Secret Cave in Drakkar Lake

Leaving Sifhalla by the South gate there is a suspicious rock, where two miner dwarfs are working. The monsters sounds that can be heard standing next to that rock make me believe that it is a secret entrance to a cave.

The presence of Budger Blackpowder, who is in the left of the West Sifhalla gate, and who will provide explosives, make everything more suspicious.

But putting explosives near the rock doesn’t brake it.

Does any body knows about this cave?

if you put a barrel of blackpowder next to the left dwarf, it starts a dialogue...but that's it. I've tried it already...dropped maybe 40 barrels at different spots next to the wall but nothing happened.

Maybe if/when hard mode comes out the cave will be accessible - do I smell another dungeon?

I'm putting my money on 'not implimented in the game yet' or requiring some currently unknown condition.

Or maybe a secret. just because these things don't work, doesn't mean nothing does.

Well, those dwarves weren't there during the preview event, and they also weren't there about two weeks ago when I cleared the area several times... whatever it is, it must be coming soon.

Or maybe we just need to figure it out.

I thought about and tried that too - blasting the rocks by the miners. Nothing so far, but the sounds still exist. We'll find out soon enough I suppose.

There is actually a few places in GW:EN like this places that are blocked off
and you can see they don't match the normal surroundings and no other quest we have
now lead to these places that I have found
like a Snow sheet or rocks/boulders but if you stand close you can hear things
OR see through into a large space or tunnel.
I don't mean the dungeons as many are deliberately blocked depending on the mission ect I mean the open areas.

I have tried lots of diff things like above posts and nothing happens
It is either there was something meant to go there and they dropped it at the last min for whatever reason "rushed"
OR there there for a future expansion/add-on before GW2 comes out to keep our interest
and would be easer to implement as the places are already there in the layout just not activated.
just my opinion.

If by suspicious noises you mean the sound of pickaxes hitting rock then, no it's not a secret cave, just a bit of scenery.

The dialog is:

Buger Blackpowder: Aye there, ladies! Keep up the good work. The powder we’re making from this ore is some of the finest I’ve ever seen.

Dwarven Miner: Just don’t blow yourself up and put us out of a job, Budger. It’s a beast of a hike back to Droknar’s Forge.

The sound coming from the supposed cave it’s clearly not the pickaxes, but a monster.

Well, sorry about the mixup, I didn't know there was a specific quest that allowed them to appear.

If nobody's found anything yet, I have a strong feeling it will present itself in HM...

Are you sure its not the dwarf's grunts either? I checked it out but I couldn't hear anything besides the picks and the occasional dwarven grunt.

I just checked inside the rock, using a technique to clip through textures, there is nothing to suggest a hidden cave. It's just a rock, get over it.

Umm since Anet said theres 18 dungeons, and theres 18 with no news of them adding more(since they are working on GW2). You all are making a deal about nothing!

I'm not saying they will or won't, but it's not completely unreasonable to hope.

No more. Ignorant. If dwarves are mining there. They werent before. They have dialogs. There are sounds of monsters coming from behind the rock. It is at this very moment a rock that is securing something that will be used later on.

Why do you always bring people down? This is a speculation thread about something that was recently added to game. If you have nothing relevant to provide to the conversation, dont post.

---------------------

So, we have dwarves dialogs, monster sounds....sounds like fun times to me

Also, there are no monster noises. What you're hearing is either the grunts of the dwarves or one of you're heroes/henchmen.

Where Budger appears,

There is a graveyard that has what looks to be a collapsed snowbank behind it.

For a while I was sure that you could blow up part of that snowbank to reveal a secret.
