The final 2 lines suggest to just follow simple thinking, no need for magic. L'éternité is a Poem by Arthur Rimbaud 1 2 Start in Haguenau, the town at the "extremities" of the 3 towns listed on the Sentinels. In capitals refers to HAGUENAU. -How written on map |

FIRST STEP... By the ross and the coachman. |
How to travel, Game Measure & Game Direction (w,e,s,n) There is more debate about this clue than almost any other. However, Max said this clue give an "important thing" and many people believe this is the game measure of 33cm. The visual shows a compass. The perimeter is 33 cm, and Max was quick to confirm the diameter of 10.5cm when he was asked about this. |
By the ross and the coachman simply means travel by vehicle. By the compass and the foot means you will need to walk the final part. Ross is a normal word for "horse", alongside Pferd, in many parts of southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This is backed up by artwork showing horse and carriage, and a man walking. drive and then walk, |

This is the right path only if the arrow is aimed at the heart My first multiplies by gaiety. |
A RONCEVAUX A because the A is multiplied to form a sound like laughter "AhAhAh" |
I believe this is one of the "false trails in the riddles" A RONCEVAUX seems to refer to the war of 778, where "the Basques ambushed and totally wiped out the rear guard of the Frankish army", Not the "Heart", therefore it is a "false trail" A RONCEVAUX seems to also support this as the A in front suggests an event rather than a place. The artwork also shows a sword in the rock. (It looks a bit like a head) (At the Head or In the Foot, Not aimed at the Heart, The Mythical Battle, The wrong way,) |

This reveals 10 French towns used in decoding the next clue. Using A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7 H=8 I=9 J=10
This is the tune I came up with. Starts with putting Angers notes first, then others starting at Bourges,
all in reverse. I joined the multiple notes together. Some Madits from Max |
Drawing a line around the 10 towns reveals a shape that resembles the département of Saône-et-Loire (Département 71). This number is also the first 2 numbers on the artwork of 650. turn around the music circle, Clockwise, or maybe Anti-Clockwise, (wrong way) around the town circle road. (Bd de la Liberation) |

WHEN AL-MAR ALLIES TO PRAENESTE FIBULA, DARKNESS SHINE BDI,J. DF,F. CFD. BJ. HJ. EA,B. BC. E. DC,B. |
The key is on a black perched ship.
When we replace each atomic mass with the symbol of the corresponding chemical element, we find the mysterious phrase "The key is on a black perched ship." (FR "la clef se cache sur un navire noir perché") Probable meaning of "WHEN AL-MAR ALLIES TO PRAENESTE FIBULA, DARKNESS SHINE" Extra possible meanings WHEN AL-MAR ALLIES TO PRAENESTE FIBULA, DARKNESS SHINE I don't understand this except maybe "woman's broach" When AL-MAR, woman, seaward, joins PRAENESTE FIBULA, closure, cloak pin, fastening, hoax, fake, DARKNESS SHINE |
I believe The Key is: "Le plaisir est dans la recherche la récompense ést d'etre ici" Shown in Expedition Unknown. (original release 2019) English: The pleasure is in the search the reward is to be here The Black Perched Ship is "Chapelle St Leon" (Looks like it in the right light, viewed from Dabo) It is also the "becalmed Nave" Becalmed means no wind can affect it. Nave means ship, it also means part of a church. ("s" [South] is not used in the Solution, |

UT QUEANT LAXIS At 2424-42-424-44-224-24-42-24, borrows the orthogonal. |
This clue reveals the town of Carignan, and at 185km we arrive at Dabo. UT QUEANT LAXIS suggests the use of musical notes. The presence of 2424-42-424-44-224-24-42-24 in the text and a walrus in the visual suggest that we use Morse code. The French for walrus is ‘le morse.’ The music staff and clue title suggest we consider musical measures. In a music 2/4 measure, a long note is white and a 1/2 measure and a brief note is black and a 1/4 measure. So we use this concept and 2 = line and 4 = a point. This works! The decryption gives: CARIGNAN. This clue reveals the town of Carignan, and from there, at 560,606 measures we find a ‘Spiral with four centres.’ No one seems to know what this means, is it a feature on the map, or do we trace a spiral design? The Archimedean spiral possesses approached constructions by arcs of a circle, as the spiral with 4 centers (arcs of a circle are colored with the same color as the corresponding centers); this construction becomes widespread with any number of centers. Apparently Dabo had 4 "centers" in past history. |
The spiral is most likely the road up to the "Chapelle St Leon" on top of the hill. turning right and finding the "reliable certain position" (Rond point de landau - roundabout, it's a very short distance) |

