yeah after completing dungeon with the owl pet take a light to the room across from entrance and there is a small warden statue that kinda looks like ur pet but thats where the trail goes cold

#

we havent been able to make the rare eye puzzle one pop up

#

or atleast i havent

maiden beacon
#

Oh wait the owl statue doesn’t always spawn after killing glazer?

wanton jungle
#

Oh, are we talking about the owl statue that disappears after killing the imp mother in the dungeon?

#

It flasehd with electricity, then despawned, and respawned.

#

I have my fledgling owl out with its little orb after doing the statues on the island.

ivory jewel
#

it appears, but sometimes there is a special puzzle after killing the eye boss. this special puzzle only triggers very rarely, its all in the google doc. but now there is a new owl with the same four colours from the statues outside the dungeon around it.

wanton jungle
#

And we've noted that when you throw down the light of Elune, the owl in the colorful orb room disapears?

ivory jewel
#

well its still there, you just cant see it because you do not have light of elune in your posession

wanton jungle
#

Ah true, true. Brain no work.

ivory jewel
#

its like that ghost warden that is part of the achievement. its always there, but we need light of elune to do the achievement

wanton jungle
#

And I see people in chat history trying out the Syxehnz rod, too. I will move on! lol

#

Oh, but have we noted that the owls outside the dungeon entrance glow the same as the orbs we activated?

#

Or is that just an indicator we did the thing, just like the pet?

ivory jewel
#

@wanton jungle they didnt before the anniversary patch, but they did glow before we found the karacombs and took the battle pet to the isle outside the instance

#

maybe an indication for us to check inside the instance - letting us know something changed that only people in the know would notice

#

Morning good people, goodluck today! hands out coffee and tea

#

is this not the warning signs on the isle of the watchers? 1 tank 3 healers and 8 dps?

#

it is a seperate instance... maybe a raid instance... didnt the hivemind require a 5 man?

where do I find these warning signs representing tanks, healers and dps?

would also be good to bounce theroies off each other haha

aww man, thought they would do something but no.. missing 1 color

#

Have there always been wandering spirits in the library in BRH?

#

They fade in and out

#

Was there something about a unopenable chest in Vault of the wardens?

#

That's weird, i am not allowed Dreamwalk on my druid while in the catacombs

#

Just checked after hotfix - no changes so far to Vault

ivory jewel
#

@low stone it spawns after you solve the puzzle after defeating the eye boss

#

Ugh, I hate this, this may actually make me bow out 😦Holy scooby snacks, I did it!

tardy pond
#

What? Did what? 👀

ivory jewel
#

did they change the warden owls on the island? I thought only 4 were active at once, and you couldnt click the rest? now I can click all of them(they still have a cooldown after giving the buff).

broken citrus

#

No matter how many times I go across the statues, I never get more than three orbs on the 7 O' Clock pillar

#

I've interacted with red, blue, purple, and green

mental creek
bronze tusk
#

There's one in the instance? No, I haven't

#

What I read said "four of them are active, click them with pet out til you see a magnifying glass"

#

So I did that

#

Is it a problem if my owl despawns between statues?

mental creek
#

No, as long as you resummon it and it does it's little animation. Does your owl have the light obove it's head?

bronze tusk
#

No, it does not. Though I think I saw it with that light at one point?

#

Do I need to do anything besides click the statue?

mental creek
#

Then you must be missing one of the colors, you might have to go through multiple before getting one of each color. Maybe so them again, make sure to keep an eye out for the animation and magnifying glass and write down which colors/buff you definitely got to make sure? I know red can take a minute too

#

You HAVE to wait for the bird to decide to interact

tulip plaza
#

i got it to work, had to just keep flying between them clicking each a bunch of times.

mental creek
#

I used the extra action buttons on my bird while it was next to the statue just to make sure it had been hit by the mechanic haha

bronze tusk
mental creek
#

Judging by the other pedestals getting a big orb I don't think we're done here

#

Even just for the bike

young rose
#

Is there stuff from there you can use here? Was it ever doable before timegate

#

Magnifying glass still being shown on spinning owls outside is just feeling really sus. Combo lock was a thought not many others tried last week, maybe its a sequence of spins, or order of colours, or something to finish that off and no longer see glass. Something as in “4 owlpet spins in purple, 3 in blue, 2 green, 1 red thing, before trying statue”. You can stand in the owls buff mist and have pet spin several times when active before leaving, getting eyeglass notification each time. if you ever see hints to colour seqs and nums ? But but i dont have it in me to drop in to this now its all that fetch quest stuff to catch up on 🤣

#

After empowering it with orb the mechanic doesnt stop there necessarily; the magnifying glass still shows if you collect more of the four colours outside, and the pet still spins.

clear hazel
#

hi guys, anything yet?

young rose
#

Is anyone looking?

golden fractal
#

The owl pet loses it's empowerment if you log out?

young rose
#

No its flagged to char once you have it spin in 4 colours

golden fractal
#

I had it the other day, gone now

young rose
#

Oh cool

#

We didnt see that at all last week

golden fractal
#

I went into VoTW, done the orb and found the new room with the colours, but today, nothing

young rose
#

Did you see the hidden statue? In votw by the colours? Are you sure it had the empowerment visible above its head?

golden fractal
#

Yes and yes, seen the orb on my pet, seen the room with the colours, seen the statue that does nothing

young rose
#

Oh cool that hasnt happened in this chat before at least

#

Same character?

golden fractal
#

Yeh

young rose
#

Do you have the orbs in felcycle brazier?

#

Its unsolved so maybe there is a way to reset and do another way idk

golden fractal
#

Yeh no orbs near the cycle

young rose
#

Weird

broken citrus
#

where is the room with the colours

young rose
#

I havent logged in sine eu reset but us guys still had empowerment

golden fractal
#

Same character too, might have to empower the owl again

young rose
# broken citrus where is the room with the colours

It opens when you kill first boss, in the room behind him on your left as you enter that first boss room. It has floating colours with pet owl out. If you go in again with an empowered owl and elune orb from the dungeon basement after killing the last boss, theres a hidden statue that appears there that we havent been able to figure out; werent sure it was anything felcycle related til yesterday but it seems figuring this out is needed there

broken citrus
#

gotcha i see it now

winged spade
young rose
#

I think “the hunt” was a clue tbh

#

The quest thats flagged, josh mentioned leveraging tools he knows people use

#

And he said hed reveal when the hunt is solved. Thats the name of the quest thats flagged when we empowl

#

Or hes leveraging it to fuck with us

golden fractal
winged spade
#

ok, logging in to check mine

young rose
#

Wish id taken today off 🤣🤣

winged spade
#

mine still has the orb

golden fractal
#

Yeh I don't know what's going on with my owl

#

I'll just wait until we solve that one, the owls have always confused me

winged spade
#

check your felcycle and see if the orbs are still there. each orb on that pedestal is tied to the 4 buffs.

young rose
#

Anyone got more than 4 there yet?

winged spade
#

well, hopefully Raven has and they've done something to progress

young rose
#

Ahh he confirmed theyre gone before

broken citrus
#

the other secrets in the felcycle room seem unrelated to the owls

winged spade
#

yes, but we are only looking at the one that does atm

young rose
#

Yeah, but theres probably something to get a big orb on that pedestal. Hoping josh will at least confirm whether magnifying glass should stop showing if you repeat a step thats done with

Also this might be delusional but do you remember yesterday i mentioned seeing some text to the effect of “dont worry old secrets are still there”? i couldnt track down where i read it and thought it was a blue post somewhere; but i realised i think i read it from an anniversary NPC in game. Going to look for the text tonight.. Im a bit scared of becoming obsessed once this new thing is over. Do you still think there was a puzzle here in 7.0?

#

So I'm reading the docs, the 1st has 70 or more page but at the start it dosent' explain what to do or what it the objective or I'm blind

#

it expains the buff location and more, but not what to get, in which order, in how many time :S

Soo the first pin says everything new that’s been found out about felcycle, its unsolved atm because only 4 orbs appear there. Just need to run around activating owls until you get one that does a buff field. Stand near it til your fledgling owl spins and does the eyeglass thing. Keep going until its done its spin and glass near four different coloured buff owls. The doc has a lot of great research over the years since legion into the island and vault and owls cus theyre sussy af and could be useful for the rest of the solution

dense wolf

#

@dense wolf that 70 page doc is 5 years of information regarding the owl puzzle. The wardens and owl secret is not solved

#

But empowering the owl is a step required for it

dense wolf
#

yeah, maybe add it on the top that is not a proper guide solving guide (atm) 😄 I read 20 pages and I was , wtf is ongoin on here, hehe

@dense wolf guide for it is on the fel mount channel

iirc, they are not interactable

#

only hoverable

past leaf
#

I think there’s more than one puzzle connected to it

young rose
# arctic ruin only hoverable

Oh sick just saw screenshots, looks like vol 18 is missing it goes 1-9, 10-17. 19-26. Does it look like the unlock is down there to you?

arctic ruin
#

ah, then im not up to date probs

#

i was only seen them being hoverable

fossil shuttle
#

Owl puzzle is not solved yet, it looks like because there is no orb over it pylon and from the looks of other things, or looks like that chest will contain a key.

#

When we bring the orb up or touch an orb in cordonas room we get no magnifying glass over our heads, which seems like it's the trigger for advancement in the catacombs. We're missing the middle step.

What was the all seeing eye pet used for anyone know?

winged spade
#

and atm the only connection the owls have to the felcycle is that the felcycle needs us to empower the owl

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

The eye looks like it's connected to another step for another pylon, but chat is moving to fast to figure it out rn

young rose
#

Unless i get confirmation from josh im just going to try working out a combination for the owls outside tbh. Its still active because you get the eyeglass still even with empowered owl. Unless thats an oversight its the only interaction we have with feedback

fossil shuttle
#

We know there is more inside because of the cordonas orb trigger

young rose
#

Yeah

raven shale
#

the owl orbs are incomplete right

#

based on the other pedestals which either have much more small orbs or a big one

young rose
#

No feedback on the hidden statue though but good for everyone to scan the dungeon a couple times, theres loads to find

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

I wish I knew if he created this or if this was unsolved because it makes a huge difference. If he used our doc to make this secret then the only big thing missing rn is the cell door interaction and the statue that's unused in the spider cave

#

If this was unsolved and created by muffinuis there is no telling what to do🤣

young rose
#

I think thats what he did tbh 🤣 used your research to make a puzzle. been trying to link the finds together across the dungeon to find colour code for the owls outside, if he did go off what was found then potentially the solve would use the collected knowledge but use in a different direction to the theories maybe?

fossil shuttle
#

Then opening that cell door matters. They added another door ontop of the original door that was there

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

Newish over the years. You used to be able to get behind it and get trapped inside but you can't anymore

#

We all did the last time we were testing a year ago

young rose
#

Tbh i think im the only one who thinks it but i cant shake those cells just being a key to use elsewhere, i dont think the cell will open

fossil shuttle
#

You could also use toys to peek behind it and you can't any more

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

Nice it tried last week and couldn't get it

young rose
#

I cat formed up a little thing at the front and was half way through the front door

vagrant ember
#

i assume you've run the dungeon with the goggles?

fossil shuttle
#

@vagrant ember what googles?

vagrant ember
young rose
# fossil shuttle Our biggest theory was it related to the other cell doors and the dungeons/ raid...

Ahh yeah that would make sense, i saw a half pattern with the colour of the other enemies the boss spawns. But when i worked out in excel that theyre not equations theyre just a circular anticlockwise number system it feels like a key. Might have been a bit sloppy on it looking at the other map though, but the main blocks we have numbers for directions pointing to coloured boss rooms or maybe it overlays somewhere on the isle or idk

fossil shuttle
#

I@vagrant ember i have not, what are those from??

vagrant ember
#

so far they've only shown things in kara

fossil shuttle
#

How do you get them? I'm going to run all the dungeon/ raids today associated with the mobs from the vault again since everything is unlocked

vagrant ember
#

should be in the fel pins

fossil shuttle
#

Ok I'll look again and see if I can find them. It's hard to follow since I just got up, so I'm waiting for yall to have time to clean everything up

#

Thanks for mentioning them I'll get them before I run anything

How many orbs are there total before a puzzle is finished in felcycle room? Is it 9 then big orb?

#

@vagrant ember which one? The one that spawns after you kill glazer

vagrant ember
#

yea

#

making a bad joke lol

fossil shuttle
#

Oh sorry, my brain went literal and I was going to write it out 🤣

green crest
fossil shuttle
#

I'm dumb I still don't see the pin about the goggles, maybe because I'm on my phone

vagrant ember
#

damn, still nothing new

fossil shuttle
#

Ya know it looks like each pedestal spawns a different number of mini orbs around them. An orb spawns when that step is complete. I wonder if we will have use that to input a code to get the bike

young rose
#

Some of the solutions in felcycle are zone and item codes

fossil shuttle
#

Each mini orb around each pedestal is the number in the code

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

@young rose that's so dangerous, haha the amount of stuff we do with toys and such too find out information

winged spade
young rose
fossil shuttle
#

So are you saying you think that quest Id is a hint rather than a troll?

young rose
#

I was 50/50 before because he asked us not to datamine, but with that recent comment and if thunderfury id was gotten through mining

#

Or its a troll 🤣

fossil shuttle
#

I hope it's a troll

young rose
#

Sorry i dint want to misinform though so will need to check where these came from, felcycle chat is impossible to follow.

#

I like the idea of embracing the mining cus its inevitable lol

coarse knot
#

completed the wardens dungeon and went back to the room with the colored orbs rotating around the small owl, while wearing the goggles, nothing new

winged spade
young rose
fossil shuttle
#

@young rose some of it is but ppl take it to far. What's the point of having a puzzle of your not going to try and figure it out the way it intended.

winged spade
split kraken
#

There's also the question of the location of the owl orb pedestal. Considering that the first couple of pedestals needed to be done in order, it's possible we can't continue the owl portion until we've got some more pedestals completed.

young rose
winged spade
fossil shuttle
#

@split kraken is this true? Was stuff needed from pedestal one secret to finish another one?

