Just in time for Easter!

 

[Ausir]

The article is pretty well hidden, so maybe by Easter someone will find it.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Quick, someone make their own fake article with fake competition details.

 

[Talorc]

Heheh, I found it

It was well hidden

too bad that only 2 can win
i found it... who knows how many did that before me...

 

[Licaon_Kter]

it would of been nice to know all the contest rules from the start
the Wikia contest page did not even mention about being only 2 winners
and none of the contest texts said anything about a vague second question via email.

first email:
Subject: Ingredients
Question: What is The Witcher sword?

first answer: steel/silver/longsword/claymore + song by Vader

second email:
Subject: I N G R E D I E N T S
"The answer is specific but hidden"

my answer:

I did not read the books, my Geralt is just starting
Act III, my only source of information is the Wiki.

From te clues found on the wiki: "The spectral Wild
Hunt sometimes appears in nightmares of the cursed or
those touched by Destiny." And i did that quest that
means that maybe i was touched by Destiny?
Talking about Destiny: "Miecz przeznaczenia (Polish:
The Sword of Destiny) is the second book in Andrzej
Sapkowski's Witcher series in terms of internal
chronology"

So, what is The Witcher sword? The Sword of Destiny

On "Aerondight": "According to a quest-phase titled
"The Sword" (The Paths of Destiny), the blade is
exceptional: "light, sharp as a razor, and fits the
hand neatly."
In the same entry, it is said that the blade "has a
destiny of its own. Time will tell what that destiny
is." Destiny again...

Or on the page about "Argentia": "There is a way,
though, to awaken the spirit of a silver sword - by
using the moon oil known as Argentia." So the sword is
a spirit...

Spirit + Sword Of Destiny = Spirit Of Destiny ?

Edit it out, improve your chances!

 

[Ausir]

The answer was on the http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Ingredients page on the wiki (as in the subject line), it was a hidden comment - you had to click "edit" and then search for "sword".

There being only 2 winners was mentioned in the newspost at thewitcher.com.

 

[Hazelnut]

Hmm, and there I was - looking for a fake character, as in NPC.

 

[Ausir]

There was a fake character:

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Bertha_Maggot

But it was the first stage.

My post above describes the second stage of the contest.

 

[NiM82]

Silly contest. They should have let fans design some more cards for the game instead, it would at least have provided some lulz.

 

[Otingocni]

There being only 2 winners was mentioned in the newspost at thewitcher.com.

Well, its a great thing everyones first instinct when hearing of a contest is to read every avaliable newpost about it, just to make sure that rules that arent mentioned where the contest is actually being held are not hiding out somewhere.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Uhh... Don't competitions usually only have one winner anyway?

There was a fake character:

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Bertha_Maggot

You crafty bastard. I was looking for all the articles you had edited (having not played the game, I had no hope of finding it any other way) but I see you created a new account for your malicious editings.

 

[Ausir]

It wasn't me. It was added by one of wikia's tech guys directly into the database so that it doesn't show in the recent changes.

 

[Hazelnut]

heh, nice. Was it linked from the characters page, because I scanned that for five minutes and I'm sure I'd have spotted Bertha, but don't recall seeing her link there.
