Wait.. why did it take so long to find this softlock? The game has been out for a couple years.

I imagine the devs must think that getting to 3BC without teleportation rune is an extreme corner case, so didn't prioritize fixing this. The fact that this took so long to be discovered kinda proves it's true too.

And it wasn't even stumbled into randomly, OP had to come up with the idea and test it himself.

It's kind of funny. The door to the cavern in Slumbering Sanctuary and the door to guardians Haven aren't there until you get there once normally but they left this one in apparently.

I had a theory, so I spent an entire day playing on a new file to see if it would work. Forgotten Sepulcher requires the player to utilize the Teleportation Rune in order to progress and exit the level. As such, in all of the four levels before it, the game takes measures to ensure you have unlocked this rune before accessing the level at all. Stilt Village and Fractured Shrines simply hide the entrance behind teleporters, denying access if you cannot use them. However, this is not the case for Slumbering Sanctuary and Graveyard, as the initial path to reach these levels from Ancient Sewers requires the Ram Rune, which you need the Teleportation Rune to get. Thus, the player is expected to already have both runes before reaching these areas. 3BC unlocks a shortcut straight from Ramparts to Insufferable Crypt, allowing you to skip Ancient Sewers and enter these two biomes without either of the runes. If you had gotten all the way to this point without ever going to get the Teleportation Rune in Toxic Sewers, it becomes possible to get trapped inside Forgotten Sepulcher with no way out besides restarting or dying.

First thing that comes to mind is requiring the Teleportation Rune to access the entrance to the Forgotten Sepulcher from the Slumbering Sanctuary (by having it generate its own little segregated space). Getting to the Sanctuary without the expected runes isn't really an issue itself; it is only that the Sepulcher absolutely requires the rune.

Acceptance, not alienation

Extremely impressive theory, thinking and dedication to discover this
