Far Cry Primal Lost Caves are interesting areas in the game that content two important collectibles: Daysha Hands and Cave Paintings. If you wish to find all of these, you’ll have to explore all 22 caves in the land of Oros.
There are primarily two types of caves to be found: navigational caves with barely any enemy, and caves occupied by rival tribes like Izila and Udam.
Although some caves are occupied by tribesmen, it’s entirely possible (and recommended) to avoid confrontation in these claustrophobic environments through alternative routes and other means.
Make sure you have the grappling claw as well as plenty of antidote whenever you decide to explore a cave.

Far Cry Primal Lost Caves Location, Daysha Hands, Cave Paintings
Far Cry Primal Lost Caves are littered with clues of what to do next. There are breakable walls, burnable thorns/brushes/wood, breakable icicles, and climbable grapple points to take use of.
Clues such as arrows and footprints can be revealed using Hunter’s Vision to make the navigation through the caves easier.
Cave of Bones
The Cave of Bones is located to the far north on the west side of the wastes next to Totems of the Old Ones. Udam enemies occupy the cave, but they don’t need to be fought as there’s a pathway immediately to the right of the entrance that can be climbed.
This pathway bypasses the enemies if you follow along the narrow ledges to the backside of the cave.
You can even exit the cave from the same way. The main room of the cave can be accessed from this pathway. Follow the north corridor after doing so, and at the very back of the cave you’ll find the Daysha Hand on a narrow bridge above a fire.
You can access the Cave Painting by using the same bypass route from the entrance of the cave. Follow the path straight until you reach a large room. To the right are a few pots, and the wall next to them has a painting on it.
Cave of Hasari
There are two entrances to this cave. The type of animals in this cave can be random, and sometimes a Cave Bear will also spawn here.
Enter through the upper cave entrance and turn left immediately. Burn down the thorns on the left and walk through the small corridor. At the end of the corridor you’ll find the Daysha Hand.
For the Cave Painting, you’ll need to find the big room closest to the lower entrance of the cave. Stick with the right wall and you’ll spot a group of thorns in a corner. Burn them down to access the Cave Painting.
There’s a weak wall in the first room that can be destroyed if you entered from the upper entrance of the cave.
Cave of Strength
This complex cave is located at Twisted Path Climb. You should search for red footprints with Hunter Vision that lead to collectibles in the cave and spot fireflies which indicate the right direction and important locations in-case you are lost.
There are no enemies in this cave, but you can lose your way easily. It’s all about navigation. The first room includes platforms in the center on the column with the ledges on the outside.
Head up to the tunnel above with some running jumps. Search for footprints here.
You’ll eventually come across an intersection blocked by a stone in the middle, thorns on the left, and a ledge to the right. Burn the thorns to reveal a grappling point, and use it to swing to the ledge ahead.
The cave painting should be located here. You’ll need to hold the rope at a perfect height to get this right. Eventually, you’ll come to a big cavern with water around a large column.
Jump over to the platform on the left wall and burn the thorns that block the southeastern route. Set them on fire, then come back to this large room’s entrance.
There are more thorns to the right; clear them and swing to the next platform, then jump to the far corner.
Climb up the vines, then turn around, and swing across a set of hooks to fall down on the platform that was blocked by the vines. This will allow you to climb up the far wall that was blocked.
The upper level of this cavern has the Daysha Hand.
Cave of Sun Walkers
This cave is a part of the Tribal Clashes, so you may have explored it beforehand as well.
The cave will still be occupied by Izila tribesmen, but they can be bypassed altogether through a secondary stealth entrance found on the top of the cave to the east.
It’s a little difficult to use the secondary entranced at first though, so it’s best to go through the main entrance. Stick to the right to avoid enemy contact and continue all the way to the large central cavern.
Stay to the right and continue moving forward. Climb the ledge and bust the weak wall here. At the end of this hall you’ll find the Daysha Hand. Head back to the cavern, and turn right immediately after going down the ledge.
You’ll come across a flooded area. Follow the water to the north to find thorns blocking a room. Burn them down and you’ll have access to the Cave Painting.
You’ll be able to find your way to the upper level (and eventually the secondary entrance/exit) in the cavern here, though it’s entirely optional. It’s best to head out through the main entrance if you’ve managed to avoid the enemies here.
