 		I'm stuck on 4, with the morse code. I got hte coordinates and all, but I can't seem to use them effectively on any map site.

I KEEP GETTING THE MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
*beep...beep...beep...BEEEEEEP!*
HEEEAAAAALLLLLPPPP!!!!!!

...PM's are nice.

I guess my question is how do I properly put in the coordinates, hours and minutes included, so that I get this building everyone talked about in the beginning of the thread?

Apparently there's a clue that you have to have either

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
read the book or watched the movie it's related to. There's a script online for it, if I remember right, that you can google. Apparently, if I'm thinking the right puzzle, it relates to the book/movie itself. If you find the script, go to the part about the paintings. So I have read, anyway.


However, I could be thinking the wrong puzzle. I've been reading the thread for hours trying to figure out how to finish up the morse code puzzle, mind helping me with a PM there, Glen?

I keep getting the middle of the pacific ocean.

EDIT: Seriously someone. HELP ME OUT. I don't know how to use coordinates with time to figure out a specific location. PM me a hint on how to use hours and minutes along with latitude and longitude?


EDIT2: OH GAWD I am an idiot. I've been typing 177 this whole time, instead of 77. NO WONDER I WAS IN THE OCEAN.

*HEADDESKTOINFINITY*

At least I've got a building now. Wooo...

EDIT3: OMG I FINALLY GOT IT. I FEEL SO AWESOME RIGHT NOW...owait it's a gold scarab.....

*goes to look over thread for that link about this particular page*

 		The problem I'm having is figuring out what is meant in the translated text.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I found the coordinates and we (my friends that I dragged into this and I) think it points to jim morrison's tomb, but I'm stuck on what to use as the keyword.


I'm still looking through this thread, but I can't seem to find any hints taht are helping me out. I'm trying to take the message literally, but....
I dunno.

 		Done. Also, two other people are in AIM with me trying to figure this out. And I'm still scanning the thread for hints I might have missed.

Yes. And we're just going around in circles.

By the way, since this is my first post, I want to commend the makers for a great challenge. I was quite bored until this game. This has easily made my Sunday (and probably the next few days at the very least, maybe more) a lot more exciting.

 		I started sucking people into the despairing abyss that is Torment. Geno is one.

YAY GENO!

Apparently we already have what we need. We're overthinking it.
*has been looking over the thread*

Head...desk... hurting...brain....melty........

I still don't get the gold bug puzzle. I got as far as
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
using the coordinates to find a location on the map


but I don't know what keyword to use. Is it a multi-word? And can I have a really big hint, either here or via PM, from someone who actually solved the darn thing?

I guess there are already several hints for this in this thread but...

It is a multiword. In this case write the words together and do not use spaces.
And remember Torment is an english language game.
