This topic is for discussing clues and potential answers to the puzzle4 symbol in Epic Week 2019. Please stay on topic. Remember, these riddles are designed to be challenging and require a group of people noodling together; don't feel intimidated if you don't know the answer right away. Every little idea can help. Research is not cheating; it is expected!

The first clue immediately makes me think of Fall Out Boy's Sugar We're Going Down.
Verse 1:
Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
'Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost but you're just a line in a song)

Verse 2:
Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?


Though it could also be a reference to Bon Jovi's More Than We Bargained For.

Chorus:
It's more than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away

And both of those make me think Something about just being a line in a song, because it's a line in both songs, AND the line in the FOB song.

More than we bargained for...it sounds familiar, but I can’t remember what it’s called. Maybe it has to do with the Daedric Prince of bargains, Clavicus Vile, but that seems unlikely in this context.

This riddle is marked as a "puzzle," which means that the answer will be contained within RPR!

The second clue can only be revealed to someone who has explored the labyrinth at least 15 times..

The third clue can only be revealed to someone who has gazed at Forohfor Fortress at least 15 times..


Does this mean that you have to have found 15 items at each of these 2 pages or simply checked / visited them ?

I don't think you need to have found an item every time! But it doesn't count if it says to try again later--that means the 30 minute cooldown isn't over yet.

I think you have to visit both places at least 15 times. No items to collect...I think...

"The adventure begins with more than we bargained for"

Without the other two clues unlocked, we can't proceed much on this ... however, in the most recent video, the princess and the knight were surrounded by monsters! This may refer to that.

Oh. Uh... Unlocked them, I guess. ^^

Heyyyyy nice

I can't do audio right now--do the robot critters in the video make a particular sound?

@Heimdall - They sound like 'transformers' to me, but difficult to describe. Like a low sound that keeps getting interrupted? Kind of also like a predator from the Alien vs Predator movies.

Hmmm. Interruptions--does it sounds like it's in Morse code?

Hmm, it COULD be? But I'm leaning onto the "I don't think so" side - only because for me to distinctively attempt to listen to whether the tones or 'short' or 'long' I have to slow down the video speed and even then it's difficult to tell.

Weird idea, but ignore it if someone else came up with this: Star Wars by chance?

That was my first thought too with the "droids you're looking for" comment - puzzles will be in clues on the site somewhere.

Not weird at all.

This seems to be talking about the robots that appear at the end of the "Epic Week 2019 Begins" video, specifically the noise they are making. It sounds a bit like a melody, but I don't know what the song is.

Hrrrm. It's almost as if it could be someone's voice, distorted somehow.

I've made a shortened version of the audio file that contains the robots' voices; you can grab it from here. (Hopefully! First time I've used Firefox Send. ) I've tried reversing it and playing around with the playback speed in Audacity, but so far haven't had any luck there. Perhaps it is morse or something similar, after all.

Any chance the super scarabs tie in? They appear to be robotic, and we are trying to gather them for stuff.

Oh, we should probably keep in mind the design of the robots and maybe see what they're called when they appear as enemies. I imagine something will be more similar to them than the little ball sentries.
