Seeeeeeeecrets!

would seem it was a little bit of both, :smile:
just slightly confusing thinking it’s “all set” and then have “it all” sneakily update on your arse :wink:
also, (probably because i wasn’t here for the other secrets participation), thinking “something” is a solo affair, to then have it turn out to maybe not so much be the case, was no less confusing either lol :joy:
but i really must say i appreciate you “highlighting” a path, and to the “fellowship”, so some of these “issues” became clearer

and PS, WHO THE HEEEEELL COMES UP WITH THESE SECRETS/RIDDLES?!?!? :dizzy_face:,
-this is not your average gnome iq stuff, this seems like some dank Mr. Robot lvl brain powah goin’ on in here,
don’t know what’s scarier, the effort put in this, showing some serious community love,
or if “effortless”; scarily confirms whatever cats you got running around the office, -definitely is slated for world domination with their telepathy and mind control :cold_sweat:

if this gets much harder though, i definitely will have to bow out,
don’t think i’ve put this much effort into getting a headache to figure stuff out in a long time, too many cobwebs clogging up the upstairs machinery today i think, -to take fully part in this if these sneaky keep increasing in sneakiness :smile:

(really appreciate all of this tho, damn amazing thing to do and offer to a “store” community", lovin it!, even if i’ll never solve it to the end) :smiley:

Well i have been trying to solve this one on my own and have got through the first 4 puzzles. I really liked the scrap of paper one, really made me think and do research to put the puzzle pieces together and then go a couple of layers deep to figure it, nice!

Edit: make that 5, took me a few seconds to figure wielding wordplay

I hate the picture ones (I know what I can see, what they represent, just don’t know the exact word for the answer), and whilst I know what the chiseled tree is hinting at, even translating everything and checking number counts yields me nothing…

I think i am very close to solving the tree one now, it just involves some research, start with the top word in google translate and then go down the rabbit hole.
Edit: Ok done with that one, only the one about the pictures on the desk to go, I know what its alluding to but I cant figure out what it wants me to put in

work out the top one and go down.

and google who they are

OK solved all for now, time to sleep

OK…not sure I have the self esteem for this. Perhaps I’m greek mythologising in the wrong place (or am just bad with children), perhaps my constellations are all messed up, perhaps my telescope is broken. Or perhaps I just think funny…either way since I’m not actually going to win anything maybe I’ll just give up…

you are on the right track, you just have to find the right name and make the numbers add up.

and its not a winning thing, we have no idea what happens at the end. its certainly not a race though, because we’re expected to trade ingredients with each other.

Yeah, well, I’m obviously missing something because having gone through what seems like a billion offspring (wow was she pregnant a lot!) only 2 of the 4 add up. And I still hate picture puzzles.

ahem…
i know i’m just a gnome… and i know that doesn’t leave much extra room for enlightened higher greymatter functions
but swapping Stigma for Sigma, is bloody mean!, and i’d all most call shenanigans at the county fair, -if i hadn’t figured out how this stall was rigged :triumph:

(now i want a teddy)

I hate you stupid pictures.

Edit - Changed my mind. All done and I’m happy.

Although despite 2 pages of ingredients I still haven’t managed to make a single potion up yet. Lots of dupes.

And the ARG is finished, we see what is happening tonight at the start on the next deal when the chronomicon opens

aww, you guys managed to not only finally unlock the last rune, but feed it enough potions to open too, all after i went to bed?, i didn’t even get to feed it a new potion/last time :worried:
(i’m guessing people really rushed to when they saw it was the last one lol)
what do i do with my leftover “stuff” now?? :confused:

:thinking:
:japanese_ogre: ? think i’ll try “her” just for giggles then :smile:

So I haven’t been able to make any elixirs at all (but for some reason I have a metric tonne of frogspawn, spiderweb and mandrake root…perhaps my question answering abilities cursed me). Do I assume that they’re even more useless now than they were before and are no good to anyone else too?

It seems so, its all done

OK…paging brainiacs…it’s some kind of cryptic word search where the remaining letters are the answer (that’s my best guess anyway). So, I take out cat (or even lion) and silver and then???

notice something oddly strange about the words?
how their “length” seems strangely deliberate/calculated maybe? :thinking:

No.

look again maybe :wink:
