Mystery [Mega Thread]

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying there. Maybe I should have slept, and not tryed to solve the puzzle. Do you have any ideas for an adjective that H would use to describe the gold hoarder?

Yeah, but who would he be? Who is the least trustworthy hoarder, what things do they say to the player when you interact with them, and who would they dislike? Wait. Just a thought. It's all pointing towards golden sands. What if H is the traitor?

The skull is at the gold hoarders bank in golden sands.

No I agree with you, it's Hyde. Is he at golden sands?

You mean the fourth four square cipher key? Leave it as the default: abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz

All the twitter riddles have been solved and if we put them in the order the arrows are in we get monarch horaceliarsbackbone snake aforecloud

@lucky11
Wait, how? What about the word search got you that phrase???

@expertknot447
Where did liarsbackbone come from?

So does anyone know the code?

@solarenderm
The riddle asked for the hoarder and the place he stashed his loot. Horace is stationed at dagger tooth and he went to fletchers rest. The island in between these two places is liars backbone.

Is that the code?

So do you have any more ideas?

Not sure if this is relevant but I noticed a few things I haven’t seen elsewhere:
1.The word hexapod and six pops up in the wordsearch and then monarch is one of the clues. these could reference a butterly

on plunder valley there is eagle peak, a painted butterfly, a scarab (another hexapod) and an eagle hunter as well as a bird shrine. could these be helpful?

2. There also could be a reference to N-13? I read someone found something "under" there. might make sense it seems mostly in th centre of horace at Dagger tooth, plunder valley and liar's backbone

MonarchX is also part of a book title? "travels of monarch X"

Hopefully this is solved in the morning, cause I need some sleep.

@lucky11
I think we were supposed to use that to solve the constellation puzzle because the constellations matched the painting in that picture. I tried using the vinegere cipher with gmqhrdkk as the key but didn’t get anything. If we use the four square cipher on gmqhrdkk we get eprhqdhn which doesn’t work with the vinegere cipher either.

@rimshot-iii
I think the x at the end of monarch is a place holder because you can only get answers with an even amount of letters using the vinegere cipher.

@expertknot447
an ideas on the rest of it? also in the word search there are many words that don't make sense and some more placeholder x's. Could be just to make the wordsearch work but if we take the letters that could give us something?

@lucky11
I tried a bunch of colour changes and colour "fades" to no avail. the snake and what I think is ther monarch symbol and the eagle symbol do not seem to change or reveal anything

@lucky11
sorry for all the posts guys but just mentioning the only thing I found is that the hexcode of the grey tha the snake and other symbols become when fully greyscaled is 696969 not sure if a coincidence but NICE

i found this thought it might help https://twitter.com/nottscolin/status/1664376655551385603 also can someone catch me up on what we have for clues so far?
