Route 5X

Route 5X is the route which connects Herculis Town and Therian Cave together. While the first part of the route takes place on grassy land, the second is traversed over several bits of water and waterfalls.

Walkthrough
TIP: The player should have access to both and  before entering this area.

Overall, Route 5X is simple to navigate through. The player needs to work their way southeast from the Herculis Town gate, then traveling further south and then west before coming across an aquatic area. This waterfall-filled area can be traversed through in two different ways. The first way requires the player to head further to the west, travel down the waterfall, and then travel around the outside water pathway until another waterfall is reached on the far eastern side. From here, the player can travel up the waterfall, head to the waterfall directly west of here, travel up this waterfall, and then navigate west and then south to reach the entrance to Therian Cave.

However, by far the quickest way to reach Therian Cave would be to ignore the first waterfall and instead surf through the small pathway directly to the east of this waterfall. Following this path around in a semi-circle brings the player to the final waterfall, which after climbing allows them to reach Therian Cave by heading west and then south.
