Cave Diving Summary
After finishing the medicine quest, you get the Annealed Sword. A blue-haired man is impressed by your progress and tells you his name is Diavel and he wants to make a team to go against the bosses of SAO so that everyone can get out. You exchange contacts with him.
Wyzeman figures you can prepare for worse things to come if you try and explore the Teardrop Cave you discovered before.

Cave Diving Walkthrough
[1] Complete the quest.
The farmer's wife thanks your party for the medicine and gives the sword as promised.
Wyzeman tries to check on Saayu but gets no word on her.
In the midst of your conversation, a blue-haired man interrupts. He introduces himself as Diavel and he is looking for capable fighters to help in clearing out the floor bosses.
He asks for your party's contacts and hopes you can meet again once you reach Tolbana.
Tolbana seems like a very far-off thought for now. Wyzeman thinks it'll be good to explore the cave you went to before, as it might provide good materials or weapons to arm yourself with.

Seems like there's a familiar friend that wants to say hello.
[3] Defeat the Dire Strife Wolf.
This version of the boss has 2 phases. Even when you cut it in half, it can attack with a huge AoE so don't let your guard down.

There will be no enemies from here on out, so you can just sprint to the Safe Area.
Return to Horunka before delving even deeper into the cave.
