Dr Bannerman's computer password

Post by Chrisax »

Quest: Dawning of an Endless Night


Location: Solomon Island (Kingsmouth, Savage Coast, Blue Mountain, ...)


You will have to find information in the computer of Dr Bannerman.
This computer uses the TSW simulated computer text interface.

When you try to get information about the people Bannermann took care of, you'll be prompted for a PW.

The system will provide you with two hints

"F- season"
"Flowers ********* **** *****"

You have 3 objects around. You can examine them.
One is a picture with 4th of July fireworks
The second is a leaf collection from Autumn (Fall)
The third is a book by the poet Robert Frost "Snow to Snow"


Path to the solution:

The first hint implies that the words start with "F" (yes it's less than clear)
The second hint gives you the first word of the PW "Flowers" and shows that the PW is made of 4 words and give you the number of characters of each of the remaining 3 word.

So you have 3 words, all starting with "F". Examine the objects, and search for words starting with "F" and with the correct number of letters.

The PW is the 4 words (so you have to include "Flowers") typed with a space between them. It is NOT cap sensitive.

People are crying to get the solution or hints. Obviously, many of them went for too complicated things, like searching Wikipedia about Robert Frost, or studying the fishing season ("F- season"... could have been that) in Maine.

Not sure this riddle, similar to the ones in adventures games ten years ago is a great idea.

This was changed in patch yesterday. Don't know if it's still the same password or if they only changed the hints though, I haven't ran that part again yet.

Correct, it was changed and I got the information that likely all enigmas will be modified before the launch.

I need to rerun it to know what it is now. Likely it's the same principle though.

It's about Antonio Vivaldi now. (The composer of the Four Seasons). Will try to know more.
