The great puzzling in World of Warcraft continues. The mount “Riddler’s Mind Worm” keeps players on their toes!
Since the riddle about Kosumoth and the long-forgotten hippogriffs in World of Warcraft has been solved, fans are eager for a new challenge to tackle. Apparently, with Patch 7.2, such a riddle has made its way into the game, as players are going wild while scouring the entire game world.
The reason for the uproar is the mount “Riddler’s Mind Worm.” This mount is already present in the game data, and the name clearly indicates that it is related to a puzzle.
In response to players asking whether this mount is already available in the game, there was a clear answer: Yes, it can already be obtained.
And it was at that point that the Discord server surrounding the WoW puzzle suddenly became active and began scouring the game world – with initial successes.
The unlocking of the mount apparently occurs through a kind of scavenger hunt. All over the game world, small notes with cryptic clues have been hidden.
The first note with the clue is located in the central inn of Dalaran and provided the rather vague clue “… of sea, spirit, and self…” along with the fact that it is “Page 9.”
For a while, no one found a new clue, but then the breakthrough came from an unexpected source: “Page 9” referred to a real book, namely the Warcraft Chronicles! On page 9, there is an image of the cosmology of Azeroth, which again pointed to a portal to the Emerald Dream – the next note was located at the dream portal in the Duskwood.
Thus, players are slowly working their way through the clues, but an end is not yet in sight. The Discord server that deals with the “Secret Finding” in World of Warcraft has been abuzz ever since. Hundreds of players are gathering clues and ideas as they comb through the entire game world.
WoW developers troll the riddle solvers
The developers of WoW are also on Discord and are watching the whole thing with broad smiles. Jeremy Feasel, better known as “Muffinus” on Twitter, announced with a bit of irony:
“In memory of the Discord poster who suggested the image with the Emerald Dream and cosmology for page 9 – already on the first day at 2:30 AM and was completely ignored XD”
So far, the riddle has not been completely solved, but the team of the “Secret Finding Discord Server” is on the case – it’s only a matter of a few days or hours.
Update 4/12 10:25: The riddle has now been solved, and the first have caught the Mind Worm. Here is everything you need to know to get one too:
