Burial chamber without a spawner?

[bbyhighness]

Hi, newbie question here. I'm running burial chambers right now and usually there are skelly spawners in them, but now I found one where there's barely anything. It seems suspiciously small and I haven't found any spawners in there. There are what seems like door blocked with rocks, but I haven't killed Eikthyr yet (I know he's easy, I'm just taking my sweet time :D), so I couldn't see if you can get through them. I couldn't hear any skellies or anything behind them, but the fact that I didn't see a single spawner is just extremely suspicious to me.

Is it worth going back there, possibly with a pickaxe? Or is it just a bad chamber? I don't think I missed anything else. I always keep the wall on my right side, so I don't accidently skip a turn or something.

bad chamber - was it on the edge of the black forest and meadows? usually those are the worst for me - i've had a couple with no side chambers at all.

Oh ok, good. It's not on the edge. I've had those before and actually have had quite a good experience with them. I guess I had to run into a bad chamber at some point :D. Thank you.

RNG - never know what you'll get.

all dungeons are randomly generated aswell. some contain more rooms and more enemies and more or no spawners. so thats completly normal. some contain.... 1 room with nothing in it. yes such a swamp crypt exists. all 3 paths lead into a solid wall ^^

Burial chambers have 3 potential passages off the main entrance (left, center, and right) sometimes one (or even 2) will have no passage, just a blank wall. The worst one I ever had was 2 blank walls with the 3rd one having a single dead end with no rooms or chambers. The best one I ever had was a large an meandering passage with multiple rooms and chambers off each passage. Iirc we got 22 cores out of that burial chamber.

Auch, I at least still found stuff in this crypt, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. But finding a swamp crypt and look forward the loot and then get one empty room would feel like the game is laughing at me :D

22 cores is sweet! I think I actually had a similar one. Probably a bit smaller, but there were two spawners and several rooms full of cores. I didn't check how many I got though. At this stage, I just wanted enough for a set of portals and a charcoal kiln, so I can explore further and stock up on coal. So the rest of my cores are chilling in the chest for now.

I still haven't found a good spot for a meadows base (the map is seriously playing with me), so I currently just live in a spawn alter outpost and I would like to set up something more permanent before I kill Eikthyr. Plus I'm too chicken to actually try and kite trolls for ore now (I just kill them as quickly as possible), so I don't really need a smelter yet. But it's probably still good to stock up on cores, so when I see a burial chamber, I go for it :D

Yeah, still a good plan. You need the bones for armor upgrades.

The burial chambers are random... even if you make 2 copies of the same world seed and enter the "same" dungeon location on both, you will have different interior layouts.

I have seen burial chambers which had only 1 or 2 cores, all the way up to almost 30.

I mostly find that many burial chambers have 0-2 spawners, but I did once find a burial chamber dungeon that had (no lie) SIX different spawners and every single one of them was sitting in their own room, guarding their own "deluxe" treasure room beyond, which each contained an altar covered with various coins/gems, a loot chest, a vegvisr (boss location stone for Bonemass), and 4-5 cores in every one of the 6 loot rooms.

This is all from that same dungeon...

Each of the 6 treasure rooms had these similar contents...

Bottom line is, the dungeons are random and you just never know what you are going to get..

I just found one with one sealed passage, one that just was just an empty hallway, and one that had a hallway, door, and 1 skeleton. Didn't take long to clear that, but I was looking for a spawner to get a couple of skeleton trophies...

Edit: Just after typing that I got a Skeleton Surprise and picked up 5 trophies!
