Necromancy For Beginners was an [[ARG]] created by [[Chrono.gg]] and Game Detectives.
 +
== The Hints ==
 +
 +
 +
It started with a hint on the chrono.gg discord #secrets channel:
 +
 +
[[File:Frst hint.png]]
 +
<pre>
 +
Double, double toil and trouble;
 +
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
 +
Fillet of a fenny snake,
 +
In the caldron boil and bake;
 +
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
 +
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
 +
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
 +
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
 +
For a book of powerful deals,
 +
Like the blackest of Friday steals.
 +
 +
Double, double toil and trouble;
 +
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
 +
See the path with a westward gaze,
 +
Thus begins a challenge for days.</pre>
 +
 +
This is an edited excerpt from Macbeth.
 +
 +
People then realized that the next ARG had begun so started looking around for clues. Immediately a URL was noticed in the deal banner for the day's sale.

 +
 +
== The Puzzles ==
 +
 +
Once the link to [http://enigmastone.com/ EnigmaStone] was added, the players of the ARG were faced with three separate puzzles. Each time a puzzle is completed by a user, that user is rewarded with 4 random ingredients (It was originally 2 but was upped soon after the ARG's release). The rest were added at different intervals.

Necromancy For Beginners
Completed
Chrono Cauldron.png
Chrono.gg's second ARG. Involving potion brewing.
Type Unofficial
Creator Chrono.gg
Discovered 2017-11-24

Main Page > List of Investigations > Necromancy For Beginners Necromancy For Beginners was an ARG created by Chrono.gg and Game Detectives.

The Hints

It started with a hint on the chrono.gg discord #secrets channel:

Frst hint.png 

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a book of powerful deals,
Like the blackest of Friday steals.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
See the path with a westward gaze,
Thus begins a challenge for days.

This is an edited excerpt from Macbeth.

People then realized that the next ARG had begun so started looking around for clues. Immediately a URL was noticed in the deal banner for the day's sale.

Discarded Scrap of Paper

The Perilous Game

The gamblers play this perilous game,

A pair of dice between them

Wagers made to nick the main

Can undo a man or redeem him

Uranologist's Desk

You stumble into a small, abandoned hut, some distance from the Enigma Stone, and try to make sense of the papers lying on the desk therein. Uranologist.jpg

Wielding Wordplay

My first is a room, potentially great

My second, an airborne vertebrate

My whole is wielded against a knight

A spike and a blade resolve the fight

Chiseled Tree

The Enigma Stone looks different... you try to make sense of its newfound engravings.

Something Well-Tempered

A well-tempered object for well-crafted score

Dozens of quills that attack strings galore

Loudly or softly but no middle ground

Can still result in a beautiful sound

Defaced Drawing

A scrap of paper catches your eye. Upon it is an illustration which someone has scrawled over...

Runes.png

The Hellenic Alchemist

A flowing metal thought to heal

Transmutation tried with zeal

Search on for its compound name

“Water-silver” is the aim

Historian's Documents

Pages and pages of documents are scattered all around the Enigma Stone. How did they get here?

Historian.jpg

Recipe for Disaster

Fiery remnants left to cool,

Brimstone found in gold of fool,

Salt that grows on wasted stool,

These three form a potent fuel

Chiseled Grid

The Enigma Stone looks different, somehow...

Marble grid.png

The Leafless Tree

A dismal site, a leafless tree

A downward door to misery

Fallen here for all to see

In display of authority

The End

At 03:22AM UTC on the 27th of November 2017, 2 days, 10 hours and 22 minutes after the ARG began, the final rune on the tome was completed. We were then shown a countdown until the next day's sale and opening of the tome.

Once the countdown was over, Chrono.gg's black Friday deal was revealed.
