Challenge · Crack the cipher
The Catalyst Vault
Four riddles guard the Winners' Lounge. Each one resolves to a single English word — and the number of letters in that word is the dial's digit. Solve all four, key in the code, and the vault opens. You get one attempt.
Encrypted — 4 dials
The one who makes me has no need of me. The one who buys me will never use me. The one who uses me will never see me — nor know that I hold them.
I have no mouth, yet I answer every call in the caller's own voice. Born of stone and distance, I live a single moment — and I die if you stand too close.
Every creature can make me, yet none may keep me while speaking of me. The instant I am named aloud, I am broken.
I wear a bed I never sleep in, keep a mouth that never speaks, hold banks that store no coin — and the greatest of my kind split continents.
