The Maze: Mahfaeraak Ul Vulom

Player forewarned: This is NOT your traditional dungeon.

THE MAZE: MAHFAERAAK UL VULOM

Did you enter the famed Labyrinthian, hoping to face the trials of a truly epic maze that a name like that would suggest, only to be dissapointed at the straight-line design of the dungeon? Did you stumble upon Shalidor's Maze, again, thinking there would at least be a wrong turn or two, only to find that, again, it is designed to be straight forward and simple? Are you looking for an experience that Skyrim, albeit all her glory, somehow lacks; the experience of being truly, hopelessly lost?

Prepare yourself. Darkness awaits.

The Maze: Mahfaeraak Ul Vulom is a literal maze made from the dungeon pieces given in the creation kit, and formed into a playable dungeon. Did you like mazes as a kid? You might be into this. For now it is an independant mod, but a series might be in the works. I have visions in my mind of Dwemer, Cave, Imperial, and other types of mazes, but for now this is my focus.

PREREQUISITES: None.

CONFLICTIONS: None that I know of. If you know of a mod that alters the island where the Mahferaak Ul Vulom exterior is, please let me know in the comments section.

WHERE IS IT?: Just northeast of Solitude, down the road from the Dainty Sload. Map Marker visible when you subscribe.
<===============================>

Ver. 0.5: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Only first level (fairly easy, imo) is finished, and in basic, bare-bones form. See if you can find the Dragon Key and gain access to the second level by dropping down shafts. Be warned though, some of the shafts contain traps instead of safe passage, so save often. There are no other traps, keys, or clues yet, and the second level is only a layer of water, but more will be coming soon.

Ver. 0.6:

Added all the doors and keys for the first level of the maze. Now, you must find the right key before moving forward. Keys in place are: Dragon, Fox, Bear, Eagle, and Moth. Level 2 currently under construction. I also added a helpful book at the beginning of the level. How helpful? Well, you'll have to read it to find out, providing you can.

Ver. 0.7:
Second level (Mahferaak Flooded Crypts) is bare-bones, but vanilla maze is complete. Just consider the stairs to be dead ends. Areas still under construction. If you reach the locked Snake door, there is no key in place as of yet and you have completed the maze thus far. There is a small treasure stash for your troubles. To get out, open the console and type 'coc whiterunbanneredmare'. This is a work in progress, remember. LOCAL MAPS ARE NOW DISABLED INSIDE THE MAZE. Sorry but that made it way too easy and took away from the experience that is the goal of this mod.

Ver. 0.8:
Flooded crypts now construction-complete and has doors and keys (Wolf, Owl, Snake, Whale). Deep Catacombs entryway now has a treasure trove opposite the maze entrance, which you must find all the correct keys to open. Now there is actually a reason to complete the maze! (Go figure). End of the second level loops to beginning of first level so after you find the Whale key, getting back out should be easy. Fixed many spelling mistakes of "Mahfaeraak." Thanks to Mad Ninja for that one.

Ver. 0.8.5: Dungeon now completely NavMeshed.

Ver. 0.8.6: Whale room stairs glitch fixed.

Ver. 0.8.7: Added a bit of lighting and decoration to the treasure room. Added waterbreathing potions at the beginning of the underwater trials (Owl, Snake keys).

Ver. 0.8.8: Fixed exit glitch in Deep Catacombs, added troll beast to Flooded Crypt.

Ver. 0.9: Enemies! There are still a few minor glitches which will be fixed in the days to come, but leveled enemies are now throughout the Deep Catacombs. The powerful troll is meant to be a sort of lone stalker of the lower levels. Let me know what you guys think of him. Too powerful?

Ver. 1.0: Fixed the exit glitch and made the boss much weaker.
