The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Huh. Whaddaya know.
A dungeon or location that can only be visited once per playthrough, leading to Permanently Missable Content for the unwary (not things like bosses staying dead and chests staying empty, as in you can't even go back inside). There's usually no warning that this is the case, especially if other dungeons can be revisited over and over).
For example, Geno Dome in Chrono Trigger, Bevelle in Final Fantasy X, the western half of the world in Golden Sun Dark Dawn...
