The Haunted Hollow: The Cursed Crypt

Hello,

I'm a little stuck on the Challenges & Scenarios section for the lab:

The Haunted Hollow: The Cursed Crypt

On one of the labs that fall into this category - The Cursed Crypt

For questions 3-5 I am copying and pasting the sections on all 4 riddles into CyberChef in the input field but not really sure what to do from here? 

I was able to answer question 1 as it had a wand icon which deciphered the riddle 1 but a little stumped on the rest? 

Any help please? 

help & support

    Having solved #1 with the Magic solver I assume:
    Did you look at the recipe that is used, and compared that with the riddle?
    Do this, and the others follow the same principle, with different encodings.

    Hi Dark_Knight666 I wanted to check if you have already completed the labs on CyberChef in the Historic Encryption Collection?

    In fact, I would advise that you work your way through the whole of this collection and the Modern Encryption collection first, before attempting the Cursed Crypt challenge.

    To offer you some specific advice, note what happens when you click the Magic Wand, the left hand panel populates with a number of decryption steps that are run one after the other. You need to solve the riddles to work out which decryption techniques you need to use to get each answer.

      Hello Kieran,

      No, I haven't completed the labs you suggested but I'll give them a go and see how far it takes me.

      Thank you.