#

Good to see you again man, btw hope all is well

split kraken
#

I saw a comment in the felcycle chat that you had to do 1 before you could do 2. And you need the key from 2 to open the doors to start 3.

fossil shuttle
#

That's good to know

winged spade
#

they are saying in voice chat that order does not matter

young rose
split kraken
winged spade
#

yes, you need to finish orb 2 to get the goggles to start orb 3

fossil shuttle
#

Thank you, Good to know.

coarse knot
#

i wonder if the 2 owl statues in the catacombs give 2 more buffs when unlocked to fill out the space of colored orbs spinning around the small owl inside VoW

#

and they can't be unlocked before previous steps are completed

young rose
#

Would be painful if true but make sense

fossil shuttle
#

They could but that spacing of the orbs in votw is appared different to different people

#

And the 4 orbs evenly spaced around the pylon makes me think that that's it for that part

coarse knot
#

also valid

young rose
#

Im guessing someone who would have gotten spins at all 9 owls has already been down

fossil shuttle
#

You mean got buffs from every owl on the island?

young rose
#

Yeah you still get mag glass if you keep going - havent been to felcycle room yet to rule anything out but someone will have

fossil shuttle
#

@tardy pollen group may have tried that, but i have not seen anyone confirm that they did

young rose
#

Ill go down later ive collected them all a lot, but everyone in their group did too so if theyve been its not that anyways

fossil shuttle
#

If it's not the cell door were opening that stops the spy glass, then we have to finish training that little owl maybe

young rose
#

Yeah maybes

#

I was wondering too, we all tried hooting and spinning with our oittle dude. But what if we had it all wrong? What if its a twit or a twoo

fossil shuttle
#

There is that stormcrow owl npc that gets emoted at and does the circle motions that could be related. This looks like this puzzle is the best of wow secrets addition lol

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

@young rose yes, i watched it for a full hour, if that's related we would need to emote at it in a specific order like we did at uuna to unlock her

#

Which is plausible to me

#

Ohhh did anyone pull out unna in the catacombs?

heady girder
#

i ran around with uuna at the start and /hugged her but didnt notice anything off

young rose
#

#thanks-josh message

fossil shuttle
#

Probably 🤣🤣🤣

winged spade
fossil shuttle
#

I love this dude

#

Yeah that would or in a specific order like was suggested before

young rose
#

I think it has to be a specific code if its “probably” not finished

#

Its so easy to collect a number of spins per colour

fossil shuttle
#

I think he is trying his hardest to help without giving away hints

young rose
#

But v hard to brute force

young rose
fossil shuttle
#

I'm just beyond thrilled we have a dev working with us instead of. .. GM's telling us idk, i can't say anything

#

That was the best part about SOD tbh was the devs direct contact with the community

young rose
#

It’s cool that theres a little bit for everyone it seems too

split kraken
#

I's nice to know that someone who knows how it should behave is keeping an eye on things to make sure that the results that people are getting are the intended results.
Even if they were to offer 0 feedback.

young rose
wanton jungle
#

Have we tried visiting other Warden-related places, like the barrows/prison in Hyjal (vague memory) and the ones in Felwood?

raven shale
#

as of now everything points to the warden being a much later step

#

all the pedestals forming a big orb = solved were in order

winged spade
raven shale
#

the pedestals are a clock also referenced by the rare "tock"

young rose
#

Ah

raven shale
#

and if you actually try to solve it without the owl knowledge

#

1 o clock is the one solvable with "normal" knowledge and order forming a big orb

#

then 2 o clock recquires 1 o clock to be finished

#

and now 3 o clock is unlocked

young rose
raven shale
#

basically a brute force protection as well

#

and perhaps we get sth for the owls later on

obsidian carbon
#

I’ve noticed that whilst yes we are deciding the names of these pillars/braziers around the bike, their names all seem to fit into 4 letters. Love, Pray, Hate, Ward? (The owl), or at least between 4-6 letters (Nature, Click, etc)

split kraken
#

I don't know that those names are official, so could just be a player having fun.

obsidian carbon
#

True, true. Just interesting 1 and 3 are opposites

young rose
#

Ahh the link id and thunderfury id had different solves, so questid that was found probs doesnt matter

nova ice
#

did this lead to anything?

young rose

#

someone will come solve it when the other clock arms are done xD

#

probably end up needing something from the cave

Exactly what I was talking about earlier 😄
Nice to know when it's not us!
#felcycle message

drowsy furnace
#

if the owl flies in a circle, you're done with that color of buff. Keep flying around clicking statues to get the other colors

#

it takes a while and it seems a little buggy, but eventually you'll get all 4 and the light will appear over the owls head

Yea man... that guy blinks in Morse code 🤣 i swear
No, but that's not a bad theory. I mean we have alot of ground to cover here so essentially we /dance at everything with our bags full of pebbles and griftah toys!
It's like remember when we started, at the very beginning? And we were testing EVERYTHING like books and NPCs and leaves in trees.
Well... yea were there again x48 🤣

Did you guys ever try localising your hoots to different languages?

# nova ice did this lead to anything?

whilst it does give 4 lil orbs to one of the things in the felcycle room, there's a chance that we have only solved the beginning of that, and that there might be more to it

deft viper
#

i think there is, the status in the crypt both say locked

arctic ruin
#

We need step 6 done

#

so we can find out about step 7 for the owls

#

The statue is probably locked due to step 6 being not done

winged spade
#

I still think the buffs need to be in a specific order since more players are saying they are having issues and it took me 7 buffs before I got it.

arctic ruin
#

nah

#

we had people do that

young rose
#

I think people are just struggling with waiting for the spin but maybe 🤷‍♂️ first time i got it in 5 owls, 4 colours but couldve been lucky

winged spade
#

I let it spin and proc the spyglass everytime and it still took 7 buffs

young rose
#

Interesting

#

Might take an alt there then and mess around a bit

winged spade
#

it's also possible that it has to be from 4 different owls, but my first 4 buffs were different colors and from different owls, so probably not that

young rose
#

They are a bit streaky i kept noticing they seemed to repeat a couple of patterns, and couple of four different colours in a row in the same sequence (theres a red green sandwich thing i had a few times), but im too stupid to use a pen and couldnt remember the colours i said out loud fully 🤣.

If there is a natural sequence that occurs when you hit the owls yourself, i could see peoples sequences being interrupted by arriving at an owl someone else activated, but that would be mad with 30k people doing it.

Was going to go later and work it through properly - i know its probably already been studied to death but sometimes you can pick something new if you come in from a new angle. but will wait for felcycle 6.

#

Either way for this step spamming owls works 🤣

drowsy furnace
#

I'm wondering if it has to be from the same "set"

#

like you know how 4 of the 9 are active at a time and then move?

#

I'm wondering if you have to hit those 4 before it shuffles them

#

so if you do 3 and then they move, it resets your progress

young rose
#

Loll i forgot to do anything but owls all week and have no weekly rewards 🤣

tardy pollen
young rose
#

Beat grinding myths for sure

ivory jewel
#

I think they changed the owls outside on the isle. earlier today when I went there to "upgrade" my battle pet owl, they were all clickable. usually its only 4 at a time, right? not all of them gave buffs; most of them were on cooldown so I couldnt get the buffs right away. so Im guessing whatever muffinus had in mind with these, wont be affected by this change?

green crest
ivory jewel
#

oh alright. thought only 4 would have an interaction key at once and the others had nothing when holding your cursor over them. I misunderstood how they work, so no change then 😛

timid flax
#

havent followed the chat here, goggles tried in dungeon?

