Welcome those who use ForgeHub on the daily, as well as welcome to those who have followed the instructions on the map itself. This is a “puzzle trail adventure” that requires you to use this page to find instructions and hints on where to go and how to solve certain puzzles on certain maps. Visit the old and new, maps you surely have played before as well as maps made specifically for this. This truly is the Beginning of the End!

Someone once told me The Stone Platform was not long enough for them, this “map” is my response.

Quick thanks to all the co-forgers! Yes, those are LEGIT co forgers and I would not have been able to do this without them! They poured their heart and souls into this and I really appreciate each and every one of them.

Very special thanks to Julianoz1224 (@Julian Truby) and A Squid Loaf (@Lost Pinecone) for giving their heart and soul into playtesting this behemoth! Their 4 months of time was not in vain.

As well as @Sword of Malnok for reporting MANY other errors that I overlooked and have now fixed.

Also please, please, PLEASE read the following so there is a lot less confusion. It will answer a lot of questions, as well as help you not get stuck.

BEFORE YOU START:

You can expect this to take a long time to complete.

You WILL want to take notes or have a very strong memory.

You can return to where you left off when you need a break.

You will not have to purchase anything to complete.

You do not need any parkour skills.

Default announcer will need to be used for sound hints or map names.

You can use any puzzle mode gametype on most maps, besides maps that use INFINUT's X-Ball gamemode.

You can do this solo but having a friend may make this more enjoyable for how lengthy it is.

I encourage this to be played like any other puzzle map, not in forge.

Not all maps will have directions here, for they are either puzzle maps, or have instructions on them already.

Be on the lookout for the “secret letters,” you will find them at the end of certain maps. They are the letters in Magenta, you won’t miss them. You will NEED to remember them for later and the order you found them in, so keep note of that.

It has been play tested and worked, so if you run into any problems you may be doing it wrong. However, if you do feel strongly that something isn’t working, or a map may be hidden let me know and I will check on it for you as soon as I can.

If you have any questions feel free to message me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Again, this will take time to complete, be ready for that.

For this being such a long quest, there will be rewards for the first 6 players to finish:

1. Platinum Pack, Spring Supplies Pack and a Valentine Pack

2. Platinum Pack and a Gold Pack

3. Platinum Pack and a Gold Pack

4. Platinum Pack and a Gold Pack

5. Platinum Pack

6. Platinum Pack

To receive the reward, you must screenshot the W and tell me how many UNIQUE maps you visited on the journey give or take a map. Also, the first 6 players will have their name displayed on the very beginning map, as well as on this post.
