Is there any hint to decrypt directions for Archives entrance puzzle?
So, is there any scroll, note or whatever to help you decrypt the puzzle for Archives and the other door? Ive spent my time trying to figure it on my own, but it makes little sense - other than directions, there has to be something like number of steps in it or something else, cant figure it.
Knowing already that the game forces you to find and use various hints, can someone point me in the right direction, if there is any? Sofar ive cleared the three early areas with dungeons, part of the map with pyramid (except middle island and the magic barrier crack in the water), pyramid dungeon, desert (except killing the ridiculous golems), dungeon with spider puzzle, sewers (except the - i think - secret room (water area after the "follow the leader" spikes puzzle, with something green and shiny in it, couldnt find any opener or anything), the ruins map you get to from sewers.
Ive been carefully following every hint i had and observing every wall/block to find buttons everywhere and couldnt find or cant remember anything about Archives. Theres also 2 scrolls i found in pyramid with a hint for some treasure oslt in cementery, but i didnt take my time on it yet.

Yes. It's in the Lexiconary below the Archives.

Yes you find a hint-scroll for that riddle later.

Although you should be able to figure it out now. You already guessed there are directions and numbers involved. The archive riddle is the easier one so start with that.

Also, if you go back to western Twigroot Forrest you will find a sign with the same writing. Given what you know now and taking the surrounding map into account you should be able to figure it out quickly. From there you are only missing a few more words to solve the archive riddle.

One note, the storage riddle has an inconsistency (i'm pretty sure it's unintended error). The 1st and 3rd sentences only have one word. They miss the corresponding word for number 1. Even though another line in the same riddle spells it out. It's unnessecarily confusing...

Oh yeah, i somehow knew there was something written using this code in the early stage of the game, but couldnt bother searching for it yet. Thanks.

Yep, that confused the hell out of me, pretty much screwed all my theories for it.

On a side note, where is Lexiconary, or more like, where of the already visited areas of mine, in case i missed it? Or do i get there from Archives (that would make no sense)?
