Summary0006737: Sometimes boss rooms don't have bosses?
DescriptionThis is pretty rare. I'll see the boss room on the dungeon graph, enter the room, watching for the warning message in the upper right to figure out what kind of boss it could be.

But sometimes no boss warnings are listed. And I look at the graph and it's now a 'former' boss room. But I haven't killed anything.

I don't really MIND when this happens, at least for the "normal" miniboss rooms. I guess if it happens with a lieutenant or something, that would be a bigger problem.

Was this in ocean shallows perchance?

I believe I've had it happen in several different regions. I haven't really hung out in the shallows for long due to the previously insane boss room spawners (which are much better now in .911, by the way).

I'll keep track of which kind of region I'm in next time it happens.

I've seen it happen once yesterday evening, and it wasn't an ocean shallows. I forgot to note where, I'm afraid! Got distracted by dinner...

I've uploaded an Ocean Shallows Stealth Assassination mission where the boss was Dead On Arrival. (I exited the game and zipped my world the moment this occurred). Hopefully looking at the room will have SOME kind of useful info.

I've seen two missing Lieutenants (in .912). Both gave me warnings when I entered, but neither one actually had any visible boss.

Ran into another case where a boss room was empty.

0.915, Underground1 in a Skelebot Junkyard. No 'boss is here!' warning.

In recent versions we've made a lot of improvements to seeding in general, and at this time I am unable to duplicate the issue with the provided saves. If anyone is able to post another save that has this issue, I'd definitely love it.

Here's such a save (Environ-lwithers.zip), room was just generated with 0.971. I believe it is a grasslands cave, depth 3.

Spotted another one (Environ-lwithers2.zip), release 0.971. This one is a thawing plains cave, depth 2. Upon entering the cave the miniboss music was playing but there was no chat message and no boss to be found. Doors downwards are already unlocked. There are no error messages in RuntimeData.

Happened to me several times in 1.000.
Both in a cave and in the overworld.
Sorry I don't have more detail.

Still happens with 1.006 (happened yesterday) and 1.007 (happened just now), not sure about the earlier versions.

Same description as lwithers last post pretty much. Entered boss room, no message nor a boss, music playing and exits unlocked.

Just happened to me in 1.007 too. In a boss tower. Grassland region I think.
Seems to happen more often in caves.

Just happened in 1.007.
The ticket is a bit confusing. It's marked as "Resolved", "Unable to reproduce" and "Fix before major release".

I don't know what all three of these together mean.

Chris, do you need anything to help you troubleshoot this?

Edit: Btw, according to the log the boss dies instantly as you enter the room.

Just had this in 1.010. It was in a cave, and the cave spawned in a strange manner -- very vertical with no other doors. There were a few holes leading to other caves and that's it.

I suspect the game couldn't find where to place the two shadow bats in this cave.
