Lost Desert Plot Discussion #131 (Summary in First Post)

[Hangman]

I did my symbols forwards, and got scarabs.

Now it won't let me do them backwards
Do you think I'll have to wait a few hours?

The same thing happened to me, just refresh your comic and try again, that should do the trick

[Illyria]

i'm at weapon choice now are we supposed to chose a certain one?

[Casi]

does it matter which weapon I choose? I don't know which one to pick.

[aznchboi627]

Do your weapon dissapper after you fight Razul? Because I heard it does, but mine didnt

[melmite]

does it matter which weapon I choose? I don't know which one to pick.

It doesn't seem to matter.

EDIT: Just typed in ye olde shortcut to battledome challengers (you type "javascript:MakeOnePlayerChallenge(156)" to get Razul) and I got this:

ERROR : You have already weakened Razul!

I had to type in an incorrect system of 16 symbols...then when I went back to the fortune teller it was gone and let me type in the correct (reverse) order one.

What weapon?????

[Armi]

You have beaten Razul!
You have won this fight!

Yay for psycho high HP. No draw for me. ..and I still have my spear.

[ashbashed]

I chose Mace of righteous flame then it said...wait a minute...it just fell right apart

What the heck!!!!!!????? Im sad!

[May]

I'm so happy that the plot and puzzle has continued!! I feel like it's exciting again!

I picked the Spear of Infinite Wisdom for my weapon from Nuria. My battle with Razul was a draw. I also cannot fight him again, but it says I have weakened him

Good luck to all who are still continuing! And to those who have always been one step ahead, you have done a fantastic job figuring things out. Thanks for helping those of us that love the puzzles, but need a little help

[bakenekoneechan]

I got a draw :/
But I still have the spear, too.
Is everyone's weapon breaking when they pick it up, or only some people's?

Wrt the super-TT (sounds like motorcycling or sth lol), i think good method is this: pick 3 symbols. Each symbol has 6 items. 3 x 6 = 18 max for tablet is 16 so your 3rd symbol you only use 4 of.

If you have no(t many) white or black: GOOD. Then you can figure out which symbol is (almost; preferebly not at all) not in use. That is a GOOD THING. B/c you have to use all 16 spots, if you know a certain symbol is not in the sequence and you combine that together w/other symbols then you know the white or black is about a certain symbol (NOT the one which is not in the tablet). It may take a while until you figure which symbols are NOT in your tablet though.

When i play TT, i first do all white (does not cost time to change to ath either) then i anticipate. I then do (black - #_of_correct_whites) in random order. From there it gets a bit more complex, but if you stay calm its not hard. Then you add in blue, then red. This is so you know how many of each color is in the sequence. Back to super-TT, you could use a similar method to see which ones are in the sequence. But since you need to use 16 spaces i propose going from all_incorrect to correct instead of from some_correct to some_more_correct.

I can't get to this part of the game sadly b/c TNT is buggy.

Btw the TT game is a clone of the game "Mastermind". Theres also a different version of it called "Supermastermind" although i'm not sure how thats exactly written.

[Illyria]

better not affect what we get though if our weapon ended up to not be what it was to be i chsoe the sword and it ended up being "a piece of junk" my pet said

[anjuna]

im only up to my second crystal and dont wanna go further in the repository. can anybody give me a good reason to continue?

If you don't want to go further, then that is your choice (and limitation). One good reason (the one I usually use) is to prove to yourself that you can do it; whilst you spite TNT for making you think that you couldn't.

[ashbashed]

Well, the mace of righteous flame was still in my inventory, I went to battle, defeated him WHOOhooo!! I was the winner but he was not defeated, just weakened. Whew, Im exhausted, heh!
