FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time: Cave Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time, Caves are enclosed dungeon-style locations offering some of the richest gathering nodes and best-hidden Legendary Recipes in the game.

There are 8 Cave locations: 1 in Capital of Mysteria and 7 across Ginormosia. All 8 locations are marked on MapMaster's FANTASY LIFE i interactive maps.

Banaan Cave: A Gathering-Focused Location

Banaan Cave, found on the beach in Capital of Mysteria, is a pure gathering spot rather than a combat dungeon — a reliable early-game source of Alcheweed, Cureweed, Vitalweed, Rushdelion, Straw Thread, and other common crafting materials.

Several materials here, including Palm Log and Evening Glory, are obtained specifically by breaking the crates and barrels scattered throughout the cave rather than picking up loose items.

Ginormosia Caves: Legendary Recipes and Obstacles

Most of Ginormosia's Caves double as the hiding spot for one of the continent's 18 Legendary Recipes, typically placed near the very end of the cave:

• Wyrm Maw Cave (Fangshore Isles, south of Googlina's Tower) — houses a Legendary Recipe near the cave's end.

• Nostruul Cave (Drakesnout Range, southwest of Googlizabeth's Tower) — home to the Legendary Feast recipe, found past two treasure chests near the cave's end. Reaching it requires the Mining Life to clear rock obstacles blocking the path.

• Fort Gardhart (West Greatgut Plains, northwest of Googlelot's Tower) — a fortified location rather than a natural cave, holding a Legendary Recipe on its second floor in the final guarded room. Enemies must be cleared before the recipe becomes accessible.

• Great Nayvel Cave (South Greatgut Plains, southwest of Googlierre's Tower) — houses the Pickaxe of Time recipe.

A Note on the Table Above

One entry in this guide's location table is listed as "Pettlewing Forest" despite the Cave category — this may reflect an internal naming or categorisation quirk in the underlying map data rather than an actual cave.

Please treat this entry with appropriate caution until confirmed.

Clearing Obstacles: Bring the Right Life

Several Ginormosia Caves gate their best rewards behind Life-specific obstacles — Nostruul Cave's blocked path requires Mining, while Fort Gardhart's guarded final room requires clearing enemies with a combat Life.

Switching Lives before entering a Cave known to contain a Legendary Recipe saves a return trip if the wrong tools are equipped.
