As we continued deeper into the cave, the narrow tunnel gave way to a massive chamber—and right in front of us stood a towering cliff.
Embedded into the rock face, high above, was a large stone gate. It looked completely out of place compared to the rest of the cave, almost like someone had carved it straight out of a ruin and jammed it into this mountain.
"That gate up there," I said, shading my eyes with one hand, "looks like it leads to the next area."
Alice followed my gaze. "Figures. And of course, it's way up there."
She wasn't wrong. It wasn't the kind of place you could just climb up to. The rock walls were sheer, jagged, and slippery with ice. This was the part I remembered.
The real difficulty in this dungeon wasn't the monsters—it was the puzzles.
Traps. Gimmicks. Hidden switches. The kind of stuff that made you want to throw your controller in frustration.
