okey.. The painting is missing, and we are probably not searching for one of lovecrafts creations so.. maybe some creation from a painter or something that was connected to him in some way?
 
  • #1,413
Hmm... I may have found something... but.. it may be another dead end... Will probe further!

Go down till you see the photo of Lovecraft's family monument

The thing is I don't even know if we should be following Lovecraft. That isn't clear.

Indeed. What is missing? Obviously a way through the wall...a door...whatever is missing. There is no bg sound (but that wasn't in some of the previous ones. I assume that "he has many names" is referring to lovecraft. Dark is written on the wall...It is their creation...

i ran through this line while looking for the name in 55. then i saw your post omega. see if this could help. i actually don't know what you guys are talking about cos I am not progressing in anyway on #55.

"Trouble with memory. I see things I never knew before. Other worlds and other galaxies... Dark... The lightning seems dark and the darkness seems light..." (from 'The Haunter of the Dark')

  • #1,431
I guess soon I will have to change the clues for 56. I will not do it yet though. I still believe in you!
 
  • #1,432
Hey boxcutter, have you completed simons quest? And if so then you are a god because that game is ridiculously hard ;)
 
  • #1,433
anbuiruka: actually I completed it when I was around 7 - 8 years old.
The game is easy because you have unlimited continues :)
 
  • #1,434
Dangit...I think I'm on the trail.. I'm just finding it hard to find this one thing I'm looking for *grumbles*

Tomorrow morning... it shall be done! *snores*

boxcutter: I am done reading all the articles about lovecraft. somehow this lead me to read one of stephen king's fictional characters. am i getting too far from the answer or am i getting there?
This character apparently has many names and one of his stories is somewhat related to lovecraft.

EDIT: and he had a series with dark in the title
 
  • #1,436
isn't there a chance that this clue has nothing to do with lovecraft?
 
  • #1,437
ei reggie, what have you got so far? just got back.
 
  • #1,438
@56

request to boxcutter: if you are to add or change the clues, please don't do it in the picture (.jpeg file) cos some browsers are not able to open the source from the picture file. thanks.

we'll get this one...but I am not sure if its going to be me. :cry:
 
  • #1,439
reggie: should we concentrate more on the "dark" and find out what's missing? i found randall flag aka dark man, char from the dark tower. also, i found out that lovecraft painted a dark picture which is actually missing in the picture.

BUT sad to say, that's not it.

speedy: for 53. if you use windows you can right-click the jpeg file and select "properties" and there will be info about the file there.

yup, i know. but I am using apple with safari browser and it won't show. then i downloaded a firefox browser and all the letters were in a mess. but that's ok. i got past that level thru the help of some friends. :biggrin:
