Guild Wars 2

Hey GW community.

Originally I posted this puzzle in our VexX guild forums but since someone (well done Udderdog) solved it I am now opening it up to the general public.

Everything you need to know is in the image. The answer is not something you send to me, a message of what the item is is good enough.

I present to you, PEEBO’S PREPOSTEROUS PUZZLE.

Good luck!

A monastery key?

Seriously though. I read that thing and it all sounds like gibberish to me.

The Answer is 42

Ugh, this is tough. I’ll have to try this one.

My guildmates were able to crack it after a couple of weeks. I wasn’t sure if I had put enough information in the puzzle to make it solvable so it was as gratifying for me as it was for them when they finally solved the puzzle.
Feel free to pm me in-game.

And 42 is close ;P

Starting on this right now.

I’ll throw a 5g prize out there for the first person who solves it.

The Answer is 42

I thought that was the answer to life and everything.

This looks to be a fun code to crack.

one hint/question: Is this in english? or are we deciphering a different language (like hieroglyphics)? and is it a fixed code or is it a dynamic/rolling thing? (sorry if that’s giving away too much info >.<)

Jeez, after translating it, I’m kind of at a lost haha

I know, right?

So, I guess this is just for people who can read Krtyan, or whatever code this is in..? Is that the challenge? Would it have ruined it to simply post the challenge in English?

Well, I would say it take away from the challenge if it was posted translated. Kinda the first step done for you. But the riddle is still a riddle, so even translated there is still more to figure out. If you google New Krytan and take about 10 minutes, you can translate it.

It is in Krytan, and no, it would not have ruined it to simply put it in English. Though I thought it was a nice touch and I do think it somewhat helps to solve one of the first parts of the puzzle.

The translation is simple enough (there’s even an app) but it is only a small part.

Again, good luck, and I do suggest finding someone to work at it with. It seems to help having more than one mind as different points of view can really help.

I figured out the first part (I think) but haven’t a clue about the numbers part.

Like I mentioned before, it took a few weeks for members to finally solve the puzzle. I’m happy that I was able to make it difficult enough to be a real challenge, but still, in the end, solvable.
Find someone else to work on it with you, I know it really helped my fellow guildies.

Happy to say a few people are well on their way!

I’m happy to announce Fox figured it out.

Well done!

Hooray! Thanks for the awesome puzzle/riddle!

What is the answer :O??

Well then it wouldn’t be much a puzzle, would it Kasrios ;P

That would explain it. Hope your guild enjoys it!

Yeee..they ofc do.I believe they are saying worse words for me than those i can imagine

Lol. That’s good to hear!

I’d love to see one of the dev’s take a crack at it!

Hmm, that’s confusing, i’m going to try, X=the right answer, with my answer being “X” :P

Feel free to message me in game or on these forums if you have any questions.

Congrats Fox,
Peebo worked on putting that together for some time. Great Job bud its cool to see the community reaction.

Another community member solved the puzzle! GZ!

It was a lot of fun, I am glad to see that other folks are still taking a crack at it! It’s obvious a lot of work went into it.
