×Does it matter if I have not finished all of the rooms on this level if I go this way?
Will I miss level 22 completely?
Should I go back and finish and go the normal way?
Is there a way to do all the rooms on this level and go this way or do I have to go up and then I will get to come back some how?
Do I really want to know?

I have been continually playing contest on the forum since Dec 2004. Having often been addressed as a he my new avatar shows that I am a "Lady". And one with a very sharp sword, too.

I love the monthly contests but it took me a long while before I even placed. 21 contests in fact.

Virtual Burning Man was the first contest I took any place in and I got 1st, wow!. Yes, I have received my prize, a sweatshirt from the DROD store, and I love it.

It took 14 more contest but next I took 1st prize in Media of the Eighth Nov07, followed by a win in the Secret Santa 2007. Check out my entry: http://www.gailswebplace.com/NightSky/index.html

Suddenly I was a winner but, still the goal of a winning hold based contest eludes me....

I keep trying so come and join me.

×No. Yes. Maybe. Nope. I wouldn't know. Okay, actual answers now:
- If it isn't required, you can safely skip it. No green/bkue doors in the way means bliss.
- You will miss level 22 entirely. You could always go back to it with Restoring, though.
- You don't have to finish the normal rooms if you don't wnat to; you do have to find all secret rooms and conquer them if you want access to the Secret. So, are you a perfectionist? If so, clear up the whole thing.
- You will go down to level 23, and will not go back to level 21/22. In JtRH, going back to a previously-explored level will not reset the monsters: a room already conquered will stay conquered (this was not the case in previous versions of DROD, if memory serves).
- The Truth is out there.

×You don't have to complete Level 22 if you don't want to. But you can restore on the 21st level in 1S4E, and then 4E will definitely be completed. As for the stairs to level 22, they're not quite in the usual format, but they are visible.
