Sokoban Level 1d

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Sokoban Level 1d is one of the new maps for Sokoban in some variants of NetHack. It may appear as a first level map for Sokoban in UnNetHack, EvilHack and Hack'EM, and can appear as a third level map in SlashTHEM; in Hack'EM, this map is named "We See You" in the Sokoban level data.

It has 12 boulders and 11 pits, leaving 1 spare boulder; the scrolls of earth appear in all variants minus SlashTHEM.

Like all Sokoban levels in UnNetHack, this level may be flipped horizontally or vertically.

  -------------     0 boulder
--|...........|     ^ pit
|.+.........<.|     > starting position/downstairs
|^|...........|---- < upstairs

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, fill in the first three pits with the nearest boulders:

  -------------     F dddd l*
--|...........|     G lddd dll*
|.+.........<.|     A lldd dddd lll*
|^|...........|----
|^|###########|...|
|^#...........|...|
|^#.--..A.B....CD.|
|^#..|.-----.--.E.|
|^#..|FG...|H||.I.|
|^#.--.---.|.--J..|
|^#....---.K.L....|
|.-##-.......--...|
|..^^^.......|-----
|??---.......|
---- ------@--
          ---

Collect the two scrolls of earth if they are present and solve two more boulders:

  -------------     B llll dddd ddll lllu u*
--|...........|     K lddl llll llll uuu*
|.+.........<.|
|^|...........|----
|^|###########|...|
|^#...........|...|
|^#.--....B....CD.|
|^#..|.-----.--.E.|
|^#..|.....|H||.I.|
|^#.--.---.|.--J..|
|^#....---.K.L....|
|.-##-.......--...|
|...@........|-----
|??---.......|
---- ------>--
          ---

Now open up the room on the right by solving the boulder at the bottom entrance and another nearby almost the same way:

  -------------     L rrrl llll lddl llll llll uuuu*
--|...........|     H dddu rrrr llll lldd llll llll luuu uu*
|.+.........<.|
|^|...........|----
|^|###########|...|
|^#...........|...|
|^#.--.........CD.|
|^#..|.-----.--.E.|
|^#..|.....|H||.I.|
|.#.--.---.|.--J..|
|@#....---...L....|
|.-##-.......--...|
|............|-----
|..---.......|
---- ------>--
          ---

One specific boulder needs to be pushed to avoid the remaining boulders getting stuck, but after that the solution is straightforward:

  -------------     E l
--|...........|     I ddll llll ddll llll lllu uuuu u*
|.+.........<.|     J dlll lldd llll llll luuu uuuu*
|^|...........|---- D dddd llll lldd llll llll luuu uuuu u*
|^|###########|...| C r
|^#...........|...| E dddl llll ddll llll lllu uuuu uuuu*
|^#.--.........CD.|
|.#..|.-----.--.E.|
|@#..|.....|.||.I.|
|.#.--.---.|.--J..|
|.#....---........|
|.-##-.......--...|
|............|-----
|..---.......|
---- ------>--
          ---

The level is now finished:

  -------------
--|...........|
|.+.........<.|
|.|...........|----
|@|###########|...|
|.#...........|...|
|.#.--..........C.|
|.#..|.-----.--...|

Next level

UnNetHack

UnNetHack's Sokoban branch has only three levels per game, collapsing the 'second' levels into the first floor, so the first level leads straight to the pool of third levels:
