Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Release

Dear raiders!

Did you think this day would never come or what? Well get ready, Rise of the Tomb Raider for PC comes out TOMORROW (Jan 28 2016)!

Steam players will finally have the chance to try it out, kudos to all the Xbox gamers who spared us of all the spoilers :heart: and so much for those who didn't bother to show the same courtesy

You can pre-purchase the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/391…

Are you excited about the game? Will you be getting it? :) Have you had any of the major plot elements spoiled?

PS players though will still have to wait a little while. It's kind of ironic that PlayStation was the main platform for the original Tomb Raider games when they launched and they were always a part of the PS console and now PS players have to wait and get the game last.... What can we do :shrug:

If you've already had the chance of trying out the game continue to not tell others about it, let's be fair and square :D If you've played it and you'd like to contribute to the discussion, you're welcome to say if you've liked it or not and why (without revealing too much ;) )

Until next time, happy raiding! :dummy:

Dear raiders!

The release date for the anticipated Rise of the Tomb Raider is getting closer and we've got some news about it! A launch trailer has been released so make sure to give it some love:



Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming out for Xbox November 11 – presumably lots of you will get your chance to try it out but a lot of you won't, so we will try to keep it low key with updates not to spoil anything, maybe not update at all. Until then, tell us about your impressions!



Happy raiding! :heart:

Solutions for the 6th Challenge Game

Hover the titles for more info


Dear raiders!



And now, onto the puzzle solutions for the 6th Challenge Games!


SOLUTIONS

The solutions are backed up with visual explanations. The easiest way to enlarge an image is to right-click and open in new tab, as they're all outgoing links.


Level 1
If you take a close look at the mirror in the room, it distorts the reflection: it's flipped both horizontally and vertically. There is also a stone with a weird inscription on it, or better say little dots. If you flip the stone horizontally and vertically like the mirror suggests and connect the dots you get very simple letters forming the password AVTO.





Level 2
In this level you find yourself with a contraption where rings are fitted in. All the lit spaces on it are indicators  where to put said rings but to make it easier you have a sketched version of those in Lara's journal along with their corresponding numbers! You also have 5 rings with their own numbers. After figuring out which ring goes where, you have to connect the contraption numbers with the ring numbers and multiply them.



Since the password has to contain 5 digits (one for each ring) after multiplying you will end up with bigger numbers with more than one digit, so you have to add up the numbers for as long as you don't end up with a single digit.

For example, the first combination is 14x3. That's 42. To get a single digit you have to add 4+2, and that's 6.

After each combination gives a single digit result, just write them down in the order Lara sketched them. The final password is 69116.


Level 3
In the Crypt you have 4 number puzzles and a shelf with differently colored powder viles. First you have to solve the number puzzles. You will see that if you add up the numbers from any row and any column it will be exactly the same. So the right result for puzzle 1 is 111, puzzle 2 is 34, puzzle 3 is 120 and puzzle 4 is 177.

An important detail you can't miss is that each of those number tables contains a carving of a fruit. Bananas, pomegranate, kiwis and plums (yellow, red, green and purple). Here's where the powder viles come in. There is more than one shade of color for each of the fruits but you have to choose the correct one – the one which looks the best, meaning the one which is mostly saturated with color. That way you connect each puzzle result with the letter labeling the corresponding color and align the password in the order the puzzles went (puzzle1, puzzle2, etc). You get the password as follows: 111A34M120O177N




Level 4
In this level Lara finds a mashed pile of facial feature cutouts along with a page from a quotes book.  In order for the quotes to mean something, you have to solve the facial features part - reconstruct them. You will see that for everyone there are facial parts missing – except for Ernest Hemingway! His portrait can be fully completed and he is your clue for the quotes page then.



To decypher the quotes page you have to use the numbers on it and apply them on Hemingway's quote: There are 2 visible numbers and a hidden one! Going from top to bottom, you take number 1  from the title, number 5 (hidden) because Hemingway's quote comes 5th in order, and number 216 marking the page. To get the actual password, you take letters from the quote in the order the numbers go. Number 1 marks the first letter of the quote, number 5 marks the fitfh, and so on. That way you end up with a password TohTr.




Level 5 part 1
Having obtained all 4 pieces of the artifact to enter the Egypt level, you just combine the password bits from each piece: 67904286348867


You have a set of canopic jars and a little poem. You have to know what each canopic jar used to contain in order to connect it to the poem. The baboon-headed god jar contained lungs. The jackal-headed god's jar contained the stomach. The human-headed god's jar  contained the liver. The lion-headed god's jar contained the intestines.

You will see that in the poem each verse can be applied to a specific organ.There is also a number in each verse. Combining the right canopic jar with the verse, you once again multiply the corresponding numbers, and align the results in the order going from top to bottom of the poem. You get a password 3165742172.


Level 5 part 2
Lara finds herself in a ceremony chamber and as she describes in her journal, it's the weighing of the soul ritual. Here's what you have to do. Pick the right cartouches by only picking the names of the dieties present at the ritual. Those are Anubis, Maat and Ammit. Their numbers are 9,12 and 15. That adds up to 36.

Then decypher the hyeroglyphs on the papyrus Lara found. It's an easy version where each symbol represents a letter and a bunch of those translations can be found on google images. Once decoded they come out as bravery, compassion, envy, jealousy, love and hatred (not necessarily in that order).



Notice that it's an even number of traits/emotions, and that there are 3 of the good ones and 3 of the bad ones. There are mulitple possible combinations where you can get the number 36 (to match your soul to the feather) with different traits/emotions, but the correct one is picking only the good ones. Bravery (6p), Compassion (10h) and Love (20i). Aligned alphabetically, your password ends up being 36hip.


That's it :la: Hope you guys had fun, thank you all for participating, congrats once more to DCLeadboot for winning. See you all for our next batch of newly planned games! Until then, happy raiding :salute: :heart:
