If you are new to TLOPO or maybe it's been a while since you played on POTCO, here's a handy tip. When looking for enemies in caves, click on the MAP button on your compass. It is circled with an arrow pointing to it in the graphic below. Then you can see a map of the caves. The highlighted circle is your range of visibility where enemies show up as red dots. Any quest enemies will show up with the yellow triangles around it.
I hope this helps.
