Chapter 2: "The Hallowed Journey"
Hi there, folks!

As promised, I'll be releasing some information here about my next project. As you can tell by the title, it's supposed to be a sequel to this map.
Please note that this is just **concept**, I can't assure you that it'll be built at all.

So, to start off the discussion, I'll ask some of you to check the map!
I left a few clues in Watercastle, I hope you can pick 'em up.
You can also try to decipher the title of the map! It's a Vigenere cipher, the key is locked in a Golden Chest inside the Dungeon.
Once someone has found one of the ingame clues, I'll tell you some details.

'Til then!!

Well, the map name is The Hallowed Journey. That one wasn't hard. :p I'd honestly already guessed "The" and "Journey" right off. And the cipher key being "SHADOWKEY" was a bit on the nose. :p

As for the hints in castle... does it have something to do with the sign next to the pylon?

A cavern filled with crystals.

An ominous castle guarded by a mysterious old man sounds like the Dungeon.

Land filled with unicorns is obviously the Hallow.

And the towering flesh-born demon lord sounds like the Wall of Flesh.

Well done! Good job cracking the code, I thought people would be slightly intimidated by a cipher like Vigenère, but it's not the case, and you did it! I'm really glad it all worked out. Some clues are as follows, according to different aspects of the map.

You're free to especulate and theorize about the map, but please label your comment as
[THEORY]

First Clue
~ Prologue ~
From the fallout of the Crimson, other foes arose: a gigantic Queen Bee, which had claimed the jungle for its brethren; a spooky Skeletron, which had laid his curse upon a benevolent Old Man, who had guarded the Dungeon ever since.
The Terrarian Kingdom thrived as our hero conquered the hostile lands. The Crimson retreated, and the King's scientists and sorcerers invented wonders such as spaceships and Pylons; cities left in remains were rebuilt.
Eventually, the Crimson's trail of blood led to the Underworld, where a towering demon known as the Wall of Flesh resided. Upon defeating the abomination, you unleashed the ancient spirits of light and dark upon the world.
It's been six months since that day. A new foe has awoken, far more powerful than the Crimson. What will you do?

Second Clue
"To meet the daughter of the King, such a delight! A lovely lady, she was the star of the Kingdom who shone most bright... until the tragedy.
An evil entity, from a land that's been gone, broke its seal and stole the Princess as a light of her own. A King lost a daughter to a ruthless tyrant, and the Terrarian Kingdom ever since shone no brighter.

The Princess lies hidden, sealed away with powerful spirits as a pet to the queen of all fairies - who could not stand to see a light that would shine brighter than the fairy herself."

Third Clue
The Core of the World just lost its final spark
Releasing powerful spirits of the light and the dark
It blinds your senses and conquers with feral might
The hallowed tyrant is ready for a fight.

Do You Have A Ruff Idea When The Sequel Can Release Or No?
#7
JMB4 20 Feb, 2022 @ 2:34pm 
Also Will The Map Start In Hardmode Ir Will It Go Into Hardmode Halfway Through?
#8
StipulateVenus  [developer] 21 Feb, 2022 @ 5:23am 
No, I don't have an ETA. I'm not even working on it right now, it'll be a huge project and I'm not even sure I'll get to finish it...
But well, the idea is here.

The map will start in Hardmode.
