Maelstrom is a section created by uwuPyxl and was added on an unknown date.
Information[]
This dark lavender section contains a large spinning carousel shaped object resembling a maelstrom. Inside the maelstrom features many varied killpart obstacles that move along the figure, as well as several pillars that cover every angle within the maelstrom's shape. The player must go through these killpart obstacles to make it to a truss and climb onto it which leads to the top of the maelstrom.
The player then must jump across the killparts on the top of the maelstrom and get to the truss that leads to the end of the section.
Tips[]
- If this spawns as the first section, you can go onto the stairs and jump straight onto the truss, skipping half of the section.
- It is recommended that players use sideways camera via shift lock or first person so that they can see what killpart obstacles are next (only when you are inside the maelstrom).
- If you have the trowel truss part upgrade, you can place a truss in the middle part outside of the carousel to skip the last part. However, it is one of the hardest trowel skips to pull off.
- You can stop the entire section from moving using an hourglass to make it easier and get rid of some lag, just be sure that the one killpart obstacle that moves up and down is at the ceiling when you activate it.
- When you’re at the top of the maelstrom, you can just wait until you reach the truss at the end of the section. However, it is recommended not to wait if you want to complete the section faster.
- Whenever you're lagging so much and you're at the top segment, make sure to avoid landing near the edges of the plate when you decide to jump over the killparts there, as your feet will likely clip through and touch the killpart pillars below you, causing you to die.
Trivia[]
- This used to be the 76th section in The Tower of Hell.
- Along with Constant and Which One, the section is incompatible with all sections that end on the right meaning it causes a lot of incompatibilities.
- This is the only vanilla section that has a transparent part.
- This section can sometimes glitch and the main part can be way higher than it's supposed to be, making it impossible to complete without gears or mutators.
- Back then, whenever this spawns as the first section of a tower, you could go onto the stairs and jump straight onto the truss leading to the top of the maelstrom, skipping half of the section.
- This is no longer possible as the lobby had been updated for the second time to the current one that no longer features the staircase which was key to many other shortcuts.
