Hard T:
ReplyDeleteThe last but one sentence: 'It was only about strings of consecutive letters' is the hint for what to look for. The title of the article also helps: 'New supeRSTring theory'.
Found the egg on hard W.But it made me stuck because it told me I got the right answer but just found an egg.
ReplyDeleteHard W: Think how you have entering your answers. Then take the text on the egg into account.
ReplyDeletecee bee I still didn't understand it.I tried to delete the caps but got nothing.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, what is the opposite of your egg answer? If you aren't allowed to use the egg answer, then you are using .........?
ReplyDeleteFinnaly reached AH but stuck for hours.The colours made me think of easy levels.But easy path only have 15 levels.So I didn't find where to use these numbers
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, Did you get an egg using the numbers just as they are? I'm trying to remember what to do with that egg. Sorry, not much help I know.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, I remember a bit more. Reading back jogged my memory. The title tells you what to do. The LAST easy. Going back to the last level of easy, use the box in the top right to pick your letters,using the green numbers. As for the red number, I can't remember the correct way, but just using A=1 will give you the right letter. Visit granny with all 6 letters for the answer. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteFinally on AI.And I got one important egg by subtracting letters from added letters.Bht I couldn't find another one now .Ty you for helping me so much.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, use ftf on your 5 eggs, and visit granny. That should give you an almost egg. Read the second sentence of that egg, and take it quite literally. That should give you the other important egg.
ReplyDeleteAI I found the almost egg and I tried anagram but couldn't find another important egg.And I realized there are also hell path when I visited the forum.How could I got into the hidden hell path.And I found all endings including the secret ending in normal path.But I only found one in the easy path.
ReplyDeletesevenfar, finish the hard path before trying to find hell (if you dare). Ok, so the almost egg. You are almost what? The egg tells you not to use the 'almost', therefore you ARE ......
ReplyDeletecilo rose ty so much.I finished the hard path.Now I am back to find the other two endings for easy path.And if I want to take part into the hell path.Where should I go to visit?It must be interesting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations sevenfar!!!! yayyy for finishing. Dont forget to email small-tool.
ReplyDeleteGo back to final level of easy, use first column, second column and maths, for three diff endings.
As for finding hell, .........welll....Are you sure? It burns, it hurts, it's tough, and mostly....I can't remember how to find it. lol Will have to ask a brainiac to help you. Good luck in Hell, when you get there.
Sevenfar, on the congrats page of hardpath is one word written in Italic. You have seen that word before, go back and check it out carefully.
ReplyDeleteDutchie I saw that word on an esay level egg.And I checked the steps but didn't find anything new.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, you will need to visit Jeffrey with the image you checked and look VERY carefully.
ReplyDeletecilo do you mean the chess image on easy level but I searched the image found nothing.And what is Jeffrey?
ReplyDeletehttp://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi
ReplyDeleteYou right click the image, copy the image url, and then paste into Jeffrey. Scroll down and you will see multiple images. Look at each image carefully, but may i suggest you REALLY look carefully at the last image. Good luck.
Now I reached four songs part for hell path entrance.It made me stuck again.I couldn't imagine how hard the hell path is.
ReplyDeleteYou found hell :) you just have to enter it. The songs tell you to go all the way down. Jump into the fire!
ReplyDeleteBegin the hell path.On alpha I found one letter for four cities and I know who the actress is.And I tried to convert letters to numbers but stuck now
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have made good progress on Alpha. Replace the 4 images with the letter you found, think of the actress's initials in a slightly different way and then see if you can see a famous formula with the result.
ReplyDeleteYou are in Hell, so be prepared for a bumpy ride where things will be a little trickier than what has gone before. You might have to think a little like Einstein to solve some of the upcoming levels.
