Upper Yard Caverns

Bomb Cave

Location
Upper Grasslands

The **Bomb Cave Cave** is a small cave located in the Upper Grasslands, inside the large exposed pipe surrounded by Toadstools. It is a very short, puzzle-like cave.

Overview
The cave is blocked by Dead Roots, meaning the player needs a tier 3 chopping tool. The cave has two paths, one is a water way that leads to a dead end and the other is a small opening to a blocked section of the cave with a large rock in the middle. To get into that section, the player needs to use a Bomb Arrow or a well thrown Splatburst to explode the rock. Once exploded, the water way will lead into the room. The room is full of Sturdy and Supreme variants of both rocks and a Milk Molar.

Jack Ball Cave

Location
Upper Grasslands

The **Jack Ball Cave** is a small cave located in the Upper Grasslands inbetween the dead hamster skeleton and the Field Station in the middle of the area.

Overview
The area is meant to serve as an elaborate puzzle, with some Supreme Marble and a Milk Molar located on unreachable cliffs. To reach it, the player needs to knock the large jack ball onto the floor and roll on top of it then jump to the cliffs. This has to be done twice due to the Milk Molar and marble being on two different shelves.
