| Description | "How hard could it be?" n reassured himself as he entered the final chamber. "There's only one room left in the cave, and the sensor doesn't even detect any guards. How much trouble can they give me without any robots?"
He was about to find out that enemies are not the true test of a ninja's skill, the hard way. This is a very, very hard level. The idea I had at the beginning I decided pretty quick to scrap, though I may try it again later, and did keep a little remnant of it in the lower left part. The shaft going downwards is probably the deadliest shaft I have ever seen, definitely the place where most ninjas playing the level will meet their end. However, going up the left and across the topon the right are also very hard (if I hadn't used pads, the last part would make it nigh-impossible to make a victory demo), and there isn't really any "easy" part. Also, don't trust the gold as a guide, it may try to lead you astray once it has gained your trust. I toned it down in several places, most notably taking out some mines in the lower left, moving things in the shaft, and using jumppads for mines on the right. Be warned, though: You are only allowed to retry that bottom part once, and there are still mines going down. The last bit has infinite tries, but I still only got it twice. This is a map for the elites. Do not be discouraged if you can't do it, and do not rate me down for it being hard--its supposed to be very hard. The first to get a demo in is the ultimate ninja god!!! |

I did it!
I can't believe it. That was crazy.
I got it down until I could do the shaft about 1 time in 5, but then I kept screwing up on the mined bounceblocks.
It's weird, in this demo I just couldn't seem to get up those first trap doors, when every other time they were the easiest bit.

hmmm
I can do all of it, except that shaft. that thing is friggin impossible.
My demo goes untill there. Then I spawned for the second part and did that fairly easily. Did the very last bit on my first try :)
I will TRY to do that shaft and get a full demo to ya but no promises :)

You did it!
But this other one is weird. I don't know if I should be proud or humiliated, but I don't remember ever actually thinking to wallhop on the shaft! Yet I was still able to get down during testing (of course, I did make it, plus there's the little technicality that while testing I moved n's start to the top of the shaft to save time). I seriously got all the way down without stopping, multiple times. I don't imagine that too many people would have the patience to do this with n's start where it is, and a demo is unnecessary, but try going down without hops for yourself if you're willing to test your sanity.
