Void Within Final Prizes + Epilogue is Live!

UPDATE ~12:05 AM NST: Riddle 1 is solved! Visit the Lunar Temple and then the Bubbling Pit. Note: The phrasing of this riddle indicates it may be time sensitive. We have confirmed it was available from at least 12:00:00 AM - 12:00:59 AM NST.
UPDATE June 18th: It appears this may now be available the entire hour from 12:00:00 AM - 12:59:59 AM NST.

UPDATE ~12:24 AM NST: Riddle 3 is solved....sort of?! First, you must fish with your pet(s) at the Fishing Vortex. We haven't quite narrowed down the specifics more than this—it's not clear if you need to use multiple pets, fish up a fixed number of items, or do the activity across multiple days. The riddle does mention something about the number 3, though! Once the pop-up triggers at the Vortex, claim the string by visiting the Mysterious Negg Cave

UPDATE ~4:09 PM NST, June 17th: Today's Release Notes mention that TNT has patched a "bug" with riddle #3. This could be why we haven't been able to determine a consistent method for solving it! If you successfully triggered the pop-up after around 1 PM NST on June 17th, let us know what worked for you!


As of 10:00 AM NST, the Void Within plot has officially come to a close. If you visit the main hub page you will be told your final score. There are additional bonus items available (they are also doubled if you are premium).

  • If you participated in every chapter of the plot, you will be awarded a Void Paint Brush
  • If you completed all achievements, you will be awarded a Void Quantum Blaster
  • If you completed less than 100% of the achievements, you will may instead be awarded a Void Kadoatie. We're currently still gathering information on the threshold for this.



But wait, there's more! The plot's epilogue is now live, along with two additional pages to the end of chapter 18! And it's not just reading a comic. After some dialogue in the epilogue, you'll be presented with a tarot game similar to the reading Orion did in the Festival of Neggs when he was first introduced. This is a similar game to Tyranu Evavu, where you have to guess if the next card is higher or lower than your present one. To complete a game, you must guess correctly three times in a row. You must complete 4 games successfully to reveal 4 riddles. Note that there is an additional step to claim the string once you solve a riddle.

  • Riddle #1 can be solved by visiting the Lunar Temple. Then, claim the string by then visiting the Bubbling Pit. Note: The phrasing of this riddle indicates it may be time sensitive. We have confirmed it was available from at least 12:00:00 AM - 12:00:59 AM NST.
  • Riddle #2 can be solved by sending a score of 1000 or more in Destruct-o-Match III (the html5 version). Then, claim the string by visiting the Magma Pool
  • Riddle 3 is still a work in progress! What we know so far is that first, you must fish with your pet(s) at the Fishing Vortex. We haven't quite narrowed down the specifics more than this—it's not clear if you need to use multiple pets, fish up a fixed number of items, or do the activity across multiple days. The riddle does mention something about the number 3, though! Once the pop-up triggers at the Vortex, claim the string by visiting the Mysterious Negg Cave
  • Riddle #4 can be solved by having at least 4 unique items in your inventory that have the word 'space' in their names. You must view your inventory first to trigger the pop-up. Then, claim the string by visiting the Kreludan Mining Corp

After successfully solving and claiming the strings for all 4 riddles, revisit Orion where he will regale you with a new tale of his lyre. Then, visit the Lair of the Beast, and climb to the top. When the beast animation begins to play, you will notice an image of Orion's lyre appear on the screen. Click it, after which it will disappear and re-appear elsewhere. Continue clicking it (a total of 5 times) until a pop-up appears, awarding you a prize and a fancy new avatar!

If you do not click the lyre fast enough, before the beast animation finishes, you will enter a cooldown window and a 24-hour timer will appear, counting down until you can try again.


Once you've successfully claimed your prize and avatar, you can return to the Epilogue where you will find some additional pages to read, and prizes to earn, to officially conclude the plot.



Additionally, it seems new Petpet Puddle Quests, allowing you to paint Petpets, are now live at the Rainbow Pool, which itself has been updated to the new layout. Ozzy's quests appear to have been added to the random Faerie Quest pool, and a new fortune cookie has been added to give you a heightened chance at them. Ozzy's quests allow you to paint a non-zapped petpet any regular colour (lab exclusive colours like Chocolate are not available).

Baelia's quests have been updated to Iridesia's quests, and they can also now award you a free use Ozzy's Petpet Puddle.



Premium users will now find that the Void Dome has been added to the Battledome, with the Void Wyrm, Voidling, Void Prowler, and Void Blighthound added seemingly as permanent challengers.



Finally, as a reminder there are some upcoming changes to the prize shop:

First: these Battledome items will be removed "after a 2 week grace period following the end of the plot."

Second: all "collectibles (stamps, charms, etc.), morphing potions, and paint brushes that aren't new plot items" will be changed to limit 1. The FAQ does not name specific items.

There are 858 comments below. Add yours!

"If you participated in every chapter of the plot, you will be awarded a Void Paint Brush" Did not get one, definitely participated all the way through. Perhaps it's meant for doing it on release week?
by tyuio_k50 on June 16, 2026 10:22 AM NST
@tyuio_k50

I missed the first week (and as a result didn't get the battledome weapon RIP) but still got the Paint Brush. So that's definitely not the determining factor, sadly.
by theopossumguy on June 16, 2026 10:25 AM NST
I know I did all the chapters as well. Did not get the PB either. Just a pop up showing my trophy.
by dracyoola on June 16, 2026 10:26 AM NST
#4 refresh your inventory after getting the riddle
by artistgirl_2006 on June 16, 2026 10:26 AM NST
Check your inventory. I didn't get a pop up at all, no notice from visiting the hub, but I found 2 Void Paint Brushes and two Void Quantum Blasters in my inventory (premium).
by kirin on June 16, 2026 10:28 AM NST
Saved a Grey Faerie quest (Hopso) to see if it would change today:

You are currently on a quest for Iridesia. Return to Faerieland when you've found what's required.

https://images.neopets.com/faerieland/quests/faeries/rainbow-faerie-1-2.png

Still don't have what I was looking for? That's okay, no need to feel blue. I know you'll work hard to find it when you have the energy; no need to push yourself until then.

You are currently on a quest for Iridesia. Return to Faerieland when you've found what's required.

Thank you, kind Neopian. It has me tickled pink that you worked so hard to get this for me. I truly appreciate all your effort.

Button is 'Give them the item'

Your true colours have really shown through today. I won't forget your kind deed.

I don't yet have enough control over my new powers to choose how to repay you, but I'll do my best to grant you something good!
Oh? It is a strange feeling to have conjured Light Faerie magic once more. It's nice, though. Feels as much a part of me as the other magic. Please, take this as a show of my gratitude!

Qahb's has gone up a level!
by rawbeee on June 16, 2026 10:29 AM NST
I missed a few chapters in the middle of the plot, before the hiatus, and didn't get the paint brushes. So it's probably for doing all chapters.
by sakaarson on June 16, 2026 10:29 AM NST
Yeah, didn't get any PB. Possible I missed something when I thought I didn't. At least now they're down to 9mil on the TP - that's WAY better than the inflated 70 mil people were asking for lol. I'll wait a little for the prices to drop a bit more and snag a couple.
by dracyoola on June 16, 2026 10:32 AM NST
I got all four of the Arcana riddles, but the Next button to advance to the next chapter is still greyed out.
by kirin on June 16, 2026 10:33 AM NST
one of the riddles is to send a score of exactly 1000 points in destruct o match
by 1_doglefox on June 16, 2026 10:38 AM NST
https://www.neopets.com/quest_help.phtml
^ Also updated with info about Iridesia, the Rainbow Faerie
by rawbeee on June 16, 2026 10:38 AM NST
also cannot click on next. hopefully it will be fixed soon. i'd like to see what we'll get at the end of the epilogue (also can't wait for more pets to be painted void, but keeping the pb for the time being)
by shadowfrost on June 16, 2026 10:38 AM NST
Ahh, need to actually solve the riddles. lol
by kirin on June 16, 2026 10:39 AM NST
Yeah, I had a feeling these riddles had to be solved...... but aside of being In the void within as to how to guess them what do you mean one of them requires to submit a 1000 score In Destruct-o-match
by maninshi on June 16, 2026 10:41 AM NST
Score does not need to be exact 1000, I'd think over 1000 tho? I sent 1001
by ducky on June 16, 2026 10:44 AM NST
i'm glad TNT included them in the questing rawbeee!
by academy on June 16, 2026 10:45 AM NST
Once you finish destructo-match, go here and that #2 will be complete: https://www.neopets.com/magma/pool.phtml
by sasquatch253 on June 16, 2026 10:45 AM NST

by sasquatch253 on June 16, 2026 10:45 AM NST
For Earning (Almost) Every Fearless Deed, you've received:
Void Kadoatie

Void Kadoatie
by itsfinchie on June 16, 2026 10:48 AM NST
LOL, I just tried to send a 1,000 point score on Destruct-O-Match II and it gave me a "can't send score in offline mode" error. Crying out loud.
by sakaarson on June 16, 2026 10:51 AM NST
Visiting the Magma Pool is part of the first clue but it puts the Seismic Waves under Riddle #2 in the story
by cabar20 on June 16, 2026 10:53 AM NST
@ 1_doglefox and @sasquatch253 are correct for the Seismic String!
by lumanare on June 16, 2026 10:54 AM NST
I think #3 is spinning the Wheel of Monotony 3 times!!!
by redbearpossum on June 16, 2026 10:55 AM NST
Anyone else getting AI-generated vibes from these clues? Just me?
by apophis324 on June 16, 2026 10:55 AM NST
@sakaarson i got the same issue! had it at manually ending at 1000 points and then just playing until game over with over 1000 points
by shadowfrost on June 16, 2026 10:56 AM NST
confirming that one of the riddles is to send a score of 1000 in destructo match!
by emocarrot on June 16, 2026 11:00 AM NST
woooow I got literally every fearless dead except lost in the dark one so I missed out on the blaster
by keighty7 on June 16, 2026 11:01 AM NST
1000? I suck at Destructomatch. Can't get to 1000. Close but never there. I'm so burnt out from this event that I don't even care for the epilogue anymore
by dracyoola on June 16, 2026 11:01 AM NST
Any Idea why sending score In Destruct-o-Match gives us a "can't send score in offline mode" error?

I do see my score submissions Increased and am left with one more submission. I don't get It. Tyrannian culture maybe?
by maninshi on June 16, 2026 11:01 AM NST
@shadowfrost The first time I manually ended the game at 1,000. The next time, I got a game over and still got the message. D:
by sakaarson on June 16, 2026 11:02 AM NST
#4 is having 4 items with 'space' on inventory and go to kreludor's mining corp
by drougy on June 16, 2026 11:02 AM NST
You don't need an exact score of 1000. Any score over 1000 will do, I'm sure. I got like.. 1068 and it was okay.
by apophis324 on June 16, 2026 11:04 AM NST
@sakaarson other games work for some reason. i think i'll just give it another try tomorrow. i've never had that happen before and it only seems to happen to some people for some reason hopefully it will be fixed soon
by shadowfrost on June 16, 2026 11:04 AM NST
@drougy this is not it. At least not completely because I'm not getting anything
by wahammy on June 16, 2026 11:05 AM NST
You have to go to inventory first THEN the mining corp
by wahammy on June 16, 2026 11:05 AM NST
@drougy 's right for the most part. gotta view inventory first before that!
by lumanare on June 16, 2026 11:06 AM NST
For #4, have four items with "space" in the title in your inventory, refresh, get the next clue, then go here: https://www.neopets.com/moon/mining.phtml. That knocks #4 out.
by sasquatch253 on June 16, 2026 11:06 AM NST
You need to go to your inventory and have 4 different space items ONLY in it.

THEN go to the Mining Corp.
by afoolishfigment on June 16, 2026 11:07 AM NST
#1 feels like something to do with the lunar temple
by keighty7 on June 16, 2026 11:08 AM NST
I wonder is 3 is linked to fishing
by daughters_ofthe_moon on June 16, 2026 11:09 AM NST
I had other items as well as the 4 space, it doesn't have to be only space items
by daughters_ofthe_moon on June 16, 2026 11:10 AM NST
@redbearpossum I was actually thinking reeling something in from the fishing vortex three days in a row
by pstrb2 on June 16, 2026 11:10 AM NST
@afoolishfigment you can definitely have other items in your inventory besides the space items, you just have to visit your inventory first
by crowvenge on June 16, 2026 11:10 AM NST
Well…. This is a terrible time for people who don’t know how to read Roman numerals (me).
by jbecks on June 16, 2026 11:12 AM NST
#1 Also seems a bit like the Astronomy tower, because of the reference to Waves, in the WALLS of Altador. [Just a thought, haven't found anything yet]
by afoolishfigment on June 16, 2026 11:13 AM NST
#4 worked for me having 4 items with "space" in their names in my inventory.
by jjotterbear on June 16, 2026 11:13 AM NST
They're 2 step riddles after #2 go to the magma pools and #4 go to the mining corp
by nothingbutlovehere on June 16, 2026 11:16 AM NST
"Additionally, it seems new Petpet Puddle Quests, allowing you to paint Petpets, are now live at the Rainbow Pool, [...] Ozzy's quests allow you to paint a non-zapped petpet any regular colour (lab exclusive colours like Chocolate are not available)"

Ah, so they're pointless then. Chocolate pets will just never have a matching petpet I guess.
by gazzletron on June 16, 2026 11:18 AM NST
I thought this plot was over? I thought we were finally free.

Welp, here I go again...
*puts clown make up on*
by pirate on June 16, 2026 11:20 AM NST
Odd, I missed only the "Lucky Guess" achievement and didn't get a Void Kad.
by oafk on June 16, 2026 11:21 AM NST
I joined 9 months ago and could do everything except "join in the first week" and the "partake in a site event" since they didnt let you earn it in any events after act 1 it seems. No bonus items for me Sadge
by wahammy on June 16, 2026 11:24 AM NST
for #2 you have to score of 1000 or more in Destruct-o-Match III (the html5 version), then visit the magma pools to receive 1 string and a book.
by arctictale on June 16, 2026 11:25 AM NST
"If you completed less than 100% of the achievements, you will instead be awarded a Void Kadoatie. We're currently still gathering information on the threshold for this."

this is not true, i missed 1 deed and did not get any prize other than the pb
by witcher on June 16, 2026 11:26 AM NST
Play Destruct-o-Match III here (next to Battledome and Faerie Bubbles) https://www.neopets.com/games/

NOT this one https://www.neopets.com/games/game.phtml?game_id=999
by action_jackson3000 on June 16, 2026 11:27 AM NST
So annoying that scores aren't sending on Destructo Match!!
by neolodgeism on June 16, 2026 11:29 AM NST
I feel like #1 has to do with Shenkuu Lunar Temple.

The moon and the tide.
Honorable Spire.

