    Venture through life-threatening puzzles to be reunited with Fred the Pure Form. Plays with the "Cold Sores" Gametype. This was made by HaIoFighter92 and Mutantkilla.

    El Congelador, which is Spanish for "The Freezer", is our first puzzle map. Despite it being our first, I would consider to be pretty challenging. El Congelador is a Cold Storage puzzle. We noticed that the majority of puzzle maps take place on Foundry, so we thought it would be a good idea for players to solve puzzles in a new environment. It is designed so that one person can complete it, but we made it good enough so having more people doesn't help at all. Enjoy!

    I will post a video walkthrough if a lot of people are having a hard time.

    Here are some pictures and hints/riddles, but let me say that there are a few misleading objects in this map:

    Reunited at last

    Hope you had fun!

    it was a bit challenging because there aren't that many things we can do with cold storage, but it only took us a day and i thought it came out to be pretty good. Let me know how it is after you play it.

    Yeah, HF92 here, the other jerk who helped make the map. Nice to see someone who'll try it out. Recommend anything you want. We still technically have room for another puzzle(curved hallway from spawn room to main). I hope you enjoy it.

    Depends what you call as puzzles. There are around 8-9 challenges. Figure out time is how well you play through it. So I suppose you can make some pretty good speed runs on it.

    I ran through it in about 4 min 50 seconds. but i already knew where everything was. I cant really tell how long it would take someone to do it. We've had to kinda help our beta testers lol. you can set the bar!

    LOLz those were some interesting words. Im the kind of person who likes those fancy maps with the floating and interlocking. But even though you used simple stuff, it looks pretty cool and fun to play on. 4/5 keep forging.

    Very clever name to say the least, yes I speak spanish... un poco espanol...

    It looks like fun, but looks kind of simple, which isn't necessarily good for a puzzle map. I would suggest maybe making it a little more difficult? I think you would draw more people in that way...

    Yeah it's straight forward, but there honestly wasn't much we could do with the Forge Scenery for that map. But the geometry on the map made it very good for a puzzle map.

    ya the problem with cold storage is the lack of a lot of scenery. i barely even have to scroll down the scenery menu and im already looking at grav lifts and soccerballs. Some rooms are pretty easy but others are a little tougher. this is only me and my friends first puzzle map so theres still room for improvement. we can actually still add another room with puzzles as well, we just ran out of ideas.

    I'm trapped in the boxes. I'm at the part where I can walk forward and I could crouch down but it won't allow me to. Until this point it was fun. Now I feel like there's no escaping where I'm at. Yet stupid, cause I know there is.

    You obviously didnt read the rules in Best of Forge. THe map you nominate must have been made before June 30th, and it cannot be your own. Its shameless promotion.

    you have to quite literally abuse the crouch and jump buttons. unless you didnt find the grav lift that you gotta kill. kill the grav lift to proceed. but be careful cuz itll spawn back if you arent quick enough. but you can still kill it if you get stuck again

    My apologies, I didn't know. I just became a member today. I was surprised when i figured out how to get working pictures in my thread because i never really post on other forums besides bungie. you can tell a mod to delete that post in the Best of Forge thread then

    Well I took the screenshots without revealing anything that could help you solve it. Try it out first and then see what you would rate it. Don't judge a book by its cover.
