The Cliffs of Ibarra Tulu Cylinder can spawn in one of three spots: the upper platform past the Cthulhu monument, the cave ramp near the rock path, or the northern dark cave where you hear the drumbeat.
The Tulu Cylinder in Cliffs of Ibarra is not tied to one fixed pickup point. Start from camp, check the two closer cliffside spots first, then use the map to push north into the dark cave if both are empty.
The strongest sign is audio: when the cylinder is nearby, you should hear a mellow drumbeat. Once you pick it up, get it onto the cow cart and extract instead of lingering in the area.

All Cliffs of Ibarra Tulu Cylinder spawn spots
| Spawn spot | Where to check |
|---|---|
| Upper platform | Past the Cthulhu monument, up the small bridges and steps. |
| Cave ramp | Inside the cave near the rock path, at the top of the small ramp. |

KEY!There are three possible Cliffs of Ibarra Tulu Cylinder spawn locations. The spawn appears to rotate between these spots, but the exact selection method is not established, so treat all three as part of the same route.

How to find the Cliffs of Ibarra Tulu Cylinder in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu
This route takes you from camp through all three cylinder checks, then back out through the cow cart and rowboat extraction path.
STEP 1/22
Leave camp straight ahead
From the starting camp, go straight out and pick up the muddy track with the cow cart wheel marks.

STEP 2/22
Follow the muddy trail left
Stay on the brown, muddy ground as the trail curves left and fades in places.

STEP 3/22
Pass through the ruins
Move through the ruins while keeping the river on your left.

STEP 4/22
Lower the bridge if needed
Use the small bridge and loop around in a U shape to drop the bridge for the cow cart.

STEP 5/22
Enter the open monument area
Continue out into the open section after the bridge route.

STEP 6/22
Pass the Cthulhu monument
Go around the left side of the monument while keeping it on your right.

STEP 7/22
Move toward the fallen tree
Follow the muddy track toward the fallen tree, then start angling left uphill.

STEP 8/22
Climb the small bridge and steps
Go up the small bridge and steps ahead of you.

STEP 9/22
Take the next bridge
Continue up the second small bridge just ahead and to the left.

STEP 10/22
Check the upper platform
Look at the top platform for the first possible Tulu Cylinder spawn.

STEP 11/22
Return from the platform
Head back down from the upper platform if the cylinder is not there.

STEP 12/22

Keep the fallen tree log on your left and go down to the right.

STEP 13/22
Head toward the rock

STEP 14/22
Check the cave ramp
Look at the top of the small ramp inside the cave for the second possible spawn.
STEP 15/22
Use the map for the north route
If the ramp is empty, head north on the map toward the dark cave.

STEP 16/22
Enter the dark cave
Go into the dark cave; you will need to manage the lantern instead of holding the map at the same time.

STEP 17/22
Climb the ladders after the cave

STEP 18/22
Listen for the drumbeat
The mellow drumbeat marks the cylinder area in the third possible location.

Upper platform Tulu Cylinder location
After you pass the Cthulhu monument, keep following the muddy tracks toward the fallen tree. Before you reach the log, turn left and climb toward the small bridge and steps.
At the top, take the second small bridge and check the platform. If the Tulu Cylinder spawned here, it will be sitting at the top.
Cave ramp Tulu Cylinder location

From the upper platform, go back down and turn right with the fallen tree log on your left. Push straight toward the rock ahead, then curve right into the cave.
Northern dark cave Tulu Cylinder location
Open the map and head north to the dark cave. Once inside, move through the cave and climb the ladders on the other side.
Listen closely after the ladder section. A mellow drumbeat means you are in the right cylinder area, and this is the cue that separates the third location from a normal cave passage.
Use the drumbeat as your final check: if the first platform and cave ramp are empty, head north and listen for the mellow drum before committing to the pickup.
Extract after picking up the Cliffs of Ibarra cylinder

Picking up the Tulu Cylinder makes the run more dangerous, so leave immediately. Retrace through the cave or tunnel, find the cow cart, and load the cylinder onto it.
From there, keep moving back to the rowboat. Once everyone is at the boat, extract to the main ship with the cylinder secured.
Survival tips for the Cliffs of Ibarra search
If you are rushing the contract, avoid enemies instead of fighting everything on the path. You can run past threats on the monument route, but stay aware of branches because loud movement can make the return messier than it needs to be.
The northern cave is the darkest part of the route, so plan around lantern use before you enter. Also, an empty first or second spot does not mean you missed the cylinder; it can simply be at the next spawn location.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cliffs of Ibarra Tulu Cylinder always in the same place?
No. It can appear at different spots within the Cliffs of Ibarra route, so checking only one location can leave the contract unfinished.
How many possible Cliffs of Ibarra cylinder locations are there?
There are three: the upper platform, the cave ramp, and the northern dark cave cylinder area.
What sound means the Tulu Cylinder is nearby?
A mellow drumbeat means you are close to the cylinder area, especially in the northern dark cave route.
Do you need to bring the cow cart to extract the cylinder?
Yes. After collecting the cylinder, place it on the cow cart, then return to the rowboat and head back to the main ship.
What should you do if the cylinder is not at the first two spots?
Go north to the dark cave, pass through it, climb the ladders, and listen for the drumbeat that marks the third cylinder area.
