How ? I only played 10h and have found 4 mini dungeons. And unlike main game, their's quality is pretty good. I think From went to right decision when made fewer dungeons but improve the quality
Can't tell you, I'm looking everywhere and so far only found lava ruins which can be called mini-dungeon. I don't count the one with the mini-boss, cuz it's extremely short and there's nothing but the mini-boss there. I also went south and south-east on the first available map, so I can't tell if there are more mini-dungeons up north where the huge castle is. I liked most of the uniquely designed min-dungeons in the main game, but there was also many more very similar and very short ones with the same mini-bosses at the end, so I kinda get it that they wanted to fix that somehow and offer less but better. Anyway, it's good to hear there's more like the one I found so far
I could just be stupid but anytime an NPC gives you a map and in the item description of said map it says "indicated" something on the map... like where??? I've had like 5 maps given to me so far and have not seen anything new added to the map. Could just be missing something though.
You need to examine and look at the map they gave you, not at the main map of SOTET - nothing will be added to it after NPCs will give you their maps. If you haven't already, turn on new the "new item notification" in the options - this should be on by default, but From for some stupid reason decided to make it an option in the menu and turn it off)))))))
Also, the maps NPC gave you are not in the map section of your inventory, they're in the section where letters and some shit are, at the bottom.
