Deep Cave Ladder

The Deep Cave Ladder is an object used to reach the Deep Caves. It can be placed on any terrain tile, making it a flexible way to create access points downward without needing a specific floor type. Once placed, it serves as a route into the cave depths and is part of the progression toward the underground layers beyond the normal cave level.

It becomes available for crafting after defeating the Pirate Captain, and the Pirate Captain also drops one on defeat. This ties the Deep Cave Ladder to mid- to late-game progression rather than early exploration. If you want a guaranteed way to enter the deeper caves, defeating that boss is the key unlock for obtaining it.

To reach the Caves, the Cave Ladder is required, so the Deep Cave Ladder fits into the broader cave-access system rather than replacing the basic ladder entirely. In practice, it is used to extend that progression further down into the Deep Caves, giving players a direct and reusable method for accessing the deeper underground area.
