for that problem: use the coordinates back on the page where it says you needed a map. the coordinates match up with letters. which spell the word[/color]


anyway, I'm glad you guys are still working on the riddle, and i think you've devised a way to mantain the integrity of the game. I'm still trying to enter the mansion myself, but i guess I'm just too distracted right now.

Mmm.. I also want to know how to solve that one...

Edit: Thanks Gale, tested it.. and got the right word...

Edit 2: Now maybe someone can explain or give a hint how to solve riddle 19 (Hall 2)

Note: Working on riddle 30 myself... I got some numbers and a file... but not sure how to use them.. yet...

For 30:

I've got the britain egg(which is basically spelled out for you) and The Voice egg(from the britain egg hint). Haven't seen any numbers, is there a third egg?

The "voice egg" contains four numbers... that's the one I'm trying to figure out right now...

can someone give me a link to the level they're on? I left, come back to "thelakeisfar" and it tells me not to cheat...

Just redo what you did to come up with "thelakeisfar" in the first place, and you have the answer.

And Gale: It may seem tough to enter the mansion but I assure you its not that tough.

So I am on 29, and I am totally lost. I've tried everything.

I just can't figure it out.

i see the int n and w=n then l=n and the print l but i don't know if that is part of a hint or if its just there to throw me off.

Ive gotten through almost all the levels by myself, and now I am stumped...please help!

S is to skull what M is to moon, what is W and L?

S and M are the first letters of skull and moon, and I've tried everything, i just can't get W and L.

I just can't contemplate what the answer is.

Hi, everyone! :smile:

I am working on Dracula's riddle for a while, and found this thread. It really helped me at lvl 20 and 24, I was pretty :confused: there.

Now I'm trying to listen to the voice from lvl 30. As I'm not a native English speaker, it's really hard for me to understand what it says. Please, can you give me a little nudge?

Thanks. :smile:

<edit>Nevermind, I got it!</edit>

It's so quiet here! :biggrin: Noone is still solving this riddle or have you decided to talk only by PMs? Just wondering... :smile:

I'm on lvl 32 and it gives me headaches :confused: Does anyone want to talk about it?
 
  • #563
I haven't figured oth riddle 30 yet, all I have is the audiofile with something sounding like "Volenca" or "fallen God" and the numbers in the ID tag of the file: 10,94,12,20.

Hints are welcome...

It is not important what the voice says.
Transpose the matrix you've found :wink:

Lvl 32: I would also welcome a small hint about what the comment means (last line in source). :smile:

You have no idea how to transpose a matrix, or you have no idea which is the matrix? :smile:

Boxcutter, what shall I do to get a small hint on level 32? I was going in circles till I got dizzy...

Tried google? :biggrin: Just write the rows as columns, and vice versa.
 
  • #571
I give up on this one, can't solve it.

a_moron said:

Don't! :smile: Read the numbers you have, by column. Group them properly... they have a significance :wink:
 
  • #573
OK been away from a while?

Kudos Gale: the roots go home the roots=source code----> home=home page, thanks for the hints, once I got that it was straight forward, would of taken me decades to think of that.:smile:

Next level was straight forward, am now on Berkely mansion I'm not sure what level number that is, in fact how do you tell, I'm confused by looking back as I'm not sure where you guys are, or if your even still here. Anyway, if I get anything I'll put it up.

Looking back it's 29.

attaints, looked up the definition:-

1. To impart stigma to; disgrace: “No breath of calumny ever attainted the personal purity of Savonarola” (Henry Hart Milman).
2. To pass a sentence of attainder against.
3. Archaic. To infect or corrupt, as with illness or vice.
4. Archaic. To accuse.

wonder if it's a clue or just an act of misdirection? The definition of venerableness is interesting too, I just thought it meant age. English is such a rich tongue :smile:

Not sure if it's ok to put up this level but I think most of us are beyond or on it?

I don't think so Kaya, people seem to be stuck on different levels, and are probably trying hard to figure it out before they as for a tip, I could be wrong though I've been out of the loop for a week or so.

link it I'll see if I can remember. I think we might of cheated a little someone accidently got to hall 3 and worked it out from there, if my memory serves me right.

I'm still waiting for a pm on how they got haven from the cards, that was nifty but perplexing :smile:

Haven from the cards? Could you give me a riddle number? Haven came from the difference between have been and be. The one with the cards was steal.

When you get the correct numbers by tranposing the matrix and then reading down by column, and you concentrate on what the numbers could mean, you will see.

10
94
12
20
Is this the correct order??
If it is... i don't know what to do with them...

That's the source, what am I missing? that spells the answer?
 
  • #587
A_moron, though I am not on that riddle (still on torment), the numbers look like a date, April 20, 1912. Here's some links:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=April+20,+1912

So...since I helped you...oh. wait, Omega helped. darn.. still. can I get another hint for torment? I got nothing...

Search for the significance of that date.

Aah, finally, thank you!
 
  • #592
Hello all, thanks for your help. Me and my mates got stuck on 27 for a long while back there, you helped us out by having us look somewhere we totally neglected. We are currently on 29 and still trying to find an answer. Hopefully we can be of some help to you all.
 
  • #593
29...

yeah me and ravenxii really could use a good hint for 29 we just can't quite get it and we have been on it for a good part of today...

Hey guys, I am stuck on no. 29 and am looking for a lil hint as to what the answer might be..

I'd be happy to contribute my help ( though limited it may be) on future puzzles etc etc...
 
  • #596
a_moron said:

yeah I saw that but I still can't figure it out. Is it just something I am missing does the int n and w = n and l = n have anything to do with it? has anyone figured this one out logically or just guessed it?
 
  • #597
ok we got 29, and I agree Omega, what an obvious answer :S I wanted to kick myself...lol

on to 30 ! :D

Don't think the "int n" was there before...
anyway.. I think it was Omega 6 that wrote a hint that made me solve that one...
If someone can explain how to solve it, please do so..
I know what letters to pick from the text on the picture... "EACH UNTRUTH ATTAINTS LIFE'S VENERABLENESS" , and I know the system to pick them..
But I don't know how to get that from the clues...
best clue I can give you is the one in my post above... if you don't want the answer right away...

yeah by pure guessing i finally got it. But we just figured out how do logically...

yep level 29 is meesed up the clue is wrong it should read
s is to skull as o is to moon,

a better clue would be
s is to skull as o is to moon, so...
would be better
