Quote:[2] It's actually the strangest level in the game. It is the only place outside of the act camps that is totally free of monsters. I guess it fits into the storyline and was created in the early days of the project. I've always thought that it has an Easter Egg someplace.
Are you forgetting The Forgotten Tower level in act 1? This is the little area that you go 'down' through from the Black Marsh to get to the Tower Cellar Level 1. NO monsters are set up for it.
Another close canidate is the Inner Cloister. While there are monsters set up to appear there; the minimum spawning distance from a VisX (jail and cathedral links) or Portal (waypoint) is such that there is only a very small amount of area in three of the corners that monsteres are allowed to be randomly spaced inside of. There will be times when no monsters will be spawned in this area due the minimum distance restriction. The Forgotten Tower Cellar levels 2 and 4 in normal difficulty (all difficulties in v1.09) can also end up devoid of monsters for the same reason if their maps are not created in one long straight line.