#

if you do the 4 thing does this mean it's finished, i tough the torch needed to be fully light to be activated, but only 4 orbs are floating around it

nah all you need are detective title (fastest way is probably to just do the 11 crates for the 2x achievements) and then need to have the torch/hat/statue. I did all 3 chapters and you don't even get an achievement for that because chapter 4 wasn't out yet

arctic ruin
#

the 11 crates would be completeable tommorow

#

ah is it? idk I just did everything since I was bored after raid whoops

#

anyone else having some problems with the owl statues? I got green, red and purple multiple times but when I activate a blue one it doesn't do anything

#

the little magnifying glass doesn't pop up on that one for some reason

tardy pollen
#

There is an absolutely excellent guide for it here to save you some time. Quick, no nonsense, and straight to the point

tardy pollen

#

didn't do anything :9

😦

#

managed to pop a red one again meanwhile though

#

its known

winged spade
eternal parrot
#

yeah that ended up working

#

just stand practically ontop of it and spamclick to get rid of the buff it gives you

river maple
#

So basically it's all but confirmed theres more to the owl secret so we get a big orb on the thing?

dreamy yew
#

yup

obsidian carbon
#

I imagine we'll be able to do the reset either once we reach that part of the circle after completing the 'steps' before, or we can do it now but haven't figuredit out yet

river maple
#

Do the watchers use a specific mount?

#

I know some have used various cats in the past but do the wardens maybe use a specific one?

pearl sandal
#

anyone chuck the light at the baby statue with the four revolving colours and had the statue disappear but reappear when you pick the light back up? should i leave the light on it?

solid junco
#

anyone know what colors we are doing? I thought I had all 4 but when I went back to check the orbs, only had 2/4

past leaf
river maple
#

So, what do we think? next step in this gets us the overall solution or more tiny orbs?

#

guess im off to run vault again with these goggles.

#

Ok, ve run this palce countless times now, seen the little animation that palys at the first boss room. The owl in the first animation has moved.

#

instead of being near the edge its in a little bit more and offcenter.

young rose
#

I think its just a bit like that, i have a ss of it facing away behind marin and another infront

#

ah these two the only ones i cba to find - i dont think its a fixed position it seems to jitter around like pets do, idk though

arctic ruin
#

Shall we move the chat to #1308884230985617418 ? It will most likely end there :)

past leaf
#

We need to figure out how to activate the statues in Karazhan and how to unlock the room with books about Watchers

Please keep discussion in this channel related to the old secret. If you wish to discuss the Felcycle related secret, head on over to #1308884230985617418 !

young rose
#

Soo do you guys still think theres something there from earlier?

arctic ruin
#

Probably not

#

It has been most likely reworked for this

young rose
#

But those owls are up to something 😭 i can see why people got drawn in

young rose
#

there was definitely at least that hidden hardmode puzzle years ago? but maybe that was it? I still feel like theres something unsolved there

river maple
#

Josh reacted to both my statements about looking closer at what the abilities from the statues did or are for as well as my comment about multiple difficulties of the instance and their discrepancies.

#

Surprise cat typing (got deleted)

#

The phasing thing with the obelisk got me thinking that perhaps a person, or people, interacting in a specific way can trigger the advanced puzzle for a day.

young rose
#

yeah that sounds good

arctic ruin
#

what phasing thing?

river maple
#

The obelisk in vale

#

There's a note on the floor next to one of the watcher books that says "why seagulls circle"

#

There are seagulls near this

#

Is there a toy that mimics the orb's effect?

river maple
#

To the right side right next to one of the watcher volumes.

river maple
#

Ah, nvm. this is in bfa content.

#

yea, just looked it up

#

probably for something once we open that door but not for this.

young rose
#

Sorry for asking here, couldnt find anywhere thats not felcycly but i figured you guys would know - are any of the solved hidden stuff from previous expansions able to be solved solo given enough time without spoilers? Its hard to know if theres anything to approach without waisting time trying it or spoiling it by reading a guide?

#

Has anyone tried using the pet mirror on their owl with the little buff icon, THEN clicking on the mini statue?

river maple
#

I've personally tried turning myself into the owl, nothing. Turning the owl into me, also nothing.

#

Tahts where my thought process immediately went to. the player would normally click the statue, but this one is small, perhaps the pet needs to click it as the player. but no go

arctic ruin
river maple
arctic ruin
#

which one?

river maple
#

The toy to turn your pet into you is called "Narcissa's mirror" and the one to turn you into the pet is "Magic pet mirror"

#

both, mirrors, which is also sus

#

Given the mirror owl statues

#

both big and this small one

#

I'm still thinking there is some correlation between the difficulties and the "achievement" buff that can be gotten on heroic will play a part.

#

I'm also not entirely sure we are done outside. The two owl statues in the Ratts scenario kinda point me to that there might be two more statues.

#

And two more orbs would complete the circle of orbs in the tiny statue room.

#

Also, theres the elune lantern toy which just popped into my mind yesterday

#

Also, we have trained the owl. maybe we have to train ourselves?

grand pewter
#

Has anyone additionally worn the Trading post "warden" set in there?

river maple
#

While it could be related to the felcycle I would highly doubt such a time sensitive thing would be required.

tardy pollen
#

No matter what ends up being the result of the island... I can honestly say, we found something.
Sifting through sand until hands became dry. Staring into darkness only to see infinite. Refusing to let the fire die.
Wings beating though an endless void.
That was us. That is us. We questioned the questions and refused to let go of the hunt.
The legend never dies 😁

Well I say "The hunt is nothing without all of you"
You people are awesome and appreciated 🎃

sorry probably being stupid but why am i seeing these second symbols when i hover on stuff now?

not sure, ive moved away - i havent seen anything like it until I hit the felcycle room earlier so it suprised me

#

ill check my settings out must have changed something

split kraken
young rose

could you check it happens to you if you head back at some point? ive had interact key on before

anything special suppose to happen after i click this one at the end of VotW step?

#

Im assuming its known that throwing the light of elune down removes the owl?

violet ember
#

havent been around here for almost a week, it seems like the buffed owl is tied to the felcycle, right?

river maple
river maple
#

What about it specifically is due to the cycle, we will have to be told after the fact.

flat adder
#

problem is seems we are hardstuck on solving this one, it almost feels like we need to use/equip something to 'remove' each light, or have something of each light and isn't just a hint to buff the owl... who knows lol

river maple
#

The floating orbs look so awkward. and there are two more owls

#

in the catacombs

young edge
#

there is only 1 light of elune you can take up stairs?

river maple
#

Solo, yes. with a partner you can take 2, with a warlock you can take all 3.

young edge
#

and mirrors for glazer are tied to a WQ? or what spawned those I dont remember

river maple
#

Glazer has a wq, that no one has seen in forever, that spawns a puzzle in his room. There is a seperate, more advanced, puzzle that has an unkown spawn trigger. be it time or something people can do to force it.

