Crypticism Hunting

[AtomicPeace]

Has anyone had any luck finding the crypticisms? I've only managed to find the 2nd one so far. Even if I'm pretty sure I have certain locations, it's hard to parse out what the keyword is supposed to be.

[covered in bees]

I've been hunting these as well, with only slightly more progress.

I've found these carvings:

Bat (right outside Tower) could be #7
Bull (a room or two before Bridge) #3
Skull (area with Payn pillars near Bridge)
Star (on a boat in Pantry) maybe #5?
Anchor (deep in Seacaves) could be for #1 or #8
Crown (Ulara's library fireplace) #2
Lovers Names (maybe included?) (Pantry, on the way to seacaves) maybe for #1?
Dog (I remember finding this on my playthrough but have no idea where it is) likely #6

I was able to solve #2 and #3.
#2 the clue has an odd word choice that should imply what to type.
#3 a bovine idiot that contradicts itself... only one word fits.

My thoughts on the riddles I haven't solved:

#1. I've tried "Untie", "aweigh", the sorts of things you'd do with an anchor, assuming it's the "twisted tail", with no results. I think it might be the lovers' carvings in Pantry, as it's the only carving in two places "face to face". This also might be the bat carving, as the "backwards rodents".
#4. I don't even know where to start with this one honestly.
#5. I'm pretty sure it's at the star carving ("celestial champion"), no clue how to arrive at the name though.
#6. Dog carving for sure - I assume the name is one of the words in the first line of the riddle.
#7. Assume it's the bat carving, the 'musical crony'. Can't think of what the mixed up place might refer to.
#8. "scatters seeds" makes me think the answer includes "sow".

Lyre carving in
Vitus's room , first right as you take that fast travel. Possibly
the musical crony in #3
Edit:
In the interest of completeness, the Bull is specifically
From the Bridge teleport, turn around, go straight through the door, then take the door to the right. the Bull is then all the way to the left.

Managed to get the third and second aswell. Seeing as stuff is getting added i might as well add aswell.

There is a lyre somwhere on the way to vilnus’ tower from bonehouses

In my opinion the first riddle goes with the star since its located on a boat near a gloomy shore and star backwards is rats. But still haven’t been able to solve it

I assume the dog carving is on one of the
Islands . I'll look around for it and report back.

For #4 The player is the one behind the wall. The keys in one hand and the other curled is mouse and keyboard, the buttons and sticks is controller. That said, I'm not sure where "Reversed Key" comes in. It says "Where it flies" so maybe a bat? And "one first step away from a killer" might be writing the word killer one key forwards or back.

Just got #4. The bat is the correct carving.

Nope I was completely wrong, the Dog is actually at Gate, forward and turn left just before the wide staircase with the arches over it

For #5, I think the name might be found in History of the City L in Ulara's library

I was wrong, can confirm The skull is associated with #5 though.

I solved #5, although I kind of stumbled upon the solution.
It is definitely at the Skull
I found that the skull itself was more helpful than the riddle itself....
Hint: her name is a concept
Hint: she is the maker of skulls

Answer: Death

[AtomicPeace]

So, just for what I have so far

#2 Carving: Crown
#3 Carving: Bull
#4 Carving: Bat
#5 Carving: Skull
#6 Carving: Dog

Still looking for the solutions to #1, #7, and #8

I think for their carvings #1 is probably Star (Backwards Vermin, Rats backwards as said earlier), #7 is probably the Lyre (Musical Crony), And #8 the Anchor (Submariner)

[Oafaloaf]

Despite finding the Dog I haven't actually been able to solve it. I'm stumped on it, either I'm missing something about the riddle or I'm completely overthinking it.
I'm still no closer on #1, #7, and #8 either.

If you want some help The name is at the start, but it isn't any one word, it's a combination of parts of a couple of the words.

If you need some more (this might give it away) It's a pretty stereotypical dog name

I think I'm an idiot .... I can't figure out what to type in #3

Tried some words that start with bull, typed in some stupid ones like "picture" or "painting" but I don't get it

Hint: the bull is less important than the fact he contradicts himself
Hint: the word includes a synonym for 'idiot'

Answer: Oxymoron
