Well, the sword in this AD map is also called Caliburnus. But that's a common name:
eventually I settled on the idea of the sword in the rock, Caliburnus That didn't happen for me. Must re-visit.
BTW, great map! :) Didn't find everything but then again who does?!
After completing the map i've managed to find the latest secret and kill the rest of the gangs skill 1 playthrough: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ykyxp2u0rq6ax5d/Grendel_Yoder.zip?dl=1
Maybe I'm dense but I was finding the secret runes more easily than I was finding some of the main paths! Took about 45 minutes to find the gold key and then spent another 15 trying to find the last rune without luck. Combat encounters were good fun, and the level has beautiful geo and lighting. May have to try again on skill 2 now that I know my way around. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/277885313 6:20 onwards.
Great map, loved it, good balance of some hectic gameplay and lots of exploration. And an exciting demonstration of how far pure Id textures can go. Not really much else to say except that the detailed explanation in that readme page all works in reality. As per the stream the only issue I found was the Eye-For-An-Eye key triggering the door rather than opening. Very cool map! I liked uberinterconnectivity, though i had major fps issues in the main hall with the blade. Map was barely playable close to the top cuz of that, but i'll return there at home on better computer and find the rest of runes.
Thanks sock! Here's skill 1 demo: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/FjCa/C77v3Ucwm for the feedback and demo's and especially to metlslime for creating this thread. I had given up on this place due to the anon shit posting and a few negative individuals determined to make my life miserable. Its good to see the community prove me wrong about this place.
I have seen most of the demo's now and it was fun to see how everyone took to the run+gun style. (Some still love to explore) I do wish everyone gave me a hint about what client they use to record/play Quake, because some just don't work in QS. I do hope most of you enjoyed the web page waffle for the map. If this is something you would like to see more of, let me know what maps and an idea of what details to waffle about! Yeah more waffle! I selfishly would love a write-up on Fallen from Grace. It's the map that got me excited to map again after a many year absence. That map and TrenchBroom got me hooked again.
Please stay involved here. Link to Fallen from Grace for readers: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/fallen1c.html Yes, I really liked the article and even see it as a replacement for a readme. Your article is, what readme's should be.
I case you had trouble with my demos, I used the newest Mark V. I finally got around to playing this one! I was about halfway through my first run when a careless jump landed me in the lava all the way at the bottom. I really liked the upper area where you could walk across the hilt and the various platforming elements. I'll have to play it again to find all the runes and the last secrets. I also really appreciated how the encounters had lots of monsters and lots of weapons & powerups!

Got completely lost twice Liked everything else a lot Almost got to the end without dying. Got many secrets Didn't realise I should shoot the runes https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gv6PYyCc-4wDfyl7HFwLGpPG0Ha6wUqc nice blade in the middle of the map
i'm guessing that the map has a second run like ad_ac? another time i will find the last thingy to shoot nice encounters, i like the difficulty. demo in skill 3, using qss-spiked https://drive.google.com/open?id=10ZmkMwZijm1SCUXyL5kiq4Z5lfgHsZT4 Hi Sock,
I installed ad_v170 + patch 1 and I see these missing model messages in the console: https://i.imgur.com/m0RUUgr.png I don't want to start the playthrough if monster models are missing, that would get weird :) Could you please point me where to get the missing models from? http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/ad_grendel_drew.zip
Really enjoyed this, think it shows in the demo. Lots of derping as well. This was actually the first Quake map I've played in over a year, pretty happy with my decision. I've got quite the treasure trove to start combing through now though - almost intimidated hahaha! Thanks for this and all your other amazing contributions Sock! Wow, another great maps by Sock!
Here is skill 1 It is a bit mazy, so I didn't find all the runes :<
