Hint 1: If you’re stuck on the “Adventure of the Dancing Men” cipher, look to Sherlock Holmes for the key and you should be able to correctly decipher.

The next part of the puzzle uses Rail Fence. Decrypt that successfully and knowing where to go next will be common sense.

Hint 2: The key to the Queen’s Letter is in the Passage.pdf in burgundy, this hint should alleviate any uncertainty.

If you are stuck on the audio, make sure you decrypt the description section. It would also be prudent to use some audile reflection.


Below lies puzzle 3 – Who will claim this victory?
Good luck on Meditullium, and be ready to decipher whatever may come.
