The Wixie Puzzle is a puzzle made by the developers of Uncompromising Mode, mainly Scrimbles. It consists of inputting a series of passwords/keywords into a special Discord bot in a dedicated Discord server.

Warning: the server is currently shut down because of technical problems.

In-game[edit | edit source]

The puzzle set piece in-game.

A special set piece always appears in-game. It consists of a 4x4 wooden flooring with a Grand Piano, Grandfather's Clock, Fancy Wardrobe, a Broken Toy lying on the floor, and is surrounded by a patch of Deciduous Forest which lacks Catcoons or other biome-exclusive features (although, the Loot Stash can still spawn there). It is a crucial part of the puzzle and the spawning spot for Wixie, with her being thrown out of the Wardrobe.

What's the secret phrase[edit | edit source]

First, all players are presented with the following in the main channel for inputting keywords: an image with the text

We only speak in hushed tones and secret phrases

And an image showing the text ||welcome home||, shown as spoiler text. It is the first keyword to be entered.

After entering the keyword, the first major area is unlocked.

Welcome home[edit | edit source]

The house video

This new room contains a video and the first diary page.

Checking the room's description will give the next clue:

It lies in darkness, its eyes are many. Take a closer look, can you guess my full name? The first is five, last is eight

This indicates that the next keyword is the full name of someone with many eyes, the first name containing five letters and the last name containing eight letters.

The video has the Dread Eye appearing each frame, which may confuse the players into thinking that its name is the one they're searching for even though its second name doesn't contain eight letters. Entering ||dreadeye|| as a keyword will unlock an extra area with a clue, which can be skipped.

"It lies in darkness" and "Take a closer look" are meant to be a hint for increasing the brightness of the video and "looking closely.

There are words showing up constantly. They are the following:

Crafty gaze upon   In death does   He travels onward   Drives me   Conceal him,but   The sands of   Hounds me, the   With his   The seashore.   Forlorn one, and   Passing from   The earth   Famished alone   Me; not even  The shades he

The words can be put together to form the following:

He travels onward with his crafty gaze upon me; not even in death does the earth conceal him, but passing from the shades he hounds me, the Forlorn One, and drives me famished along the sands of the seashore

These are words from the greek poem Prometheus bound, by Aeschylus. The words describe Argos Panoptes, a 100-eyed mythical giant. It is the next keyword to be entered. Then, you unlock the next room.

The music room[edit | edit source]

The music room video

In the next room, you are once again presented with a video and a letter.

This extra area contains the following words:

Clever, but you haven't heard my name before. Perhaps you should take a closer look...
