This has been mentioned before. I think it's possible that this is a clue. However, I don't see any other connection with that part of Manhattan in this episode.
I believe gorilla in the cabin is the clue not king kong, I have it matched to a spot on the path after the snake and right before ep 4.
The cemetery stands for death.....the snake on my path is at a place associated with death.
I really do think I have the right path.....there is something I am missing though or just not seeing because I am not in NY.
IMO these clues are being over analyzed.....they should work simply like they show us in ep 1.

I'd also like to add that the snake on my path is cut into pieces where it is Smile

Marvel's main offices are located in NYC

Alternatively, there are at least two Midtown Comics stores that I know of that could be significant.

The plus side of this theory is that it fits more in line with the episode 1 clues. The down side is that there is so much attention to the comic itself, that I doubt it could be this simple. Thoughts?


I thought of that too and the locations since I saw them but, I think we are looking for much more detailed decoding. The reason is because it is so detailed and obscure compared to the first two-three episodes. Put together what is going on in the panels and look up what they represent. Some of it is interesting. Who needs formal education when we have this treasure hunt? I now know more about NYC and other things then I did in school. LOL!

The video pauses on this panel for a few seconds. The things of note are the angel with the cross, the diamondback snake (again), and the # of buttons on Capt. and Crothers. In this panel it becomes obvious that The Captain's character is based on The Punisher. He is using dual pistols and has a skull on his hat. That gives us the following Marvel characters for this comic:

The Captain = The Punisher
Crothers = Wolverine
Black Tom = Spider-Man
Mulligan = ???

It's unclear if Mulligan is based on any Marvel Comic character. It looks like Tom is holding onto Mulligan's strap. This is Spider-Man-esque. Spidey often snags people with his webs and tows them.


Thanks for enlarging these it really helps.
Geez haven't read comics in ages.
Angel with cross: cemetery, God like creature, guardian angel.
Serpent: Glen Beck LOL! Evil, event in history that had a lot of death (cemetery).
Good vs evil.
We got 4, 4, & 2.
Mulligan helpless needs to be saved??

RE: Episode 6 Analysis
Sorry for jumping into this without having the full background yet but does the giant monkey have any significance?

Specifically at the end of the episode he grabs Mulligan while he is yelling, "he thinks I'm a woman!!!". They then run off camera.

This seems to be a reference to King Kong? It is probably a stretch but King Kong did steal a woman and take her to the Empire State building...

Is there anywhere in the forums to get caught on the search?

I had started watching the videos during the first couple of weeks but have been out of NYC for awhile so I stopped.

It was a blast trying to figure out the first 3 episodes, and would like to work with people further, but I figured it would be easier if I got caught up rather than stating things people have already proven wrong/right.

The other thread has 259 pages and while I read a lot of them, it's hard to piece everything together lol.


Everyone has their own interpretations of this puzzle. Fellow Traveler did a great job of posting the transcripts and possible maps under the Transcripts/Maps. Mlssry & I posted what we think for possible solutions. All the people who were very experienced and had successfully figured out treasure hunts before were chased off of this site by the nasty people. This was meant to be very hard so, unless Dave/BertandErnie/Spy Guy gets to the location soon we'll be here a least a few more months. Believe me you have time to catch up. Get a nice cup of coffee and sit back relax and read the post.

The diamondback snake must be important because it shows up in a few frames. It's either a reference to the comic book character:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamondback_(comics)
or the actual snake. It's hard to match the colors to either.

Once again, the number of buttons displayed on Crother's jacket changes in each panel.

The three dots on the captain's ring seem to be significant. I haven't been able to find a specific ring that matches it. The dots can be the number 3 or the letter 's' in Morse Code.

Black Tom's right hand shows a perfect sign language 'L'. However, I think this is more likely suppose to tell us that he is modeled after Spider-Man. Spider-Man makes a similar gesture with his hand when he shoots webs (except spidey raises his pinky finger as well). The gloves that Black Tom wears look similar to the gadget that spidey uses to shoot webs.

I left out the tombstones because they've been discussed fairly thoroughly.


The snake is light green. Possibly the G train?? Then again maybe not because he has a forked tongue which is deceitfulness in speech. Then again he was chopped to pieces.
Could also mean guardian of temple or other sacred spaces..
... is S in morse code. ...---... is a distress code. Not Save Our Souls or Save Our Ship like most people think. Or 3 lots of parks with 3 BB fields.
L train? This is for the next episode anyway.
Captain also has David Bowie eyes. Did some kid also hit him in the eyes?

I looked for them, but I don't think there are many in NYC area. There are some Popeye's Chicken places.


Don't think this will help much, but there are 3 Wimpy's burger/diner joints, all uptown:

Thanks J, it does. There is also a Popeye's across the street from one of them. I get the feeling that the Captain is verbally lying about his directions on the train. Not sure. Still have to look into that. What does anyone else think?. After all is he is sneaky.
