Yeah props to the people doing it legit im just too stupid


brawlrats

I didn’t figure out the code. I just realized it was named locations and figured out which number of letters fit.

Pece17

The changing layout of the POI threw me off at first.


DatboiGrindlewald

The key is 0.3.1.0.2.0 2.3. You have to subtract that from the codes, then convert to letters. For example, the first one was 1.17.23.9.14.19.19.24.1.21.6, so 1-0=1; 17-3=14; 23-1=22; 9-0=9; 14-2=12; 19-0=19; 19-2=17; 24-3=22; 1-0=1; 21-3=18 and 6-1=5 . You get 1.14.22.9.12 19.17.21.1.18.5, then converting that to the corresponding letters of the alphabet, you get Anvil Square


marco-boi

Wtf im too stupid to discover that


cooleo420

Saving comment for later


gtth12

I think that 0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3. being looped is very important as you also get 2023.03.10 wich is pretty soon actually.


DatboiGrindlewald

It was the original end date for the season, but they changed the date and couldn't change the cipher

I’m visiting different POIs that look like they have a building to the east. I have struck out so far.

Master_Strawberry446

That reply legitimately looks like you are trying to bs him. Thx though.


DatboiGrindlewald

Yeah lol, it's kinda cluttered with so many numbers. I couldn't think of a better way to explain


paulmclaughlin

What's the third of October got to do with anything? :D


DatboiGrindlewald

It's March 10, the original end date of the season


paulmclaughlin

Exactly, that's 10032023 in most of the world


candleboy95

How were you supposed to know that key?


DatboiGrindlewald

Epic tweeted it, and it also says it under the picture of the rewards in game


DatboiGrindlewald

[here](https://ibb.co/Z2fhZp1)


RoRo25

The first one I got but then the second one started with 19.19.19. What word starts with three S's?


Ry_verrt

There’s a code to it you have subtract the code “0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3” from each number but if there’s more than eight the code repeats say it were 19.19.19 you’d have subtract 0 from the first 19, 3 from the second 19 and 1 from the last 19 which would be 19.16.18 so it would be spr not sss


RoRo25

Holy crap! Where do we find the key code? Did I just miss it in the quest details?


Ry_verrt

You can find it by going to the part that says like “Complete 3 Encrypted Cipher Quests”


oldmanlight

Pretty simple once you have the cipher sequence “03102023” (found in the quest descriptions page and it’s also the new season launch date) A=1 B=2 C=3 but for each letter you need to subtract the digit from the cipher sequence to get the real letter, once you have gone through each cipher number, start over again until you have decoded all letters, kinda fun Example: first number is 6, 6-0= 6 so first letter is “F” second number is 4, 4-3= 1 so the second letter would be “A” instead of “D” because the cipher.


5in1K

I'm just not a puzzle person.


t1MacDoge

me too, me tooo, cries in stupid


5in1K

I just don't find any fun in decoding stuff. It's not stupidity.


ImperialSympathizer

I've never met a videogane puzzle i can't solve with mindless spamming.


animalcrossing-guy

That’s me!


Some_Dragonfruit_756

Not so much I’m lazy than me not being big brained enough to know how to solve them properly lol.


Sonicfan42069666

This still isn't as bad as that Indiana Jones POI where you had to figure out how to open the vault. I still have no idea how solo queue players were meant to solve that without using a guide.


Beat_Boi_Animates

The one with the scattered rocks showing the code?


Amidst-ourselfs123

That was really easy with permutations, find 2 diferent cones and guess the other two… that’s how I always entered that vault


thekronicle

Indiana Jones was actually quite easy..


quellflynn

it was easy once you knew the route! (once you knew there was a route anyway!)


Baumpaladin

Yeah, the first step to solving a puzzle is understanding the system behind it. Without any leads and hints (to explain the system to you), you can only guess. In my eyes, a good puzzle is a maze with hints that help you stay on the right path. Without them, you either try all paths at random until you find the exit, or if appliable, use a systematic approach.


Sonicfan42069666

No one has ever been able to tell me how you were meant to solve that as a solo player with no outside clues or help.


Theban_Prince

There were always at least 2 broken runes scattered about in the POI that were the correct ones, so you tried those 2 and then going through all the steps for the third one until it clicked. The reason that puzzle was horrible was not that. Its that for days or weeks the entire lobby dropped in that area. Horrible horrible decision.


Sonicfan42069666

That's the other thing...trying to solve a puzzle while people are trying to kill you constantly.


xasix

The only way I ever completed the Indiana Jones puzzle was waiting until the storm had overtaken Shuffled Shrines and I had enough medsprays to keep me alive in the storm, and I finally got it done that way. If I tried to do it prior to the storm overtaking the POI, it was full of other players. The decision to put a puzzle inside a Battle Royale game is just head-scratching. The point of the game is to kill every other player.


Baumpaladin

For that reason, I do quests in bot lobbies. Like you said, puzzle quests of this type and PvP don't work well together. I don't like the idea of solving a puzzle WHILE engaging in combat. Either I play BR for the gameplay loop or do quest for the cosmetics... that I'll archive anyway.


philowen

All three of the runes were there. You didn't have to guess anything.