Maybe refresh at a certain time?
by wahammy on June 16, 2026 11:29 AM NST
I already tried fishing succesfully with three different pets, and nothing happened
by pangomon on June 16, 2026 11:30 AM NST
I was able to send my destruct-o-match score in the html version on zen mode (for those of us that can't get very far in classic)
by luminescencethe on June 16, 2026 11:32 AM NST
Weird, the Deluxe Quest Fortune Cookie description says "Tooth Faerie" although they are not the quest giving type. Part of me is hyped that there is new stuff, part of me thinks "ehh bad typo will probably be fixed and forgotten about"
by spotter001 on June 16, 2026 11:33 AM NST
I think #1 has something to do with the Meteor Crash Site (daily, can play once an hour). And then maybe the lunar temple afterwards.
by jbecks on June 16, 2026 11:34 AM NST
"If you completed less than 100% of the achievements, you will instead be awarded a Void Kadoatie. We're currently still gathering information on the threshold for this."

im the same as @witcher
i completed all achievements but Rift Rewarder and only received the brush. Once i completed the Rift Rewarder I received the blaster. Never the kad though
by kacheekieweekie on June 16, 2026 11:36 AM NST
Really was excited that they made a petpet painting function…just to be incredibly disappointed that it doesn’t include lab exclusives. Hope they change it if there enough feedback about it
by specialkk77 on June 16, 2026 11:36 AM NST
i received the kad and my only missing deed was the very first one (join in first week)
by itsfinchie on June 16, 2026 11:37 AM NST
@spotter001 guess it's another addition

by rawbeee on June 16, 2026 11:37 AM NST
@jbecks or maybe the Symol hole since it's a bit more time specific?
by cabar20 on June 16, 2026 11:38 AM NST
Is #3 about Grave Danger? Or maybe the Moltara Worm quest?
by jbecks on June 16, 2026 11:39 AM NST
I didn't get any prizes, no paint brush, no kadoatie, no blaster I did all of the fearless deeds except act 1
by walter_the_walrus on June 16, 2026 11:39 AM NST
100% on everything but I can;t get the Void Kadoatie seems ...... wrong?
by sithra on June 16, 2026 11:40 AM NST
For 3, I tried doing three esophagor quests. [ "To capture the breath .... wits' end. Only those who can stare into the depths ... must lure in a success times three." I dunno Breathe - esophas, him beeng a deep pit... that was my reasoning] and that DID NOT work.
by afoolishfigment on June 16, 2026 11:40 AM NST
@afoolishfigment ooh really good guess though!
by cabar20 on June 16, 2026 11:40 AM NST
@cabar20 I was thinking Symol Hole too! Whatever it is, it’s time based.
by jbecks on June 16, 2026 11:40 AM NST
That's strange, I only failed to get 2 plot achievements:
Lucky Guess and Villain-rush, and I didn't receive the Void Kadoatie. And honestly, I'm terrible at Destruct-o-Match III, I always lose with around 900 points. How can anyone get a higher score in that?
by gabistar on June 16, 2026 11:45 AM NST
@gabistar zen mode!
by luminescencethe on June 16, 2026 11:46 AM NST
Got the PB, but not the Void Kadoatie.
by sir_chicken on June 16, 2026 11:46 AM NST
I hit all achievements but the attack on altador game one’s. Couldn’t be bothered. I just got the PB.
by oh2co on June 16, 2026 11:47 AM NST
I've scored a few Destruct-o-Match games over 1K and it keeps saying "Score Submission Failed"
by kirin on June 16, 2026 11:49 AM NST
I am thinking Dubloon Disaster for Clue 1, but I'm terrible at that game
by kbk823 on June 16, 2026 11:51 AM NST
I wonder why people who didn't complete the plot got a prize that users who did complete it didn't receive. Is TNT rewarding laziness now?
I'm not saying they shouldn't get a prize. Imo it should work like the Faerie Festival: everyone gets some prizes according to what they accomplished, while those who completed everything receive all the prizes.
by drougy on June 16, 2026 11:51 AM NST
That Void Quantum Blaster....

We clearly haven't Finished the Fight yet.
by jerkplayz on June 16, 2026 11:52 AM NST
Dubloon Disaster score submission hasn't worked in quite some time. I hope its not that.
by keighty7 on June 16, 2026 11:52 AM NST
Giving a desirable prize for not doing all the steps, but not also awarding that prize to everyone who completed all the steps is ridiculous!
by neolodgeism on June 16, 2026 11:52 AM NST
1st riddle is sounding like refreshing the Shenkuu Lunar Temple page at around 11:59 NST, given the line (Between the beat of old and new)

3rd riddle is sounding like Symol Hole, receiving an item 3 times.
by ededdeddy12345226 on June 16, 2026 11:52 AM NST
would #1 maybe have something to do with the Tyrannian concert hall? "share an audience" "Between the beat" "tick too early or a tick too late" - ticket?
by deedeerox on June 16, 2026 11:53 AM NST
I thought #1 might be Lunar Temple, but can't confirm because I failed at the attempt.
by neolodgeism on June 16, 2026 11:54 AM NST
should be noted that the volunteer hospital has finally shut down! had a round of volunteers going and got a reminder to check only to not get the final rewards :') woo! but looks like the void bd challengers are available? haven't tried fighting them yet though
by shann0425 on June 16, 2026 11:54 AM NST
#3 Seems to be related to fishing?
by rohwynn on June 16, 2026 11:55 AM NST
also i feel like they wouldn't include a clue to a page that hasn't been updated to the beta site yet hmmm
by shann0425 on June 16, 2026 11:55 AM NST
I did all the chapters on release, didn't do every achievement, got 2 void paint brushes and no void kad.

Given all I care about is customziing pets though, I'm gonna choose to be happy I got the most important thing to me.
by heznarrt on June 16, 2026 11:55 AM NST
Points are still being awarded? My trophy points now differ than my adventure pass points...

I missed one deed (the 50k damage) and got the pb
by dragongrl101 on June 16, 2026 11:55 AM NST
update: looks like only 4 of the void challengers have been added to the "void dome" hmm
by shann0425 on June 16, 2026 11:57 AM NST
Would #1 be referencing the Tear of Kreludor?
by rohwynn on June 16, 2026 11:57 AM NST
I would have much preferred a Void Kad over this BD weapon
by purrmeister on June 16, 2026 11:57 AM NST
Got awarded the paint brush. I did miss one achievement (I couldn't beat that lady) but no kadoatie.
by luckk on June 16, 2026 11:58 AM NST
Also I have 17 different items with space in the name in my inventory but riddle 4 isn't working
by heznarrt on June 16, 2026 11:59 AM NST
Consolidating some theories people here have shared about the two incomplete hints for those skimming just for that:
#1- Most likely involving the Lunar Temple and refreshing at a certain time. "Ocean... moon... tides..." "honored spire" "Between the beat of old and new..." "...a tick too early or a tick too late..." Sounds to me like it's midnight (11:59?), in that case, good luck with the lag if everyone tries to refresh at once, lol.
#4- Could be fishing and bringing up an item three times with the same pet? "Capture..." "patience" "...stare into the DEPTHS for days and return with favour..." "...repetition is key for they must LURE in a success times three..." A lot of the clues have puns and wordplay they wear on their sleeve.
by 1meengreenie on June 16, 2026 11:59 AM NST
I had an idea, maybe this will be helpful! I searched "String of" in the shop wizard for "Containing my Phrase," and the 2 that we haven't solved yet have "String of Air Waves" and "String of Ocean Waves"
by neolikepets on June 16, 2026 12:00 PM NST
The third might be underwater fishing over three days?
by spring2k5 on June 16, 2026 12:00 PM NST
Wait I got riddle 4 done by visiting my inventory with the items...okay I guess
by heznarrt on June 16, 2026 12:01 PM NST
Actually meant to say the villian-rush deed - the 50k damage was for the avvy
by dragongrl101 on June 16, 2026 12:01 PM NST
I think the kad shouldve been awarded to both tiers of achievements and the blaster on top of that if you had 100%, punishing people for completing 100% by not giving them a kad is a bit stupid to me, usually theyve always tiered them rather than having it be one or the other.

I also think the third is fishing over three days
by sima232005 on June 16, 2026 12:02 PM NST
@neolikepets GREAT this probably means Shenkuu Lunar Temple + Maraqua Underground Fishing Vortex.
by spotter001 on June 16, 2026 12:02 PM NST
@neolikepets great thinking!!!
by shann0425 on June 16, 2026 12:04 PM NST

You need to get the lunar puzzle in Shenkuu right for #1 I think. I got it wrong, can't confirm. But that's what the clue indicates.

Destructo Match must be done through the games room, not any other link.

Fished successfully with 12 pets and no dice for either of the remaining riddles.

Did Lunar Temple successfully and nothing for that either.

I was missing one achievement, the one for purchasing things in the plot rewards store, so I didn't get the Zapper. But as soon as the glitch on the store was fixed and got the 15 purchases, I got the achievement and when went back to the plot hub, I got the zapper! Maybe if you didn't receive the kadoatie, you still might have a chance for the zapper??

It doesn't matter if you have more than one 'Space' item. It doesn't matter if you have other items that are not 'space' items. The order doesn't seem to matter?

I dumped all 'space' items from my SDB using the new mass remove one feature and went directly to the Mining Company and then to my Inventory.

i got the pb but didn't get a kadoatie - i have all achievements except the villain-rush one, my bd pet is way too weak. maybe there's a points threshhold or something? i got 36,708 total, if that helps.

for riddle #1 i'm thinking visiting the shenkuu lunar temple at midnight? or maybe 11:59? (Between the beat of old and new) (a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars) agree that #3 is possibly symol hole, but i feel like that would be an insane difficulty variability between the riddles when the other 2 are so easy. symol hole prizes are insanely rare...
by sentehisshou on June 16, 2026 12:25 PM NST
My brother told me he cleared all achievements but the one where you need to beat Drakara within five rounds (meaning he has 100% - 100% - 100% - 88.89% clearance on the achievements) and he did not get anything but the Paint Brush. Bit odd that the margin for getting a Kadoatie is so slim.
by apophis324 on June 16, 2026 12:26 PM NST
I got the String of Space Waves after visiting the Kreludor Mining Company. So while having four space items (perhaps not because others in the Neoboards have some really random items?) in your Inventory gives you the first step of #4 puzzle, you *then* have to go to the KMC.
by solsticesprite on June 16, 2026 12:29 PM NST
My guess for #1 (probably gives the String of Airwaves) is by getting in to a Gruundo concert. The next one is on the 25th with a 64,000 capacity, so it's an interesting way to timelock it too.

by shann0425 on June 16, 2026 12:53 PM NST
For #3 Fishing Vortex seems more likely than Symol Hole to me, purely because of the descriptive flavor and nature of the Vortex page itself:

"To capture the breath of the land ..." -> "This trapped air pocket ..." from the Vortex description
"The patience it takes ... " -> "But be patient." from the description
"... stare into the depths ..." -> nothing in the description, but the phrasing "the depths" is more commonly used to refer to deep water than to a hole in the ground

Getting a prize from the Symol Hole does require a lot more *literal patience* on the part of the Neopets player because the odds are so low, but there's nothing (as far as I can tell, maybe I'm missing something) about the in-universe "lore" of the hole (such as it is) that has anything to do with patience, or with "capturing" or "breath".

It can't hurt to give it a try anyway, of course, since it seems likely to take multiple days to accomplish no matter what it is! But I'd be much more surprised if the Hole was the answer over the Vortex.
by thewinkingcat on June 16, 2026 12:59 PM NST
Maybe if the void blaster was actually GOOD it would be better than the Kadotie... but instead, more punishment for the most dedicated just like Drakara's Wand. Was it really such a big ask to make it equivalent power level to the Corrupted Staff... instead of useless? Just constant kicking of the people who put in the most time, what is there problem?

by reckless4romance on June 16, 2026 1:04 PM NST
I'm convinced the Lost In The Dark activity was rigged. I did it for weeks using left, left, right, just like I do with Faerie Caverns, and never got the achievement. Then someone said to do left, left, left, and I got it within a day or two. I did the same combination every day after that, and I won almost every day.

If someone designed that achievement to only be obtainable with left, left, left, that's incredibly gross.
by sakaarson on June 16, 2026 1:07 PM NST
I didn't get anything, but the trophy. I know i read all the chapters but probably not the week they came out. I didn't get the Void Kadoatie with a bit over 18k points.
by bommer06 on June 16, 2026 1:09 PM NST
(My logic is because many, many people play these chance-based games using the same combination of turns every day, to maximize their chance of the game eventually switching to that combination of turns, which will allow them to win. So if the game doesn't actually do that, the people who take that approach get burned.)

And you have to submit a score of over 1,000. Once you've done that go to the Magma Pool in Moltara and you'll complete that part. I got String of Seismic Waves and Seismic Waves Reading Practice/

Jeez
by maninshi on June 16, 2026 1:49 PM NST
@maninshi "Unique" means items with different names (so they won't stack in the inventory). For example, I just grabbed the first four items with "space" in their name from my SDB (in my case "The Space Faerie", "Space Faerie Pen", "Space Station Bath Tub" and "Space Station Chocolate Milk Glass". The rarity and where they came from shouldn't matter; just needs to be four different items.

Once you have the four items in your inventory, make sure you visit/refresh on the inventory page itself. Then the second step will pop up, and you can go to the mining corp from there.

I'm sure #3 is fishing 3 days in a row and reeling something in. #4 is eluding me still.

I thought it must be something in the Hall of Heroes, perhaps visiting a particular statue at a particular time, since it talks about 'beaneath an honored spire' and talks about stars - which we all know that plot featured the telescope and finding constellations. Still no luck exploring that avenue, though.

@ pstrb2 The benefit that is left for the premium battles is the retired challengers you can face to get specific prizes. If you're just going for nerks or high priced items to sell/stat boosters for pets then the Void Dome, which is also Premium exclusive, is the option of choice. But both have things that the other doesn't, just depends on what you're working towards.

by wizsk8er on June 16, 2026 2:10 PM NST
The kadotie is a consolation prize for those who didn’t get the other two prizes. The real requirement is not having participated in the plot from the beginning, so you’re not eligible for the PB and you wouldn’t have the first achievement either. If you got the PB or the weapon, then they won’t give you the kadotie. Almost everyone who complains about not getting it was in the story from the start, it doesn’t matter if you later missed some achievement.

The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides. But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky.

But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars., its my first riddle

@caomuerte everyone has the same riddles.
by vampyrefay on June 16, 2026 2:38 PM NST
I thought maybe riddle #1 had something to do with Marak but I tried visiting the statue in the hall of heroes and nothing happened. Maybe the constellation works? I also bought a moondial because of the mention of night sky tick too early and tick too late but alas, 270k down the drain.

If anybody's having trouble with Destruct-o-match, try to get one gigantic cluster of same-colored blocks together in each level before wrecking it, that's what worked for me.
by skyheart15 on June 16, 2026 2:42 PM NST
I finally figured out how to submit a bug report, it's been a long day and my brain is not firing on all cylinders (if it was maybe I would've realized before trading the duplicate item)

I guess uh, be careful trading your final rewards, everyone? Fingers crossed that they just delete two of the three I have left in my SDB :")

Zen mode on Destruct-o-match worked for me. kept goign and going past 1500 and I just wanted it to end LOL
by kelsladry on June 16, 2026 2:45 PM NST
@aneon you didn't encounter a bug. Since you have premium you get double the prizes! I also got 2 void paint brushes, 2 Void Quantum Blaster, 2 stamps, etc
by kelsladry on June 16, 2026 2:47 PM NST
@kelsladry I got four of one item, is the issue :') and I didn't realize it until after I'd offered one on a trade
by aneon on June 16, 2026 2:49 PM NST
I got the paint brush, but I missed one achievement and did not get the kad. I was at 100% for the first 3 acts and at 88.89% for the final one. I could not beat dakara.

by reckless4romance on June 16, 2026 3:25 PM NST
I didn't get the Kad, the blaster or the PB, and I could swear I did every chapter, though some would've been completed a bit late around the middle of the plot. I do know I missed two achievements though:

Act I: 83.33% (missing From the Very Beginning)
Act II: 80% (missing Go with the Flow)
Act III: 100%
Act IV: 100%

Rather disappointed but whatever I guess.
by aviagua on June 16, 2026 3:28 PM NST
My theories on the remaining two:

Clue 1:
"The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides. But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky. Between the beat of old and new an inquiry for the tranquillity of the ever-moving waves may be granted if within the hallowed walls. But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars."

This will probably be for the String of Ocean Waves (thank you Shop Wizard).
Since it's talking about the moon, a honoured spire, and "share an audience with the night sky", I (and many others) are guessing the Lunar Temple is involved.
Many are thinking the "between the beat of old and new" and "tick too early/late" means being there at an exact time, specifically 11:59 pm or 12:00 am NST. However that wouldn't quite be fair to people whose NST midnight is at hours when they would be long asleep.
So instead I'm wondering if maybe it's not about waiting for a specific time but rather a specific result. "Between the beat of old and new" could maybe be referring to the phases of Kreludor. The "tick too early/late" re-enforces that it being a specific phase. So I'm betting we're going to have to wait for when one of our Lunar Temple answers is either a Full Moon, New Moon, or one of the half moons.
Prediction: The second part of the clue will probably point us to Mystery Island's "The Beach" location where due to the current phase of Kreludor, had the tides bring in the string.

(Cont)
by pikachu315111 on June 16, 2026 3:34 PM NST
Clue 3:
"To capture the breath of the land is a nigh on impossible feat. The patience it takes would drive many to their wits' end. Only those who can stare into the depths for days and return with favour may know what it takes. However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three."

