Where is the Molten Quarry Biome in Core Keeper?
The Molten Quarry Biome is a sub-biome located in The Desert of Beginnings within Core Keeper. You have to powered up the Core by defeating Glurch, Ghorm, and the Hive Mother to access it. As the name suggests, extents of the Molten Quarry are filled to the brim with lava and mining equipment. Themed distinctly on mining, this biome is great for Metal Bars if you're able to survive through its dangers.
Before venturing into the Molten Quarry, bring many bridges with you since this biome has grates that hurt to step on. The many
enemies are going to add to this risk which you will encounter.
