How to find the Cave Moth in Brighter Shores

After speaking to the strange creature Sallek at the waterfall and asking for help climbing the stairs, he agrees to help you – but only if you bring him a shiny amethyst. This gemstone was discovered in the mine by a miner named Sammy Clod. So you have to search for him to get one of these crystals. Sammy Clod can be found in the Northwest Mining Cavern, which is located on the northwest side of the Mantuban Mine. When you spot it, ask for a shiny amethyst. Instead of giving you one, Sammy tells you to grab it yourself. Additionally, he points out that a cave moth can lead you to the gem's location.

Cave Moth location in Brighter Shores

To find the cave moth Brighter coasts, Go to Mine Cart Cave. Luckily, this location is near the Northwest Mining Cavern, where you meet Sammy Clod. To get there, turn west from the Northwest Mining Cavern and you will spot the moth. Just like in real life, this tiny insect is brown in color and has beautiful patterns on its wings.

Once you enter Mine Cart Cave, you will see the moth fluttering back to the east. It takes you through Jagged Junction (east), Rat Infested Tunnel (south), Rat Infested Junction (south), and finally to Ratty Terminus (south). When the moth eventually stops moving forward, you can click on it and click the “Approach” button to make it fly to the target. Luckily, in the areas where the Moth guides you, there are passive enemies that won't attack unless provoked, including Ugly Beastman (level 20) and Bristle Giant Rat (level 27), so you don't have to worry about them have to do.

At Ratty Terminus, you'll see the cave moth hovering next to a shiny amethyst. This gem is embedded in the cave and you must increase the rank of your exclusive mining profession to level 10 in Episode Three to obtain it. As soon as you approach the shiny rock, the cave moth will fly away.
