This morning I had another furtile look at the scroll repository and found this: Hey! You've been looking for this!


Useless Crystal
which looked like the second crystal all over again.

I'm wondering if it has been reset now and I can do it over again. And at what stage do I do it again? Ah well I'll go to the model city and see if it can shed any light (haha) on it.

Edit: Just had a thought. If it has reset me at the end of 2nd crystal then all I need to do is go and fetch the next crystal out of the jelly trap again and I do not need to go to the model city because the lights will not have been changed. Because the lights aren't on at the moment I give that a go first. Unless someone has a better idea... I do so want to finish the plot. I was up to date with everything untill I got stuck in a rut with this one. :cry:

2nd edit: I have been to the jelly trap and there is no crystal there. I go and try my luck doing the random colour sequence for my blank scrolls again. Cross fingers I'll get lucky this the 12th or so time.


I got the same thing but now I have two useless crystels, one #2 ,one #3

I started trying to highlight the symbols in my comic but having problems with pages loading again.
This is just a suggestion, so can ppl refrain from being rude or saying its a stupid idea. I know everyone has the same symbols in there model room, so I just thought I'd throw this out there. :oops:


I don't think it is a silly idea. With our Insane puzzle designers, there is no telling what may or may not be a clue. :P I believe some things were tried with those symbols when the map rooms were first discovered. You can run a search to find the correct splits and see what has / hasn't been tried already.

This plot really is a mess... I'm heading towards Anubis Toxicology Reports for the, oh, 4th time now?

After the bug fix yesterday, the crystal the chef gives you now should be the last one you actually "earned". If he gave you the third crystal, you can pick up from there to obtain your fourth. If he gave you the second crystal, you need to pick up from there to obtain your third.

Hang in there, Wind... you'll make it. ;)

Thanks, I just wondered as I joined the repository part of this plot quite late on so I wasn't sure which ideas had been tried and tested :)

"The only stupid question is the one not asked." (forgot who said it)

I must say, people on these boards are very polite, considerate and downright helpful compared to the NP boards. I congratulate you all.

On the subject of "who's going to save the day" I guess I'd have to vote for Tomos right now (although from the latest comic, Jazan seems more likely) if for no other reason than I can't see what he's doing in the gallery of heroes? I haven't seen him do anything 'heroic' in the plot, indeed every contribution he's made seems to have been born out of greed. The gallery is after all dedicated to 'those who uphold the law' whereas Tomos does little else than try to steal anything he can get his hands on. Don't know about you but this seems a poor example for Neo to be setting for the younger readers of this comic.

Nabile failed to save the day earlier, and princess Amira does look quite useless. But if Tomos was going to save the day, why didn't TNT wait a couple of days to release his avatar?

I'm seriously considering burning down Anubis Toxicology Reports. I got directed there again.

Do the symbols in the order they appear on your tablet. They should have been blank for each and every light sequence. If you have three nems last, I think you'll find they all have different correct color orders. Use this color order Y - B - R - Y - B - Y - R - B - Y to help you find the right combination. Stopping when you get a room message and going to that room for the white scrolls.
The good news is, the primary colored nem scrolls should remain in the same locations. So once you find the scrolls in the room indicated on the card catalog, you won't be hinting for them again. (Be sure to write down their locations.)

I'm not sure whether anybody has asked this b4 but hope u all can help. :P

Need some help with getting the third crystal. I have fallen into the jelly trap but I did not get any picture of the jelly blob, just words, thus no crystal :( . I have already completed all the tasks (such as getting 2nd crystal and reading all the scrolls to get the clue).

The same actually happened for the 2nd crystal but thanks to the link provided i was able to get the 2nd crystal.

Is there a link for the 3rd crystal too?


I would suggest that you view the source code and find the link in it yourself. You'll notice the ucmc part just like for the second. The same can be done for your fourth when the time comes.

However, it sounds like some type of security setting is what is causing your images not to display. You might consider disabling any type of adblocking programs while in the temple to see if it helps.


Yeah! It works after i disabled my security. Thanks a million! :D

Ok i have my color sequence found in the the model room and I labeled the symbols on my tablet accordingly. My crystal tells me to do yellow first so does that mean I read the symbol(out of the four that are yellow) closest to the top of the yellow card catalouge?

yes. read all 4 yellows first (in your card catalouge order), then all 4 of the next color, then the last color.

Hmm, so nothing new on the clue side and we don't really know that much backstory yet...I keep thinking Jazan will defeat Razul and die in the process, leaving Nabile to rule over his kingdom, seems like something TNT would do, but I hope not, Jazan has grown on me :)
