You all asked for another...here you go, Arcane Odyssey Riddle pt. 2

What i tried to say there, i was bored with my homework so i decided to just theorize

Whoops, i forgot to add proof for this part

Rick’s Ultimate Breakdown

part one

Previously, all my theories were trash. Like, reaaally trashy. Mostly because I was either bored or I was lacking information. But after learning the rights and wrongs of some theories, I managed to get information. And I’m betting that the information we have collected should be enough to solve it. So I will go through every possible scenario this riddle could give us. But that’s not even everything, I will also do my very best do debunk every theory.
Doing that however, is quite a task. So I will do it in parts. The first part(this part) will be a summary of the hints we’ve managed to collect thus far. While I will also share my personal point of view on this riddle, that way you will be able to understand my reasoning a little better.
After the first part, I’ll start debunking. The first theory is quite a popular one. Also @Pokemonisntfun 's favorite (I think?); The dove is the PK and the eagle is the AO MC.

Hints we’ve collected so far

For those who don’t know. There is a riddle, people have been trying to solve it, but they got stuck.


If you didn’t notice yet, would be stupid if you didn’t, the picture above is the riddle. And the Hints will now follow up. If you want proof of those hints just ask me and ill show you.

  1. The dove is the PK. This means that the eagle will most likely be someone or something aswel.
  2. The quote from Afsat Abiola is the PK’s motivation. With motivation I am talking about the reason of why the PK is going through all the trouble of defeating Durza. The quote from Sun Tzu most likely serves the same purpose.
  3. The sun you can see near the dove is a sunset. Sounds kinda like something is ending or disappearing. What could that mean? :thinking:
  4. Behind the storm clouds is a sunrise. Sounds kinda like something is starting or appearing. What could that mean? :thinking:

Then there are also many other hints Tech gave us. But those are mostly denials and we are looking for confirmation, not denial.
Then there are also some details that might be important to solve this riddle.

  • First we got the backgrounds. On one side a peaceful ocean and on the other side a rough storm. I honestly think that the stormcloud was just a filler because Tech overestimated us. So if the thunderclouds hold no value, then the ocean most likely doesnt either.
  • Beneath the riddle, Tech typed:

This could mean that we had only just begun trying to this riddle. But it also could point towards the sunrise hidden behind the clouds (could be a naruto village name lol). “The climb is high.” Meaning that you are at the base of a mountain, and got a journey going all the way to the mountain top. This “base of the mountain” symbolizes the sunrise behind the clouds.

My point of view

Everyone’s got their own point of view on the riddle, That’s the reason why we most of the time have different theories. Whats important is to share and accept those different point of views.
What I think is the way to finally solve this puzzle, is by figuring out the meaning behind the dusk and dawn. So we basically ask: What is ending? and What is beginning? But we’ll look more into this topic another time.
Now, when I look at the right side, all i see is opportunism. Bald Eagles are very well known as opportunistic feeders, they try to eat whatever they can get their hands on. It doesn’t matter if its a dead animal, a fish or a rat. The only thing that matters to them are the risks. They try to avoid all risks as much as possible. Sun Tzu’s quote, even there you can find opportunism. You choose your target, and you try to wait until the perfect time to strike, strike like a thunderbolt. Then, even thunderbolts are opportunistic. Because they always try to take the easiest way to go from point A to point B.
So, when breaking down theories, my main priority is to look at how well it could fit with the dusk and the dawn. Then the opportunism will be less important but still something I will try to look at.

As I stated above, in part two, I will break down the theory about the bald eagle being the AO character. A very interesting theory if I say so myself. Then there’s also the question: how many parts will I make? Even if i’d have to make 86 i still wouldn’t give up.

Have a good day.

didn’t read, gay/crimge, cope and seethe+dont care

from what I’ve seen (I’m not that committed to this riddle, so idk if this idea already got rejected but eh), could it mean…

The peace is ending, and the war is beginning?

I highly doubt that is the case. Mostly because the left side is about a someone, the peacekeeper, AA’s main character. And yes, he did defeat Durza. But that didnt exactly create peace, it created chaos across the whole world. So… there never was peace

My personal thoughts on the sunset is that it could represent the peacekeeper’s absence. The most notable moment of absence is after the fight of PK vs durza, where he is left unconscious for several months. And coincidentally is it in these months where we will play as the AO main character.
But thats a theory for another time.

I know people have tried but did tech say if it was durza hades or Zeus. Also I know I don’t know much about the riddle but could the “climb is high” mean the climb to mount olympus or something.

