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

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. [8 left]

What does the one in bold mean? I'm a little dense, sorry. Does that mean that the color of them hasn't changed?

On your second color series there are 16 characters, ignore the x's and the rby. That will leave 8 that are opg

alright, so I just pay attention to Purple green and orange then?

The curse of Jazan will make Sakhmet disappear, Jazan must marry a true princess of Qasala to break the curse.

*falls out into the sand once more*

Edit: I'm on the second crystal by the way.

When you compare it to your old sequence, you'll see that 4 of them haven't changed colour. Eg, there was a B on your original sequence, that is still B on the second sequence.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! After I don't even know how many tries (i lost count a long time ago), STILL no jelly!!! those of you who are plotting your jelly traps, could you post what doors you find them in? maybe there's a pattern . . . .

Don't worry.
I am still looking for a SPIKE trap.

For both traps, I remembered that when I was looking for my Nuria statue, I fell into at least 1 spike trap and 1 jelly trap. That narrowed it down to 11 possible doors--the doors that matched my statue's door (which had been, and probably still is, a black pentacle with Djo over it) but which had any symbol other than Djo over them. In other words, I check doors that had been failed attempts to find the Nuria statue. 11 may seem like a lot, but it narrows it down considerably.

Now that I have my third crystal, and I have my 4 symbols that correspond to the "blanks" from the 2nd light sequence, I need reassurance. Are you folks certain I don't need to go back to the mini-city room, see the lights, and add the 3-crystal combo? I'm worried.

And just to make sure--will someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but...I think I'm now supposed to take the 1st "blank" symbol, my new card catalog, and read 3 scrolls with that symbol on them: a yellow, a blue, and a red. Then I repeat with the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th "blank" symbols. But I won't know if that's the correct sequence of primary colors for each symbol until I see if it give me a message, or not--correct?

Please?

We don't need the scroll to get Jazan to notice Nabile. We need one of those TV dating shows to hook them up. 'Who Wants to Marry a Thousand Year Old Prince that Commands an Army of Zombies?' I can totally see that as the next Fox hit.

exactly. there are reading methods that will help. you will be reading 3 scrolls for each of the 8 opg symbols.
example :
2d colors: O P G G P P O O
1st associated colors: Y R Y B B R Y R
Color Pair to Get 2 R B B Y R B R Y

You read the pairs from the bottom of the tablet up
the order is based on the order of your catalog rack colors
read the primary color pair in the correct order and you will get the location of the secondary color scroll.

good luck it's tedious..

That's exactly right. I looked at my lights only because I got my crystal about 2 minutes before I had light. I know other people did not. As long as your catalog has changed when you got the crystal, you should be good to go. And you know, if you're that concerned about it, you can always wait for your lights before you go on.

[readysetgo]

okay, I'm just trying to get this right in my head here, so now I read my scrolls according to my tablet order and not catalog right?

Edit: so my last symbol on my tablet is a Purple onkh(? I don't know the names) So I would read red and blue onkh scrolls according to my catalog first, then go find a purple onkh?

yup, but if you get a sequence right, then don't use that sequence again because it won't work.

You can also do this, for example, you go to RYB, and you don't get the location, go back to R, so the the sequence would become YBR...and then if it's still not showing, go to Y so the sequence become BRY.

Reverse tablet. Start at the bottom right and move backwards.

Exactly. You understand.

[Hidinger]

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.

now you have to read ryb for each of the 4 x symols if done in the correct order, you will get the location for the white scroll. The order is random therefore, there are 6 possible orders rby ryb, bry, byr, yrb, ybr.

[neomania]

still no riddle trap. only 3 more tires left till my light

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.
