I can't understand why Vitality drops so rapidly!I had 20 Vitality, completed a quest giving me 30. By the time I had accepted a new quest and refreshed the page my vitality had dropped to 10. Not being extracted from and not doing any actions....

All forms go through a 10 minute period of regeneration during which time they are vulnerable to vitality drains, shuffling, etc. Others can use their perceive action to find out when that will take place for a particular undead. So if someone found out your regeneration time, they could be responsible for draining your vitality.

Some of that might have been from when you took the quest. "Skeletons get quests for free. For everyone else it consumes vitality (Zombies 2, Ghouls 5 and Wraiths 10)."

The answer to Mother Tongue II is totally spoiled in this very thread.. so I can't see why you're having problems with it.
The Mark, it's really not that difficult if you have google-fu

Here's a hint for "The Mark". Hope that helps!

I'm loving this game. 2 days, and i'm allready at 62nd!

I'm stuck on Abandonment same as everybody else. Me and a few friends are working hard.

Some of our thoughts:
-Perhaps we should check for poems about yearning for home
-Maybe the hint isn't the haiku, but the sentence above it, such as the part about "calling card"

Here's what we've tried. Put up what you can remember trying, if possible:
Cuba
Jail
Japan
Meijin
Maijin Japan
Dungeon
Limbo
Phonebooth
Prison
New York
London



P.S. Greenback is nobody's minion! Surprised Smile

More on the Inferno

I think datruth29 is on the right track with Dante's Inferno.

There are a lot of similarities, including two that weren't mentioned:
- The sign on the gates to Hell reads, "Abandon all hope, you who enter here" syncs nicely with the title of the puzzle.
- Virgil and Dante exit Hell at sunrise on Easter.


Some of the things I have tried:

coffin, sea, airport, sun, grave, tornado, Atlantis, Japan (maybe something to do with Bushido?), Valhalla, orphanage, The House of Usher, Argo, Aeaea, Florence

Inferno related guesses:
Inferno, dante's inferno, Paradiso, purgatorio, purgatory, limbo, Lethe, Hell, hell (does capitalization count?), Hades, Dis, disco inferno


Of course none of these really relate to zombies or, as dmon_man said, where a zombie Paris Hilton would hang out.

Here's a hint for Pyramid:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's not a trick question. Just simple math

The Mark is really easy if you think of what the date was yesterday.
The Movie Hero is equally as easy.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What movie would be a zombie's all time favorite? Think...

If anyone can help me with Fangs for Nothing and Abandonment, I would be a happier wraith...

Oh, I know. I just can't figure out the math I'm supposed to use.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At first, I thought I should add half to the number, IE, 100+Half (50)=150, but 150+Half (75) equals 255. Unless there's rounding involved, this wouldn't work.

Of course, there's also the difference between the numbers and the descrition. The description says that each Zombie would infect more than one person, but only 50 new zombies were infected on the 2nd.


Meh. I'm probably overthinking this.

You are over thinking it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's just asking for when it would go over 1,000,000. It doesnt have to be a perfect calculation, just a right estimate. Like I said in a previous post, I used excel and got this right.
