This is a thread for a mission released for the NewDark 64 Cubed contest.
This title of the mission is: Zealot's Hollow.
The author wishes to remain anonymous (for now).
The author wanted to share the following information regarding this mission:
This mission can be accomplished without the new mantling, but people can save themselves some potential frustration just by turning it on. There are three separate difficulties as well. Easy is quite a bit easier than expert. It was also built in NewDark 1.21.
Enjoy, and feel free to comment, discuss, or seek answers/help in this thread.
Edit: the author PMed me to ask if I could share the following additional info:
"Warn people that expert is maybe overly difficult in places. Certain enemies are a real nuisance to evade."
Update (June 4th, 2013): Xorak has updated this mission to version 1.1, get it (

Holey-moley, guacamole....talk about a scarey FM. Impossible climbs without rope arrows, but I somehow got almost to the top.. before I fell. Quick-save champion.
Playing on expert.
1. Found the special key (forgot the name) in a tiny chest but how do I get away from that ghost?
2. Found the cell where the key is to be used, but can't get past that 'thing' in a black negligee.
This is the most hodge-podge, dilapidated, squalid, small spaces FM I have played, and it really tests your skills. Great use of space and effects.
A Winner!

1. These are harder than they need to be, but try and get the ghost into the smaller of the two rooms, and then try and run around or avoid him as you shoot the rope arrow up. There are some rope arrows beside the blue chest in the room next door. Luckily he shoots a spell at you, so you have a bit of time as attempts to try and cast his spell.
2. You have to be very careful and shoot the candles out with the water arrow. Or try running around the little curtained area with the half-wall in the middle, he doesn't follow so easily around there, giving you time to run into the shrine and lock the door.

Playing on Expert and pretty much stuck.
I would say I made guite good progress (more then 2900 loot and 7 secrets), but for my life I can not find a rope arrow.
And what ghost are you talking about? Haven't seen one yet, although I climbed trough most areas I could possbily get to withouth any ropes. :confused:
I must be missing something obvious.

If you get into the area behind the closed gate in the main alley, there's a little warehouse just behind the gate. Go through the window and it should lead you into places you mayn't of been yet. You should be able to climb up all those roofs in that corner of the map.

left "cell 6" in stand by and decided to explore this mission, so far so lovely, the ambient music is very beautifull and hypnotising, excellent choice!!!:thumb:

I'm stuck. I can not find the third corpse. I found the first corpse in the north, in the sarcophagus. I found the second corpse in the south, above, behind bars. Where the third corpse? All other goals are fulfilled.
