The Zoo

Follow our expert walkthrough for The Cave's Zoo section. Learn how to soothe the savage beast, use the hot dog machine, and lure monsters across bridges to progress.

Alright, so you've made it to the Zoo section of The Cave. It sounds a bit weird, I know, but trust me, it's a key part of the adventure. We need to get past this big, growly monster. The first thing you'll want to do is grab that Tape Recorder from the food court. Make sure it's set to record, then head back towards the crystal monster.

Now, here's the trick: you need to record its growl. The game will have the crystal monster toss you behind it, which is your cue. Once you've got its roar on tape, pick up the recorder. You'll then need to drop the recorder near the Hunter character. Playing that recording will distract her and send her on her way, opening up the path forward.

After that, head over to the Hot Dog Machine. Grab yourself a Hot Dog – yes, a hot dog – and then make your way back down towards the cave monster. As you approach, it'll start moving towards you. Your goal here is to lure it across the stone bridge. Just run to the right, keeping ahead of it, and lead it onto the bridge. It's designed to crumble under its weight, so it'll fall away, clearing your path.
