Excited and eager to find the shovel, you gather the required materials, including a weapon for protection, and head towards the cave to the west of the snowy mountains. You reach the entrance, and outside, you see three dead bodies. You set up a tent and enter the cave, using the rope gun to ride the zipline.

As you make your way through the cave, you encounter several enemies, but you manage to defend yourself and move ahead. You dive underwater, following the tunnel until you find an opening. You climb up and slide down a slope, landing in a pool of water.

You climb up onto the cave floor and continue until you reach a larger room with two deceased humans inside. You find a flashlight attachment on one of them and grab it before proceeding. Following the path, you come across another underwater portion of the cave, and you swim through it until you surface on the other side.
