The Halls of Colossus – a Travelogue

Floor 1 – Catacomb Abyss? Indeed, a massive key-hunt within a monster-infested maze brought back some flashbacks about this fine Catacomb 3D spin-off. At least I had an automap to help me check areas systematically. So, in the end I collected the impressive stockpile of 7 keys. Luckily, the monster population wasn’t very nasty and I didn’t die.

Floor 2 – Path of the Titans. Now that’s more like it! This is exactly what I imagined from a dungeon with “Colossus” in its name. Huge, cavernous and with columns... the rats were an unpleasant surprise, though. I numbered the doors to help my key hunting efforts. I liked the overall concept of a hub with all these doors.

Riddle 1 – Nerd pride! I was a little confused at first, but then I remembered that little fountain I had stumbled upon while keyhunting. And luckily, I am good at remembering all sorts of seemingly useless information. It’s a nerd trait, I suppose... I was happy to solve this riddle, but what came next was

Riddle 2 – OH GOD WHY?!? – Mathematical riddle. The thing I hate the most! Can’t remember how long it took, but at first I tried to solve it as an equation. Didn’t work. So I tried to solve it in steps. Turned into a mess. So I decided to simply try all the numbers I had produced within my mess. And one of them turned out to be the correct answer. I still have no idea how exactly to reach the solution properly. I am tempted to find a mathematician at the university and give him this riddle.

Floor 3 – Wonderland – The Homunculus is a new thing to me, so I panicked a little. Then I simply did what I do best – killed them quickly, before they could shoot me. I admired the floating stones for a moment, then collected my staff piece. Four out of eight – I am 50% done. I was happy, but old Jagar wasn’t happy. He sent me a very mean message. He’s a bad man!

The Aftermath – After licking my wounds and repairing my stuff (didn’t break anything this time), I packed my gear and departed for my next destination, which turned out to be a lovely island. With elves. Now I am looking for some magical tower (I like magical towers), but first I’ll have to visit some temple again. Mad god. Judging by this name, I expect something weird and nasty. Oh boy!

Soon...
