Magical runes are for dummies?
I'm going straight to the point, i have no idea in magical runes that can open portals. Take the mission "Poisoned River" quest for example, i think it will be impossible for me to finish this quest without me looking at the wiki quest guide.
Now is there anyone here who is able to finish this quest without using wiki? If so please i would love you to reply here with your knowledge of magical runes. I would love to learn more about them because i know there will be more riddle involving them in future quests.

Also, wiki editors have to solve puzzle(s) before they can make wiki article(s). All wiki is community made.

Also i think its appropriate to put this in here since its somewhat relevant, but Poisoned River quest usually don't give exp after talking to Captain Demetrius? Besides the 2 awesome reward? I just talked to him but no exp was given.

SpoilerIt helps if you treat the symbols as arbitrary, than go from there.
Four symbols, call them A, B, C, D.
Teleportation room needs 3 unique symbols. Flip over all four and than unflip one of the four till the room unlocks. Presto you now know the symbol NOT part the teleportation room.
Security room requires 2 unique symbols, one of which is the one NOT used for the Teleportation room. So you really need at most three guesses to figure out which one. Now you know two symbols.
Storage requires 3 symbols, one of them twice. Two of them are known from the security room so it's really a simple either or guess between the two remaining symbols of which one is twice. Now, you know 3 of the symbols, making the fourth one known by process of elimination.
River room requires 3 symbols, two of them twice but by now you know all the symbols so just flip and go.

Reviews for "Unraveling the Mysteries of the Witch House in HP Lovecraft's Universe"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - The HP Lovecraft Witch House was a total disappointment for me. I was expecting a thrilling and chilling horror experience, but instead, I found it to be slow-paced and lacked any sense of suspense or fear. The writing style was also quite dated and difficult to connect with. Overall, I found the storyline to be weak and predictable, with shallow character development. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to the hype and left me feeling unsatisfied.
2. John - 1 star - I cannot express how much I disliked the HP Lovecraft Witch House. The plot was convoluted, confusing, and difficult to follow. The excessive amount of unnecessary descriptions and long-winded sentences made it a chore to get through. The characters were flat and lacked depth, making it difficult to care about their fates. Additionally, the supposed horror elements were underwhelming and failed to evoke any genuine fear or suspense. Overall, I found the book to be a tedious and unenjoyable read.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the HP Lovecraft Witch House, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The writing style was overly verbose and took away from the actual plot, which itself was uninspiring and lacked originality. The characters felt more like caricatures than individuals, and their interactions felt forced and unconvincing. The pacing was slow, and I found myself struggling to maintain interest throughout the book. All in all, I was left disappointed and would not recommend it to others.
