Battle With The Archers 41: The Fate of Three Worlds
(Published on 9. October 2023, 10:01 by Playmaker6174)
This is the 41st puzzle of my Battle With The Archers collection and also the next part of my Three Worlds mini-series, where I try to explore some advanced arrow mechanics and put them together to make some unique puzzles.
This puzzle was set and finished right before Portal X-sums, when I was still into the drafting parts of its opening. This actually had two results at the end, where the following one was the second result of that; for the first one, I'll leave it in the hidden comment section instead as a bonus edition.
After this Archers entry, I'll try to experiment something with other pencil puzzle genres for a while and learn more stuff from that (apparently, I already got some fun ideas from that as well). For now, I hope you enjoy some of the ideas in this entry! :)
Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply: every row, column and 3x3 box contains digits from 1 to 9 each once.
- Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the circle cell attached to that arrow.
