The sinkhole (too referred to as the pit, the crater, or simply the large hole) is an environmental characteristic added in v0.16. Information technology was not mentioned in the patchnotes, so the sudden advent of it surprised many players.

Reaching the Bottom [ ]

There are multiple ways to reach the lesser of the sinkhole. To get to the lesser yous can:

1. Go through Cave vii, which will open up a pair of sacrificial doors at the bottom of the sinkhole, allowing the actor to walk straight in.
2. Bound from the highest cliff straight to the swimming in the center of the sinkhole; it may accept a lot of attempts to get it.
3. Spring/slide down ledges on the walls. This is very unsafe, and the player will probable sustain serious, possibly fatal injuries every bit he proceeds; meds and other healing items are necessary. This method is often used in speed runs.
4. Build a set of stairs. This is a very time-consuming option. As of v0.70, the sinkhole has an invisible layer with a few ferns growing on it. It cannot be bypassed with a log sled, which will just hang in the air on top of the invisible barrier; the just way to deliver the needed materials is to acquit logs down nether the barrier layer.
5. Use the climbing axe to help climb down. At the sides of the sinkhole, a few places take areas y'all can adhere your climbing axe. The surface area with the tents, halfway down the sink hole is one of these areas. As of v1.09 at that place are very few areas in the sinkhole where the climbing axe can be used, however.
6. Building a freestanding zipline across the sinkhole. Use it and let become when you are halfway across the sinkhole (most 6 seconds on the zipline). If you time information technology right, you will land in the center where the water is.
7. Employ the turtle shell as a sled and ride down the slopes.(Patched*: No longer a reliable option; it is still possible to ride down the walls, admitting it is now rather difficult, and you will have a lot of harm if you practice arrive.)
8. Use a glider, spinning to lose altitude progressively without running into the walls.
9. In multiplayer, fall harm can be cancelled by landing on top of a downed ally. Incredibly hard to pull off, but by landing on any downed ally yous can abolish the autumn impairment and resurrect them, leaving y'all both alive at the bottom.
10. Create a diving board into the center of the sinkhole where the h2o is using sideways bones walls, this costs a lot of logs.

Fully exploring the sinkhole is required to complete the story. The location contains the entrance to Cave HC, which leads to the Sahara Research Laboratory and the finish of the game. The histrion volition need, amidst other things, the keycard, climbing axe, and rebreather to fully explore the sinkhole.

In that location are large stone formations scattered throughout the lesser of the sinkhole, forth with a couple of small waterfalls on the north and southeast sides. Multiple creepy mutants and several regular cannibals wander around the sinkhole floor in close proximity to each other, making it i of the virtually unsafe areas in the game. In that location are usually 4+ pale mutants, 1-ii armsies, and 2-3 (equally of v1.09) cowmen. These cannibals volition spawn no matter the game mode (Normal or Hard).

Nigh the sacrificial doors, there is also a crashed helicopter; the machete may exist found simply outside the cockpit.

Some flat cardboard boxes and wooden crates scattered around contain circuit boards and other supplies.

Combat [ ]

The rocks at the bottom of the sinkhole form walls that straight the thespian along around the bottom. Luckily, they are climbable if the player tin can detect a depression spot to jump up (such as somewhat near the sacrifice doors). One time on meridian of the rocks, the cannibals below are easy pickings. Merely use the flare gun, flaming arrows, or molotovs. Practise note that if the player remains on the depression spot on the rocks, the cannibals and mutants can and will accuse or jump up.

Notes [ ]

• There is a note near the sinkhole that can exist found on the Peninsula. The document is colloquially chosen the "Latin Paper" and shows a cartoon of the sinkhole.
• The sinkhole bears some resemblance to real-life cenotes, which are linked with Mayan and Aztec cultures. The deep, usually flooded caves were places of worship and were used for sacrifices and burials.
