Welcome to the train station a BUMP is always appreciated
for those who have taken their Mephisto's soulstone to the Hellforge and smashed it already, find your train ticket to board the train here
hope you can forgive my epic MS paint art skills... also did you like my misdirection with the random number in the text :D
Guess I'm the first one here! :D

I got a little thrown, as someone who has never played a Diablo, the hint about the shield had me looking at shield runewords as well as the runeword suggested... plus the runeword also being the name of a cipher also threw me. Great stuff

I wanted to use the Enigma Cipher but it didn't work with numbers... so I went with what I did... and then I didn't have any numbers >>
also what shield hint(need to know so I can try to stealthily clean it up).
I know I had the 3os MP(mageplate body armour) hint on the imgur description, poll options are just NPC dialogue, etc...

Ah, nvm then, it was a full on lack of understanding of diablo and misdirection from google. I thought the hint specifically said shield for some reason.

you did even better than me. i played d2 a decade ago and the key just dawned on me. i was wondering how jah and ber would make up a 7 letter word

Thank god it wasn't enigma. Would've taken days.

I stumbled on it being enigma, kept trying to force Jah Ith Ber into it

Did I miss something or did we have to find out it's Beaufort just by guessing or trial & error?
Comment has been collapsed.
that part was trial and error(its why I gave the hint that it uses a key), but a good chunk of ciphers don't utilize a key word in their encryption.
also on the image mouseover I recommended cryptii so you could easily just input the text and switch ciphers until you found the right one.

Ok, thought I might have missed it.

hey carenard, i didnt found Beaufort on cryptii tho (high chances that i just missed), i had to try other sites

its a variant
Comment has been collapsed.
man. i'm dumb XD
i wasted a really good time on vigenere cipher and didnt see that i could have change to another variant

Thanks for the train! Initially I thought it was an enigma cipher with a POTATO rotor position, like this:
P = 16
O = 15
T = 20
A = 1
T = 20
O = 15

That was a devious puzzle, but that just made solving it all the more satisfactory! As a relative newbie, I felt like I learned a lot from it which I can apply to other puzzles. Thanks for the puzzle and the GA train! :D

I found the cypher and the key quite fast, but I didn't read the decoded message correctly and thought it was incorrect and took me a while .xD

Literally impossible to solve

I have never played Diablo, but Google image search was able to make out your drawings, so they must not be that bad.

Thanks for the train.
I never played Diablo, but I managed to find out what the runes were thanks to Google Reverse Image Search, and then I found the key for the encrypted text in the wiki page for the runes. At first, I was confused because the one in the left looked like a weird Mannaz rune to me, and I couldn't really make out what the one in the right was supposed to be.

oh this game will 100% bring nightmares to my SO xD. too many times iv blown up a gas station in his face on fortnite and now a firefighting game? Thank you for the giveaways and the great puzzle.

Wow, i completely forgot about runewords, so I really struggled here !
But I got here at last, so I say this is a huge victory for lame puzzlesolvers like me :)

THANKS FOR SKYRIM I mean, thanks for the puzzle, very fun. I found this badass tool that helped a lot.
Comment has been collapsed.
aaaaahhhh, okay. I was using jahithber, not the actual name of what it would be in the mage plate. My helpful site was https://d2runewizard.com/bases/tors/Mage%20Plate which, based on Marvash's tool, feels convoluted. I did see it was called Enigma prior and thought that was a funny coincidence.

some fancy tools out there for newer players I see, neat seeing what people ended up using to solve this.
this(this one is definitely intended for more experienced players just wanting a reference guide)... its grown quite a bit since I last used it and attached
are about all I use when I play ladder... I mostly do randomizers now though... which can be hilariously busted... oh a level 5 unique... grants 6 auras, +5 all skills, etc... and go absurd with everything(player count beyond 8, monster density 10x+ normal, and so on).

I had to visit a bunch of different posts when looking up the answers to your clue and it's crazy how active D2 still is. There's still quite an active trading scene as well (of people looking for 3os paladin armor of course). I'm definitely rusty with my D2 knowledge and forgot about runewords and even what 3os is. I haven't played D2 probably since the early 2010s and D3 I probably haven't touched since 2018? I never went that hard witb D2 + LoD either so I got a bunch of "oh my god I remember that" along with "what in gods name are you guys talking about". Like that tool you linked is very daunting.

I was looking into Norse runes lol, I clearly have never ever played Diablo, so I basically used this website that sort of discover the word Enigma for me https://www.dcode.fr/beaufort-cipher

Was wondering why JahIthBer wasn't working as the key for a while, and felt pretty silly when I finally got it. 😄
Thanks for the cool puzzle and the train! :)
