass the red force field; FYI no need to go past the big blue spider)
- remember the 'frequency' word that Velkort gives you.

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.
Dalvos' Lab Notes
Amidst the diagrams and bizarre symbols, you spot several formulae for elemental protection potions (examining Dalvos' Lab Notes and opt to "Study the Recipes"):
- Alchemy
- Fire Resistance (L 5)
- Electricity Resistance (L 10)
- Cold Resistance (L 10).
