The Logomancer

Did you read the book of rules? It's towards the beginning. You can't run or step on any candles, and I think there's something about knocking on doors the correct number of times as well. There's also a book in a left alcove that explicitly tells you how to open the yellow door.

And yeah, to my knowledge there's only one quest you can't back out of if you go too far ("Haunting Memories"), and the point of no return is telegraphed with a blazing neon sign.

Haha I got past the 1st part of this quest, but now I'm kind of stuck in the 2nd part. I already know which items to find already, but...I don't understand the code...

Look closely at the first note.

Yep, it's something like a bell and some weird symbols with dots? Maybe the first symbol refers to the candle, but the rest...

That's what I don't understand. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure exactly how to visualize the symbols...?

You've been to every room, right? Look closely at the note. Where have you seen those "weird symbols with dots" before? Also pay attention to what the note says.

It wasn't the note that I didn't pay enough attention to when I got temporarily stuck there. The note is obviously important, and I scrutinized it extensively. What I didn't notice, and what I think most players are less likely to notice (I've received a PM from one player who had the same problem,) is what the note corresponds to, because that is hidden in plain sight.

Can I get some hints regarding the hats puzzle? If the cheapest one was 2, the red one 4 and the top-left hat 5, the hairband should be 7, but is the top hat 9? (I'm a bit confused as it said 'as much hats available'....) If going by that, then the equation should be 9 + 2 / 7 but it wouldn't be an integer then...

The hats puzzle is evil because the game doesn't tell you a crucial piece of information. Look under "That One Sidequest" here. Keep in mind that it just leads to a small optional thing, so don't stress out over it.

07/29/2014 12:57 PM

Welp I managed to solve it by pure chance (aka inputting random numbers haha).

The first one is 15, is anyone needs help...)

And now I'm stuck at retrieving Udumo's journal! I'm stuck at the leftwards pictures... I've found out that you can get the 'upwards' by pressing cancel 3 times then upwards, the right one by pressing right on the 2nd time then 'cancel' the rest, the down one when you press it first then cancel, but I don't know how to get the left 'symbol'. I've tried Down-Right-Up-Left, Down-right-up-cancel etc combo but still can't crack the code. I don't mind knowing the answer straight away, a bit tired of solving those puzzles xD

Oh my God I can't believe I just figured it out not long after opening the game. To think it would be so obvious lol...

You don't really need to decode the individual symbols. You've seen the note at the beginning of the mindscape cave, right? That tells you, broadly, how to convert the symbols into numbers. The test chest is to help you understand better if you can't convert the more complex symbol containing the base-5 passcode.

If you just want the answer, I believe I gave it out on the previous page, check for someone else talking about the journal puzzle.

07/29/2014 06:05 PM

So the chest has nothing inside? And thanks I'll try it again.

I've just finished the game and all the quests except that one, and some questions: 1) Is something supposed to happen after you throw some salt in the well? (got the weather totem) 2) Where is the Eye of Despair located? (I've got the Left Eye of Greed, not sure if there's others left as well)

And man, that was some ending (supposedly the 'true' one since I've got the claw...). Really wished the story was longer and showed more of Ardus, since we know so little about him still and the game was rather quest-heavy (not that I'm complaining!)

1) Yes. You need at least 4 of the quarter-pound salt items though. You're doing this in the Mindscape area, yeah?

2) Uhh... I forget which is which, but

one eye is in the water spine cavern, and one is in the Aspect of Blood area.

If you don't have the Eye of Despair you didn't get the true ending. Do you have the mask?

07/30/2014 10:02 AM

I have both eyes now and the prismatic claw, but what mask? (And how do I get it?)

Remember the Composer told you to investigate the Forgotten Plantation's basement? Do that.

Okay I actually wanted to ask this later, but I figured I should ask this now.

Regarding the quest involving the giants, I know that the last giant requires another giant to get to. But I encountered two giants with riddles whose answers are numbers. And another giant apparently gives one answer that is the number of steps, but that doesn't seem to be the answer. Am I missing something here?

07/30/2014 05:14 PM

Thanks I'll check it out.

@Ep

Some giant tells you that the secret lies in the 'crown'...so look at the place where there's the word 'crown' and press it, there should be a number. (12 iirc?)

The gameplay and story is nice, but those numeric puzzles are really annoying. I encountered two, first one was hats puzzle - not solved, second was that waterfall cavern where I looked for journal. That one was even worse and then I got fed up with it and ended playing and deleting the game. Solving absurdely hard puzzles is not something I enjoy when playing games.

The journal puzzle isn't that bad, really... It's harder than other puzzles but if you know about non-decimal counting systems it's not so difficult. That's really the only leap of logic required, I think. Once I realized how to convert the numbers everything fell into place.

The hats puzzle is evil, though, because it doesn't tell you all the required information. But it only leads to a small optional thing (it's not required for a quest).

Was it really so bad to make you delete the game? Hardcore. Is that a thing you normally do for games you're done with, or was it simply that bad?

Without... killing... Without killing, hm? It's pretty... odd to me, however I already played an RPG what didn't contain such thing like killing but... Nah. Just try to understand me and
