Multi-level dungeons. Interact with dozens of custom objects, solve puzzles, solve traps, hunt for treasure, find enemies, fight enemies and seek guidance.

Overview

This mod combines 7 dungeons in a new world space. They are complex and interconnected in many ways. Having said that, it's possible to beat the whole thing in under an hour. It can also be defeated with a level 1 character, but I recommend at least level 10 to do this dungeon. I also strongly encourage you to never stop and always move forward. Every time you think there's no way out, you simply can't see it. Each level has several entrances and exits. I highly recommend moving forward and never looking back. There is always a way.



How to get started

The courier will bring you a letter to start the mission. You can then try to find the location on your own or use the map marker to fast travel.

idea

The general idea was born out of being influenced by the "Choose Your Own Adventure" games and books when I was a kid. The idea then evolved during the DnD movement, where I developed a mega dungeon for my friends. As it happens, they bypassed most of the stuff and I never used it again. So I started slowly making this mod. Even though The Elder Scrolls games are very much like dungeon-crawling sandboxes, achieving complex puzzles and enemy encounters is incredibly difficult with the tools we have. Because of these limitations and lack of skills\experience, I've had to cut back on a lot of the things I thought of. But I still hope to achieve all of this eventually. I had to learn the script from scratch for this, so it was quite an experience. Hope you will like it!

How to find the island: You need to travel to Solstheim and then to the northeastern coast. Near the village of Skaal you will find a place called Frossel. Nearby is a ransacked bandit camp. One of the boats will take you to the island.

The first level is a maze with multiple exits (7). It also has many traps and objects to interact with enemies. Four of them result in lower levels of the maze. Others eventually lead outside, to the frozen valley. The lower maze is not as complex as the main maze, but the encounters are more difficult and the traps more dangerous. Assuming you don't get stuck along the way, you'll eventually head to the depths, where you'll find valuables, more traps, and enemies. From there, you'll be able to return to the lower labyrinth, head to the surface, cross valleys, or emerge from the frozen passages in the mountains. If you reach the valley, you can also pass through the frozen passage. Once there, you'll cross the bridge into the upper level of the maze.

The current layout consists of 7 interior layouts: Labyrinth Level - Main/Lower/Upper - Depth - Ice Channel - Tower - Dome. Worldspace currently has: Bay Area, Valley, Plato, Bridges, Cemetery. Additionally, there are several "hidden" areas - 2 Pocket Realms: Apocrypha and Soul Cairn, the area inside the Soul Stone, the Unreal Dimension.

suggestion:

Depending on your settings, it may be too dark in some places. Therefore, you will benefit from a longer burning torch/lantern/light spell.

This mod is designed with a single player adventure in mind. The tunnels are narrow and some places can only be accessed by jumping/swimming. Therefore, I do not recommend using followers for this module.
