Hi AMH,

It's a beautiful map, thanks for making it.
Suggestion: make the totems easier to use and the price of a terp the normal price.

Thank you. I explain below my reasoning for these modifications, but in future maps I will take this into account and make the map less dependent on the very limited availability of certain elements.

I price the items this way to promote finding other methods of solving the map, but without disabling the items themselves.  This map is very dependent on elevations and a terp would have bypassed that easily, but if you want to use one it is still available, just not helpful for speedruns.

The totem placing was done intentionally so that aether must be budgeted.

Hint for the totems:

Spoiler

Use the initial aether to extend firing range, or use the first powerzone to place a mortar to take out the first line of digitalis, then use continuous strafers to take out the outer line of digitalis, and the landing spots for guppys at each of the totems will be wide open
