Hey, where are we?

Greg, I'm on 60 and waiting for Zarii to come find me (she's on 59).

I'm clueless when it comes to puzzles without someone to bounce an idea off of... and this new puzzle is making me screwy @.@
 
  • #1,774
Alright, so how about a hint on 56?
 
  • #1,775
I'm going to have to say that 56, 'The Wall' is aptly named. I've exhausted every combination of names that I found readily. Back to the drawing board.
 
  • #1,776
once you hit a wall it might be smart to turn back
 
  • #1,777
*tugs on Greg's line* Greg! I need you too!

*whimpers* I don't feel safe here all alone...

*nibbles at her taco as she looks over the clues again*





Hmm.. I have an answer that should make sense... but it doesn't work!

*flails*

*tugs on everyone else's lines*
 
  • #1,780
Oh man. 56 just got a LOT more complicated...
 
  • #1,781
xD told you it was confusing
 
  • #1,782
How are u doing on the riddle Greg and where is omega and.. everybody else? :|
 
  • #1,783
Zarii, I'm back to not knowing what to do on 60.. I ended up with another thought for 'The Graveyard Of Dead End Thinking'...

Still glaring at the screen.. I have a right mind to punch that guy so he'll take us across *laughs*


But didn't my thought seem to make sense Zarii?
 
  • #1,784
Your idea was great.. darn shame that it didn't work :\
 
  • #1,785
Aside from that idea I bounced off of you.. I'm getting nothing so far...

You?
 
  • #1,786
The white and black shadow thingy behind the letters..
maybe that's what the mysterious shadows and glancing lights have in common

Edit: I believe that we have to work with these letters somehow

Ok, so on 56 (spoilers possible for those still on the riddle. Even if you think you know everything, you very likely do not.)
<So I've located all three instances of the wall. The only differences between the three walls that are immediately apparent are the words on the bricks, and the fact that one of them has the words "It is their creation..." printed beneath them. I'm fairly confident that I can deduce an answer from all of this, I think the trick is going to be where to actually type the answer. I'm thinking either back on #54, or on the wall with the "It is their creation..." printed.[/color]>

Anyways, headed home now, more work tomorrow.
 
  • #1,789
hmm i just got back home..i had to go somewhere...but I am back, I am at the relic (57)...but i can't see to solve the old mans riddle
 
  • #1,790

  • #1,791
At least he tried ^^ That's a good thing.

Well Zarii.. I'm positively stumped... there must be something we're missing...
 
  • #1,792
oh my...is 60 going to be the new 56?
 
  • #1,793
k so i have all of 56 and 55. i know what the words are, but somehow the answers that make sense are not working, anyone have any idea what I am missing?
 
  • #1,794
Probably not Iggy.. 56 was definitely the stumper.. I think me and Zarii have the answer, but we just don't know how to.. uh... see how it's the answer ^^;
 
  • #1,795

  • #1,796
