The Caves of Maiya is a location in Octopath Traveler and the dungeon of Tressa's Chapter 1. This small grotto, located to the west of Rippletide, serves as the hideout for a band of pirates.
Story[]
After a band of pirates, lead by Captains Mikk and Makk, rob the town of Rippletide, Tressa Colzione, a merchant from the town, pursues the pirates to their hideout in the Caves of Maiya. After knocking the pirates unconscious by slipping sleepweed into a cask of wine, Tressa sneaks into the caves and finds the stolen treasure. However, Mikk and Makk wake up and attack her. Tressa defeats the two captains, only to find herself surrounded by the other pirates. However, she is saved by Captain Leon Bastralle, who scares off the remaining pirates, and the two recover the stolen goods.
Description[]
The Caves of Maiya form a small grotto filled with dark mist, rippling water, and a crate-stacked dock. The pirates have decked out their boss room with stolen goods, including sacks, bottles, and overturned chests. Most prominently, the pirates have rigged a crystalline chandelier in the cavern’s ceiling, flaunting their ill-gotten wealth.

Trivia[]
- During Tressa's Chapter 1, all pirate enemies in the caves will start battles debuffed with three turns of Sleep, a result of the sleepweed she gave them.
- During her first chapter, Tressa pauses for a brief cutscene in the middle of the dungeon, making her one of the two travelers (the other being Ophilia) to pause partway through her first dungeon.
