THE COMPLETE, DETAILED AND COMMENTED, SOLUTION
http://goo.gl/7Ilca


Hello again! Yesterday I created a new steam group for my cause:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/thecoopinitiative

Notice that joining that group has nothing to do with participating in my giveaways.
The Co-Op initiative is a group I created with the objective of having a LOT of co-op players join it. My long-term wish is to have a strong, big group where it is easy to set up co-op matches in various games (even those kinda old ones).

Wanna give your support? Join the group!
Need co-op people to play with? Join the group!
Do you lack that nice group with nice good people? Join the group!


Puzzle giveaway time!
Today I will be giving away Risen.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/40300/

It may not be the BEST GAME EVAH but its free, so why not try to get it?
I like puzzles so, to make things a little more interesting, I created one. It might be not as hard as other puzzles, but I can't measure it against others because my puzzles are done my style.
The private giveaway link is located in a text file. To get that text file you will need to get a .rar file that is obtained by correctly answering the istoohard puzzle. That rar file has many protections: to get the txt at the end you will need to do a lot of things, but there are ALWAYS CLUES to each step, so look carefully in every section of the puzzle to find those clues.

ENTER THE PUZZLE (fixed version v2, previous rar files had an error):

The "Its Too Hard" 2 question thingy is the first part of the puzzle. The second part is a RAR file that has many protections like passwords. There is a clue to beat each "layer", and various levels of difficulty.

You are on the right track to solve the first part. Don't give up if you think you are wrong.

The clue for the pass indeed doesn't help.

The clue for the first rar pass helps you to think in the right direction. You need to be a scientist - experiment with things!

Time for the first hint! Regarding the Too Hard Puzzle:

What you can't understand at first is everything you need to understand.
You can't solve the Too Hard Puzzle without tools! (not necessarily a software, but could be)
