I get my butt kicked again, but progress is made!

Quote from Stra1ghtupb3ast

I don't understand how to unlock the chests in legendary. It says the code is 455 but I do not get a UI or anything to enter that code, so how do I do it?

Things like this make all my efforts worthwhile.

Ok, say you are right. There is another way to go up in the world which is perfectly legit under all scrutiny.

Pre-trigger the sand bridge to fall. Then harvest the sand blocks and use them to elevate you to the top.

You can pre-trigger the bridge from the spawn side of the lava by making a stairway up to the wooden sign and knocking out a single sand block.

Sure. Here it is. Vechs would probably frown on it. But, TECHNICALLY it's not doing anything wrong.

You've probably tried this but may have not realized the significance. At the initial spawn point, there is a long waterfall. Ride the waterfall to the top.

Now rotate your body in the general direction of the lava pond down below. You will notice a glass ceiling across from you on the great lava ocean. You need to get there. As you know, you are at the highest point. So, you cant do things like dump sand to build a bridge (if you had sand...wink wink). So you have to do the next best thing, try to go under the lava ocean. Start digging out sandstone with your fists downward. I think you need to go about 10 blocks down. Then start digging in the direction of the glass ceiling area. You will tunnel under the lava ocean and end up on the top of a wide and tall tube with trees and the main tunnel which leads you out of that area. If you were to fall all the way to the bottom of that tube, you would be right next to that tree you see across the initial lava pond.

Now, getting down from your escape tunnel to the trees and main tunnel would sure be easier with sand (again...wink, freakin wink)

There are other interesting things about this zone. One of them VERY useful and, again right next to your spawn point.

thats not legit or allowed. u used the SMP spawn for SSP. you technically actually cheated [STAY OUT POIROT] but in a way its legit and very smart, only you broke the rule. vechs, u should make it so u can only go out of the smp water and not in

Quote from Vechs

My favorite method is to go around the side wall, and use the "What do you think you are doing?" sign to just block the lava when it comes down, and continue around the edge. I like the irony of using that specific sign to stop the lava.

lol vechs u should LP ur maps, Map Dev vs. Map

Quote from Poirot

Actually that's a good idea, and it could be easy to make. Just a hole in the roof and the player would drop in a little 4x4x3 water hole.

Herp derp.

I don't know why I didn't do that -- I could easily just remove the top 5 or so water blocks from the SMP pillar, and call it a day.

Oh well. It's not really a big deal how the player gets to intersection 01.

Well , seconded . It IS a good idea and would certainly have stopped me from swimming up the water column to investigate the roof of Legendary's world .
Ninja'd by Vechs . Yes , that would work as well but why leave even a 5 block gap ? A 1 or 2 deep depression and a sign indicating a Jump down point for the SMP players would be good .
Start the Multi-player experience with a leap of faith .

I just found Intersection 5 in Legendary. I didn't believe Vechs when he said that I'd only hear of others who completed the map... Time to get especially crafty...

Wow... I feel like a super dumb-ass right now... :sad.gif: ... But! Point for you Vechs for making me look stupid! :laugh.gif:

You could have even used it as an extra troll.
Make what looks like a 3x3 (or whatever size) pool of water that goes all the way to the ground, but make the water only 1 block thick and 23(?) blocks off the ground with another little one block of water somewhere between the "pool" and the ground.

If they miss the extra 1 block... *SPLAT*

LOL ! And the evil death traps just keep on coming ! < sigh > As if Vechs isn't bad enough .....

Quote from xerothomas

Nah, he's just trying to kill you over and over again with the most ridiculous traps and level designs. What's wrong with that?

...Wait. Scratch that.

Also, Vechs, At the tree at Humble Start...

I see that you've replaced the skeleton spawners with zombie spawners in the newest version? That should make things somewhat easier to get that tree. And I don't complain, as I hate skellies, and had to run away each time one came down falling out of the roof.

What I objected to was what my inquisitive nature uncovered from behind a wall of gravel ! SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS .
EDIT : To poster above . He is working on 8 still . Its ROM hack hard and set in a nether dimension . Start to worry now my friend , start to worry now !

Long post with some spoilers inc but...

AT LAST I have done it. Legendary has been conquered. It took me weeks of holding down shift to place blocks over ledges but I have been successful. My tour of duty saw me killing things every way you could imagine. I've suffocated spiders with sand, punched creepers off cliffs, trapped skeletons and zombies in water until the bubbles stopped. I've pummelled pigmen with my bare hands, harpooned ghasts to a vengeful, arrow filled grave. I've even torn up the very earth on which I stood and bashed it repeatedly against the distorted faces of my foes until there groans of pain are the only thing that give away what they once were. There was seemingly no end to the means I would resort to in order to retrieve every last piece of coloured wool.

But it was not all glory and success. After reaching the black wool and safely escorting it back to the victory monument I was ready to call it quits. I had rushed to the face of evil and had no desire to return to intersection five and finish what I started. I'd been to hell and back and lived. With the most difficult wool in my possession I could claim to have won couldn't I? Alas I was mistaken. The game taunted me. Every time I told myself I had won the little voice from beyond the veil laughed back at me. So I was lured back to finish what had begun so many weeks ago. But I was rested and strengthened. I brushed aside the box and taco like so many zombies before me.

With legendary now a vacant shell, littered with the remains of my victims, I retired to the sunburnt islands, content to relax. My sword was heavy and notched by the bones of skeletons. My helmet battered by the blows of zombies. My boots stained with spider ichors, crushed underfoot. My armour dulled and ash blown from creepers who had come too close.

The suns of those sandy islands offered no respite. Again the call of battle needed me to accept the charges. But after legendary the mindless rabble of the sunburnt islands offered little resistance. Even their nether fortress was smote with ease.

Now I lie dormant, awaiting the next bastion of evil that dares to challenge me.


Now onto a more serious note: Legendary was seriously incredible. I had never thought that minecraft's rather limited combat system could hold for me such room for improvement. I have few words to say against the seventh instalment of super hostile and here they are.

Fluffy bunnies of joy: Yeah it was hard but it wasn't really very interesting especially when you compare it to its closest brother which is probably the nether fortress in sunburn island. That one had a rather interesting layout that I really enjoyed. Nether levels in general are preferable to me because normal enemies require spawners so I don't really need to worry about dark places as much.

And that's it. On a side note which do you guys fear more? An inescapable pit of lava or an inescapable void like you find beneath the bedrock. For me its the void but I don't know why.

Void . Every time . Horrible roasting death ? Pshaw ! Who fears that any more ! The aching , mind gobbling , shrieking void ? Has me trembling like a new born colt whose just realized that the playful kitty before him is actually hungry .

Quote from Poirot

Actually, I was thinking of a 2x2x3 hole not 4x4x3.

Ah ! Sneaky AND vicious : I LIKE IT ! Of course , this IS Vechs we are dealing with - we will be lucky if its 1 x 1 x 3 .

Nice narrative! made me read all the way :biggrin.gif:

Thank you for the maps Vechs, you gave me a reason to start playing again :smile.gif:

Quote from Suaren

Having a ton of Super Hostile maps floating around would probably just confuse the hell out of anyone. ._.'

Wow, that was quick! Thanks guys, I'll keep that in mind.