#

The advance puzzle has been spotted over the years since this was discovered. no one knows if it sdpawns from strictly time or some yet unknown trigger.

flat adder
#

isn't the current assumption that this was yeeted and replaced, cause it now has a chest, which is clearly connected to this secret

#

and the owl is likely triggering the spawn of it

#

except that we don't have the... whatever to make it work xd

young edge
#

Just looking it feels like there should be more I get its for the bike but

#

just seems odd

flat adder
#

cause the chest was encrypted and wasn't inteded, and since then it's gone again

river maple
#

For sure. I, personally, think the behind the scenes changes were to clean up the puzzle, as you said, and upon completion (the advanced glazer puzzle) you get the new chest which will give us the big orb the other "complete" ones do.

young edge
#

anyone have an alt who hasnt done any of this? curious about the 4 owl statues walking into the instance

#

if theyre glowing for everyone

river maple
#

that was one of the changes.

#

if im not mistaken, they changed to be lit up from nothing.

midnight eagle
flat adder
#

oddly enough when i checked on the ptr, the lights are not activated there neither outside nor inside but the clickable owl exists

river maple
#

Cause I guess, presumbly, no one had ever taken the pet into the instance and checked that room.

#

And it needed to be spelled out

young edge
#

so I think? this is known? but I went into mythic killed the first boss and noticed this statue disappeared I went into the next room and before I went down the lift it respawned

river maple
#

One of the imps blows it up. it respawns and it loops

quartz fern
#

did using the starry eyed goggles show anything more in the dungeon?

turbid umbra
mental creek
#

Unless the secret was modified for the felcycle, or was never a real secret to begin with

#

Like the other 'secrets' they've used so far this event

quartz fern
#

there was the note we find that mentions "incomplete secrets"

dense wolf
#

4 colours here fits perfectly or 5, and we have 4 or 5 more statues what a coincidence

high quest
#

Now that we have the Starry-Eyed Goggles has anyone gone into the instance with them on again?

high quest
#

I wanna hunt for more stuff but I have to emergency grind 198k gold PepeLaugh

sick island
#

2 mins would not be enough time to get from ZM back to the colored orbs room 😦

#

You can pick up fruit as well that gives us color but there is no red one

high quest
#

yeah i'm a broke bish and keep my sub active with tokens

mental creek
#

Damn I could never afford that with my gold farming skills hahaha

#

I got excited by the pin btw sadge

high quest
#

wait

#

I HVE AN IDEA

#

I used it earlier today and it said "you see purple"

#

what if we use that in the room with the statue

mental creek
#

I don't think I've even used 10% of my toys ever lol. Give it a go 😄

high quest
#

I mean we use quite a few toys and pets right now

turbid umbra
#

Were the owls in the entrance hallway to the instance always in the same 4 colours?

mental creek
#

They weren't colored originally

turbid umbra
#

Might have something to do with the felcycle too, that's the confusing bit right now I suppose

high quest
#

I think so because we still don't know how to activate the statues inside the instance room itself yet

#

asll we know is theres now a small statue in the instance you can click but nothing happens

turbid umbra
#

Has that book ever been spotted? Odd place for a random book 🤔

high quest
#

If I remember right it's for an alchemy quest in legion but that spot is also where a loot chest spawns

turbid umbra
#

Ah ok, never had alchemy higher than wotlk or cata level

high quest
#

okay so it's 100% that the statue is only there with the bird pet which means we need to do more buffing of the bird outside of the instance

#

So I wonder if we have to actually buff the bird at all of the statues as they change

halcyon pelican
high quest
#

and not just 4 of them

green crest
turbid umbra
#

Maybe it needs a toy active, like the obelisk.

high quest
#

nah I think we just haven't unlocked the step yet and maybe the bird gets leveled up

#

cause it is a fledgling warden owl after all

green crest
#

Because when you come inside with 1, 2 or only 3 buffs and nights elune you cant see statue.. only 4 buffs -> buff above pet head -> grab elunes light -> statue

turbid umbra
#

can we drag the achievement specter or whatever it's called into the statue room?

halcyon pelican
#

The first two won't leave their rooms. You may be able to kite the final one from what I've heard, but I don't think they'll go up the elevator.

high quest
#

did anyone check if leveling the bird and it's rarity changes it

halcyon pelican
#

I say that because none of the other mobs will travel the elevators from my testing

#

And I've tested literally like every mob

halcyon pelican
young rose
#

I thought someone brought ghost inquisitor to stat at some point but i could be wrong, worth testing anything twice too

halcyon pelican
high quest
#

I'm just basing this updated puzzle piece around the fact that the bird is titled as "a young companion in need of training" and its only level 1 so maybe maxing it's level?

young rose
high quest
#

I don't think that would matter as long as it hit 25

young rose
#

Still havent seen lilidan spawn

green crest
#

We tried pet battles max level,.. etc. So we need something different.

high quest
#

we've even gone to all the statues outside using the new goggles to check for more invisible birds?

young rose
#

If its something from felcycle 5 hope its satisfying answer after all this 🤣

halcyon pelican
high quest
#

because it's definately something else outside with the bird since we're missing 5 steps to it still

young rose
#

Does anyone have a screenshot of the first time someone gets a spin and mag glass with iwl outside and no enpowerment? Il try alt later if not. Im curious to see if the mag glass changed at all to the grey one after empowerenent or if it stayed the same?

high quest
#

it definately has some tie to the blue red green purple

#

Hmmge Wait

#

What if the colors are tied to expansion locations involving wardens

#

legion being the green location

#

red being TBC and black temple

young rose
#

Is good idea def worth a try, ive popped by the wardens in a few places but nothing myself

halcyon pelican
#

Purple?

high quest
#

maybe BFA

#

void elves?

halcyon pelican
#

Idk, seems like a stretch

young rose
#

Void elves were legion 7.3 i thought? Or was that just the runup

halcyon pelican
#

Void Elves became playable in BfA

#

Midnight will be purple but that's obviously not it

young rose
#

Yeah, colours could be something boss room, zone, expansion or just need to be handed a clue somewhere - for felcycle stuff there were thousands trying rando stuff but it seems the answers were mostly there just needed to decrypt explicit clues. Does just feel like were missing one. Havent gone through the whole thing yet though

high quest
#

Or it could legit be tied to the zones in legion

#

azsuna is blue, suramar is purple, valshara is red, highmountain and storm are both green

young rose
#

I known it was tested in the old days but we have a reference to dimensional rifting from downstairs could be worth checking out again with owl

halcyon pelican
#

I think part of the problem here and what makes this difficult, is that we don't know if we're solving a Legion secret at this point (with updated features) or a new one.

