Green and beige caverns big enough for monsters to live in. It houses new ore that is strong enough to be used in new weapons and armor. The caverns are too high up and dangerous for merchants. Hunters usually need to hunt monsters that could possibly fly into the Old Jungle and attack the base camp or get to Kokoto Village. The Lime caverns house Tetsucabra, has no elder dragons that reside in it. The only dangerous monster that lives in these caves are Drilltusk Tetsucabra, the only deviant that love to live here.

Mechanic of Sulfur Gas:[]
Sulfur gas is similar to the effluvium gas, but instead of dropping your health, it gives you poisoning, It stays on you for a little bit after leaving the area. It can be cured by an Antidote. Sulfur gas will fill a random area every quest (except for Area 1) making it random each time you play a quest. This makes the quest significantly harder if the monsters spawns or goes to the area filled with this gas. Sulfur gas does not affect you instantly, but gives you the status every 1/8 chance the hunter breathes it in.
