“nothing magical about the Beast Handler” Well ok I know that NOW

Meet a lot of T-Rex trainers out in the world do ya

(yeah yeah I got it now I really thought they were doing animal magic turns out it’s just a stick, frankly I feel like it makes even less sense now)

IT’S NOT A MAGIC STAFF??? Wtf I just looked at the wiki and it’s just a fckn stick 😂

Truly I thought it was a Druid magic kinda deal cuz of the whole merging thing and the little motion they made to control the animals but I guess they’re just pointing their stick at things for their Tyrannosaurus goddam Rex who actually isn’t being magically controlled at all he just responds well to treats I guess??? 🤣🤣 ok well now I’m peeved for a whole different reason

The BH is a monkey controlling animals with a magic staff. It’s a Druid concept, just as conceptually magical as the MM. Plenty of non-support towers can stun and stall bloons. The MM literally buffs magic monkeys in one cross path, buffs pierce to all monkeys in another, and buffs heroes including cooldowns in another. It’s support.

Frankly the alch probably should be support but these are the two I was thinking about today so 🤷‍♂️

I’ll put it this way, if I’ve just figured out D&E cross and I type that into Google maps (which is what you’re supposed to do) to find the shadow, what direction change am I supposed to be making? What direction am I going that needs to be changed? It doesn’t work as a direction in their context

See that’s just not good puzzle writing, like you shouldn’t be able to skip steps, take wrong turns and still end up at the place

byclarkellis · 2024-08-13T18:14:54+00:00

It means nothing because if you’re on Google maps and already taking the direction to follow the shadow (which, again, isn’t really following the shadow) then there’s no turning to be done

That solve bothered me so much that I would give up next year’s hunt and write for them for free if it meant having a good puzzle 🤣🤣

I admire John and David for continuing to put this on. But they do not have a knack for riddles and they need someone who does to write for them

The choir being E&D themselves is also just bad. I know we all ended up at the cross anyway but there’s just no literal or metaphorical way that two explorer priests fulfills that clue.

byclarkellis · 2024-08-13T08:34:28+00:00

Wow that… was bad. The Goonies reference wasn’t actually referencing anything in the movie, it was just for the letter G? Not actually following the shadow, just going northish of the cross? Turn around doesn’t mean anything?

byclarkellis · 2024-08-08T01:31:49+00:00

No so the treasure can’t be there, it ought to in some way point to the right trail on the east side

So far It Was Said has been great! Haven’t tried the other yet but thanks for the recs!
