The Dreadhorse Caverns is a secret cave located in a specific part of Chestnut Ridge in The Sims 4. Players will get to try a Dungeons & Dragons experience when exploring the cave as it’s full of enemies and precious loot.
While finding the Dreadhorse Caverns entrance is a bit tricky in The Sims 4, it’s not the only obstacle players will get. The hidden cave is full of various enemies and some require special items to defeat. There are multiple levels inside the cave and the more Simmers progress, the harder it gets.
Where To Find The Secret Cave In The Sims 4
The secret cave, aka Dreadhorse Caverns, is found on the lower part of Galloping Gulch in Chestnut Ridge.
From the Canyon Crossing Lot, head down the slope to find a Community Board. While facing the board, head left down another slope to reach a shallow river. Take another left and look up to find the Dreadhorse Caverns entrance. The only option upon clicking the entrance is to explore the hidden cave in The Sims 4.
By hovering over the option, players can see which level they are and how much they progressed through the cave. Each level requires 100 points to complete and most enemies reward 25 points upon defeat. Some special NPCs give out more points if Simmers answer the riddle correctly.
How To Complete The Dreadhorse Cavern In The Sims 4
While completing the levels inside the secret cave, players will encounter normal enemies that have two options Offense and Defense. The former is obviously used to attack while the latter is to regenerate health. The two options won’t always work since RNG is involved, though. So it’s possible to hit or get hit and to heal or run away from the fight.
As for special enemies, here are the most repeated ones and the required items to beat them:
|

Required Item |
Item Location |
|---|---|---|

Wild T-Rex |
Each Offense requires one Red Meat |

Each Offense requires one glass of Energy Nectar |

The Gnome-Rog |
Each Offense requires one glass of Prairie Grass Nectar |

Other than enemies, the cave is full of small riddles which may be the key to reaching another level:
|
Riddle |
Required Item |
|---|---|
|
The door with “Speak Baa and Enter” on it |
Put a Mini Sheep in the Sims’ Inventory to open the door |
|
The Inferno |
A Glass of Water |
|
Treasure Chest |

|
Mining Rocks |

The Treasure Chest and Mining Rocks either reward players or force them to leave the cave as it also depends on RNG.
