Ravine Grotto in Palworld — the level 12–19 step-up dungeon whose boss pool hides your first real mounts, plus every corridor Pal and all the chest loot.

Ravine Grotto is the step up from [Hillside Cavern](https://palworld-db.com/guides/hillside-cavern) — same grasslands, meaner residents at **level 12–15**, and a boss room at **17–19** that can hand you your first serious mount a full region early. Every cavern is listed on the [List of All Dungeons](https://palworld-db.com/dungeons).

## The Mount Lottery

The reason to farm this cavern is the boss pool. Sixteen Pals roll here, and the standouts are rides: [Univolt](https://palworld-db.com/pal/univolt) is a fast electric mount that stays useful deep into the midgame, and [Surfent](https://palworld-db.com/pal/surfent) handles all your early water crossings. [Digtoise](https://palworld-db.com/pal/digtoise) is the other prize — **Mining 4** on a shell that drills ore by itself. Boss-sized versions at level 17–19 come pre-leveled; bring spheres, not bullets.

## Corridor Crew

The halls run level 12–15 with the same dark-leaning cast as Hillside plus [Nox](https://palworld-db.com/pal/nox) — worth one catch as an early Dark attacker. Turtacle still holds down the water pockets.

| Pal | Elements | Best Work |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Daedream](https://palworld-db.com/pal/daedream) | Dark | Handiwork |
| [Fuddler](https://palworld-db.com/pal/fuddler) | Ground | Handiwork |
| [Mau](https://palworld-db.com/pal/mau) | Dark | Farming |
| [Nox](https://palworld-db.com/pal/nox) | Dark | Gathering |
| [Turtacle](https://palworld-db.com/pal/turtacle) | Water | Watering |

## Chest Loot

The chest pool matches Hillside's — [Mega Spheres](https://palworld-db.com/item/PalSphere_Mega), [Copper Keys](https://palworld-db.com/item/TreasureBoxKey01), [Training Manuals](https://palworld-db.com/item/ExpBoost_02), [Frag Grenades](https://palworld-db.com/item/FragGrenade), [Bread](https://palworld-db.com/item/Pan) and pocket change — which is exactly what a level-15 kit wants. The upgrade here isn't the chests, it's the boss room.

> **Tip.** Rolled a boss you don't want? Runs are short at this level — clear it for the chest EXP and re-enter. The pool re-rolls every run, so a Univolt or Digtoise is only ever a few loops away.
