The Marble Cave is a mini-biome found in the Underground or Cavern layers. These biomes are made entirely out of Marble Blocks and Marble Walls, and contain several Pots of a design unique to the area. The enemies that spawn in these caves are themed after the ancient Mediterranean. Marble Caves can also spawn appropriately themed Underground Cabins built with Smooth Marble Blocks, housing Marble Chests with ordinary underground treasure.

Marble Caves can prove to be one of the most dangerous areas in the game, even for endgame characters. While Hoplites are ranged enemies that deal respectable damage in their own right, Medusa inflicts one of the most deadly debuffs in the entire game, capable of completely immobilizing a player from great distances, dealing significantly inflated fall damage and leaving them vulnerable for several seconds if they survive. It is advisable to avoid these areas outright prior to Hardmode, but even well-prepared characters should take caution when in the vicinity of a Marble Cave, as even being near one can cause these unique enemies to spawn in ordinary underground spaces.

Farming Information

Standing on marble blocks directly when inside the Cavern layer is one of the easist way to make spawning marble-themed. Normally 4/5 of chance will be occupied by Hoplites and/or Medusas when the spawning is marble-themed.

-The '''Marble Cave''' is a mini-biome that spawns upon the world's creation. It is filled with many [[Pots]] as well as being made entirely out of [[Marble Block|Marble Blocks]]. The enemies that spawn here are themed after the ancient Mediterranean. Marble Caves can also spawn small rooms with [[Smooth Marble Wall|Smooth Marble Walls]] that contain [[Marble Chest|Marble Chests]].

-It is by far one of the most dangerous areas in the game, even late in the game, since Hoplite can deal up to 100 damage, and Medusa inflicts [[Stoned|one of the most deadly debuffs]] available, making it very advisable to avoid outright Pre-Hardmode. But if you are mobile enough (grappling hook and [[rocket boots]] recommended) to avoid javelins and gazes, this biome can become a source of good weapons useful for fighting pre-hardmode bosses ([[Medusa Head]] is brutally effective against [[Eater of Worlds]] and [[Brain of Cthulhu|Brain's]] minions and Javelin is a good throwing weapon).
