Trickster
In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story, which exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge, and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and conventional behaviour. Source – Wikipedia
First look at the EXIF information for this PNG.
Go to https://www.metadata2go.com/ and drop your image there.
File Type : PNG File Type Extension : png MIME Type : image/png Image Width : 966 Image Height : 2642 Bit Depth : 8 Color Type : RGB Compression : Deflate/Inflate Filter : Adaptive Interlace : Noninterlaced Title : Misty Poster "Art Nouveau" Style Image Size : 966x2642 Megapixels : 2.6
Notice that the Title information is Misty Poster "Art Nouveau" Style
.
Art Nouveau, or “Art Nouveau”, started in the 1880s. One of the representatives, Czech Alfons Maria Mucha, has a strong correlation with this topic.
The woman in the original picture has a large circle behind it and 7 small circles on it. The patterns are taken from Mu Xia’s 7 works, which are:
From these 7 images, we take the first letter of the above 7 works and we getMZMJFNP
.
In addition, there is another information in the original picture.
When we analyzed the original image using the Stegsolve tool from StegOnline mentioned in the previous puzzle, we found that there is a string of Czech characters in Gray bits:
wjeiréůavmóýybzvrpď
Extracting Red2 and Green2 for XOR comparison also found:
wj__réůavmóýyb_vrp_
Because this tool only displays black and white in these two modes, it does not represent a gap here, it only means that the colors are different.
Ingress 13 Archetypes 11 Trickster solution
Now we know the passcode will end as 13ar, so the combination of 4 different colors is likely to be a number, and the string should be reversed.
Put your text here at https://www.browserling.com/tools/text-reverse.
After reversing first string wjeiréůavmóýybzvrpď we get:
(ď)prv(z)byýómvaůér(i)(e)jw
This time we have to take the first letter of the above 7 works MZMJFNP
as a key code by Virginia (Vigenère cipher) decryption, we obtain:
(š)rem(t)pinqamuire(j)(t)ar
This ends with AR! So we are in the right direction!
According to Czech numbers šest = 6
, tři = 3
, jeden = 1
to conversion, namely:
6rem3pinqamuire13ar
Remove the middle am
, that is:
6rem3pinquire13ar
So, ingress passcode for the 13 archetype Challenge 11 Trickster is:
6rem3pinquire13ar
