Cake Hunt (objective)

The Cake Hunt objective is a special, opt‑in challenge in Vault Hunters where the goal is to collect as many cakes as possible inside the vault.

Unlike other objectives, a Cake Hunt can not appear randomly and must be crafted: Put a Glazed Vault Rock onto the Vault Altar to create a Cake Crystal.

Obtaining a Glazed Vault Rock

• Buy one from the Black Market
• Purchase one inside a Vendor Room

How the vault works

• The vault generates one room at a time. Each time you find and right‑click a cake, a new room appears.
• A pink screen tint intensifies as you approach the cake, guiding you to its location.
• Every cake you eat adds a Cake Layer modifier. Layers stack indefinitely and increase difficulty and rewards, as detailed below.

Finishing the vault

To complete a Cake Hunt you must locate a Crake Pedestal (yes, Crake, not Cake) and right‑click it. These pedestals have roughly a 10% chance to spawn in a room, so if you spot one, mark or memorize its location. After you have finished hunting cakes and looting, return to the pedestal to complete the vault.
