The Mystery Begins!

    This one translates to OLD...

    So we now have OLD, BASTION, HOWLING, PASSAGE

  • And now we have one from @petedamato12 on Twitter:

    alt text

    This one is "OF"

    So we have OLD, BASTION, HOWLING, PASSAGE, OF

  • Are the notes only showing up on Thieves Haven? Or are they found just anywhere?

    Ah, sorry, just re-read one of your other messages that it's not just there. I can sail for a bit and see what i can find :)

  • And we now have another, courtesy of Sadden and Toast Flynn on Discord:
    alt text

    This one is "NW"....

    Meaning we have: NW, OLD, BASTION, HOWLING, PASSAGE, OF


    EDIT:

    Missed a couple while I was sleeping (sadly, I'm working this weekend so likely I'll miss a few) but, according to the crew on Discord, we now have:

    NW, OLD, BASTION, HOWLING, PASSAGE, OF, HOME, and OLD again


    Just adding sources for Home and Old (the second one):

    HOME (via JRN on Discord)
    alt text

    OLD (via u/CallMeLink on Reddit)
    alt text

  • And one from @JamJags on Twitter:

    alt text

    SHROUD

    Meaning we have SHROUD, NW, OLD, BASTION, HOWLING, PASSAGE, OF, HOME, and OLD again

    (note: one of the OLDs has ["] at the end, there's some debate over whether this is intentional or not)

  • Looks like something we gotta rearrange. I was thinking something like: NW Passage of Old Howling Bastion or something. Now with the new hints popping in I haven't got a clue x.x

  • New word found... (Reddit u/cinemafreak1)

    alt text

    This reads as BEAR

    • BEAR

    • OLD
    • BASTION
    • HOWLING

  • Old Howling Bear?

    There’s a howling boar; the mountain on Devil’s Ridge is meant to look like a screaming boar from the Northeast…. This whole mystery is givin me a headache

  • @realstyli THE RETURN OF THE MIDNIGHT PROWL!!!!! 🤩 Alright, let’s wrap up the mystery so we can bag the ship set. Been waiting for it ever since they announced Arena’s Closure!

  • @klutchxking518 you might be onto something, they just posted devils ridge for the Sunday vibes.

  • So I'm kinda curious how do we know when we have all the cyphers to spell out this message? Seems like more people are finding these notes over time.

  • @d3adst1ck a dit dans The Mystery Begins! :

    @realstyli said in The Mystery Begins!:

    Not gonna lie, I agree that has been the most frustrating part of this. I'm also not fond of progressing it with no confirmation at times of exactly what we did right.

    I'm hoping we get some sort of breakdown at the end, so we can make sense of it all.

    They could have easily split this into phases or chapters, where you'd get a satisfying conclusion to a question and the mystery arc would continue.

    1. Who was murdered?
    2. What is the murder weapon?
    3. Who does the murder weapon belong to?
    4. Who is the murderer?
    5. What was the motive?
    6. Conclusion

    We've finished Step 0, since that was basically given to us when this started, but do we have any answers to any of the other parts after a couple months of doing this? Nope. I understand that they are setting a pace for how fast the mystery is able to be unraveled so that everyone can sort of follow along, but the problem is there hasn't been any actual development or relevant information revealed.

    Personally, I wish most of the clues or mystery info would be in-game or on the main website on a new tabs being updated when someone find something and where we could get a small live chat section with other players.

    Being all over the place right now is very difficult to follow up.

    Something like : X player found a note on Y island. # of pirates found the same.

  • @realstyli I imagine the order of these words aren’t random so could all the words found before a word with quotations possibly be grouped together in a sentence? Or maybe we’ll be able to group all quotations words together? I’m trying to start structuring some of the sentences and wondering if discord has touched on the phrases yet. We’d have to possibly be getting quite a few words to make the quotations together a sentence.

    The order of the words in that list is when they were posted to social media and added to the list, so I wouldn't use that as an indicator at all.

    The box quote at the end could be a sentence ending symbol though, and not quoted words as everyone previously thought.

    Actually, the list I am posting is a bit out of order... I just put them randomly at first, and at some point started adding at the end because it was easier. It makes no odds as we don't know the correct order yet anyway.

    The Fandom WIKI might be a better place to look if folks want the list in order of when they were found and posted...

    Also, the Discord is a good place to stay really up to date, someone usually posts as soon as one is found, and the important information is pinned (can get a little riled up though with some folk going a bit wild on theories).

    It's best to bring popcorn if one is to visit the Discord channel, lol :)

    There are a couple of "characters", but most folk there are helpful and knowledgeable.

  • A howling wolf plots due course at midnight. NW of home past an old fort. Aiming for the shroud a man desperate to leave his past behind, but in the end doesn't our past catch upto us? To sink another's ship is the past time of a reaper correct?

    Hello hell0666, what method did you use to write this out of the words?

  • @jetorchidee97 the story has been told in riddles, is it not clear? The answer from one leads the pirates to here. The story's unfold on shroudbreaking tides and the songs of freedom fill up the skies. Follow the music she said and your heading be true, but now he is dead, what shall we do.

    It couldn't be any clearer! Here's to the crew!

  • Day 22 Wanda ship catches him
    Day 21 was burying the chest at plunder valley
    Day 20 was giving Tony the log
    Day 16-19th they were chased by lessedi ship
    Day 15 UMBRA gives him the notes
    Day 14 the crew start fighting
    Day 13 on the way to discovery ridge
    Day 12 he gets to know the new crew
    Day 11 Tracy gives him a crew at smugglers Bay
    Day 10 sends message to Tony that he's coming
    Day 9 debt to Colin wanderers
    Day 7&8 visits a fort
    Day 6 tad vision
    Day 4-5 marauders arch with scarlet
    Day 3 he departs from seadogs rest
    Day 1 &2 he prepares his ship

  • Wanda did not catch up to and kill DeMarco. She was trapped in the Sea of the Damned the whole time.

    We know this from the last Adventure where Amaranta says she was blamed for his death.

    It's only at the end of that Adventure that Amaranta provides the Dark Brethren (including Wanda and Duke) the means to get back from the Sea of the Damned.

  • First "new" word in over a day!
