'''Buwaya Cave''' is a Philippine mythology-themed instance set in the lair of '''Buwaya''', a giant man-eating crocodile monster. Players must hunt down this beast that has been kidnapping villagers from Port Malaya. The instance is part of the "Secret in the Woods" quest chain.

== Overview ==

Villagers have been disappearing from Port Malaya, and after investigating the tracks, the guards discovered that the giant monster Buwaya is responsible. Soldiers and mercenaries have been dispatched but none have been completely successful. Now adventurers are called upon to enter Buwaya's cave and end the threat permanently.

The instance features unique mechanics including a "treasure box" trap and discovering Buwaya's weakness through rescued captives.

----

== Instance Walkthrough ==

=== Phase 1: Entering the Cave ===

# The cave is Buwaya's lair where he stores his victims.
# Navigate through the dark tunnels.
# Watch for traps and monster spawns.

=== Phase 2: The Treasure Box Trap ===

Buwaya has a special mechanic:

{{Quote|I will put you in my treasure box!|Buwaya}}

# Periodically, Buwaya attempts to trap players in his "treasure box."
# Visual effects warn you when this is about to happen.
# If caught, you'll be teleported to a holding area.
# Destroy '''Buwaya's Weakness''' objects (ID: 2333) to escape.

=== Phase 3: Rescuing Captives ===

# Find '''Kidnapped Residents''' trapped in the cave.
# Speaking to them provides valuable buffs:
#* +45 ATK for 60 seconds
#* +45 MATK for 60 seconds
# They also reveal Buwaya's weakness - target the walls behind them!

{{Quote|Are you sure you can do it...? Ok, listen carefully, its weakness is... behind us on the walls.|Kidnapped Residents}}

=== Phase 4: Boss Battle - Buwaya ===

# '''Buwaya''' is a powerful crocodile MVP.
# He uses powerful physical attacks and the treasure box mechanic.
# The battle intensifies as his HP drops:

{{Quote|I had enough with this, let's go till the end!|Buwaya}}

=== Completion ===

After defeating Buwaya:
# The villagers are saved.
# Collect drops from the MVP.
# Exit the cave.
