Key clues discussed include "bag zip," which leads to a file containing hints, and various riddles that require players to analyze text closely. Players collaborate by sharing solutions and strategies, often revealing answers to previous levels while seeking help for current challenges. The conversation highlights a mix of problem-solving techniques, including deciphering letters and understanding the significance of certain words or phrases.

Maybe, but I do agree with Gale, because your "vision is diminished by the fog, yet you see too much."

well it says we see too much... so i assume some aren't necessary at all. and some are faded, so i was working with that. and then the url made me think every other, but nothing I've tried works

I played around with the levels on the image to make the dark and light letters more obvious:

The dark letter are:

e, i, a, s, c, o, n, n, u, v, n, r, a ,s ,u, s

The bright letters are:

n, g, m, t, u, e, m, a, l , i, t, o u, t, m, a, e

There 6 bright pairs:

GM, TU, AL, OU, TM, AE

There are 5 bright singles:

N, E, M, I, T

this sucks... no one? anyone have a clue?
 
  • #95
I'm trying. It feels like we are getting close because the riddles have gotten very difficult.
 
  • #96
maybe we're all just tired... this doesn't seem like it should be a hard puzzle.
 
  • #97
Nothing I try seems to make "quite" enough sense...there has to be something else to it. But yes, it feels like we are getting close. This is one of the most entertaining online riddles/puzzles I have ever played.

The bright letters in valnirta spells: tail
The bright letter in contuneum spells: mute
 
  • #99
well what's everyone trying? maybe some of our methods combined will make some more sense? i feel like we're just missing something simple here...

has anyone highlighted the bottom? it says "remove the zeroes" but I tried removing the zeroes in the URL but it told me that I was removing the wrong zeroes..
 
  • #101
yomamma, good find.

Whoa...I can't believe I didn't highlight that. I knew it was strange that it had extra room down there.
 
  • #103
wow, good one! this is the first page i haven't highlighted... curses! so let's see now..
 
  • #104
Has anybody been keeping track of the numbers in the source code...? They were in between comment tags...the one on this level says 12
 
  • #105
yeah, they're the number of the level.
 
  • #106
Based on castlevania 2 ,"13 clues solve Dracula's Riddle." I think we are really close since we are at 12
 
  • #107
oh...I thought I saw 7 several times...

I believe that the 7th riddle had multiple parts.
 
  • #110
Mk, what's your point..?
 
  • #111
Perhaps the X and 0 are alternating bright and dark?
 
  • #112
its alternating something.. but before i even knew about the zeros hint i was trying to cross out every other letter in whatever i did.
 
  • #113
BIG CLUE!

i wrote in eimscnuemvlitosmse which is every other letter of each word, and it says transpose the matric and read row by row
 
  • #114
well, if you alternate letters and erase every other letter starting with #2, you get Eims Otnu Vlit Osmse..
whoops, gale already got it
 
  • #115
Ohh, So close.
 
  • #116
cmon, anyone figure out how the mean to transpose the matrix, nothing i try is working.
 
  • #117
I got it...the anser is evilmistconsumesme.htm[/color]
 
  • #118
well, I'm stumped on level 13...any ideas?
 
  • #119
I think the she that is watching is: Elizaveth Bartley/Bathory

Atleast that's the next enemy on the list. We've already gone through vlad and the grim reaper

I found out that some band "the Jam" has a song called "Wasteland" if that has any meaning
