Walkthrough

Only use this if you are really stuck. Reading this may take away from the gameplay. All secrets are also present in the following.

Spoiler

Lvl 1 Escape from Longshore

Sewage Works

Grab the coal from the Chest labelled "fuel" you will need it later.
Before you get to the first zombie spawner there is a downflow of water, swim upwards to find a chest with valuables.
The "take a climb" challenge requires you to climb to ladder at the back of the room. The coal is required to power the minecart which will push a chest into the cart delivery. The chest contains one of the torches.
The "take a dive" challenge requires you to search the bottom of the water furthest away from the iron door.
Before you climb the large ladder to the kitchen there is a chest hidden behind.

Gold Bars: 2

Kitchen & Caféteria

The "key" is in one of the furnaces.

Gold Bars: 0

Guard Station

3 Lever locations :
Behind the desk across the glass.
Behind a painting in the large bedroom. In the armory.
Make sure you grab the map from the large bedroom.

Gold Bars: 0

Prisoner's Quarter

To open the yard press the lever located in booth at the back of the room. *WARNING* This releases ALOT of zombies.

Gold Bars: 2

Yard

Search the shed for a shovel. Remove the clay around the slabs to find your way into the Lower Cells

Gold Bars: 0

Lower Cells

Quite straight forward. Run past the dispencers for better chance of dodging a few arrows

Gold Bars: 1

Main Entrance/Cart Track

As you get out the minecart walk back on yourself into the maintenance room. Pull the switch. Head back to minecart and pull the switch in the booth. The doors outside will be open. Turn left as you exit the door and knock down the tree. Take the lever from the chest and head up the guard tower. Place the lever on the lapiz block and switch it on to blow up the gate.

Gold Bars: 2

Lvl 2 The Mystery of Woodvale

Getting there

Look on your map and look to the bottom left for a brown area. Head southwest across some water to find the village. Co ords are X= -320 Y= 73 Z= 296

Gold Bars: 0

Destroyed Village

Head into the largest building and go upstairs. Take the lever from the chest. Head to the tent and take the lever from the single chest, also pick up the iron sword. Go into the house with the burning roof and go through the door under the stairs. Place the levers into the designated slots to open the vault.

Gold Bars: 2

The Vault

Read the signs around the table. To use the portal you need to fix it. Enter the room to the side of the table and flip the switch. Enter the armory and collect the supplies. Then leave the vault.

Gold Bars: 0

Woodvale Mine

Head to the tower in the village to know which way is north. follow the path north west past a burning house to find the mine. Break through the gravel then look to your left for more gravel to break through. You have to jump and grab onto a ladder which is difficult. Make your way to the bottom of the mine and use a minecart to get under the rubble. (You cant walk as the is a 1 block high space). When at the end of the track hop onto the hatches then go left into a dark cave. Turn left again until you find a chest containing a TNT and the obsidian block. Blow the cobble up with the TNT to get back. Follow the tracks to find a ladder that will take you back to the surface.

Gold Bars: 2

Victor's Shack

Head directly south of Woodvale and look for a small island containing a hut. Break through the web and gravel to find a chest containing the obsidian block.

Gold Bars: 1

South-western Camp of The Legion

Loot a chest in the tent of The Legion for a map. Follow the map west to find the Legion camp. Locate a door less hut and search a chest in the ground for a lever to open the locked tent. Inside the chest contains the obsidian block.

Gold Bars: 1

Getting into the Nether

Return to the vault and place the obsidian blocks in place. Head into the armory and obtain a flint and steel. Light up the portal and enter the Nether.

Gold Bars: 0

Lvl 3 Into The Legion

Scout Camp

This chapter is going to be difficult. So be careful. As soon as you are through the portal you should take the items from the chest behind. And when you are ready to leave just hit the lever next to the chest to open the door.

Gold Bars: 1

The Top Layer

Upon Leaving the scout camp you should see a structure on a Perth. Find your way below it and break the gravel to find a ladder. Once inside you should see another structure ahead of you. Head for that. You don't need to enter it but to follow the story you should do. Behind the tower is a bridge. Cross the bridge and when you find the lift climb down the ladder.

Gold Bars: 2

The Bottom Layer

When you make it to the bottom you should decide which way you are headed. You should head to the rail until you've aquired 7 pieces of redstone. Check behind the lift to find a chest. I'd advise you keep anything you wouldnt want to rick losing in there (Redstone). Head to either the Grow room or Pumpkin's hideout.

Gold Bars: 1

The Grow Room

Switch all 3 switches/buttons until the bridge is repaired. Enter the room and break the gravel wall. Grab the redstone from the chest. I advise putting the redstone behind the lift.

Gold Bars: 1

Pumpkin's Hideout

Follow the narrow path breaking the gravel along the way. Be very careful when reaching the piston. Walk through the web and open the chest for the redstone. Be even more careful on your way back as you don't want to lose the redstone.

Gold Bars: 1

The Rail

When you have 7 pieces of redstone head across the to the rail. BE VERY CAREFUL as you really don't want to fall in the lava. Press the button on the bride builder and start your way across as soon as the stepping stones are revealed. You are on a timer so be wary. Once across get on the cart and press the button. Or walk it, it's up to you. Get out of the cart and turn left. Place the redstone in the 7 spaces and pull the lever to open the gate.

Gold Bars: 1

The Hall of The Legion

Don't attempt to jump the gap. Look up in the gate for 2 levers that will shorten the jump. Then run and jump and you should make it. I advise you run for the portal as there are alot of skeletons. Enter the portal.

Gold Bars: 0

Victory

Search the chests for a flint'n'timber. Ignite the TNT. Run. Then enter the obsidian hole. Win.

Gold Bars: 0
Cake: 2 (FTW)

thanks, if you can post back what/if you liked and disliked that would be great thanks

[Spartan2744]

I'm downloading now, i'll edit this with feedback when I finish it.


*EDIT* I found it a little hard when you were supposed to find the levers in the minecart underwater. The one underwater, I couldn't find at all because the water is so dark, I had to TMI it. and the minecart, if the powered minecart was supposed to push it down to the receive place, it didn't It went through the hole and stopped, I had to dig it out and grab the lever myself. And I think there was a little too many zombie spawners in the guard quarters, they came wave after wave and I couldn't get anywhere until I turned it on peaceful. And the wool, I think you should move the wool, or redstone contraption, to somewhere else, just for the fact it's right under the wool.


I hope this helped you some.

Thanks for the feedback. I had a feeling that I needed to change the water area to make it more user friendly. And for the redstone contraption under the wool, what do you mean?

[Heerz]

Fixed a few things that were causing problems in the sewage area.

You know that room right outside the armory? well the floor of that is made out of wool, and someone might jump down there and do some 'hot wiring' to cheat there way out into the inmates quarters

*EDIT* oh and by the way, the chest with the coal should say Fuel, not Feul

Ok, thanks again. I did change some of the feautures in the water area and they are present in 1.1 thanks

Just a suggestion, but somewhere you should make a functional bathroom (toilet) that actually empty out into the sewer, but make it so no one can climb in through it (1 x 1). I have this feature in a custom map i'm working on.

[Epict]

Playing now, will give feedback when I finish.

[littlejth]

Played through in SMP. Very difficult to get past all of those zombies but a very well done map.
