Hi all. Probably it's gonna be hard handle all these hold I'm building (another one for JTRH is on the way) but since in 3 weeks the time I'll have for DroD it's gonna be very limited I must build as much as I can.
This is a little hold of 3 levels (only 2 of them are completed, for the third one I need ideas I still don't have) in which you have to kill in every room the slayer. I don't know if something like this has already done before but I had some ideas of how to kill him. Since it's not considered a monster you can simply run away but I made it not possible, but I'm sure there is a loophole. Anyway I hope you'll enjoy killing the slayer
P.S there is no backtrack in these levels, the only way to



continue is going ahead, there are no crossroads.
The hold is for TCB 3.3

Anyways, I think that you should continue with this hold. One suggestion: Can't you just use a script on the door with a "Wait while Entity" command, which opens the door when all slayers are killed?

I've never attempted to make a hold, but I have seen something about scripting in the ingame help. It's probably available in JtRH and newer.
I see I'll look there

I got as far as Level 2, 2N but I keep getting a tar baby spawning before I can kill the mother. My usual lack of efficiency letting me down.

Well I don't know how you are solving this room but 2N needs no efficiency, also you might

Yeah, I did that immediately after I posted here, however I didn't manage to kill the slayers, so I just left. BTW, there's a difference between a room needing efficiency and me being inefficient.

I see In this case try the other rooms, if you clear the other rooms and go back on this one you'll definitely kill the slayers
By the way I'm trying to use scripts but still I need some time, so I will first finish to build the hold and then I'll learn the main scripts and add them.

Level 3, 1W. The yellow doors opened before I killed all the slayers.

Level 3, 1N1W. Yellow doors didn't open after slayers were killed.

You know I thought a lot too; the fact is that this is the only way I found to prevent easy solutions; the only purpose in 1N level 2 is to kill the slayer by trapping him in the tar-gel-mud; if you find a better way to keep the intended solution and kill also the monsters I'll modify it.

I could do with a couple of tips on the last level. 1N, I can kill the slayer but don't know how to kill the brain so I can exit the room. 2E, got no idea how to kill the slayer here. I assumed I should get him to kill himself, but I can't manage to do that.

It's fine as it is because we know the hold is all about the slayers. It just doesn't 'feel' right leaving with something left alive.

On 1N you might

About 2E I can tell you that

×and it's possible to kill it with your sword. But the bomb is there for a purpose yes.

And I just realised what that purpose is.

BTW, Level 3, 1N, the yellow door opens as soon as the slayer moves.

edit: Something changed in Level 3, 1E. The first yellow door gets closed when caught by the wisps in the top left part of the room.
