A content creator analyzes the code from the German MMORPG Tibia and finds that there is no solution for some of the biggest puzzles of the MMORPG.
Who is it about? The German MMORPG Tibia will soon be 30 years old. Yet, there are still puzzles that remain unsolved to this day. Quite a long time, considering that among the thousands of players who have tried to solve the puzzles, no one has succeeded so far.
A content creator from Brazil has now looked at the game’s code in a video on YouTube and checked how the puzzles could have been solved. However, his findings have caused outrage among the fans.
Here you can see how Tibia has changed:
Two of the biggest puzzles are said to be fake
What did the player find out? In the video, the player examines two major puzzles. The first concerns the starting location of Tibia, Rookgaard. There is the “Sword of Fury,” which is also called “Spike Sword.” It is located on an island, surrounded by fire that one would need to extinguish in order to obtain the sword.
For years, fans have tried to find out how to extinguish the magical fire. According to the content creator, however, this was never intended. According to his code review, there is no function in the code of Tibia that would transfer the sword into a player’s inventory. It is merely a decorative object.
What is the second puzzle? The second puzzle involves a door to the Minotaur Mage’s room. Since the release, players have been searching for the matching key to open the room.
According to the content creator, the developers did not assign a key to the door in the code. This means that there would be no matching key in the game to open the door.
How do the players react to this? The players find it sad that in almost 30 years, no solution has been implemented for the legendary puzzles of the MMORPG. According to them, the developers missed a great opportunity. They write in the comments on YouTube:
- @jcvader1404: “It’s a pity that they never did anything about it before Rookgaard became obsolete and was forgotten.”
- @eeka_droid: “Bro has shattered all hopes and dreams of Rookgaard with a single video.”
- @persoulrpg: “Cip [the developers] wasted a lot of potential by abandoning all these secrets, not just in Rookgaard. None of them ultimately developed into anything meaningful, although people spent years trying to solve them.”
- @nitogravelord8118: “As everyone knew: If the quest were solvable, it would have already been solved.”
Although the puzzles of Tibia will probably never be solvable, the developers have celebrated great success with the MMORPG, and it is still not over after almost 30 years. For its 29th birthday, there were even queues for the servers: A German MMORPG is so popular that players are afraid to log out, now a developer speaks out
