Misty Falls Cave is an unofficial name for the cave right next to the Misty Falls Picnic Area, located in the far northeast corner of Pleasant Valley. It offers some shelter, but beware as on colder days you may freeze to death.

Overview

There can be decent amounts of gear inside, in addition to an abundance of Coal. It is strongly advised to bring a light source as there is a spiraling ramp at the start of the cave which can cause major injury to the player, even resulting in death. In addition, there can be various wood items in the area to gather, and up to two wolves may spawn in the area. In rare instances, a Bear can wander from their den to the east. Don't worry, there are no wolves inside the cave. 

Item spawns

• Numerous stones and coal
• A couple of frozen corpses which spawn various items
• Sticks fallen from holes in the cave's ceiling
• A metal box containing various items right after the entrance
• An "Advanced Guns Guns Guns!" research book occasionally spawns next to the metal box.
• At a dead-end, a bedroll can spawn with a Flare and some food lying around in the vicinity.
• If lucky, a survival bow can spawn in an intersection in the cave, sometimes next to a corpse.
• A small room across the waterfall: a revolver or a hunting rifle
• Outside the cave, at the picnic area, a frozen corpse may have their rifle lying next to them. 
• A chance of Spelunker's Lantern spawning after the waterfall in the crouching area

Episode 3

• The three frozen corpses inside, one of whose head was crushed by a fallen rock, could have been the friends of the mountain climber who left a page of his journal in the Mountaineer's Hut in Timberwolf Mountain.
• However, this incident could have instead occurred at the Point of Disagreement, not far from the cave.

Trivia

• The area accessed through the waterfall inside the cave has small patches of bio-luminescent moss along some of the walls, just like the ice caves in Hushed River Valley.
• Up to two hunting rifles (one inside, one outside) and a bow with arrows can be found here in the same run.
