Important! The game crashes from walking down the alternate ending stairs. Also see my comment above, and please don't make the alternate ending any easier by changing the cost to reach the lucky greckle. The alternate ending is supposed to be hardcore!

I've never able to even to get to 500 DEF in any time I've played (though that was a very old version of the hold, as you understand I'm not going to play now if it's going to be submitted to HA very soon.)
