Summary

Revelation, although it is the sequel to Absolution, is designed in a completely new way, with four separate parts.

You can complete the four parts in any order you like.

This map is designed not to be frustrating, tedious or repetetive. I have tried to make the puzzles as varied, fun and interesting as possible, so there is sure to be something for everyone :).

Objective

The objective is to reach the oddball on your own. You do this by destroying the grav lifts at the end of each of the levels. Once you have destroyed all four, you can reach the oddball from the hub.

This works because in the hub there is a corridor, at the end of which is the oddball, but there are four damaged columns blocking this corridor, and these are held up by the four grav lifts. Once you destroy all four grav lifts, these damaged columns no longer block the way, and you can reach the oddball. This allows you to do the four levels in any order you want :).

Features

• An original system, that allows you to complete the map in any order you like.
  _
• A way to commit suicide/ return to the hub from any point in the map, so you will never get stuck if you want to try a different level.
  _
• Four levels of varying difficulty...
  - Red level (the easiest level)
  - Blue level (the hardest level)
  - Crypt level (takes place mostly in the crypt)
  - Sky level (takes place mostly in the sky bubble.
  _
• 7 hidden plasma pistols, and 1 hidden plasma rifle. (The plasma pistols are quite easy to get, the plasma rifle is very very hard to get).
  _
• Smooth forging and awesome aesthetics.
  _
• No ghost jumps, turret clips or very hard tricks. This is a puzzle map not a jump map :).
  _
• No hidden objects, this map is about figuring out what you have to do with the objects you have, not about finding some random hidden weapon or vehicle.

Notes

• The gametype is REQUIRED!
  _
• I have not designed this map to be rediculously hard.
  _
• This map is designed for one person, but it can still be fun for multiple people, although having more than one person will make some challenges easier to complete.
  _
• There are no decoys or red herrings, everything is useful for something.
  _
• There are death teleporters that are used to return to the hub if you get stuck. These are usually only just sticking out of the wall, so you know they're there and so it's hard to enter them by accident.
  _
• This my favourite one of all my maps :D. It's also my longest.

Final Comment

This may well be my last solo puzzle map on halo 3, depending on whether i think up enough new ideas, and have enough time, but i will definitely forge group projects.

Talking of group projects, the paradox forgers' latest map Paradox Origins should hopefully come out soon, and it features some insane puzzles and rediculous aesthetics. It is definitely one to look forward to.

If anybody beats this map, finds the plasma pistols and plasma rifle, or finds any breaks. Please let me know. Thanks :D

Aftershock, this map is genuis. Hopefully I don't find any breaks when I give it another playtest today though, or you may have to do a v2. I really like the unique layout of this map, and the aesthetics are some of the best I've seen yet. It's just too bad this is is being released around the same time as Mind Crypt, it looks like we're going to be in competition with eachother :)
A solid 5/5 from me though

It is confusing, I'm trying to get the blok out of the way in the second part o the red room. However, it seems like an awesome map with very great puzzles so far and very good looking, I'll give a 10/5

[Death YoYo]

Just downloaded and played. Didnt finish it though. In fact, the aesthetics are so good I almost stopped halfway through just to stare at something epic that was created. This map has good enough aesthetics, you dont even need to play it to like it. Even better though, its entertaining enough that you must finish it. This is definately your best puzzle map so far. Cant wait for the special paradox map you mentioned...

[dontknowme42]

i beat it woot crypt part took me the longest thought all the other parts were easy good job again mr you

[T3CHH]

Aftershock, I love this map!! Haven't quite beaten it yet but I will, thanks for all the help you gave me earlier to :-D Wish you the best of luck with this map!!!
5/5

[Aftershock 10]

Thanks guys :D. If anyone needs any help then just say where you are stuck, and i might be able to give you a hint :), but try looking at the item list first, it can be very helpful.

Another note... it's not meant to be the hardest puzzle in the world, its meant to be changelling enough to be rewarding when you complete a challenge, but not so challenging that you'll be stuck in the same room forever. That is also why you can complete it any order, so if you get stuck, just kill yourself and try a different part of the map.

I'd also like to know how many people have completed it/ found some plasma pistols/ found all plasma pistols + rifle.

Thanks :)

100/5... lol

Awesome map Aftershock, i really liked some of the aesthetics in it, and some of the puzzle were really good, except the one with the pallet and the kill ball, didnt really like that one much. Looking at the hint would probably have helped a lot tho lol.

I just gotta do the blue section now. 5/5.

[Reincarnation]

WOW! This looks very very challenging, even for someone who knows puzzles very well. I don't even know where to start on any of those puzzles, especially the sky level ones. I'm defiantly going to try this and watch myself and friends FAIL at completing it. Great Job Aftershock 10, this is a definite map for every puzzle lover. Keep it up all Paradox Forgers, you guys make AMAZING puzzles. - 10/10
