Brighter Shores Magic Cave guide: Which faction should you choose

The Magic Cave is perhaps the most important location you get to visit in the Hopeforest region of Brighter Shores, and it involves you picking betwe✱en one of the three available functions.

As you begin your adventure, Hopeforest will remain locked. You’ll have to clear the quests in Hopeport before you can make your journey to the second region. Entering the Magic Cave will allow you to pick the faction you want, but before that, you’ll need to know where to find it in the first place.

How to go to Magic Cave in Brighter Shores

While opening the Magic Cave is relatively easy, reaching it will take you at least a few hours. Episode 1 must be complete, as you’ll need access to the Hopeforest region.

• Once you reach Hopeforest, search for all your companions.
• Go to the Dryad Glade and kill the Mutant Stag to save the Dryad.
• As a thank you, you’ll get a Dryad Leaf.
• Head northwest, and you’ll find the Thin Trail.
• Go past the Narrow Path near Tangled Lane.
• To open the Magic Cave, you’ll need the help of the Dryad. Use the Dryad Leaf to summon him.

Once the cave is opened, head inside to pick a fac💦tion.

All factions in Brighter Shores

There are three available factions in Brighter Shores♛. All of them have their respective strengths and weaknes🌱ses, and you can pick only one of them.

Which faction should you pick in Brighter Shores?

This is one dec♌ision you can make based on what you like. As I said, every faction counters one another – they will have a weakness against one and do extra damage to the other. Some of the enemies you come against in Hopeforest will do attacks of all three types mentioned in the table above. Simply put, all three factions will thrive against some and struggle against the rest.

Irrespective of your choice, always pay attention to the enemy attack types and their immunity. You’ll want to concentrate on their elemental weaknesses, as that will allow you to do extra damage. Concentrating on these decisions will be far more critical on most occasions, but having a faction that does favorable damage will be helpful.
