Still working on anagrams. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on Forture Newfoundland .when you plug it into google you get alot of results for oak island as its about a days drive away.not sure if its anything just trying to explore more options. If we can figure out who we need assistance from and y it might make anagraming a bit easier.

If we can figure out who we need assistance from and y it might make anagraming a bit easier. Been working on anagrams for two days straight now and still haven't got a decent one. Have come close to some but cant make the final words. But a near miss is as good as a mile as they say. These are the words and ideas I was working on. ........BY THE AUTHOR ........BY THE AUTHOR FLAMEL FLAMELS GRAVE......... FLAMELS VAULT....... Will try a little bit more but I think the anagram idea is out of legs for the line You must travel through black flame

I still think that this is actually part of the second key, not a suggestion of where to go. I thought that I had the second key for sure, but apparently I don't...I'll give you all my complete thoughts.
I feel like this stanza suggests the mirror of Erised from Harry Potter:
1. Harry had to travel through black flame to get the final room in The Sorcerer's Stone/The Philosopher's Stone 2. The most important goal of Alchemy was to make the philosopher's stone. It was the best. 3. The stone was in the mirror.
I think that the suggestion is that we have to use a mirror cipher (atbash) or perhaps just reverse things (as the inscription upon the mirror was reversed) on whatever answer we got for our previous stanza. I was sure that our solution of Open Sesame was correct, but it appears not to be, as none of the possible capitalization schemes/spacing options of Emases Nepo or Lkvm Hvhznv seem to work......sigh.

I have also tried a variation with and without an exclamation point at the end/beginning and with and without a comma between the two words.

was disappointed but not surprised (it would have been far to easy for puzzle from Lukas) that the second key password was not Open Sesame, OpenSesame , open sesame, opensesame, etc.
I did try reversing the combinations (mirror of erised/desire) but no luck there either.
Then an idea came to me. Ali Baba used a magic password to open doors. In Hogwarts a lot of the doors and portraits are also protected by magic words.
What if stanza 6 is simply telling us we must use a magic password to open a door, and knowing that, stanza 7 tell us to get that password from a magic word to open a door in the Harry Potter books?
So I am currently going through the Harry Potter books, looking for passwords that open doors/portraits/other things
so here is a list of passwords I have tried. I also reversed them all (mirror of erised/desire)
I know I have not used all possible passwords, but I dont have all the Harry Potter books. If someone has all the books, and like the idea, then maybe they can post the ones I have missed.

The obvious unlocking spell from Harry Potter is Alohomora, but that didn't work either. Although I keep second guessing myself about if I've actually typed everything correctly since the key-checker uses typical password dots instead of plaintext......:/

> Then with your newfound knowledge > You must travel through black flame > The place where alchemy’s best is found > Will help you win this game I have no knowledge of the majority of this quest, newfound or otherwise. Could your black fire be the "black flame" with which Grindelwald tried to destroy Paris? I would assume "alchemy's best" is Nicolas Flamel, so the place where he is/was/(to be) found should be the key you need. Right? *my source where i found the references have also called it "blue fire" harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Nicolas_Flamel#Magical_abilities_and_skills

This stanza continues on from the previous one, I would assume that our "newfound knowledge" is whatever we got from that one (it's the stanza about the sudden fortune found while clearing trees).
I specifically think that we are supposed to mirror or reverse that solution particularly because of the reference to it with that line in this stanza. It seems to me like it is saying "Bring that answer to a mirror..."

I specifically think that we are supposed to mirror or reverse that solution particularly because of the reference to it with that line in this stanza. It seems to me like it is saying "Bring that answer to a mirror..." Thats what I initially thought I tried these, with no success Open Sesame open sesame OpenSesame opensesame emasesnepo emaseSnepO emases nepo emaseS nepO If its not Ali Baba being referenced in stanza 6, (even though it appears to be a perfect match), I cant see who else it could refer too. Which is why I suggested that maybe stanza 6 is simply telling us we must use a magic password to open a door, and knowing that, stanza 7 tells us to get that password from a magic word to open a door in the Harry Potter books. But as you can see from my lists, i think I have tried them all, certainly the ones I could find on the web. I'm hoping a Harry Potter fan or someone who has all the books see's a magic word that I have missed. The whole thing is very confusing, especially when you consider Nicolas Flamel was a real person and actually lived in Paris. I made a post about that earlier in the thread. In the mean time I have tried a whole new batch of passwords for the 2nd key, with no apparent success Fortuna Major

Before I remembered the Mirror of Erised had a reversed text on it, I was thinking we would use a mirror cipher on our previously found clue word...

Not a bas ide, Open Sesame using a mirror cipher becomes Lkvm Hvhznv As above did all forms (caps, no caps, spaces, no spaces) and then all these reversed Lkvm Hvhznv LkvmHvhznv lkvm hvhznv lkvmhvhznv vnzhvhmvkl vnzhvh mvkl vnzhvHmvkL vnzhvH mvkL unfortunately none of those worked either

Hi all. Just started getting into this last night. It's addicting.
I'm playing with Key#2. I'm with the thought that "needing help from a man" possibly references Matthew 13:44 in the bible and that we need to use that info on the periodic table of elements. "Traveling through black flame" may eludes to carbon to me. Maybe passing through carbon to elements 13 and 44?