#

If it's from Legion, there could be things people would have done back then that we wouldn't think of now.

high quest
#

wrong thread

gusty heart
#

whoops! sorry!

arctic ruin
#

the goggles doesnt seem to do anything

#

well, atleast inside

austere jolt
#

good afternoon all, am so behind and want to know something, the interaction of the owl pet with watchers outside the VotW and the orbs is related for the rats karazhan scenario ?

winged spade
# austere jolt good afternoon all, am so behind and want to know something, the interaction of ...

getting the buffs from the owl statues gives 4 orbs on one of the pedestals in the Ratts scenario, in the Vault dung it allows you to see a clickable owl in a room just before Tirathon, but only after you have killed Cordana and brought the orb from that platform up to the room,
We are stuck on how to get the owl to let up click it. It is presumed that something from another solve in Ratts scenario will be needed to progress in the dung, but we don't know yet.

mental creek
#

Did they limit who can message in the felcycle channel?

wintry panther
#

with the 7 O'Clock Torch: Watchers part what if you dont have "Fledgling Warden Owl Battle Pet" can you use any owl or no

hearty rover

I wouldn't be surprised if it's locked behind the previous orbs being lit

runic nacelle
#

I've been going through all the docs/notes people have done during Legion searching for clues and I've noticed Fledgling Warden Owl is mentioned there only once. So was that simply not discovered back then, or is Fledgling Warden Owl only relevant for the new TWW felcycle secret?

winged spade
runic nacelle
#

makes sense, thank you

winged spade
#

and we definitely didn't hang out at the buffs for the time limit it requires to get the animation, we concentrated on speed runs to the next buff

wooden jacinth
#

I don't know if this is old or something new. In the Vault of Wardens dungeon I saw these lights that match the owls we attune the pet to.

hearty rover
#

so if the owl turn around when near owl statues , does it turns also on the statue of Cardona ? without taking it . i'm new to the thread

#

or maybe it will not take it cause it has 4 already and 4 is the max it can take.

green crest
#

Which statue of Cordana?
Buff gives only 9 statues on the isle whoch you can click.

hearty rover
#

so instead of taking it, the owl might do the same thing like the other 9 statues outside the dungeon.

flat adder
#

does anyone by chance remember what kind of objectid the chest in votw had which we can't currently get to?

hearty rover
#

cause with the owl with 4 buffs you can see the colors faintly with the white orb with you. what if, the owl has the white orb it might change? i have yet to try when i get home.

#

but the door opens once you kill cordana right ?

flat adder
#

the colors don't change if you have a buffed owl or not

Assuming it's gettable multiple times, has anyone tried bringing "The Light of Their Love" to the statue inside vault along with the cordana orb and empowl?

# stone spade

Try leaving the area and coming back.
Portal out of there and come back, maybe even swap WM on/off.
It could be a bug with the servers. It's a big day for blizzard today

marsh star
#

Is it possible that we need to solve other puzzles and get into the room with the owl watcher volumes before this can be solved?

#

I've been trying to focus on hate but considering 1 o clock revealed 2 o clock, 2 o clock revealed 3 o clock, I think that it might be a bit before we can finish owl of the watchers idk

calm rune
#

maybe!

#

we just don't know

#

definitely some steps can be done out of order

marsh star
#

the vault of the wardens stuff seems like defintely the answer, we just can't do anything there yet

stone spade
#

Thank you !

hearty rover
#

this ever happened ?

#

orb became purple

#

ah nvm it's because maybe of the name

hearty rover
#

did anyone tried to get the buffs in order ? it's the last play in my mind

calm rune
#

its been tried

#

but the order we get the buffs is pretty random

#

ie it's easy to get the buffs accidentally

hearty rover
#

tried the warden transmog legion artifact weapons , legion artifacts

rich gorge
#

My issue with the owl getting the buffs is that he can go both clockwise and counterclockwise when acquiring the buff. Something to think about when we closer to the 7 O'clock part of felcycle.

orchid swift
#

Has anyone tried getting a buff at all 9 statues?

green crest
#

and yes, we tried take buff from every statue, but feel free to try it

#

maybe you can discover something new :))

#

but imo we need progress with felcycle to unlock new hints for this step with owls

Agreed I was just curious

nah, we don't know why

besides, EU has daily stuff first, NA has weekly stuff first, and there's not midweek yet

I know lol

young rose
river maple
#

Ah, kk

young rose
#

whats going on what hav ei missed

#

lmao

NA was affected by a bug that allowed us to sequence break

young rose
#

ahh ok

#

what happened?

river maple
arctic ruin
#

I AM DEVASTATED

calm rune
#

but brute force protection has prevented any further progress

river maple
#

opened glazer puzzle

young rose
#

ohh ok

#

well that answers that then lol

calm rune
#

yep. The cog icon changed to a hand icon on the hidden statue and we were able to loot it for some reason

river maple
#

i also just confirmed it can be done on normal and mythic, the two ones we can reset.

young rose
#

fuck sake could they not just have made it not hoverable before lol

calm rune
#

yeah I did it on normal for testing

young rose
#

jesus this is why i never engage with this lol

#

i dont regret the hooting though XD

arctic ruin
#

HOOT?

calm rune
#

I totally understand the bugs honestly

young rose
#

yeah its not the bugs its the fact it could be clicked pre felcycle etc

river maple
#

ok, now that I have the 9th coin im going back to the watchers cause im like 99% sure the muffin is in that chest

#

that we cant get to spawn

calm rune
#

I get that

young rose
#

ahh well im still having fun on clue 1 cipher lol but dont think ill do this again 🤣

calm rune
#

maybe it was a partially completed secret before and the anniversary gave them a place to pick it back up?

river maple
#

thats my thinking. Adding the owl to force spawn the puzzle instead of its schedule, wahtever it was.

calm rune
#

could have run into tech issues or whatever else

#

i also dont know how much of a troll muffinus was or not lol

arctic ruin
#

due to the bug we atleast now know what is making the glazer spawn

#

in short

#

the process of it

river maple
#

Which, in my line of thinking, is the last step

#

So there are X steps between what we have and that

calm rune
#

yeah i agree

river maple
#

Also, the hate pedestal has the big orb but kept all the little orbs

#

I just think it means the hate coins are tied to something else.

#

Oh no. Theres a report that if you complete the glazer puzzle it shows the bigger orb

arctic ruin
#

...it cannot be that simple

#

i want my owl story

#

to be worthy of its time

flat adder
#

what did i miss

arctic ruin
#

@flat adder the glazer puzzle showed up

flat adder
#

it's now clickable or is that what the pin is about that it's not supposed to be clickable still

arctic ruin
#

first we though its EU bugged since NA can do it

#

but turns out NA is bugged

#

and they got it somehow

#

while they shouldn't

flat adder
#

my guess is they hotfixed something about it, but wrong then

#

weird

#

so it does what we expected, it spawns the glazer puzzle?

arctic ruin
#

yes

#

....and thats about it

flat adder
#

welp

arctic ruin
#

de facto solved pillar 7

flat adder
#

but we still haven't technically solved it lol

#

true

river maple

#

just means it's a personalized puzzle

#

seems ok

imagine being EU right

#

#

anyway that pretty much confirms whatever the 'old' secret was, it was repurposed for felcycle entirely

river maple
#

As far as I know, yea

rich gorge
#

Are we allowed to know where a "moonblade" showed up? I understand statue is bugged and should be left alone.

calm rune
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

river maple
#

In the lowest level, with Cordana

#

In the darker area about middle. With the two spirits and the spider lady.

calm rune
#

i guess it depends if EU can see the moonblade?

river maple
#

On the side overlooking that book for the quest.

calm rune
#

no idea

arctic ruin
#

tbf, i didnt see a bluepost saying "its bugged, dont do it" hmmm

river maple
#

Directly to the left of where you would have taken the jump down skip

#

And it shows up with just the light, no goggles.

calm rune
#

check it with a character that has no ratts progress?

river maple
#

What I assume happend is the 9th coin got discovered and entered which turned soemthing on in this secret (perhaps the blade) and inadvertantly made the statue be able to be picked up

calm rune
river maple
#

is my thought

calm rune
#

hmm

#

seems odd

#

maybe!

