  Well, it depends if the reward is the exp for the big boss, or some treasure 
he guards.

  If it is worthwhile for one player to continue to repeat the same map to fight 
that same creature, even as they gain levels, it suggests the exp reward for 
that monster is out of whack.  Plus, there are so many maps where there are tons 
of whatever monster you want, that such repeat mechanism don't seem really useful.

  If it is the treasure they guard, it is easy enough to fix that - after 
getting the key from the big bossman that lets you in the treasure chamber, set 
it up so that once in the treasure chamber, you can't get out the way you came, 
but instead must take the exit that puts you back to the surface.  Thus, the 
player would have to wonder through the other dungeons to get back to that point.
