"Ruined Dungeon" - Can't find 6th boss.

[kirai]

I've done the ruined dungeon before on another character, and found all 6 bosses and opened the endless dungeon.

However, on my current character, I can't find the 6th. I've dug out just about every area so there is no more visible "fog", but I haven't dug out every single tile yet.

I'm a bit confused, because google searches on this issue tell me it dates back to 2011, and there are some hints that it's been fixed.

Any ideas? Are there any ways I can fix it? Might it be patched in the future to apply a retroactive fix?

I'm not actually sure what solutions exist for that.

I would probably have to recommend just leaving the dungeon, unfortunately.

I reported the same kind of bug in the previous version (a different of the boss was missing) but it had not fixed

Very annoying as it prevent completion of the ruined dungeon , as if one boss is missing, one of the orbs will not be activated and the last door will then never open.

u can delete the zone file from ruined dungeon to generate a new level afaik (in ur save\charactername directory)

[Robsoie]

Thanks, i didn't knew about this trick.
Though i guess you need to save out of the zone or you may have some nasty errors.

A bit like what i do since a few versions with all those known problematic "boss is not there" zones (tower of telos that very often have the boss not there at all , reknor that sometime have the Destroyer missing on the portal area), i make and backup a save before entering the area

I've got this bug on my version and deleting the zone file isn't helping - I've done it about six times on this character, reverting to a save where I have yet to enter the zone each time, and it's always broken. It's consistently the NE room that's missing a purple, and if I idle in there I hear slime noises(?) and sometimes there are persistent effects from '_________ the Guardian'.

Just had this happen to me. Northeast corner, no guardian in that room. Searched the entire dungeon to make sure it wasn't just teleported somewhere, and it is nowhere to be found.

I just had this happen to me tonight too. I regenerated three times and it was always the NE room missing a Guardian. I did get the phantom damage effects in that room once or twice but not every time, and eventually I just gave up on that level.

I'm having this problem right now
I had a really hard time getting this character to lvl 31 nm rl, a few weeks were spent actually trying to do it i think

for me its a snake noise being made in the room, and as far as I can tell the enemy guardian literally does not exist
I tried casting Chain Lighting on an ooze I made that was already up literally during the turn that I heard the snake noise by using storm bringer gauntlets in the center of the 5x7 room with the door closed, the lightning didn't chain anywhere; I also tried using pyrokinesis on literally the turn just after the snake noise was heard while i was in the center of the room already with the door closed, nothing in the combat log about damage taken

if a dev is interested in attempting to squish this nasty, metagame breaking bug, I have a copy of my save file that I wouldn't mind uploading here, where the character is at the very start of the ruined dungeon, but i don't also have the charball, but if you're really interested and you get here sooner I can just save the game as it is in the middle of the room, with he snake noise being heard while I hold down the 5 button on the numpad, and upload the save+charball, validated by the server

every single time I delete the file for ruined dungeon and go generate a new one for that particular save file, I always have the exact same problem in the exact same room with the exact same snake noise on that save

the version I'm running is 1.1.5 from the website, and the only addon I am using is OrcPitsRestoration or w/e its called, by auraofthedawn

Zeyphor, yours must be the dreaded trouser snake. You can kill it by killing yourself. Sadly it has just as many lives as you do so by killing it you end up killing yourself not being able to activate the orbs anymore.

Deleting the zone file doesn't work either as the snake resides in your save file. You can delete the snake by deleting your save but it will of course make you not able to play the game on that char.
