Smuggler Cache 87 Location & Route
Smuggler Cache 87 is hidden in grass-covered ruins on a lower ledge just across the river from the Delma Water Tower, close to a giant stone pillar ruin and a stone/log “bridge” over the water.
Follow these steps:
- Start from Salea’s Hand. Fast travel or ride to Salea’s Hand, the small settlement south of Delma Water Tower in the Karaba Foothills.
- Head toward Delma Water Tower and the river. Ride north from Salea’s Hand toward the Delma Water Tower. As you near the tower, move toward the river between Karaba Foothills and Myrra Valley.
- Find the stone/log bridge and cross to the north side. Look for the natural stone/log “bridge” over the river near the tall, weird stone pillar ruin mentioned in the intel. Cross this bridge so you’re on the north side of the river, facing the rock wall and pillar.
- Turn left (northwest) and head straight to the ledge. Once you’re across, turn left (northwest) and walk in a straight line along the top of the bank, keeping the river behind you and the giant pillar ruin on your right. After a short walk you’ll reach a drop-off / ledge overlooking some overgrown ruins below.
- Grapple down into the ruins. Look for a grapple point on the rock edge or a branch above the lower ruins. Use your grapple/rope to descend to the lower level where the broken stone structures are.
- Loot the cache in the grass. In the middle of these ruins, scan the tall grass and rubble. The Smuggler Cache 87 crate is half-buried in the grass among the stones. Interact with it to open Smuggler Cache 87 and complete the Ahia-ko Tower Supplies intel.
If you’re using Jet Kordo’s Holotracker, it will ping faster as you approach the river, pillar ruin, and stone bridge, then go almost constant when you stand on the ledge above the ruins and after you drop down.
Reward: Materials and Valuables
Smuggler Cache 87 rewards a bundle of materials and valuables, not a unique named item:
- Upgrade materials for blaster, speeder, or gear upgrades
- Valuables/credits to sell at vendors for extra cash
It’s a quick run once you know the path: start at Salea’s Hand, ride to Delma Water Tower, cross the stone/log bridge by the pillar ruin, then grapple down into the riverside ruins to grab the cache.
