- The Fortune Teller
- The Temple of One-Thousand Tombs

Here is an example of a map: http://tim.arlott.com/jas/tombmap.jpg
It is Jasujo's map that she made using the grid method posted by Cerise. Of course, there are many methods, this is just one to give you an idea.

Here is a handmade map by XenaAndGabrielle: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v613/ ... ap-XaG.jpg
with an explanation of how she goes about it here.

Here is another map made by Twisted Sanity, who uses yet another mapping method: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y31/te ... ombmap.gif

Known Facts:

Eveyone's tomb, doors, and phrases are different.

Your tomb is the same to you each time you enter it.

All passages seem to be two way. You should be able to return to the room you came from. The door may not be in the same position, but one of the doors will return you.

There are three library doors and one statue room in each tomb. In the libraries, you can read a scroll, but the effects haven't been found yet. The statue asks for a prophecy, but the correct one hasn't been found yet.

Library doors


The libraries should have these scrolls:

river - Fer, Djo, Tep, Kar
maze - Ben, Lat, Saf, Nem
time - Ra, Set, Ahn, Kha

Here is an image posted my mcgeorge on neoitems displaying all the symbols and scrolls with their names.

There are about 85 rooms, 5 doors in each room (a few might have a blank wall), and a total of around 425 doors.

If you read a scroll, you can't enter for 12 hours. If you get caught in a trap, you can't enter for 1-3 hours and your pet may temporarily be turned to a pile of sand.

There are 6 door colors and 4 door shapes. The riddles will only tell you the color and shape of the door you need.

Shapes:
A humble portal of stone (rectangle) [just a regular old door]
Mouth of the river (triangle) [think about it ... the place where a river starts will look like a triangle ... because it starts flowing out]
The aspect of a star (pentagon) [5 sides to a standard star]
Window into the soul (oval) [your eyes are ovalish]

Colors:
Blinding radiance of the sun (yellow) [the sun]
Thunderous clouds obscuring the sky (black) [makes it dark]
The waking dawn on the dunes (red) [at dawn, thing all look red]
Banks of the mighty river (green) [everything is green on the banks]
Kingdom of the lightgiver (blue) [the sky is the sun's (lightgiver's) kingdom ... and it is blue]
Bright guardian of the night (silver) [The moon is sort of silverish]

The combination does not tell you which symbol you need, but does limit your search to 12 possible doors to find your statue in.

After you find the Nuria faerie statue and go back to your library and read the scroll with the symbol that was on the statue's base, your pet now understands it. Nothing else has been seen to come of this as of yet, though.

The fortune teller's phrase has changed to: "I see ancient pharaohs laid at rest." You supposedly need to visit her and see this before moving on.

Then if you play a game of Pyramids, at the end you should see a parchment on the bottom of your screen. This looks to be a clue to rooms as each column has a number, color, symbol, and shape.

If you go the room under the single dot that your parchment describes, you will get an RE which gives you a dirty stone piece. Take that to the toy repair shop and you get a piece on your tablet. If you then go to the fortune teller, her phrase is changed:

"So... you've returned," she says. "Something remarkable is happening. I am receiving many images in my crystal ball, images of strange, distant places..."

"...yet I can't make out these images just now. Perhaps something will appear soon. You may view the Mysterious Tablet if you wish."

If the dirty stone piece that you get from your trapped room ends up being destroyed by Donny at the Toy Repair Shop (he sometimes has trouble cleaning it for some reason), then all you will need to do is go back to the temple immediately. Do not wait. You will receive a new piece that you can bring to Donny to try cleaning up.

A while after the first piece of your tablet is filled in, the fortune teller changes to this clue: "I see debris on a frigid battlefield."

That leads you to play a game of Snow Wars (not the flash game, the original HTML Battleship-like one), after which you should find your second parchment. On this one, you find the door under the double dots.

After the second piece, the fortune teller changes again, "I see a rivalry of five."

That leads you to place a bet and feed one of the poogle in Poogle Races to get the third parchment once you've placed your bet. On the third parchment, you find the door under the triple dots.

After the third piece, the fortune teller gives the next clue: "I see fortunes cast upon the waters."

This leads you to go to the Underwater Cavern. Simply go fishing, and you'll find the fourth parchment. You'll find the door under the four dots.

For the fifth clue, go to the fortune teller and get this message: "I see countless eyes." Then lose at Potato Counter and that gives you your next parchment. Find the door under the five dots and you're on your way.

On the sixth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a great deal of fun." If you spin the Wheel of Mediocrity, then try to spin a second time, you'll get your sixth parchment. Find the door under the six dots to get the next piece.

On the seventh clue, the fortune teller will tell you "I see a rule that must be broken" Go to the Lever of Doom, and a pull will get you the parchment. You must have 100np on hand. The door under the seven dots will get your next piece.

The eighth clue, you are told: "Today's lotto number is [numbers]" Go to Kreludor, and fill in the Mining Corp. with the numbers, different to everybody. This'll get you the eighth piece of parchment, which will tell you which room to go to beneath the eight dot header.

