Ancient Cave
The Ancient Cave is a two storey dungeon that can appear in the Dahlgur Oasis in Act II. It is not involved in any quests or events.
It can get quite busy down here the deeper you move into the first level as the groups of Chilling Constructs that appear grow larger and if Swarms and Eels are there too it's easy to get boxed in to one of the small inlets and overpowered.
Level two is tiny but there is a Resplendent Chest there so a chance of some nice booty.
It is also necessary to visit both levels of the Ancient Cave in order to complete the Nooks and Crannies achievement.
