 		Yeah, I'm starting over, but with a few correct phrases to make sure I'm on the right path.

And it's not what you're supposed to see, it's that you do at all.

 		Okay, need circle help.

I decoded it and got mostly English. The letters that do NOT make sense are supposed to be the key, but the ones I have aren't working for me.

Can I PM someone what I have and they can tell me if I translated the gibberish wrong?

Because I'm this close and it's ridiculously frustrating.

 		alternative way out of glowing eye girl
No I meant google earthing the decoded coordinates as decimals which leads to a place featurred in
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
da vinci code
... The way out which everyone found doesnt really relate that well to the text in the clue so it doesnt look a very clean solve. And I meant that there are 3 referrences to hexadecimal in the clue after its been decoded. Maybe there's an alternative approach relating to a book on religious themes as there was for another page earlier on in the game
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
but this time relating to hexagrams
. Its just a thought

That's really fascinating! I love these alternative paths, and that's a great find!

I wonder if there's something you can type as a solution that will get you somewhere? Sometimes it's taken me forever to guess which thing-on-the-map is what grngecko wants typed.

 		I'm rotting.

Everything is decoded and I've recorded all the rot numbers for each line, and I've even figured out which numbers aren't used - but I can't figure out the solution.

I need a hint, I think.

It probably doesn't help that I undertook this level on my own since Z is MIA, and that it's very late in the evening.

Either way, help please?

Oh thanks for replying Elvedon, the funny part is that I had never even read that book I mentioned, the clues just repeatedly took me to it, if you visit those coordinates you'll hopefully see what I mean, two references right there.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And as for the decoded clue, well the second half is virtually a quote from a line in that book. And the common thread seems to be hexagrams. Three references to them in the decoded clue alone (as well as the various hexadecimal references, how did he squeeze all that into one sentence)
Cant help but wonder if the generally accepted answer for this page mightn't be the ultimate answer since it doesnt seem a great match with the clue. Anyway I know fuck all about puzzles so I wouldnt place much weight on my thoughts.
Ha funny side note, one of the anagrams of "hexagrams" sounds rather like gas mask"

Cheers

I like the thinking outside of the box here. However, I can't seem to work out any keyphrase that unlocks an alternate path using this line of thought. If you come up with anything, let us know.

 		Per elvedon's suggestion, I've made a collaborative document on Google where all still attempting the blocks can work together without having to worry about spoiler tags and posting too much information. If you wish to be added, PM me the address of the block page to prove you've gotten that far and an email where I can send the collaboration invite. I'll add you as soon as I get it.

 		I am now on the gas mask man and the letter blocks.
Is that where everyone else is?

Cause I'm there and pretty much stumped.

 		And now I'm on the wooden blocks.

Someone add me to the group, because I have an idea as to what those bunnies mean.
