NOTE: Make sure to play this in 1.90, as there are compatibility issues with other versions of ZC which make the quest unbeatable. 2.53 will most likely work as well, but I have not tested it.

Another really good underrated and underplayed quest in the PureZC database. The previous reviewers are definitely not kidding, this quest isn't messing around. Be prepared for one heck of a challenge if you decide to play this.

This quest has some really awesome and really challenging dungeons, and the third dungeon in particular is really nasty. The overworld itself is also a giant puzzle, so no matter where you are you're gonna be using your brain muscles. I'd say my only complaint design wise is that overworld backtracking gets quite tiresome after a while, as you'll be doing it a LOT.

Unfortunately, while a lot of this quest is well designed and a blast to play, there are a lot of issues in the later half of the quest. There are a few instances where using an item too early or a key on the wrong locked door can get you permanently stuck if you save after using them. There are also a large number of broken continue warps in dungeons and in the overworld that force you to do a reset, meaning you'll have to trek all the way back through the mazy overworld to where you left off. It can be tedious having to do this over and over again, and thus my overall enjoyment went down for what is for most part an excellent quest.

If difficult quests aren't your cup of tea, feel free to give this one a pass, but if you want something tough this should be right up your alley. Just be wary of the issues in the later half. 7/10

This quest is brutally hard. The maze in the beginning of the game is overdone, and the first dungeon is WAY too hard. Enemies always return, everywhere. It's not a bad quest, it's just too hard for my liking. I would rate it a two, but it kept me playing for awhile.

Damn...this is tough. However, too much effort was put into this to deserve such a low rating. If you don't have the time and level of intelligence to beat this, that's your problem. Don't go and rate it poorly just because it's too hard for you. Overall, this quest is pretty good, but frustrating.

This is a very challenging and interesting quest.
If you like tough ones, give it a go!

Not what I had in mind in all honesty. Those who lack patience when it comes to puzzles and always get lost, will really struggle for weeks with this quest. Too challenging for a beginner.
