The DWmegawad Club plays: HYMN

Version from Xaser's 2C file.

Wand start, HMP, managed to survive and clear out the opening section on my 3rd attempt. Though I did see a Maulotaur at one point, he now seems to have vanished.

Currently seem to be blocked by blue doors - possibly I'm meant to jump outside? The first time I went out there, I fell in the lava but made it to a teleporter to come inside again.

^ You travel along the ledges outside to another window, same thing that stumped me

He added some green orb-holding statues to help clue you in as to where you should go in the later version.

Cool. I am sure I would have found it had I spent a few more minutes looking, but people were arriving to play Dungeon World, so I just saved and left it for the night :)

Found the maulotaur in one of the side rooms. It came back out to play then, but a while later it got stuck in sector 452 and couldn't move, so I was able to ignore it thereafter.

I entirely missed the elevator down in the lava cavern and eventually had to use Doombuilder to discover how to get the green key. It actually dings as a secret, which I don't think anything on the required path ought to do. I'd suggest that elevator needs to be more obvious: metal textures, some extra light there to make it easier to see, etc. And the sector at the top shouldn't be a secret.

I did find the two switches you have to drop off the exterior ledge to get to. They're very unintuitive, though.

The combat in this level was a lot of fun, but the progression is often obtuse and sucks a lot of the enjoyment out of playing the map. I know some changes have been made from this version. Hopefully they've made it a lot clearer what you're supposed to do.
