Tomb: Impossible Layout

How does one get to the bottom of Tomb in this layout?
Attaching minimaps of Level 1 and Level 2 (cyan are stairs up, magenta are stair down).

Level 1:

Two stairs down, the third one is not accessible from this level.

Level 2:

The only accessible stairs are the two stairs leading back up to first level.

One of them is where you came down, and I bet you did not check the other one. I leads you to the secret part of T1.

Neither of the available stairs on Level 2 lead to the secret section of Level 1:

Well, this looks like a bug. Interesting.

Re: Tomb: Impossible Layout

maybe its a gimmick for formicid? shafting on lvl 1 in the southern part to get to that area? carries some risk though :P but dunno how shafting exactly works, how it determines ur position. otherwise seems buggy

otherwise shatter+LRD power 8 will do it, but seems outta range for ur char

nice setup with that holy crossbow + shield :P hf

Re: Tomb: Impossible Layout

The pixel for the stairs on the right side of the level 1 hidden passageway is not there, and that is where one should be. It must be a bug, and should be reported via Mantis. The devs can open the savefile to examine, maybe.
