The Ramisis key also fits the non-virtual pyramids, so there are $500 prizes for being the first to solve a pyramid/sphinx.

Having both puzzles registered also allows you to try for the Platinum Pyramid which is worth $10,000, but it's a difficult 3 level riddle which has been running for several years and nobody has made it past the first level yet!

I just recieved my black and gold G2 but there are no 1 or 0's that people talk about. Am I looking in the wrong place?

The 0's and 1's were only on the G1 version.

Suggest you use a perminent marker pen to give yourself a reference mark for each layer.

How do I know what is the 1 and what is the 0. I'm sure it says this is the instruction booklet but the website keeps giving me 404 errors when I try to register it.

For some reason I can't even get started on the clues. Can I have a hint at what this means "The encryption method is named after LPB". Or another hint?

It took me a few goes, but you'll eventually see that it's a simple substitution cypher, just like the Isis clues, but using numbers instead of letters.

Look carefully at the groups of numbers and see if you can spot a pattern or some sort of commonality.

Then apply frequency analysis decryption techniques to what you've found.

Ok. So basically I need to find spaces?
Cause for awhile I thought the * were spaces but that would be weird. Also is each clue cipher different or the same?

It's been a while since I looked at it, but I think it's like the Isis clues, each clue has a different substitution cypher.

As for finding spaces - No you don't need to, the stars are spaces.

But I can't say anything more without giving the game away, so look closely at the clues and what I said in my previous post!

Thank you. It was the spaces I was worried. I thought I would have to find them.

The Ramisis key, although physically identical to the Isis key (aside from having its corners trimmed to fit the drawer), only grants you access to the Sphinx map, and not the Isis pyramid map or riddles.

from the Ramisis instructions in the adventure website:

Although a physical key is associated with each puzzle in the Isis series, awards for the Ramisis are only valid from the virtual Ramisis sphinx map. Any attempt to claim a gold coin from any sphinx found on the Isis I sphinx map will be null and void.


I'll presume the last sentance to be an error from an overzealous search/replace, and should read

Any attempt to claim a gold coin from any pyramid found on the Isis I pyramid map will be null and void.

Thanks for the clarification.

I couldn't register my Isis as I bought it second hand, it was only after I bought a new Ramisis that I was able to register this and my Isis at the same time - hence my confusion between Pyramids and Sphinx - as they all became available to me in one go.
