New page

This is one of two new possible maps for the final level of [[Sokoban]] in [[UnNetHack]]. It has 15 boulders and holes.

Behind the holes is a treasure zoo, beyond which is a set of closets containing Sokoban prizes, only one of which can be picked up: a [[bag of holding]], a [[cloak]] (of [[cloak of magic resistance|magic resistance]] or [[cloak of displacement|displacement]]) and an [[amulet]] (of [[amulet of reflection|reflection]], [[amulet of life saving|life saving]] or [[amulet of ESP|ESP]]).

== Strategy ==

The following solution may not be very fast or organized. Improvements welcome. Like all Sokoban levels it can be solved without making any boulders 'stick'.

All boulders are replaced by letters so they can be referred to. Moving the boulders is shortened to '''r''' for right, '''l''' for left, '''u''' for up, '''d''' for down. An asterisk is used to denote the last move filled a pit (and thus removed the boulder from the game). So "'''N''' ddrr*" means move boulder '''N''' two times down and two times to the right into a pit.

First, make your way to the holes and clear some space to push in the first boulder:

--------- '''A''' d
|..^^^^.| '''O''' l
------- |..----+-- '''L''' u
|@....-------^|.....| '''N''' urrr rrrr u*
-----.A......|^|.....|

--.---...|.|.|^|...|-|
|..J..----.|.|^#...+.|
|....K....L....|------
----M..N|.O....|
|....|..-----
---------

Shift the boulders at the lower left to solve a few more boulders:

--------- '''K''' l
|..^^^^.| '''J''' l
------- |..----+-- '''K''' rrrr rrrr rruu*
|>....-------^|.....| '''O''' ulll rrrr rrrr uuu*
-----........|^|.....| '''M''' urrr rrrr rrru uuuu*
|...|-A...--.|^|.....|

--.---...|.|.|^|...|-|
|..J..----L|.|.#...+.|
|....K........@|------
----M...|O.....|
|....|..-----
---------

Break into the middle area to solve the next boulder:

--------- '''J''' r
|..^^^^.| '''L''' uuu
------- |..----+-- '''H''' l
|>....-------^|.....| '''D''' u
-----........|^|.....| '''L''' dddd durr rruu uuu*

|.|.|I|...|.|@#...+.|
--.---...|.|.|.|...|-|
|.J...----L|.|.#...+.|
|..............|------
----....|......|
|....|..-----
---------

Fill in more holes using the boulders in the upper left chamber:

--------- '''E''' l
|..^^^^.| '''C''' r
------- |..----+-- '''E''' dddd dd__ _ rrrr rrrr rrrr uuuu uu*
|>....-------^|.....| '''B''' dddd dddd _ rrrr rrrr rrrr uuuu uuu*

|.|.|I|...|.|.#...+.|
--.---...|.|.|.|...|-|
|..J..----.|.|.#...+.|
|..............|------
----....|......|
|....|..-----
---------

Push the remaining boulders into the holes using the leftmost corridor:

--------- '''F''' llld ddd_ ____ _ drrr rrrr rrrr ruuu uuuu uuu*
|..^^^^.| '''I''' uuul llld dddd _ drrr rrrr rrrr ruuu uuuu uuuu*

The level is now complete, allowing you to pick up one of the three randomly-chosen Sokoban prizes.
