Advanced data

Type		dungeon

The Kalphite Cave is a dungeon located east of the Shantay Pass, housing kalphites that can only be killed while on a Slayer task. The centre of the cave contains kalphite larvae. Unlike the Kalphite Lair, a rope is not required to access the cave.

Players may enter without a Slayer task, but upon attacking any monster inside the dungeon, Buggie will stop them from doing so, claiming that they are not assigned to kill them.

A dwarf multicannon can be used here, and it is a multi-combat area. The player does not suffer from desert heat while within the cave.

Trivia

There is no presence of a queen in the cave, despite the fact that kalphites must always have a queen; if there is no queen in a hive, a larvae would quickly develop into one to fill this role.^[1] This may be due to how the cave was created unnaturally by the Entomologist, and is colder than the Kalphite Lair.
