when we got to the ice wall, ice.gif, the morse code said;

"number one fifth line last word".

the labyrinth.jpg file we found inside 100709.gif reads;

"#1 - the labyrinth
there is no time; only the labyrinth
no light, no dark. no day, no night
i rest when i am tired and my body trembles
i rise when i am awakened by nightmares"

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
#1, fifth line, last word therefore gets "nightmares". Using s-tools on ice.gif with the password "nightmares" reveals cavemap.gif


now for the second of many...

Good job for resolving these enigmas.

That'd be very nice Smile

Excellent work Laink!! Good stuff. I'd hazard a guess it might be Moche's mask, as his trait was survival, but I'll food around in sTools if I can find the time and see if anything comes up.

UPDATE: Tried it on all the mask images, the background, the inventory items, and a number older images, nothing so far. So either Laink got it wrong or "survive" is supposed to be used for something else.

Morse code of ice.gif :

"listen close
inside the ice you may find
the first of six
inside the first of six you may find
the second of many"

SO,
In ice.gif we found the first of six, which is cavemap.gif
In cavemap.gif, we found the second of many, which is "survive", for the moment.

Umpteenth Edit: Imagine my surprise all this excitement and triumph, then clicking the link above to realize it's already been done. Hell.

I tried "Survive" as a password to every picture I could think of, but it doesn't work.

Looking at #2 now:

Quote:

#2 -
He can
the entire battle
i could survive


It appears garbled. I think the words are in an incorrect order, and it needs to be re-arranged. (Also note capitalization of "He" but nothing else again.)

Once the words are arranged in their correct order, then we will have the right word in place.

Or we could just try every word in there as a potential password XD.

Lemme give it a shot:

He could survive
the entire battle
i can

i can survive
the entire battle
He could

he could survive
the entire battle
can i (?)

i can survive
the entire battle
could He (?)

Idk, just a thought.

UPDATE: I was right. Put in random words when I got frustrated, "battle" is the password to open cave.gif in S-Tools. TexRipley beat me to the punch by a few seconds though, lol.

Unlocks Him.txt. Looks like the original text for #2, with all the words in place and in the right order:

Quote:

#2 - Him
He cannot know
because knowing is the entire battle
if He knew, i could never survive

He created this place
because He wanted to be rid of me
if He knew, i could never go home



Also, second of six, six lines. I think we're back on track here guys!

Before :

"#2 -
He can
the entire battle
i could survive"

Now :

#2 - Him
He cannot know
because knowing is the entire battle
if He knew, i could never survive

Added words :

Him
not know
because knowing is
if he knew never

Maybe an anagram ?

WE DID IT.

After figuring out how to get Him.txt (though not figuring it out first), we came to the conclusion that Him.txt was NOT "2 of 6", but simply "2 of many". I figured, and agreed, that 2 of 6 was probably another map.

After that, our resident master puzzle solver TexRipley spent some time on the mask with the clock/wheel on it, having come up with the letters IWEK. It was at this point it occured to him, after trying every combination of letters, to change the caps, giving him IweK.

Put in to STools, he unlocked morse.gif from the mask with the wheel thingy on it (threes2.gif).

However, the morse gif consisted of large, blotchy dots and dashes that didn't line up in any conceivable order. We where stymied until mEP took the use of masks literally, then using MSPaint (tool of champions), managed to remove the excess white pixels, giving us something legible that translated to "Insidious".

I determined that, coming from morse code, Insidious must be the password for the mask with the morse code on it (Fives2.gif). This in turn unlocked Maptwo.gif (or, our Second of Six maps.).

We all quickly determined that maptwo had to be applied over the mask that had the letter grid (fours2.gif). This gave us the letters that resolved to SQUARE, which gave us a text document with additional alternate letters to accompany U and V, E and N.

U=0230
N=0181
E=0197
V=0191

This allowed us to (using alt+num codes) tranlate the gibberish on the last mask (twos.gif). Which gave us the word "Uneven", solving all the mask puzzles and completing Test #2!!

Now we have Test3.txt, which tells us when to expect the next test:
