Super Hostile is Very Hostile

Recently, I just started playing a new adventure map series called Super Hostile. If you don't know what adventure maps are, they are maps created by a person that either has specified goals, a storyline, or you just have to explore. The Super Hostile map series is a group of the hardest maps in Minecraft history. Here  is what a sign in one of them reads:

"This map is hard, I hate you and I want you to die."

It certainly speaks the truth- I've never seen anyone play one of them without dying at least 10 times. The ultimate goal in every map is to find every color of wool and complete the Victory Monument, which is hidden somewhere in the level. All of them have tricks designed to be purely cruel, like a diamond just out of your reach or a chest of treasure with a trap that blows the chest up when you go near it. There are many maps in the series, I'm going to give a brief description of them:

MAP 00: Training
This level is just designed to give you the basics of Minecraft, and some VERY helpful tips that will help you survive.

MAP 01: The Sea Of Flame
In this map, you find yourself on an island of sand, stone and obsidian surrounded by a sea of lava with only one tree (which has a trap hidden inside). You must build a shelter of sand and stone and explore the vast underground areas, with places like the Pigman Temple and the Snow Caves.

MAP 02: The Endless Deep
A map covered by an ocean, where you spawn on an airship. The map includes several secrets, such as a massive underwater dungeon.

MAP 03: The Infernal Sky
A massive series of floating islands- Don't fall off!

MAP 04: The Kazio Caverns
A intricate network of massive cave systems. The whole map takes place underground, and you are surrounded by a massive cube of bedrock, so you will be underground the entire time. This map has amazing variety.

MAP 05: The Black Desert
Welcome to the Black Desert, a place of eternal pain and despair. The entire sky is covered by obsidian, leaving the desert below pitch black (Hence "The Black Desert"). Your only refuge is small holes in the sky where light pours through. Attempt to survive in this wasteland, or die trying!

MAP 06: Canopy Carnage
This map if filled with exotic, massive trees that reach to the top of the world. Falling out of one is instant death! There are many hidden treasures in the trees, as well as chests on the forest floor and a temple. Unlike all the other maps, Canopy Carnage has an abundant source of wood available the second you load the map.

MAP 07: Legendary 
This map is called Legendary because of it's difficulty- Vechs (creator) came up with a name to describe it's hardness, "ROMhack" (probably because you need to hack to beat it :P). This map has several different environments to explore, and is one of the hardest in the series. In the words of Vechs:

You will die. You will suffer. You will yell at your computer screen. You will never beat this map, you will only occasionally hear about someone else who did. Good luck, because you will need it.

MAP 08: Nightmare
Unlike the other maps, this one starts hard and stays that way. This one is also a ROMhack difficulty level.

MAP 09: Sunburn Islands
Feel like you need a break from all this madness? Then head over to Sunburn Islands, which is quite easy(for a Super Hostile map, anyways...). The whole 
map is on a series of sandy islands. Veterans will find this one easy as pie.

Think you're ready for the challenge? If you're up to it, here's the link:

Have a fun time dying!
