Topic: cryptic

[mdyoung40]

just got started and i'm stuck on puzzle 1,any hints out there?

[david]

hahaha very funny,

I think it is too early to ask, isnt it?

Try, try, try harder, some good poits are at the completed game announcements

[Leon]

Visible:

Don't get distracted by the numbers....

Less obvious:

Take a good look at the first line and....

The clue to it all:

Take the first line very literal.

[Bulbapuck]

Okay, the second puzzle.

I know I won't be able to solve this, might as well ask right away.

Could definately use another clue...

[Snake]

Thanks Leon, so I guess I'm on the right track then. After posting ealier, I finally realized that;

No, it can't be like a cryptogram. I finally noticed that the numbers are written like in poetry (a septet is a seven line poem) which is what the paper's messege was in.

Am I on the right track?

I'm also unclear of how the answers should be written. Is it a one word answer or more than one word?

It's FAR easier then that. I think you're thinking of the "wrong" first line. Read Leon's post again and you'll figure it out

2 Snake:
Answers, as far as I understood, may contain more than one word...

And following the Bulbapuck's reply: yes, you're overemphasizing the text of the "riddle"

Remember the gates to Moria and Gandalf trying to guess the riddle written on them: Say friend and enter...

[Bulbapuck]

...the Bulbapuck...

haha, it sound like a title I like it!

Now: the second puzzle is driving me MAAAD!! (as you can witness by my increasing posting )

Please, another clue, pretty please?

[david]

It=train so Train backwards=niart

Am I on the right track?

[mintymint]

@david: yes.. partially i guess.. 

@bulbapuck:

use the hint from the game, and look at leon's clue on your post on the completed game announcements

anyway, i'm stuck at the room with the frame with inscription, clue anyone?

i guess to replace those numbers with letters, but it doesn't really works..

[Snake]

Alright, this is driving me crazy. I'm still stuck. I guess I'm more blind than I thought. Everyone seems to be getting the first one after a couple hints, but I can't be arsed to figure it out for myself.

[mintymint]

Snake,

concentrate only at the first statement that appears when you type 'repeat'

[Leon]

@David:
Yes you are..

but try to say it in other words...

@Mintymint:
There are more of those... can you tell me which one?

@Snake:
Like I said:

Take the first line of the riddle very literally.

[david]

@leon

thanks as Englsh is not my first language, I always use the word as i said before  

But with a closer look you can see clearly what the word is.

Thanks again

the next riddle is far too simple for me because I know this  

[Leon]

The third is a very famous one... But count very carefully.  ;-)

[Domithan]

I'm simply couldn't resist riddles 3 and 4, they're classics

[Crimson Wizard]

Damn you, I finally got the answer to first one.
It took few tries though, I did not write full answer at first.

Snake, just in case you got same problem using all those hints above -

@Snake:
Like I said:

Take the first line of the riddle very literally.

The first line is the very really absolutely first line of the riddle. Just do what it sais.

[david]

The next one is

never

Now the evil one is on
Enjoying it   

[Domithan]

I'm REALLY glad you like it! I'll be sure to make a sequel if it's well liked.

Always remember that you can type 'hint' if you're stuck! That is, until the end portion of the game. For the last several riddles your character will be too spent by the difficulty of the riddles and nasty atmosphere of the mansion to be of any help. Even if what he says doesn't sound like a hint, it's very possible that the hint you're reading is a riddle of its own.
