The Last Day - Chapter 3 [ENDED] [Edit: Solutions posted]

Interesting...

Bump for solved!

Stuck on p1.I think I understand the rules and found the 1st step of the solution, just trying to figure out how to convert it to an answer(I also have what probably should be used for this second step, just don't know how to apply it) Time to make a break and come back later with a fresh mind

bump for solved :))) real tough one

I think I got everything for part 2, but it does not work... hmm... need to refresh mind... (go to sleep).

Edit: Refreshed mind noticed that I did not count all... <censor> :D

Any hints on the format of the answer? I could solve the first part but have no idea how to translate it to an answer ITH would accept

I love this kind of puzzel and had it solved pretty fast. It was fun... but I have no idea what ITH want as an answer XD (part 1)

Bump for solved!

solved, DoggoBUMP!

DogOnSG, thanks. For the time spent on thinking :). For the giveaways :D. But also for providing an example of how to create a great self-explaining and entertaining puzzle!

Thanks for another great puzzle!

Bump for solved! Thanks for this amazing puzzle!

Bump for solved still need to read most of the texts to get the story together :)

Bump for solved!

Shameless auto-bump.
Still a few days time.

Bump for chapter 2 solved, will tackle the final part tomorrow

Bump!

Bump for solved!

Damn, I started too late, but... the last bump. Maybe someone is able to speedrun the puzzles :D

Hints you had are in italic.

• Puzzle 1
  It's a slitherlink, a puzzle format created by Nikoli (the same plublisher of sudoku). You can read Nikoli, slither, link in italic above the picture.
  To fill in the numbers you have to look at the four phrases below the picture. You can see zero, one, too (= two), free (= three) in italic there. Each phrase is about a different subject, in the order: Access Guards (orange robots) = 0's, security cameras = 1's, workers = 2's, crates = 3's.
  You can either solve the slitherlink yourself (sorry for my accent and mistakes, I very rarely speak English) making me happy, or you can use an autosolver and make me cry a little ;P
  If you open the picture in imgur, you'll notice it is actually a .mp4 video. Letters appear after a few secs.
  Once the slitherlink is solved, inside the loop, from left to right, top to bottom, you can read: you reach the axolotl first dog isn't in sight, which is the solution.
  italic

• Puzzle 2
  You have: this is an ORDER and ♌︎♎︎♋︎-♈︎♐︎ ♏︎♍︎♊︎♉︎
  Zodiac signs are usually ordered starting from Aries. So the order is: 5th 7th 4th - 1st 9th [spacebar] 8th 6th 3rd 2nd.
  Take the flags in the 1st picture following that order. The direction is shown by the little drawing below the symbols in the 2nd picture.
  They are NATO maritime signal flags.
  The code you get is: ICD-11 1F57

• Puzzle 3
  You're basically asked to name a disease.
  1F57 is the code for Toxoplasmosis in the latest International Classification of Deseases (ICD-11).
  You can just google ICD-11 1F57 to get the answer.
  it’s connected to puzzle 2

Additional hint:
there's no red herring fish species
A paragraph in part 2 of the story was separated from the rest of the text:

You don’t bother to answer. While picking up the manuals, you can't help yourself from reading their titles: “Axolotl s3000 Safety Manual”, “International Maritime Signal Flags”, “Marine VHF Radio Frequencies Tables”, “International Classification of Diseases”, and “Updated Taxonomy of Marine Fauna”. On the cover of the Taxonomy one, you see that there are five fish depicted, three of which are red herrings.

Meaning 3 out of the 5 manuals are red herrings. "International Maritime Signal Flags" is the one you need for Puzzle 2, "International Classification of Diseases" the one for Puzzle 3, the others are useless here.
