Why are there areas in the labyrinth that's impossible to get to?

you can get there, right walls are halfsized and you can use any movement skill to get there (blink arrow, that warp thing, leapslam, etc)

[Whoo]

That is how GGG made areas not only in lab but maps also that you cant get to

They have done it again:

Locked off area without any handles or switches or anything to open the doors. And a nice chest, trolling me on the other side.

I've tried everything I can think of - leap slam, whirling blades, lightning warp, phase run....nope, there's no way to get to the chest.

♥♥♥♥ YOU GGG! >:(

did you send a bug report and optional did make a thread in the official forum?

The door you're standing at is the exit. To the top is the tile puzzle, that's the way to the chest.

To the bottom is a courtyard area. Part of the wall is missing. I'd check that zone for a switch to lower the wall.

If the 3 small pillars marked on the map is a puzzle, then what the [CENSORED] do I do with them? I couldn't click on them as they "were there, yet they weren't there". I could walk right through them, like they were just holograms or something.

Those "pillars" on the minimap are markers for (closed) doorways. These typically open via switches, levers, keys or floor plates.

The puzzle is the field where you see the fire/cold/lightning symbols. You need to trigger the plates in order displayed at the entrance of the puzzle until you reach the end to open the doors to the prize chamber (the one with the curious lockbox).

Iirc you need to walk over the introduction plates (the ones that show you the order) to open the first door (upper right "pillar") and start the real puzzle.

Puzzling, eh ? xD

the Lab is not really meant to be a cake-walk. Try not to get too invested in each run, or you will get burnt out fast. Do what you can, learn what you can, keep trying. The Lab is like a challenge area.

Keep at it, you will sort it out. :)

I have read about that tile thing when it was introduced, but since I've done the lab probably 100+ times since then without ever running into it I had no idea how it looked or worked.
Thanks for the replies, makes me slightly less salty. :P

looks like a small 3-piece floor plate puzzle to me, all other puzzles I am sure you would spot no problem. Next time keep an eye of such plates right infront of the entrance door, for some reason they are hard to spot, and I have been trolled by it few times myself till I finally discovered that it is not a bugged closed area, but simply hard to spot floor plate puzzle.

Why I think it's a puzzle not z wall-switch case? the door are located on the rigth-bottom side of the screen, which means you cannot place a switch on such wall due to isometric view perspective if u do not have camera rotation option available - and we don;t have such in poe. And searching my memory, I cannot think of even one case of a wall-switch, that wasn't located on the same wall as corresponding door is.

In theory, it could also be a floor lever, but the lever itself would be marked on minimap, and it is not.

All in all my bet is trolling 3-piece floor puzzle.

More Lab stuff.... :P
I opened a chest - but now my char is stuck inside of the chest:

He's completely frozen, but everything around him appears to move/animate normally.
The only thing I can do is Alt-F4. >:(

Lol. Nice..

Leap slam or similar move skills could helped.
