Castle Haunt III Released

A Warriors job is never done.
What is this Daja Vu?

It seems every halloween, it's the same old thing, No rest for the weary.
Who cares that it's in a Haunted Castle, He's not afraid of spooks.

Zelda will just have to understand, A rescue is in order, He has to go.
Well... no matter, he has it to do, might as well get to it.

Built in the 2.11b10b, the quest, sound files, and a copy of the 2.11b10b for those who don't already have it are all HERE (EDIT: See final post as to why this link is temporarily removed.)

Beta tested by Elise

Ooh, I want to play this! But I'd rather wait until I play Castle Haunts I and II (And it looks creepy anyways- I don't like creepy things. O_o ) before I play this.

Edit by Sharon Daniel: There's no need to quote Freedom's entire post.

Way to go Freedom!! I can't wait to give this a try.

I couldn't get it working in b10 but it works fine in b12. I've already found the quite a few things and even bought a shield.
Another great quest that everyone will be playing this weekend for sure.

I don't know, it was built in the 2.11b10b, so if you use a later beta release you do so at your own risk, it may work, it may not.
You might get all the way to the end and have to start over.
I did open it in the b14 and noticed that FFC colors were all messed up.

I put a copy of 2.11b10b on my site, I would suggest using it, but that's up to you all.

I've seen how well you did with Castle Haunt 2, and from what I've seen, you've REALLY outdone yourself with this one! I'm in Chamber 1, right now, and the game is really great with all the secrets in it! I really liked how you kept the Fairy w/ Boots and Hotel California music! This is probably one of the best, if not THE best series in Zelda Classic!

[ms_zelda_lady]

Hey Animus where's level 1? I've come across level 2 but not level 1.

From the front door, go as far right as you can, then go up one screen. There will be a fake door. Walk north through the left skull. You should be able to find Chamber 1 the rest of the way.

[Rocksfan13]

Very nicely made I agree. Already in Chamber 2. Nice work Freedom.

[Animus01]

In Chamber 2, I used the hookshot repeatedly on one of the lanterns near the entrance and ended up reaching one of the doors on the side, from there. Is that supposed to happen?

UPDATE: No, I don't think it was meant to happen. I decided to explore the dark room with the four unlit torches a bit further, and it turns out may need the Red Lantern to access the area on the right, which I ended up glitching to.

Truly great quest, same style as the previous two, just much better. It's hard, too, like the other two. A real maze.

So...
I explored the graveyard which is near Chamber1 and the one directly north from the entrance. I also got a lamp from west and got a magic upgrade from Chamber1. Am I done with Chamber1 now? There is a room with shooting lava and keeses, but I don't know what to do there.

I also bought a skulltula, some kind of arrow and something that looked like a big blue shield, but it isn't (Link won't wear it and it's among the inventory tool items). I also got a mushroom and gave to the sWitch.

What next? I located Chamber2 and... 8...

WHOA! Freedom! I did not know you had finished building Castle Haunt III!!! Those snapshots look so wicked and awesome!!!
But since I do not have beta 10, I will wait until ZC 2.5 is released before I download your quest.

I'm playing it in Beta 13 and it works fine. Try that one. It's still on AGN I believe.

Uh... rocksfan? The only reason I said that is because I have beta 14, which is the most unstable and buggy beta, and I am not using that crappy version to play Castle Haunt III because of the fatal item bugs.