You are doing great!! :)
On to Gamma.Only found an egg told me to count.But tried ftf，count letters，count words.I must overthink and I didn't how to apppy the abacus to the text
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, Yes you need to count. I found this site very useful. On the right side it says "other useful tools". The first one under that will help you enormously. http://luthorien.altervista.org/Tools/
ReplyDeleteOnto DELTA I thought I should visit three levels in easy path again.But I couldn't go anywhere from them
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, I can't remember this level. I have looked and found a hint from Dutchie 8/4/18 10.27am which says: "I'm afraid you have to check all paths". Hope that helps. Good luck.
ReplyDeletesevenfar, also found this hint from Dutchie. Maybe helps some more?
ReplyDelete"All lines refer to something in the past. You need 6 letters. First two lines each give two, the last two lines each give one letter."
I need a push on hard level c... I converted the numbers and went back in time. Saw the military guy. I have seen the hints about time and PM but not sure what to do from here.
ReplyDeleteFosterhewitt, use military time. The numbers are after midday.
ReplyDeletecilo I finally found the egg on delta but I couldn't understand the egg
ReplyDeletesevenfar, Try to read the egg text differently. What does it say you need? Good luck.
ReplyDeleteclio_rose...oh I feel so stupid. Had the military time, and the Pm after noon. like you said. was trying to make military time out of the numbers; not converting the other way around. DUH! thanks for the nudge I needed.
ReplyDeletelost on hard F Egg... read the clues and have no idea how to overlay or use it as a template to get the new word. I know this is going to smack me in the face.
ReplyDeleteonto epsilon and do the maths just got one egg.Need a push！
ReplyDeleteFosterhewitt, I have checked my own 'drawing' and I can't understand what i did. oops. All, I can really tell you is that you need two more letters to add to your egg letters. Maybe sevenfar remembers. Hope so.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar, I will have to ask a brainiac to help you. The egg was easy, but what from there, I forget. Sorry.
Oh, sevenfar.... I just remembered. To get the next egg, what you do is ftf, but spell the number. After you get that egg, google will be your friend.
ReplyDeleteclio_rose... So am I looking for an 8 letter word that already contain the original 6 letters or is it a 6 letter word that substitutes 2 letters?
ReplyDeletefosterhewitt, 8 letters adding another 2 to the original 6.
ReplyDeleteI am still lost on F Egg. I have found two consonants (I think). But when I add them to the egg word I get nothing. Granny is not helping. I have gone through all the hints repeatedly but am getting nowhere. HELP!
ReplyDeleteFosterhewitt: Level F. If you have the two correct consonants, they should end your battle with the level, and remind you of the end of bigger battles in 1918. The 8 letters you get from those two letters + your egg word form two words S*** C***
ReplyDeleteThanks Cee Bee... got it now. Once again I was looking at it by applying grid A to B.... not grid B to A. (kicking myself as it seems so simple now). thanks for the push.
ReplyDeletehad a good run today. Got all the way to hard O. I found both egg paths. Found the one path to the end. Alas, the trail ran cold on the 1st egg on the other path. Maybe my brain has shut down but can't figure out what to do with the thermometer calling me a liar on the egg path on hard O. Anyone for a push?
ReplyDeleteFosterhewitt, small-tool is tricky. See another letter after liar?
ReplyDeleteThere's a new finisher on the hard path.
ReplyDeleteCongrats hugoke :)
Updated Hall of Fame
Oh that hurts.... so obvious. I think my brain was full and just quit on me. Thanks Clio_Rose
ReplyDeleteFound the egg on ETA but stuck on the egg for hours.I searched the egg with What I got but only got many boxing matches.I must go wrong way.
ReplyDeletesevenfar, earlier hint from small-tool: "Google band and your answer (that got you this egg) together."
ReplyDeleteThen further hint from BlackFireSong after after you find the second egg: "Find out what the image is, and then Google that together with the hint on the egg. That should lead you to the answer."
Hope that helps.
On ETA I found one band name contained the first egg.And I Searched it with the hint on the first egg I only got one combat move.Need another push.
