The Isis Adventure

well hello folks!

i've just begun my isis journey! so hopefully will aim for the riches once i get the blasted thing open! after family gave in and purchased me one for christmas.

Clues, Decyphered and they are indeed a large help. My current problem is........working out how many darn ball bearings are currently in there!!!! myself and family have all played and jiggled too much, and i never even thought to listen to the thing first!

has anyone got any small tips or hints on how to listen precisely how many ball bearings are in it? as i say...it could be 3 it could be 2..........its all a mystery at the moment!

You'll know when you're at the right stage and making progress. Keep following the clues literally and you'll have it open in no time. Read through the posts here on the forum, they're a big help.

Good luck!

well i've just confirmed theres definetley 2 in there.......mods may remove this if it is breaking anything for anyone

.........then slowly tipped it sideways VERY slowly like....milimeters a turn......

well after 2 hours of pain on the fingers....i thought it time to ask the question.

Is there a secret behind getting the 3rd ball bearing to drop? i mean...is there something in the hyroglyphics? do they have to spell something out? or is it just a random assult of turning furiously ?

There is a way to find out, in what kind of place 3bb could be..... -guess you have translated ALL there is to translate?

Best of luck....you will get there...

HA

I guess you only have 10 clues.....

HA

damn you HA damn you and your riddles !

i've got the 11th clue if this is what your refering to......after searching this very forum.....as for translating stuff? i pressume you mean the box art? which once again has lead me no where unless i've translated 2 words wrong......one being ANTS the other being MAGNST.......

Hmm I've heard of a typo or something in the us version, -not quite sure...
Write KarenG and ask...-She will know what to say and what not...

-please don't damn me -you will love it when you get there
HA

I'm in the US and didn't find any typos. It's all how you "think" about the clues. Good luck!

Thanks.. was not sure and I remember that some of the glyps have more than one meaning...

HA

Of course they do. They're glyphs! I suppose if you consider the glyphs clues, there could be 'typos', but if done right, everything works out fine. Keep trying at it and you'll get there!

Well it seems i'm still on the darn 1st stage still!

no 3rd ball bearing as of yet. from the clue it is pretty clear that the 3rd BB is at the top of the isis and it will work its way down. but then we come to the question.......does this mean the rings have to be put into a certain position? and is there anything that indicates this ANYWHERE?! clues are always welcome on that

and my other question is.....the single isis's on the golden rings.....do they mean anything? or are they purely there as markers for where you have to put the other glyphs into sequence? reason i ask is purely because i have several glyphs on the top ring that won't line up atall with it.....there will be one click and it'll be slightly the the left of it and another click brings it slightly to the right.......

but my main question is...is there a sequence to it all? or is it purely fiddle fiddle and more fiddling

Read the clues again, go through the posts in the forum, yes there is a lot. I know this has been said before (I've said it myself) ALL the information you need is there, honest

Driver speaks (so to type) the truth. I didn't believe it until I did it, but the answer really lies in the clues themselves. Persevere!

Hi Kaoscontrol,

Never fear, persevere! I just opened my Isis, and I hope this post gives you some encouragement that you can get there.

Two things that helped me a lot.

1) Memorize the clues so they stick with you when you need it most.

2) "Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip!" Do lots of forum archeology.

Best of Luck!
