When I first solved this, I was just trying to figure out the destination of each panel, and when I have the last panel hit, a path to the exit just magically appears...

  Finally solved after ~1000 random hill-climbing moves. ;) Thus, flesh beats steel! Take that, Crom!

  By the way, I do think the loading mechanism in this level is really elegant.
 
417 Riddle Of Steel Max (61) Fri 25 Feb 2005 00:31  
  At least I made it out without anyone laughing at me! ;)

  No argument here. For anyone who plans on solving it & hasn't yet (and I realize that is probably not many people), I don't think Crom will be too angry if you map out the panel destinations in the level editor before playing...

  This is a really annoying level!
 
408 Riddle Of Steel Tom 7 (1) Thu 24 Feb 2005 10:02  
  Oh man, I was worrying about this kind of level when I made those colored steel tiles...
 
405 Riddle Of Steel bpotetz (144) Thu 24 Feb 2005 02:39  
  Actually, its sort of a nuisance of a level. But I really wanted to submit a level called "Riddle of Steel".
 
404 Riddle Of Steel bpotetz (144) Thu 24 Feb 2005 02:38  
  When I die, I must go before Crom, and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of steel?"

And if I do not know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me.
