Lost Desert Plot Discussion #117 (Summary in First Post)

[master_cat]

most of us have experienced the fact that we found the scroll we were looking for at the scroll racks. Twists of fate or programming for clikcies, your choice of answer.

Now, my idea or theory, when we do have multiple symbols, let's skip the closest rack or first rack. If at the end we haven't found yet the symbol, let's go back to the untouched first one and voilà it saves time for the next time we go into that room.
Anubis toxicology could benefit from that...

I always start at the far end of the room and work my way back to the exit of the room. More times than not, that scroll was far from the door.

Do I need to get my lights when I have my 3rd crystal or can I go straight to my card cats??

I think you have to wait for the lights as they are the triggering factor for any change in the catalogues.

The catalogues change when you get the crystal. As the 3rd crystal is clear, you do not need to wait for the light. It doesn't change the colours on the wall.

My husband just finished getting his prophesy from the 4th crystal. He never needed the light for his 3rd crystal, just read the correct scrolls. Me, I'm still waiting through my 17th lockout trying to find a jelly trap, and my light show starts in 15 minutes, so I think I have at least 8 hours before I get that prophesy and catch up to where he is.

[Gabby]

Thank god for that lol my light time just passed

I see! Thanks for clearing that up!

I am on my 18th try at a jelly trap...still nothing..I have never seen a jelly trap at all during this entire plot...

I'm not sure if there is a confirmed pattern for traps but...

For the Jelly trap, try going into the nearest door/hallway entrance to the right your faerie door. Then in the new hallway click the first symbol to your right.

I don't know if this works for everyone but it worked for my sister right away when I was helping her.

I completely messed up on my third scroll sequence to get my fourth crystal and I tried redoing my first symbol (since I knew where the white scroll is) and I'm not getting the confirmation. Do I need to reread my white scroll for that sequence or what?

[purplecatlover2003]

does anyone know for sure if reading the 2nd set of scrolls, ie 3 for each symbol, do i have to start form scratch if i clearly mucked up cos i didnt get my location on one set of them?

Each symbol has a different sequence which you have to figure out even if the symbols are the same. My sequence was BEN KAR KAR BEN and I needed to find it for all of them.

The white scroll location is the same but you still need to do the unneccessary busy work for it to work.

(Hope that made sense)

You don't need to start completely over. You can just restart with the symbol you're currently working on.

4. Now, go back to your tablet, map out your NEW colors. Now cross out any symbols that (a) are blank or (b) have not changed.

5. Start at the BOTTOM of your tablet going in REVERSE order.

I assume this means that I read the colors from the lights in order, but plot them on the tablet in reverse order?

Also, when it says "have not changed" - let's say a certain symbol was red for the first set of lights, and blank for the second set of lights. Does that count as not changed? What if it's red for the first set of lights and red for the second set of lights? Does that also count as not changed?

Could the person writing the summary be a bit more specific? Thanks.
