Hey guys, this is my first dungeon, and it's still being worked on. There are a lot of (what I think are) really cool and unique puzzles for you to solve. There's a lot more to come, but right now it will take the best puzzle solver about 30 minutes to complete this dungeon.

That said, I don't know anyone who could play it or playtest it for me, which is why I'm releasing it now. I'd really like feedback on if the puzzles were too hard or too easy, since that's something really only other people could tell me. For the challenging puzzles, I tried my best to provide tips and hints in notes scattered throughout the dungeon. Also, please let me know if you encounter a bug or glitch or any sort, and I'll fix it up asap.

Thanks for trying my map! I try to work on it daily.

LATEST VERSION: 0.5

The latest versions can be found on the Steam Workshop and in the Nexus. Please be sure to update your Steam Workshop version manually by going into custom dungeons, clicking "Under Nemistide", scrolling down through the stupidly long description, then clicking "Download."

DESCRIPTION:

You live in the large city of Nemistide. It's an ancient city whose history is lost to even the oldest of its citizens.

When rumors came to your ear of a sprawling labyrinth underneath the city, you began to dream of the wealth that lay below your feet.

With the magistrate nearly breaking down your door for lack of payments on your small residence, you decided to gather up a few friends and venture down into the depths. The way to the labyrinth was supposedly through the sewers somewhere.

During your descent, you spot a small gap between bricks in a never-ventured path in the sewers. Prying the bricks apart, you discover a hidden path. Strangely, there is evidence that other people may have been here. You cautiously step forward, but before you could succumb to your fear, a gate slams shut behind you.

Welcome to the labyrinth.

--------

To-do:
- Complete the dungeon.
- Implement complete lighting
- Add decorations so that the dungeon doesn't seem so bland
- Finish overarching storyline.

--------

This mod is suited for parties of any level.

--------

hmm, i think you need to give some hints to the puzzles, or at least something showing that there is a puzzle, other than pressure plate covering the floor.

Thanks for the feedback! Are you talking about the big warehouse room with the Zarchton enemies? I did put a note with a hint inside one of the smuggler rooms filled with barrels and pottery (off to the left when you enter), but maybe I can move it to a more obvious spot.

Hi, thanks for trying my dungeon! You're on the right track.

Here's a hint:
SpoilerShow
If you've gotten that far, you've probably found the note that helped you solve the riddle with the four pressure plates and the switches on the wall.

In that same note, there's a hint for that puzzle as well:

The line of numbers at the top refers to the values of each lever when they're flipped upwards.
The line of numbers in the middle refers to the values of each lever when they're flipped down.
The bottom line refers to each answer you need to submit, in order.

If you read the sign on the wall above the levers, it tells you which operation you need to perform, so just flip the levers to the values that, when performing the operation the sign tells you, it equals the answer in the bottom row of numbers.
If you'd like the answer to the first part of that riddle to get you started:
SpoilerShow
The sign tells you you need to add. So which numbers add up to 55 (the first answer required)?

2, 20, 23, 9, and 1. So leave the first two levers pointed upwards, and the last three levers pointed downward. Then hit the button.
Hope that helps!

Ok thank you. You confirmed what I thought.
But when you do a puzzle like this, check that there is not a multiple choice.
Because for the first issue you can also do 7,20,23,4,1 and it does not work .

This is exactly why I released the mod. I knew there'd be stuff I didn't catch!

I added 7,20,23,4,1 as a correct answer. Thanks.

Also, I'm trying to figure out the game save issue. I know what's causing it, I just don't know why yet. I'll figure it out, tho.
