Lemmings Challenges

[Leviathan]

I'm glad I figured out the tricky 9 without builder solution
I've made a level where you need the same glitch to get trough a very thick layer of steel,it looks very funny when you actually break trough :p

[LemSteven]

I've got two pieces of news:

1. &#A0;I've now confirmed (and executed) the 100% no-builder solution to Taxing 15 -- What an AWESOME Level. &#A0;Contrary to what I previously thought, it does not require the Tame 20 glitch at the end.

2. &#A0;I have just 14 levels to go in Lemmings Revolution before I can post my best scores. &#A0;So far, I am through 88 levels, and I have saved everybody in 70 of them.

I still wonder what the tame 20 glitch is...it doesn't seem to be the sliding glitch or the blocker glitch...

[tseug]

I went back to mayhem 29 to look for a lose 2 solution, and I think I found one (maybe.....it needs some checking...). It wouldn't work on the SNES though because of the water.

I didn't think you'd have enough skills available for lose 2, but if you succeed let us know.

Well, I just found it! &#A0;It's now confirmed:

Mayhem 29: &#A0;Save 78/80 (97%)

I actually found this before I ever read tseug's post. &#A0;It's just a coincidence that we both thought of it at the same time!

My solution requires every skill except for one blocker. &#A0;By far, the hardest part was getting the lemmings spaced out enough so that the leaders had time to build and block in the end. &#A0;It took me 20-30 tries before I got the timing right.

Here's a hint that helps you save a couple of skills along the way (highlight to read):
[highlight]You don't need any bashers to get past the broken pillar to the left of the entrance. &#A0;A well-placed digger and builder will do the job.[/highlight]

More hints are available upon request.

[tseug]

That sounds different from what I had in mind. Could PM me about the general idea?

Ah ok, that's a great idea.  But I still wonder about being able to free both blockers in the entrance area however, though it is somewhat conceivable depending on how many spare builders you have; it just didn't seem like there'd be enough.

Ah nevermind, I think I see how that can work out ([highlight]steel bashing?[/highlight]).  Good job!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Given the discussion in the lemmings remake thread, I guess you won't consider it a glitch.  It's basically just the climb-thru-terrain glitch/"trick", just that since you can't use builders, you instead get the lemming stuck by pushing him into the wall via a blocker.

[tseug]

Now I have the loopy idea that it may be possible to lose 1 on mayhem 29. I am really not sure.

EDIT: There's a bit of a builder shortage....

[Proxima]

Which versions is the lose 2 solution possible on?

[ccexplore]

You'd need to ask LemSteven, though I'm assuming it only works in the PC/DOS version due to the lack of water.

[LemSteven]

The Lose 2 solution that I found will only work on versions that don't have water.

Ah nevermind, I think I see how that can work out ([highlight]steel bashing?[/highlight]). &#A0;Good job!

That's correct. &#A0;You only need two builders while freeing the crowd. &#A0;The hard part was getting everybody spaced out right so that there were two lemmings in front of the crowd at the end of the level. &#A0;[highlight]I had to use three blockers in the entrance area to get it to work right.[/highlight]

[tseug]

I can almost lose one... but that broken pillar is a nuisance...