I feel like the riddles were just made for us to keep up busy until AO

At least we can prepare

Tech ignored almost all of the theories about these 3. Most likely because they were random guesses or those theories were way too vague and has bad reasoning.

Could be, but i got this feeling that if it is indeed mount olympus, then the only way to know for sure is to know more about the right side of the riddle.

I’ve read that eagles place their nests at high places. So the riddle could mean peackeeper’s motivation to reach the top of Mount Olympus to find anything nest like?

That wouldnt make any sense. Because on the left side (the peacekeepers side) is a sunset, meaning that something is ending.

Ultimate breakdown part two coming this weekend?!?!

Rick’s Ultimate Breakdown

part two

Welcome to part two of my ultimate breakdown. As stated in the previous part, I will be discussing a well known theory. In this theory I will also introduce a format that I will use for the majority of my theories. cough cough @techlevel80 could you confirm if my format is fine?

The format

For most of my theories I will make use of the format stated below. It’s basically just fill in the gaps. So I look at a theory and try to fill as many gaps as possible. I will give each gap a number. Some gaps also have rules. These rules will be noted with ( and ), they will give extra information about the gaps.

  1. The dove: (This gap has already been confirmed, and it is the Peacekeeper, meaning that if the peacekeeper is not in a theory, then the theory is most likely wrong.)
  2. The quote from Hafsat Abiola: (The meaning behind this quote has also been confirm. The quote is Theos’ motivation for being a peacekeeper, and the peacekeeper inherited his ninja way in arcane adventures. The quotes were most likely added to help us find the identity of the birds.)
  3. The sunset: (The sun we can see on the side of the dove is a sunset. It has been confirmed that this sun indicates something ending.)
  4. The sunrise: (You can’t see it but behind the storm clouds is a sunrise. Since the sunset indicates something ending, the sunrise could point towards something beginning. I honestly think that the sunset and the sunrise is the bridge between the dove and the eagle.)
  5. the quote from Sun Tzu: (We literally know nothing about this gap. But as I stated with the quote from Hafsat Abiola, it could’ve been placed there to learn more about the birds.)
  6. The bald eagle: (This is it, the holy grail! I believe that if we find out who’s the eagle, then we literally have the riddle solved. We can do that by finding out what is ending, what is beginning, and what it has to do with the quote from Sun Tzu.
    As we already know, The dove is an individual. So the eagle could be an individual aswel. However, the bald eagle is also the symbol of our worlds most influential and major country. So the eagle could also represent a nation, a kingdom, a people, or just something very powerful that was very major and influential cough cough mount olympus cough cough.)

Now, thats quite alot of information. But theres more! There are 2 points where we are not sure if they have any significant part in the riddle. It’s the calm sea we can see behind the dove and the wild thunderclouds behind the eagle. I will mostly ignore these points. But when I can use them, you could see them in my theories.

After this “fill in the gaps” stuff, I will do a conclusion and a reflection, explaining why this theory works and doesnt work and stuff like that.

The theory

In this theory we will assume that the eagle is the AO player. It’s a pretty interesting theory because it can fill in all the gaps. Despite that, it’s sadly not the theory that cuts it.

  1. The dove: This one is pretty obvious, it’s the PK.
  2. First quote: I dont even need to say this.
  3. Sunset: The PK’s adventure through the seven seas is ending. or just AA is ending.
  4. Sunrise: A new hero is rising! aka the AO player
  5. Second quote: A land filled with war is dangerous, some can only survive by striking on the right moment, at the right time, at the right place.
  6. The eagle: The AO player, because thats what this theory is about.

You can make many, many, many variations with this theory and im tired so im not gonna go in depth with all these variations (Kinda wish i did tho). What I see as the biggest problem in this theory is that there is not enough information to be sure that the bald eagle represents the AO player.

now ima go to sleep. I would like it if y’all gave me suggestions for theories to break down as I cant think of unlimited theories. And I’ll promise that the next theory will get a much better breakdown :flushed:

gn and have a gr8 day.

i feel like we´re either overanalysing or not overanalysing enough

tech said this is the easiest riddle of all. I think the biggest problem is that those who actually try are often overanalysing it. And those who arent overanalysing are often making wild guesses without reason

so its just something really basic? how has nobody solved it then

Here’s something really basic: AO mc kinda a sadist and makes plan to kill and take over powers of PK

I solved it.

Both the birds here are birds. What else is a bird? A blue jay. Blue jays are blue. What else is blue? The ocean. What is in the ocean? Trash. What else is trash? My skills at pvp. Who has my skills at pvp? Me.

This means that every NPC will be replaced by a PNG of my real life face.

Jokes aside my brain is too small to comprehend riddle help