ReplyDeletesevenfar, google the band with the egg name. It will give the song. Read the lyrics of the song. It contains the answer that egg 1 is asking for.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new Hellraiser :)
ReplyDeleteHellraisers of Fame
Congrats
hugoke
And a new renaming
hugoke
“The Emperor of Hell”
stuck on KAPPA found first egg but didn't find another.and also noticed one letter in the title is strange.
ReplyDeleteSevenfar: notice that all the words contain that strange letter. Apply the title using it, then read diagonally to get second egg.
ReplyDeleteneed a push on hard AA... I have the previous solutions to I and M but not getting anything from them. Am I on the wrong track?
ReplyDeleteFosterhewitt, visit granny with those two answers.
ReplyDeleteMy new riddle (Riddle Me Tool) will be released April 11 at 7 pm (19:00) Western European time.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you guys there :)
Oh good grief, I only just started this one yesterday (late to the party). Got two of the three endings to the easy path...better get cracking if I'm going to finish the medium and hard levels before the new one...lol, not gonna happen. I'll be late again, never mind. Something to look forward to :D Thanks for all your hard work Small <3
ReplyDeleteHard LVL C: Trying to get numbers but confused on what words to use and how. Then I guess it has something to do with time. Help please and Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are on the egg. If so, then think of the numbers on the level as (like you already thought) time. But on the egg it's hinting to make those numbers PM time (like 1 = 13 etc.).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the 3 paths Laurie W :)
ReplyDeleteThe Hall of Fame
And within a few days she became a hell-raiser too ( Hellraisers of Fame ).
ReplyDeleteCongrats Laurie W
and of course that means another renaming too:
Laurie W is renaming small-tool "Diabolus in Aenigma"
Just completed the hard path YAAY. My only missing piece is the second ending on med XXV, and I'm feeling very thick. Using previous hints I land up with oreoy (piece name + row). but that's good. Where am I going wrong?
ReplyDeleteMinkie205, I think you are on the right method but your first letter is wrong (its Knight not Night) and you mixwd up the King and Queen.
ReplyDeleteLevel xxv. sorry I'm so late with my thanks dutchie. I think the crowns were just about the only thing I never questioned - I sort of assumed that the first one looked more kingly, I guess ;).
ReplyDeletebtw you can get a "secret" egg using n rather than k.
Lvl Kappa
ReplyDeleteSmall Tool was that a fiendishly sneaky red herring you planted immediately to the left of the main line? It had me barking up the wrong tree for hours.
Omicron
ReplyDeleteI'm missing something obvious. Not even an egg for me yet :(
I can't work out how to lighten (or do anything at all with) the picture. I've examined it at Jeffrey's, converted from webp to jpg, but it remains stubbornly black. Any nudges please from any kind riddlers who are still visiting this page.
Omicron: POP!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting continents rather than countries, but still it's progress :)
Omicron I'm trying to apply the egg. Do I need to go back to two earlier levels?
ReplyDeleteOmicron. NVM got it now. I needed to stay just where I was.
ReplyDeleteanyone around to give me a push on getting started with rho?
ReplyDeleterho POP once again. g******* hadn't occured to me until I posted
ReplyDeleteBoo hoo. I was so sure my answer on the last level was going to be: i did it ... But no. Bed now.
ReplyDeleteaagh So close on the 4th egg of the last level, but I just can't get it.
ReplyDeleteFirst line of first I get 3222, but how do I do that on "jura v ovg bss"?
OK. It seems I was breaking the verses at the wrong place. OUT!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone please give me a big push on Med level XXII. I have googled the images, found the people and the ... for all of them (some have several) and tried granny on ftf to no avail. Found one good word that didn't work. Must be missing something or have something wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed the firsts of the 'and the ...'
ReplyDeleteWhat might help is; It is no anagram when reading from left to right and second row again from left to right.
Thank S-t. I have six letters but they don't read as a correct word. Can you confirm the first letter as H? I can delete this if not allowed.
