Hi everyone. I feel pretty stupid for having to ask this but, search as I might, I can't for the life of me find the stairs leading down to the second level in the Caverns of Chaos. There's a merchant selling scrolls and other stuff in the southeast corner, and there is a room that is pitch dark, but the stairs leading down don't seem to be anywhere.

Anybody have any idea what I'm missing?

It should be there somewhere, just keep 's'earching the walls in areas that seem to be able to fit unexplored rooms and see if you can't find a hidden door somewhere.

I assume you have already walked all over the dark room to make sure it's not in there.

Kicking walls can reveal if there's a hidden door - you'll get the message "that really hurt" instead of "that hurt". Rooms and corridors normally reach the edge of the screen, so if there's an empty looking space there might be a hidden door nearby.

Feel free to post a screenshot if you're looking for more specific direction.

Thanks for the responses, guys. As I feared, it turns out that I'm an idiot: there was the smallest section of the map still remaining and I didn't imagine that there could possibly be a secret room there. Sometimes the random map generation can really throw you for a loop.

Anyway, that character died shortly thereafter so it's a moot issue now! :-)
