In this game, you start at 0 DEF and only very little HP and ATK compared to normal.

The intention of this hold was to make it so that every monster was exactly 35% health, 18% attack, 1% defense, and 1% greckles and reputation as a monster from the originial RPG gang of baddies.

Not sure if this was in previous versions as well, but in The Tower, defeating the Prince of Chaos (3S) drops the trapdoor on the next turn, but doesn't remove the trapdoor gate. I assume this happens because we as the player aren't the one dropping it. Exiting and entering the room doesn't help either.

What version of the game are you using? There was a bug when HAing this where in the most recent stable version because the red door was being deliberately toggled but removing the trapdoor also toggled the door, the door to the pickaxe wouldn't open. This got fixed to make it possible to complete the hold. I assume there was a behaviour change somewhere along the way in the engine to have removing all trapdoors toggle the doors.

Oh my, I haven't updated in forever. Pretty weird, since I fully completed an earlier version of this hold where I guess this bug didn't appear. Oh well, no harm done!

Does anyone have any comments on this hold in terms of how fun it is to play, or anything I could have done better for future RPG holds?
