Yeti Cave painting [Possible spoilers!]

#1 Post by liondriel »

There's a cave painting in the yeti cave, 2nd level. It's a piece of wall and when I walk against it I learn lore (cool picture, btw). But I can't go through and there's definitely something going on behind it. Autoexplore always brings me back there.

I'm stumped.

Is autoexplore maybe bringing you to a door? I had a Cave generate in a way that autoexplore would bump me up against the back of a painting whenever it brought me to one particular door.

Could you post a picture?

Well, here's the area:

and here's the map.

It looks to me like there's more to come north of where the paiting is, but there's no other way in there...

could you dig the walls, or just use a phase door rune/dream walk until you got in? Looks like the level just generated in a bad way to block off the door to the rooms.

Digging worked just fine, thank you. Is that unusual, worth a bug report? Or should I in fact keep an eye out for "hidden" content in the future?

Isolated rooms are pretty common. It's probably not intentional that the wall is transparent, making the room visible but unreachable. It's possible that it generated on top of a door or something, but that seems unlikely.

You always keep an eye out for separated parts of a level. Could be a vault, could be a golden chest, could be a rare monster with a great item drop in there.
