What? You sure?

Yep, I'm sure.

Unfortunately, your demo says, "This demo is corrupted or from another version of DROD with different gameplay behaviour."

What version of JtRH are you building your hold on? Mine is updated to 2.0.14

edit: I just patched back to to v2.0.10 and the solution works correctly. Looks like you will have to amend the room so it plays correctly in later versions. Unless it's a bug!

The Catacombs - 2N6E, it's not possible to reach the brain and the queens in the SW corner.

4N4E. looks like I'll need some tips for this one. I've tried a number of different ways, but can't find a way to work my way through the roaches to kill the rest of the queens.

edit: 1N2E doesn't appear to be possible because of the eye at the top right.

1S3E. How you get through the 6 wubbas at the bottom?

Hey everyone,

Yet again, this hold has been risen from the neat casket it was placed and buried in for some time.

Don't be fooled however, the difficulty has been lowered (a bit) Plus four new rooms have been added into Catacombs, hooray!

Ooh, nifty.

I'm at a loss on how to finish The Dungeon 2S... One of the gates (leading north to the first queen miniroom) is broken, and now I'm at a loss as to how to clean the 2nd roach queen miniroom...

Gah, how cruel.

After finally finishing Deep Freeze 1N3E (tar+mud+beam eyes) I find that you forgot to make a character to kill the NW-most eye.

You sure Chaco? When I run through it all eyes end up being killed.

The last version was definitely ok cos I just played my demo from it. Hmm, the new version seems Ok too, at least in the editor.

The Catacombs, 3S4E. What to do? I can kill two goblin kings, but I can't find any way to get by the force arrows.

edit: Oh! So it's like that, is it?

edit 2: The Catacombs, 2N6E - You mended the room and broke it again. There's a force arrow on a trapdoor facing into the SE corner stopping the red door dropping.

Love the 4 new rooms!

edit 3: I'm beginning to think 4N4E isn't possible.[1] I can reach the NW corner or the SSW corner, but it's impossible to work back through the roaches.

[1] I actually began thinking that way 3 months ago.

Whoops...
(Fixed)

Don't worry, it can be done. I find it easier to not drop the trapdoors for quicker slaying.

I think I am going to need something much more specific. I have ben trying this room on and off for 3 months and get absolutely nowhere. I can reach either of the two places mentioned above and after that there's too many roaches. I'm a long long way from dropping the last trapdoor, or even the third or fourth one.

The demo for this room is posted here, if you want hints otherwise...







I don't know whether if I should leave this room as is, or bump the difficulty down a notch...

Well, I'd say don't, even though it had me totally stumped. There's almost a lynchpin solution to this room, and if you miss it, I think the room is impossible. On past experience, others will spot what to do, where I missed it. I'd been going the right way about it, but missing what to do with a couple of the queens. Once you get that bit right, the room becomes almost trivial, except for the number of moves - it took me 1065!

Ho hum. After my brief elation, I'm stuck in the very next room, 4N3E. It looks like I need to get the roach into the square below the south facing force arrow, but I can't see either how to get it in there, or how to kill it once it is in there.

Hey, I updated again. Check first post for hold.

I tried (like three times) to display what got updated, but something bugged up and nothing got displayed...

You'll see what's new...

edit: I went back to the rattlesnakes 2 hours later and beat it first time. Still can't kill more than 5 goblins though. Those secrets in the Catacombs could do with a checkpoint, if only at the entrance or exit of each room.

I went back to do the secret room in The Deep Freeze, and the blue door is there again and won't drop... Hmm, the game seems to think I haven't completed one of the rooms, and also all my demo's and saved games seem to have disappeared.

The Dungeons. Because of the way you have altered the rooms around, and the fact it's not possible to backtrack through a number of the rooms, this level will have to be replayed from the start. I can't deny there's at least a couple of rooms I'd rather not do again, especially as I no longer have any demo's for them.
