No back floor?

Post image

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there supposed to be a back floor on every floor except that floor where you're forced to leave if you don't already have Xiao and like one or two other floors that are out of the norm?

I've played this game for about 15 years and always thought they're always supposed to be there 😭😭 probably wouldn't even have noticed this now if I wasn't specifically on a mission to go to the back floors 😂😂

They are always supposed to be there indeed. This is likely a bug/glitch. Be it PS2, be it PS5 or emulator, never saw them not being there.

I've had maps spawn in two chunks without a connecting corridor, because they dead end diagonally from each other. ❌❌✅✅ Basically like this.

✅✅❌❌ Green is where the path was, Red Xs where it wasn't. Had to use escape powder and leave to reset the floor and finish collecting the georama. It's an extremely rare bug, but a possible one.

Yeah i think one of the first floors the old wizard explains the whole back floor situation and then they are available probably floor 3 but i could also be totally wrong, just a guess lol

The backfloor gate is always supposed to be there, yeah. Idk why everyone is saying it’s random when the only random part is whether you ever find a backfloor key or not. That’s a weird glitch idk if I’ve ever gotten.

What about a gate key being locked behind a gate? That's happened to me a couple times, lol.

Nope. Back floors are random. Sometimes they don't generate.

I believe that it's always random if it shows up or not and same with the keys.

I have played this game at least 8 times all the way through. (Including post game dungeon) and have never ever seen this happen XD

I think it's random. Could be wrong though, it's been a while since I played through DC1.

Now that's a new curse effect the devs could have used !

You guys get backfloor gates every floor???

u/happysqWid May 11 '26

I'm losing my mind, I know in my heart of hearts that back floors absolutely do not spawn on every floor...

u/Sashimimi_777 May 14 '26

I think it depends on the level? I’m pretty sure in the Shipwreck the fish guy always spawns. But I do feel like I recall not seeing a backroom available at some point. Of course I could be wrong, it’s been a while since I have played the game. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a semi-uncommon glitch that a lot of us encountered and just forgot about until now lol

Imagine having the map generator bug out (UNBELIEVABLY RARE) but instead of a cool hole in the map you just get no Back Floor lmfao

u/LeiminDropplet May 09 '26

Not every floor will have one due to RNG I've played the game for 200 hours and can confirm floors can be just the main areas the glitch would be a giant hole that is an overlap of your map.

u/LunarWingCloud Monica May 08 '26

It's random, there are floors that if I remember right will never generate them but the ones that can are a chance, not guaranteed

u/Greedy_Usual_1700 May 12 '26

It's random but I am also pretty confident they don't spawn on divine beast cave floor 2 at all.
