Find the Next Level Below the Lava Biome

Updated October 2, 2026 · Delverium Guide

If you cannot find the next level beneath the lava biome, try the developer's route: go toward the lower-right of the map, then follow the passage left toward the entrance in the lower-left. The player asking the question subsequently found it. A few generated layouts can leave a small lava gap along the route.

Search the lower route through the lava map

1. Check your map and any question-mark marker for the next entrance.
2. Travel toward the lower-right of the lava-level map.
3. Follow the available passage left, looking toward the lower-left for the stairs down.
4. Confirm that you have found a usable stairway into the next level.

This is the developer's direction for the player who could not locate the next level. The original poster later confirmed finding it, so it is a concrete route to try rather than an assumed total-depth chart.

If a lava gap interrupts the route

The developer says a rare generated layout may separate the route by a few lava tiles. Finding that obstacle does not mean there is no lower level.

Check the surrounding passage and record the map layout if it remains inaccessible. The source does not identify a universally safe lava-crossing item or prove that you can walk through without damage, so do not treat the hint as permission to take an unsafe crossing.

Distinguish a hidden entrance from a progression lock

This page addresses finding the lower entrance in the lava biome. If your problem is earlier in the game and the stairs are locked behind progression, follow the lore and first-boss route in the progression guide.

World generation makes fixed coordinates unreliable. Follow the lower-right-to-lower-left passage hint in your own map; this guide does not promise an identical route in every seed or a complete list of all floors.
