(WARNING, this post contains boss spoilers! Click away if you haven’t ran the dungeon(s))
If you ever followed my misadventures in WoW, you probably know that I enjoy soloing dungeons (just to see if I can do it, and for the profit).
And when the opportunity rose to do it in VRChat’s ‘Huggi Dungeon Series’ (HDS), I.. well, hesitated. Still burned by the second time we completed, that I failed to defeat that damn robot. Because either I forgot to jump at a certain time, or wasn’t fucking paying attention to my backside (before walking into a wall by mistake). My situational awareness isn’t there when I’m with friends (apparently), yet it is when I’m the one doing the fights.
So killing that thing, put a well-deserved smile on my face. I have restored my pride… that and being rushed to do a parkour challenge is a really, really shitty boss mechanic.
This was especially true when facing Big Sister again. Infact it was more frustrating than that robot. After getting past her attacks (which paled compared to the robot), I got to do this parkour course, and go all the way up to the teddy bear (where I assume you click on it).
I got up there a few times, and spam clicked it.. yet nothing happened. So it’s not just a rush parkour fight, it’s a bugged rush parkour fight. And this annoyed me until I slammed the button on my speaker to turn it off.
“This bad boy can fit so many fucking raged Benie in it”
Even trying to watch a video, and watching them complete it in half the time it took them to defeat the robot, just.. WTF?! But, persistence eventually paid off. Either you have to have both feet on the platform for it to register (which I could had sworn I did before), or.. run into the bear by accident (which I did).
Here I thought I had failed again, then I hear Big Brother say “that’s enough Lisa” ..holy shit I did it!

The final boss was actually.. ‘easier’ than I expected? I thought it was going to be impossible (since it heavily hinted on teamwork). But it seems persistence will eventually complete it.
I also completed the really frustrating spawn area puzzle (that I could find no video or walkthrough). I think, you have to find either 2-3 out of the four tapes in the world. I have found Tapes 1, 3 and 4 (Tape 2 still eludes me). This will give the servant the drink it wants, that changes the picture (which unlocks the door).
As to what’s behind the door… honestly it’s not much, but it’s still pretty cool. I will also not spoil it.
It feels great to restore my honor. I just wish I could had done this infront of my friends. And it’s highly possible that I will, for the creator of the series is planning to release Patch 1.1 will be released soon. It was going to be released last week, but maybe they saw a few issues with it.
It’s supposed to add brand new fear challenge rooms, new challenge modes, an alternate ending, new secrets and easter eggs, and finally lots of bug fixes. They also plan tweaks to the boss fights. Hopefully they’ll be more balanced (no more 7 second parkour race BS).
And as to if there would be a Part 3, the only thing that might be hinting at that is Tape 1 (and of course this thing about ‘Training Huggi’). Even though she’s innocent in this (and technically was her Big Sister), I feel the HDS isn’t going to end here.
