[DeathCow]

Episode 1, The Begining.
Your adventure begins on map 12 room 2368 <Ancient Fortress, Jail Cell>. From her you head north and then east.  The eastern exit is level 50 restricted.  You head east one more time and fall into a pit and fight an illusion boss.  This illusion will be either: ancient sand dragon<1034>, fallen angel<1035>, aged earth dragon<1036>, or Dao Lord<1037>.  When the monster is dead you will be teleported back into the room you fell from. Until you reach the hedge maze be on the look out for the angelic hunter<1012> he can regen in anyroom after the pit until you reach the hedge maze<7 rooms away>as well as ancient sand dragon<1034>, fallen angel<1035>, aged earth dragon<1036>or Dao Lord<1037>. From the room above the pit head south twice. Here you fight your first Nahr illusion <1004>. From here you go e, ne, ne, n. By know you should have fought and killed the angelic hunter<1012> and taken the ancient key<1899> that he drops.  If you have not yet walk around until you find him and return to the locked gate your the west. Open the gate and head west when you are ready.  Its worth noting that many so the items that you would collect later in the fortress will be removed from your inventory in this and the following areas by room spells that are active in most rooms of the fortress.  Also once you fight one of the illusion creatures, you will not have to fight that same creature for another hour so it may be worth your time to fall into the pit several times and kill all of the illusions before continuing.

Episode 2, The Hedge Maze.
The Hedge Maze begins on map 17 room 2868. And is riddled with high damage traps. Begin by heading north, north, north, southeast, southeast<all exits are trapped dealing 400 damage>.

When both branches are taken Azrandimon<1030> will be summoned into the room.  Kill him, grab the stone rook key<1902>, and head to the closed gate to the south you past sw of the start position.  All exits are trapped on the way.  This area spawns the  illusion monsters, great green dragon<1038>, giant roc<1039, Darken Beast Lord<1040> and Lord of the Hunt<1041> so be careful when walking through the area, as before you'll only have to fight each illusion once. Using the stone rook key<1902> open the gate.  South is the Majestic Dragon<1013> once he is killed and a few seconds has passed you will be teleported to Map 17 Room 2980 Ancient Fortress with the NPC demon imp<1033>

[Rhinehold]

seems like a bit much.....


thank you for the write up though.


-DR

[schwagg]

From an edtior's perspective:

A well thought-out and executed deathtrap with lots of colorful ideas.

From a mudder's perspective:

Next to useless. Even when this patch came out years ago there weren't very many boards where people used the hard trainer. Now it's a dinosaur that sees little to no action. I guess it's an epeen extender and nothing else really.


I wonder, was DeathCow just bored, or is this a hint for the future that somehow this might be required at some point in his mod?  ;)

[Bitcrunchr]

I kind of want to do it just because it seems so over the top. Did Metro ever cite any reason for having a trainer this hard?

[DeathCow]

Its just suppose to be a challenge.  The alternative is just spend cash.

[Rhinehold]

From a lore perspective the idea is neat.  It doesn't make a lot of sense especially with the break down of which levels you need to go see them.... Example: the time lord only trains on level and the reason he trains that specific level is very ubiquitous.

From a player perspective its a whole lot of unnecesssary work.  I don't mind finding a new trainer every 25 levels, and the trainer for the highest 10 being sort of hard to get to, but, as it stands, this is kind of ridiculous.

my 2 copper anyway...

-DR

[Bitcrunchr]

So what kind of party, realistically, can do this? All I've heard so far are variations of 6 decked warriors and paladins.

Could, for example, a party of

warrior
warrior
paladin
warlock
mage
priest

get it done?

[Gardner Denver]

No because that party would be split up onto different routes as you go through.

[DeathCow]

The parts that require ou to split up are quite easy.  I believe that the warlock, priest and mage, would all go the same route.  It wouldn't be impossible.

[Demonic]

Update for Heaven Episode, the order is wrong here and doesn't work on GMUD out of order...I tried today several times.

W W W "golden pillar" say nightfall
S S S "silver plaque"say H
N N N E E E "bronze statue & starting point" say king of spades
W W W N N N w S S W then W to golden phoenix

MMUD explore has the order required to do it

[Gardner Denver]

I need to know where it went wrong for you.

[Vile]

I tried it awhile ago.. got stuck at 17,2868

[Demonic]

I need to know where it went wrong for you.

It didn't go wrong Gard, it worked fine. The Episode three write up contradicted MME so when I followed the MME it was fine. The walk-through has the order incorrect above was my only point. I was able to get through the entire thing just fine.

** Angelic Hunter is broken, it seems it will only spawn once per day after cleanup and not hourly.

Deathcow says " King of spades" "Nightfall" "H" See below or hard trainer walk through

MME has action (which works)
#1 Nightfall
#2 H
#3 King of spades


Episode 3, Heaven and Hell.

As soon as the phoenix dies hit your macro and get the Golden Rod<1910>. You will be teleported back to the demon imp<1033> in room 2980 map 17. Head east go portal and be teleported to Burning Valley<Map 17, Room 2944>.  As a note for this area everytime you push a boulder you wil first have to pass a strength check at -60, if you fail you will have the spell seared by the flames<1324> cast on you are receive damage. Also this area regens monsters in a similar fashion to the previous areas except that spiked juggernauts<1048> and fanged demons<1051> have no limit to how often they can rgen, Devil Fiend<1049> and Demoness<1050> also regen in this area they are limited to one per hour. Go s e, move boulder, south, e, s, move boulder, e, north, move boulder, north, move boulder, north, move boulder, north, w, s, sw. You'll be at Map 17 room 2976 Burning Valley with NPC demon imp<1052>. He requires 20 black spikes<1912> which have a 5 chances of 10% of dropping from spiked juggernauts<1048>.  Simiply remain still in the room with the Demon Imp until you have collected 20. Speak to the imp and receive a slimey spiked key<1901> in return for 20 black spikes<1912>. Prepare a "get ball^M" macro and use the slimey spiked key on the door to your west. Go wet and kill Demon Lord<1015> quickly grab the black spiked ball<1911> and you will be teleported back to Map 17 Room 2980 Ancient Fortress with the NPC demon imp<1033>.

Go Portal and you will be teleported to Map 17 Room 2982.

[Gardner Denver]

** Angelic Hunter is broken, it seems it will only spawn once per day after cleanup and not hourly.

He is a weird one.  He is both 1 hour AND 10% regen.  We'll have to look more closely at that one but when the textblock fires there is only a 10% chance he will spawn even if the hour is up.  At least that's how I read it.

[Stalkerr]

Oh..muh bad.  Does the way I wrote it work on MMUD?  EH.  And I believe that he'd naturally spawn a bit slower on Gmud than MMUD because we fire room spells at a slower frequency when you're standing.  Just to be clear, the spell that summons him is only associated with about half the rooms in the area. I don't know if you over looked that or not.

This area is so convoluted, I can't imagine trying to finish it without the use of MME/NMR.
