Diablo – the timed treasure cave in desert – Act 2

diablo-3

Near the beginning of Act 2 while I was spelunking in the desert, I came across a cave that someone was standing outside of. He spoke of there being a treasure buried inside, but when I entered the cave, it was being timed. I only had a set number of minutes to reach a secret room I believe. Well I didn't make it to the end and the NPC said "the cave will be closed for another milennia" or something to that effect.

Does anyone know what cave I'm talking about and when/how to re-open it? I would like to try and get the treasure he spoke of.

It's a random event that has a chance of occurring in any game you make

I ran into it once and also failed. I'm fairly sure you have to either be pretty lucky in going the right direction, or flat out run through the place, ignoring the mobs.

We ran through the entire thing, but paused for a few seconds here or there to kill mobs when we accumulated to many. After a few dead ends we found the final room with the teleporter in it, but ran out of time right when we entered the it.
