Stage 2: stand on the correct ropes
the stage has 2 additional ropes up from 4
ropes will periodicly become on fire and player die if they are on it(there will be a 7 second timer on the screen to let player know when the ropes light up on fire)

Every 20 second the swamp rise to cover the bottom platform&ropes, players standing in it get devour by the ligators roaming the swamp, swamp goes back
down 1 sec after engulfing the bottom area
Every 20 second carnivorous plants come down from the ceilling to devour players standing on the top platform,
they go away 1 sec after coming down from the ceiling
the ligators and carnivorous plants alternate at random
there a second timer next to the ropes one
the second timer will have a muddy icon and a vines icon to indicate whats coming up(either swamp rise or carnivorous plants)
1 Ligator will be stationed under each rope patrolling a bit to the left and right from it...if a player touch them instant death
whenever the swamp tide goes back down or the carnivorous plants goes away, increase stationned ligators movement speed for 4 sec

Stage 3 stand on the correct platforms
whenever the answer is wrong a strong wind push all players to the left of the map THEN the swamp begin to rise
while climbing back up the slope, sliding ligators will try to eat player going up
boulders will fall at random spots on the 5 platforms and all over the upper area floor for players to dodge
a bubble will grow on a platform every 10 sec and any player standing near it when it pop will get glue to the floor for 5 sec

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Stage 4: stand on the correct Barrels
barrels count increase to 8
instead of 3 players standing on the barrels all 4 players will have to stand on them to guess the correct code
the swamp will flood the entire platform under the barrels once all 4 players are standing on the barrel
players will have to get the code right without falling in the swamp otherwise they get eaten by ligators and die
a gentle wind will try to push the players off the barrels once every 15 secs for 3 secs

Note: if a player died during this run, the fourth barrel wont be require(the game will flag it as if a fourth player was on it)

-_-_-_-_-

King Slime
Ground Pound is now a 1 shot attack
new skill 1: every 8 sec mark a player, if that player is near their party member after 3 second they turn them into king slime servants then die if the player that turn them into the king slime servants die
new skill 2: after taking 50% dmg split himselve into 2 halves, those 2 halve split into 2 more halves if they're down to 8% HP remaining
when the king slime split in halves his damage get reduce
King Slime whole(100% dmg)
King Slime Halves(first split)(65% dmg of the non-split King had)
King Slime Halves(second split)(deal 40% of the dmg the non-split King had)
due to how this work ground pound no longer 1 shot after he split...the effect also reduce skill 3&4 dmg

rule 2: at the start of the run, the players vote on weither the party is allow to take handicaps or not as it may possibly make clearing a lot harder, maximum of 8 sec to select what you want,it will default choose no handicap if haven't select either within next 8 sec

like the previous revamp i did for Ludi pq....this 1 also get 4 difficulties setting(the written revamp above is written for extreme difficulty)
so
Normal
Hard
Very Hard
Extreme

lower difficulties will have nerf or removed mechanics that extreme has for players that want to enjoy the pq but can't handle a rly high difficulty

just like ludi pq rewards are gonna be exp, nodestones, exp nodestones, bosses gear bag(non-weekly bosses equipment)

iin addition to its own special equip piece

also i thought of a way to make each revamped pq give a piece of gear that would be valuable

so what i have in mind is the following....each pq will give a part of an item to fill(each pq part enchant 1 special item)

lets says either a Totem or Medal to complete using every PQ fragment
how to get a Fragment from a PQ ?
Extreme: complete it 25 time each(total of 350 PQ to complete for the completed item)
Very Hard: complete each pq 15 time each(Total of 210 PQ to complete the VH item)
Hard: complete each pq 8 time each(Total of 112 PQ)
Normal: complete each PQ 4 time each(Total of 56 PQ)

one of my idea to how to revive PQ and make them meaningful
for the Ludi PQ revamp just seek out my other thread

i'am aware that i didn't include Bunny PQ and Ariant Coliseum PQ for the fragment section....but i'am not gonna bother with whats been remove from the game...same for any other i forgot or dunno of......well anyway...hope you guys enjoy this pq revamp idea for Kerning .... think i made it juicy enough for some fun......and hope the few hardcore players love the handicap system

EDIT: fixed some typos....and i think i made Stage 2 a little lacking for extreme......gonna think something up to add to it
EDIT 2: added some new stuff to stage 2 ....good enough now to be extreme worth
