How to Open the Secret Cave Door Prospecting Guide

If you’re deep into Prospecting on Roblox and looking to boost your gold income or speed up your progress, there’s a secret area you should definitely know about. Inside the Crystal Cavern, there’s a hidden cave door that leads to two of the best tools in the game: the Earth Breaker shovel and the World Shaker pan. This guide will explain step-by-step how to open that door, where to find the required items, and what to expect once you’re inside.

Where Is the Secret Door in Prospecting?

You’ll find the secret door in the Crystal Cavern, which becomes accessible once you reach level 15. After entering the cave, ignore the main path that leads toward the big glowing tree. Instead, look for a waterfall off to the side. Behind that waterfall is a hidden path that leads to the large, locked stone door.

Requirements to Open the Secret Cave Door

To open the door, you’ll need to collect and place three rare gems:

• Emerald
• Diamond
• Star Shine

Each of these items must be collected through mining in specific regions.

Where to Find the Required Items

1. Emerald

• Common among the three.
• Can be found in Crystal Cavern, Rumble Creek, and Azuralite Oasis.

2. Diamond

• More difficult to locate.
• Spawns in Sunset Beach, Rumble Creek, and Fortune River Delta.
• Avoid mining in Azuralite Oasis or Crystal Cavern for diamonds.

3. Star Shine

• The rarest of the three.
• Found mainly on the central island in Azuralite Oasis.
• Occasionally spawns in Crystal Cavern, but much harder to get without a Toughness 5 shovel.

How to Unlock the Door

Once you’ve collected all three items:

1. Go back to the waterfall entrance in Crystal Cavern.
2. Interact with the door behind the waterfall.
3. Place the Emerald, Diamond, and Star Shine into their respective slots.
4. The door will open, granting you access to the secret chamber.

What’s Inside the Secret Chamber?

Inside, you’ll find:

• The Earth Breaker shovel and World Shaker pan.
• A mysterious NPC that provides some lore-related dialogue.
• Cryptic markings and glowing light effects (purely for atmosphere for now).

Each tool costs $125 million, so you might only afford one at first.

Which Tool Should You Buy First?

1. World Shaker (Pan)

• 70 Luck
• 150 Capacity
• +25% Size Boost
• Great for earning gold faster
• Recommended as the first purchase

2. Earth Breaker (Shovel)

• 25 Strength
• 100 Dig Speed
• Boosts mining efficiency
• Ideal for faster digging and finding rare ores

Enchanting the Tools

Once you’ve purchased your tool, speak to the Archaeologist NPC to apply enchantments using Aurorite. Some useful enchantments include:

• Luck – For increased drop chances.
• Swift – For faster shake speed or digging.
• Strength – Helps with tougher ore blocks.

The secret cave door in Prospecting is more than just a cool discovery—it’s the gateway to top-tier tools that will change the way you play the game. Focus on gathering the Emerald, Diamond, and Star Shine, unlock the door, and choose the tool that best fits your playstyle. Whether you go for faster gold with the World Shaker or improved mining with the Earth Breaker, this is a major milestone in your Prospecting journey.
