[SOLUTION COMING UP] Not your average potery

Closed
Noctis149

In the tomb sleeps a hitman,
the final quest of Kain
ends in front of the cross,
fear the invaders from the ocean kingdom
lead by a vagrant just thief,
the saga of the alchemist
profile of a parasite
mana ex conundrum.

Republic of Dante
honor in crisis
a spore in need for a shock
a city in burnout.
The ring of mass
held by the orange potter
godfather of the syndicate.
On the battlefield the dragon falls
the plants in the mirror
command the dead band.
The army is in reckoning.

And what is up is destined to fall
and what has fallen will rise again.

Now I'm reading this... Currently stuck on part 2. I hope the time left is sufficient.

I'll post the answers a bit late because of problems with my PC. In the meantime, since you like puzzles like catnip, you can still solve that one.

Hmmm... if you really do get it but not the answers, then I plan on giving a hint for this obstacle later on. In the meantime check the potery again.

Too soon for that one. I would hope that you will be able to solve it without hints. I also have another puzzle up. Who knows, it might offer some insipration! I am curious, you solved part one 12 minutes after it was posted but how long did it actually take you to solve it?

About 1 minute because of that trick that you mentioned in the description. It was nice though :D. Now I am working on this one, it so far seems ubreakable.

Well, that's good to know. I had people solve something very similar before without complaints. But when I posted this one someone thought it was "just badly formed nonsense", "more along the lines of random luck" and "you think you have been obscure, instead you've been obtuse". Shows them how wrong they were.

Are you sure that you didn't make a mistake when typing the answer? It seems so obvious yet nothing that I've tried works :(.

No mistakes there. I try to be very careful with these things and just in case I doublechecked again. If you are so sure about your answer then feel free to PM it to me. You can find me in the S.Gifts chat.

I won't be sure until I click submit and it says "Correct". Am I wrong to assume that the theme is the same as the one from the first puzzle?

Yes, you are wrong. The theme is totally different. Start from a clean slate.

Thank you, I gave up for now and I'll be waiting for the hint to activate as without the theme that poem could apply to many, many things and I've already used up my theories.

Thanks for the great puzzles. :D

Somehow, I doubt that hint will be helpful. I am worried that any kind of hint would be too spoilerific and one of the solvers agreed with that. Still, I might offer something but only much latter. For now, if you are to attempt this again, keep in mind what I said, that the second part has nothing to do with the first.

Fake edit: LOL, I just woke and I'm sleepy and all. YOU were that solver.

If you really got it then you wouldn't be wondering about how to write it down. Unless you got it right but missed a certain important part of the potery.

Possibly, that's why I wrote that I think I got it. ^^

Or you got it wrong and that's why you are not sure. There should be no ambiguity about the way to write the correct answers. Although, once again, there is a little trick to writting them correctly that is explained in the potery. If you are not sure what part of the potery that is, then it is probably the case that the answers you have are wrong.

Remember, like I said to someone else, the theme for part 2 is different form part 1. Start from a clean slate.

The hint for part 1 is up. Don't be misled by the hint, you may have reached the questions but the answers are in the potery.

No new solvers. It seems that those who solved it were easily able to do it early on, whereas those who didn't are overthinking things too much. If you have trouble then you are doing something very wrong. Start anew.

Still stuck? You are probably overthinking it. Part 2 has a different theme from part 1 but it is still somewhat easy.

Final hints.
Part 1: Potery can make you remember your own relevant past experiences. Does mine do that to you?
Part 2: The first two verses are best viewed together. Each other verse is better viewed on it's own. They all refer to a group and define what makes the answer special among the members of that group.
