[SP] Decode

PreviousPage 3 of 3

SOLVED!!! That was amazing fun!! 8/5 Spoiler was given for code.. where is it? I'm guessing it's in the lvl somewhere? anyone.. anyone.. beulller?

Really good map here.

Very challenging... reaching awfulness some of the required tasks!

Spoiler
for example getting the damn balls into their place in the main room at the end... I never flyed such that amount of time from one side to the other man!!!!
.

Very thought chambers and much fun, though I got stuck (with no possibility of moving) in some areas in chamber n?2 (sooooo narrow)

Spoiler
for example, after getting the redirecting cube (btw, so awful until I finally got onto the white tile on the wall before reaching the top of the black tower) and return back down through the narrow hole on the ground, if you throw the cube first, you will fall onto it then you're stuck, no possible movements
. Anyway, that narrowness is attractive and gives the chamber that special claustrophobic look.

Very well design.

Spoiler
I like the center room with the 3 doors and the idea of getting 3 balls
. My favourite part is the chamber 1.

Thanks for mapping

I'm still unable to make any progress (see my previous note.) Hints/help appreciated.

Many thanks to szieve (I can't send a PM as I'm still new here.) That one hint did the trick. 5 out of 5 for me.

Ive been testing maps here for 2 days straight and this one is the best so far.

okay, I'm confused. So,

Spoiler
I'm in the second room, with all the faith plates over the sludge. I get the companion cube, and ... what? Drop it on the button on the ledge above me? That opens the panel over the far corner, and the little closet space with the button to generate a sphere. But ... then what? I put that sphere in one of the sockets in the previous chamber, take the companion cube back out, go into the little tunnel, block the laser, and see the narrow passage upwards. But I don't see any way to get up there. Did I miss something in the faith-plate room?

Thanks for the help.

Great - GREAT map.

My only issues are with the large middle room with the 4 areas with Faith Plates.

Spoiler
The plates themselves cannot fling you high enough to get you to the top platform to retrieve the sphere. I used the ceiling panel instead and dropped down about 50 times before I made it (finally used a sideways drop). When you do place the cube up there it uncovers a ceiling square which seems to have no purpose as I solved the puzzle without using it. I did not have to and of the faith plates except the first one in the entrance area.

But it was a masterpiece.

Nobody told me to look out for something to remember... :( And without quicksaves this map would be awful. But i think it's not too bad if you use quicksaves

This was much more of a chore than a puzzle. This probably could be solved in a few minutes, once you knew what to do and had practiced the maneuvers many times (OK, just twice for Djinndrache, but I don't have his skills). But figuring it out, and repeating certain steps over and over until you get them right, is just a grind. On the plus side, as many mistakes as I made, I never got stuck (there's an out everywhere, except perhaps in the cube silos).

Sniping at tiny, distant targets through tiny holes is poor puzzle design, IMAO. I believe super-deadly turrets should be reserved for forcing a player to take a different path. The odd white tiles on the wall by the silos had me searching for a pattern in them, that just wasted a lot of time, but oddly, actually did lead me to the key.

So, all the hard work that went into the "Aha!" moment just sucked the fun out of it for me. I hate resorting to quickloads just to save big chunks of time. 3/5 from me.

P.S. If you're going to have multiple spheres rolling around, provide a slight depression or lip to park them. I stored mine in the pit.