ReplyDeleteYes it is and the second is U
ReplyDeleteOk. My second letter was wrong. Rest ok, so now onwards. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAm needing another bit of help please. Hard level C. I have the egg but am now out of ideas. Any push in the right direction welcome. I have read Mtatt100's comments but still stuck. :(
ReplyDeleteOn the egg it says 'am not'
ReplyDeleteRead that as Not AM
So if not AM then it's PM.
In a way the mp (url kind of make's it pm) guy is hinting that too, but the picture is hinting more: It's a 'militairy' guy.
Usually there's not much difference between AM and PM time besides those letters. 6 is still 6, 7 still 7, but when using military time there is a difference. Then 1 becomes 13 etc. etc.
Good luck and have fun :)
Thanks s-t. So easy. I did have the pm but only tried with letters not the digits.

Im so stuck at Med XVII.This feels like the fruity rapper one I need more nudge.
ReplyDelete@ GhostCat55
ReplyDeleteMed XVII
Think of the words of the photo from the text,
Try writing out all 'f *** t'.
Then think about the meaning of the title.
@jan
ReplyDeleteI'm still awfully stuck at Med XVII. I'm really thinking way too much here. I tried to remove first letters, last letters, only firsts etc. tried to make it into a "word zone" and find words in there but it never makes a square. I need more nursing :((
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@ GhostCat55
ReplyDelete"word zone" in the image is just a hint.
Notice all the "words" in the text below the image.
Good luck!
Congrats on finishing the 3 paths Jan :)
ReplyDeleteYou're in the Hall of Fame :) now :)
@ jan
ReplyDeleteoh my gooooooood thank you I finally solved it after 3 days lmao
I guess I never seen a solution like that, props to small tool :P
sigh only if i could realize "the word zone" meant the "al****et" sooner
@ Small-tool
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
I found the entrance to "Hell" and are currently thinking about "Gamma".
@ Ghost Cat 55
I'm glad the Med-XVII was solved.
sorry, the comments on 7/26/19, 6:47 are spoiler, so I will delete them.
And another one did it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the 3 paths Di999 :)
You're in the Hall of Fame now :)
Congrats to all new finishers, well done!
ReplyDeleteHi. I've reached Epsilon but I seem to be extremely dim today - I have read the comments and done ftf on main page numbers and answers, spelling them first, and also counting the number of letters in each and doing ftf on the answer. I am getting nowhere, so any help gratefully received please?
ReplyDeleteTo get a (anagram free btw) result you have to treat the nine equations like they're nine sentences. So only use their very firsts and you'll get a nine letter word.
ReplyDeleteThanks s-t. Can't believe I was so stupid. I had 8 of those letters yesterday (missing one line in the middle) so it didn't work and I then started trying all sorts of other things. Oh well, onwards hopefully now.
ReplyDeleteOur Japanese friend Jan finished the whole riddle :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jan, very well done!
You're a hellraiser too now, so you are in the special HOF, the Hell Of Flames
Congratulations Jan. Mega Brainiac to solve a small-tool riddle in a second language. Kudos to you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jan, great job!! I bet you are addicted now :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm finally out of Hell! Three weeks on Omega alone and only out thanks to the help and comments of all who post on here. Many thanks to S-T and all of you.
ReplyDeleteThere is a new Hellraiser of Fame

congrats new finishers, well done!
ReplyDeleteHard O - only got the most obvious egg so far. I think I understand the hints of "lighten the pic" "throw paint to the pic" etc., but I just can't see anything hidden from it, am I missing something here?
ReplyDelete@Keeper: Those FTF letters (in the order they're in) might be more ROTTEN than you expect :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I only have four letters which in their order don't look meaningful in any way :(
ReplyDeletePOP!!
ReplyDeleteA new 'double' finisher :)
ReplyDeleteKeeper

Anyone still listening?
ReplyDeleteNeed a big push on Mu. Can't even get the egg. Have tried counting, adding, removing, granny, googling, nothing.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteGranny on the firsts of the names on the pics should work (answer beginning with M) to get the egg.
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
What the heck :-). I did not have any pictures on my page (just the text).
