This is the same exact idea as 210 levels of terror AE Edition, complete with the same exact names for each level with some slight twists in some levels to acknowledge the change in elements introduced,
but each section, with 8 levels each except for every fifth section which will have 10 levels, is dedicated to a JtRH level rather than a KDD level, so expect some greater pizazz throughout the hold like scripted speech, secret rooms (only one so far), non-wall obstacles of different sizes and varieties, and more than one type of tiled floor.
However, just like the AE Edition is limited to AE elements and themes, this one is limited to JtRH elements and themes, so there will be no lighting or scripted challenges, and there will be no advanced scripting like going to an entrance, custom characters, or cut scenes, just the very basics of the 2.0 days.
The first four levels are dedicated to teaching the very basics of the first level/first half of it, and like for the AE Edition I will not post any further levels until the very first couple are tested so as not to not overwhelm the tester with too many things at once.
My plan in full for all the rest of the hold, in detail:
Click here to view the secret text
×5: Introducing crumbly walls and how they work with yellow doors and orbs to make clearing roaches harder, like the last required room of the original JtRH level 1
6: Introducing intense roach hordes, but no queens yet cause it's JtRH level 1, so like that room with the guy who likes to hang out and watch

56: A level about using force arrows for shelter.
57: A level about being "in the army now", with the hardest battles yet, worse than 54

106: A level that is a long and winding road, with all kinds of puzzles you've seen up to this point
107: A level where danger lurks with every step, and requires you to deal with the goblins very carefully
108: A level that looks like an earthquake destroyed it and you meet the Goblin King who kidnaps Halph, but the good news is you will rescue Halph very soon
109: A level introducing mud
110: A level introducing mud mothers
111: A level with "mud mother horde survival" puzzles, like the harder rooms in JtRH level 14

113: A level that looks like it came from prehistoric times, especially with the prehistoric mud everywhere
114: A level with tons of trapdoors and pits everywhere
115: A level about needing to be fearless to win each room, like that one room in JtRH level 14 where you needed to dive in to the dead center of a growing mud pile
116: A level where you need to be very steady with your sword to win
117: A level introducing decoys
118: A level with islands everywhere, which you go back and forth between using tunnels

123: A level about "Save Tokyo", or the hardest monster battles yet using your mastery of decoys to your full advantage

125: A level that is broken everywhere
126: A level that has the most amount of decoys used in total, but it's the last level of section 15

135: A level that re-introduces the guardian that acts like a 'Neather, and also introduces seep
136: A level that is all about smashing broken walls with tons of seep related puzzles
137: A level that is a confusing conundrum of harder seep puzzles than before

