UPDATED MAP - YOU MAY ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO COMPLETE IT NOW WITHOUT CHEATING.

For all those who ran out of patience trying to complete Cubeskew 2: Skewed Harder, I proudly present Cubeskew 2: Skewed Easier.

While I love the harder version of Cubeskew 2, it is insanely difficult to complete, especially with an Invasion timer breathing down your neck. With this new, easier version, I feel I’ve retained all the aspects that made the first version fun while removing the aggravating difficulty level. Now, the average player should be able to complete the map with only a fraction of the patience required for the harder version.

Every jump that was in the original Cubeskew 2 is still there. I’ve just tweaked things a bit to increase the probability of successfully landing the more difficult jumps. While the word easier is in the title of this new version, it is only a relative term. Cubeskew 2: Skewed Easier is still a challenging map to complete, but it should be much more fun than the harder version.

Check out the new video walkthrough down below to see if you can figure out what was changed to improve your odds of completing Cubeskew 2.

I really hope that anyone who became too discouraged to finish the original version will try this one out. I’m confident you’ll find it much more enjoyable when you can actually make your way to the end.

Mission Briefing Summary:

We’ve recently discovered a singular Forerunner facility. Well, it’s actually not quite so singular since we explored a similar yet smaller facility a little less than a year ago. What makes this facility special is the gravitational anomalies that have been detected throughout the structure, the strongest of which appear to be occurring near the facility’s center.

Your mission will be to gain entry and explore the facility. Make your way to the area of greatest gravitational distortion, ascertain the cause and bring that information back to headquarters.

Based on intel acquired from the first facility, you’ll be encountering some disorienting effects. Determining up and down will most likely be a difficult task.

Mission Update:

Based on your situation report, you’ve entered the facility and the path back to your Falcon has been cut off.

Continue the mission as planned. We are working on an alternate extraction point, yet to be determined. Watch for waypoints throughout the duration of the mission, the final of which will be your new extraction point.

Good luck.

Cubeskew 2: Skewed Easier

This map is the big brother of my first Cubeskew map. Bigger in every way, Cubeskew 2 dwarfs the original in both size and difficulty. There are some new surprises awaiting those with enough stamina to make it through the disorienting effects of the cube. Like the first Cubeskew, be prepared for an architectural reward (or curse) once you’ve escaped the cube.

Cubeskew 2 has checkpoints, unlike its predecessor, although they probably won’t be as frequent as many players would want. Because escaping from Cubeskew 2 will be very difficult, I’ve set up two separate gametypes for the map. The first, Cubeskew 2 Invasion, is more difficult due to the inclusion of time limits, but offers a more complete experience. The second, Cubeskew 2 Oddball, has no time limits and may be more appropriate for those who aren’t seeking the pressure of a timer breathing down their necks.

WARNING: You must use either the Cubeskew 2 Invasion or Cubeskew 2 Oddball gametype when playing this map. While other gametypes may work, you may encounter game-breaking problems that will detract from your enjoyment of the map. If using the Cubeskew 2 Invasion gametype, all players MUST be on the red team. Anyone on the blue team will not be able to play through the map. Also, only Spartans will be able to complete Cubeskew 2. Do not enter this map as an Elite.

Cubeskew 2 is a very difficult map to finish. For anyone who can't make it out of the cube(s), feel free to use Forge to play through the map. Just be sure not to use the Basic Editing or Invasion gametypes while in Forge or you'll run into impassable gates.

Overall Map Diagram: The following diagram contains minor spoilers. If you prefer to be surprised by the unexpected, you may want to look at this later once you’ve made it through the map.
