I enjoyed playing through this hold. Some rooms were lots of fun and used very clever scripting. A few were just annoying, but that was a relatively small number. The Catacombs is an impressive level with a lot of fun stuff in it.

I'm going to give it a 7 rating and 6 brains of difficulty.

I'm not sure if the room with goblins is possible but otherwise those rooms work exactly the way other similar rooms work in other holds. E.g. MetDROiD Prime : Magmoor Caverns: 1S works same way.

It is possible when you enter from the south, but no demo is recorded.

I was a bit wary of this hold since I knew before I started that it had a lot of scripted puzzles (and an early scroll confirmed this...) but it was actually a lot of fun. Some of the scripting was a bit confusing but on the whole it was quite a unique experience. Some of the rooms are quite tricky and frustrating (particularly some of the horde and tarstuff rooms) but there were a lot of fun puzzles as well. The final maze level wasn't too difficult to navigate although there were a few trivial rooms which seemed like they had only been added as filler.

I would definitely recommend this for the more experienced player as a good example of scripting within a hold.

Difficulty: 6.5
Fun: 8

There is a bug with high scores in this hold that should be fixed. See here
