Mysteries of the Monolith - Ended!

[Bluebellie]

my frustration doing this for an hour straight on my little phone screen was unreal lol

But this is so organized!
I had to scrap mine half way through because I couldn’t understand what my key was from all my mess.

Spoiler

sadly, there’s like two more pages of chicken scratch that aren’t shown.

Well done to the evil lovely @Mistreil for well and truly tricking me! I deciphered the code but I'm glad it wasn't a submission answer as I was completely off on the wrong track! I could kick myself, the answer was there all the time! In all seriousness though, you are extremely talented! I will be back for Round 4 and hopefully solve that one!

 

[Liz!]

I would have never, ever gotten this if the clue with greetings wasn't given.
Once I realised that was the first word, it just rolled out.
I did start off thinking I had to write the whole thing in the redeem box though.

 

[Giddy]

Yeah, nah. Never realised the first word was greetings. Then again I didn’t have much time to really focus on this in the first place, not like I would have realised Greetings would have helped understand the code, otherwise I would have been all on that, figuring it out.
But this did look fun, maybe another time I’ll get to solve something like this.

 

[Venn]

Glad that I was able to solve this! However, I am afraid for the next one if it going to be a decipher again.
I have a feeling what kind it will be, and I pray that it won't be that.

 

[nightglow]

aw, I missed a couple of those search graph things. I hope there will be more in the future! I really liked those in past events.

 

[kikotoot]

So soon!

♟Round 4 ♟​

As the previous message disappears from the monolith, you feel a sort of tickle by your shoes, and a glimmer in your peripheral vision. At your feet are a collection of papers, none of which seem particularly intelligible. But something, or someone, seems to tell you that these hold the key to leaving the forest.

What spell(s) did they have to cast to get home?​

• Spelling matters: we will not accept answers that have slight differences in letters. No exceptions will be made for typos or misspellings of any sort!
• Order matters: if there were 3 spells used named "Abra", "Kadabra", and "Alakazam", then the order "Abra Kadabra Alakazam" is different from "Alakazam Abra Kadabra".
• Spacing and capitalization does not matter: in the above example, we would accept "abrakadabraalakazam", "Abra Kadabra Alakazam", and so on.

​

ight imma head out

 

[skarmoury]

was hoping it was clue i could solve on my phone since im on a roadtrip but nevermind LMAO good luck to everyone running for first!

 

[LambdaDelta]

'ykawld' a qsjal' sounds weirdly insulting

 

[Sheep Villager]

Can Europeans have two pixels of an Enchanted Bloom as a consolation prize for having to deal with this in the dead of night.

Same here lol - opened it in a notes app and closed it again after 30 seconds. This will have to wait until I have paper and pen (and when it’s not 12am).

 

[xSuperMario64x]

oh boy here goes another hour of deciphering lol

at least this time I can use my computer and drawing tablet

 

[S.J.]

I forgot today was new mystery day, and now I'm late. Guess I'll start now!

 

[kikotoot]

I was hasty and misread one of words I wrote down oof, should've checked my work first, this was not that simple
edit: double wait, triple checked and think it might be ok!

 

[IonicKarma]

ok submitted, either im right or i made a silly spelling mistake somewhere hopefully that doesn't cost me orz

 

[kikotoot]

Whoever came up with the concept for this one, props to you! (I'm guessing Mistreil?)
edit: still with goosebumps phew. I *really* should have checked my work more and recklessly guessed less, but my fingers are crossed
ty Mistreil for the really clever puzzle! this was one of the most exciting singular TBT moments for me tbh

 

[~Kilza~]

Would've gotten it a lot faster if I didn't miss a key detail until like midway through solving it, oh well. At least I know for certain I got it right.

 

[nightglow]

I am curious to see what this actually is because I have no idea or I am not understanding it. Well best guess sent Good luck everyone.
