Hidden Sand Created by DimmestBread Hidden Sand Custom Gametype Must be played with the custom gametype called Orange. LL Matt LL is the first to complete it Overview Hidden sand is a puzzle map created on sandbox, it has a twist to it with the fact some things just take skill to complete. This is for one player only. This map features four things, actual puzzles, jump areas, pushing the golf ball, and mongoose areas. The actual puzzles are challenging, but they are not too hard. The golf ball area isn't too hard once you get the hang of pushing the ball. The mongoose area can be tough at first but if you do it right, it will be very easy. The jump area, i'm not gonna lie, is difficult, but not as bad as jump maps i've seen. Gametype The gametype is oddball. you have no starting grenades and you start with a sword. You have 2x overshields and you only need one point to win. Map setup You will spawn in a room and like most puzzles, must figure out how to get to the next. There are a total of three puzzles in the beginning. You then enter a central pub that has three teleporters. The first teleporter is open and the rest are blocked. The first teleporter brings you to the golf ball area. From there, you go to the mongoose area. Teleporter two brings you to another puzzle. Teleporter three brings you to the jump area and that is where the oddball is. Non piss-off feature This map features two checkpoint systems. The first is inbetween the golf ball and mongoose area, the second is in the middle of the jump area. The checkpoint teleporters must be unblocked and they have a ghost blocking them with a fusion coil on top. There is a teleporter at the beginning of the jump area and golf ball area that will take you to them once they are unblocked. Pictures are not in order. The pictures don't show much but there isn't much to show anyway, and I don't want to give them away. So try it out and post back here with your thoughts about it and any problems you have with it.
Alright, as with almost every puzzle I have made, REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD THE GAMETYPE. The map will not work without it. Also, I know some people have been having trouble doing it on their own. The best thing to do would be to invite a friend in and you will be able to skip some of the very difficult parts. Lastly, If anyone finishes, post a video of you doing it and I'll update the OP with your name.
DId you find the frag grenade? If you did, do you know what to do with it or is that why you are stuck? I'll give you a hint first and if you can't do it then I'll tell you more. Ignore the fusion coil. Its a distraction. Using your assault rifle will help solve the puzzle faster, but you can still do it without it, it will just require luck if you don't have it.
I figured. There's a teleporter somewhere, isn't there? I've walked against all the walls, but didn't find anything. [EDIT] I can HEAR the damn teleporter behind that wall. I just can't reach it. >..<
You need a bit of a running start. just throw it up and try to hit the plasma grenade off of the weapon holder. It is. Did you happen to get past it? ignore the fusion coil and use your assualt rifle to find it. I'll give you more hints if you still can't get past it.
Okay, I managed to get through the teleporter. I got the plasma grenade down from the weapon holder, and...I'm stuck again. Can't find any way out of this room.
Ohhhhhh, I did something, just a LITTLE different (lol). BTW, I actually managed to finish it! On the bouncing mongoose, your supposed to go backwards, right? I loved the one where you have to shoot the mongoose and let it fall on you for the suicide! U R GENEUS!!1
Very nice and yes, you are supposed to go backwards. Mind posting a like mini review about the map, and what you think I should add/ take away? Also try out beaten path which is in my sig. you would probably like that.