This will probably be for the String of Air Waves.
Talking about patience/repetition, "stare into the depths", and "return with favour/lure in a success times three". While I would like to take credit for this, I saw someone else suggested this: the specific use of "depths" and "lure" may point to the Ye Olde Fishing Vortex, which is a cavern of a trapped pocket of air under Maraqua where you underground fish (the fisherman being the ones who "stare into the depths", and fishing uses "lures" to attract fish (or get snag on something else, which may refer back to the "drive many to wit's end" comment as plenty of the "garbage" prizes hint toward someone losing their temper)). And, well, to get the next part of the clue you're gonna need one of your Neopets to successfully fish up three items (I just tried pulling up rewards with my current four Neopets and no dice, so it must be a single Neopet thing if true).
Prediction: No clue what the second part could say, it'll have to be something involving air so maybe a high up place like Terror Mountain. Maybe the string was stashed away in like the Shop of Mystery.

Eitherway, at least I'm not advancing forward anymore today in my theories are right.
by pikachu315111 on June 16, 2026 3:35 PM NST
I'm wondering if it has to do with the telescope in the hall of heroes.

"The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides. But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky. Between the beat of old and new an inquiry for the tranquillity of the ever-moving waves may be granted if within the hallowed walls. But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars."

Maybe clicking the right coordinates between the old wave and the new wave of the constellation? A tick too much in either direction is wrong? It's the only thing I can think of that connects the night sky, a spire, and a wave. I'm doing it now but it is TEDIOUS.

@pikachu315111 Well, it doesn't seem to be new moon at the Lunar Temple, at least. Mine happened to be exactly on a new moon today and I didn't get anything special for getting it right.
by thewinkingcat on June 16, 2026 3:54 PM NST
It has something to do with The Wave, Marak! I'm thinking about The Altador Plot.

Don't forget about the instruments we got way back in 2024 from Orion's Prophecies quest!
by murpha21 on June 16, 2026 3:59 PM NST
I agree that the third clue will be String of Air Waves. "To capture the breath of the land" sounds like it's related to wind. So I think the activity is something involving air/ wind, which doesn't really make sense with fishing. Although "lure in a success" does sound like fishing so idk. I went ahead and fished to be safe.

+1 to completing everything and being a little sad to miss out on the kad!

Also, I hope they add lab exclusive colors to Ozzy's feature like the regular FFQ. Many of us were hoping for a petpet fountain but this current one really only eliminated the need for petpet paint brushes. The real appeal would be getting special petpets.

by rhetoriny on June 16, 2026 4:41 PM NST
My best guess is that Riddle #1 is referring to visiting Coltzan's Shrine at midnight. It's the best fit for an "honoured spire" I can think of. Either that or the Obelisk battleground. Third guess is maaaaaybe Neovia because it's dark there and has the pointy clock tower, but that doesn't seem nearly as likely because you can't visit the building itself.

Is the blaster not generating items for anyone else? I played 60 or so battles with it and it didn’t generate anything for me. Granted, mine only does 10 icons (it has a better chance of generating items if it does 15) since my pet isn’t strong enough yet.

Riddle #1: I also think this is Lunar Temple. I believe it's phase 4, which is exactly between New Moon (8) and Full Moon (0,16). I did it already today so I can't check. Not sure if the coords have to be accurate for your puzzle (aka a correct guess). If anyone can check that would be awesome!!!

I'm very sure riddle #3 is going to be three successful fishing casts with the same pet.

The lunar calendar makes sense with the wording of the riddle, but I wonder if it's Coltzan's Shrine or the Obelisk battleground event instead? This part of plot isn't on any kind of timer that we know of, so it could be drawn out. And you DO have to wait for the right time for the Obelisk battleground...

by sakaarson on June 16, 2026 6:31 PM NST
I may have a lead for riddle #1, but I'm still not 100% on it. I think it might be related to the observatory in Altador, in the hall of heroes: https://www.neopets.com/altador/hallofheroes.phtml?stairs=1 - I keep getting a flash is dead notification though when I click the telescope, so I'm unsure. But it really fits the part of the riddle of "within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky". If anyone else has any ideas, I might be going down the wrong path.
by raishe on June 16, 2026 6:33 PM NST
Okay I can confirm now, I had not finished the achievement of "Rift Rewarder"/buy 15 prize point items and had not gotten the "From the Very Beginning" achievement but had all other achievements and only got the paintbrush. But I just bought items from the Prize Shop until I got the pop-up for "Rift Rewarder" and then went back to the home page for the Void Within and it gave me the Void Kado in a nother pop-up. So it is definitely all achievements besides "From the Very Beginning".

Only those who can stare into the depths for days and return with favour may know what it takes. However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three]

I have several ideas if anyone with more skill and time want's to test them out
Original idea -- the fruit stand in Lost Desert. Either you need a lucky spin or that's just not it
The idea I mentioned before -- a 3 day run at spinning the wheel of monotony,
the one I've seen other people mention -- a 3 day vortex fishing
the one I haven't seen mentioned -- Kass Basher, it is literally a wind based game to cover more ground. but what score would work even if that is the case, I can't guess

I got the kad (no brush or blaster) and I completed all fearless deeds except the "from the very beginning" one

I did the wheel of monotony 3 times today (thanks to extra spin boon) and didn't unlock anything, although one of the spins sent me to lair of the beast, so only 2 spins yielded prizes.
by larimar on June 16, 2026 6:58 PM NST
@timbergray That's good to know! Thank you! I agree it would be weird to use an unconverted page but maybe we'll see?

Here's my full thinking for Riddle #1:

I believe it's either 4 OR 12 because those are halfway between "old moon" and "new moon"

"Between the beat of old and new" = pos. 4 (first quarter) or pos. 12 (third quarter)
"but a tick too early or a tick too late" = too early (waxing) or too late (waning)

We know now it's not pos. 12 so that's out. Maybe pos. 4?

My two cents - I remember back when this whole plot started, they claimed players would never have to fight in the Battledome in order to be able to get all the achievements... and they lied. And now, they're awarding a Battledome weapon as a prize, when I'd much rather have a Void Kadoatie. Pfft.
by myriamele on June 16, 2026 7:26 PM NST
Okay anyone have ANY idea what the drop rate is for items with the new blasters? my friend and I are doing the exact same thing (2 blasters, void worm on hard, max strength boost, one hit KO, repeat) and he got 7 items in 10 pulls at the same time I got ONE item out of SIXTY.

7/10 VS 1/60 DOING THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME???

He did a bunch earlier too and for him 5 battles without anything was a long time, usually he got items more often than that.

by theopossumguy on June 16, 2026 7:49 PM NST
I think #3 is likely fishing, but needs to be spread out over time.
• "To capture the breath of the land is a nigh on impossible feat" - pocket of air under water
• "Only those who can stare into the depths for days" - over the course of at least 3 days for the 3 successes
• "lure in a success times three" - lure (referencing fishing) and again, needing 3 successes
by geindora on June 16, 2026 7:50 PM NST
I feel like the first one is talking about a timed event (Like snowager or the Deadly Dice), but I can't think of any that has to do with stars and the ocean,,,
by galilea123_123 on June 16, 2026 7:52 PM NST
So I was breaking down the riddles for the string clues from Orion and this is what I came up with thus far for String Clue #1

"The ocean never settles, for the moon is forever pulling at the tides."
- References the moon's effect on ocean tides.
- The key theme is likely tides, cycles, timing, or lunar influence.
"But there is a moment, within an honoured spire, where one can share an audience with the night sky."
- An "honoured spire" could be a tower, observatory, clock tower, cathedral steeple, or another tall landmark.
"Share an audience with the night sky" suggests looking at stars, the moon, or a celestial alignment.
"Between the beat of old and new..."
This sounds strongly like a transition point:
- Midnight (old day → new day)
- A clock striking
- New moon → old moon
- A change of hour
"...an inquiry for the tranquillity of the ever-moving waves may be granted..."
- "Tranquillity of the ever-moving waves" sounds like calming the sea, stopping motion, or finding a state when tides are at rest.
In tidal terms, there is something called slack tide or slack water, the brief period between incoming and outgoing tides when the water is relatively calm.
"But a tick too early or a tick too late, and the request will be forever lost amongst the stars."
- The clue emphasizes precise timing.
- The word "tick" strongly hints at a clock.
- You must act at an exact moment.

My interpretation

The string clue is likely directing you to:

- Go to a tower/spire (possibly one associated with astronomy or a clock).
- Wait for a specific celestial or clock-related moment.
- Perform an action exactly between one state and another (the "beat of old and new").
- The timing window is extremely narrow possibly the instant a clock changes hour, midnight, or a specific lunar/tidal event.

The most important clues are:

- Moon → tides
- Spire → tower/observatory
- Night sky → stars
- Beat of old and new → transition moment
- Tick t

Only those who can stare into the depths for days and return with favour may know what it takes. However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three]

Has anyone considered anything about the Deserted Tomb? It specifically mentions staring "into the depths for days" and alot of the dialogue for the tomb refers to spending "days" in there, even though it's just a daily.

I just can't imagine having "success times three" because it's a once-daily thing.

by bspiral on June 16, 2026 10:34 PM NST
I was only missing the From the Beginning achievement, and got the void kad along with my point trophy and void brush!
by evisane on June 16, 2026 10:50 PM NST
I too just revisited the hub and received the pb & blaster again
by kakalake on June 16, 2026 11:01 PM NST
1. Didn't miss any achievements and received the paint brush and blaster, no kad.
2. Also received two of each prize (both prizes from the plot and the strings/books/etc. from Orion's tasks).
3. Could three be the Faerie Caves? Since, if you win, you do so in three turns?
4. Definitely think the most likely is Shenkuu's lunar chart or something with Altador's star gazing, etc (esp. bc there's water close by).
by surferboard_girl on June 16, 2026 11:04 PM NST
Oh wow, I noticed they changed the layout to now show Turdy's on the Games pull down (as well as Release notes under the Explore), So that was a welcomed change. I definetly missed a lot of things on the event, but I did get a paintbrush so thats nice, Really hoping a Kad fixes itself in later though haha.
by beezebeora on June 16, 2026 11:40 PM NST
it happened to me as well when i went to go spend points.. I sent in a ticket.. I didn't want to risk anything.
by niasaj on June 16, 2026 11:54 PM NST
Some how I've gotten 3 void paintbrushes?! I have no idea how. I got "Participating in Every Chapter of the Plot" but missed 2 achievements.
by momiji on June 16, 2026 11:54 PM NST
Can confirm, #1 is NOT the Lunar Temple at 11:59 PM NST.
by cygnata on June 17, 2026 12:00 AM NST
Refreshed Lunar Temple at 12:00am NST and got the next clue for #1!
by jennoying_sparkle on June 17, 2026 12:00 AM NST
it is the lunar temple at 0:00
by pstrb2 on June 17, 2026 12:01 AM NST
It's the Lunar Chart & 12:00AM
by dragon_shy on June 17, 2026 12:01 AM NST
Got Riddle #1 by visiting the Shenkuu Lunar Temple page exactly at midnight NST
by spotter001 on June 17, 2026 12:01 AM NST
I did every achievement, did not get Void Kad
by dakukuu on June 17, 2026 12:01 AM NST
It's appeared somewhere under a great, swirling pressure. The very essence around it appears to be boiling within a deep darkness.

Lunar Temple at midnight, then the Bubbling Pit: https://www.neopets.com/water/bubblingpit.phtml
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:01 AM NST
The next step after the lunar temple is the bubbling pit in maraqua.
by mlg420noscope on June 17, 2026 12:02 AM NST
#1- Go to the Lunar Temple at Midnight. You don't need to make a guess, just go there and it pops up. The string is in the Bubbling Pit.
by sashavonplundercat on June 17, 2026 12:03 AM NST
Fishing vortex confirmed for final clue
by pstrb2 on June 17, 2026 12:03 AM NST
Very smart design move by TNT, to solve all riddles we actually need at least 3 days instead of just getting them all in 10 minutes lol
by spotter001 on June 17, 2026 12:04 AM NST
Lunar Temple at Midnight (12:00:00-12:00:01 AM NST).

Then AFTER you get the verification, go to Bubbling Pit to claim the string.
by duskshadowbrony on June 17, 2026 12:04 AM NST
got 1 at the Lunar Temple at midnight and then after a jaunt to the Boiling Pit in Maraqua
by lostmothra on June 17, 2026 12:05 AM NST
confirmed to the the lunar temple in shenku at 12am nst for #1
by jjotterbear on June 17, 2026 12:05 AM NST
Fished and got items with 2 pets (after fishing with more than 10 pets yday) and got #3: It feels as though it has appeared in a place one can not easily reach. So far up that it's almost in the sky itself, and yet there is very little sun as echoes bounce around it.
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:08 AM NST
I thought for sure Riddle #1 would have something to do with the observatory in the Hall of Heroes, so I went there and looked through the telescope right at 12:00 NST, but nothing happened. Then I went to the Lunar Temple at 12:01 NST and then to the Bubbling Pit a few minutes later, but it was too late at that point But I'm glad I know what to do now at least, so thank you to everyone who figured it out
by gamergirl33119 on June 17, 2026 12:09 AM NST
The clue wasn't kidding though, that window is *tiny*. It's like getting the Haunted Woods theme on Halloween tiny. Good luck, players!
by weirdee on June 17, 2026 12:10 AM NST
The solution to Riddle #1 is ridiculous. Not everyone can be online at 12:00 AM NST. People are in different timezones and have real life responsibilities and sleep schedules that will interfere with this solution.
by durianicecream on June 17, 2026 12:13 AM NST
2nd part of #3 is Negg Cave: https://www.neopets.com/shenkuu/neggcave/index.phtml
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:14 AM NST
Yeah, confirmed riddle 3 is first Fishing Vortex 3x consecutive catches, then Negg Cave.

There is more after it. Trying to figure it out now.
by duskshadowbrony on June 17, 2026 12:15 AM NST
This is a boo for TNT side. I didn't figure it out until the others figured it out and then it was to late
by orangeblossom45 on June 17, 2026 12:17 AM NST
Not sure how I solved Clue #3 but others haven't been able to? I fished with each of my pets yesterday and got the confirmation I got it right after fishing with my third pet today. Did not need to level up my fishing level. Despite having solved all the clues, Page 2 remains locked.

It feels as though it has appeared in a place one can not easily reach. So far up that it's almost in the sky itself, and yet there is very little sun as echoes bounce around it.
by pstrb2 on June 17, 2026 12:17 AM NST
Yes, I was able to get it by switching pets and fishing until it came up. I had to switch pets a couple of times even though I fished yesterday successfully.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:18 AM NST
Go to the Lair of the Beast. The lyre should appear on the page with pure darkness, you have to click the lyre and again and again as it reappears around the darkness. This is apparently playing the lyre. Then you can enter and get an item (Lair Beast Locket) and avatar.
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:19 AM NST
rope 3: first you must fish on different days (only fish once yesterday and twice today) or until I send you an Orion message, then you must go to the negg cave

it's a shame that they decided to restrict the first cave to such an impossible time of day, now I have to see how the others have fun following the plot and I have to wait 24 hours
by novad123 on June 17, 2026 12:20 AM NST
Before we get angry, are we sure that it doesn't work at any other hour? I am personally going to keep trying at the beginning of every hour to see if the Lunar Temple will eventually work for me.

It is also possible that it will work at noon and at midnight to give more people opportunities to try.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:20 AM NST
Dang. I only saw the lyre once so I missed out. Now I have to wait until tomorrow!
by triforce19 on June 17, 2026 12:20 AM NST
Dangit, I was literally one minute too early. >.< Hoping I can do it tomorrow!
by cygnata on June 17, 2026 12:22 AM NST
I was 3 minutes late and missed the Lunar Temple one. Not a fan of the tiny window!
by sir_chicken on June 17, 2026 12:23 AM NST
Yes, finally! I can sense a string's power.

It feels as though it has appeared in a place one can not easily reach. So far up that it's almost in the sky itself, and yet there is very little sun as echoes bounce around it.

Can someone else try fishing at Ye Olde Fishing Vortex 3 times?
I fished yesterday once with one, today once and switched pet and switched with them making it 3x
by bananas on June 17, 2026 12:23 AM NST
Can we confirm if those who got #3 had 3 successful fish catches? I had 8 successful catches with my pets yesterday, and 3 successful catches around midnight NST, and no #3. I can confirm one of my catches was Cubefish (around midnight NST) but no prompt came up.
by robinsharma on June 17, 2026 12:24 AM NST
Keep switching until you get it. It took me three pets today and one yesterday.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:25 AM NST
After you get the thing from the Lair of the Beast, there are comic pages, ending with page 7. These are a new vision from Orion, but I won't spoil it here. :3
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:26 AM NST
I don't know what I caught yesterday, but today I caught Grey Sea Fern and Frozen Mechafish.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:27 AM NST
riddle #3 is collect 3 items from fishing hole then go here : https://www.neopets.com/shenkuu/neggcave/index.phtml. this is verified by me.
by gettoepoptart21 on June 17, 2026 12:30 AM NST
So if I understand correct, people who fished yesterday were able to unlock it by fishing today? As in it has to be consecutive days, not just switching pets?
by catriki on June 17, 2026 12:32 AM NST
Yes I fished yesterday and today, both on the same pet, and then I switched pets again a couple of times and fish some more until I finally got it.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:33 AM NST
Ehm. I fished up two things, but it didn't work. Five things didn't work either.. Is this also time-based, or do the pets need to have a certain fishing level for it to work?
by apophis324 on June 17, 2026 12:34 AM NST
The fishing one was definitely not active yesterday as I fished with all my pets (like 9) and nothing happened. And later I did the negg puzzle and nothing happened either.
by alltimemarr on June 17, 2026 12:35 AM NST
To be a bit clearer: Yesterday I fished on the pet that I had active at the time. I did not try fishing on any other pet. Then today I went and fished again on that same pet. I did not get the notification, so I kept switching pets and fishing until I finally got the notification. That took me two pet swaps (for a total of three pets today).
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:35 AM NST
Fishing is not working, I've gotten four items in the row and then visted the negg cave and it's not working
by singing1633 on June 17, 2026 12:36 AM NST
I caught, in order:
Rotten Omelette Sandwich
Waterfish
Old Rotten Right Sandal
Scroll of the Sea
Old Rotten Right Shoe

Maybe you're not allowed to fish up junk items like that? How lame..
by apophis324 on June 17, 2026 12:36 AM NST
Bluh, the costs of training pets are gonna be sky high for a while....
by weirdee on June 17, 2026 12:38 AM NST
Got the fishing one today after three unsuccessful and two successful catches.
by alltimemarr on June 17, 2026 12:38 AM NST
You have to had fished yesterday & today to get it. I didn't fish yesterday so have to wait till tomm as with the temple also woop.
by burntcookies on June 17, 2026 12:39 AM NST
I caught giant green kelp and breadfish if that helps
by alltimemarr on June 17, 2026 12:39 AM NST
The pet that I fished with yesterday and today is now level 45. The two other pets that I fished with today are level 51 and level 155. I do not remember what level they were at before starting.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:41 AM NST
I guess the "depths for days" and "times three." might still be of importance
It is hard to test now that I got it after fishing yesterday and today

I just hope riddle #1 is not only at midnight...
by bananas on June 17, 2026 12:42 AM NST
It does not require training. We are not talking about training level of pet, rather we are talking about fishing level.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:42 AM NST
But I *did* fish yesterday, with my main pet (who has max fishing level). I just did it before 10AM NST, so.. Maybe that is of importance too somehow?
by apophis324 on June 17, 2026 12:44 AM NST
I fished yesterday and today. I got mostly garbage. Today I got driftwood (and then IDK because there was the Orion Prompt)
Went to the Negg Cave completed #3
But only 2 out of 14 pets would fish, the rest wanted to be patient, it was too soon. -____-
I do not like having to wait until midnight tomorrow. Thats so annoying.
by imaginationodd13 on June 17, 2026 12:46 AM NST
there's no way riddle #1 requires a literal minute f*ckn window to get it??? absolutely criminal if that's not a mistake on TNT's part
by rowenstarchild on June 17, 2026 12:47 AM NST
re: riddle 3 -- I fished yesterday and today, and got items, but no clue and no string.
by deedee on June 17, 2026 12:48 AM NST
@rowenstarchild: Well the totally-written-by-a-human-being riddle does point at a small window of time. It just blows for everyone in the world for whom that is not a decent time to be awake. For me it's 9AM, so I should be able to get it tomorrow..
by apophis324 on June 17, 2026 12:49 AM NST
I also fished with all eight of my pets yesterday and got nothing. I wonder if it's time sensitive
by morules_99 on June 17, 2026 12:50 AM NST
Riddle 3: I just fished up 7 items in a row and got nothing.
by crabbyb0tter on June 17, 2026 12:51 AM NST
Finished the epilogue and wow...TNT is cooking.
by jjotterbear on June 17, 2026 12:52 AM NST
Fished with all 17 of my pets today. Even got a few in a row where I caught edible fish back to back.

Nothing. At all. So it's either glitched, or there's more to solving the riddle than just "fish up two items in a row".
by lena9016 on June 17, 2026 12:52 AM NST
It is possible that all three catches have to be from pets that are above a certain fishing level. If true, that level cannot be higher than 45, because the lowest fishing level of the three pets that I tried it on before I got the notification is 45 right now.

It could be that you need three catches from a pet that has a fishing level over (undetermined number that we know for sure can't be more than 45) level. If you only have one pet whose fishing level has met the (as yet undetermined) fishing level threshold, then you would have to fish successfully for three days before you get the notification. If you have three pets whose fishing skill is above that level then it might only take you one day if you are successful in catching on each one.

Battledome training level would be irrelevant. The pet that I fished on yesterday and today was level one. The other two were level 9 and level 670.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:52 AM NST
@rowenstarchild tbf that's the same window of time they used to give for I think the Haunted Woods site theme and the Starry Night avatar. But I agree very inconsiderate gate-keeping.
by crabbyb0tter on June 17, 2026 12:53 AM NST
IRT the minimum fishing level requirements, the lowest level pet I used last that triggered the popup was only level 5, so if there's a threshold then it isn't high
by sawvidae on June 17, 2026 12:54 AM NST
We don't know for sure that midnight is the only time. It could be on the hour. We are just a few minutes away from 1 a.m. NST, so I'm about to try again at the Lunar Temple.

It's possible they made it midnight and noon. We don't know until we try.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 12:56 AM NST
got all four strings and was sent off to the lair of the beast. i think i was supposed to click the lyre on the black screen within a second or so? i missed and cant try again for 24 hours. so. anyone else getting this far, be quick lol
by llamallady on June 17, 2026 12:58 AM NST
I went fishing two times in a row with two different pets and didn't get an update.

I tried it again with two pets I've confirmed to be above level two fishing skill level and still no update.
(First pet was level 15 and became level 16. Second pet was level 5 and now is level 6.)
by 1jediboy on June 17, 2026 1:01 AM NST
@neolodgeism: Noon was already tested yesterday and it was not a solution. Other XX:00-XX:01 timing was tested too. I just tested 01:00-01:01 and it didn't work. It is very likely that only 12:00-12:01 works.
by stormmonarch on June 17, 2026 1:02 AM NST
So it's unlikely that is on the hour for the Lunar Temple. Therefore people can try at noon and see if it's noon and midnight. Otherwise it's sadly midnight.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 1:02 AM NST
Well, it's not any first minute of an hour, so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow (probably not around at midday to try that) ugh.
by yekith on June 17, 2026 1:03 AM NST
Fir the fishing thing, I fished with all of my pets earlier and didn't get anything so i thought that wasn't it. Then I read here that it was and I just went to the Mysterious Negg Cave and got the string and stuff. So you don't get any pop up with the first part of the riddle like we did with the first 2 that were discovered.
by yekith on June 17, 2026 1:06 AM NST
@1jediboy - Did you catch something each time? It's not just a matter of fishing three times, you have to catch something. You probably already know this, but just in case...

@stormmonarch - Thanks, that's helpful to know. Annoying that they made it such a narrow window.

Now did the notification show up just from going to the page at that time? Or did you have to solve the puzzle within that one minute window?
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 1:06 AM NST
Fished with all 19 pets. Nearly everyone of them brought something back but nothing ever triggered and going to the other link never did anything either. Stinks that I missed the other due to time constraints. I'm usually up anyways but can't believe they expect people to stay up to midnight when that can be 3am or worse for many other players.
by grgarveylevin on June 17, 2026 1:07 AM NST
@neolodgeism: You only need to go to the Lunar Temple page, and there is no need to solve the puzzle. The pop-up will appear on the Lunar Temple page and not the solving page. Therefore, make sure you are at the correct page during that small time window.
by stormmonarch on June 17, 2026 1:09 AM NST
Yes. Every single time.

Mostly garbage, though. Only caught one actual fish: The Waterfish.
by 1jediboy on June 17, 2026 1:11 AM NST
I also got the popup on The Void Within hub page that tells me what I won. I already got it on my computer and put the stuff in my SDB, but the popup occurred again when I went back there after midnight. I was glad, since I was hoping to get a screenshot on my computer, but it also gave me another Void Paint Brush and Void Quantum Blaster... What do I do with the spares? This feels like a glitch.)
by 1jediboy on June 17, 2026 1:13 AM NST
@1jediboy - I got it after catching a seaweed and a fish today. I don't remember what I caught yesterday. Maybe it is something to do with level of fishing skill, or maybe there's some element of randomness, or (more likely perhaps) maybe it is bugged.

@stormmonarch - Thanks that's very helpful. Time to set an alarm.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 1:16 AM NST
@neolodgeism - Seaweed is still a living thing, so maybe that counts?

Maybe you have to try it with two pets of the same, specific level?
by 1jediboy on June 17, 2026 1:20 AM NST
I can't believe I have to wait until midnight TOMORROW to get the last string.
Ugh..
by solarboyaaron on June 17, 2026 1:23 AM NST
I don't think fishing levels matter. I unlocked #3 with a pet with level 2 fishing. I think it may be getting 3 non-junk items in a row, meaning boots, shoes,, buckets, puddle of water, etc are not counted.
by stormmonarch on June 17, 2026 1:30 AM NST
fished an item with 2 dif pets, nothing happend :/
by dakukuu on June 17, 2026 1:34 AM NST
@1jediboy Same for me, I now have 2 of each item, (I'm not premium). For now, I threw the extras in my SDB. I'll wait and see.
by yekith on June 17, 2026 1:42 AM NST
hi can someone change the post for riddle 3? it's not correct. i fished with all 24 of my pets and got several items in a row and did not get the pop up
by _xanniex_ on June 17, 2026 1:43 AM NST
The second pet I fished with today that triggered Orion was only fishing level 7.

#3 can't be right. Can't seem to get it. maybe it's also time sensitive?
by oohuguhoo on June 17, 2026 1:44 AM NST
Fished in 3 items in a row yesterday and never got a pop-up. 2 today and it suddenly worked. Interesting.

Midnight NST is 9am for me but unfortunately my sleep schedule is usually 2am - 11am XD
I'll have to set an alarm for this one. And then it better work first try, lol.
by biediep on June 17, 2026 1:44 AM NST
@stormmonarch re: non-junk items, I fished up Bucket of Sludge and Cinder Block Sea Fungus and it worked.

Yesterday when I fished up 3 items in a row, I fished with my high fishing skill pets.
Today I fished with my low level fishing skill pets. I think maybe it *wants* low fishing skill?
by biediep on June 17, 2026 1:47 AM NST
@biediep: Then I have no idea about the exact requirements
by stormmonarch on June 17, 2026 1:54 AM NST
It's definitely not as simple as just getting 2 items in a row fishing. I just got items with all 8 of my pets and no Orion
by neolikepets on June 17, 2026 2:01 AM NST
re: riddle 3 fishing - Does anyone think it has to be twice with the same pet? Or for two days in a row? Since a lot of people who fished ytd got nothing ytd but are getting it today.
by crabbyb0tter on June 17, 2026 2:05 AM NST
I did the fishing two items and visit negg cave as part of my dailies but I never got a message from Orion.
by zabilac on June 17, 2026 2:10 AM NST
@Yekith - Neither am I. If it's a glitch, hopefully it'll be fixed with no fuss.
Maybe afterwards, TNT will say it's ok to keep the doubles!
by 1jediboy on June 17, 2026 2:10 AM NST
riddle 3: didn't work for me and I fish with my pets everyday.10 of the 11 today fished up an item so one of them should have triggered if it's 2 days in a row. It's either glitched or something else is required I'm missing.
by bearden61 on June 17, 2026 2:11 AM NST
Here is my new theory: Have the first pet in your naming list successfully fishes 2 days in a row.

by public_domain on June 17, 2026 2:41 AM NST
I fished with pet A, B and C yesterday.
Even though I never got a pop-up yesterday when fishing, when I read JN and it said you had to go to the Negg Cave after fishing, that's the first thing I did, hoping my fishing from yesterday would carry over and it would just auto complete as soon as I visited the Negg Cave. It did not, so I went back to the fishing vortex.

Tried pet A again today first, but it said I got nothing and had to be more patient.
Figured pet B and C would give me the same result so I didn't even bother and picked 2 different pets.
Pets D and E. Both pets fished something up, and that's when I got Orion. Going back to the Negg Cave, it completed the riddle this time and I got the String.

So, yesterday pet A, B, C all fished something up.
Pet A got nothing today, then pet D and E did and it worked.
by biediep on June 17, 2026 2:46 AM NST
Just tried the Lunar temple + bubbling pit but it did not work right now. Will try at midnight tomorrow.

Tried to fish with a level 323 pet followed by a level 14 pet then visiting Negg Cave. Nothing.
FIshed with a 1 lvl and a 3 level pet, then Negg Cave. Nothing.
Tried a lvl 1 + lvl 246, NC. Nothing.
Lvl 233 + lvl 22, NC. Nothing.
by woodstocki on June 17, 2026 2:57 AM NST
Adding: all pets fished something up, some of the lower pets raised a level.
by woodstocki on June 17, 2026 2:58 AM NST
Has to be more to the fishing as multiple people having issues ...

I had already fished yesterday and didn't see the clue had been solved until today. I may have visited Fishing Vortex (without fishing today), then Mysterious Negg, first. Then fished up 2 items, no notification. Checked Negg, nothing. Fished up another item or two, still no notification. Kept fishing. In the end, I fished up 12 items in a row with all my pets, no notification and nothing on the Mysterious Negg, so this will be fun... Items fished in order:

Water Muffin
Bubble Mote
Broken Fishing Pole
Waterfish
Cinder Block Sea Fungus
Rotten Omelette Sandwich
Stagnant Puddle of Water
Large Giant Squid
Small Giant Squid
Cheery Plant
Old Rotten Right Boot
Pike Pike

I also haven't completed the Lunar Temple one yet since that one is timed -.-

All pets fished and caught something, cave visited, nothing

Dude...I just got my baby down to two night wake-ups. Now I have to explain to my spouse that I want to set an alarm for 2 AM for a neopets thing? Are you trying to get me in trouble?
by artenglas on June 17, 2026 3:40 AM NST
Are they forreal?? Who in their right mind would set up a time requirement that would force the majority of players to stay up until the witching hours??
by evenstranger on June 17, 2026 3:52 AM NST
The solution to Riddle 1 didn’t work for me, so guessing it is time sensitive like it was suggested. That’s fun… 😅

Also the fishing one didn’t work for me either?
by silverstorm300 on June 17, 2026 3:54 AM NST
I fished with at least 8 pets in a row and it didn't work for me.
by fionathehippo on June 17, 2026 4:00 AM NST
I participated all the way through and no paintbrush..very disappointing
by angeleyes2 on June 17, 2026 4:01 AM NST
I started fishing yesterday and got 3 items in the past 24 hours with the same pet and never got a popup at the vortex nor at the negg cave when doing dailies.

I had tried fishing mulitple times with failure yesterday thinking it could be a solution.

