@qadhos Desperately trying to finish seal 3, but the problem isn't finding the answer; its figuring out the question...

 		On the third puzzle.
This is the strongest lead I have on the third puzzle Hugues Duroy de Chaumareys (Site in French, translate it.) He was born in Vars-sur-Roseix in 1763 and in 1816 he cast off from Rochefort and after wrecking the ship he was in charge of, The Medusa, he was court martialed and imprisoned for 3 years, which means he was released in 1819. the only thing that is missing is something for 1814, but he did interestingly die in 1841, which in an anagram for 1814.

 		Playing the villain with the villain. Sent me this back "@snorkle256 Investigate seal 5 and you should find the answer for seal 3 quickly enough."

Also 1814 was a year connected to the Medusa if you look into it.

 		Hi again!

Seeing that anyone can't get to know "seal 3" , Qadhos has given more tracks for all the seals.
To get to this, we 've decoded the braille and the "number code" that's in "seal 5"... it's quite easy.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Braille : qadhos.com/xx
and adding the numbers column by column, they all are 33
so... we get to ... www.qadhos.com/33

If you enter this site you will get the tracks to all the seals.


Just one more thing, If someone can help us with the Eleanor video we would be thankfull... again we don't speak english as you can probably see lol.

 		I am a late comer, but was intrigued by all the codes in this game while I was skimming over the thread. This is all I can contribute right now as I am still attempting to break the 3rd seal.

With this I tried to make connections with creek mythology (as that is what clue 5 seems to be about). The Gray Ones are the ones that shared and eye and a tooth, which Perseus tricked into telling him how to kill Medusa. I thied all the names of "The Graeae" in the seal but to no avail.

Edit:

Seal #3 Solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
With the post above that gives the answer to seal #3 being: The Three Skulls

The painting Theodore Gericault finished in 1814

Image,

Unfortunately my french (assuming that is your native language) is terrible, so I am going to post the transcript of the message, hopefully it helps.

Hi Guys, I am very happy that I finally got the time to contact you, actually I am in a bit of a rush so this message will be short. I am very happy I have time to do it. I am also happy and actually surprised that TEX and DREJL are still there after all those years, amazing. I want to thank all the agents who helped us and specially SNORKEL, because he helped us to activate the system that permits us to hack into the SCARAB OF Qadhos. I have lost all the contact that I had previously with SACHA so now I need your help to hack into the scarab. The mainframe has finished loading all the information and applications which means it is fully operational for now, that also means we are vulnerable that someone else can hack into it and you know I am talking about, Beatrix especially. So we have to make it short well, efficient, and I trust you guys for that. I have to do my stuff, I have to go unfortunately but we will talk soon for sure, thanks for being there.

Salut les gars, je suis très heureux que j'ai enfin eu le temps de vous contacter, en fait je suis un peu pressé donc ce message sera court. Je suis très heureux d'avoir eu le temps de le faire. Je suis également heureux et étonné que TEX et DREJL sont toujours là après toutes ces années, étonnant. Je tiens à remercier tous les agents qui nous ont aidé et spécialement tuba, parce qu'il nous a aidé à activer le système qui nous permet de pirater le scarabée du Qadhos. J'ai perdu tous les contacts que j'avais précédemment avec Sacha alors maintenant j'ai besoin de votre aide pour pirater le scarabée. Le mainframe a fini de charger toutes les informations et les applications qui signifie qu'il est pleinement opérationnel pour l'instant, cela signifie aussi que nous sommes vulnérables que quelqu'un d'autre peut pirater et vous savez que je parle, Beatrix en particulier. Nous devons donc faire court bien, efficace, et j'espère que vous les gars pour cela. Je dois faire mon job, je dois y aller, malheureusement, mais nous allons parler bientôt pour vous, merci d'être là.

It should have unlocked for you when you pressed the Seal 5 link, check by pressing the Blue/Red jewel should show you what seals you have unlocked.

EDIT: Final Code:

The final code for who to give power to is the obvious: skoqo

I was over thinking it way to much, but the scarab says we have to wait for Beatrix's video before we can decide to move forward
