Welcome to Gaia! ::

On the kraken or leviathan thing... I'm not sure, they're both awesome types of monsters. I'd say just go with your gut. Mermaid Suit is a suitable (hah, I kill me!) Relic, but since you're planning on making this a biiiiig one, you might want to put two Relics in it. This is going to be a common practice among many dungeons in the RP. Also, if this one is going to be visited by the party sometime after Lakeside Laboratory (that's what it seems like to me, at this point), you might want to incorporate the Relic from there, the Magnetic Gloves, into the puzzle scheme of the place in some way. You could have more of those magnetic walls and whatnot, which they'll be able to cross with the Iron Boots as well as the Magnetic Gloves, if any of the heroes have them at that point... and since this will be a later-on dungeon, I'd say it's quite possible. Anyway, incorporate the past water-dungeon Relic along with the two in this one, and voila, you have badassery! XD

The second Relic could be the Switch Hook, Hookshot or Clawshot, if they all aren't already in another dungeon. I'll have to read some lists again, but I'm sure one of them will do. The Ice Rod is another possibility.

I imagine I'll be working on Hylia's Keel over the next few days, just to make it insanely awesome and worthwhile. I've only got the first 7 rooms mapped out, but not filled with anything (except climbable cargo)


Edit: Holy crap, I'm already up to Room P, and I haven't even got to the mid boss yet! O.o There's even two sectioned rooms, like in King's Chapel!
Not only that, but I haven't even started on the stern yet, OR placed anything in from the legend.
I HAVE plotted out where you'll find the Clawshots, (since there's no mid-boss for them) but trying to work on the puzzle for it.

I also said there's going to be a lot of back and forth in this dungeon. Right now, I've only gotten to the first "forth".

How's that for a huge dungeon?
From what I know of you so far, Banshee, I take it you'll put this as a "later" dungeon, possibly close to King's Chapel?

Wow, lotsa stuff. Awesome! XD

First, the only thing I have to say about the first post is, about the Clawshots: There can be only one. (Highlander, gwahahahahahahaa!!!) At first, anyway. There will be an upgrade (Double Clawshot), like in TP, and since this is, as you said, going to be a much-later dungeon, that's plausible.

Not exactly sure when the Ice Rod will be found (in which dungeon, I mean), but yeah, it'll definitely be useful in Fire dungeons.

Aaaand.... This dungeon keeps sounding more and more intimidating and badass. XD
You can make it as big and complex as you want to. After all, this is, as they say, your party. ^_^

Okay quick question: how are we going to roleplay something that suddenly appears (like a chest, more specifically) far off or out of sight?
Because one idea I have follows this logic.

Edit: Two words came into mind when thinking of some common fodder enemes you'll face down here: Pirate Shrimp.

You don't have to dim it down to one; I meant, the Relic could definitely be the Double Clawshot, since it'll be a later dungeon and the Clawshot is bound to be found by then.

And yeah, I'll be working on Janus and Vaati cosplays for a long time now, but I'm not sure when or if I'll succeed. XDDD


Love the idea for differing magnet blocks, also. Ought to add more challenge to dungeons.


As for the question about treasure chests and whatnot, well, I'll be playing the dungeon master when characters are in a dungeon (except for dungeons I didn't create or aren't the main creator thereof; that will be that person's job) by posting with a location tag that just reads the name of the dungeon, then posting something such as "After falling down that hole instead of using the ladder, thereby causing severe pain in your legs, you find yourself in an ancient stone temple that's hot as an oven."

Or something like that. Except usually with more detail. And I'll also make DM posts when chests appear.



Wow, I feel your pain, Kal. Some of the dungeons I've been working on are horrendous...I don't even know where to begin. If you know anyone who's not too busy and could lend you some help, go ahead and ask. Meanwhile, Iz and I have been trying to reel some new people in with our recruitment thread in the Charter and Barter forum. It hasn't really worked so far, but we're stubborn old bastards... Except we're not old. XD

WE SHALL HAVE MORE PEOPLE YET! Gwahahahaha!!!

I seem to be good at making some of the later, more interesting dungeons.

Ha, lol.

Working on F2's Placements, going through them how you would if you were playing through it, so it's gonna be long for me, so I've got a long way to go.
