What if you needed to complete a relatively simple puzzle or horde challenge, but a brained, invincible metallic head was harassing you throughout? In that case, well, you might just be playing this level.

Since it was neglected in-hold: Huge thanks to KituU for giving everything a bit of testing way back!

And, I've now marked the entrance non-scorable, as it should be.

This is a quick, relatively hard hold with 4 puzzles based on a bodyless gentryii. If you are a fan of the gentryii, and you like manipulation, you're going to enjoy this, otherwise it can be a bit intimidating. For me, it was a mixed experience.

I did not agree with the difficulty order of the rooms. While 1W was the easiest, going counterclockwise, for me, did not increase the difficulty. 1E was way easier than 1S (even with the challenge solution), since in 1S you have to parse the room. 1N was really tough but since I knew immediately what to do, it was only an execution problem.