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I didn't get anywhere.
After reading your comment I refreshed the page and there they are.
Thank you.

It's a long time since anyone has been here...but anyone happens to stroll by...I am really stuck on Med-XXI with the Maths. Have read the hints, but not a clue. Should I be using the pic on the level or al*****t, please? Loving this riddle.
ReplyDeleteVery grateful if anyone sees this and can help:).
Hi Giovanni!! I did the same thing, went straight from A Lot More to TTT. What is wrong with us that we prefer this torture over cold turkey??!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you are on Med XXI. The pic is a hint as to how you should write out the numbers in order to do the math. And with this strange math the answers to the equatins are letters, not numbers. For equations 4 & 6, I found it helpful to write each segment and solve that segment on a separate line and then combine the answers to the segments.
I hope this helps. It's a little past my bedtime so I didn't look over the comments to see what you've read, so I hope I didn't just repeat what you already know.
But now that I know what you are doing I'll keep an eye on this page :)
Hi Tialuisa, very helpful, thanks so much:) Got it straight away with your help. It's a very clever idea.
ReplyDeleteEquations 4 and 6 had really thrown me, but combining them did it. Hope to speak again.
Enjoy the torture, Giovanni:)!
ReplyDeleteHi Tialuisa, if you happen to come here...I'm very stuck on level Hard K. I have the first 10 letters from following the pattern and also the next two letters(S and O)from S-T's hint. Would it be possible to know the next letter please? Can't see where the pattern goes after 'O.'
ReplyDeleteHi Giovanni. Your next letter is 'K.' Let me know if you need more :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Tialuisa, that was just what I needed to get it!
ReplyDeleteAre you still on the path Giovanni?
ReplyDeleterho: Is anyone still listening? I got the egg, know what the cipher is (v*******), but am looking for the key. I tried every word I can think of related to the pictures and the googling. Nobody seems to have had any issues with this so I must be overlooking something obvious. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Bine - As a matter of fact I am keeping tabs on this one.
ReplyDeleteLook at all your possible suspects for the key again. One of them is trying to tell you something:)
oh duh. Should type slower and read. Thank you @tialuisa
ReplyDeleteLast level: I can't read the n****** on egg 3. increased the brightness to max, tried adjusting size, color, contrast, etc., but can't make out all the numbers. I have 1,2,6,? - 1,1,2,2 - 1,7,2,1 - last line is way to fuzzy. help please.
ReplyDelete@Bine - I couldn't make those out either.. Fortunately Dutchie could and gave them to us one page back:
ReplyDeleteLast level 3rd egg numbers are
1 2 6 5
1 1 2 2
1 3 2 1
1 2 2 2
In other news, you cruised through the pyramid like an Egyptologist. Good job!!
Thank you @Tialuisa.
ReplyDeleteAfter three years in hell I am finally out. Phew, it was hot in there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats @Bine:) Time to kick back with a cold one!!

And here's your well deserved CERTIFICATE
Dear S-T - the Standard ROT is no longer part of this page on EG24, need a push for Hard E
ReplyDeleteazbellman,
ReplyDeleteCaesar shift or Caesar rot(ation cipher is a simple way of coding. The alphabet shifts a certain amount of letters. Like if a coded letter is B and the cipher is rot1 then the needed letter is B+1=C
Standard Rot is 13. It's popular and often used because you can use the same decoder (because the alphabet is 26) to decode and encode.
Anyway, forget, or not :) about all that technical info. The level says 'standard rot' to start with. So the first letter (the P) is Rot 13.
The picture shows you what Rot every next letter is. Like the second is 1 higher so that's Rot 14 etc. etc.
Here's a good decoder with all Rots:

thank you S-T! On to F.

anyone around can give a hand on level Eta? I read the previous post and looks like I need to rotate and probably need to read from the other side. I tried using the words (big or small) to rot the ciphercode up or down based on the letter... but not really getting anything readable...
ReplyDeletepop... got the egg... the order really matters
