Oh god, we're becoming more meta and developing personalities now, aren't we?

Clearly the only option for Cain's Theme music is not actually mentioned. I think he needs more Old-Timey Skirt chasing music for his Theme.

Has it occurred to nobody...

Encryption method: There is a counter which starts at thirteen and is reset to that on a >. On a +> the counter increments by one, on a -> the counter decrements by one. If the counter is > 13 after changes (possibly greater than or equal to 13) then increment by the counter. Otherwise subtract by one. If this fails, run this again, but with the -> being increment the counter and +> being decrement. If both fail, combine the two results somehow. This is my best guess so far. Try it out, I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Proxxy: Turn around and view the fourth wall.

Only if it includes an electric triangle solo.

Get close to Polydectes,  prepare to whisper into his ears, do the iconic "SIX SINISTER SIBLINGS OF ORIC AWESOME" as he bends down to listen, skedaddle out of there, play Memor-E

-1, let's not get broomed. Also, still don't have the Memor+-E

[Solymr]

Go right?

[Egan_BW]

Tell Polydectes that the Voices in your head thank him for providing exposition on the Voices in your head.

Well then! So we know there were three Soul Stars made with the power to control the Warrens; Oric's gives him dominion over the Angels, Ciro's gives him the collective power of everyone who has ever died in the Warrens (a power that increases every cycle) and the third, unconfirmed Soul Star seems to be Al's, with the power over Illborn. Of course, if the Astral Influx truly gives its wielder the power of the combined memories of everyone who's ever died (seemingly confirmed by the times Ciro's gone all blue and glowy) it makes you wonder if there's some kind of power limiter in place by the OS to keep us from carrying memories between cycles.

I wonder if Yaos's memories are somewhere within us, or if the complete destruction of his Soul Star also completely destroyed his memories. Actually, we should ask about this.

This also explains why escape from the Warrens is impossible for us; we kinda are the Warrens.

Also I'm not sure if Proxxy is trolling us for not solving her puzzle, or if she was delivering that message under the influence of a third party (e.g The Last Seraphim.)

No one has ever had the Memor-E, suggesting that it is an item too intrinsic to have an inventory space (like clothing, it has no inventory space because then it could be removed.) It could be that the Memor-E was added to our collective spirit, and any PoV character can thus access it. I think it's worth a try.

First, though, Polydectes seems to have a wealth of forbidden knowledge of the Warrens, so as long as we have him here let's ask him some more questions.

"Do memories persist if a Soul Star is destroyed?"
If nonmeaningful answer, "What do you know about the void between dungeon levels and the lights within?"
If again nonmeaningful answer, +1 Cool Crab whereabouts
If again again nonmeaningful answer, +1 Memor-E
If Memor-E doesn't work, the only avenue for advancement is to Go Right from the Warp Room (Enter RD3[3,2])

[birdy51]

+1 To asking about the whereabouts of Cool Crab.

No? Maybe not. That encryption... there must be something we're missing... +1 for Memor-E.

So if the soul stars are consumed in order to bind the Last Seraphim, and holy is more effective against seraphim, does that mean that concentrating the power of many soul stars into a single holy one would be useful, and that the utility of one's own soul star would be extremely limited if one did not want it consumed?

Well, each star has SOME sort of utility. It's just less cycle breaking and more steam for Oric's Metaphorical Locomotive to create Illborn.

[RanDomino]

But wait, since TWOOTA has never been played before, doesn't that mean this is the first cycle?  And therefore the Astral Influx is powerless?

Proxxy: Suddenly remember that the Greens is out of power

+1 to remembering what Oric's soul star does. Metaphorical Locomotive could actually be a Star...
