The mighty wizard Xor can kiss my ass!

First I got to rescue a damsel in distress. Ten times over!
Of course, she demands her lost treasure be collected in full before she'll leave the dungeon. Little brat.
At least there was a dungeon key to a loot chamber after each rescue.

And now, after all this Xor tells me the final prize is hidden in a way that only he himself can fathom. He locked himself in with all dungeon keys and the nibbles form the loot chambers and he's "working on it"...

Jerk. I hope he knows what he's doing.

Need some help, please!
OK, we have Xor and he's a Wizard. 10 clones of Damsel. But who's the bugslayer/coinspicker? What's his name?? Why is he doing it??!!

You're right - we need to come up for a backstory for the protagonist - for now he just wants to win a video game ;)

Bump for solved. Xor is a jerk and he should stay in that room for a while and think about what he's done.

https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/KQ84H/melissa-k-and-the-heart-of-gold-collectors-edition Bruteforcing gave me this xD
P.S. Bruteforcing timed out, need to sleep. Thanks for the awesome 10 levels, something new and refreshing in 2024.

Hey Progressive777 - bruteforcing isn't likely to get you anywhere. Every successive XOR has the potential to flip any bits (well 7 out of 8, if we're stay in ASCII space). Much less effort to collect the darn keys and XOR everything :)
Happy new year!

Yeah, i thought first that 1 to 10 levels will be in order (4 digits per GA - first 2 giveaways - first letter in BG3 GA). So it gave me nothing (*,$ and etc). Only 4 digits from that code - then i tried bruteforcing in.
Then i tried to connect all 40 digits in diffirent space - and i figured that in BG3 giveaways all letters are capital and giveaway may include only this letters (Q,R, Z, T, Y, P, A, B, I, J, 2, 4, 8). And after that i bruteforce again every combination with additional letter (you can't connect them to be precise 5 giveaway letters - so this is my only option.
I just figured that i am not using proper site for 01 decoding - tried different sites - still nothing. So i gave up:) Sorry for my bad english. Probably doing it wrong or decoding wrong. I just don't know since it will be almost 10 years after my graduation and exams:)

Your thinking is correct. But XOR is not a 'letter' operation. It's a binary operation. If you want to XOR something it need not be a printable ASCII character. Any bit pattern will do. The 10 keys you're getting from completing the levels happen to be printable ASCII characters. The nibbles you collect for the final XOR are not.

Thanks for clarification, maybe double decoding will help then. I remember in school And and If/Or operations was fun, especially tasks:) This is just gave me frustration that i don't know what to do:) That i am too old and stupid.

Damn
I wish I had read this earlier.
I had 1 hour while my son was asleep to try to decide it... And i got exactly here.
I am just not sure what the nibbles are.

Decoded from binary to HEX, hex to ASCII - got 8 chr and don't know what to do with it:) I only know about jigidi and 2solve but it's nothing there:)

Anything you'll ever need to XOR will be 5-bytes - if you landed at 8, that means something upstream went wrong...

Yeah, probably doing it wrong or misunderstanding something. Anyway thanks for 10 levels of the game, it was fun and something new! Tired of steamgifts puzzles in general.

I know what I need to xor, I do not know what I need to xor it with.
Should I look for it on the minigame or on the giveaways?

Try a different browser or clearing browser history. Your browser probably saved a wrong URL from your frist try with different upper/lower case and then automaticaly overwrote your correct one and you circumvented that by changing the URL after the /.

Sorry about that - didn't include any touch controls - it's wasd or arrows on keyboard only. If you can force your browser to focus the canvas element and show you a keyboard for input you might have some (unpleasant but functional) luck.

PS: Puzzles may get better mobile support if SG ever becomes mobile friendly itself 😂

Going by his page a LOT. It looks like someone probably leaked the link or the answer. Or maybe there really are a lot of people good with encryption hanging around here. But 60+ is the answer.