And having ANOTHER midnight NST thing is ridiculous. First Deadly Dice, then the Starry Night avvie, now a literal plot quest??? absolutely asinine.
by wahammy on June 17, 2026 4:08 AM NST
Can confirm that 1 and 3 also have not worked for me ):
by leopardy on June 17, 2026 4:12 AM NST
Wonder if you have to fish up two fish specifically (sorry if anyone else has suggested this, don’t have time to read all the comments) and then go to the Negg cave? If if it’s timed like others have suggested.
by silverstorm300 on June 17, 2026 4:15 AM NST
Riddles 1 and 3 didn't work for me either.
by pixie on June 17, 2026 4:15 AM NST
I wownder if the fishing is random. Just got my like 15th item fished up since solving the riddle before I got it.
by wahammy on June 17, 2026 4:22 AM NST
Why is TNT currently obsessed with showing things at 12:00 AM? Not everyone lives in the US; I'm Brazilian (I just use a translator), and here it's the middle of the night at that time. That's why I've never been able to get the Make-A-Wish avatar at that time.
by gabistar on June 17, 2026 4:24 AM NST
Neither riddle 1 nor 3 are working for me at 4:25 NST
by gabzzz12 on June 17, 2026 4:26 AM NST
@gabistar: It IS a little weird, yes, especially since most other things just start at 10AM because TNT can't be bothered to stick around until midnight to get something started themselves. But they ask that dedication of their fans?
by apophis324 on June 17, 2026 4:26 AM NST
I fished this morning, these are fishing skills, lvl 500 pet = Old Rotten Right Shoe, + lvl 2 pet = Old Rotten Right Shoe, and it triggered Orion popup for me. Then went to the cave and it was done.
by animestar on June 17, 2026 4:28 AM NST
"Neopia Central" on the Shop tab is the best thing they have readded. I'm so happy for this change. ;u;
by cream on June 17, 2026 4:33 AM NST
Limiting the very first puzzle (or any, for that matter) to a 1 minute window of time at reset is diabolical. I have to work and that's not going to be possible for me to achieve #1. So I was only able to get #2, as #3 didn't trigger the popup even after fishing up 2 items in a row and I got both popups for #4 but they aren't registering on my riddle page. I am just done with this plot at this point. I was proud that I made it through and grinded it all out and was lowkey looking forward to some peace but this side quest?? just added a lot of unnecessary frustration to my overall experience negl. k rant over hahah
by goosemary on June 17, 2026 4:41 AM NST
Midnight makes sense cause it's the start of a new day, that's how a lot of games are, my problem is they're not consistent with it, as they sometimes have things start midday, for example the plot use to change at midnight every two weeks then switched to news time every week. Weird change.

Also JN, please change the solution to riddle 3, it is not just fishing two items in a row, many people have tried this to no avail, there is something more specific about it, like fishing two days in a row, catching certain items etc, I fished out something with all 18+ of my pets and no dice for me
by singing1633 on June 17, 2026 4:45 AM NST
Another chiming in to say 1 and 3 will not work for me. Gonna be annoyed if 1 is yet another thing at midnight. Not all of us are on NST
by pinkshinymuffin on June 17, 2026 4:46 AM NST
just did the fishing again as the cool of period I think can be 2-12 hours and fished up 2 more items with 2 of the pets and still no popup. It's either glitched or like the Grave Danger avatar I'm doomed with a random.

by bonju on June 17, 2026 4:59 AM NST
Fishing isn't working for me. I've tried 6 pets in a row and they all pulled something up.
Lunar Temple is also a no go because it seems at the moment it has to be done at 12am NST, which is 3am EST for me. I hope there are other times available, if not I can't complete the epilogue.
by wolf_mistress on June 17, 2026 5:02 AM NST
Welp, 1 and 3 did not work for me.
by afoolishfigment on June 17, 2026 5:03 AM NST

by annw on June 17, 2026 5:05 AM NST
I got 8 items in a row fishing and no pop up. I am running out of pets. What am I doing wrong?
by lily11111111111111 on June 17, 2026 5:10 AM NST
3 might be what you get? One of my pets got a Lurman last night, then today I got an o,d rotten right shoe, and got the pop up after a rockfish.
by nyxbie on June 17, 2026 5:11 AM NST
Midnight requirement is brutal, I hope they add in a noon version.

Midnight NST is 2am for me in my timezone. I'm old, I want to sleep. Come on, they know we're all in our 30s right and can't stay up that late?
by nightshadeswiftswing on June 17, 2026 5:16 AM NST
@ gabistar It's not just a problem for people not in the USA. Our country also has timezones because of how big it is. Midnight in NST is 3am for me.

About the Lunar Temple timing. While it isn't ideal, Ill be sleeping until 2:58 am, get up for that, then go the heck back to sleep. One for sure event has nothing on count Roo and his refusal to co-operate for a week straight.

by seven_dead_owls on June 17, 2026 6:07 AM NST
Be me, who finally fixed their sleep schedule again to go to bed and rise at normal people hours.

Oh look, Neopets decided to add a time sensitive thing that happens when I am asleep. Fantastic. Why are we still doing that?

Yeah, fished with eight pets and nothing. Pulled up an item every time, too.

Curiously, I got the prompt after successfully fishing with two pets in a row, but neither was a fish or a living thing, I got a giant bath plug and a broken fishing pole
by ithrilux on June 17, 2026 6:34 AM NST
@koizumito me too, and It was all for nothing T_T
by maninshi on June 17, 2026 6:38 AM NST
Also didn't get an update after fishing with all 8 pets today. I [foolishly] didn't fish after first obtaining the riddles yesterday, so I think it's a multi-day thing unless it's bugged (which wouldn't make sense). So it's likely you need to successfully fish 3 times over at least two days because it mentions only those who can stare "for days" so it checks out that it can't all be in one day.
by msmickii on June 17, 2026 6:51 AM NST
Tbh, it's at 4am for me and I cannot just wake up and then go back to sleep. Maybe back when I had insomnia and no commitments the next day.
by cream on June 17, 2026 6:59 AM NST
Between yesterday and today I successfully fished up... 25 items. No prompt. All after I got the riddle. I'm a little frustrated but I guess tomorrow is another day.
by mantitorx on June 17, 2026 6:59 AM NST
The fishing one you have to pull up 3 different petpets, like Lurman, Surzard, etc. doesn’t matter which of your pets does it but you have to pull 3
by cabar20 on June 17, 2026 7:01 AM NST
Please everyone who is upset about the midnight timing of that Lunar Temple thing, please submit a ticket to TNT to ask them to add a noon timing as well.

I suffer from extremes insomnia and I have a hard time keeping my sleeping hours and a healthy regular way, so I feel the same way everyone else does. The more I think about it the angrier I get.

If we all submit tickets, maybe they'll get the message.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:02 AM NST
At least that’s what I think, I fished with 15 pets but didn’t get the notification until I pulled 3 Surzard
by cabar20 on June 17, 2026 7:06 AM NST
Need to get three petpets IN A ROW?

What are the odds? lol
I can only fish scrolls and sticks
by allanmennezess on June 17, 2026 7:08 AM NST
The fishing thing definitely does not require you to catch a petpet. I didn't catch one and I'm sure most other people did not either.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:10 AM NST
Not sure if this had an impact, but I have pulled up at least 1 item from each of my 26 pets today. Half through the companion app then half through the main site. Nothing =/ I’m afraid to submit the Negg solution if that plays a factor since that’s only daily
by 00p5h311 on June 17, 2026 7:10 AM NST
Indeed, the 1st riddle is time sensitive, I finished it rn at 7 am NST and it did no good to get the string.
by aledrone on June 17, 2026 7:10 AM NST
You do not need to submit the negg solution to complete the quest for Orion. The pop-up should appear immediately upon accessing that page. It didn't even occur to me to submit the negg solution because I got what I wanted as soon as the page loaded.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:12 AM NST
I’m getting a message on the void within hub that they’ve “stepped out for a second to look at distribution problems” and neither riddle 1 or 3 are working when I follow the solutions.
by christenwrites on June 17, 2026 7:14 AM NST
Fishing must be broken then, I fished up 8 items and no pop up :")
by lily11111111111111 on June 17, 2026 7:17 AM NST
I got 3 fish in a row with different pets and solved the Negg puzzle but did not get the String. I refreshed and went back to the Hub, but nothing happened. I am at a loss. The riddle says success three times so I am not sure why JN's solution reads as 2.

I missed out on the Lunar Temple by a few seconds. 3 AM and I was slow to respond. Not sure if there is a version of the page that mitigates the end of flash? I cannot click on anything in its current state.

I battled with the new Blaster and only got a Voidberry Slorg Cupcake.
100% Achievements and Premium so got 2 Void PBs and 2 Void Blasters.

There appears to be 7 pages now for the Epilogue Chapter 19 but I cannot progress since I did not complete the String hunt.
by faellie_ridiculous on June 17, 2026 7:20 AM NST
Fished up 2 items in a row and got nothing.
Figured, maybe petpets and fish don't "count" as items. Continued until I fished up 2 rotten old boots (one left, one right) still nothing.
Idk if it's time sensitive or if there are specific items necessary.
by vikingunicorn on June 17, 2026 7:22 AM NST
hmm the fishing + negg cave didn’t work for me i had 3 pets go fish??
by labardoodle on June 17, 2026 7:24 AM NST
I think people are right it has to be fishing items up two days in a row.
I fished up like 18 items in a row with my 10,000 pets and got no popup, but I didn't do the tarot thing yesterday so I only have one day of fishing
by nightshadeswiftswing on June 17, 2026 7:25 AM NST
i fished up 3 items in a row at most. Still no Orion... 💦 At least riddle 1 is a little more managable for me, but I missed it the first time because I was in the loo...
by xrossbladeofthestars on June 17, 2026 7:27 AM NST

Hey Neopians! We've temporarily stepped out to look into some distribution errors. Please hang thight, we'll be back soon!
by raian44 on June 17, 2026 7:27 AM NST
for #3- I fished with all pets and got items for 6 of them yesterday before rollover. no orion. fished and got items with 2 of them today, and got an orion popup! echoing everyone else that it seems to be a multi-day thing (probably the "stare into the depths for days" part of the riddle)
by tygercan on June 17, 2026 7:28 AM NST
Perhaps "in a row" refers to the 12-hour cooldown BEFORE the day changes?

Example: 7 AM NST (now) and 7 PM NST

Because I fished yesterday, and again today, after about 18 hours, but I couldn't get the Orion to pop up.
by allanmennezess on June 17, 2026 7:31 AM NST
Yes, it definitely requires you to fish for at least 2 days. I fished yesterday and today and got it after catching only a few items. A seaweed and a fish. No petpets.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:31 AM NST
I fished yesterday too and still didn’t get it?
by silverstorm300 on June 17, 2026 7:35 AM NST
I just got the #3 riddle by fishing succesfully two times, not three. Although I changed the active pet with each catch, did not do it with the same one in both ocassions.
by galilea123_123 on June 17, 2026 7:41 AM NST
Fished yesterday and got 4 items in a row (stopped after that), tried again today with all 25 pets (all got items) and still no string popups. To be fair, two items doesn't make sense given the clue references the number three, but even 3 items in a row does not trigger the popups. I don't know if it's the type of items, rarity, etc. but it's not just 2 items (or 3, 4...25), it's not just 2 days, and it's not 2 items and 2 days. As for the Lunar clue...submitted a ticket asking them to add a noon timeslot, because 3 AM is unreasonable.
by ineffabledevil on June 17, 2026 7:42 AM NST
I fished with all 6 of my pets today and didn't get the string, so maybe we have to fish 2 days in a row after talking to Orion and revealing all the clues
by gamergirl33119 on June 17, 2026 7:42 AM NST
Here's what I think we know - anyone can correct me if I'm wrong:

* It does not require you to have a high fishing level
* It does not require you to catch anything fancy (I got mine from catching seaweed and fish)
* It requires you to catch something for at least two days in a row (I don't know of anyone who got it from fishing for one day)

There is likely another factor that we are not aware of. Either that or it is bugged for some people. (Whether the bug is that some people should not have gotten it yet but did after two days instead of three, or whether it is that some people should have gotten it but have not, I don't know.)
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:43 AM NST
Wait, I did have 3 sucessful catches but not in a row.
So I had a succesful catch yesterday with my Lupe (Got a petpet)
Today I tried with my Lupe again and failed.
Then, I changed to my Cybunny and got a catch (A boot)
Then, I changed immediately to my Ixi (Got a puddle)
And I got Orion's message pop up with my Ixi

It doesn't need to be 3 times in a row apparently
by galilea123_123 on June 17, 2026 7:44 AM NST
It is clearly not fish 2 items in a row. I just fished with 3 of my pets getting 3 items in a row. I hope JN staff corrects this, and/or indicate that it could be bugged/reqs may differ slightly from person to person
by robinsharma on June 17, 2026 7:45 AM NST
i fished an item up yesterday, and then several today and still didnt get it. i'll just try again tomorrow, i missed the lunar temple puzzle anyway and will have to wake up early for that
by iloveeevee on June 17, 2026 7:45 AM NST
Is it even possible to fish without your pet being the active pet? I don't get a window asking me which pet should fish, I just get a window that shows my active pet's fishing skill and a little button to click to reel it in.
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 7:46 AM NST
i am gonna become violent if tnt really made a riddle that is only solvable at four AM my time
but uh.... can anyone solve riddle 3? i got a breadfish and bucket of sludge, went to the moon puzzle.. nothing. then i decided to fish a third time, since the riddle mentions three times and.. got nothing either. uhhh
by volthrone on June 17, 2026 7:48 AM NST
What I'm most bummed about is the fact that I have to be up at 3 AM for the first one,,,
I'll have to wait until friday because I need to be a responsible adult sadly and work early
by galilea123_123 on June 17, 2026 7:48 AM NST
I'm also going to guess that fishing on the companion app doesn't help or qualify.
by afoolishfigment on June 17, 2026 7:52 AM NST
I got the pop-up after fishing twice in a row today (fished up a giant giant squid and a bath plug) but I did go fishing yesterday with 2 or 3 pets also, so part of the requirement might be 2 days in a row of fishing?

+1 annoyed that #1 is time locked, that's 3 AM to me. TNT does realize that most of it's players are people in different time zones, with jobs, right?
by larimar on June 17, 2026 7:52 AM NST
Haven't gotten 1 or 3 yet...
Fished 4 items with 4 diff pets. All rotten things.
Visited the links in #1 but Lunar Temple Flast is busted so maybe that's why it didn't work?
by samaanthag on June 17, 2026 7:53 AM NST
I got clue #3 today after fishing up two items (a Splime and an Obelisk of Doom) after fishing up one non-trash item yesterday (a Fractalpus) with my four pets all trying. I think it may require three items but only takes two days, unless something wasn't activated yesterday.
by verdego on June 17, 2026 7:58 AM NST
I can't get the fishing vortex to work either. I fished with 6 pets.
by rockchalkash on June 17, 2026 7:58 AM NST
@ allanmennezess no, no not in a row, I just got 3 petpets when fishing with all my pets. But others seem to have done that and not completed the riddle, so there's got to be another factor.

Can confirm it has nothing to do with your pets being painted Maraquan
by cabar20 on June 17, 2026 7:59 AM NST
Fishing Vortex not working for me either. Tried both 2 items in a row, then 3 items in a row. Nothing on the Fishing Vortex page, and nothing on the Mysterious Negg Cave either. Does having the "Neopets - Active Pet Switch & Fishing Vortex Plus" userscript break it? Or is it just down? I see a "We've temporarily stepped out to look into some distribution errors. Please hang tight, we'll be back soon!" alert on the TVW hub page after all…

by gasti21 on June 17, 2026 8:08 AM NST
I got riddle #3 by fishing with three of my pets, but I fished over the course of 2 days, with one on the first day and the other 2 on the second day. So it may be you have to fish 3 times but over at least 2 days to get the riddle solved.
by alakza on June 17, 2026 8:14 AM NST
I think Fishing Vortex has to be 3 items over at least 2 days. Yesterday I fished once with one pet, and then today I switched to another pet, and then another after that (getting all food items, a madfish and two blandfish) and got it.

