If anyone respected Nick, they wouldn't be standing right in front of the statue and above where he was buried.

Okay, I'll humor you.

You cannot bury jelly. His core, mustache, pipe, and toupee have all been stored IN the statue.

#10 and other

Im not on a lot but i think it is in haven, probably ON the auctionhouse there are a lot of signs, pictures and other things on it, its crowded and who doesnt check the auctionhouse everyday?

Beside that, i keep wondering why there are levels in the clockworks that are flying islands with a lot of sun....
Doesnt really make sense as it is underground (there is not a hole where sun gets trough) and i guess it arent the lanterns on the roof XD

Auction House didn't exist at the time.

Huuuge post alert!!

I have a theory about the cradle. It’s a little hard to explain why.

Cradle once was a place of magic. There were medieval knights, castles, fairies and other magical beings. There was an entity that took care of the world (The core). The core was very fragile, thus cradle were built around it in a way to protect it, so it wouldn’t be tainted by the outer world. Whoever was responsible to protect The Core, betrayed him, and imprisoned him inside. The world was destroyed. All consumed.

Now, either this traitor wants to release the core to taint him, maybe to take his powers, or wants to prevent anyone to ever release him.
All you see in the SK game is this one traitor arranging stuff to make it happen.
He might be gathering armies from other worlds to protect the core, or trying to find someone who can break it. This is the reason Skylark was shot: either to make them chase the core, or in an attempt to prevent them to land in Cradle.

For some time I thought whatever is inside the core was really bad, and when the knights would open it, a great danger would fall over cradle. However, now I think, for the name “Cradle” and other stuff I read, that is really made to protect something.
People say there were negotiations with gremlins, I don’t think so. They just attack on sight.

Anyway, since we are talking about mystery stuff:

I always thought the haven was at some point part of the clockworks, or something similar, because of stone turrets and stuff. Maybe the gremlins were the first ones to live there and were driven out by the strangers, rsrs.

I want to know what sword is this.

So far i've only seen one black snipe.
Also what are the strange signals on the purple roof?

The colors of the tents represent the elements and stats, like yellow waves for stun, orange tents for fire, crimson for curse, and so on.

What are these?
Log in and off to see clearer.

And then, of course, what about the golden ring?

Why does Bosco holds a yellow crystal?

What is the relation between the Trojans and the spiral armors, like the gatekeeper’s.

You see they have crystals in their backs, and that’s the only place you can hit them. There are more than one type of Trojan, all with different crystal colors.

The first recon module says “The Clockworks are a manufactured place, perhaps the worlds they contain are harvested from the terrain above.”
Well, we only see a little piece of cradle, with is haven. Maybe we can get to see the rest of cradle, eventually, and new towns.

Actually, I poked about in the game files and that sword isn't a new kind of sword.
It's a Troika with the top broken off.

Core?

From the recon Modules, the last one after FSC, we see that it says the shadows became alive. This really reminds me of the Giant Black Kats in the Owlite castles we hate so much. Maybe the real monster behind this core are using the power of undead to his advantage, making kats into ghosts, cursing what might have been other knights into slags and mind-controlling guardians to become trojans. I personally say the real monster that dwells inside the core is a HUGE kat that have tons of Giant Kat guardians that does both fire and freeze status damage (somehow...) .

The water isn't a mystery btw, there's also water in JK at depth 14.

What do you guys say?

make the old protos new

Why don't you make the prototype level playable for a while like part of the anniversery of spiral knights and it could have all the rare items that everyone needs an if their lucky the tails tails or alchemy orbs that grow into others as you go deeper into the prototype level wouldn't that be cool =D

The secret that we see

The secret that we see everyday.

4 yellow flowers laid down in the little garden in Haven. These represent 4 years of Nick's stay at SK. That's also why his statue is placed there... he planned to leave in the first place... just a hypothesis.

The group of 3 yellow flowers is added for decor (or not?)

I dunno about the blue flowers... too hard for me to decode.

If it's everyday then it's

If it's everyday then it's either in Haven, Clockworks or Opening (obviously). As stated above the opening originally there were no rank missions or prestige (or DLC obv) so Arcade is the only place a secret could be stored. Lastly Haven, remembering that AH, sprite alchemy machines and Nick's statue are all recent (in comparison to this ancient thread).
Arcade - Cannot be anything Ce related as this is no longer in the game. They wouldn't have took something out before the players realised it was there after telling them to look for it, that's too evil (although...the troll inside is telling me it'd be perfect if they have).
- Cannot be boss related or mini related (or rarity related ofc).
- It could be related to the cycling of levels.
Haven - Fountain is a popular topic of conversation and for good reason (it's very big).
- Strangers are shady as hell.
- Sprites are everywhere.
- The colour systems are unlikely to be important. He said players see it everyday, but who really sees the colour of houses when playing a game (outside of deliberately looking at it).
- Nice areas to look at would be the areas off map. It would be pretty easy to hide something there while keeping it in plain sight.
Another option is that "every day" is nothing more than a hint. This would be hilarious.
Other key word to take notice of, in my opinion, is "Curious!" That word just looks dodgy to me.

So my conclusion is...

you can go find it yourselves. >:D Trolls ftw.

When there's trouble you know who to call!

I'm starting to find this thread hilarious...(read post #498 and #499):
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/20773?page=9#comment-584944

Soooo...I searched through the entire thread, and nobody from the SK team ever confirmed that #10 was found.
So I guess people will keep "necro-ing" this thread and making weird new theories, forgetting when this thread was made, or that Nick left...

I'm going crazy over this #10 thing myself, so after more than 2 YEARS and more than 800 POSTS, will anyone just explain what the secret is already!?!?
(or has it been deleted forever!? D:)

This thread was made so long ago, that finding this secret is almost impossible. If you're working on theories please note that this thread was made in 08/13/2011, which means a lot of stuff that is "normal" and that you see "every day" didn't exist (ready room, log in screen, etc.)

And no, pixeljoy didn't find it, link in my comment ^above^ (#832).

There are two hypothetical theories to the number 10:

@Vohtarak, that was just because some people keep saying "It must be in the ready room!" or things like that, without noticing that most things were different, or didn't exist, back when the thread was made, I didn't mean to repeat that post.

Not going to be based on the word "Day"

No need to go all "HL3 CONFIRMED" on this here. Haven has been hit by night, usually during the Halloween event.

All in all it's probably something minor. Maybe something to do with the stranger who greets you in Haven. Don't think it's the giant elevator we spawn in Haven on though.

http://media.spiralknights.com/v/20141222103755/images/spiralknights_cor...
:? Core's open in this it looks like. From the bottom of the website (dunno how recent that is tho so could mean nothing) but if its been there for a while then forums posters would see it often and people just going to the SK website could see it. It says game secrets so something off the website probably isn't what is sought but whatever.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. If so plz ignore. Sorry for possibly sparking more theory trains or getting hopes up that the core was open ingame.
