Great map, really appreciated how much more challenging it was than sock's other AD maps. I liked the shambler+scrag combo ambushes. The final encounter was really excellent because it didn't take place in a confined space so it had vague boundaries making it more dynamic and unpredictable, there's also something in particular that I really liked about it... I think it may be the best final encounter sock has ever done.
I got lost after getting the skull eye key though, I really didn't think about looking down from the hilt. I was looking ahead and jumping to get to the other side of it, because I was naturally expecting an ambush upon picking up the key. I think some other players might have the same experience. There is no portal in AD for this map. Its just a map that uses the AD mod.
It also lacks vore tits so I'm not sure youll like it very much, barnak. Loved it from start to finish. It had everything. Good visuals, fun combat, impossible to find secrets. Sock hits another home run with this map!
First run playthrough, hard skill: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/orl_ad_grendel.rar At the end of the demo is when I start finding the secrets I missed, and in the end I managed to find 9 out of 10. I wasn't able to legitimately find the last altar to destroy the grendel sword but I did see the nice cinematic of it being destroyed. Here are my demos:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KL0hFBPzWm3v8mWmzTtwcRdvOE_sygDP/view?usp=drivesdk I played on Normal but could have played on Hard. I didn't use but did find lightning guns in secrets. Also didn't use the rocket launcher. I was just having too much fun with the tripple boomstick and the nailgun. The reason I found many of the secrets was because I didn't see at first where to find the gold key, so I went exploring. I liked the exploring though, stuff to find everywhere and feel good about it. I really had fun at the end, backed up against the exit teleporter and NOT letting go of the fire button. I finally survived with 20-30 health and no armor. There is no need to go over the things that were pulled of exquisitely as I couldn't do it better. Thank you very much for making this level, I had a blast playing it. I wonder if the nordic runes on the blade read: ”Grendel's Slayer of Deities“, or anything at all. I'll be right back when I find something. Well, the sword in this AD map is also called Caliburnus. But that's a common name:
eventually I settled on the idea of the sword in the rock, Caliburnus That didn't happen for me. Must re-visit.
BTW, great map! :) Didn't find everything but then again who does?!
After completing the map i've managed to find the latest secret and kill the rest of the gangs
