Posted by marmar (2 years 6 months ago)

Posted by marmar (2 years 6 months ago)
to get off st. Helena ..you look at the shapes on the trees..a hint..draw the shapes with the numbers..it helps!..then start with E because it has the full cyrcle on the bottem..then u notice that the top shape is missing a cyrcle in the middle so take the tree with a small cyrcle on the bottem..i think its a 7 ..then add it to the left of the E and keep doin that by maching the top shape to the bottem of another one and write down the numbers
Posted by marmar (2 years 6 months ago)
hope that helps!..if anyone is at the very end..Port Royal..PLEASE HELP!!!
Posted by Jane (2 years 6 months ago)
can any one help me figure out Palau Jong
Posted by marmar (2 years 6 months ago)
OMG wait..i think that was for st. Mary..as for st. Helena.. u just count up from the bottem..35 or something...then write down the number on the left..then take th number on the right and count to that step then write down the number on the left and so on...
Posted by marmar (2 years 6 months ago)

Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
hye marie... i am tryin to get past the part after the port royal, with the riddle clue of serpentkraken... the coordiantes im want is from the level that has faces on the wall and is called cozumel
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
If you have made it to island Somewhere you will be asked to enter an 8 digit code. They do not tell you if your answer is correct or not they just take your info and tell you they will email you if you are a finalist.
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
which island though? i am so confused and :(.. i dnt understand the faces on the wall...cud u please help me.. i have tried to put coordinates in but it says its wrong n sends me back
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
Hey me, on my notes I go from Cozumel to Isla Culebra to Port Royal. After you enter the code to get into port royal you will be shown map of everywhere you have been. You will then need to go back to each of the locations, most of the islands have 1 or 2 spare numbers or letters to give you the coordinates to Somewhere.
Posted by Shannon Ball (2 years 5 months ago)
how do you get onto port royal?
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
what is somewhere? is that the name of
the next place
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
Somewhere is the name of the last island. Seriously, remember the ad. Somewhere in the world:)
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
on mine it says to reach semi final to port royal u have to enter the keyword which i have and it takes me to the map thing u r saying and from that then i enter coords which takes me to cozulme place to which a need a keyword which i have entered that then takes me inside the serpent place to the wall writing... after this i am stuck... at a dead end... i need another coords
Posted by mike (2 years 5 months ago)
does anyone know the password to get onto Port Royal? I am so confussed.
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
the keyword to get on to port royal is ssssssst
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
Like I said go back through all of the islands in order and find the extra numbers. Did you find the piece of broken plate on Bermuda? There are extra numbers all over.
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
if u r after the coords its 2017n8658w
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
yeh i did... so i have to go bk to every island n get more numbers?/ how do i knw which island to go on
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
i dnt get u..i am sorry... r u saying go bk to the map n go on the island to get extra numbers for the cozulme bit... but how though...but it says the clue is in the wall so y go to the islands?
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
Bermuda has two of them madiera has some tropic of cancer has one i believe. I can't get to my notes right now. The baby is fussy and just burped on me. Classy I know but that's the joys of parenthood. I will try to find the coords in a bit:)
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
u r workin backwards from me... the place i am trying to get u have already been..
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
ok tell me where you have been and I will try to help. I assumed that you had been to port royal and entered the code to go to port royal.
Posted by me (2 years 5 months ago)
yes
i have been to port royal..entered the semi final keyword...from there i entered the coords to go to cozumel...which askes for a keyword which i have entered..which takes me inside the tomb place to the faces and pictures on the wall....after that i am stuck.
Posted by Marie (2 years 5 months ago)
Okay go back to port royal and reenter the password. You do not enter the coords for cozumel. From the map that pops up you are able to back to any island you want to that you have already visited. THe keywords are all the same. Go to Bermuda and find two numbers there. Madiera and find 2 numbers Tropic of Cancer has the direction. Then the island with the stairs has one, the island with the trees has one, the island with the two pots has one, the island where you count the items has one (tierras something) and the final direction is in the wall at cozumel. Sorry I don't have names but still only working with one hand here. I remember the plate on Bermuda has a 5 and the island with the stairs has a 7 scratched into the wall at the top of the stairs. The plate at Cancer has an N.