Yeah, I'm here for the thrill of the chase and maybe to help folks get ideas on how to solve things. I don't have any chance of getting solves on anything first or hopes of getting much without significant hints. I think it's just cool that this is a weird thing that exists.

calm rune
#

Oh sure there's always gonna be better puzzles.

tardy pond
calm rune
#

Like this game is a tower built on a pile of spaghetti and puzzles are a very new method of playing it, relatively speaking

flat adder
#

yeah no puzzle on eu, as it works 'properly?' here for some reason, but at least it does what we expected and unlock the puzzle so there is nothing left to guess here 'what will it do', just now how we get here but it just randomly showing moonblade in the instance on US but nothing on eu.. ehm yeah just bugged shit

calm rune
#

But I am enjoying being part of the WoW game world and working on it with characters and npcs/lore/etc I've been playing for 20 years now

flat adder
#

so who knows what is really supposed to be lol

young edge
#

so whats the TLDR? its bugged on NA and not on EU? or its working as intended on NA? confused on if the puzzle is supposed to be active or not

#

been kinda tuned in and out because of work

flat adder
#

it's not supposed to work right now is the TL;DR

#

but it does on US

young edge
#

so basically we know from this that the statue becomes lootable and triggers the glazer puzzle? but we dont know what makes or is suppose to make the statue lootable?

calm rune
#

according to the secret discord owner, it's a bug

#

presumably theyve heard from a trustworthy source

young edge
#

despairge so its time gated?

calm rune
#

no

tardy pond
#

Any changes on the statues? Am here now going through again, most give the "you can't do that" - cave statue gives nothing. Bugged?

flat adder
#

the way it's worded makes it actually timegated if doing other things just makes it work lol, instead of 'Still needs to be properly solved' or something like that

tardy pond
calm rune
#

The step should resolve itself at some point in the future.

river maple
calm rune
#

makes it sound like a bug will be resolved

#

or that it will become more obvious when we should go back

#

like if we KNEW what all the steps were, we could just do them

#

today

young edge
#

my guess is its supposed to be an indicator from the replica statues

#

but we dont have what ever unlocks the replica statues from the cycle stuff

tardy pond
#

In any case, we still need steps for the big glow orb to appear- right now we only have 4 mini orbs.

river maple
#

Thats my thought as well. There are two statues in Ratts' scenario and two more orbs would make the circle of orbs in the statues room complete.

young edge
#

I get the impression that the muffin that people are looking for is probably in the chest, but said chest cant spawn till glazer stuff is done but glazer stuff wont spawn or isnt suppose to until you figure out the .. yeah brain going off the rails

tardy pond
#

Last we saw the puzzle was before the owl buff tho.. So i dunno <>

#

I will be doing mythic testing on EU if anyone wants to join, full mythic clear and running around with the light orbs searching for things and crabs

raven shale
#

It is confirmed to not work

#

No need to bother on EU

tardy pond
#

No moonblade hiding either? Sadge

raven shale
#

Nothing

flat adder
#

same as before on EU, nada

raven shale
#

Just visible, currently, unsolvable steps because peak design (EU)

tardy pond
#

Mhm okay so nada <.>

halcyon pelican
#

what on earth

tardy pond
#

They unbugged the dead demons that werent really dead. 🤣

halcyon pelican
#

I left for 30 minutes to make my classic era characters and now everything's on fire

calm rune
#

It's OK Ork

#

Nothing to see here /waveshand

visual sand
#

well... IDK it was finded or not...

With light of elune from last bos there is visible statue - not very much touchable and has no name. :i Need hold up to see

halcyon pelican
#

too late I just killed Cordana

tardy pond
#

Poor lady can't catch a break. I won't be killing her tonight tho x3

I went back to classic instead- can't decide between anniversary realms or era

halcyon pelican
#

oh yeah I was just making sure I got my names on the new anniversary servers

#

so that's it huh

#

the thing we've been doing for the past 2 weeks finally does something. amazing end to the secret.

flat adder
#

only because it's broken for US and not supposed to be interactable yet

halcyon pelican
#

I don't get it. What changed?

calm rune
#

there's more

#

you can pick up the statue

#

notice the hand icon and tooltip

halcyon pelican
#

yeah I have it

calm rune
#

you can go put it down in glazers room

#

and it will spawn the puzzle

#

we're not supposed to be able to pick it up though

halcyon pelican
#

should I put it back down

calm rune
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i'd just hold it for now probably

fading sedge
#

Am I doing it right?

halcyon pelican
#

I ran this dungeon hours ago and it wasn't interactable. I wonder what happened.

flat adder
#

well the way the statue felt to me before, because it wasn't clickable, had no tooltip and nor was cached, felt 'encrypted'

#

and somehow they decrypted it on US

calm rune
#

yeah

flat adder
#

just dunno how this really happens on one side but not the other xd

#

we don't have a insight on that spaghetti code

halcyon pelican
#

are we 100% sure it's a bug on NA side?

flat adder
#

yes confirmed

#

but if you are US you can just do it, not like it will harm ya

#

just EU ppl have to wait until it can be done properly kek

river maple
river maple
#

Which almost guarantees that the muffin is in the hidden chest.

#

Imo

halcyon pelican
river maple
flat adder
#

even on US it seems.. incomplete, due the moonblade popping up but doing nothing as far as i understand as it's not interactable

river maple
#

Also, if they are indeed pushing updates manually, which something Josh said seemed to hint at, they could ahve pushed NA, seen that it was bugged and not pushed EU

#

So we need the steps between we can see the statue with the orbs and to being able to pick it up

#

The puzzle is likely the end.

flat adder
#

yuh but what about the chest, does it appear on US

river maple
#

Perhaps with a ton more eyes on the owl statues more can be found.

river maple
flat adder
#

or does what does 'solving' the puzzle do, just nothing happens beyond it completing a q?

river maple
#

i saw 1 person say he got the bigger orb to appear over the pedestal but only the one

flat adder
#

that is.. kinda oof i think? ppl might have to go back there to loot the chest when they fix it

calm rune
#

Yeah. When it showed up erroneously weeks ago, there was a chest that spawned when you finished the puzzle, but that was a bug.

river maple
#

The puzzle is also much more difficult

young edge
#

Basically sounds like it's a personalized puzzle and harder

river maple
#

its random on spawn and unkown links on spawn

calm rune
#

And around that time Josh said "good thing there's protection from brute force"

river maple
#

But its possible there are only so many possible spawn combos and a solution to each.

#

Seems like something a group would do faster as well but also soloable.

tardy pond
#

Did anyone record what steps they took on NA that might or might not have been different to the ones taken on EU?
Its obvious that steps are missing, if we assume we need 4+ more mini steps to spawn that big orb (if we, again, assume that all of this is also related to whatever is going on with the statues)
I just have to assume that, as most of these "new" statues are new patch-wise, and nothing else has happened throughout the massive amounts of testing and researching and clicking things..

flat adder
#

there is no steps missing

tardy pond
#

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE testing and running around on this island, watching my mini empowl do his circles!

flat adder
#

it was CONFIRMED it is bugged

#

there is nothing, it's just not meant to be activated right now

young edge
tardy pond
#

Oh, the fact that it appeared at all was a bug, gotcha, the part about the moonblade confused me I think.

river maple
#

well, when we get a clue referencing a watcher/warden weapon, we know where to look

ivory jewel
#

reminder:

#

old secret = added in legion

flat adder
#

the old secret is gone, there is 0 indication it still exists

ivory jewel
#

how do you know?

