Barathrum Caverns

Barathrum Caverns is one of the underground towns in the Cave System. It is by far the most secluded town in the cave system and the hardest to get to. The town is built on a pillar over a large lake of lava that covers the whole bottom of the cavern with two towers separated from the town. In order to enter the town, you must complete some deadly parkour. There are no water refills, making extended stays tough. High quality loot can be found here, but the likelihood of encountering another player here is next to none.

Travel Advisory/Warnings
- It has many treacherous parkour jumps that are fatal if failed.
- The crypt recently received a change where a button is no longer required to access it, and the pots_rare chest can now be camped. You must stand far away from the crypt for it to respawn, however.
- The entrance is a short jump puzzle and isn't too hard except for a couple of 3 block jumps that look impossible but are actually fairly easy.
- There's a crafting table located in the blacksmith, behind some furnaces close to the chest.
- Following multiple updates, the water refills at this town were removed. Bring at least two bottles if you wish to stay for an extended amount of time. The nearest water refill is Aurora.
- You cannot find any food here whatsoever. It is recommended to bring potions from Aurora and food from Krubera before making a trip here. The single potion chest can be camped.
- To get to the brewery, you must go out of the dormitory through one of the windows to your right and fall onto the brewery's roof. Jumping down here is treacherous, but you will be rewarded with a mil epic. To leave the brewery, go outside through the eastern side, walk around the house and go onto a stone path that'll lead you back down onto the blacksmith.
- Before arriving here, it is recommended to collect several buttons to get the high-tier chests in the vault multiple times.
- If you want to get to the vault there's a secret passage in the library, behind the cobwebs.
- The vault has a deadly parkour challenge with two mil epic chests as a reward. You can access it with a button by either placing it on a chiseled stone brick and performing a timed parkour sequence, or parkouring to the iron door and using the button there. Both ways require the use of a button.
- This town can only be reached by passing Aurora then continuing Northeast in the Cave System.
- You are very unlikely to meet anyone here. It is usually devoid of survivors due to how far it is in the Cave System and its loot doesn't make up for the high risks you will need to take to get to it.
- Zombie pigmen do not spawn here as it is below -2000, however watch out for the zombies as they can push you off the walkway into the lava lake below.
- Although very rare, wolves can spawn here, since the cave system is situated in the snow biome.
Trivia
- Barathrum is Latin for "Infernal region", according to the builder of this location. It makes sense as this place is deadly and full of lava.
- It contains the 3 elemental symbols with the exception of water. They have no real purpose or don't explain anything about the location or Lore.
- The grave of the builder that submitted it, SunkenStar, can be found in the graveyard alongside others.
