Editing Ambition: Enigma (Guide)

{{GuideFor|Category=Ambition: Enigma}}{{Spoiler|Spoiler Type=Enigma}}

Why are you here? Are you here at all? Or is that just the treachery of maps?

A secret ambition (although in truth it's merely a morsel), for those who seek a way behind the scenes and are willing to dig very deep indeed to find it. It does not replace your existing Ambition, nor does it prevent players from selecting a regular Ambition if they don't acquire one first.

The entry point is not in Fallen London.

Some reading into Fallen London's inspirations would be advisable; the rest is up to you. 

''Ambition: Enigma is a secret set of puzzles embedded within Fallen London that unlock some easter eggs. The answers to the puzzles are considered under strict spoiler guidelines and so everything will be hidden underneath spoiler dropdowns with progressive clues.''

The clue for getting it once was in Sunless Sea but doesn’t actually exist anywhere any more, so I’ve never really been sure what to say about it. Which means I’m faced with a difficult choice; either I admit my calculations are wrong, and I am unable to describe the method of its acquisition, or else I reveal that the method is reflected exactly in this post.

==What Now==
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
At this point, the treasure hunt is largely over and everything else related to Enigma can be found in the game itself. You have unlocked a handful of easter eggs and extras.
===Mahogany Hall===
There's a new storylet here, [[Ambition: Enigma]], you cant miss it.
*[[Argia]] - This is how you increase to {{IL|Ambition: Enigma}} 2
**When this says it will remove all your {{IL|Piece of Rostygold}}, {{IL|Whispered Hint}}s, {{IL|Sulky Bat}}s, {{IL|Reprehensible Lizard}}s and {{IL|Confident Smile}}s, it means it, and you will NOT be compensated.
***Remember: These items are not hard to grind. Use or sell them before you proceed.
**Not only does this take 10 actions, but it will take a while for you to return. Be sure you have nothing pressing.
**This will take you to {{IL|A PLACE WHERE THERE IS VERY LITTLE SCREAMING}}
*[[No more (Ambition: Enigma)|No more]] - This removes your {{IL|Ambition: Enigma}}, and you cant get it back.  
*[[A Star-Shell]] - provides additional background around Frostfound
*[[Isidora]] - provides additional background around [[Flint]]

===A PLACE WHERE THERE IS VERY LITTLE SCREAMING===
Have you ever wondered what its like to be a Clay Man? Well now you get to experience such a thing, as a clay man working for the docks. Enjoy your time here, or dont.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
====How to escape====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Play the storylet [[OBEY GRUDGINGLY]] to raise {{IL|GETTING AN UNCO-OPERATIVE REPUTATION}}. Once that reaches 10, you will be [[BURIED.]] Play [[THERE IS A WAY OUT.]] to leave.
</div></div>

===Mirror Marches===
There are a handful of dev kit test options available in the Mirror-Marches, though they dont actually do anything.

===Misc Stuff===
*If you try [[Bartering with the Tiger Keeper]], you might notice a [[Barter a secret for a Puzzling Map|new option]].
*There is a new tattoo you can get come {{FontRose}} that is An Invisible City
