This is a sub-page of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne.

The game contains a number of unused areas, several of which are completely unique. However, most of them are early versions of maps that are used.

Loading the maps#

You can force rooms to load using this code, then entering a door or exiting a terminal.

Early Rooms#

There are a few early rooms can be found within the folders of some levels. These areas can only be loaded by using RAM-editing to load the level and the correct subset that contains these unused maps. The doors don't work in these levels, and when you stand close to a door, an error message that reads something like script procname invalid [005_01eve_09] gets sent to the tty console. This is likely due to the scripts that once existed for these rooms are no longer present in the game.
