…and this “untangle this mess” puzzle (even cooler). Some of these were minigames, like this Bejeweled thing above (which was admittedly cool)…
Mostly, the clues led me into different raids and zones, where I’d find puzzles to solve. There’s no way I know enough about this game to find a whole bunch of places based on vague clues. I’m sure this was great community bonding fun as everyone got together to try to suss these out, but as it is, I’m glad to benefit from their detective work. So this whole series - which is known as the “Lucid Nightmare” chain - is kicked off by a really cryptic note in Dalaran that has fortunately been figured out by the community (as well as subsequent notes). I kind of really dig these hidden quests in this and other games, particularly because (1) they put some real thought into them, (2) they take me to places I don’t normally go to in the game, and (3) they give me a sense of achievement when I finish them.īefore all that, of course, I had to put together a sleek black outfit as part of my BFA prep. After hearing that a Twitter friend was pursuing an odd goal of unlocking a rather difficult-to-acquire World of Warcraft mount that was part of a long series of secret puzzle-based quests, I decided to kill some time this week by seeing if I could do it too.
