Just so you know, a "good quest" is entirely possible with classic graphics, and using absolutly no tricks like that, don't get caught up with loading your quest down with them...

It's mostly for show. The boss flag basically tells the screen that there' a boss there. Any enemy can be a boss. If you kill an enemy on one screen with a boss flag, the other screens on the same d-map with the boss flag will be killed too when you enter. Also, when the boss flag is triggered, all boss sound effects cease to sound.

ok,but how do you create a key block?

I suppose you could make the enemy in the room a left-right trap, redo it (when new enemy tiles are 100% in, it'll help) to look like a block. Place it between two solid objects so it can't go anywhere. Turn on the boss flag. Make it so when you kill another enemy, you get a misc. item that looks like a key. Have that enemy's room have boss flags turned on.

No, ge the key block graphic, put a secret flag on it and set the boss flag. Now place a trigger enemy(you need the new betas for this) and then go to the screen with the key. Make the item "kill all enemies" a key and place that in the room with a trigger enemy and set the boss flag. Get the key, the key block opens up(don't forget to set the enemies-secret flag on the first screen).
