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):

Like I said to someone:
Every puzzle has a hidden prize. That prize is the puzzle itself.
The puzzle itself is already a present, a gift from me to you guys!

Good luck to everyone else.

@TheSteamDude - Will you post the solution when the giveaway ends? I'd like to know if I was just over thinking it like I usually tend to do with some puzzles.

Can't believe I am stuck on the 11th one (2nd part). I have a general idea which direction I need to look, but all combinations fail me

In the riddle with two rars, one contains the clue to the other; After the clue it should be easy to solve with minimal research.

Yea, I already got the first part, and know what it was, but still having no luck with second. - edit - finally got it. Oddly enough, it was one of the firs things I tried, but because the folder names extended so far, it wouldn't extract, so thought it was just a failed password