I am going to be livid if the only time to get the first riddle is at midnight NST, even as someone who is sometimes up and still online at that hour.
by 0ms_morningstar0 on June 17, 2026 8:18 AM NST
Looks like prize distribution on the main hub page has been temporarily disabled--lots of of folks (myself included) reported getting extra void pbs etc. whenever they went to the hub page. TNT said to leave your extras alone while they look into it.

by cherryvixxen on June 17, 2026 8:37 AM NST

by jbecks on June 17, 2026 8:44 AM NST
1 & 3 aren't working for me either
by thrixxy on June 17, 2026 9:07 AM NST
people saying two days in a row for fishing, that's not it either, cause i fished yesterday and today and didnt get orion.
fished with all 16 of my pets today, only 2 of them didnt get anything, and still nothing. so i guess we'll see tomorrow.
by kach on June 17, 2026 9:22 AM NST

Just finished fishing with 11 of my pets, all of whom caught something and nada! I went fishing yesterday, too, with one pet as part of my dailies but don't recall whether I caught anything. Guess I'll try again tomorrow unless this task is updated otherwise.
by thighs1 on June 17, 2026 9:59 AM NST

Fishing isn't working. I fished up 6 in a row and no luck
by _sissiy_sis_369 on June 17, 2026 10:05 AM NST
The fishing requirements do not make sense. Does it need to be two in a row from one pet? By switching pets, I have had five in a row without any notice or pop up. Visiting the Negg cave puzzle after does nothing.
by emeraldleviathan on June 17, 2026 10:13 AM NST
I fished up 3 void plants, and it worked for me.
by limeyloo on June 17, 2026 10:13 AM NST
Got none of the final prizes, fished with 8 different pets and did not get the orion popup, and the first riddle's timing restriction is going to be a huge pain. Yayyy
by saraluna on June 17, 2026 10:14 AM NST
The fishing time is variable, for many two days of fishing was enough, apparently it’s a matter of luck. The only alternative is that if you fish too many times a day it won’t count, because the ones I’ve seen work fished once and then two or three times on the second day

dang lunar temple at 12 seemed to fit the riddle but I didnt think they'd give a step such a small window.
by inusfan on June 17, 2026 10:16 AM NST
Glad it's not just me whose riddles are broken. I fished and fished and got no popups at all. Really not looking forward to having to time the other one, either, assuming that one is working.
by spindleclown on June 17, 2026 10:20 AM NST
For anyone who also got effected by the duplication bug: the support person who responded to my ticket said to not touch the prize items while they look into things! Fingers crossed they can resolve this soon so people can get their stuff :')
by aneon on June 17, 2026 10:20 AM NST
Can someone please confirm if the riddles are paused or not? I don't want to have to wake up at 3am for #1 and then it doesn't even work!
by tasia13 on June 17, 2026 10:23 AM NST
Are any of us really surprised that this has turned into an absolute cluster?
by sasquatch253 on June 17, 2026 10:41 AM NST
I missed it?
by xxsinger on June 17, 2026 10:55 AM NST
Probably obvious, but I’m just going to set an alarm for 1:55 am, try the lunar temple, and go back to bed. Hopefully it works since I got the other 3
by faerie_boy on June 17, 2026 11:28 AM NST
DId they seriously make part of the epilogue quest only available for one specific set in stone minute of the day? Why?
by gazzletron on June 17, 2026 11:35 AM NST
explain like i'm dumb: is the fishing item two times in a row achievable doing it back to back immediately or do i do it once and then wait for the cooldown and then do it again?
by comic_mischief on June 17, 2026 11:36 AM NST
The steps for riddle number 3 are not working for me at all. Have tried everything including 2 other browsers. So sent a ticket. Is this glitched?
by molnarc on June 17, 2026 11:50 AM NST
Things like the Lunar Temple Riddle are why I roll my eyes when TNT adds a Poogle with a missing limb or other kinds of inclusion. It feels like lip service when they add a plot step that can only be accessed for a single minute in the middle of the night (in America).
by bacon on June 17, 2026 11:53 AM NST
Why is ~~anything~~ time sensitive? 12am? at night? Some of us have jobs.
by viistar on June 17, 2026 12:00 PM NST
12pm debunked. sigh. that would've been a good compromise had they allowed that option
by pale_raven on June 17, 2026 12:00 PM NST
The instruction for the fishing is inaccurate at the time I am writing this comment. Hope you remove it @Jellyneo
by folarah on June 17, 2026 12:03 PM NST
No 12pm Lunar Temple. And here I was starting to raise my opinion of the plot a little bit 'cause the ending wasn't bad, and the epilogue's riddles are the kind of thing I'd hoped to see more of in the plot, but having the solution for one of them be "visit a page during a literally one minute time window in the middle of the night for most of the player base" is a big fail.
by 0ms_morningstar0 on June 17, 2026 12:07 PM NST
Can confirm 12p NST didn’t work. Also, the fishing stmt is inaccurate. I just fished for the 3rd time today, only got 3 pets that were cooled down and still nothing. Will keep trying :’)
by 00p5h311 on June 17, 2026 12:09 PM NST
so I need to wake up at 3 am to complete #1! Not sure that will happen...
by kimberdigi on June 17, 2026 12:12 PM NST
Everyone complaining because supposedly TNT said it wouldn't be necessary to fight to get the achievements, the reality is that TNT said, after Act 1 and 2, that all achievements would be attainable so that no one would miss them. This only means that we would have more opportunities to get them, like the achievement for participating in events where we had 4 more chances to get that achievement. The achievements that depended on BD were obtainable but not handed out for free, in that aspect they didn't lie. Where they did lie was when they never gave the opportunity to get the first achievement again, which prevented 100% of Act 1.
by novad123 on June 17, 2026 12:15 PM NST
I genuinely think the 1 minute window thing has to be a mistake on TNT'S part. I just wish they would communicate better!! Tell us if this was intentional or not 🙃
by rowenstarchild on June 17, 2026 12:17 PM NST
This must be a glitch or an mistake. Hope they fix it
by xxsinger on June 17, 2026 12:19 PM NST
This website is torn between adults with full time jobs and children who aren't up at midnight PST or aren't able to just log in at a specific 1 minute time window. There's no way that was on purpose, if so they did NOT read the room, I swear they knew their audience
by rowenstarchild on June 17, 2026 12:19 PM NST
The clue fits the 1 minute window too well for it to have been a mistake imo, but it's absolutely wild to me that TNT didn't foresee? the natural massive backlash coming from their very worldwide playerbase at something being restricted to 1 minute during an incredibly inconvenient time for lots of people.
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:22 PM NST
Did anyone else just straight up not get any of their ending prizes?
by saraluna on June 17, 2026 12:23 PM NST
I'm pretty sure I refreshed at 12 am and didn't get it. Maybe it was just after?? Guess I'll try again tonight.
by litszy on June 17, 2026 12:34 PM NST
@everyone who can't believe tnt would do a time window like that:

are you forgetting the halloween sidebar?
by smaragdeidechse on June 17, 2026 12:38 PM NST
and the starry gelert pet one for an avatar
by niasaj on June 17, 2026 12:42 PM NST
I'm less surprised that they did it and more surprised at the idea they might be surprised at the backlash lol.
by kiriska on June 17, 2026 12:46 PM NST
i already sold or gave away my prize multiples, that mistake is on TNT
by labardoodle on June 17, 2026 12:49 PM NST
@smaragdeidechse and the deadly dice avatar, and the shooting star avatar *eyeroll* at this point they know the lion's share of their users are adults with responsibilities, so they have to know that something that occurs in the middle of the night for a majority of their player base is hella inconvenient. the halloween sidebar and deadly dice avatar, fine, those have been around for ages. but they continue to add things that occur only at midnight NST
by snix_snix on June 17, 2026 12:51 PM NST
For now, I'm assuming the fishing riddle isn't glitched, just has either some random element or some other component that some players do unprompted and others don't. Either way, JN shouldn't have that posted as the solution.
by neolikepets on June 17, 2026 12:57 PM NST
Please fix this: Everyone has to be wake up at 3 am EST time in the morning to do the first riddle, or else they will be already stuck on the first riddle. A huge number of Neopets users live in EST time zone. And the riddle implies that the timing is related to the moon, not to the sun.
by explorenewworlds300 on June 17, 2026 1:00 PM NST
Fished up 4 items, refreshed Mysterious Negg Cave 4 times, nothing happened :/
by acedemiro on June 17, 2026 1:29 PM NST
So... we FINALLY get a petpet fountain, but it can't do chocolate?? That is, imo, INCREDIBLY dumb, and also inconsistent, on Neo's part, since FFQ can do chocolate for neopets, despite that being a lab color. I see no reason why the PPFQ should not work the same way.

Imo the only petpet color that should justifiably be lab exclusive that you shouldn't be able to quest, should be Picnic.

Really hoping they'll change this so that chocolate will be a viable color, as it SHOULD be.
by mewmewrawr on June 17, 2026 1:31 PM NST
@explorenewworlds300 This!! Alienating sooo many players to a midnight NST timeline is crazy! A lot of players are elder players who have jobs, we're not up at 3am!
by xlynzerdzx on June 17, 2026 1:32 PM NST
2am my time...Um, how about NO.

It's irritating too because who knows if these are also limited AND we know they give out items, so of course the FOMO is once again real here. :/
by overboss on June 17, 2026 1:46 PM NST
Did anyone manage to complete any tasks today? Every time I open the page it says "Announcement!

And since yesterday I haven't been able to play Destruct-o-Match III. Every time I submit my score, an error message appears, no matter which mode I play, the same thing happens in all of them... Is anyone else experiencing this?
by neryss on June 17, 2026 2:03 PM NST
So uh I think the fishing one is inaccurate. As I fished up items yesterday with all my pets, then I went again today and bam, items for everyone and, nothing. So idk if it's certain items or, what.

by kibiwolf on June 17, 2026 2:35 PM NST
They should realize that those who still can't complete the third string all have in common that they've fished many times on the same day
by novad123 on June 17, 2026 2:47 PM NST
@neryss - it has to be the Destructo Match that you get to from the games page on mobile/convered site. If you access it through the old site or through a link or a favorite, it will not work.

by burntcookies on June 17, 2026 3:06 PM NST
I can do the Lunar Temple one but it's gonna have to wait till the weekend so I can stay up late (cause it's 3am my time lol)
by fozfyre on June 17, 2026 3:11 PM NST
So I'm guessing them saying "However, even then, repetition is key for they must lure in a success times three" means I have to fish 1 more time to make 3 catches.
by burntcookies on June 17, 2026 3:14 PM NST
I missed only one achievement (first week) and got the void kadoatie, and paintbrush. I also got a glitch when I went back to the hub page a second time and it gave me the prizes again. (Doubled both times for premium). Not sure what I did for the glitch though.
by bridancer105 on June 17, 2026 3:24 PM NST
I'm kind of laughing in European Time Zone over here about all those angry folks over at the neoboards. A lot of things are timed inconveniently for European times zones, and sometimes content or merchandise is not available at all. This is like that, and I can't help but feel "Yup. Welcome to the rest of the world". All the same, I'm rarely on the computer at midnight NST, but I should have a shot on Monday maybe. But I do think making things only available for such a short time interval isn't a wise decision.

hey guys just a quick update that today's release notes from TNT mention a bug being fixed for riddle 3 (the fishing riddle)

so hopefully we'll learn more soon about what the "true" requirements are and people who are not having luck unlocking it will be able to unlock it!

we've made some updates for the newspost and sorry for the bouts of confusion today as we tried to parse through solutions that worked for us jn staffers, people reporting their own experiences, etc and trying to figure out the answer!

turns out the answer is "it was glitched!" so stay tuned lol
by noileh on June 17, 2026 4:22 PM NST JN Staff
@pencilings that's just ridiculous to have to do when the rest of the plot was "do it on your own time" and not all of us want to HAVE to wake up at 3AM for this. We have work and such.
by pinkshinymuffin on June 17, 2026 4:28 PM NST
@noileh: Number 1 is still the same, right?
by jessalynn on June 17, 2026 4:46 PM NST
riddle 3 still not work, at least i didnt work for me, i wasted my last 4 pets and nothing.
and riddle 1 is still at midnight, guess TNT doesnt know what timezones are and think we are avaliable all day, i dont even care anymore, shame on them honestly
by koizumito on June 17, 2026 4:50 PM NST
Well, it's after the supposed fix to #3 and I've fished with most of my pets and even some pound adoptees, got 4 fish in a row without catching a bucket or other non-fish item.

Still did NOT trigger the pop up.

by firstlykissed on June 17, 2026 6:26 PM NST
I think by now we understand that whoever got the string quickly was actually a victim of a glitch. Probably the real way to achieve it is by successfully fishing three times in a row, during three cooldowns or three days.
by allanmennezess on June 17, 2026 6:29 PM NST
I'm a big fan of them using obscure pages! Also a 2nd Void PB showed up in my inventory today. I have no clue why, but I figured the people should know.
by coolkaius on June 17, 2026 6:35 PM NST
This is the first time I have ever bothered to fish with all 24 pets. Here's hoping tomorrow the string wants to come to meeee

I Fished with 3 pets - a Uni, and two water ones, a Maraquan Wocky and Peophin. Got three items and Orion popped up immediately. Did not need to go anywhere else.
by cabbil_bane on June 17, 2026 7:37 PM NST
I kept getting the dreaded "d'oh" and not being able to submit the score on Destruct-o-Match (went into to games page section) - so tried using the one on the opening page instead ... success and Orion popped up immediately, no need to go anywhere else.
by cabbil_bane on June 17, 2026 7:39 PM NST
Bug still not fixed!! Sick of fishing for nothing!!
by burntcookies on June 17, 2026 8:04 PM NST
@neryss - As I said before, if you are getting a score send error consistently then you are probably accessing the game through the wrong link. You have to access it through the new games page not through the old one. It has to be the HTML5 version of the game, not the old version. This was explained earlier in the thread.

https://www.neopets.com/games/h5game.phtml?game_id=1397
by neolodgeism on June 17, 2026 8:09 PM NST
I am absolutely not putting much effort into fishing until I decide if I am going to get up at 3 am to do the other remaining task. I appreciate everyone who keeps trying to keep the rest of us informed!!
by semper_femina on June 17, 2026 8:14 PM NST
hey y'all, the fishing bug could definitely be fixed! we don't know what the glitch was, so we don't really have the information to speculate if it was or wasn't fixed.

for example, maybe the glitch was that people were already able to unlock it and anyone who has been successful was actually experiencing the glitch (so in this case, it was a favorable glitch for some people).

we know the riddle mentions something about three so it's possible it's 3 days in a row or something similar, and so anyone who already has it (only 1-2 days) got it early through the glitch, and anyone who doesn't have it is actually "on track" and experiencing the event as TNT intended.

we probably won't know for another day or two what the true solution is seeing as nobody's really been having success tonight
by noileh on June 17, 2026 8:45 PM NST JN Staff
To keep my sanity I'm just going to consider the fishing one "random" and just wait for it to appear whenever I fish as part of my dailies.
by crabbyb0tter on June 17, 2026 9:57 PM NST
Noticed an error on the Jellyneo item page for the Void Quantum Blaster. It claims the item does not break if it does 10 icons, but mine breaks every other turn or so, and it always does 10 dark icons.

@fiatnox: You do not need to do the Lunar Temple puzzle. Just opening the page before heading to the puzzle (so before clicking "I propose a challenge to test your skills") is enough.

Well I have fished yesterday, and twice today(as although it was during the glitch) with all my 20 pets and even got a third round of items fished and nothing has popped up yet. Finally got the first riddle done, never received a pop up at the temple but I did when I went to the pit so 3 down 1 to go, hopefully later today which will be the third day something will happen

by burntcookies on June 18, 2026 12:07 AM NST
Whatever you do, do not attempt the Lair of the Beast step on mobile. The lyre is not guaranteed to appear on the viewable area of your screen.

It's not like with essence collection where the essences show up only in the viewable area of the screen. The lyre shows up even on parts of the screen that you cannot see, and it's basically impossible to complete on mobile in my opinion.

Which is really annoying because it means I'm going to have to wait to re-attempt it until the day after tomorrow.
by neolodgeism on June 18, 2026 12:08 AM NST
I remembered at EXACTLY 132am, off, almost had to wait another 24 hours.

BUT...I still have to cause the lyre thing on the lair of the beast? It disappears TOO FAST. I'm not sure I'll ever get it in time even once...and you have to do it 5 times? UGH. How. they better keep this available for a looong time.

Maybe I should try on my phone if it fails again with the mouse on my computer. I just wish we didn't have to wait 24 hours between tries.

