Why is Goddess' Rest an optional RNG dungeon?

[Malidictus]

No spoilers, just a simple question. That dungeon is tied to the main storyline of the DLC, yet it's not guaranteed to spawn. It's like playing through Sha'Hala N'erud and not having the Override Pin spawn in the world. I've nothing against procedural generation, but it feels like scenario-specific assets should be guaranteed to spawn with their scenario.

You cna get 3 endings in the new DLC, if something does not spawn it means that one ending option is out, and you have 2 others.

3 endings? I only know the 2 give the key item in goddess rest or give it in the throne. what is the 3rd?

there are 3 endings????

there are 'technically' three endings. the standard one is by giving the relic to lydusa in the bloodless throne, there's an alternate version of this if you instead first go talk to walt before giving it to her. the true 'alt kill' for lydusa requires you to have the goddess rest side area and to place the relic into the basin within the temple.

Three if you count getting shanked. However, that's the same as the default ending. It's the same boss fight, the same drops and the same general story. We're not talking "Ravager" here.

Yeah, Walt shanks you for the item and takes it to Lydusa and she kills him if you talk to him with it first before going straight to lydusa.

What I meant by that is I don't count this as a third ending. It's just the first ending with a slightly altered cutscene. Compare this to something like the Ravager. That has four distinct endings, each with a different drop. Meanwhile, Lydusa has only two, and one of them might not even spawn.

Again, I'm of the opinion that Godess' Rest should always spawn in that scenario. It doesn't need to always spawn in the same place, but it should be guaranteed. Think of it like the Clock Tower event in Losomn. If the tower spawns, the Lemark District will also spawn. You don't run the risk of getting one without the other.
