Here's some tips you can use in your holds:
1. Serpant box: A serpant making a box realsing a bunch of monsters.
2. Continue Mind Benders: Try putting chekpoints at places that are hard.
3. Monster help: Using monsters to help such as
trapping a Wraithwing with a Roach.
4. Story bitter: Since one tip is don't base it on a story and some people base it on storys why not do both?
//5\\. ????

Not a bad Idea, although this trick is fairly common
2. Continue Mind Benders: Try putting chekpoints at places that are hard.
there has been lots of discussion about this technique, but popular opinion frowns on this kind of behaviour.
3. Monster help: Using monsters to help such as
trapping a Wraithwing with a Roach.
Yeah, this has been done before, but it's not a bad idea.
4. Story bitter: Since one tip is don't base it on a story and some people base it on storys why not do both?

I'm afraid I cannot understand what you are saying here. Perhaps you could try saying it a different way.

Anson, this question isn't totally related to this topic, but have you played either King Dugan's Dungeon or Journey to the Rooted hold right to the end?

More tips:
7.Backwords, Some holds need puzzles to be sovled backwords such as:
Hmmmmm.... I need to open that door!
To open that door i need to hit that orb!
How do i hit it?
With a mimic!
Where do i get the mimic?
Behinde that red door!
How do i open that red door?
Make that trapdoor fall!
And so on.

8. Brainstorm,
This is where you have to think about a room,
Like you see 3 paths,
A roach queen, and a goblin.
Think about the lay out and see what you do such as:
That path is too long then that roach queen will spawn and i will die,
I can't go in that path,
When the roach queen spawns i'll have to stab ALL the roachs but the goblin will kill me.
But that path has the roachs blocking the goblins way so i can not die on that on.

One thing I recently thought up involved brained roaches - the original concept won't work too well in a regular DROD room as things are just too cramped, but the idea of using brains + pressure plates is neato - a place to which the roach must not go is easily makeable.
