Nice work on the maze of streets!
Time to go back.

You can get another clue for The Bridge by completing Colorful Autumn.
Just keep clicking in a special order.

A lightbulb just went off in my head - I'm probably way off beam but here goes nothing...

(Thanks by the way!)

Edit - Aw nuts! No progress still! I tried
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
clicking on the symbols in the order they appear in the zodiac
but no joy. (Not sure why I spoilered that since it's wrong but hey, I might be close!)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Did the Zodiac Killer assign signs of the zodiac to each of his victims and I have to click in the order he killed them? I hope not because I haven't found an article which suggests he did yet...


Please stop me if I'm going in utterly the wrong direction here...

Success!!

I technically had the right order, just the wrong starting point.

I now have all the clues (I think) for that damn bridge...

Stuck at Glimmering Road

Have completed the path to Misty Clues and the third Crossroads but stuck at Glimmering Road, Sounds in the Rye and Lonely Station.

Glimmering Road
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
think I have the non-obvious numbers, cancer - 69, DCLXVI - 666 and F498 - 62616? (hexadecimal to decimal). I count 20 six's but it's obviously wrong? Just realized you can click on 1666 so I have some more work to do, lol.

Lonely Stations
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Seems like there can only be two different sets of possible answers here. Do I subtract the answer from the original and put in that set of numbers? Doesn't seem to work?


Hints welcome, thanks in advance Fredo

Thanks

Glimmering Road - yes, more work yet I'm afraid!

Lonely Station -
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's not a set of numbers you out in, you need to convert to letters...

The Bridge

Getting very frustrated with this now. I have the two clues (I assume there are only two) and have done what seems logical but I've had no joy...

What I've tried:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've allocated K, L and M to be the three rings (K innermost) and rotated them according to the numbers I got in the cabin. I've tried both clockwise and anticlockwise being positive. One attempt allowed me to read 'TERROR' but this yields nothing and the rest was gibberish.


Am I barking up the wrong tree or is there something obvious I've missed?

Thanks in advance...

Never mind, got it now! Was ignoring something obvious!

Can't seem to get the ferryman to cooperate now even though I have all the information, hmmm...

Scrap that - chapter 3 here I come!

EDIT - update on current progress, any help on any of the following welcome;

Tormented Screams (no clue at all currently)
Rainbow Waters
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Seems to have some link to primes, don't know if I'm missing some information but I can't get my head round it yet.

Falling Leaves (still trying things, haven't completely run out of ideas yet)
Hazy Blocks (struggling to make a start on this one)
Nailed Shut Farm (assuming there's a link to something I found in the Forest Maze but can't come up with a solution yet)
Descending Sun (Seems to be wordplay?)
Aurora Borealis (Presumably I have yet to come across the necessary clue in Strawberry Fields)
Red Path 2 (I'm hoping this becomes clearer if I can get through Tormented Screams)

Any help welcome, although I'm hoping this sparks my brain as much as anything!

Well I'm stuck on Colorful Autumn.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I tried their order on the zodiacal chart, forward and backward. I knew alphabetical ordering wasn't right but I tried it anyway, forwards and backwards. I tried the order they appear in wingdings. I actually don't know who "he" is. Googling brings up the Zodiac killer but he didn't use those symbols as a signature. He used one symbol as a signature.


Help please.

I am stuck in chapter 3 in the following places:



Cruma Forest - Calm Streams (tried multiple variants, nothing passes)
White Mist Woods - Deep in the Mist - no clue...
the red path - I wonder if I have all the info necessary
The Grave - just don't know what shall be the solution - HIS name???
Tormented Screams - no clue...
Strawberry Fields/../Void
Aurora Borealis - miss something from Strawberry Fields, seemingly
solved
Rainbow Waters:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
decompose the numbers to primes; use "prime" colors (red, yellow, blue, brightness) to get letters

Falling Leaves :
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the top row is a "code", or "instructions" for bottom one - each pair shows how the corresponding letter in bottom row to be translated with the rings


Hazy Blocks:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Note that each value for red columns have a corresponding doubled value for some green column... you are to move the green blocks so as they are above the corresponding red ones, than read


Descending Sun:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

word (letter) play - sure


Nailed Shut Farm

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
another magic square - no external hints

Steppinwolf if I could get to where you are I'd be happy to help Smile

I am not getting any help from anywhere on Colorful Autumn. I am hopelessly stuck it seems.

Help!

ETA

Nevermind. Got it

The Grave

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It is a name you're looking for, but not the one on the grave if that's what you mean. As far as I'm aware that's irrelevant. Try reading the phrases out loud...

Ok, have now made good progress thanks to Steppenwolf's guidance.

Stuck on the Fiddler now - my interpretation of the advice I was given earlier is obviously not right as I get lost whichever way I try to read things. Any help gratefully received.

As for Void -
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You've seen those symbols elsewhere, what would you get if you combined the answers to those two puzzles?


Aurora Borealis -
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes, there is something to be found in Strawberry Fields, solving Void will get you there

Ground to a halt

Ok, have completed all of chapter 3 apart from 2 pieces (I think): The Blue Clearing which should become clear if I can only get past the damn Calm Streams.

I've tried writing out what I believe to be the formulae for each component and attempting to simplify. I'm currently having no success but I'll persevere. What I've ended up with is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
((m^3)*(s^3))/Kg. Clearly this isn't a real thing but isn't far off a few things - momentum, inertia, work, power, etc.


None of these get me anywhere and I've started trying to guess random answers. Very unsatisfying even if I make it. Any hints??

Happy to offer any help to anyone struggling on something I'm past...
