Is Elm Mine map finished from development side?

[charnameLol]

Hello Folks.

First of all, thanks a lot to the Developers of this game. I am playing this game with a second build -- an offensive one. It is so much fun than the first time because I built this character carefully using the wisdom granted by veterans on this forum. Love my character's offensive powers.

Now to the point if I may.


Is the Elm mine map finished from development side? I am asking this because there are a couple of places and things I cannot figure out how to access them in that mine.

1) Please see the highlighted section in this image. How do I access this area?



2) That big cage. It is locked. Can I unlock it?



3) The barricades in this map. What do I do to tear them apart?



4) What kind of key do I need to open this chest in the following image? I don't need gold (got plenty of it). Just want to open the chest.

The Elm Mine is as finished as the whole game
Not only in the mine there are places here and there where somebody might add more content some day.
But yes, your mentioned things are not accessible in the actual release.

Hehe, got it. Thanks for the quick reply.

There are other places where you will see monsters up on cliffs, etc., which you can't access. It's just for the visual effects.
The chest is a bug. Sort of. It actually has contents. You need a key to access it, but it is not possible to get the key. It's not clear to us what to do about it. Allowing you to get the key would be complicated (as it was designed, anyway), and might break things. So the best option might be to just make it a lootable chest, but with different (lower end) contents.

Ah, okay. I played this game a lot but I guess overlooked these visual effects elsewhere in Dhayavar. This time it was dark in the mine and that orange stuff created good contrast to get my eyes focused there. Anyway, nice work with the mine map. The mix of Crit immune monsters with regular ones in a same area of a map was a plus one.

I'm fine with the chest as it is. Didn't know it was a bug. I can now avoid hitting it with my sword every now and than.

And this room here, is also not accessible?

[Nut]

I didn't find a way into it, so it looks to be inaccessible. At least for now ...

Also, what needs to be done to get into the parts of the Elm Mine so I can try grinding for the Nucleus...?

[TheGx]

Or what needs to be completed quest wise etc to get in deeper into this mine...?

[Nut]

The quest can be completed.
There map is complete for now too. It could be that someone might enhance it some day - we never know.