140: A level about needing to tread carefully with every step, especially with cleverly placed seep
141: A level that is a "system malfunction" with tons of chaos happening everywhere
142: A level where every room has a secret solution
143: The re-introduction of the Slayer, and an ultimate adventure where you fight goblins, rattlesnakes, and seep, as well as everything you've seen up to section 9 but nothing later than that with the three new elements being the only newer thing, because bombs and decoys can easily kill the Slayer, and tar and mud can be grown to trap the Slayer in a way that makes him easy to kill
144: A level about "being on thin ice", or having the hardest trapdoor puzzles yet, especially using Halph; if you are clever enough you can drop the trapdoors to kill the Slayer using the corner method in rooms with a Slayer and trapdoors, and on top of that when you drop the trapdoors the Slayer usually can't reach you anyway in most trapdoor puzzle rooms, so it makes sense to not use him for this level of section 18
145: A level that has the tighest timers yet, especially needing to dodge the Slayer's wisp or the room will fail
146: A level that requires to start at a specific point to win, but the Slayer harassing you everywhere sure doesn't give you time to think much
147: A level with the hardest hordes yet, made worse by the Slayer
148: A level with madness with every step, and the Slayer takes full advantage of it
149: A level with proving your worth on the hardest trials
150: A level about fighting the Slayer directly mano a mano style, but you can't actually kill him because he's too skilled a swordsman; the good news is it's the last level of him until section 22
151: A level introducing crumbs of stuff everywhere, as well as brains
152: A level with yellow doors that are toggle only, and using this to your advantage to manipulate brained monsters
153: A level that is "not just a job", especially given how much harder the brains make all the monsters, so expect tons of brained hordes
154: A level where each room has a hidden solution, especially using the quirks of the brain that you wouldn't expect it to have normally, like how it treats force arrows or other monsters including itself when pathfinding
155: A level where you have to take both ways to win
156: A level about the three hardest to kill brained serpents, and they're serpents because rattlesnakes can be stabbed on the tail easily, which you know by this point
157: The hardest "don't hit the orb" puzzles, especially now that the monsters are brained
158: A level in the shape of a hook, literally, but no Slayer still
159: A level that is a harder "evil garden", and introduces tar and mud in the same room
160: A level that is seemingly off road, but is still required to win, with tons of tar and mud everywhere
161: A level with the most tricky puzzles yet
162: A level with tons of brains everywhere, amongst the tar and mud spewed all over the place
163: A level about needing to steer your sword carefully to win, especially using mimics in orb boxes like from JtRH level 9
164: A level that is a harder version of level 161
165: A level that is an "ultimate championship", with tons of brained tar, mud and roach hordes everywhere
166: A level that has odd angles to it
167: A level that requires you to explore thoroughly to win
168: A level that is an ultimate shish-kebab, with the most difficult tar and mud combinations yet; the good news is it's the last of this kind of thing you'll see for the rest of the hold
169: A level that is a reaction to how good you are at the game, and introduces bombs everywhere without fuses
170: An ultimate bomb maze level with only a few monsters here and there, but not a lot like in level 169, just mostly bombs everywhere
171: A level that is ice themed, especially using bombs to blow up cracked walls of ice
172: A level that requires you to use force arrows for shelter again, especially because you will be required to actually strike the bombs with your own sword to solve many rooms
173: A level that requires you to backtrack to win each room
174: An ultimate "garden of evil", especially with the bombs everywhere you've come to know and loathe
175: A level that requires you to be precise with every step or perish by bomb, pure and simple
176: A level where you can't turn your sword at all in each room
177: A re-match against the Slayer, using the fact brained monsters were introduced since you last saw him back in level 150
178: A level where you have to clear the tightest/narrowest corridors, especially with the Slayer harassing and blocking you everywhere, like the one secret room in JtRH level 22
179: A level that has a tempting solution in each room but they make the room impossible
180: A level that is an "ultimate cagematch", especially with the brains everywhere and the Slayer harassing you with every step
181: A level that requires you to be very keen to solve each room
182: A level where each room has a secret solution, again but harder with every element and puzzle introduced since the last type of level like this
183: A level that is another "ultimate speedway", with JtRH level 22 elements rather than level 12, so expect it to be much harder
184: A level that is a taste of the last few sections of the hold, and is the last level with the Slayer until level 201
185: A level that is a river of tons of wraithwings, trapdoors and pits everywhere
186: A level that is fire themed
187: A level where almost every tile is a pit, and the actual places you can walk on are very narrow
188: A level that requires you to be very quick with your sword
189: A level that is an ultimate reflex tester, with both your feet and sword, and not just your sword like 188
190: A level that requires you to read the mini-map carefully to win
191: A level that requires you to waste zero turns again
192: A level that requires you to backtrack to win again
193: A level that is "waste zero turns" with the most intense hordes yet
194: A level that is "dodge the intense hordes while reaching an objective", like some rooms in JtRH level 24, but nothing that is unclearable on the firt visit for high score purposes
195: A level where the enemies are friend and foe at the same time
196: An ultimate "doom on you" level, with the hardest puzzles and battles yet, given you are mastered with every element of JtRH except for guards; still no Slayer until level 201
197: A level that requires you to waste absolutely zero turns, whereas other ones had a little legroom, hence why it's called "perfect run"; expect tons of brained monsters everywhere
198: A level that requires intense concentration to solve each puzzle; never expect the solution to jump at you
199: A level that is "Under the Sun", like 196 but much harder and with a sun design in the top left corner
200: A level with the most mind bending puzzles yet, but the good news is it's the last of the lynchpin puzzles of the hold because the last section is combat focused, just like JtRH level 25 was
201: A level that introduces guards and the Slayer harassing you everywhere, and requires you to be quick to your sword especially because of how fast and aggressive the guards are
202: A level that has currents of arrows everywhere
203: A level that is a showcase of everything you've seen up to now, like some rooms of JtRH level 25 that weren't just "guards and Slayers with nothing else interesting"
204: A level that contrasts very simple vs very hard puzzles, like JtRH level 25 did
205: A level that has seemingly no exit, but is unlocked if you are very clever
206: A level that is the ultimate brain tester, but maybe not as hard as 200, but expect tons of guard manipulation puzzles
207: A level that is an "ultimate army", with the hardest guard hordes yet and not just very simple fights like in 201
208: A level that is pure insanity with every step, pure and simple
209: A level that is a re-cap of earlier rooms and levels but much harder, given your mastery of the very last element of JtRH, guards, on top of everything else
210: An ultimate final battle with the hardest guard and Slayer setups yet, but the good news is you finally, finally, destroy the Slayer for good and win the hold if you win this level
Note unlike my other holds, I limit myself to 1 Slayer max to make it more like the actual elements JtRH had.
The first couple of sections will be intentionally very easy, and won't be very hard/challenging until later on in the hold, just like how actual JtRH was.
EDIT 05/08/2024:
Added levels 5 and 6, which will be slightly harder because it's the later half of level 1 of JtRH.
EDIT 05/11/2024:
Added levels 7 and 8, which will be the hardest and require more strategic thinking and not just mindless combat.
EDIT 05/29/2024:
Added levels 9 thru 16, which will be harder than even level 8, the hardest level of section 1, especially given the introduction of roach queens.
