Lost Desert Plot Discussion #120 (Summary in First Post)

[Cilian]

Right, second crystal

Read 1st symbol - yellow, then blue. Got purple. Read that.
2nd symbol was missed out as it was red on both
Moved onto 3rd symbol, read yellow then blue. No location was given.
Do I start from 1st symbol? Or from 3rd? What did I do wrong?

Yellow and blue don't make purple so I'm a little confused on that bit. but you only need to start from each pair, not the begining. If one order didn't work, reverse the order.

meant green, not purple

Finally found my spike trap! >_< Now I've just got to see that stupid light yet again.

[Brynne]

Wow!

We had swim meets for my daughter Saturday and Sunday and I worked yesterday, but somehow I just got the 4th crystal. I was worried I wasn't ever going to get that third section done, it was torturous. Now I think moving furniture was fun in retrospective. My lights come on at 6PM NST.
I was hoping I wasn't going to be too far behind, do you think there is more to the plot or are we done now?

I know I'm not going to be in any top 500 when it comes to this part with being IRL so much this weekend.

Hi arogance

For the second crystal, you start at the bottom of your tablet and read the symbols backwards. For the color order, use your Card Catalog colors, not your crystal.

Tablet:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12

Start with 12,then 11, 10, 9, etc. NOT reading any scrolls that are blanks (no color) and leave out any scrolls that have the same primary color the second time. You should have 8 scrolls, which you need to read 3 times - first primary, second primary, then third with the new color. That's 24 scrolls altogether.

When you read your second primary color scroll, you should get the location for your third (new color) scroll.

thanks. I got that far, it was just the bit after reading my second set, and not getting the location of the mixer colour that confused me

I'm giving up, I quit. I hate this plot!!!!!

[anjuna]

I got a petpetpet! A Glack. Best RE I got from this plot so far, considering I missed out on sand-hauling and Lost Desert Paint Brushes.

[Mystic_Sword]

can someone tell me what door they clicked for the jelly trap? It might help since most of my triangle doors seem to be spike traps and alot of circles are crush traps and some water traps

Edit: nvm found it now

:o I got a petpetpet! A Glack. Best RE I got from this plot so far, considering I missed out on sand-hauling and Lost Desert Paint Brushes.

lol, best RE I've gotten is a code stone, though yesterday I got a petpet lab ray map piece from pyramids . . .

[off_ur_rocker]

Lo All! New member here. I've been following this plot since the beginning. Have my second crystal, found my colors, matched to tablet using reverse order, eliminating matches from first crystal's scroll hunt, etc. I have since found 23 of my 24 scrolls with little trouble.

I am now on my last set of primary colors, found the scrolls but am not getting the clue to the location of my final scroll, which will be an orange Ben.

The order of my catalog is Blue, Yellow, Red. That means I need to find a Yellow Ben and a Red Ben in the rooms as listed in my catalog, right?

Also, the thread's Page 1 instructions state: "If you do it INcorrectly, just redo the last set (no need to start all over again)." Is it necessary to clear my cache first in order to do this?

If anyone can help with this I'd be most thankful!

[zalensia]

Yay! I got the silly message saying my pet deciphered the scroll and something about this is not a clue, then went to a jelly trap and got my third crystal piece :):)

Now how to figure out what to do next lol Yes, again I know it states on the front, I am just dim and need it wrote out in simple to understand words, I have only had 4 hours sleep the past 2 days lol

I will go ahead and aswer this again since it seems like a lot of people are trying to catch up...I went through 20+ traps before finding a Jelly one. They are completly random for each person's tomb. There is no pattern or specific door that they are behind. Sadly if you don't allready have it written down you have to just guess..I would suggest writting down which door and what trap just in case you need it in the future (Say a puzzle trap).

3. Looking at spaces that haven't shown light (you should have 4), you need to read one of each basic colored scroll (Red, Blue, Yellow). Read these as they appear on your tablet. However, the order you need to read the scrolls is random and possibly not work in order for the next step. Reading them in the sequence Y - B - R - Y - B - Y - R - B - Y helps in trial and error.

Ok my symbols are man, sun, sun, man (with the blanks) does that mean I have to read man red, man, yellow, man blue scrolls first then sun red, yellow, blue and then sun red, yellow blue and then man red, yellow blue scrolls?

[Ectobob]

I FOUND A PATTERN!!!! YES!!!!

Ok... now to explain the pattern...

1)Look at your tablet
2)Count how many different symbols there are
3)7, right? How many traps are there? 7
4)Take the shape and color of your faerie door and search the rooms with those 7 symbols. I only have to search 6 because one of my tablet symbols is the symbol above my faerie door (this might be the case for everyone).
5)In those 7 doors there will be all 7 traps.
