SOT: Suffering - purpose of this crumbling wall?

I’ve run Steps of Torment several times on multiple characters, and I’ve found this crumbling wall.

[SPOILER]The location is just across from the Bone Reliquary, near the entrance of Suffering.

The crumbling wall does not appear to offer access to another location or hidden room, as most every other crumbling wall does throughout the game. There is no loot upon destroying it.

What is the purpose? :confused:

Thanks in advance!

There is no purpose. Some environments are just destructable.

I know that you can destroy things like furniture, rocks, etc… with AOE effects, as I’ve seen this throughout the game. However, this seems to be a unique instance - I’ve never seen any other crumbling wall that didn’t lead to another room or area.

If there is one similar to this, especially if it is a highlighted/clickable location, please let me know.

There’s one north of the Broken Hills rift. There’s a tower with a breakable wall that leads nowhere. There’s no chest, nothing. I’d always thought it was a bit strange, as I’d never encountered another breakable wall without something behind it, but apparently I’ve just missed some (I guess I need to play more builds that AoE all the things. :slight_smile: )

True… Though at least that’s another “room”. I just logged into my character and went there - to find a Marked Rock, with about 400 iron bits, a health potion, and 4 yellow (Magical) items. Not worth much, but oh well.

Thanks for the replies. Thought maybe it was just a mystery I wasn’t finding the answers to my searches.

Cheers! :slight_smile:

Barrowholm Mines…just to name 1 of the more obvious ones.
some just break and lead to no more.

I think some of these walls can contain items at times, I also accidentally broke one such wall and found a bounty hunter quest, although that might have been from a nearby lootable item which I did not see that could have also been opened.

It’s further encouragement to bring a build with blitz / shadow strike as you have one more thing to click on to skip past the worthless skeletons.

The one in SoT, I was thinking gave you access to fire ranged abilities through the hole, even if I can’t run through (haven’t really tested this).

Another one is in Rotting Crop lands, south of the portal. It’s about 50/50 that I can go through that one. Not sure what that is about.