Chanting Cave
The Chanting Cave is occupied by Izila tribesman. It is located in eastern Oros behind a set of standing stones. The enemies in the cave are easily avoidable if you stick to pillars and the large bodies of water inside.
After entering the cave, look for a path on the right. This leads to a body of water. Dive underwater to find a tunnel that leads to the main cavern. There are two collectibles here that can be found if you use the vines to climb up here.
Grapple to a higher level from here and look straight ahead to spot the Cave Painting, then cross the rock bridge above. Jump over to the platform on the right and climb up to find the Daysha Hand.
Charnga Cave
This cave is located in north Oros, and is an ice cave with poisonous gas in certain areas. For this reason, you’ll need some Antidotes before you explore this cave. There are also Bitefish in the waters.
At the first flooded room of the cave, there’s a set of floating woods on the water. Shoot a burning arrow at them. This will let you see while you seem underwater. Swim to the east side of the cave and descend into the rot fumes to find the Daysha Hand.
Come back to the entrance, then had straight past the poisonous cavern and across the bridge till you reach the second flooded room. There is additional wood in the water that can be burned like before.
Light it up, then swim around to the far side of the area. After climbing out of the area, search for a frozen grapple point on a rock.
Hit the ice with a burning arrow, then use the claw. Swing to the other side, making sure you don’t fall (or else you’ll die). After the jump, you’ll come across an intersection, with both paths blocked by ice.
The left path leads to the Cave Painting, while the one on the right leads back to the exit point.
Chishta Cave
The Chishta Cave is located northeast of Nasan Run, just west of the river. The cave is usually occupied by a Brown Bear, so be careful. Enter the cave, and after the initial fire the path will split into three routes.
Use your Hunter Vision and follow the footprints that lead through the middle path. You’ll eventually come across a flooded room. Burn the wood floating in the water, then dive into the water. Swim forward and you’ll eventually come across the Daysha Hand.
After grabbing the Daysha Hand, hop down and follow the footprints. Climb up the log and follow the path until you reach a breakable wall. Break up the wall and reach the lower room. Get ready to fight the Brown Bear here as it chases you around.
The Cave Painting is on a central rock here. Study it, then head back to the exit of the cave.
Cold Swim Cave
Search for the lake in the southeast corner of icy Oros. Jump in, and swim to the entrance of the cave on the west side of the lake. You’ll pass through the icy waterfall and land in the main cave room.
Light up the floating piles of wood in the water. Look around up and you’ll find the Daysha Hand on a high platform to the left. The Cave Painting is down the other path by grappling to the top of the waterfall.
Find a frozen grappling point on the ceiling and break it with an arrow. Grapple to it and swing towards the Daysha Hand to collect it.
Cut Mamaf Cave
This cave inside northern Oros is within an Udam camp that hide a small entrance into an underground lair. You’ll find quite a few animals and Udam tribesmen in and around the cave, so you will either have to fight your way inside or sneak inside.

Head right and then take an immediate left after you enter. Follow the corridor to find the Daysha Hand. Up above is a grappling point that leads to the secondary entrance/exit.
If you want to get to the Cave Painting, from the main entrance, drop inside the cave and immediately go left. Enter a small body of water – dive in and go through the tunnel to the northeast to find the Cave Painting behind some flammable thorns.
Dangu Cave
The Dangu Cave is located in southwest Oros, west of a small lake. After entering the cave, head up the right side and burn the thorns that block the path.
After that, jump across the gap; continue up the corridor and use the grappling point ahead. Go down the series of ledges from here to find the Cave Painting.
After this, use your club to knock out the stones that block the east path. Dive into the water and swim southwards to reach the big room.
To the right are some fireflies; climb up the rock here and continue up to reach the upper floor. Drop into the east hole to continue through the cave.
After grappling to the upper level, bust through the stones and head left. Grapple up two more grappling points and find the exit above the lake. As you emerge from the upper exit, the Daysha Hand is on the side of the platform.
Grab it before jumping to the grappling point.
Freezing Caves
This cave is located at the northern tip of Oros. A campfire sits just outside this cave. From the start, descend from the grapple point to the small platform below. After that, jump, grapple and climb to the southeast corner.
