AG Community Playthrough 68: Yoomurjak’s Ring
I did really like Miazma too & it’s quite a bit easier but for me doesn’t quite have the unique charm of Yoomurjak’s Ring. It has a different story but I would have loved it if the developers had made a prequel to YR instead set back in the time of Pal Abray & Jonathan Hunt’s grandfather etc.
Haven’t they done that with AGON?
I agree about Miazma but still worth a playthrough for those who liked Yoomurjak Ring.
Agon is set in that earlier time but other than featuring Jonathan’s grandfather (or is it his great grandfather?) there’s no connection to the story of Yoomurjak’s Ring.
Yes, I agree that Miazma is definitely worth a playthrough if you like Yoomurjak’s Ring.
I still have AGON games to play! 
Maybe right after I finish reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and A Brief History of the Normans.
It could always be worse, remember that.

The history of the Normans is brief? 
I liked the Agon games a lot & they have some interesting puzzles.
The history of the Normans is brief?
It covers only a few centuries, but it’s significant for many parts of the Europe, especially for the island you stand on as we speak type.

Always makes me wonder why the French & English clash because the French must be ancestors for so many here!
Anyway Agon was released in 3 episodes to start with from what I remember. I also played the 4th The Sword of Toledo but sadly the developers didn’t continue with their planned 14? episodes. They all seem to be self-contained but still a little disappointing that the series wasn’t continued.
I failed to find a mention of Casagrande anywhere else in the game save for the Gardonyi papers handed to Jonathan by Auntie Iza. It’s an important clue.
They should have put the reference in that Eger brochure, which is useless (like the ocarina - great red herring).This game requires a lot of looking at everything. I did so all the time and, besides plenty of red herrings (I found 12 places around Eger with the symbols used in Book 2 puzzle which have no use at all, except to distract a player), managed to catch some good fish too.
Where is the second R?
It’s in the vicinity of the Basilica.
I didn’t know what Casagrande was but I figured it translated to “big house” so I did consider the painting with the saint of Basilica or whatever it was. If I just had thought a bit further, I might have actually went to Basilica to look for the clue… Oh, well.
Here’s my map of the maze: link.
You’ll notice that there are some turns in the right part of the maze (everything right from the first junction) that I haven’t explored. I was lucky enough to get to the ‘correct place’ quickly.
Oh dear, I was much luckier. Initially I found one dead end on the right side, and then probably 3 on the left. Then I went back to the right side and headed straight to the right spot. I’m not kidding. I did have a tactic of sorts, trying to “aim towards center”. Seems it worked pretty well.
P.S. Get well soon.
Thanks, though unfortunately I’m feeling worse today than I was yesterday. The painkillers work at least.

(Marco) Casagrande was an Italian sculptor who made those huge statues of saints in front of the Basilica. You can read about it here.
Did anyone find any reference to Casagrande in the game (beside the text of the 4th Book puzzle)?

There is a board - sign in Basilica that says about him making the statues outside. I didnt find anything else.
Also for people asking the way crossed lines map works for the maze it goes like this:
x is forward, > is right and < is left. If you follow directions reading from top left to bottom right, like reading a book, you ll get out of the maze this way. It makes the first map not that usefull as it doesnt show the entrance and the goal where you need to go.
Thank you for the Casagrande reference.

I’ve been in a pretty lousy shape - nothing serious enough to be worried about, but bad enough so I haven’t really been able to play. So I will finish when I’m feeling better and have the time (as I happen to have some other things piling up too).

(Good) CP threads last for months so take your time and don’t worry.

I look forward to your comments on the remainder of the game millenia when you feel like posting & have the time. But the main thing is to get & feel better soon!
In a recent online chat with her friends my daughter mentioned me playing games and how delighted I was with Yoomurjak’s Ring, and one of the participants (a Hungarian) said something along the lines, “I thought Pierrot* was just a no-good musician.”
*the man behind the game, a genius in my opinion
Apparently one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Or talk about a prophet and his village…

Get well soon!
The game finally broke me; I had to resort to a walkthrough.
I’m now wandering around a church.
