The Chyornaya Peschera Cave is a dark and claustrophobic environment, home to The Fear. Equip your Thermal Goggles (if you have them) or use your Torch to navigate. The cave is filled with bats and other creatures, some of which can be eaten for stamina. The Fear will ambush you here, using his camouflage and speed to his advantage. The key to defeating him is to track his movements, often by observing disturbed foliage or using thermal vision. He will also try to poison you with his crossbow. Have plenty of antidote and food ready. After defeating The Fear, you'll need to find your way out of the cave system, which can be disorienting. Consult your map frequently and look for light sources indicating an exit.
