Lost Desert Plot Discussion #2 (Split)

[XenaAndGabrielle]

The day is young people, the third plot has yet to come out! We have much time to discuss

Since TNT took the tablet TCG card off, we assume it must have some kind of clue to it. The thing is... what? So we know the Prince is 1000 years old. Is there maybe some secret link that is linked to that clue? Maybe there's a vague piece of Neopian info we're overlooking, maybe a sentence in the neopia or an item.

I agree ... the card has something on it they didn't want us to know about. The text about him being almost 1000 years old is intriguing, for sure. I'm sure that will play into the plot somehow.

Maybe the prophecy is the clue to finding nuria ex. The aspect of a star
Thunderous clouds obscuring the sky. Just a wild guess. I havent even found my statue yet. I know its not the Ahn and i dont think its the cup i forgot if i tried the cup or not heh. i'm keeping record now though

maybe its all a red herring to throw us off the real scent

here is my theory on the prophecy-I think that we are supposed to find and read the non-library scrolls. After reading them we might get words and the tablet shows us in which order to put theses words to form the full prophecy. So whatcha think?

well that would make it almost impossible as the scrolls are very rare right now and the prices would then go higher then I'd like to imagine >.<, making it virtually out of the question for people to obtain scrolls in the first place. I don't think TNT would make it that hard.

I'm now off to map my tomb, with me luck I hate how I don't have PS here...

[crazy610]

hasnt anyone thought about the number of slots on the tablet?

i dont mean the empty ones, i mean all of them. there are sixteen

yet, there are only 12 scrolls. and 4 of the symbols are already there on out tablets...and i already have a duplicate symbol on mine..which is lame.

now, wouldn't that mean there could be more than just 12 scrolls out there that neopets may release? or just want to confuse us.

[sinacsupul]

Anyone know what the pictures on the library doors mean? One is a maze one is a snake like thing and one is like a map. Maybe you have to have a scroll to use the library correctly. I mean like maybe you need a certain kind of scroll or map to use the library then you click on the corresponding scroll in the room? Just an idea i mean the pictures on the doors im sure are there for a reason.

[Kaebel]

Not sure on how to tell which symbol, so you could have to try up to twelve different doors to find the statue. I'm curious as to which symbol door leads to a statue and which symbol is on the statue, as none have seemed to match so far.

If possible, when you find a statue, could you please post your riddle, the door color, shape and symbol and the symbol of the statue and tell whether or not the symbols are on your tablet?

I finally reached my statue. Here's my info on it:

Riddle:
Mouth of the river
Banks of the mighty river

Door:
I went through a green, triangle door with a sun symbol above it

My statue has the paw symbol on it, and my tablet does infact have a sun symbol and a paw symbol on it.

The paw is on the very bottom left spot of the tablet, and the sun is right above it on the 3rd row.

Hope my info helps somehow

[FireBabe]

Not that they are always trust wrothly, but this made sence. Someone on the neoboards was saying you need to first read a scrool. Remember what symbol was on it. Then click on the appropiate door accordign to your riddle and THAT leads you to the statue room.

*clicks on scroll with the paw shape on it*

Actually I found a statue before finding the library and a scroll so you don't need to get the scroll first. The symbol above the door was Ra (the sun) yet the statue inside was one with a Saf symbol (looks like a bowl with a vertical stick in and under it).

I higly agree with this idea. It seems like this would give us the confirmantion we need.

As for mapping: this is how I've done it so far. Note:this is only one page of my map, the whole thing is two pages.

I grouped all of the rooms together based on how they appear in the actual tomb, then numbered each group.
The number of blue dots above each numarical label indicates how many rooms are in that set for quick reference.
When I go through a door, I first mark which door I it was(so I don't lose tarck) then I figure out how many rooms(each consisting of 5 doors) wide the new group is and what the first room looks like.
Then I quickly scan over my map to see if I have a group that matches it, if not, then I map out the new section room by room from left to right and label the set.
Then I go back to my marked door (the one that led me here) and write what group it took me to(by number), and specifically what room(by letter).
Last I try going through a door in that room to verify that it will take me back to the original room, if so, then I mark that on the door.

Well, I hope that helps. It is the fastest way I can think of to generate a highly accurate map. . . I can help but think that we will have to traverse this tomb quickly sometime in the future, like something may end up chasing us through it.

PS: the things in the corner of the jpg are the scrolls I have read

Am I the only person that has used Notepad to make a map of their temple? All the maps that I have seen are images.

*Cringes*... I would curl up and die long before I mapped in notepad. I'm not trying to knock your method, I mean if it works then do it, but personally my brain would explode! I need to see it, both in shape and color, to get my brain a' workin.

I don't auctally think I would recomend mapping by screenshot as that becomes tedious fast. I have mapped several other games that way and even though I am quite fast at it, it still takes a lot of time, much more then the ol' pen and ink.
Actually, I've mapped out a lot of games in my time, all the way back to EOB... but that was ages ago.

Anyway, screenie mapping might however be good on the grounds that it is possible that there are secret images in the rooms that need to be dicsected with an imaging program(like in the neopets v.2 plot) but this is highly unlikely.

[lothwe]

I'm mapping with good ol' pen, coloured ink of course, and paper - it'll take awhile but it'll be handy and it's quite accurate.

I think I've noticed a pattern, for mappers and explorers in general - the door/passageway/tunnel thing farthest on the left seems to be the one that takes you back to the room you came from Still testing my theory as I map here..

[ILoveGames]

i had an evil thought. what if you have to find a scroll through random event or something then you have to go to the temple and read the same one. maybe that will unlock it. if so then we are in trouble.

[FireBabe]

Eeek This mapping is taking ages! I've already got 320 rooms marked on my map of which only 5 are MY rooms (blue rectangles). I have found all three libraries however.

Of my blue rooms:
Ra above the door led to a statue of Saf
Saf above the door led to the riddle wall


I noticed people mention faeries. I haven't seen any. Where are they meant to be found?
