This is a really bizarre one.
Spoilers for the ending, so I'll secret this bug report:

I imported all this from an older build player, which was in turn imported from 1.5, and I know I've visited (and conquered) every room.

The first thing that popped into my head was Wesley's Webfoot Music level, which has the slime "style", and which also takes you to Dugan's 9 when you "finish" it. So that might confuse DROD somehow. But I have it too and my ending is normal. Very, very strange...

Game on,

Erm - Wesley's hold uses the Lava style. Slime is the level 2 one (red walls with purple floor). But you're right, I doubt it's that. Besides, none of these rooms were from that hold.

I assumed level 8 was the "slime" style since it has, well, lots of slime/tar. I guess I should have just looked in the editor.

Game on,

I'm going to chalk this up to a previous bug that was fixed around build 37 or so. I'll review what it was:

if you can confirm that in the older build the ending was working fine and it was only upon importing into the current build that it became corrupted, then by all means, please post your (older, correct) data files to help squash this bug!

Alternately, a work-around is

It probably did work back then, although I'm not sure.

Yeah, I've seen this thing happen before. Those other rooms should be somewhere in the user holds, whether you've seen them or not.
