Write original solution for UnNetHack Sokoban 4e

New page

This is one of the new possible maps for the final level of [[Sokoban]] in [[UnNetHack]] and [[GruntHack]]. It has 22 boulders and 18 holes, leaving 4 spare boulders.

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. Letters '''O''' and '''Q''' are skipped for clarity. 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 hole (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 hole.

First, a few boulders need to be rotated near the entrance so that '''M''' can be pushed into the position of '''N''':

---- '''R''' u
|..-- '''W''' rd
---|...--------------------- '''R''' ddll l
|..|.AB^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^..| '''X''' llll l
--...-.C-------------------.| '''S''' uuuu d

|...M.N..P..-..R.||.+.....|
|...|..STU-V..W..|--|.....|
----|......X..|..| -------
|..|..|..-|@.|
--------------

It is now possible to make it up to the holes by going along the left. Beware, pushing '''D''' the wrong way here can be hard to recover from:

---- '''D''' r
|..-- '''A''' u
---|...--------------------- '''B''' r*
|..|.AB^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^..| '''A''' drrr*
--...-.C-------------------.| '''C''' urrr*
|.D.....E..F......| |.| '''G''' urru urrr r*

The boulders at the bottom can now be pushed around the outer edge of the level:

---- '''M''' llll ____ ____ ____ ___ uuuu uuur rrrr uurr rrrr*

|.....M.N..P-....||.+.....|
|...|...TU-.R..L.|--|.....|
----|.X.......|W.| -------
|..|..|..-|>.|
--------------

The last two holes can be filled by the two topmost boulders:

---- '''K''' r
|..-- '''I''' uurr r
---|...--------------------- '''H''' d
|..|.................@.^^..| '''I''' l
--...-..-------------------.| '''F''' l

|...........-....||.+.....|
|...|.....-......|--|.....|
----|.........|..| -------

The level is now complete. Remember to check under boulder '''J''' for any items.
