I personally am shocked...:smile: Actually I've been beginning to think that...but it would be the riddle's victory over me.

So Gokul, I think that you shouldn't share for the sake of integrity.
 
You folks are not the first, or the second to have that thought.

I'll keep that in my pocket ...till all else fails...
 
i knew i couldn't be the only one... this puzzle is just so obscure. like that mountain one. i know I'm not going to be the one to solve this.

i need more clues arrrg!
 
The more I look at the picture the more it seems like the angels are holding a three pointed crown. On the right it is a male angel and on the left it is a female angel.

Maybe Gokul got it right and this is a red herring, it's awfully red :smile:

EDIT: I'm sure those angels are pointing to a hole in the roof? Is that a hole, and the first king is looking at it, I think I'm grasping at straws?

Holy cow !

Does everyone else see the "spelling is important" written across the top of the walls ?

I was just fooling around with different guesses, and when I came back to hall1 I found the above text scrawled on the walls, and I could've sworn they weren't there before !

Edit : Okay, I'm not sure how it happened but I've got it...I'm in hall 2 now. The hint is in what I wrote above.

if you press refresh F5 it appears, good job there.
 
I think I posted the answer to hall 2 before, but let's try and crack it afresh...
 
It looks like there's an apostrophee after spelling' I have no idea why? Spellings?
 
<<The freaking URL - it says "boldey" instead of "bodley" [/color] >> ...fix it !
 
nice :) 10 chars
 
what is that?

anyway, the text now looks like roman numerals.
 
dd : that isn't actually hall3 ...it's outside hall3.
 
What I think I see :

DIT%o0iXPih - on left wall

[itex]\infty \Delta[/itex] %oOzXDih - right wall

And there's 2 D I 's below them.

Agree/disagree ?
 
dd: I know that's the answer, but how did you solve it ?
 
Roman numeral conversion (based on the hall3 picture). Basically it was close enough to the number.

[Edit] It was a complete and lucky guess

But what about all the crazy text in hall2 ?

Anyway, have you vanquished him ?

PS : I can no longer open the hall3.jpg url that dd just posted.
 
And lucifer doesn't work...so what other names does he have ? Abaddon ? Belial ? Nope...

Also, did you see text saying something like "if you've come here from level 16, you're on the wrong track" ?
 
I've tried a bunch of alternative names but it isn't vanquishing him.

[edit] Yes, I saw that message too., but we were past level 16, so it must be ok.
 
yeah i think the creater is fixing it while we're playing hah. wonder if he's perusing this thread to see what we've done.
 
Not apollyon, not beelzebub...
 
Maybe it is boxcutter's creation after all, and s/he's just messing with us !
