Alright, honest comment here.

Just as others have stated, its a bit similar to Herobrine's Mansion. I still love your custom monsters and golden nugget system and also the boss fights but it just doesn't shine in the same way the first I played Herobrine's Mansion. There are several problems I need to point out.

First, the boss fights. In your previous adventure map, someone had stated, "The boss fights were no special, you just repeatly spam clicks". Well it applies here the same way. I like how you try to add uniqueness such as the fight with blazeium. But for Captain Huk, Magma cube fight and especially the final boss(not going to spoil) at the end, its basic button spamming. I soloed the whole adventure map on easy mode and I had only died 4 times, not as much as I did on Herobrine's Mansion.

The altars at the temple under the castle was moderately difficult and I can go on with the flow. The nightmare temple was fine, until you decided to add a wither boss in it. It is rather hardcore for me myself and would end the same if it were 2 players. And quoting from previous comments, there were too much ghast in nightmare temple but I got along with it without deaths. But that's because I've played MC for a good duration. If 2 moderately skilled players played up to that stage, I don't think even 2 players can withstand 12 or more ghast. Heck the repeat screaming can deafen them.

The castle was huge and nice to explore. The effects at the ship battle was amazing and splendidly done, it was extra creative of you to make cannon fire effects. I couldn't do it myself. Throughout the map, I've only seen 1 elite monsters... where are the rest? There were more in Herobrine's Mansion and those monsters make everything a little better. But the most important part you should do better is the boss fight. Especially the boss fights.

Bosses are powerful entities that exist in every game possible. If its all about rapid clicking, it won't do good. How about, you try placing a skeleton on top of an impossible to reach pedestal and use your redstone techniques to move the battlefield. Make each boss have at least 3 skills to make it unique and hardcore. Generate hills, create waves, arrow storm, explosions, I know you can do it. Look at yourself and your maps. I'm amazed at how you made things to amazing. But its just not good enough. My encounter with Herobrine's Mansion has dulled the golden shine of this map. You can do better than this, Hypixel. Keep improving.

You don't need to improve the mobs though. They were already well done. Besides, you can't put skills for mobs. Just scatter them at strategic locations. Maybe skeletons at towers, etc. And make more surprising traps too! That explosion that generate spiders were pure genius. It rendered me off-guard and the spiders almost killed me.

Overally, it was well-done. I'd say 8/10. There were some flaws but keep trying dude.

Great Job on the map!! I am enjoying very thoroughly!!! I also love the recommended texture pack for it! This leads to my question: Would it be possible to complete the texture pack fully? By that I mean that the pumpkins, Brick blocks, gold blocks (and possibly a few others, idk) have little lava/water squares in them. I like the texture, so I am using it in my own worlds and server worlds. If you could let me know if there is a finish for this texture pack that would be great! Thanks, and once again, this adventure map is unbelievably amazing!!!
