Hidden Duality-Xtreme released!

[DarkFlameWolf]

http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/planetdescent/darkwolf/HDXtreme.zip
This requires beta 183 player to play. Consider this as a 'second quest' to the original Hidden Duality where the only changes are these:
- There are 8 more Heart containers to obtain, found in 8 specific Secret Grottos. So try and find as many grottos as possible, you may come across another heart!
- You can now achieve up to 24 hearts maximum.
- You start off with the wooden arrow as part of your init data.
- You can now buy the silver arrow in all shops that once sold wooden ones.
- You can now find the fire arrow in the Ice Palace.
- You can only find and buy the red mail for 500 rupees in the shop near the tree grove.
- You can acquire the gold pendant (ring) in Brickwall Depths.
- The enemies are insanely harder and expect to fight crackos, death knights and more on a regular basis.

Do NOT complain about this quest being too hard, I ALREADY KNOW THAT! This is only meant for those gung-ho Zelda hardcore fans who want nothing more than a hard-ass quest challenge. The aim of this quest (although beatable, I tested it myself) is to kill you many, MANY times. If you ever manage to beat this 'version' of HD, then consider yourself a elite Zelda Classic player! Whoever is the first 3 people to show me the ending screen of this quest with the String text of 'holy shiznit' (and what comes after it) displayed to me, has the option of being exclusive testers for my next quest. :) I know it isn't much, but hey, I had to have some sort of prize. Enjoy everyone! :D

KICKASS!!!!!!!!! Time to play...if my bitchnazt computer will cooperate...

[DarkFlameWolf]

I made a goof. The dude in level 8 who tells you where to find the Silver Arrow in Xtreme. My bad, what he MEANT to say is, where to find the FIRE ARROW. Forgot to edit that string. Oh well, minor goof, no big deal.

[System Error]

Yeah, doesn't really matter to me. It plays fine, but quests like DoY don't work. Probably it's bitching about that because that quest is over 2 Megs. 1989 KB for HDExtreme. That's damn close to 2 Megs. >_< As for the quest, I like those Keese Tribbles. Now, they give out easy Magic, no having to leave level 2 to stock up on Magic again and again! I also found the first new heart container. I may consider buying that Magic Shield for 250 or so rupees at that shop. It's a one-hell-of-a-rip-off, but it's worth it.

Wow. Hidden Duality, in Original and now in new S&M flavor.

Thanks DFW for a new challange.:)

[DarkFlameWolf]

No problem Lily, I'm still in the process of getting 0 deaths on this quest version now too! I'm on level 5 and struggling to NOT die. OMG!!!! The quest IS beatable, but I'm not sure if its beatable without any deaths....we shall see...so far, level 5 with no deaths is pretty damn good, don't you think? :D

[TheGeepster]

I didn't even make it that far in the non-masochistic version without dying.

ADDITION: After 11 deaths, I finally decided to earn and pony up 250 rupees so I could get the boomerang. (The first dungeon item you can get.) All I can say right now is, "DUDE!"

And I can't wait for bragging rights after this...
