Nope. But yeah that's what I was thinking, it does look like a keeper portal, IF you shrunk it down to the size of a potato. Or, it's actually the perfect size to be the gravestone wisp from Revelations. Ive seen it twice now, on different playthroughs - always in that exact spot.

Theater mode wasn't helpful - glitchy mess won't even show proper effects if you fast forward - but I included it anyway.

You can see a short way in that when I get to the table the prompt says "Hold Sqr to take Zombie Shield". But I had the Goddard Apparatus on my back. It never let's you take a new shield of the same type until it's broken. So if I had held Sqr, I would have lost the Goddard Apparatus and regained the Rocket Shield. TLDR When I play, I lose the Goddard Apparatus unless I do what I showed in the video.

No Shadows is really bad about ee notification sounds. Also, sorry about my choice of words. I should have said, "no one has publicised this step as of now", instead of insinuating that no one knows about it.

Yeah it's not permanent till you do step two. Back when the map came out and it was discovered, people stopped looking 'cus they assumed they had finished the steps and everytime you wanted a new shield, you had to go bowling.

This may be more pertinent to Shadows of Evil, but the shield exists on more than one map, so.... Enjoy! Before you roll your eyes, I know that people already know how to obtain it. This explains how to go father and permanently upgrade it, and no one knows how to do that as of this posting.

I suppose. Personally, I'd rather Shadows got a buff to its weak as F "Specialist Weapon",the swords. Those things stop being useful around RND 30,imo. Compare them to DG spikes or skull of nan sapwe, lol swords are trash. Especially the Apothicon Sword, which I wish I could use longer. The L2 attack is an excellent panic button, but inevitably we have to trade it out for the Keeper Sword for rounds 30-45 to do any damage with it. I mean they're effing swords for chissakes /rant

Or make it so that chain traps are "trappers" instead of "killers". Like, the chains shoot out and stop a whole wall of charging zombies for a few seconds. That would make more sense to me.

Terrain-wise ZNS is my least favorite, but Gorod Krovi is my new least favorite in a global sense due to the underpowered (imo) wonder weapon. For that reason and for the easier trains, Shadows and Der Eisendrache are probably tied for my favorites.

He uses juxtaposition interchangeably with transposition. They mean the same thing. To him, anyway. Also you can't just run IAMGERSCH against the existing sequence. Notice how "r rh" = "I am" "r" will equal "I" only at first, and the next time "r" shows up it will equal something else, up to a limit and then reset. Same for each letter.

I have an older friend who was an army cryptologist during Desert Storm. He says it's a multiple-juxtaposition cipher, and it includes spaces and punc in the juxtaposition table so as to throw ppl off. I was just putting that there for posterity :D

My friends HATE playing on Shadows, so if I ever want/need to do the Easter Egg, this is how I roll: 1) Get in a chat party with 3 other people....they will be on standby while playing other games or summat 2) Start a "Private Game, Unranked" and enter it by yourself. Set your team to closed. 3) Play the map and do the steps all the way up to capturing the Shadowman. This can be done by Round 20-24 if you're not hurrying ( I NEVER HURRY. Hate hurrying) ........use the civil protector and the Apothicon Servant to solo the flag charging steps. This is very easy on solo, as they are short and have fewer meatballs. Ignore the shadowman. ........make sure to acquire an Immolation Liquidation gum somewhere during the 20 rounds / 2 hours you will be prepping. Your friends will need it when they join. 4) Once all four Archons are resurrected, it is time for your friends to join. Make sure you DO NOT interact with any of the Archons in the PaP room or start the Shadowman fight, as this will prohibit you from finishing the main EE. 5) Have your friends join. They will be grumpy and bullish, since no one likes playing on Shadows. You may need to use bribery, name-calling, and other tactics to get them to join and calm down. 6) Play the next round so they can buy Jugg and get some weapons with your Fire Sale Gum. 7) When ready, enter the Shadowman fight all together. The Host (you) must interact with the first archon and start the fight, or the Giant gateworm might not appear. 8) Kill shadowman. Use crawler gums or ray gun to coral zombies in front of PaP machine. 9) Giant gateworm YAAAAY
