“Undiscovered Technology of the Pharaohs” is a large, difficult map that is packed with secrets and traps and promotes diversity and inclusion by featuring nearly every monster in the book. Seeing as that book features the Alkaline chapter, you’re in for a scary treat.
Most of the secrets are rewarding, in that they lead you to explore whole new areas of the map, and are not too difficult to find once you’ve identified the patterns (although the one where you get to use the Gold Key was tricky).
I played this right after Starslave, which set me in the mood again for more Egypt-themed maps. Both maps are built around the same theme (Egypt / tech) and brilliantly crafted, but in a way this one is nastier (although I played it in Nightmare mode, and I imagine Starslave with that difficulty setting would be far above my skills). I never thought I’d be scared by mere grunts, and yet…
By the way, this map has the craziest and most ambitious selection of Nightmare mode I have ever seen.
I’m extremely frustrated to be missing one kill and one serpent dagger. And five secrets too. Hopefully I can clear this soon and move on to the next map.
Wonderful job zigi!