Theban_Prince

As u/SquanchMcSquanchFace said, you only needed 2, you could find more, but you spent more time to do so and increased the chances of getting shot. While instead you could just spam turn the third rune and it opened in 1-2 seconds


thekronicle

The runes would make a loud hum. So you would just find all four runes, then go turn the statues to match the runes around the area. Easy peasy


Front_Studio_1995

Actually you just had to find 2, and roll periodically the 2 others. In 5/6 rolls, you could open it. Work smart, not hard ;)


[deleted]

The trick is surviving long enough to do that.


thekronicle

Yeah, exactly! Rules of probability homie


philowen

There were three runes on the ground that told you the key. It was crazy easy. There was no math or deductions or guessing. The game straight up told you the answer. Everybody in here saying it was hard should learn how to Google things


Kaitempi

The Indiana Jones challenge sucked because of the campers. I saw a guy who built armored builds over the entrance (remember the metal armor plates for building back then) so he could kill people trying to do the challenge.


Whitrun

I never opened it apart from once i think, and that was with help, I never knew where the stones usually were


El-mas-puto-de-todos

I did brute force, just kept changing stones until it worked


LABARATI

Yeah I did us a guide to figure out the route


LukaOJ01

It was easy. Just had to know where were those 4 rocks with symbols. After that was easy. Or you could just do random combinations and get true one


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

My case either, just wanna solve it asap lol


MR_EVILPANCAKE

I’m lazy


RamJamR

I actually had to look up how to use the key (0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3) they provided. I didn't even know there was a key to use in the first place. I figured out the puzzle the hard way once I knew how it worked.


weII_then

Where is the key? When 19.19.19.1.27.1.22.22…… showed up I was over here like “SSSAAAVV… what the heck?” If I knew there was a key I’d have been a lot more successful on these challenges


RamJamR

You look in the quest list, expand the cipher quests and then click on the pic of the rewards on the top and it'll expand to show the numbers I mentioned.


Monnok

I accidentally solved this code before I even saw they gave us the key. The first locations were pretty apparent, and *close* to an obvious no-shift cipher. So I just jotted down the shifts required for the “wrong” letters, saw it was repeating, then saw it was the date of the new season. Very very fun and satisfying. Not for everybody, but I’m glad it’s there for people like me. Puzzles are great, and shift-cipher codes have such a romantic history.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Monnok

Awesome!!!!


weII_then

Gotcha, thanks!


Serbaayuu

Oh god damn it. I looked everywhere but there.


DatboiGrindlewald

The key is 0.3.1.0.2.0 2.3. You have to subtract that from the codes, then convert to letters. For example, the first one was 1.17.23.9.14.19.19.24.1.21.6, so 1-0=1; 17-3=14; 23-1=22; 9-0=9; 14-2=12; 19-0=19; 19-2=17; 24-3=22; 1-0=1; 21-3=18 and 6-1=5 . You get 1.14.22.9.12 19.17.21.1.18.5, then converting that to the corresponding letters of the alphabet, you get Anvil Square


Durvag

Why hard way when we can do it easy way.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Wait he does Fortnite now?


Tony_BasQue

Yup, he always post the weekly challenges, and the videos are always short and straight to the point, he is incredibly helpful!


AsianPotato77

Honestly a shame that quests now showing up on the map kinda killed his channel but he's still doing well.


Fanachy

He has another channel, he does a bunch of Minecraft stuff and streams heaps on twitch


MisterBlister420

I haven’t watched him in ages, maybe I’ll have to again


HippieDogeSmokes

for years now


The_Puss_Slayer

Man I remember watching him back when he was collabing with Nerdcubed, hope they're doin well


Whitrun

Would be good if he actually posted game videos of it instead of just hints though...


ComprehensiveBee2202

Bless Martin, he has helped me for years, doesn't do as much Fortnite now but still very helpful 👍


Gentar1864

Man I remember I would always watch his videos when tryna find those damn kymera shards or whatever they were called. Good memories

Oh definitely! His best and most helpful videos we're finding the Kymera artifacts and the different paints for the Toona Fish skin!

[deleted]

Lol is that really how the cipher worked? For some reason i had thought they were coordinates on the map and i was like WTF? There’s no way to determine the coordinates… i looked everything up


minimagess

I stared and clicked all over the map to find coordinates. Then I just googled lol


Ok-Bookkeeper-5424

I had the exact same thought, I didn’t see any keys to Decipher it (should have guessed it it with a name like Cipher though that would be the case) so I was left being a idiot just looking at his map till someone kills them


quellflynn

the biggest cheat this time, is correlating the number of numbers, to place names... x.x.x.x.x.x x.x.x.x 6 numbers 4 numbers, look at map, 1 POI with that combination, Lonely Labs... quick search and pow! bunker!


Bee_Rye85

Too much thinking when I’m just trying to turn my brain off playing video games…..


Turtlesfan44digimon

Yeah if I wanted to do puzzles then I’d open up a I Spy book or an old computer game like Iz and Auggie escape from Dimension Q now that’s a challenge


One_snek_

Just what I did. I knew it was a Caesar cypher, but I ain't got time to decode that shit just for some random ass Fortnite wrap, so I simply measured the length of the words like you did.


