btw in case anyone was wondering, the cryptic instagram post from 5:26 is a caesar cipher, which just takes the letters in a word or phrase and shifts them over a set number of times. in this case, each letter was shifted 19 times
UPDATE: The final avatar solution was discovered 2 hours after this video released! Thanks Amanda!! QR CODE @ 7:23 - Leads to Grundo's Warehouse Sign language letters: 3:58 - I 9:24 - E 17:07 - M 28:18 - T
5:32 I must be clinically insane because I nearly immediately recognized this can't be a word scramble (there's a lot of Z, J, and Y that are there, and those are rare letters in English) so I immediately was like "Maybe this is a Caesar Cipher?" and Googled a caesar cipher decoder and typed in this text, and the literal default settings happened to match what the devs used. I'm so normal about neopets. edit: 14:20 THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS SO CUTE AAAAAAA I LOVE HIM
Sign language cameos from Max are E - 9:24 M - 17:07 T - 28:19 That's all I can comprehend. I don't know what they mean. neoboard warriors, do ur thing
Isn't there a difference between American Sign Language and British Sign Language? I know full words can differ but I'm not sure about individual letter signs. Could be a red herring but might warrant further investigation 🤔 EDIT: They are completely separate languages, the alphabets are indeed different. Good luck for anyone curious to delve deeper. EDIT 2: hot damn nevermind it's already cracked 😂
What’s wild to me about that puzzle is not only was it an anagram it was using a cypher and they got that figured out in like 10 minutes. Crazy!! I wish I could puzzle like that 😂
@@ponchoking55 I would have never guessed to use one to decode it still. The fact they figured out the entire puzzle so fast is still wild to me (btw the avatar has been solved 🥳)
Cryptogram puzzle: at the start: theres only two single-letter words (I and A) so that means H is one of those. Looking at the word 'HCHAHY' therefor assuming A is a word with 3 As in it. not many words that fit that pattern but Avatar is one of them! from there you unlock the other letters (CAY) and turn them into VTR and see where that takes you.
spent 10 minutes trying to solve the puzzle like it was a cipher because i got that confused with anagrams. needless to say.... i am not a genius puzzle lover
i didnt get the avatar craze until i got the wheel of excitement one 3 weeks into playing the game. it gave me the bug and now im up to 88, including my prized arcade shoyru
Yeahhh... I looked up what the actual clues were meant to be after it was solved and ran out of brainpower halfway through just reading and trying to understand the logic leaps. For someone who's actually good at this stuff, they maybe look like simple steps instead of leaps, but, well... 😅
I just wanted to say I started playing neopets again because of your videos talking about the fairy festival and halloween. And now there's a plot happening! I've never gotten to play during a plot event! And I've nearly maxed out the bank interest which was a neogoal I'd never thought I would reach!
Thank god Amanda is here to report on this stuff. I’m literally in the neopets fb groups and I see the updates online and I just don’t retain information. I don’t collect avatars so I assumed none of the recent updates about the avatars were plot related and I just didn’t pay attention.
I love puzzles but I suck at them and just feel like I'm missing something with this new plot. Thanks for covering this and giving us strugglers some help!
You make me want to play neopets because I only ever played it for 5 mins as a kid but I just KNOW I’d be obsessed if I got into it now. It just seems so complicated and daunting and intimidating though 😪 also everything seems so hard to get like omg (Edit so I’ve been playing nonstop and have saved up 400k for a baby paintbrush bc I got lucky but I have no idea about anything else💀)
For the word puzzle at 5:32, start by looking for words that only have 1 letter. So the 3rd word only has 1 letter, and then try to figure out if it is "a" or "I" because those are the only 2 words with 1 letter. From there, use the same logic to determine the rest of the letters. To solve this write down the alphabet, starting with the 1 letter word and count how many letters to the left until you get to "a." It should be 7. Then do it for the rest of the letters. Once you solve 1 letter you can write down what it is and input it into all other letters. For example, replace all "H" with "A" in words 5 and 7. I wasn't going to comment, but I felt like you were being serious about wanting to know how peoples' minds work, which I found inviting. I think it's cool that "how the minds of others work" interests you and is a sign of wisdom.
6:19 it says "there is a new avatar coming.. can you figure out how to get it?" in caesar cypher 🠞7 the thing is that an anagram uses jumbles up the letters, while a cypher changes the letters, in this case, the casar cypher shifts all the letters 7 places to the right (a🠞h, b🠞i, c🠞j, etc) 10:45 also, i don't even play nopets, but honestly with a site THAT HUGE finding clues sounds really fun!
People generally don't do anagrams and ciphers by hand 😂 even back when the castle of eliv thade dropped, anagram solving websites were fully a thing. How else would you play that?
I like to save your videos to watch during my weekend shifts but who am I kidding how tf am I supposed to wait 3 days with this sitting in my subscriptions
DYEWORKS QUESTION: lol I cannot seem to find the answers anywhere! I just recently started re-playing (about 28 days in so far), and to cut to the chase, I have an Aisha, working toward buying the Maraquan paintbrush for her. I had some spare NC, so I grabbed the Maraquan Summer Cloak (today jun 10/24) and a brew potion - Im trying to get the purple version of the cape. But yet when I go to the dyeworks (with the cape and potion in inventory), it doesnt show the option to dye the cape? As far as I understood the dye colour is random, that I get, but I have both the item and potion so why wont it let me dye it? X_X I dont understand TT^TT
This puzzle has destroyed my sleep and I may have failed a class for it. But if I can get an avatar out of this chaos, then I am all for it :)

"babe, new theamandafiles video just dropped"
“I’m so proud of us” 😂😂😂 We’re out here killing the whole social thing! No. 💯 The puzzle club should have got the avi. Hands down.

QR CODE @ 7:23 - Leads to Grundo's Warehouse
Sign language letters:
3:58 - I
9:24 - E
17:07 - M
28:18 - T
at 9:24 is definitely an E, not an S. S has the thumb over the fingers not under
Hmm she points the minion avatar with lord kass and neopets just had a post aboit him. So that definitely has something to do with it
We rally behind you---for Lord Kass!
i just know amanda was giggling behind the scenes the whole time acting like this video wasnt an op 😭😭😭

Whenever I watch one of your videos, my neopets obsession comes back in full force

Caesar Cyphers are the most basic code, much easier than an actual anagram

the avatar choices actually fit the perfect virtupets space station theme, how did that happen
Maeve and Birdie give me such Wednesday and Enid vibes. It's giving girlfriends lol
Kass had been gone since the year before i was born yet i have a shrine in my room. i think thats kinda cool
I am right there with you with having a hard time solving puzzles. lol😅

I'M HERE FOR CLUES BUT ALSO I LOVE YOU AMANDA
How did you get the music at the end of the video? I remember it from the plot that introduced Kaia, and I love it!
there is a new avatar coming can you figure out how to get it. Good ol' Caesar cipher.

Birdie is a Dr. Sloth simp and I am in full support
There’s nothing like sitting down and listening to an amandafiles video 🙌🏻 iconic
your intro today was so relatable Amanda please know you are my favorite neopets youtuber
I SEE THAT SIGN LANGUAGE T FROM MAX’S PAW
AND AN E EARLIER 👀
Not gonna lie, Birdie gives me Daisy vibes when she was in love with Goose.
I love puzzles but I suck at them and just feel like I'm missing something with this new plot. Thanks for covering this and giving us strugglers some help!

Just the mention of ebaums world in the year 2024 gave me psychic damage

I don't play neopets. I'm just here for the vibe.
Ahhh you're featured on NP's community page/facebook!
Im all about the neopets drama
she may have slayed...
I haven't changed my avatar in 20 years......I'm an avid avi collector......
