Description

This quest is a quest, of course. It's a plain and simple 9 level classic tileset quest that has stood the test of time. ~~(By which I mean I've been making this thing before build 1000, definitely. Maybe even further back. 800?)~~ (By which I mean it's 6 years old and I'm still updating it.) It was designed to bear resemblance to the design of 1st quest; that being an open ended world and not much holding you back from doing levels out of order. (Make no mistake though, unless you really try, you aren't breaking sequence.)

This quest isn't meant for beginners or inexperienced players. It expects a level of skill from you, and as the quest goes on, it will only get harder. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Last Updated 1/27/2018. Read the readme for more info.

Story

Stories are for chumps.

No really. There is no story.

Tips & Cheats

There's really no need for tips here. All the tips that I'd like you to know of are going to be in the quest you're playing, so just look around there.

Actually, there is one I want to make sure you know. Press F6 to end the game and continue without suffering a death. Do this a lot. This quest demands it.

Oh, and do not ask me for cheats. I'm not letting people cheat through this quest.

The tips are in the game. Also, you start with no shield and you should press F6 often.

Try not to cheat in this quest. It's not that hard.

Credits

Myself built this from the ground up. 4matsy, Cobra1, and maybe a couple others I can't remember, playtested this quest before 1.0 was released. Everyone in the first thread for this quest helped play it and squashed any lingering bugs that were still in the game.

All of the music included in this quest is hosted by vgmusic. (With the exception of one track, which is from the jukebox of the game it's from.) This is all (sort of haphazardly) sourced in the readme file, so give that a look for more details.

Fantastic quest, loved the difficulty aspect and how you don't want to make it for "all players." Only gripe (all can be seen in my LP) is the red ring puzzle, perhaps adding one word for the hint for it will help a lot. Definitely recommend to others that want a challenge!

Lots to like in the beginning, but ultimately too many frustrating puzzles for me in level 9. Never found the red ring. Three stars.

It was a bit bland for my liking. You made a solid classic quest, nothing less, but nothing more either. It doesn't do too much to stand out or be brave compared to the other quests out there. I'll give it a 3.

low end of 4. It's good, but i feel like it was somewhat short in a way.

This quest is ridiculously hard. Too many enemies in the overworld makes it basically impossible to play with enjoyment.

Playing through the quest, great fun and challenge so far. But, I was exploring the overworld and came across this: http://i.gyazo.com/1...49bc8665b93.png

Are... Are you alright there buddy?
