Nearly Inaccessible Temple

This happened to me recently.

I thought the temple was supposed to be something you always got. Well this time the game decided I would not get temple and encased the staircase in translucent rock wall. Seriously? Should this even be possible?

Re: Nearly Inaccessible Temple

Is there perchance another downstaircase in the translucent area that would allow you to access it from the level below?

Re: Nearly Inaccessible Temple

I believe there are as many as two secret doors in that one.

minmay_temple_secret_door has exactly one secret door. Just search for it.

Re: Nearly Inaccessible Temple

Say, why are there temples like that, anyway? Isn't that rather spoilery and whatever?

Knowledge of the use of basic commands that are covered in the manual does not constitute spoilers. If you could not be bothered to even skim the manual, I'm not sure what the designers could possibly do to accommodate you. I'm not even sure how you would have managed to get all the way down to the Temple entrance without learning what any of the buttons do; I'd assume prior experience with other roguelikes, but most of them have search commands too.
