    Once again, having taken to the field, I, Earl Greyhot, bring you a first hand account of my extensive travels. This journey has brought me to the site of the Colossus of Boreas. A sleepy fog has taken hold of the mountainside and it begins to rain as I make my way through the many trials necessary to reach the giant statue itself.

    I came across strange architecture and flora around every corner...

    Some curious symbols have been chiseled into many of the walls.

    Today I caught a glimpse of the Colossus itself!

    I made camp by the edge of the valley and prepared myself for the trials to come tomorrow...

    I will continue to document my progress up to the statue.


    Thanks for following our progress, this map is an un-clone, hopefully going live in R43!

    *grows suspicious whether Mr. Greyhot is actually a representative from University of Britannia or just another murderous looter in clever disguise*

    Looks like it's shaping up to be another excellent scene.

    That is a very positive sign. :)

    I know beggars can't be choosers, but I hope I don't have to wait until Halloween to get some of those. I have a very specific need.

    It really looks fantastic. The stonework and all has a unique look to it. I can't wait to see it. Thanks for all your hard work. :)

    I think he meant would there be pockets of 6-8 skull mobs, like in some other high-level scenes.

    Yes, though as this is the Colossus of 'Truth', the challenges will come mostly from puzzles and riddles. The next map I start on, when this is complete, is the Colossus of 'Courage'. You can expect that one to be a challenging brawl from start to finish =)