For the ninth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a tournament that rolled on." Go to The Krawk Island Deckball Championships. Then click on Players. If you scroll down, you will see Prince Jazan's name. Click on it and you will get your parchment. Follow the door under nines dots.

For the tenth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see a chia resting by a tree." Have one of your pets take a Tiki Tour. Your parchment should be on the first page after you sign up for the tour. Find the door under the ten dots.

For the eleventh clue, the fortune teller says: "I see you lost in the darkness." Play a game of Fetch while seeking Faerie Dust (refresh the request screen until you get that for your quest.) Your parchment should appear after you lose that game and have found the Faerie Dust. Find the door under the eleven dots.

For the twelvth clue, the fortune teller says: "I see you giving into your dreams." Wish for a Hieroglyph Fragment at the Wishing Well. Follow the door under the twelve dots.

Also, it seems the new clues are coming out at about 1:30 and 7:30 NST, every six hours.

That's who I think the professor is. Because of her intelligence rating and all.

Reposted from the end of the last thread so people can add to the information:

im going to suggest this again, just in case it was missed before.

id like to see a thread that kept track of everyones things. you would reply and edit your post to add stuff. no replies if you already have one. it would have

+your riddle
+your statue rooms symbol
+your statue symbol
+symbols on your tablet
+scrolls you have read
+scrolls you have understood
+physical scrolls you have

and anything else like that. it would be easier that way to see the patterns instead of having to weave through 40 pages of posts looking to see parts of what other people have.

My riddle:
Kingdom of the lightgiver
A humble portal of stone

Statue Room symbol:
Ra

Statue Symbol:
Saf

Completed tablet:


Scrolls I have read:
Ra, Ahn, Saf and Tep

Scrolls I have understood:
Saf

Physical scrolls I have:
None *sniff*

[dargonz]

Finnaly got my sixth piece, I hope I get all 12 before w=everyone figures it, cause I wanna join in on all the fun n__n;;

[Machiito]

I'm still on my fifth piece.. can't find the door I need and of course being the stupid person I was, I figured I could wander around the tomb without mapping it out first.

Boy was I wrong. x.x

[deadlypker]

I just put my second piece in Yea I'm slow but I mapped most of my temple, not much left......by hand

I think you could be on something there Mark. I've been looking through the LD cards and I have now got a much better understanding of the story line. To check them all out go to http://www.neopets.com/tcg/checklist.phtml?edition=8

A few images are "missing" since the beginning of the plot (eg: Ruki Patrol and Qasalan Tablets) however you can view them at the Wizards Card site: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=neopets/article/ldcardlist

Call me slow here but with all the threads I haven't understood how you are coming up with knowing which scrolls you read and which you understood.

And my guess on the plot is we will have to wait for the next chapter to come out to move on, since as of yet we are only doing one new thing per chapter. TNT may be holding off giving others a chance to catch up.

[Jez]

I've completed my tablet!!



I guess I'll have to wait and see if someone out there can translate this... or maybe the Fortune Teller might tell us something about it soon...

For now, I'll have to wait for the temple to open and then I'm off to find the statue of Nuria!! By the way, my door is a red oval.

Would be nice to have this all in one place to help identify trends, if there are any.

My riddle: The waking dawn on the dunes A humble portal of stone
Statue room symbol: set
Statue Symbol: ahn
Symbols on tablet: saf djo ra kar, nem nem ahn set, set lat kar ben, ra kar kha nem
Scrolls understood: ahn
Physical Scrolls - uhmmm no, not me

Call me slow here but with all the threads I haven't understood how you are coming up with knowing which scrolls you read and which you understood.

The message you get when you read the scroll corresponding to your statue's symbol changes to say that your pet understood the scroll, rather than just gained insight from it. You are still locked out of the temple for 12 hours.

[ooboo245]

Ok I found the yellow fish scroll read it understood it , and hope TNT doesnt put out anything I need to get into the temple for until 7:47 tonight when i can get back in. I have 9 scrolls read now.

Long time reader first time poster. I have mapped all of my temple and have 85 rooms. I am currently stuck on my third fragment. I can't find the door and symbol I am suppose to find, however I can find one of the others, should I try that one or what?

I have also misplaced my map. I am searching high and low, I hope I don't have to do it again.



Edit: Sorry I meant to say I had 85 ROOMS, lol I'm tired. that why I'm confused by the fact I can't find the the symbol. I've spent hours going around in my temple checking every door and not finding it. Even without my map I know my way around pretty well.

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my templ because its been doing weird things, I just went to go into it and feel into trap without actually clicking on anthing.

Welkom here!
To answer your question:
No, you should not take a different door. It will just land you in a trap and will not give you a piece. You really have to find the right door.
I hope can find your map soon. Can you remember where you last had it? Maybe that'll help.

The other symbols will not work.. you have to find the right door. With only 85 doors you haven't found all the rooms yet. I have 285 rooms. Sorry but looks like you have to do some more mapping first.

[apranum]

the images are not actually missing, they're still there, neopets gave the wrong link, I think I posted that earlier

for example the link given for qasalan tablets is C110, which is supposed to be CI10

about Megan... perhaps she'll be featured in darkest faerie plot instead ?
