I'm going to make a poll on the "least favourite rooms" in Dugan's Dungeon, and I want to know what rooms you think should be included as options. Thanks for your help!

Level 24 1S1W & 1S2W wasn't THAT bad, I actualy got it my 12th time but looking back I didn't rip out my hair like I did on the infamous 3 tar mother room on level 8 or what took about 3 hrs to finaly find out what I had to do on level 25 1S. But out of all of that cussing, keyboard/wall/computer smashing staying-up-to-5am-to-solve-one-room-and-thinking-of-printing-a-picture-of-erik-and-put-it-on-your-dart-board effort would go to the entire level of 17. (Thus concluding that level I probably have the worst kind of efficiency ever.)

Well 1S 1E (L17) was probably the most hardest in webfoot because I always screwed up at the 75% point

It's a travesty against nature if 23:1N isn't put up.

Just to clarify, is this going to be for the least favorite room, or the most difficult? There is a huge difference.

I believe the theme is most disliked, ie the one you're glad you can just skip now that you've finished the game

How many can you nominate?

In Webfoot, definitely the tar mothers in level 8. It makes the Caravel version seem very easy.

In Caravel, it has to be level 25 1S 2W. I lost count of the times I died in this room due to me not timing my moves correctly.

This is for least favourite room.

And you can nominate as many as you want, but I might not put all of them up.

And Matt, I agree with your last comment.

The Thirteenth Level. All of it. Simply because I knew that working smartly I could solve it, it's just that it took FOREVER to work through and it was mainly brute force and not logical reasoning that solved it.

Second would be most of level 11, since some of that tar maze stuff was just trial and error.

When I first played ~3 years ago (webfoot version) I would have had to say level 17, 1S and 1S-1E were my least favorite rooms since those were the ones that stopped me from continuing.

Having recently re-discovered DROD, I'm surprised at how easily I breezed past those this time... right now I've just started tackling level 23.

You'd probably have to give specific rooms or I can't include them. However, I think I could make an exception for level 13, as it's basically one giant puzzle.

Look in the "Insert DROD room image" and you can find out.

That's very scary.

I remember being stuck on that for days just because I couldn't manipulate tar very well.

I totally disagree - it's horrible.

I think this latest picture is the most overlooked hated room. Probably because you see almost immediately what you have to do, but know you'll have to spend years doing it.

I didn't like it too much either.

I don't know - it's definitely one of the most challenging rooms in Dugan's Dungeon; but I always liked it a lot.

Yeah, that room took me a while. I think it should be on the poll.

I'm sure this goes without saying, but remember to use the rooms mentioned in the other similar thread when making the poll
