I already reported that, and the new version has it fixed.


EDIT: Okay, I think I'll probably stop here for the night. I am at the Spider Ball Guardian, and despite knowing I beat it before last version, I can't do it right now. I am on the last section, and I do know that you can only stop up one section, if you do any more it will close down.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out. Onward ho!

EDIT: Okay, now I'm really stuck. I;m at the bomb training room. I can either die at the lest set of bombs or be too slow. Which is better?

Speaking of Maguig's Desert 2S2E... Once I did that room, I've found myself kinda stuck back there. I have no clue where I'm supposed to go and I can't get any farther x_X Where's that lovely hint thing that was in Samus's ship in MetDROiD Prime when it's needed...? ;)
Well the hint system here is the part where you collect items and go through a staircase journey. The one that will make the most progress (usually leading to another item) is marked with !!.
Hee... Yeah, I got that much. My actual problem's that I *went* through the room I got told to by the !!, but then got stuck at 1S2E and can't get any farther. I've gone back and checked through restore, and I've done every room I've seen so far in the stairways. It *almost* looks like I'm supposed to be getting the mimic potion ability thing in order to get any farther, but I can't figure out where *that* is hiding.

EDIT: Ah, there we go, the ol' "post what you're actually *stuck* on and immediately find the answer" method... ^^;;

Okay, I really can't seem to do it. This is the first room I've REALLY had trouble on. Not just think I did.

Edit: Here's a demo.

I agree that room needs some hints. I'm much further now, at the desert!

But erm, why are there still secret rooms without texts? Are those intentional? Or are you still working on them?

I actually meant the puzzle that I was stuck on, but the one in the gardens is good as well. I was thinking adding to the scroll in the bomb room, something around the lines of "Stay ahead of the bombs at all times."

Winter Factory Sence North Once East, you have west and east mixed up. West is left, East is right.

I might re-visit thoughs roach rooms - make them a little easier. I was going to leave those other secret rooms blank, but it would improve the hold if they did have text as well... I still need to architect these rooms properly.

There seems to be no way to reach the key in the dark hall of combat masterey room. All the crumbly walls don't seem to go where they should!

BTW 75% secrets found!

Okay, I;ll look one more time.

In King Armin's Fort Once South Twice East there is an unreachable spider. If the room isn't meant to be clearable, at least make it not required.

Okay, I really give up. I'm assuming that it's not even in those two rooms, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere else. And I don't want to look around everywhere. Hint? Please? :(

EDIT: YOU ARE EVIL! EVIL I SAY! PURE..... EVIL!!!

I see where I need to go, I just need to get there now. Did I mention you are evil? :P

I've uploaded a new hold version (1.2).
This will allow you to climb the final stairs to glory ;)

How long did it take you?

Okay, here are my stats.

Moves: 209213
Kills: 19845
Deaths: 746
Time: 15:34:08
Secrets Found: 0

It seems to have reseted my secret count. I was at 99 too. :~( What's behind the master wall! Now I will never know!

EDIT: I forgot to say, if I was rating it now, and assuming that Emporer Ing and Dark Samus are as good as the rest, I'd give this hold a 9.6 and a difficulty rating of I don't quite know yet.

I just tried that, about half my secrets are missing, even some of the upgrade rooms. I guess I'll have to try every secret again. Was there anything behind the master wall, or just empty space? You think, maybe, you could e-mail me a copy with the master wall open? :blush
