so gokul's already been to the third hall eh...

I personally am shocked... 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.

 

[Gokul43201]

You folks are not the first, or the second to have that thought.

I'll keep that in my pocket ...till all else fails...

 

[Gale]

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!

 

[dduardo]

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.

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

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

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?

 

[Gokul43201]

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.

 

[dduardo]

what did you enter that caused that?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

if you press refresh F5 it appears, good job there.

 

[Gokul43201]

I think I posted the answer to hall 2 before, but let's try and crack it afresh...

 

[Gale]

whats spelled wrong?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

It looks like there's an apostrophee after spelling' I have no idea why? Spellings?

 

[Gokul43201]

<<The freaking URL - it says "boldey" instead of "bodley" >> ...fix it !

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

nice :) 10 chars

 

[dduardo]

[Gale]

what is that?

anyway, the text now looks like roman numerals.

 

[Gokul43201]

dd : that isn't actually hall3 ...it's outside hall3.

 

[dduardo]

666.htm

less then 10 char

 

[Gokul43201]

What I think I see :

DIT%o0iXPih - on left wall

$\infty \Delta$ %oOzXDih - right wall

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

Agree/disagree ?

 

[Gokul43201]

dd: I know that's the answer, but how did you solve it ?

 

[dduardo]

Roman numeral conversion (based on the hall3 picture). Basically it was close enough to the number.

[Edit] It was a complete and lucky guess

 

[dduardo]

next couple:

devil.htm, then demon.htm

This will get you to the third hall

 

[Gokul43201]

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.

 

[dduardo]

It was: http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/bodley/hall3.jpg

Now it's: http://www.draculasriddle.co.uk/bodley/thelasthall3.jpg

 

[dduardo]

Hmm, that's odd, both devil and satan get you to the same place.

 

[Gokul43201]

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" ?

 

[dduardo]

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.

 

[Gale]

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.

 

[Gokul43201]

Not apollyon, not beelzebub...

 

[Gokul43201]

Maybe it is boxcutter's creation after all, and s/he's just messing with us !

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Doing it too name wise, red devil? hmmm.. maybe it's a name in roman terms hence the numerals, but that makes little sense and what is 1 5 10 50 100 500 and is there any significance? Hades nope?

 

[Gokul43201]

Well, the first time I came here (see a couple pages ago, in this thread), I think it was from level16 or 17 ! And that was just a fluke.

It sure looks like this game is changing as we play it...hmmm ! There's going to be some explaining due at some point...

 

[Gale]

the roman numerals mean 666

 

[dduardo]

In the comments it says:

<!-- It's his number -->

You got the numbers backwards. String them together, and they make 666.

PS : Not beast, thebeast,...
