[b41] Re-entering and leaving Intimidating Cave resets level

#1 Post by Hunter »

On level one of Old Forest, I cleared an Intimidating Cave full of drakes. After leaving and clearing rest of the level one, I re-entered to make absolutely sure I'd found everything using a Vision rune. I had -- it was empty -- but leaving again put me on an uncleared level one. No changes at all except the monsters and items were back and could be killed/collected again. Repeating this experiment yielded the same results, so theoretically someone could just spam-clear this level forever. Leaving the level the usual way -- back to the world map or on to the next level -- resulted in the usual results, so it was just the Intimidating Cave that caused it. And it continued to behave in this manner after leaving and returning the usual way. (Just so it's clear, the Cave itself never reset, just the level it was located on.)

So you say Old Forest 1 got repopulated or a new Old Forest 1 was generated after entering and leaving the Intimidating Cave twice?

Rather, the exact same Old Forest 1 was regenerated, right down to the same layouts, monsters and drops. And not just twice -- every time past the 2nd one re-entry/leaving. So it's basically an infinite scum machine (at least if you get a good level with good monsters and drops...mine was pretty mediocre.)
