Chamber 1
The purpose of this guide is to give extra guidance to the answer of the puzzle, without trying to provide the answer outright.

1.01
1 The units of measurement and their numbers are not important
2 What the words describe isn't important
3 The first letter of each word is important

1.02
1 Punctuation, format, capitalization, special characters are all unimportant
2 Only certain words are important
3 Some words are spelled incorrectly
4 Every misspelled word is missing or adding only 1 letter

1.03
1 The letters are not important
2 Looking at the problem from a new perspective is important
3 The wall is important, but not the alphabet on the wall

1.04
1 The italizied words are important
2 The answer is only 4 characters long
3 The answer is a number
4 Free sounds similar to a number

1.05
1 The letters are not important
2 Right click is important
3 Look very closely at the punctuation

1.06
1 All of these numbers are less than 30
2 Think of the numbers as - 3 8 18 15 14 15
3 Letters can be translated as numbers

1.07
1 There is three different shapes of squares
2 Full squares are spaces
3 Morse code is useful here

1.08
1 Not all letters are the same size
2 SCIE n CE IS KNOW l ED ge i S P ow E r
3 Each 5 letters is part of a collection.
4 This puzzle uses binary. Find a pattern to turn the letters into binary
5 The first letter is B

Chamber 2
2.01
1 The first letter is C
2 The last letter is R

2.02
1 The puzzle has an even number of letters
2 The entrance's paragraph on transposition explains the solution
3 The first word is THE

2.03
1 All the letters are in order
2 This plays on the expectation that all words are read left to right, up to down.

2.04
1 This isn't solved reading up, down, left, or right
2 X's are spaces
3 The first word starts with the letter A
4 Try and find the word JADE
5 Try and find the word TRUST

2.05
1 The Q's are breaks
2 Puzzle 2.03's solution is similar to this one
3 The first word is STRIKE

2.06
1 Puzzle 2.02's solution is similar to this one
2 There is 32 letters in this sentence.
3 Puzzle 2.02 is a solution by 2, but this one is not

2.07
1 Find words that can be created using a Knights movement
2 Try starting from Q to find a word
3 Find the word QUEEN. Scratch these letters off to help find another word
4 The first word starts with C
5 The second word starts with K, if you can't figure out the word for C, try K first

2.08
1 This puzzle has 30 letters
2 Like puzzle 2.02 and 2.06, we need to find the divisible number
3 The first word is TWO
4 Do some math
Chamber 3
3.01
1 One letter words can presumably be A or I
2 Try and solve some of these first RBXP, BA, GTP, THZ
3 Now try these XHZP, HQZ, WQ, XL
4 UTPQ, THSWQD, VQBUKPZDP
5 ABOPVQBUKPZDP, QBIKPXHQ

3.02
1 The numbers below the alphabet is occurance. Remember to use the frequency guide.
2 ZMX is the most occuring word.
3 C is a 1 letter word. Solve ZMVZ, ZG
4 Think of these 3 together ZMXP, ZMXR, RP
5 UCZM, LGRX, KGU, LGGK
6 UJCZZXK (at this point you may be able to guess the solution)
7 VJJCEVO

3.03
1 6:21 3:11 this. This puzzle uses the same style as the previous two, look for single letter words and the word THE. This puzzle is not designed in a format that is simple to provide hints for so you're on your own

3.04
1 Letters by frequency. A-12, C-3, E-18, F-4, G-16, F-4, H-2, J-26, K-18, L-18, M-4, N-12, O-3, P-12, Q-1, R-2, S-19, T-3, U-4, V-5, W-3, Y-18, Z-17
2 J = e , K = t
3 S = o , N = L
4 L = a , Z = s
5 Y = i , P = r
6 G = n , A = d
Chamber 4
4.01
1 The top is the key, the bottom is the encryption
2 The first letter is T
3 T + F = Z
4 What plus L = T? (The second letter of the key + ? = The second letter of the encrypt)
5 At K we need to start at F in Flash again

4.02
1 What letters repeat?
2 JCW repeats twice, how many characters are between them? Can we guess the length of the key?
3 There is 15 characters, so the key is either 3 or 5 letters long
4 Since JCW is a 3 letter word, let's guess some popular 3 letter words and create 3 letter keys for them
5 JCW = THE

4.03
1 We need to find similar repeating characters. Here's the text LAFLUIWOYWPADUFHSNBVSWVNDZQDUF
RBPLUYQPLWLPHZRLUEDUBSYMIPRDIJ
HTYQUCUZYLKFRSKHZBUHULUEKPQFOY
LYSSAMWOCWHZOLGDTDDPPOFDDTGOPY

LHLDSWCLMQLFXUBULBDUBVPVWFQHWY
UHRHJGSOCUZZXAGFVLILQVAFDARKPQ
LZCQAGULJBUCZAMPL

2 Here are the repeating characters, by frequency and then order (LUE - 3, WOY - 2, DUF - 2, DUB - 2, CUZ - 2, KPQ - 2, AFH - 2)
3 One of these is the word THE
4 AFH = THE
5 AFH is not aligned with the start of the encryption, so the key needs to be transpositioned

I didn't know that for 1.08 was using a form of cipher I hadn't been taught yet, Its a bacon cipher
the Seal of Approval Mar 10 @ 10:18pm 
A better hint for 3.4 is ignore the line breaks, they're useless. Just treat it like one whole log of text
vaig Feb 10 @ 9:07am 
how do you understand that in 1.08 you need to split every 5 characters?
Dec 7, 2024 @ 6:45am 
why in chamber 2 puzzle 2,when I type ELMTREE,it‘s a correct answer?:steamfacepalm:

I figured it out, in case anyone wants a small little help:

Its an extract from a part of the book "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes"
Dr. Death Jul 12, 2024 @ 8:28pm 
Actually this took me about 1 hour but here, i replaced the 3.03 symbols to latin:

3.03 be like "changing the symbols does not provide better cryptography strength" No but it makes it impossible to write and parse the letters into a website to help decrypting quicker...
trew Jul 2, 2024 @ 8:19pm 
Awesome :D
Dr. Death Jul 2, 2024 @ 7:55pm 
It did!
trew Jul 2, 2024 @ 7:51pm 
@Dr. Death No you aren't, it's a bit tricky. Uppercase letters are zeros, lowercase letters are ones. Divide them into groups of five. Then: think of '00000' as the first possible combination making it the first letter, ergo: 00000 = A, 00001 = B, and so on.

Sorry, late answer. I hope it helps anyway.
