The epic concludes. Unlike the other Repton 2 levels, Screens N, O and P are linked in a series: each one leads to the next, so you cannot return to the first level until you have completed all three. Although often thought of as the last three levels, they can be tackled earlier in the sequence; they just cannot be separated from each other. Screen P is therefore the hardest level to reach, and contains a large field of diamonds as an appropriate reward, together with a row of transporters all linked to their own squares, presumably to baffle the player who has not reached this level into thinking there must be many more levels to go than there really are.

After completing these screens, since I took care at the end of the previous video and the start of this one to clear the remaining earth on the first level, there is nothing more to be done except collect the final pieces of the puzzle. These are trapped behind guardian skulls, and the status character has to be visited twice in order to release them. I then show the completed puzzle, visit the status character a final time to open the finish character, and finally make my way across the surface one last time.

Appropriately, I have selected Scott Joplin's beautiful piece The Entertainer as the music for this final video. I hope watching the series has entertained you as much as making it has entertained me!
