Developer ImDaMisterL Posted April 6, 2017 Developer Share Posted April 6, 2017 With the release of the free A New Reign expansion, comes more puzzles and mysteries from Klei. The Fuelweaver's 3rd form, fightable in the Atrium, has a string of quote that said "Metheus..." The user @ImDaMisterL, with his ingenious and brilliant mind, just goofed up the webpage and inputted that there as a what if. What an Einstein. Click here to be redirected to the puzzle's page! So, what exactly lead the community to think something was going on? Klei posted the release trailer of the A New Reign free expansion: And it had some moments where hidden images could be seen i one paused at the right time before/after/in the middle of transitions. The first one: Spoiler That seemed to depict weird symbol, maybe even a language, and the community already started to theorize. Some people linked the some of the symbols to older William Carter/Maxwell puzzles. The second one: Spoiler The First Day When entering the website, you'd be face to face with this: Spoiler Yes, a cave wall and what appears to be some torches/lanterns. Nothing special was happening, and we realized we'd have to wait. Ater that, the user @Mobbstar used pro hacking skills to access the available assets page and found 4 very interesting images: Spoiler Those images appeared to depict the murals that told us a bit of the ancients' story in-game, but much more detailed now, of course. People realized though, that the 2nd mural was missing. Some time after, Klei restricted the assets page more than before, and if you tried getting those images now, they'd be like this: Spoiler The Metheus page updated again that day, adding bowls of what seems to be paint and brushes: Spoiler The Second Day The page updated once again: Spoiler @CarlZalph Made a compilation of the symbols and the apparent alphabet of the ancients: Spoiler And @Zeklo made a post with each individual symbol, found here: @Cherryzion made a compilation of the symbols we've had in older puzzles, their names and meanings: Spoiler The page updated 3 more times that day: Spoiler @Maslak Made a truly great discovery as well: metheus.dontstarvetogether.com/tenebris The Third Day In this day, the page updated thrice! Spoiler According to @Canal_WP, the page will update 2 more times today, at 2:55 and 10:55 PM, as it appears to update every 8 hours. EDIT: That turned out to be wrong The Fourth Day So far, the page has only updated once today: Spoiler Thank you so very much, @Aeschwutz, for helping me with all the images I haven't (and even the ones I have) collected. This probably would've taken much more time if it wasn't for your awesome help! Huge Update (And link to guide!) This topic would be updated as the puzzle progressed, but I'm a bit busy nowadays, so I'll take longer to update it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobbstar Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I agree with Sudura. Unlike the Cyclum puzzle, here the source code suggests no interactivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobbstar Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 There's an "obelisk_turn" thingie... It has CSS styles for "login steam" and "login rail". The steam login is almost certainly for later, so you get your free skin gift for solving the puzzle! I'll edit this post with more findings (EDIT: it seems the steam login may be used to bring the tragic torch from the cyclum puzzle to this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousKoala Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The stone walls and the dim lights make me think this'll have something to do with the ancients prior to their discovery of the fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1v0 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Nice ! I was just about to start checking every frame of the new video (saw it some 1-2 mins ago) . I knew that all the waiting was not for nothing ! I suppose when we solve the puzzle we get new stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wexton Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 It only took us like half an hour to find the puzzle after the trailer was released. I guess thats why they make us have to wait days to be able to do the next step of the puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
