Finally got the second crystal - I had to re-do the sharp eye message. That Sucked. Took like 45 minutes. I Must have read some other scroll after getting it the first time. Now i have to wait till 9pm EST tonight to get my lights (I will be at work the other time it comes up between now and then)

Did you get spikes but no crystal before you re-did the sharp eye or did you just not find a spike trap?

I went and got spiked - no crystal - so i re-did the sharp eye message, quickly refreshed in the temple on the spike trap and got the crystal

I did not read any other scrolls after the sharp eye. I have tried 8 doors now no spikes. If the plot is almost over, I will be left behind.

when I got spiked I had just been looking for doors with tep{the eye symbol} and found it my 4th try, and it wasnt anywhere's near my nuria statue....Im still confused on which scrolls we're to read after second crystal..Ive checked and rechecked and went thru every combo I could possibly think of and nothing..hope someone figures it out soon.

Hmm...good luck...
I went looking around for spike traps before I realized that I have one in one of my starting doors :roflol:

So far I have only tried doors in my first row of rooms. I figured sooner or later one had to be a spike. Not looking good lol Don't really know where to try next.

I remembered that I encountered spikes somewhere in the rooms I collected the fragments from way back when. I didn't record the traps then, but I decided instead of just going to "Random" rooms (no matter how sequential), I'd go where I'd seen it before and hope it popped up again.

Finally did.

I just hit my 10th trap...

3 riddles
2 jellies
2 sands
1 compacting
1 water
1 that I didn't record, my first try

I'm bored, and tired. The hour wait is lame

12 scrolls sorted by original catalog sequence, in primary colors only, does not work.

Would someone like to try 12 scrolls, in tablet order, primaries only? (If you have a purple nem now, and originally had a blue nem, now you'd read a red nem.) Or has this been tried and ruled out?

i tried, but ran into a room that has 12 Blue AHNs and i only needed one, i checked if i could substitute white, but there were multiples of that too, however one rack had a line of whites leading down to the blue i needed. ?anything with that?

thanks for helping us rule that out. The multiple scroll issue that you bring up has been encountered MANY times before. This is why we discounted the possibility of reading all 12 scrolls.

Instead, we are focussing on reading only the 8 scrolls that are needed to blend the colors of the existing crystal to creat the new colors.

So, ignoring blanks, ignoring colors that remain the same (after all they shine through and trying to read them bumps into multiple scrolls), we have 8 scrolls to read this round (next round will probably be only 4 scrolls)

ok...

but what order to read these 8 scrolls in? We don't have a handy key (dots on first crystal) as we had before. AND my team has already tested reading these 8 scrolls in the old catalog order we used last time AND the order from our tablets (straight down).

what other sensible order can you guys suggest?

Keep in mind... if you rearrange the catalogs into EVERY possible combination, that would give us 6 options... just 6... worst case scenario... 8 scrolls, in 6 catalog combinations... that's MOST 48 scrolls to read...

now get cracking!!

Yes, I've taken over the role as foreman here... after all, if I can't get spiked myself, then I'm very happy to start whipping you folks. I've got lots of built up frustration!
