Aquarian Runes *spoilers*
« on: December 08, 2007, 09:32:26 am »
Rightey, here's what I've worked out so far (from what I can reach in the demo - thankyou, PayPal  ::)) with respect to the Aquarian runes throughout the game. It's fun working it out, so don't refer to this unless you really don't want or intend to work it out yourself. My guide was thrown together in Paint, and has none of Derek's artistic flair :P, but you should be able to interpret inscriptions reasonably. The remaining undiscovered letters should be pretty obvious when they pop up as there are so few, but I'll update it when I come across them...

Ones I've found outside Mithalas:

Does
ABSOLUTION
Lie Above
The Waves?


Inside Mithalas:

As he creates
So will he destroy
Watching us from every shadow
He is The Abyss
Taken form to new waves (I may have translated this wrong, given that it makes little sense)
We must escape
         ... Sauguin

EteRnal
HeRitics

Beyond death we hide

---

RULE MITHALAS

---

FEAR THE LORD


In the cathedral's boss room:

You have failed me
Hunger will consume you
Feast on the flesh of your children
... What?

Gosh I feel noob...  How are guys working out these translations?  What are the first clues I should be noticing?

I started with the H O M E on her cave and got as far as you, KingAL. :) I love to decipher all these runes! :)

btw, in Mithalas is a place where "Save us" is written, so we have the V too. It looks like this.

A few more...

In the Song Cave near home:

"Creator" - On a statue

"Light will guide you" - On a wall

"For daughter" - On the same wall as the song to open the door

"The Fallen" - On a wall

"Here lies Erulia our mother" - On the door

"Spirit Remember" - Inside the Bind Cave


Inside the Energy Temple:

"Krel will pay
Betrayal"         - On a wall, in a cavern

And in the Cathedral a few times "Eternal life" and "heretic", "rest in peace" and "Religion", "World", "History" under the bookshelves.

Took you guys long enough.  It's been possible to get most of the alphabet since mid-June. :P

You should only need one canister shell to bag your deer using your howitzer, but assemble more than one if  you have a mind to.1

I don't really get why we should wanted the alphabet in mid-june. We have the game since 1-2 days, NOW it's interesting.

Damn this thread, I saw a big block of runes, so I wanted to know what they said, and it was a pain in the ass. 

From the entrance to the boss of the sun temple:

"Marui the architect
Within lie my final thoughts"

Inside the sun temple boss chamber:
"Kill me and kill our creator
The transformation is almost done
The pain is becoming unbearable
We believed in reason
For many years we worshiped Sun
The erulian histories are true
I have angered the creator"

In a corner of the Energy Temple (East) on a Pillar:
"Flesh is weak"

- The first real wisdom, I would say :P
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.

Hmm, are we counting text on the website? Because if so, the J is identified -- at least, I assume "N-A-I-??-A" would be a J.  ;)   Under "world">>Naija, between the text about the character and the voice actress.
