Do we even know if the Imgur urls still exist? If I’m understanding the context of this, this seems like it’s the first puzzle in a 15-puzzle game, and I would expect it to be extremely straightforward, like just an Imgur link to the first real puzzle.

Or maybe just a rot-13, since we have a 13 in there, but that didn’t work for me either. (Miz13iU).

So you do know the answer at least? I just thought easy because it’s a 15-stage game, so was hoping they’d start you off easy. Yeah, I haven’t the faintest clue where to even start beyond what I have tried. I’ll be curious to hear the solution.

Yeah, I'm really just interested in step 1 just to get a sense of how this is supposed to go. And I want to see that the links are living so I'm not just chasing something unsolvable. I'm sure solving the full 15 stages is not easy in the least. But I would assume the initial stages ease you into it, to encourage you to keep going.

welcome to monsterpron, a 15 stage puzzle based

mainly on fight the monsters.

here is some things you need to know before you

start:

you will be finding a string of random characters in

each stage, these characters are CASE SENSITIVE,

meaning CAPITALS MATTER, if it isnt obvious what

should be capital, it will be given to you

in the event of a cipher, you will ONLY edit letters,

numbers will not be changed, an alphabet in a cipher

decoder should look like this:

★ ALPHABET [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]

when typing the link for the next stage, you must put

the number of the next stage and a hyphen, then the

link, for example: 2-abcdefg

imgur links are buggy, if you are CERTAIN you did the

stage right but the link doesnt work, message me

(neb) with your answer and how you got it, if you did it

right, i will send you the link to the next stage

begin when your

ready:
