Your ultimate goal is to collect potent energy runoff from volatile Nodes of energy hidden in the walls. Creatures native to the caves have been warped by the powerful energy in them. You quickly find that defending yourself against these monsters is just as pressing as navigating around the explosive Nodes. ​
