Baphomet and Faultline - am I hallucinating?

For some reason I have a vague memory of the idea that Baphomet was a zone monster who occasionally spawned in the old Faultline (before Issue 8).

Did I just hallucinate this, or is it true? Nobody ever went there unless they had to or were collecting badges, back in the day.

The old Faultline WAS a zone monster... if you couldn't fly! I do wish we could revisit it via Ouroboros, though.

I mapped all of Faultline with super jump.

I kinda miss old Faultline. As far as zones went, it was pretty creepy and non-Euclidian.

I visited old faultline once, and had to die to get out. I'd have never gone again if not for the revamp.

I was attacked by some sort of tentacles once when I accidentally jumped into the water near Doc Delilah. I don't remember what they were called.

That was over a year ago and I haven't seen them since. I'd hardly class them as a giant monster... but it was strange and a bit terrifying when it happened since I was new to the game.

Probably Hydra Heads, they're still there.

This might have been the doing of a Vahzilok boss; the Mire Eidolon has Tenebrous Tentacles.

No, they're Hydra Heads, just like what you fight in the Sewer Trial (only easier to fight). They have the little mouths on the end and everything.

Loose --> not tight.

One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

As has been pointed out, old Faultline had no zone monster.

Old Faultline was a Trial Zone which pretty much meant there wouldn't be any sort of draw except for its Trial. A shame the Faultline Trial never made it in-game.

Yup. Faultline was supposed to be a Trial zone. For any people reading this who weren't here prior to I8, the area behind the dam to the south of faultline was inaccessible although you could see it through the war walls (and get to it if you happened to find a map hole). That was where the trial was supposed to take place, but it never actually made it into the game (despite being described in the official Prima strategy guide)

Like Eden and Terra Volta (and, I suppose the underground sewer network) trial zones don't have giant monsters.

It used to be that Trial Zones had trials, and Hazard Zones had monsters. Except they never quite got implemented like that, were never quite followed up on like that, and that idea kind of got tossed out the window and isn't used today.

So that's the difference between the two. Then, see above. Now, nothing.

You're confusing Baphomet with Behemoths, you bigoted demonist!

At least you weren't over the zone level X.X

Hardly a mile, but that drop shown at the end of the video is the tallest drop in the game save for places in the Shadow Shard and perhaps Lord Recluse's tower.

You obviously haven't seen any of the recent "political" threads then

I thought that trial zones had larger spawns (like hazard was 5 player, trial 8 player, or some such thing?) Has that changed?
