I have no djo's, but tested anyway with no results.

I also want to let everyone know that in the chat, we are only working on theories and brainstorming for ideas. It is a little easier on us doing this there because most of us would spend our time answering questions to help others catch up, if we were on the forum. At least one of us is constantly checking the board and updating the rest of you on our progess.
The only reason dolphinling was asked not to post what he had done last night was to avoid confusion until we could test it out and were sure that it was in fact a clue and could be reproduced. So far, we are unable to reproduce it at will, therefore we can't explain it and are still testing to discover "how" to get the message to occur. So, please try to understand that the chat is not meant to be some "secretive operation," we are trying to help everyone in the best way we can.

That said, I have a ballgame to go to (while trying not to fall asleep!) I wish you all the best of luck!

Edit: Deleting some quotes to avoid confusion.

Anyone that had a Tomb "Loop" any suggestions would be apprciated. Thanks.

EDIT: It is at his second level, too, just 1 click away from his Entrance. This somehow seems all the much more unfortunate for some reason.

I have a tomb loop. But I don't think its a problem. I have access to all 3 libraries even with a loop. You must've missed something... :s

I have 1 loop, and I had no trouble. I've managed to get all the way up to needing to find a spike trap. Found a gas trap instead

craftdee are you reading your first crystal scrolls?

Look at my post on page 5 - I have pictures there. You have to read your scrolls in the order of the Card Catalog, NOT your tablet - and you have to read ALL 4 of the first color scroll, then the 4 middle color scroll, then the last 4 color scrolls.

I had one or two - you could click on the arrow forever and it would cylce me through the same set of doors...

it was not a problem.

It took me so long to figure out I had a loop. I thought I had a VERY long row of rooms. There are only 2 rooms in my loop but I was counting as I found it and thought there were over 12 of them lol

Devlish · #98 Post by **Devlish** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:28 pm

woohoo, finally got spiked!

The door # thing was wrong. They seemed to numbered 1-5 on each page. LOL, I would have figured that out if I'd waited till after lockout to post. It must be random or too hard for me to figure out anyway. Another theory bites the dust.

i dont know who did this but i want to thank the person i got my map from

http://petpages.neopets.com/~AppleDumpling97

if i didnt have it id be totally lost cause i am NO good at mapping anything. soo....THANK YOU!

Devlish · #100 Post by **Devlish** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:46 pm

I finally got spiked, I went to the scroll repository, went into the room with the minature sakhmet and nothing. I only get a faint pink back ground. Flash is not working/behaving oddly. If I can't see my room I can't tell if the light is on.

The only solution I know is to use Firefox. It does load the room in there. But I did all of my scroll reading on Internet Explorer. Will it mess up my cookies, etc if I switch browsers? Is there way to just clear the old flash image in IE. It might be corrupted but being dial up I don't want to clear my whole cache. It makes the repository so slow while my cache rebuilds it takes hours to navigate the basement and temple that way. 45 minutes from door to catacombs.

EURIKA!!!

Thank you everconfused !!
I understand!! What I was missing was the colors on the chrystal. I kept going and looking at it and couldn't see anyting that showed colors...until I thought to click on the durned thing.

Sorry to ask but I'm a bit lost on the latest thing to do, I've already read my scrolls and got the sharp eye message, then gone to my temple and got to the spike trap (it was in my second try, right on the middle door of the entrance room on the temple) both while my cristal was on the SDB and with it on the inventory and nothing, ¿What I'm missing to advance?

My light was around 2:10 PM NST, so I have 15 minutes to get it.

craftdee! YAY! I tell you, this scroll reading, in which order, what color, etc. confused me no end.

That's why I finally put everything together on one image - to help me get it straight. Figured why not share it?

Devlish, I'm using FF too ... if your model room looks like it's almost in "shadows", then it's probably not the right time for you to try to get your lights/colors. The room will almost look like it's in sunlight before you add the crystal.

But you can always try clicking on the dome, just to see if it does work. If not, try next hour. You'll be able to see a difference in the light in the room, honest.

Ah, the second crystal - when you got spiked, did you click on the skull? You should have seen something at the bottom of the screen saying you got a second useless crystal. The new one has a "triangle" with 3 colors in the middle.

If you have that crystal in your inventory, that's the only one you'll have. The 2 crystals kind of "merge". Do NOT put the new crystal anywhere - it'll disappear if you try to move it to your SDB or gallery!

Have you read any scrolls after getting the sharp eye message? Cause lots of people had to redo the whole sequence to get the sharp eye message cause they had read other scrolls after getting it and therefor they also didn't get their second crystal... (I was one of them :battar:

)

You need to get the second crystal.

Click on the eye of one of the skulls - the skull on the right, the upper eye is clickable. You'll get your second crystal.
