Lost Desert Plot Discussion #118 (Summary in First Post)

[Ectobob]

Has anyone figured out a pattern for the traps at all? It isn't shape as there are only 4 shapes, it isn't color because I've tried a fer green oval door and an ankh green oval door and they were different traps, so I'm going to try another green oval door with a different symbol than fer or ankh once I can get back in my temple to see if the symbol of the door is what decides the trap. There HAS to be some pattern to this...

*sigh* If all goes well I think I'll have the hidden scroll some time tomorrow.

i am just curious. How did we figure out we needed split up secondary colors into primatry and to read the tablet in reverse and then go by catalog order? was it trial and error?

Okay. I got really far behind looking for a jelly trap (took 28 trys) and I was wondering if someone could please give me a run down of exactly what I have to do to get the next crystal...as specific as possible would be great as reading the posts has managed to confuse me. Thanks.

1- Identify your Blanks spots . There are four.
2- Start with the first blank spot.
3- Read the Red, Yellow and Blue of that symbol. The order is not set.
4- You'll find that reading brybrbyrb will cover all possible combinations quickly.
5- You will get confirmation in the form of a new location.
6- Read a white scroll of the same symbol in the listed section. There will be no confirmation.
7- Do the same for remaining 3 blank spots.
8- You will have sucessfully read 4 red, 4 yellow, 4 blue and 4 white scrolls.
9- You get a new clue!
10- Visit a Riddle Trap and click on the symbol.
11- Get the fourth crystal.
12- Visit your Miniature city and place your crystal. BOOM!
13- Go through the hole.
14- You will recieve a scroll. Your crystal are now gone!
15- Fortune Teller isn't much help.

Thanks to Stampsyne.

Okay...do I have to see the lights or not? I have the old sequences still...
Start with the first one on which side?

No pattern..it is in fact random to each person's tomb...Trust me on this one..if there was a pattern I would have found it by now.

You do not need to see the lights. First blank as you move left to right down your tablet. Like you read this post.

oh wait a minute, I just got confused again. How do I tell which to read first? I have to read a red and blue scroll, do I read it in the order that the catalogs are laid out? My catalogs are lined up YBR, so I would read the blue first?
