The entrance to the is at the east end of the Sandral grounds. A horn kath hound wanders between it and the stones to the west:

Another appears if you leave then return to the area.

Crystal Cave
You enter from and exit to the Sandral grounds at the southwest end of a passage leading east. As you head east you'll encounter two kinrath 'spiders', which only have four legs and an extendable proboscis used to attack and poison prey: any level > 8 Jedi in your party should use Improved or Knight or Master Valor to give your party Immunity:.

You'll encounter another pair of kinraths as you continue down the passage to the northeast:

At the end of the passage to the east is a cave filled with crystal formations with a rock pillar at its center and a pool on its south side.

There are also four more kinraths here, two to either side of the pillar, to the north and south, and a hive kinrath on the east side:

The remains of a Mandalorian can be found in the southeast corner:

There are also six crystal formations in the cave, by the outer northwest and northeast walls, under the ledge to the east, by the edge of the pool to the south and by the north and southeast faces of the central pillar:

To the northwest is a bridge across the river marking the east boundary of the Sandral estate, with a waterfall down to the south.

The estate has doors in its north and east walls, both of which are locked and impossible to open at this time.
