Nope, ceaser can be shifted any ammount, the offset I chose is just 13

There are only 25 shifts you can do with Caeser cipher, easy to brute force all 25 and see which returns a sensible answer

And hint 2 reads
Et tu Brute,
Which is a Latin phrase often used poetically to represent the last words of Roman dictator Julius Caesar
Caeser Cipher is the type of Cipher used in the second part

I used Caesar Cipher with every offset but couldn't recognize Welsh...
And then I thought it was encrypted by Monoalphabetic Cipher, still got nothing because I used an English dict to decode it.
I tried other ways for a few hours then gave up and sat for the solution.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting puzzle and giveaway!

That is the reason I used Welsh, without the eye for the language most people would have skipped over it when using the Cipher thinknig it was gibberish

I tried the monoalphabetic route too, guessing around, playing with the repeating patterns. Eventually I got lythyr and it sounded kinda like letter in some language, so tried google translate and wham. It turned out there is monoalphabetic subsitution indeed but it's a simple rot 13. Nothing like throwing in rot13 for a good measure. Funny how Welsh is such a cipher, reminds me of Navajo used during WWII

This is the result for MA Cipher, but use a wrong dict(English):
you'r ssether dentom ev'r ssether b
you'r ois sether en e ssether vethmul en e vellgr ssolin cesmoungs
you'r trelell ssether er an moth mus e dentom
you'r ssether nucom en denredhigsi noiss oi ssomoriol nua detcuinioil en coucnuf
If I use Welsh dict I would get the solution since Caesar cipher is one of the simplification of MA cipher.
And thanks for telling me Navajo, it's an interesting story.

ಠ_ಠ Well at least I'm confident I wasn't too stupid to solve it, welsh is not something I'd ever recognize. Given that not even english is my native language, it's pretty obvious. The thing that ultimately confused me though, was that I grew confident that Znr'e is "Who's" in a weird ciphered way and the 5 lines are questions about 5 persons whose names are the solution to the link.
Oh well, at least I'm relieved now. Thanks for the puzzle/giveaway combo!
