GAH!!! I'm going insane over the gargoyle page with the gibberish in groups of five.... I know what cypher to use, but I've typed in every keyword I can possibly imagine, and still nothing. Do I have to solve each word individually? Or in sections? It always seems the pages I can't solve myself... are the ones no one posts hints for Bang Head Cursing
Um, let's just say you should be familiar with this cipher and its key.

 		Im on the one with the roaches. Any help?

I've already mapped it out, but to no avail. I have the stops, the paths, and well, I don't see anything coming out of it.

Hint please?

EDIT: nvm, I finally realized what I wasn't seeing!

Now I'm on the gargoyle one! Razz

EDIT: and now I'm done and onto the creepy girl with the glowing eyes. I need help here.

I've decoded it, and I've got coordinates that point to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tower of london, specifically on top of the execution block area
but I've tried several different things and I can't come up with a valid answer.

 		Something about Eva...
I've scanned through all 20-odd pages of this thread for help with the EVA alphabet cipher (before the crazy circles).

I know where the alphabet comes from, and how to decode it.
I did so and got random letters, which someone hinted to shift.

Which I did.
And got incomplete English that doesn't give me any solutions.


... Help, please?

And does anyone have the whole thing typed out of EVA and into letters? If so, I would be more than grateful to have it. I only did the first bit and the red highlight-y part.

EDIT: So I figured out who wrote the text, it's title, &etc, but STILL can't figure it out.

Definitely need help.

If you have looked at a satellite image, then it is a very visual clue. What is the arrow pointing at very specifically?



Edit:
Currently stuck on gas mask man. No idea what the cipher is. Any clues? I know you guys have passed it.

Edit:
Actually, just did it by hand, working out the letters individually. Took time!!!

 		Never mind.

Zephret and I are working together, and we're both nearly done with gasmaskman.

I love cracking these codes.

 		Circles page is KILLING US.

We can't work out if every time you come across a directional glyph, it is turned based on the previous directional glyph or not??

Please help us, this is masochistically evil.

 		alternative way out of glowing eye girl?
there are mulitple references in the decoded glowing eye girl clue to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
hexadecimal and also just hex.....
I wonder if it could make sense to try google earthing the numbers as decimal instead of degrees? This leads to interesting links with a famous book.

Edit: Not that I have found an alternative path out but... the second part of the decoded clue looks like its taken from a line from that same book, a line relating to... hex

 		trip, it IS hex.
You've been using ciphers all along, right?


So use it.
That will show you what you need to know to start solving.

There should be a link to a very helpful pdf either here or Nordinho. Its a pain, but once you get the hang of it, it goes quickly.

We've used it and got the text. Well, Z got the text. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use it and it's random English.

Right now I'm perusing the thread for hints.
Not finding many.

Its not random English if you deciphered it correctly. It explicitly tells you the word to use as the keyphrase. Its the only nonsense word in the plaintext.

Z did something wrong.
Well, here I go with the turning and the writing, I guess.

Reread the pdf before you start. Its very helpful in telling you how to go about starting things.

Also ... what am I supposed to "see" in your avatar?
