    Dark Souls

    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011

    A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.

    Huzzah! After an hour or two and a load of berating messages from From Software, taunting me every step of the way, I finished. Shortly after I received an email that gave me a random number and told me the following.

     Congratulations, great knight! You have proven yourself worthy by arranging the glyphs in the correct order.

    For your perseverance, you are awarded this Key that will unlock a well-earned advantage during your journey toward reclaiming your soul!

    @The_Laughing_Man: Yeah it's randomly generated.

     Tips:
    Glyphs are random each time.
    You get a few misclicks at first (up to 3), but eventually only one after you've found 7 or 10 glyphs.
    If you refresh the page before you guess incorrectly too many times, then you can keep the same glyph order puzzle.
    This lets you more or less go one at a time through process of elimination.

    @vestigial_man: Probably has gone too far, yeah.

    I've heard the keys might be limited, so best of luck to anyone going for it.

    I finally solved it, then looked at the clock and realized I put over 2 hours into this. I'm a glutton for puzzles. I would have spent an insane length of time trying to solve it if needed.

     "Cheating way to solve glyph puzzle (skip if you want to solve through trial and error):

    Using Chrome
    Go to developer tools
    Go to console tab type "mg" in console and press enter
    One object will show up, open object, open settings, open solveKeys
    Copy those keys to notepad
    Go to elements tab in tool
    Type gly-# in search
    Hover over element it selects - element will also be highlighted on the page
    Click that glyph on the page
    Repeat for all 30 keys

    You win first try.
    This can also be done in firefox if you have the firebug plugin, have fun."  hope this helps you guys as I was screwed over by the puzzle before I tried this.

    @benjaebe:  don't worry lol I solved it too but in order to get another code (my wife will play too) I cut to the chase and cheated.  Clearing a cache isn't in the spirit of Dark Souls and it's not fun.  My spirit of Dark Souls in stuck in the Nexus remember lol

    This is not much of an puzzle and more of a pure luck thing... I don't see any way of beating this other than cheating (refreshing before tries run out).

    Thank god for that. I messed up on the 20th glyph and it was getting real tedious.

    I don't get it. Are we supposed to "cheat" by refreshing? Otherwise it will take years, but even with refreshing it takes hours.

    yeah, same thing happened to me so I had to clear my browser cookies to be able to try it again, but by doing that it created another random combination of glyphs.. so I just used firebug to cheat and solve it already.

    You don't need to use Chrome to cheat the game. You can paste the following javascript into your address bar once the game loads, after the age verification:

    Just wanted to drop in and say I just noticed this glyph thing today, and louiedog's little javascript trick works wonders. They've actually since removed the solveKeys setting from mg.js, so this is really your only surefire way to get it done (and also the most convenient. Also, yes, codes are still being given out for whatever purpose. Thanks!
