🐊 Buwaya Cave Instance
Buwaya, the giant crocodile of Port Malaya, drags its victims into a cave and keeps them in its treasure box. Your party goes in after the kidnapped villagers, breaks the eggs before they hatch, and brings the beast down.

🗺️ Walkthrough
- The Kidnapped People cower around the cave; Buwaya greets you with "I will put you in my treasure box!".
- Buwaya (4.09M HP, MVP) fights with its brood: Buwaya Eggs (10k HP) hatch into Slaves (20k HP, hard hitters) if you leave them alone — break the eggs first.
- When Buwaya hides it leaves ghosts and weak shells behind; kill the Buwaya ghost (30k HP, 80% DEF so bring magic or sheer hits) to draw the real one back out.
- Watch the announcements: "This is...MY...Deadly... ATTACK!" is the wind-up for its big strike — spread out and keep the healer back.
- When Buwaya dies the Guard tells you to run back the way you came in; the cave closes behind you.

⚙️ Pre-Renewal notes
- Attacks are min–max ranges (×1.4 spread), Renewal flat defense became percentages (Buwaya 60%), and EXP follows the Faceworm / Bio Lab 4F scale: Buwaya pays twice its HP plus an MVP bonus, eggs pay nothing.
- The 23-hour cooldown is the stock pre-Renewal timer for the Devil in the Cave quest. Buwaya kills announce and pay the party MVP coin.
- No download is needed: the cave, the monsters and every item are official client content.