FROM THE SKY COMES THE LIGHT C'E-10752-365 LA Q-30667-E THE AIGLE |
This clue reveals the town of Golfe Juan, and from there, at 0.0018 sec at speed of light we arrive at Dabo. Using: THIS IS WHERE THE EAGLE PRINTED THE MARK OF HIS CLAWS IN THE SABLE, ONE HUNDRED DAYS BEFORE BREAKING HIS BEAK AND LEAVING HIS FEATHERS. |
First part is well explained. Apollo goes to 650m altitude and shoots, but which direction? A "siderial day" is a rotation of the earth of 360deg. This suggests a circle. Apollo shoots from an altitude at 650m, guess what, it's "Chapelle St Leon" again. (You have to find an arrow at 650m height, where it hits land, travelling horizontally. Really, only the Pyrenees are at that altitude on that circle) 650m up "North"[maybe], 360 degrees, |

AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA When, at Carusburc, you will have Albion in the back, Look for the Opening that reveals the Heavenly Light. Do not wait, do not ask for your rest, But get ready to walk on the water. Twice, Neptune will come to your rescue And lead you away from the icy North. Pursue your way and do not interrupt your journey Before seeing through the opening, the becalmed Nave. Without deviating an inch, draw a line, and you will not regret what you did. |
This clue reveals the town of Cherbourg, Then through Bourges, we arrive at Dabo. AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA > "He Conquers Who Conquers Himself" |
PER ANGUSTA AD AUGUSTA is apparently a Latin proverb that says, "To high places by narrow roads" suggesting a road to a location? 8000 measures in following clue is about the distance from Dabo to Chapelle St Leon by the "narrow" road. 8000 measures, because it's not an exact measurement, everyone's speedo's are different. Somehow, possibly lost in translation, this clue points to Dabo and not Chapelle St Leon. More than likely the map does not reveal the spiral on the hill yet. We don't find that until we visit. The artwork shows the line missing the "spiral" Goldenowlhunt.com website calls it a "shell" on 560 page. (take the narrow road, |

WHEN ALL IS REVEALED Back to the Ponant, seek the Sentinels. |
From Dabo, we go to the lookout we need to examine. We find 3 towns listed, "Haguenau, Hochfeldon & Marmoutier" |
The road is very close to east from Dabo, heading to Chapelle St Leon. The sentinels are the Lookout distance markers at each end of the Chapelle St Leon. We need to examine them. It is that simple! Contrary to common belief, the "them" does not refer to the "sentinels" I think, something else depicted on the sentinels. 455km to Puy de Dome, it should be listed on the sentinels. The four centers will be listed on the sentinels also. Examination of the "Sentinels" shows 3 towns in France. These 3 towns are also very, very close to the lin in 560 "Without deviating an inch, draw a line, and you will not regret what you did." Haguenau, Hochfeldon & Marmoutier go 2.8km, to the small cross-road, a dirt road. |

Extras Max spoke of "false leads" There are only 2 puzzles for which you need an item from the previous puzzle. 650: Max made some suggestion that this clue and the next clue merge. SentinelsWhat is another word for Sentinel? 1, 2 sentry, guard, watch, lookout. (Google "What is another word for Sentinel?") They are engraved with letters and numbers, they are not shapeless or their layout is not arbitrary. I Said That We Met Them For The First Time In This Enigma, And That Their Number Has To Be Found By Decrypt In Another Enigma. That's All. Friendships -- Max All I Can Tell You (And Repeat) Is That If You Are In Front Of The First, You Can See The Others . I Can't Say Anything More, Sorry, Arthur. Friendships -- Max The Single Fact Of Having To Review Them Should Already Put A Chip In Your Ear! Friendships -- Max I Can Only Answer What I Already Said: Their Symbols On The Card Are Identical. Nothing More, Sorry. Friendships -- Max A few days ago I saw a Madit that Sentinels cannot be seen from 8000 measures. (Cannot see where I saw that yet) Supersolution & RemaindersThere Is No Remainder In "B" The remainders inevitably appear in the decryption which leads to the solutions of the enigmas. Yes, Each Remainder Is Used Only Once. Yes, It Is Better To Order These Elements Following The Order Given By The "B" (I Given An Explanation On This Subject 3 Or 4 Days Ago). Friendships -- Max When you have the "second card", the remainders are more obvious to appreciate. The remainders are undetectable enigma by enigma; there's no way to detect leftovers along the way. The remainders you will understand when you are at the end of the course. A synonym for "remainders" is "recoupment(s)", not "synthesis". Compared to a police investigation, the "synthesis" is what makes it possible to say "the guy is guilty", while the "cross-checking" is what makes it possible to say that this clue holds water or not.