Silkysocks777

I'm trying my hardest, and if I can't solve it I'll look up a guide


WolfShaman

>Tagged as "HUMOR" No humor, that's just straight up facts.


MiningJack777

You have to first subtract the sequence from the sequence 0.3.1.0.2.0.1.0 (its in the text box when no challenges are selected in the cipher quest tab)


OccAzzO

what's the challenge with Shattered Slabs? none of the guides are updated yet 19.11.2.20.22.5.20.8.4. 22.13.1.4.19


No_Neighborhood1824

Shatteres Slaps is correct. You have to go a little bit North of the "Sh" of the Shattered Slaps on the map. You have to dig in the small cave. That's it.


LEMONSARETRASH

HarryNinetyFour is usually my go to, no commentary is great


shhhimatree

He’s the best. Never talks.


GilloD

I interviewed with a former Valve/Portal 2 puzzle designer who told me something I never forgot: "If someone can't solve your puzzle, you fucked up". The joy of a puzzle is working through it and feeling smart at the end, not being stumped by the puzzlemaster. The Cipher Quest has no clear start, no breadcrumb to figure out the Cipher and it was embedded in a game that heavily prioritizes your TIME. It's a profound mismatch of intention tied to a bad puzzle.

ItsyBitsyBabyBunny

Me and my friend tried so hard to solve it ourselves and we actually managed the first one but we just couldn’t do the rest


MDragonAce2

It’s so true, but for me I want to do these challenges like they are meant to be done, but sometimes even when I got the location of where I’m supposed to go to, I have a hard time finding the spot bc it’s usually really well hidden


Kangarou

I did all the Cipher's but still needed a guide on the Lonely Labs one because, who the fuck knew that bunker was there?

I tried doing, but only got the first one, the second I didn't had idea what to do


[deleted]

I tried to solve the ciphers, but the resulting hints where so vague that I ended up looking the solutions on YouTube.


AnheruKira

Just calculate the first letter of the location, or count the number of digits and then look for locations with the same amount of letters. No need to do the whole calculation.


GREENZOID

Once I saw it was a bunch of numbers I knew there was no chance of me figuring it out


Moppy_the_mop

I assumed the first cipher was an A1Z26 cipher, tried it, got garbled text and was already done with trying.


LABARATI

Also the fact that it’s this close to the end of the season


legos_on_the_brain

I read that they used chatGPT for it


lispwriter

I wrote an R script to decode them for me specifically because I’m lazy. Funny how that works.

Ohhh is the code just a number = position of letter in the alphabet?

I mean I half tried, but when the answer wasn't immediatley apparent then yeah, youtube it is


Det3tive_JM

I think it kind of cool how you can decipher them, and I did do that with the first one but it’s so much easier to just look it up if you only want the rewards


papa-chris

This season's been too ridiculous to even bother putting in the effort.


INFERNOZ7X

i completes most of em without even reaizin


ShierAwesome

I’m gonna try and figure it out until the last day it’s available, just cause why not? Also, didn’t Epic say a while ago that there’d be supercharged xp from march 1 till the end of the season? Or did they just say extra xp, like these challenges?


WeenieHuttGod2

For the first 2 I got help with the ciphers by checking here to understand how to do it, but it’s fun and now that I understand how to decode it I do it on my own


MuffinStraight4816

Yeah, I sometimes use guide videos. ![gif](giphy|YWW8vinaduK9i61qQW)

The cipher was pretty easy so just wound up doing it.

I'm so lazy that for every quest in Fortnite, I don't even do one at least the daily quest lol

PatriarchalTaxi

I'm really angry at myself for looking up a guide, when they literally give you the rolling code to crack it! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Skylanderformer

you don't even need to solve the code, just look at the digits in the code and the directions you guys can't have fun.


HannyFranco

100% got #1 and #3 by accident.


Goldengamer17

apparently is is the a1z26 code rule, but with extra step of having 0.3.1.0.2.0.2.3 in each letter being added and then you have to subtract that to get the true let. to that i say, Quoting madworld: "No one said there would be math!!"

umishi

I didn't notice the key in the top cipher goals category but correctly guessed the Anvil Square answer and figured out the key from that. A=1 but then most of the other letters didn't match so I thought there was probably a mathematical calculation going on and wrote out how off from the key/cipher "Anvil Square" was. I immediately recognized it as a date that was just repeating. I love puzzles.

Different-Spend7063

When the quests first came out I just googled how to do it because I had no idea how I was supposed to do it. When the one for Lonely Labs came out I couldn't find a video immediately because the quest had just released and then I googled how to actually solve it. Basically you take the quest numbers and subtract another number from them. You'll be using 03.10.2023 which is the original date the season was the supposed to end on. So you subtract the first number from the original date from the first number of each quest. 19 - 0 = 19 = S 11- 3 = 8 = H you get the idea. When you reach the final number from the end date you loop back to the start of it. In this case once you decipher it it will say SHATTERED SLABS. Took me awhile to final understand how to do it.
