Deep Dish Dungeon Bodies Elevator: Reach the Crypt Lift
The glowing BODIES marking points toward a deep shaft in the spider prison. Reach the lower landing through the crypt, pull the elevator lever, board the platform and ride up to the prison. The route connects matching landmarks across two October 2026 recordings; their exact builds and platforms are not stated.

Which shaft does BODIES indicate?
In the spider-prison corridor, holding an Azurea Mushroom reveals BODIES and arrows on the floor in front of a deep shaft. The marked entrance has a brick arch, chains, nearby barred cells and spiderwebs.
WorldOfVods falls from the prison shaft and the death view looks out onto a bone-strewn room with a red floor strip. Later in the same recording, the crypt approach shows the matching room from the opposite direction. Twilight’s separate recording shows a lever at the lower shaft and a ride up to a webbed, barred prison landing. These matching landmarks support the route; neither video shows the BODIES writing and the successful ascent in one continuous trip.
The recording shows a BODIES marking and a lever-operated elevator, but does not establish the meaning of the word or a requirement to carry a body onto the platform. The three-lever prison door is a separate puzzle.

Reach the lower side through the crypt
Use the mine and crypt route rather than jumping into the empty shaft. The large door between the mine and the main hub is a shortcut after it has been unlocked from the mine side.
A player reported dying after falling into the deep prison hole. Treat a missing platform at the top as an open drop, not a safe way to begin the route.
- If the hub shortcut is still locked, follow the sewer boat route with its fuse switches set up, enter the mine and unlock the large door back to the hub. Find the crypt entrance near that door.
- Descend the crypt spiral staircase using nails and rope, and move through the sliding doors. At the lower level, look for the speaker and the nearby sleeping bag.
- From the lower spiral route, find the sprout pattern on the floor and follow the path diagonally right to its far end. The elevator lever is beside the lower landing in a room with bones and skull-lined walls.

Use the lower lever and check the ascent
At the lower landing, interact with the ELEVATOR LEVER to bring the wooden platform down. Step onto it and interact with the elevator to start the upward trip; leave at the webbed prison corridor between the barred cells.
In Twilight’s recording the lever displays an interaction prompt, the platform descends to the lower landing, then moves up the long chained shaft after the player boards and interacts with it. The player exits at the upper prison landing. On PC the recording shows an E prompt; use the interaction control displayed by your own version.
The footage shows the lower-to-upper trip. It does not establish how to call the platform from the top in every state or whether a later update changes that behavior.
