do boss cell doors always appear?

[KromeHWI]

title basically says it all.
i have looked at the map and wikis and everything claims that the slumbering sanctuary has a 1bc door, but i can not find it for the life of me. i find 2 2bc doors and a 3bc door, but no 1 or 4. im playing on 1bc difficulty. i have alway been able to find the doors when they are in the level before. am i missing something here?

I believe so. The BC doors have a fixed chest/merchant/cells behind them, and they've always appeared for me. But specifically for Slumbering Sanctuary, I'm not sure since I rarely take that route.

Maybe MT updated the BC generation and the Wiki isn't updated yet? I dunno.

[KromeHWI]

maybe im just terrible at finding them, but i feel like ive not been able to find them on other maps too (ancient sewers for example). youd think with the glowing light over the door it would be harder to miss. doesnt it show up on your map too?

[KromeHWI]

do they ever appear in hidden areas?

Hi ! I enter Slumebering Sanctuary often, and there indeed are only 2 BSC doors. They don;t show up in hidden areas =) I guess the wiki is out-of-date or something?

Have you defeated the giant? I think there might be something related to that since i read somewhere that you need to go through the graveyard and defeat the giant before you can take alternative routes.

That's only for the Forgotten Sepulcher's 2 BC door that leads the rhe Giant. I recently went to the Sanctuary again and yes, there is no 1 BC door. The wiki is probably not up-to-date with the latest update yet.

i did defeat the giant (even had a super good combo going that got me the perfect kill!).

the odd thing is im looking at the "map" which was "updated" to the bad seed dlc. but i guess it only added the new stuff, rather than making sure everything else was up to date. seems like there are a few places now that no longer have 1bc doors. too bad, because i often try to structure my runs around what 1bc rewards are available. oh well...

So, not every biome has a boss cell door of each number. If you're looking at a biomes map, too, realize that the number of BC doors has also changed with releases. Make sure you're looking at an up-to-date map.

The BC doors DO show up on your in-game map, and will gray out if you've entered them.

Edit to add: in my experience, the wiki's pretty out of date regarding a number of things. Certain pages will give the correct info, and others will not. It's not a great source of information, imo.

wish there was an in game way to determine this so we didnt have to rely on outdated wikis

[bobhome2]

Yeah, I used to know every BC door along my usual route, haha.

I know I saw a really good map recently... but it might be hard for me to locate it again. I'll give it a quick go, just in case.

This map[deadcells.gamepedia.com] on the wiki looks to be up-to-date. It does how some slight spoilers, like the runes available, so keep that in mind. If a curse chest chance shows 110%, that means there's one guaranteed cursed chest, and a 10% chance for another.

yeah that is the one i use. but clearly it does have a few errors (such as those in my OP). if you find a better one can you share it here?

[bobhome2]

Ah, yeah, I see what you mean. I don't currently have anything better. I haven't referenced any maps in ages...
