Why I oughtta... That battle was the toughest I've ever faced, not surprising seeing as the creatures concerned had 20,000 hit points between them! I did have a small inkling that it might all be for nothing, but I thought even Zyx wouldn't be that cruel... I wouldn't have minded if I hadn't run all over the dungeon gathering up the stuff I had left behind: Ven egss, blast spores, etc...
Speaking of cruel, the Cruel Pit is one of the cleverest and simplest puzzles I have seen! Nicely done!

Is the dwarven treasure the powergem? I got that along with cerberus and freed the treators prisoner and i did a couple of other quests, but they were all done with an ArchMaster Ninja after exploiting the ninja bug. But soon i will start some games which only focus on one quest at a time for the minimal moves records.
I sent in records for getting a Cerebus and freeing the prisoner of the trator, and i sent in a new Mother of the Egg Chamber yesterday aswell. I finally know how to cast an open door spell, thanks for the clue Gambit!, so i was able to get the crown of kings, i couldnt find another way past the Immortal Venom God. I have also destroyed the council and all thats left to do is make some records for the remaining two main quests.
EXCITEMENT!
Charlatan and Antman have been stealing records off of each other, though after the dust has settled Antman has managed a phenominal time in a key quest, so is now ahead of charlatan
with these two competing for times though, gambit sits smuggly as the leader!
(Note to antman: if you have a saved game after you killed the council, please submit it, as you haven't got an entry there - and if its less than 53000 moves or so, you'd get that quest too : ) )
Aplologies also for the confusion - i forgot cerberus and feiry cerberus were different quests...
So there you go, lots of movement in the quests...i may fall off my chair...or be late for work...
No, late for work, that was it
TAXI!

I couldn't see anything important with the Immortal God -- it's not like it's blocking your way or anything.... unless of course it is, but I may not have known about it if there's a specific object triggered wall somewhere here -- I know Zyx seems to use that a lot.
I have still lots to do in this dungeon. I've been focussing on drawing accurate maps. I haven't freed the prisoner of the traitor or found any cerberus, fiery or otherwise.

Got new records for the Lich, Flask and the Crown of Kings, i hate that dragon, soooo much health. Next up, destroying the pitiful council and surviving the trial. I still have only found the helm of the dragon armour, i dont know what the drawven treasure is, havent found a fiery cerebus, have no idea where to look for circus prize 99, don't know how to go to the future and we can't our precious, they stoles it from us, filthy hobbitses.
Also, in the giggler room, the guy asks you to throw a key, before i figured the puzzle out, saying 'what the hell is thrazoka?' i threw an Onyx key and forgot about it and saved. Now he's sitting on it and no matter how much i pound him, he doesnt die. So i can't retrieve it.
Another, thing which almost trapped me was that for some reason while i was opening up new sections in the guild areas with guild items i had found, whenever i had the power gem in my inventory, the door closed trapping me, so i had to leave it behind and retrieve it later.

Yes, important notice, the power gem is also part of the halk ending...so to stop you doing the halk ending, then freeing the traitor, it shuts you in the guild
The thought being, if you have the gem to free the prisoner, why aren't you using it? do you think its fun being surrounded by blue hazes waiting for freedom? : )
Onyx keys - as CSB really, they are rare and open up bonus areas or interesting parts, but aren't vital

More movement
Antman has stolen more record points (including a sneaky flask and a determined crown of kings entry) so now he is equal to Gambit and Charlatan combined!
And Gambit has broken the three-digit barrier now, with all three main quests completed
Still no fiery cerberus nor quests of legend though...

Just finished making records for the precious and the dwarven treasure, i still havent been bothered to make a record of destroying the council as that would take ages.
My main guy was stuck for awhile untill he fell down about 10 pits and landed in the biggest x,y,z coodinate maze i've ever seen in a dungeon. Its huge, and my guy is lost somewhere in the middle of it all, i might even have to resort to drawing maps! I found my third piece of dragon armour down there though, so only one more to go, and that only leaves me with finding a fiery cerebus and going to the future after that. I still can't open the door to the future machine, but i'm guessing you need four guys in you party...?

@Antman: I've just finished mapping that area you described. It's a huge pain in the butt! And as I had no point of reference from my other maps, I had to do draw it once on sepaarate pages, work out how it fitted in, then add it to my existing maps. But my maps are getting ever closer to completion.
As for your quests: I doff my cap to you, Minimal Moves Master!

Don't speak to soon!
Well, antman sent me another four games, but charlatan sent six!
The dust has cleared, and antman has managed to break the three digit mark and equal Gambit
But the more interesting part is that with charlatan's big push, both antman and he are equal on 24 record points (sorry though gambit, yours have been stolen along the way!)
Whew!

Well, another impressive night in conflux records
Antman has managed to reclaim most of the records charlatan beat in the top board, but charlatan has started submitting serious minimal main quests and so hold two of the three again!
All main quests are doable in around 1000 moves apparently, with antman actually breaking that barrier with an impressive 897 for freeing the traitor!
So antman has more records, but charlatan has now regained the lead in record points..i'm sure that will change by the time i come home again : )

*sigh*, that's it. I give up for the moment. I'm sick of repeatedly trying to get records in a certain amount of moves, i wish it was time based so there's no stopping and starting all the time and more flow. Anyway, i want to finish my main game now that i found all the dragon armour and only need a fiery cerberus, and school is starting in just two days so i have to get ready for that.
So, congratulations Charlatan75!
And congratulations Zyx for a great dungeon!

lol, conflux was released like a month ago
There's plenty of time for setting up other competitions of all varieties, or even just gettign some of the more subtle elements - anyone think they have a full set of recipies for the oven? Anyone think they have a full spell list?
Have fun with the main game and real life for a while, and congratulations on setting the bar so high (or low) so damn fast! : )

Well, i actually found a way back to the rest of the game from the depths, and i have explored everything i can, but i still can't find a fiery cerberus or open the door to the future, can someone give me just a small clue?
Charlatan, have you ever thought competing in the CSB or DM records, with the low amount of moves and the time it takes you to get them in Conflux 2 i'm sure you could find news ways to improve those records aswell.
As for the time records in Conflux 2, i'll how fast i can do some of the easy quests. Then maybe you could have time divided by moves or something.