#

I hope thats not the case. they shouldve given us a hint instead of removing it, or changing it

arctic ruin
#

well

#

if they would have said "this is done"

#

we would be aware that it did exist

#

making it not a secret anymore

halcyon pelican
flat adder
#

even josh was pretty wishywashy about it, so without getting some sort of 'hey old secret still there!!1' at least, it's dead cause who would still bother now without knowing

halcyon pelican
#

we'll have to see what happens but it doesn't look good for the Legion secret rn

ivory jewel
#

maybe josh could be nice enough to tell us when we have completed the felcycle secret

arctic ruin
#

probs

flat adder
#

we can't even really check if the old secret was maybe just getting that orb above the owl be it

arctic ruin
#

we can

#

wait for legion classic

#

👀

flat adder
#

gonna be a while xD

calm rune
#

only like, 4 or 5 years?

#

ez

arctic ruin
#

imagine it tho

#

we get there

#

and see

#

there was nothing

#

unfinished

calm rune
#

lol

arctic ruin
#

which in all honestly is possible

halcyon pelican
#

it's really hard for me to believe nobody took the warden pet to each of the warden statues for years, and just by chance someone did a couple weeks before this event that centers around it

#

like what are the chances

arctic ruin
#

someone would have known during legion

#

even then, puzzles were active

calm rune
#

well, there were zone and object IDs posted in here in like July?

arctic ruin
#

.02 update

#

.03?

#

idk the patchs

#

to be fair with all of this

#

the statues were updated recently

#

so just going by all that logic

#

it is higly likely that the puzzle didnt exist before

#

only the mystery of it

halcyon pelican
#

occam's razor fr

arctic ruin
#

it is

halcyon pelican
#

personally not a fan

arctic ruin
#

reworking old unused ideas into something new, isnt bad

halcyon pelican
#

imo they should just say if people have been wasting their time for years

#

but I know some people like chasing secrets that may not exist

outer blade
#

RE: warden pet comment - you can see it out in some of the pics in the doc

arctic ruin
#

to be honest, how can we know if any of the other 12 secrets currently on going arent reused from old unfinished secrets

#

some more or less known

#

what if the felcycle trip is just "we gonna finish all the secrets ever existed"

#

it could be all of them, unreleased, released, reworked

#

lets hope josh will give us an asnwer after the felcycle puzzle is over, atleast a yes or no to "was it ever finished during legion or before felcycle"

outer blade
#

whatever it ends up being, it did get me to resub just to enjoy exploring and investigating with you all for the past week

#

i have really enjoyed it so gonna count it as a win

halcyon pelican
#

it was fun

arctic ruin
#

im rarely in any communities, but trying to figure this out in any way with the rest, is fun

outer blade
#

and when it's solved i will have an answer to the many-year mystery lol

untold valley
#

genuine question popping in here, with the "old" secret aka the legion version secret, I know people have been talking about it being revamped/reworked. If the current steps to working on what is being actively solved were in the game pre BFA content then that would mean it's been in the game the whole time versus post felcycle if anything post BFA was added it would indicate that it was part of the new secret yeah?

ivory jewel
#

not sure I understand what you are asking

dim rivet
halcyon pelican
rigid dagger
#

Is the green statue bugged? The owl circles around and I get the magnifying pop up, but ATT doesnt say a quest flagged

arctic ruin
#

not sure even if att can tell that it is a quest

#

continue for the rest

rigid dagger
#

The other 3 all flagged a quest

arctic ruin
#

try agsin then idk

#

ur owl should get the cloud above its head

dim rivet
arctic ruin
#

nothing, it shouldnt be interactable

rigid dagger
arctic ruin
#

u probs got that color before then?

rigid dagger
#

JNope, did Red, Blue and Purple

#

Checking kara, maybe green just doesnt have a quest for some reason

arctic ruin
#

does ur owl have the cloud above its head

rigid dagger
#

Has 4 orbs, so I guess green just doesnt have a quest for some reason

halcyon pelican
dim rivet
#

ok so there isnt anything to do even though i have something that we are not suppose to have yet??

flat adder
#

on us you can place the figurine in the glazer puzzle room to unlock the puzzle, where the original sentry was but yeah, it's not supposed to be active

halcyon pelican

Is there a summary or something that tells what's up with the gazer thing in Vault of the Wardens?

orchid swift
#

I was able to pick up that little owl

#

nvm I see this is old now haha

@spark island summary: forget this secret for now until blizzard fixes it

The reach last week was actually quite funny if you think about it 🤣

#

Got stuck after Tirathon died :(

#

his weapons are just spinning around infinitely after I already looted the guy.

#

hearthed out and walked back in, and Tirathon's door is just closed and I'm locked out of the whole dungeon.

young edge
#

I spawned into a mythic vault of the wardens and cant get to cordana and cant leave

#

Cross-posting some stuff I found in Azsuna after deciding to check every Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting location due to its presence inside the catacombs.

First pic, I found a smaller but identical statue to the moonkin one from the catacombs. This location is in the room at the bottom of the tower that Dimensional Rifting chapter 2 spawns on top of when it is active. It points almost directly at Nar'thalas Academy, but there was otherwise no other nearby interaction (even with starry-eyed goggles).

Second pic, I found a scroll inside Nar'thalas Academy which has no interaction but also turns up no results on Wowhead or Google. Given that the owl statue pointed me in that direction, I have to think they are related, and perhaps tied to further advancing the Watchers portion of felcycle.

#

Dimensional Rifting chapter 5 also has a Legion Communicator near it with Cordana speaking to a quest target, and it uses the same one as in the felcycle room.

river maple
#

yea, my current theory is that now that we've trained the owl we have to train ourselves. So we will be a trained warden with a trained owl pet.

#

So trying to find things to kill that are within range of the buffs seems like a worthy endeavor.

lofty notch
#

Well now what?

stoic agate
#

do it again when we're actually supposed to do it

lofty notch
#

ah crap

arctic ruin
#

not intended to be solvable now

#

NOT INTENDED BUT U CAN

#

LETS FUCKINGGO

graceful harness
#

How to you get the puzzle to show up after Glazer? 2nd week in a row after killing everything and no puzzle, no owl statue...owl pet activated, have all the things going (goggles, etc)...??

arctic ruin
#

is it solvable no? idk, probably not until we get there.

hearty rover
#

anyone tried to place the sentry in the catacombs ?

ivory jewel
#

yes, doesnt work, as you cant see it if you are not holding elune's light

#

So, I might have missed it in the various postings but does anyone know what the deal is with Cordona's Specter?

midnight eagle
#

It is part of the achievement "A Specter, Iluminated"

sturdy shell
#

Gotcha. Thank you.

tardy pond
#

So they made the bug an eu bug. Still clueless what step we were missing to actually be able to pick it up. MegaWorry
