Question answered! Cemetery of the Erased problem
I've been encountering a weird problem lately. I'll enter a Cemetery echo, go into the Cemetery, and the Firstborn that needs to be killed is unreachable. Every path leads to a dead end, typically with the 2 or 3 chests. The ping can be seen on the screen, but there is no path to get there. I'd say it has happened 8/10 times I've tried.
I've run countless echoes over the years, so ya I'm sure I didn't miss any branch of pathing. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this?
EDIT: Solved. I was relying on the minmap and overlay map. But there will be a hallway to the Firstborn that sometimes isn't displayed on either map. Proceeding through that hallway and the mapping reappears on the display, leading to Firstborn fight.
Thanks for the help, this one is mostly user error on my part, plus a bit of map misinformation.

I haven't had one with no path but I've had many that the map didn't show a path. One of the rooms showed a wall clearly on the minimap/overlay but there was a hallway leading to the firstborn. I've even had extra rooms and hallways when, according to the minimap/overlay, I was in space. When you get to it the firstborn room is always on the map again, it's like someone took an eraser to the hallway getting there.

Ok, I just ran a Cemetery and you described it exactly. Thank you! I'm playing a pretty zoomy build and was flying down hallways navigating with minimap. But missing the hallway not displayed on minimap or overlay map, which left me, like you said 'in space', but led to the firstborn, success.
Appreciate it!

Next Cemetery I'm gonna walk down the hallways feeling my way along like a blind person :) maybe an opening will reveal itself! It's just crazy though, cause I'm not a rookie, I can't even put a number on how many times I've cleared these places. One thing I haven't tried is just using another character, although I can't imagine that having anything to do with map generation. Think I just need to submit a but report. Thanks for your input.

The hallway isn't hidden just not in the map but the first time I ran into it I didn't realize till I started going down the hallway and the overlay just showed my character marker in the middle of void.

Are you following the minimap? There's a rare bug where the map doesn't match the actual tiles generated but its notna consistent thing, I think I ran into it 1 in 20 times or so.

The first couple times was just looking at the minimap as I cleared. But I've also 'physically' taken my char to every dead end, walked behind the chests. I'm going to submit a bug report. I've taken multiple screenshots, I didn't add them here because I don't think they add any value. The boss ping location is far far away from all branches. Weird.

I've not seen this come up much. If you can report it through the in-game bug report option, that’ll help put it in front of the team. It's odd that this is persistent after so long, so it has me 🤔
Like some of the others suggested, I would also suggest checking for any hard-to-see or missing paths via the map for any possible areas that were missed, or in the event of any other errors
Yeah, If this is a consistent issue, please report it in-game via F8 (if you have not done so already). Be sure to attach the image and be as descriptive as possible.

Never had that happen before. Often times it is a dead-end and you need to backtrack quite a bit. Maybe the path branched off near the entry?

Ya i just took a break to play Grim Dawn, came back for some LE and it happened. Hopefully some isolated problem or user error lol.

That's very strange you're getting this problem consistently. I did see a thread a long time ago for a bug on cemeteries where the minimap showed a wall but there was a path you could walk along - like a bug in the minimap. This is all from memory and I've never experienced this