Strange, I visited the Lunar Temple just now (As many are advised to, visiting the entrance, not the puzzle itself.), & got the string award. Despite that it was like, 12:08:XX or something?
I guess it's some grace?

No fish one yet still. Can your pets be in the neolodge? Do you think that makes a difference, like should I pull them out?
by seven_dead_owls on June 18, 2026 12:11 AM NST
Got the first riddle even if the second page remained blank because of the OBVIOUS abnormal lag.

Still no fishing riddle even if this is the second day with at least three of my pets fishing something continuosly.

@neolodgeism I might just have no chance (although I'll probably try everything if I continue to fail). I can't imagine myself being quick enough 5 times. And even on a computer, that first lyre was almost out of the lair's zone, very far up on a corner.

Completed lunar temple riddle @ 12:15 AM NST
by rowsay on June 18, 2026 12:16 AM NST
Got to the lunar temple at 12:15 seems the window has been expanded, likely to help with load times.
by inkstone on June 18, 2026 12:16 AM NST
another confirmation on the Lunar Temple!! 2 days of fishing with all pets and zilch, will see if the third day makes the magic happen
by incantai0n on June 18, 2026 12:18 AM NST
Fishing:
Lvl 323 needed to be more patient
Lvl 2 got giant red kelp
Lvl 14 got a water mote and a lvl increase
Lvl 2 got a brown kelp and lvl
Lvl 247 got a brown kelp
Lvl 4 got a rotten right shoe
Lvl 22 got a small giant squid and a lvl
Lvl 233 got a radarfish
Lvl 2 got a lesser spotted fish.

No Orion in sight.
by woodstocki on June 18, 2026 12:19 AM NST
Finished off the clues (can confirm midnight NST works at the lunar temple, though I hope they revisit that to make it more accessible; caught a 3rd thing with the same pet at the fishing vortex so can confirm it's 3. Just have to wait for your pet's fishing cooldown)

Question though - is there any more after vois!Kass grabs his sword? That grey 'next' button is making me second guess...
by goldennightfox on June 18, 2026 12:20 AM NST
Does this not all SCREAM Defenders of Neopia to anyone else? Come on TNT!
by nyxbie on June 18, 2026 12:22 AM NST
At this point I hope TNT just changes the Fishing Vortex so that you, for one time only, just literally fish up Orion XD

Well dung.... I've fished every day with all my pets and gotten items each time but no riddle part... tired again just now and I guess it's still in cool down from the afternoon because I got the patience/wait thing, I hope that doesn't reset anything? It's bizarre seems like half get it and half don't despite doing the same thing
by seven_dead_owls on June 18, 2026 12:26 AM NST
I'm so over all of the RNG things on this site. I've been playing for more than 25 years and there are RNG avatars I still don't have because the RNG here hates me. Thing the epilogue to a random chance is utterly ridiculous. Making players worldwide stay up for a 1 minute window (although it appears they extended it tonight to be a little longer) is ridiculous. This plot already lasted far too long as it was.
by dkeeperr1983 on June 18, 2026 12:32 AM NST
I found this on Reddit, looks like it explains the Kadotie thing, or lack thereof. What's this new daily, though? Do they mean the Lair of the Beast?

by mizz_meanie on June 18, 2026 12:53 AM NST
i still think it's absolutely stupid that people who have done absolutely everything are MISSING OUT on a prize rather than getting an extra one. i dont care about the blaster, i wanted the kad. we should have gotten kad+blaster, not kad OR blaster. stupid.
by kach on June 18, 2026 1:24 AM NST
@kach: You can farm the kads (in addition to morphing potions and paintbrushes) using the blaster. Got 8 kads yesterday in 100 battles.

stormmonarch: i mean sure, but i shouldnt have to grind for it lol.
by kach on June 18, 2026 1:32 AM NST
It looks like once you have the lyre charged up from getting the strings, the day after you finish the last step with the beast, you can go back in, do the minigame again, and grab a prize. It's a new daily activity.

This one is no longer plot related though, so it doesn't qualify for double prizes.
by weirdee on June 18, 2026 1:51 AM NST
Still nothing on the fishing, 10 out of 11 pets fished some garbage up and I do as a daily before this plot step so 3rd day, or 2nd depending on how they count it. I really wished they would let us finish this plot and be done with it.
by bearden61 on June 18, 2026 2:15 AM NST
Got Regal Warrior Techo Armour from Lair of the Beast daily
by ravenclaw_whitewolf on June 18, 2026 4:19 AM NST
Still nothing here… I wonder if the bug was that some others got it too early. I have 26 pets. Each have fished up something 1-2 times per day over the last 2… I’ll keep trying though 😭😭😭😭

Thanks so much!
by thighs1 on June 18, 2026 6:14 AM NST
If we exclude Day 1 Fishing (fished before clues were read), fished up 12 items with 12 pets on Day "1" (Day 2), and 12 items on Day "2" (Day 3). Still not popup, nothing on Negg. So wondering if as someone theorised it is a 3-Day fishing thing and others were getting it early with the glitch. Fishing skills anywhere bwetween 0-400+. Items fished today:

Mundo
Bucket of Sludge
Chaosfish
Rotting Driftwood
Spectral Shrimp
Watery Hot Dog
Tanglepus
Prismatic Sea Fern
Slimy Bog Scroll
Scroll of the Sea x 2
Giant Red Kelp

I only wake up at 1am NST and got the Lunar Temple clue. I don't rememeber the exact time bc I didn't notice the drama around it. But it's definitely not only 1 minute daily. Maybe minutes like 0:00, 1:01, 2:02, 3:03 etc? Might worth a try.

Fishing Vortex still not working for me. Beyond ticked off with it.

Well, 6 items in a row obtained from fishing this morning. Still no popup. And it is day 3 for me.
I give up, this is bs. How incredibly frustrating.
by cute_an_crazy on June 18, 2026 7:53 AM NST
Still no fishing for me either. Guess I'll wait till some clever people solve the riddle once and for all so I can get it then!
by usurpagreen on June 18, 2026 8:16 AM NST
No luck with the Fishing Vortex here neither
by maninshi on June 18, 2026 8:28 AM NST
I wonder if the fishing one is that you have to get 3 successes in a row with the same pet? I have fished three times with the same pet but I checked back too soon for the 3rd fishing attempt and got a failure in between... since there is a cooldown of up to 12 hours, that would mean while you could get lucky and get it quicker, you might want to wait 12 hours betweeen attempts
by umbra on June 18, 2026 8:47 AM NST
Still no luck for the fishing for me
by thrixxy on June 18, 2026 8:48 AM NST
Or... maybe you have to fish up like 3 actual fish items? idk.

Wow thanks TNT, now instead of having to be up at 3 AM, now I can be up from 3 AM to 4 AM

No luck with the fishing for me either. This morning I fished with all 24 of my pets and still nothing.

Fished like 4 different times. Multiple pets bringing stuff back but still nothing.
by grgarveylevin on June 18, 2026 9:39 AM NST
Maybe the Riddle In Fishing vortex Is broken too. Makes me wonder If ads and the website's ad bloc window popping up are somehow restraining the riddle from popping up. Would not be surprised because I think I saw It happen some time In the past, though I don't remember what exactly It was, besides being obnoxious and stressful

by rowsay on June 18, 2026 10:17 AM NST
@maninshi -- I have premium (so no ads) and cannot get the fishing clue prompted. I have tried with 20 pets 3 days in a row and have caught soooo many fish and still nothin'. So I don't think that is causing the issue for you! I feel like it's just broken still
by reckless4romance on June 18, 2026 10:18 AM NST
Riddle #2 isn't working for me. I just sent a score of 1216 on Destruct-O-Match III and then visited the Magma Pool and nothing happened. I am definitely playing the correct version of Destruct-O-Match III because I clicked through from JN. What a freaking joke.

People are saying "there's a new daily for people who finish the epilogue", and... I didn't see this at all when I completed it. Does anyone know what it is? Or is this just an unsubstantiated rumour?
by sakaarson on June 18, 2026 12:18 PM NST
@maninshi I don't think ads are the problem. There are 2 people in my household who both have premium. Riddle 3 worked for 1 and not the other. The one who didn't get it copied what the one who did do it, this issue feels random.
by larimar on June 18, 2026 12:18 PM NST
@sakaarson the new daily is Lair of the Beast. I think it gives you an item each day you visit it. There's a 24 hour cool down between getting items. I can't remember if I got an item when I unlocked it last night, but trying again today has a timer saying it's too early to go again.
by larimar on June 18, 2026 12:21 PM NST

by itsmaritzi on June 18, 2026 12:27 PM NST
2nd day/try, Fished up 6 items with 6 different pets, didn't get any Orion prompts.

2nd day/try, went to Lunar Temple, did phase of the moon thing, nothing happened.

Tired and angry at staying up until 3+ AM for this riddle garbage. Who at TNT thought this timed event was a good thing? At this point all I want is a decent night's sleep and I don't care if "evil takes over Neopia".

I hate Orion. I hate whatever is possessing Orion. I hate this annoying 'assemble-the-lyre' thing. I hate his music.
Can't TNT just let this plot finally end? This entire plot has just been a miserable experience, and getting only 1 of 3 prizes at the end for suffering through years of the entire plot was really unfair as well. I really wanted the Void Kad.

Guys, first Trudy's Surprise doesn't wanna work, and now I got this pop-up when I want to play Sakhmet Solitaire III: "Your browser does not support WebGL.".
by jessalynn on June 18, 2026 1:10 PM NST
another round of fishing with all 26 pets.. nothing...
by kakorie on June 18, 2026 1:25 PM NST
Still stuck on fishing. Tomorrow trying an experiment where I fish once per day with one Neopet. In theory, if the only requirement is fishing successfully three times in a row, by Sunday I should get the pop-up.

Not that I think I have much of a choice. There's a little known glitch with Ye Olde Fishing Vortex that sometimes two Neopets times sync up so only one of them can successfully fish. For a long time my Fire Lupe and Ice Bori had been synced, and now I think my Cloud Wocky synced with them.

Honestly, mainly because of the glitch, I think the Ye Olde Fishing Vortex needs a small revamp. I think using a similar setup they did for the Hospital Volunteering would work pretty well. There's no reason to have the guess work on when we could fish next, just give us a timer of the next time we can fish. Maybe even reveal there's actually multiple fishing pools which, depending on your Neopets fishing level, they can fish in but you're then put on a longer return timer.

Aw, so if the Lair of the Beast is a new daily, does that mean you can't see the screamer any more? That was one of the best parts of the site, lol.
by sakaarson on June 18, 2026 4:20 PM NST
hmm, third day in a row fishing with my main pet since the riddle came out and didnt get the popup. i think i did have a failed attempt in there, though, so if it's "three in a row [no failures]" that might be why...? i fished with three pets today and that didn't do it either. maybe tomorrow! my insomnia has been pretty bad lately so i might be able to do the lunar temple one at least.
by sentehisshou on June 18, 2026 4:55 PM NST
@neryss There is an extension called Ruffle that helps Flash things work (if you need them to). But you just need to visit the Lunar Temple midnight NST to 1 a.m. NST to get the popup. Not actually play the game, so you don't have to install it to complete it.

I wonder how many players live EST time? Like what percentage of the playerbase needs to get up at 3am (let alone any other unrealistic time)? Seems like a major oversight.

(Also no fishing for me either lol....maybe it needs to be specific things fished up?)
by ukoku on June 18, 2026 5:03 PM NST
wow, so riddle 1 (and by extension, another avatar and daily) is locked behind a time-based requirement.... TNT, have you heard of time zones? I absolutely cannot manage being awake at 3am for this, so what am I supposed to do? Have an eternally incomplete plot epilogue? Travel around the world to be in a better timezone? Why not simply make this riddle work at noon PST too? at least it might make things a bit fairer and easier for players around the world....
by dalekruler on June 18, 2026 5:04 PM NST
and still no fishing for me either, but since I can't do riddle 1, I'm less pressured about completing riddle 3...
by dalekruler on June 18, 2026 5:05 PM NST
I never even thought to consider the HTML5 versions. & also, wow, trying the HTML5 version of Destruct-o-Match III after playing the original version.... The difference is night & day.
Also, that "D'oh, can't send in offline mode" IIRC, has been present for months. I'm not sure they intend to fix it. I wonder if it was just something that happened when they were testing for this part of TVW or something & then just left it as is or something?
Either way, it's a very annoying bug, because i'm a huge fan of DOMIII. Love its atmospheric noises.
Though, funnily, even with this plot ending, I'm still burned, in large part due to the new feature of a reoccurring alert that's been driving me insane to the point of all-but-depleting my will to do Neo stuff....


Anyway, pardon all that randing: Does anyone have the full text of the riddle(s)? Riddle 3, especially.
Could it be time sensitive? Like, at 3 AM or 3 PM, NST? Or maybe at 3 minutes in or 3 seconds into any hour/minute? Or maybe you need to fish up 3 special items?

Yknow, I deal with frustrating crap at work all day long, and to have to deal with it on a game that is supposed to be fun is ridiculous. What child do you know that is going to be allowed to stay up till ridiculous o'clock in order to finish the 1st riddle? I would have thought that the end of the stupid plot should be less difficult than fighting the final boss. Seriously, does TNT pay attention to the players, because it sure seems like they don't.
by myriamele on June 18, 2026 6:22 PM NST
idk i stayed up til 3am to create a hissi back in the day when limited pets were only released in batched randomly throughout the day and if you missed out you had to wait a year. this is nothing compared to that.
by jjotterbear on June 18, 2026 6:29 PM NST
from what I gather of rereading the clue for number three you have to fish three days in a row and catch something three days in a row at least that's what I think
by shyellcoo on June 18, 2026 6:30 PM NST
I just got the pop-up at 7:43:33 PM NST after fishing. Maybe it has to do with the ending time which is x:x3:33?
by vaexio on June 18, 2026 7:48 PM NST
I got the pop-up for the fishing - I'm only really on once a day so it took me three days, but in all cases I caught something with one pet. After my first try, I tried fishing right away after but didn't get anything, so doesn't seem that it's a streak that can be broken by not getting something.
by silentexplorer on June 18, 2026 8:18 PM NST
Interesting, going to try the :33 @vaexio!

- If a kid realllly wants to get it, they’ll find a way. That’s part of being a kid.
Also part is not getting everything you want immediately.

I’d say it balances out between what I can achieve now as an adult vs. missing out on things I once spent many hours attempting. Kinda neat.

@neryss there Is a guide In Jellyneo where you open the Lunar Temple's... source code, was It? (In a computer you right click and click It. For reference find thay lunar temple guide In Jellyneo ). In It you gotta search "anglekreludor" and It'll give a value between 0 and 360, and whatever It gives you divide It by 22.5, and whatever the results that'll Indicate which moon you gotta press....

by pawlie_gray on June 18, 2026 9:00 PM NST
logged in to Neo on my phone and have the Lunar Temple and Bubbling Pit tabs open, 3am alarm is set, and I expect this to take maybe 30 seconds and I can go back to sleep. considering what I've done for other avatars (von Roo...) this isn't that much commitment.

but that fishing one, I'd like to get it. I've fished three days in a row, but one of those days was before TNT's patch. we'll see if tomorrow gives any results.

I just went fishing with my main pet today and the window popped up. I had fished yesterday with my main pet, and the day before I fished with seven pets.

Did every single thing in the plot got no Kad and now I cant finish what a joy they never answer emails. suggestions?????????
by katerinx on June 19, 2026 12:03 AM NST
@katerinx: You don't have to complete the Lunar puzzle in order for Orion to show up. He shows up on the first page of the Lunar Temple, before clicking "I propose a challenge to test your skills" (for which you don't *need* Flash, by the way :3).
by apophis324 on June 19, 2026 12:12 AM NST
Still a nope on riddle 3 for me. I really start to wonder what TNT's *intended* solution was. Why is it so finicky? And if they can alter the requirements for the first riddle (changing the time from one minute to one hour after midnight), why can't they alter the parameters of the third riddle as well?
by apophis324 on June 19, 2026 12:16 AM NST
I tried to do a ticket on Neopets and it keeps telling me my email address is incorrect. So I can not even make a ticket.

