How to use rescue codes. Thread - Voyage to Farland

Version 2.2.5 of Voyage to Farland should be launching soon. It has some minor bug fixes but one new major feature, Rescue Codes.

The idea is that when you're vanquished in a dungeon, you can request a friend or fellow Voyage fan on the internet to come and rescue you. Here's how it works:

1) You are vanquished (I don't recommend allowing this on purpose, but hey... it happens)

2) You request a rescue from the Start Menu. The rescue code will be copied to the system clipboard so you can paste it into an email, a tweet or on this forum here! It will help to tell potential rescuers what dungeon it was and what floor (e.g. Floor 3 in The Path of No Return)

3) A nice fellow Voyage fan out there can enter the code in the Start Menu ("Rescue Someone") by first copying it with Ctrl-C, etc. and then selecting "Paste Code"

4) The rescuer will then be taken directly to the first floor of the dungeon you were vanquished in. He or she will have to fight their way up to the floor you fell on, find the "Fallen HERO" and talk to him/her. This completes the rescue and a successful rescue code will then automatically be copied to the system clipboard and the rescuer can reply to your email, your tweet, your facebook post or on the forum and include the code!

5) You can then thank them and enter the code to revive your HERO and continue your adventure!

This is all very beta code currently and there are a few caveats:

• you can only generate rescue request codes for the most recent defeat in the following dungeons - Iya Gorge (main dungeon with The Cute Forest), The Path of No Return, The Vial Trial and The Bot Subplot.
• unfortunately, you currently can't start a new adventure and still be rescued (if you start a new adventure and someone rescues you, the code will be useless, but at least the rescuer will get "good karma" and perhaps an achievement and bonus item here or there!)
• rescuing someone will overwrite any current saved game you have, so it's best to do rescues after you've been vanquished or have stored away all your loot in the warehouse and are currently in the "Wilderness" .

I'll post a few sample rescue request codes soon so that you can try out the new system!

As promised here are some rescue request codes you can try. Copy the code to your system clipboard with Ctrl-C or right click and "Copy", then in the game's Start Menu, select Rescue->Rescue Someone->Paste Code.

Iya Gorge (the starter dungeon with The Cute Forest), Floor 2, or The Dark Forest :
bd35ec79c1e43d26f86a674866ed761c010207dd08070632290065

Bot Subplot Floor 1:
703000ab73854aaeb491425c5d6d20e4060107dd0805140b220065

The Path of No Return, Floor 1:
8a9889cc3f3c85f93ad6cddb8fd64e6d030107dd08050c160a0065

The Vial Trial, Floor 2 (which is floor 5 since it branches off of Iya Gorge):
e616b5ccdc428199bd05a5d9a6c8e4aa040507dd08050f363a0065

This last rescue in The Vial Trial is particularly difficult because you start at floor 4 (where The Vial Trial branches off from Iya Gorge), but your HERO starts at level 1 and the monsters are balanced for someone coming in at level 4 or 5. I've actually found it to be a nice challenge, though!

Here's another rescue request code.

The Path of No Return, Floor 25:
4f9afcc18b603b4eb9bc9191f8596f85031907dd0b05081c030065

And a Let's Play series showing some of the floors when I made this run:
