I was right to save this one for last. This quest has had some cryptic-ass stuff in it up to this point, but I think this dungeon might be the worst offender. Could also be recency bias, because there's definitely been some crap in previous videos that was really bad too. I guess let's break this one down.

THE BLOCKS
Eh. This one was fine, I guess. I don't love block puzzles but I've seen worse.

THE MAZE
Yeah, that was definitely a maze. I got through it eventually, but it wasn't pleasant. I guess like everything else in this quest, it required taking lots of notes or mapping it as you go.

THE CARRY-DOWN
This is a really weird one. On one hand, there wasn't actually much to this. You had to figure out the end goal, which was not super obvious, and there was one specific obscure thing that needed to be discovered to make it work. So like, once you get that, it's easy. But getting to that point was not.

THE FALL
Ugh. This would have been ok-ish if I was taking screenshots and looking at them all side-by-side to determine the best path. I didn't do that. The addition of a random moveable block towards the end and some random hidden switches that are mixed in with invisible pits is also a dick move.

And then there was the ending, which was kind of BA1-ish in execution.

So yeah. Kind of a pain in the ass.