Does the page where the window matter? Usually I fish by just having one of pets go to the vortex and then switch pets, and refresh the "catch" page.
by zabilac on June 19, 2026 12:22 AM NST
it never showed up for me after refreshing multiple times, on the lunar temple from 12am until 1201am and just incase I missed the pop up I went to the bubbling pit and nothing.... the riddle page never changed
by katerinx on June 19, 2026 12:22 AM NST
I am seriously surprised at how upset other seem to be about the 3 AM thing on this one. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me compared to other things Neo has done in the past. Set an alarm, do something for 2 minutes one time, go back to sleep. Not a huge issue. Especially since this isn't time bound - we can all wait for the weekend, do it in a month, etc. Who cares.

I am looking forward to when the fishing thing is figured out. I'm going to keep idly trying on my own to get it, but I expect that one day we will actually know what triggers getting that one and I can just follow the guide at that time. No luck yet.

Finally got all the strings then had a new problem, three of them were not attached to the page. Made sure they were in my inbox, revisited the Magma Pool, Orion then popped up so was able to attach that one by going back to Chapter page. Not such luck at Kreludan Mining or Bubbling Pit - despite revisits In the end I played with one of the strings with one of my pets and then completely redid the Fishing Hole visit. Orion did not pop up. Nothing. So decided to check the Chapter ... and suddenly it had moved to the next page and I could see the Lyre ... no idea what happened, but am really happy I am there!
by cabbil_bane on June 19, 2026 1:03 AM NST
So, finally got the lyre for fishing vortex. What worked for me was fishing three times with the same pet (don´t know if the time had something to do but I always did it between 12 and 1am NST), and then Orion poped up. For the beast cave, the lyres that appeared weren´t that fast to dissapear so all good!
by majomartinez on June 19, 2026 1:34 AM NST
Hmmm… no riddle pop-up for fishing. Gonna log what I catch with each pet every day here so we can maybe figure out whether there’s a trend that trigger it:

1. Frozen mechafish
2. Old rotten left shoe
3. Healing springs residue
4. Rotten beetroot
5. Water mote
6. Broken fishing pole
7. Old rotten left boot
8. Broken fishing pole

by crabbyb0tter on June 19, 2026 2:20 AM NST
I suspect they reset the "counter" when they fixed the bug. Since I've started fishing before the fix, the "first" day (17th of june) doesn't count anymore. The third day should be tomorrow... let's hope this is the key to solve the riddle

by gasti21 on June 19, 2026 5:25 AM NST
i accidentally went fishing too early, pretty sure that breaks my streak T___T ughhhh
though i'm wondering if each pet has a separate eligible streak (so i could still get it with another pet tmrw? i made several of them fish the past days) or if it's just one for all. wish we knew more about this riddle
by iloveeevee on June 19, 2026 5:29 AM NST
On the riddle #3, I have tried fishing with all the pets, for 2 days; nothing! My great niece got in her account, checked her daily quests, fishing was in, so she went there first.... got an item, it inmediately triggerd the Orion link, went to the negg cave and got the string, all this at 5am Nepian time, of course she doesnt have the first one because she is NOT getting up at 2am. So now we are both frustrated.

Third consecutive day fishing and still no luck completing Riddle #3. T_T
by himmicca on June 19, 2026 6:18 AM NST
I got riddle 3 this morning by catching a Cubic Sea Fungus so it seems pretty clear it's 3 days in a row and doesn't need to be exclusively fish.

Additionally, the same pet that fished me the fungus fished too early and missed earlier in the day and that didn't break my streak
by muftywastaken on June 19, 2026 6:18 AM NST
I fished with my main active pet and was told to be more patient, switched to second pet and got a broken fishing pole and and the pop-up with Orion. So I think it has more to do with getting something 3 days in a row. I usually only fish with my main pet and it wasn't until this quest started that I would switch to my other pets and today would be day 3 of me trying to fish with my other pets.
by marikmalik4ever on June 19, 2026 6:41 AM NST
Riddle 3 is still eluding me. I use my main pet and swapped and still nothing.
by rarehunternick33 on June 19, 2026 7:05 AM NST
I finally got the fishing riddle!!! Thanks @marikmalik4ever, my main pet also got told to be more patient and I was worried that would break my streak, but after reading your comment I just switched her to another, fished, and got the popup!!!
At this point I'm pretty sure it's just "fish three days in a row". Because this is only the second time this other pet fished something during the riddle period, so it can't be "fish three days in a row with the same pet"

Three days later...no luck STILL.
by jessalynn on June 19, 2026 7:34 AM NST
The fishing has also got to be linked to a certain time of the day, perhaps? For successful people, what times do you normally fish?

fished three days in a row with multiple pets, still nothing, however i did get birthday cupcake pop ups on two of them whose birthdays are both in may ?
by honeyburnt on June 19, 2026 8:18 AM NST
been fishing EVERY day since launch, didn't get anything, tried marik and morna's approach but nothing happened. I tried with almost all my pets except for yesterday and maybe one other day

it's not just three days in a row
by smaragdeidechse on June 19, 2026 8:32 AM NST
I fished today, 3rd day in a row with just my active (didn’t try other pets at any point) at 08:28 Neo time, caught a Golden Mechafish and got the pop up.

what are the odds symol hole or grave danger have anything to do with it?
by smaragdeidechse on June 19, 2026 8:34 AM NST
I'm thinking maybe you have to fish some special items up and not garbage lol but I don't know
by samaanthag on June 19, 2026 8:55 AM NST
maybe it has to be precisely the same pet three times in a row. i've definitely gotten something three times in a row on multiple pets, and have had the same pet fish successfully three days in a row, but with my other pets getting stuff inbetween. so maybe you have to fish with only one pet, and fish successfully three times in a row, so without getting the "maybe you should be more patient" result.
by kach on June 19, 2026 9:03 AM NST
(i havent gotten orion yet, to be clear, so i think im gonna try just fishing with one pet instead of all of mine now)

@smaragdeidechse so i’ve been trying with all my pets for the past few days. The first two pets i tried got the too soon message but then my third pet fished up the kelp and got the pop up

I can confirm that the third puzzle is not about fishing with multiple pets. I did it with all 26 of mine and the pop-up did not appear.

I've fished three days in a row with my pet (it's a daily I do every day), fished something up each time, and nada.
by gigglingdeath on June 19, 2026 3:04 PM NST
If it's fishing 3 days in a row with the same or multiple pets, then there is definitely a bug with the pop-up.
by 1776 on June 19, 2026 3:08 PM NST
I think you have to not have fished and gotten the "Nothing! Maybe you should be patient" pop up. Going to see if that's the trick tomorrow and Sunday. I definitely did that the first day and the 2nd and I haven't gotten the riddle yet. Plus that makes sense, it ties in with the riddle
by beffy on June 19, 2026 4:23 PM NST
I GOT IT!

I think it might be "Fish with your Level 3 Fishing Skill pet."
by 1jediboy on June 19, 2026 4:28 PM NST
I love how riddle 3 is still super busted and there is no clear answer on how what when where or why the pop up triggers with all out data points...I've fished with every pet I have 3 days in a row and no dice...I'm at a loss and don't have the patience to keep up with the neverending TNT nonsense that is involved in this plot....
by swimmer913 on June 19, 2026 4:46 PM NST
So I got the fishing one when my pet leveled up to 63. Not sure if it's because it had a 3 in it or because it's divisible by 3.
by queenbibbles on June 19, 2026 4:59 PM NST
Many of my pets were at level 3 today also several others divisible by 3 and I have not gotten it. It's also the third day of fishing for me.

I feel like there is some additional requirement like some specific item or set of items. Or maybe getting nothing from any pet means you have to start all over?
by litszy on June 19, 2026 6:01 PM NST
What makes the most sense right now is that it needs to be with the same Neopet, three fishing trips in a row, without breaking the streak. What I've done a lot and seen people do is: 1) Change the Neopet (breaks the streak) and/or 2) Fish before the time is up and receive the patience message (breaks the streak). So the secret might be to WAIT more than 15 hours to fish again WITHOUT changing the Neopet.
by allanmennezess on June 19, 2026 6:13 PM NST

my other pet is lv3. fished something and didnt get it. i broke my streak with my other pet (lv353), so i'll try with the lv3 one 3 days in a row i guess. but if i get a level up i'll also be SOL lol.
by kach on June 20, 2026 2:57 AM NST
The fishing is really frustrating. It's been 3 days I've fished with all of my pets. Nothing is working to unlock it. I feel like the meme with Squidward looking at SpongeBob and Patrick having fun because everyone else is unlocking this and it won't work for me.
by fionathehippo on June 20, 2026 3:57 AM NST
i got the pop up with a pet with a fishing level of 7, he pulled up an Old Rotten Right Shoe
by zammitsar on June 20, 2026 3:57 AM NST
Also it would be great if TNT would fix fishing to start with. Some of my pets are tied to each other. I have 26 pets and can only fish on 20 of them because the 6 pets left are locked to some of the other's cool downs.
by fionathehippo on June 20, 2026 4:01 AM NST
If it helps I got it a couple of days ago before they updated it, but I fished with my main fishing lvl 16 pet on day one and then day 2 with my second pet active, and then my third pet active and then got it.
by rowenstarchild on June 20, 2026 4:44 AM NST
The items were all different, two different fish and one rotten shoe. Second pet was level 2 and third pet was level 1. Again, unless the requirements were completely changed, this goes against what others have discovered 🙃

Noticed on the guild I belong to that we have getting a lot of unhappy guild members unable to get this string and asking for advice. Feel sorry for them as there does not appear to any clear pattern - beginning to suspect this may be a randomly awarded one, The only continuous factor seems to be that the Fishing Pool needs to be visited at least 3 times in a row on a daily basis. Have you lovely folks at Jellyneo spotted any patterns yet that can help struggling folk?
by cabbil_bane on June 20, 2026 6:07 AM NST
I love my friends but seeing them going on about the epilogue and the names dropped etc makes me feel very down because its not a matter of anything more then rng it seems? being held hostage by fishing is frustrating since I have no idea what am doing right, wrong, is it just random luck? When neo 'fixed' something did they maybe break something for others?
by niasaj on June 20, 2026 6:10 AM NST
Still nothing from fishing with the same pet for 4 days and another pet for 3 days. And can't get the first one unless I decide to get up in the middle of the night , and that is not likely to happen....

3rd day in a row of fishing with the same pet (after the reset) and pulling up something and I still didn't get it. Assuming at this point it is entirely random.
by dkeeperr1983 on June 20, 2026 7:09 AM NST
Finally got the last one today after fishing BEFORE going to the mysterious negg cave. I usually solve the negg puzzle first and do the fishing later and maybe that's messing it up? First pet today was too early and got the pop up on the 2nd pet I tried. Maybe fishing has to be done before solving the puzzle?
by kilyco on June 20, 2026 7:19 AM NST
Never done the puzzle of mysterious negg and didnt get anything at all from fishing 4 consecutive days.

I am seriously annoyed, I have already woke up at 4 am to do Riddle one.
And now we are all wandering without knowing what to exactly do for Riddle 3, because everyone is getting it with no pattern AT ALL. It looks completely random and no word from TNT despite the users' anger for this neverending plot.

I will stop doing everything suppose to do for riddle 3. When TNT deigns to do things right with this riddle, I'll come back to this. But until then, I don't plan on wasting any more of my time with this matter.

by undeadfox on June 20, 2026 8:52 AM NST
Still trying to get Orion for the fishing. Fished with all pets now since the start of that riddle. Got with everyone an item. I will be not happy if that is random because it takes literally a LONG time for my account to get ANY random avatar. Some even years. Why did they "fix" something. Huge sigh.
by justicar1 on June 20, 2026 9:29 AM NST
i've fished every day since the epilogue released with multiple pets, got items every time, and no pop-up. come onnnnnnnnn tnt
by emocarrot on June 20, 2026 10:03 AM NST
This epilogue just became the same schtick as Haunted Woods Hunt. Instead of Hungry Fungus and Its other element that barely ever drops along, It's a riddle that might randomly pop up, with the same low rates of ever happening.
by maninshi on June 20, 2026 10:28 AM NST
I've still not been able to get the fishing one to work, but here's a thing that might do the trick: Before you fish, visit Orion's page. Maybe that'll somehow let the game know that you came for the riddle. It may be a coincidence, but this worked for my brother apparently..
by apophis324 on June 20, 2026 10:37 AM NST
The fishing thing is legit distressing me. I'm on the spectrum and do not want any more performative nonsense like t-shirt items "celebrating" my neurodivergence, I just want an unbroken site that I can play without my spectrum disorder getting triggered every five seconds. I've been playing for almost 25 years and this stupid Orion thing is what's sending me over the edge. FFS.

I went to the story page with orion on the void hub first, then went to fish.
pet 1 lvl 3 has been used for at least 3 days in succession with no other pets used. Got a level + a lesser spotted fish, no pop up. I decided to try other pets again.
pet 2 lvl 323 rotten beetroot
#3, lvl 2: old rotten right shoe +lvl
#4 lvl 15: rotten beetroot
#5 lvl 3: bland fish
#6 lvl 247: mossy rock
#7 lvl 4 left boot + lvl
# 8 lvl 23 stagnant puddle of water
#9 lvl 233 Lesser spotted fish.

ANYONE WHO CAN'T GET THE FISHING TO WORK: I've been fishing every day, tons of my pets went fishing, NO pop-up on the Fishing Vortex page. None. BUT! I just went back to the Void Within/Orion page where the riddles are, and even with NO pop-up at the Fishing Vortex, the next stage of the riddle had filled itself in! This means I "got" the fishing part solved, and could proceed straight to the Mysterious Negg Cave and got the last string. So before you fish anymore, check your riddle page and see if the next part of riddle 3 filled in or if it's still question marks! If it filled in, try going to the Negg Cave now!
by tonivenus on June 20, 2026 3:54 PM NST
^ This just worked for me too, thank you! Who knows how long I’ve been fishing uselessly for.
by husbean on June 20, 2026 3:59 PM NST
OK, I just got the string for Riddle 3, and I think what I’ve found is more confusing than anything. All day today, at 3 hour or so intervals, I have fished with all 14 of my pets, swapping them on the welcome screen and just tab swapping and refishing. All of them. Just now, I did all 14, probably only 3 of them actually have me items, not in order whatsoever, plenty of fails inbetween, and I didn’t get a popup, but when I went to the Mysterious Negg Cave and refreshed, BOOM! String and Popup. I don’t know what happened, but I can confirm in my case:
- Pet Swaps do not matter
- ‘Be patient’ Fails do not matter
- Fished up item does not matter (2 trash, 1 fish)
- Streak does not matter.
I don’t know if it’s time locked or what, but man they screwed this up, I was scared it wouldn’t pop for me in time for Tuesday, but KEEP TRYING! It could just be luck, and I have a feeling that’s just the case.
by pearldolll on June 20, 2026 3:59 PM NST
I also just got it, no pop up during fishing though so I don't know what did it. maybe three level ups on the same day? or at least one level up three days in a row? three fished up items ending in "fish"? it is a mystery. glad to be done though
by smaragdeidechse on June 20, 2026 4:14 PM NST

Well the one thing I did differently was that I went fishing with all my pets on every 3 or so hours. Surprisingly, one or two of them fished out something In such a short spawn of time. I believe I never saw It happen :o

So yeah, I reeled out like 4 times today with my 10 pets.

Fishing three days in a row pulling up a catch. No pop up at the vortex for me but went to the negg cave anyway and got the string

I wish we at least had the option of completing #1 riddle either between 12AM-12:01AM OR 12PM-12:01PM.
Some of us have to sleep!!! It's almost like favoritism for California (Pacific Time Zone). Hardly a fair plot challenge...

I had to fish for three days with all my pets, but managed to get that string. I never got the popup that told me I finished that bit, but just checked the negg puzzle after each round of pet fishing. It was also a fluke that I checked this page and got the other string at 12:59am, without knowing it was increased by an hour.

Overall I liked the epilogue better than the rest of the story. They comic artwork looked better and the sitewide puzzles were nice, only needed a more smooth rollout. I liked the epilogue but I'm also glad it's over for now.

It looks like TNT added an update to bug fixes which explains why so many people are finally getting the third string:

"On June 20, 2026 - ACTUALLY Fixed Riddle #3 of TVW Epilogue Puzzle for real this time, and automatically progressed Riddle #3 state for any users who started puzzle over 3 days ago."
