Dracula's riddle

[judyg8or]

staktdex:

should change it to a .ttf and add it to your font arsenal (control panels-->fonts...). then type something into word w/ that font.

everyone:
anyone get past the room of fears/errors level (20-something)?? i think i have the 2 room numbers, but can't figure out the syntax of how to enter them in the URL.

Can't remember the first room--but the second = error room/2...its a number...

i think i got the numbers, but how do you enter them?

"www.draculasriddle.co.uk/b*****y/m****n/###.htm"
and
"www.draculasriddle.co.uk/b*****y/m****n/room###.htm"
and
"www.draculasriddle.co.uk/b*****y/m****n/room###/room###.htm"

don't work, neither do many other variations of URL that i've tried...

Judyg8or, check your PMs....

OK--now I know which level you are talking about--my BF and I have been tag teaming this one off and on all day -- so I was a liitle confused...

unfortunatly - this is a level we accidently skipped the room parts...
because I thought the room of worst fears was a beastly number....and put it in and moved on....

ahhhhhhhhh, i'm stuck in a continuous loop!!!!!!!! how do i get out of it???...

i accidentally got to the beastly # level from the "follow the path" coordinates and then did the .rar thing and am now here -- where the beastly # is entered again? the game is bending my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't bookmark these pages--so it may be hard to help...
you can send me the link if this hint doesn't help...

ReMoVe something from the text and try it out in the URL...even if it is long

Ok I nominate myself el stupido...With respect to riddle 12 I have removed every other letter beginning with the second letter, I have removed every other letter beginning with the first one I have removed all I's, and I have removed all O's...

What is obvious to everyone else is cryptic to me. I think I actually need a shove off the cliff... any volunteers?

I do appreciate the help thus far, I will not be asking for help again because there is more fun when you solve the riddle yourself. Considering I have wasted so much time on this clue I would like to know the solution to it.

level 12 answer...

the first approach you listed was close: just don't remove the even letters in the sentence - remove the even letters in each separate WORD. (the letters aren't *immediately* readable, just type them in as they are -- for now)

[Mazero]

Gah, I still can't find a way to crack level 12 with your help. It just turns out gibberish to me...

What do you mean with "even letters"? Sorry if I'm being frustrating to you.

EDIT: Is it the words in the picture or the ones under it?

hi out there in real world. i was wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom for level 9....i am stuck in sadam woods. i have checked the sc to no avail. so, anyone who has passed this point please...have a heart.

what if you do not have a silk bag?

more on level 12...

keep the "odd" letters (the 1st, 3rd, 5th...) of each word, get rid of the "even" letters. you'll get a string that starts EIMSC...

what if you do not have a silk bag?

so you got passed lvl 9? (if not, there are hints on it earlier in this thread, may even the whole answer)

the silk bag should've been DL'd during an early level. you could use it to get past #10, or try to guess the answer.

Thanks for the help DraculasSpiddle... I guess I am just dense. I have gotten to the page where it says to Transpose the matrix and read it row by row...

I have transposed the XOXOXOXOXOX into OXOXOXOXOXO and got-

isneltss...did not work

I transposed a bunch of other combinations and I just do not get it. What is the matrix I am suppose to transpose?

Now I'm stuck on level 16, any clue to what to do with the coordinates?
EDIT: Nevermind, got past it.

[Staktdex]

Thank you Mazero...

I think I am too stupid to continue, good luck!!

[judyg8or]

Now on 31...and stuck! (Dark Hallway, I know the shape)
It got to be simple, maybe i?m thinking too deep meanings for it.
Can anyone give a clue?

I am stuck there too--
started typing in anything that came to mind--and accidentlally went to 34!!!
But I don't want to skip levels--
can you offer a hint as to what he is calling the symbol??
