Im new to this whole treasure hunt so i wanted to put my "findings" somewhere where maybe someone with more knowledge on the entirety of this can have better luck. When i first found the puzzle i got started on key number two given far less people were on it and were instead solving this puzzle in front to back order (a smart choice for them really). Now my main problem is im unaware of if it is necessary to use past pieces of the puzzle to get the second key. If it is, then ive thrown myself down a rabbit hole for no reason.
"To find the second key
You need assistance from a man
Whose fortune came as a surprise
While clearing wood upon the land
Then with your newfound knowledge
You must travel through black flame
The place where alchemy’s best is found"
It first had me thinking about Paul Bunyan, the only famous person i know of that had anything remotely to do with cutting down trees. But when that came up with nothing i tried good ol Honest Abe. We all know about him cuttin trees before he became who he was, i thought id give it a go. This is what ive got after much sifting through crap.
The first half i resolved as all hinting towards Abe, the second is where it got complicated. i haven't found out where or what the black flame is exactly but i feel i know the general area. Nobody knows something better than its creator right? so i found alchemy originated in Greco-Roman Egypt, but Abe never went there. However in 1858 Abe found himself in southern Illinois, known as Egypt or Little Egypt. where was he exactly? Jonesboro. Now this is where it becomes slightly less organized.
My research on what on earth the black flame is came up as, in the alchemy world and others, something kinda like your spirit? I wondered how this connected to abe and i feel it doesnt and has something more to do with a clue hinting at something on the map similar to the mini hunt #2. However there is a good amount of info online about abe and meditation and other spirit kind of stuff, i didnt dive deep into that.
What im searching for now is where alchemys best would be. The best in southern illinois? Or if even im supposed to be looking in the actual egypt and the tie between that and abe is southern Illinois rather then the other way around.
Now keep in mind this whole theory shatters if abe is taken out, or atleast most of it. He was just the first, second actually, person who came to my mind when thinking about people who cut trees before fame. This could all be crazy and reaching im not sure. Let me know what you think. For now, ill be hunting in google maps.
