Slightly spoilerish if you don't know about the easter egg dungeons.

After several weeks of enjoyable gameplay, I've finally found something to disappoint me. I just went through the Northern Wilderness dungeon and, wow, I almost fell asleep. The layout was fairly interesting, but I think the only placed encounter I had was a Hoarding Slime. A few fairly easy random encounters and that was it. It just seems like such a waste as there are several locked up rooms with nothing in them that would have been perfect lairs for some sort of beastie...and its treasure! The other two dungeons seemed to have 'end' fights and an ok payoff for taking the time to explore. Did anybody else have this experience, or was I just unlucky in what the game decided to generate when I entered?

I remember golems and flying snakes of some sort...not too much for my party but many to go through. The end fight was the only challenge and you are right...those locked doors to nowhere were a letdown to say the least!
