Back from a long weekend, and after pouring over it for most of the morning, I am still seemingly hopelessly stuck on 53... I've gathered a ton of information but I'm still in the dark. Can anyone jump start my brain for me?

(Omg, I finally got one o.o)

Zarii, I was right, I did get the second letter wrong >< but I knew how to guess for the right letter.
 
  • #1,734
Noooo! I don't want to remember ><

(because I can't..!)

*cling* Zariiiiiii
 
  • #1,735
I don't remember either.. and I'm not good of backtracking because of that :\
 
  • #1,736
Well, I can't backtrack regardless... I'm on a computer at work and it doesn't have anything that far back.


But.. it can't be so far back.. it has to be on these recent sets of riddles, right?

But I don't remember going anywhere that would fit the clue we have...

I had serious trouble backtracking with the lovecraft thingy xD
I rarely save pages here and there so that i can go back so when I backtrack i'll have to start form the beginning or from dabi's path :P
 
  • #1,740
Same here Zarii.. except that since I'm here at work.. I only wrote down the address to the riddle I was currently on.. So, yep ^^ I'm at a standstill myself...

But we can't be backtracking too far

(Hey, I thought we weren't going to have anymore of these riddle types *laughs*)

It has to be somewhere in these lands, right?
