Hello everyone! This is my first post here. Since I'm unable to use mobile authentication for a while, I am unable to actually create a puzzle raffle. So I'm trying something else!
I've decided to make a difficult puzzle for people to do. I'll tell you if you get it right! Just send your ideas for what is correct or incorrect in the comment. I will confirm the answer there. So if you want it to find it out yourself, then please don't read the comments!
So; There are Three Sections to the puzzle, and a final section to determine the puzzle based off of the fragments given in the first three sections. Let us begin, hm?
Section 1: Don't Escape
Find the missing words, and put them in alphabetical order. If a word appears more than once in the paragraph that is missing, only put it in the final list it once.
Don't Escape is a series of video games by the game developer Scriptwelder. In the most recent game in the series, you have to survive in a post-apocalyptic world after an event caused by the corporation known as Sidereal Plexus. The event that caused this apocalypse resulted in the shattering of the ____, resulting in stellar radiation to shower the planet, causing lots of ______ life to mutate into dangerous beasts native to the post-apocalyptic earth. Weather patterns were altered to otherworldly levels. Finally, world governments fell into chaos. By the time the game begins, it is only ____ days until the ____ destroys all life.
Section 2: Shapes and Patterns
There are six shapes in this pattern. Using the hints provided, find out the order of them and place the first letter of each together in the same order as their final pattern. This will create the second part of the password.
The six shapes are Circle, Polygon, Cube, Octagon, Square and Triangle.
The polygon is not in the 4th, 5th, or 6th position.
The 4th position is either a square or an octagon.
The third and sixth positions can be seen as the same, so long as you have the right perspective.
The cube is not in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd position.
The circle is to either the left or the right of the Octagon.
The Triangle is either in the 1st or 6th position.
Section 3: Dwarf Fortress Tileset
The video game Dwarf Fortress has a default tileset of ASCII text. To get the final three characters of the password, use the hints to determine the creature or object described, and what it is shown as in the default tileset. All symbols are on the average english keyboard.
Letter 1: It is either a location where lots of humans live in, or an artificial object placed into the ground.
Letter 2: Flowing seas, or waving deserts.
Letter 3: Both the ssshape of my body and the firsssst letter of my name. I have a metal head, and am only ssssslightly sssmaller than a tiger.
Final Section: Deciphering the Password
Only continue if you have gotten the passwords for each of the three previous sections.
First, take the first and last letter of each word you got in Section 1, and arrange them in alphabetical order.
Then take letters of the Section 2 and combine it with the characters of Section 1. If characters repeat, only put it once.
Then, add the characters in from Section 3. Letter 3 should be the same as an already existing character; ignore the 'only put it in once' rule for this character only. After that, Letter 1 goes at the very front, and Letter 2 goes at the back.
The final password you should get will be similar to this:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Good luck!!!
