Lost Desert Plot Discussion #23 (split)

[redridnhood]

no i havn't...where did you get that quote?

22nd August news page, kinda getting desperate here lol so back tracking on the news now lol

yea i looked it up...but no i never saw them outside of the temple...wonder what they are called.

I did think of something, not sure if it's been mentioned before and I apologize if it has. I wonder if the door to the room Nuria is in will come into play again except we will have to find the door with the symbol that's on the statue. For example the nuria statue in my temple is in the room with a green oval door with the set symbol, and the symbol on the statue is djo....so I may have to eventually find a green oval door with the djo symbol. Like I said just a thought, might be stupid or prove fruitless...just wondered what anybody else thought. Do I even make sense?

Maybe. At this point, no ones theory is stupid. Even if some one theorized something insanely off the wall, it wouldnt be so hard to believe that TNT might actually have planned it. Your theory makes more sense than guessing the Nuria statue room would explode in scarabs after speaking the translated prophecy o_o

The hole in this is that some peoples' statues have the same symbol as the door leading to the statue. So your exact theory doesn't work for everyone, but it just might be the right kind of thinking. What I mean is, the statue room may very well hold the clue we need. Like maybe we need to look for a room with a door that has the color of statue door, the symbol of the statue, but is a different shape(That theory wouldn't take long to prove/disprove, just 3 hours) Or maybe its a door that is the same shape and symbol as the fearie door, but of a different color(that would take 12 hours to prove/disprove)

When looking for the clue, remember what we had to do to find the statue. We had a clue that eliminated most of the possiblities, then we used guess and check to figure out the rest.

I'm a little doubtful that we need to look for another door at this stage. After reading the phrophecy as translated and getting covered in scarabs, the statue wants another phrophecy. I mean we are not being redirected to the beginning of the temple but we stay on that page. So we're missing something in that room or we just need to wait for the next clue.

My statue is in the Gold Oval Kha symbol, and the faeries symbol is the Kha, so I hope thats not it becuase I only found 1 gold oval with the fish on it.
Kind of hope they hold off till tomorrow with the next clue I have one more scroll to read to have all 12 done. When all the scrolls are yread there is only 1 with each symbol and 3 of each color.

[Devilfish]

This might not have anything to do with anything, but in the news when they announced those scrolls, they also talked about new weapons to buy from the lost desert. I checked NeoItems, and those weapons aren't even active.
This was the news post:

If you are planning on fighting for the people of Sakhmet, maybe you should invest in some Armour and Weapons as worn by the Palace Guards.

Ok, I'm one of those people who have started the plot -very- late. In fact, I didn't even know there was a plot until I saw the link here. I've tried 4 doors so far, and all 4 were traps, although one room had a trap of green gas, but in the picture on the floor looked like a scroll. Do I need to try going back in that room to see if I can actually get it, or is it just there for looks? Plus, does the map you get playing pyramids only work after you find your statue? Hopefully after I catch up I can actually contribute to the discussion instead of asking old questions ^^; Thanks!

You dont have to find your statue to find the door on your first parchment ... the door you want to find is the one that matchs the color,shape,sign thats under the single dot (on your first one) I started late too LOL , I am waiting now to get into my temple again and give my statue my "prophecy" If you havnt I would suggest mapping your temple as you search ... makes it easier and quicker to find the doors

did anyone happen to notice under the random contest that it said FACT there is a gift shop in the tomb.

Could this be our next quest? could it have been added to our tombs and now we have to remap?

Since in the random contest they made a point of mentioning aMAZEing and a gift shop I'm going to go to the door in the temple with the maze on it and snoop around. I know it means a 12 hour lock out but I'm really REALLY getting bored with this wait.

Went to the maze door, went in,
- no new links
- nothing in source

Saw the 4 scrolls. One of the scrolls (the Nem) has the definition "Decorating With Sand - Winter Quarterly Here you might never be heard from again" which could mean a maze. Clicked on it. LOCK OUT.

See ya in 12 hours while I try to think up another theory. I really believe the clues are out there. Just have to figure out what they are.

Well up till now, its been one clue for every comic. I think right now they're just having fun with the random contest and LC, and we can expect a new, REAL clue when part 5 hits the site.

[greenbugsy]

Well, I have searched my entire temple for an extra door or one that might have changed, or a blank spot that may not be blank any more for that stupid gift shop! I found nothing. Just thought I would share.

[raylene]

ok, so i've found all my tablet pieces (well, i'm waiting to go in for my last one...), i haven't found the statue room yet though i've narrowed it down now to 1 of 5! what am i supposed to do then? read a scroll? click in the comics? sorry about the questions but i'm lucky i actually managed to UNDERSTAND this plot (yes, i can be kinda slow with regards to neopets )

oh, n thanks to everyone who's looking around...hopefully i'll catch up and might be able to help!!!
