From left to right, for both sequences. (That would be back wall to front.)

You can also check the source code and look for movie= with an URL. At the end of that URL will be your series of colors, with X's for blanks. Getting the sequence from the source code helps to avoid a little confusion with the blanks, esepecially if they are at the beginning or end of the sequence.

So i finally got my 2nd crystal and my lights appeared. Can someone sum up for me what theories have been tried and what still needs to be tried with the second light pattern?

[Mxytdvc]

I noticed something for the second crystal.

If you mess up, you don't have to start over again, only redo the one you messed up on

[Cilian]

second

You look at the colors from back to front of the room. match the sixteen lights and spaces to your tablet. ignore blanks and unchanged colors. with your new colors, compare to your old colors to see what color has been added. For example, if your old color was red and now it's purple, blue has been added. Now starting at the bottom right of your tablet, you work your way backwards reading the two scrolls of the colors blending for that space. if your color is purple, read both the red and blue. Symbol is the same as from your tablet. Look at the catalog to find the rooms. Once both scrolls are read, you should get a message giving you a new location in the repository. Go to that location and read the scroll of the blended color, same symbol. If you read a blue ahn and a red ahn, go to the new location and read a purple ahn. You will end up reading 24 scrolls total. If you read the right scrolls and you don't get the location message, try reversing the order in which you read them.

wait, has there been progression? I just woke up--do we know what to do with the new colours from the second crystal? If so, why isnt it in the main post yet?
Can someone detail them for me, please?

It's not in the first post because progress has only just been made. If you read back through the previous few pages it's all been made as clear as it can be. If you can't understand it then ask.

...wow. You're a kind one. Thanks...?

Now that you mention it, i'm still a little confused by how we figure out the non RBY colours' scrolls.
Could someone who doesnt mind answering questions shed a little light on this?

I apologise if that sounded a bit short, it was just that it was explained a lot better by other people than I could have done. I've only just got it sorted in my own head.

Second has been cracked. Either read my last post, or go back a page or two where people explain it a little differently.

thanks cilian.

Have ppl found the 3rd crystal, or the 2nd clue?

Sorry if im lazy and dont want to read through the last 3 threads

[Q]

Gosh, brilliant, I got :

Your pet deciphers the scroll!

"This clue does not exist."

I can't find what to do next...I assume fall into another trap to get the 3rd crystal?

edit: nvm, just fell into a jelly trap and voila! (my spikes were behind a pentagon, so I just tried the next pentagon on the first level)

So now I guess I just have to wait for my light at 4pm :|

[mashette]

i have done all that, but the only message i get is:

"Hmm, interesting!

Your pet reads the scroll and hopefully learns something!"

no matter which way round i read them!

this is soo annoying! i had to wait for ages for my light as well!

[endeavourl]

A quick question.

When I start my 2nd set of scroll reading. Say I have a djo as my last tablet symbol, and it corresponds to a orange on my lights. If my 1st set of lights gave yellow, I would go to the room corresponding to the red djo on my catalogs, and read both the red and the yellow djo scrolls there?

Then continue on to the 2nd to last tablet symbol?

[shapu]

Mashette, you are working on the second set of scrolls, I presume.

When you are reading the scrolls, are you picking the LAST symbol/color combination from the tablet? Remember, for the second set you read the tablets backwards, rather than frontwards.

EDIT: EndeavorL:
Read the scrolls from back to front on the tablet, yes. Make sure that the color order is based on the color order of your new card catalogs. Mine was RBY, so I read R before Y, B before Y, and R before B.
