Confirmed. Only the English localisation of the game gives the clues for Raxxla.
The Quest To Find Raxxla
- Thread starter Macros Black
- Start date
Just asking: Did we ever find the wreckage of Ryders ship in Leesti? The ship would be a nice place to store a map...
Did you never play with treasure maps as a kid? Go to the tree at the bottom of the garden, walk 5 paces left, then 3 paces forward. X Mark's the spot.
You dont need to go to the tree, you can go straight to the X, but how do you find the x, without going to the tree and following the directions? Assume it's a big harden and you cant just :see" the X. I mean like 400 billion systems sized garden)
Edit
It makes sense that Jason would use a riddle/treasure map, instead of stating a system name, in case it fell into the wrong hands. After his death, TDW find the riddle/map and use it as their toast.
Why care if anybody overhears it, it's like having an encrypted email stolen...meh. Good luck decoding it!

I wonder if Raxxla could be a Thorne-Zytgow object that causes a massive FSD superccharge or unlocks other travel capabilities. There is a track in the official ED soundtrack that references Thorne Zytgow objects.

Yes, but where are the distances in the toast?
Let me know when you figure out how many LY "the lovers' woe" equates to.
Sorry - "lover's woe". Makes a big difference.
Just because we dont know how to read it, doesnt mean it isnt one! ;-)
True enough.
I'm just trying to help people read it by pointing out that treating it as a set of waypoints isn't going to work
Even though it's not a clue

Ive been thinking about the waypoint issue. One is that extra info could be found at each of the waypoints that makes it more solvable.
The other is a bit sneaky... We know universal cartographics is tracking us... What if raxxla only becomes visible on our maps if we visit certain systems and meet certain criteria? Would be a little annoying but might fit the "we know why no one has found it" and how it would be a personal journey for each commander.
If they waypoints contain clues then they're either extremely well hidden, or the systems we need to visit aren't any of the obvious ones.
I firmly believe that TDW is hooked into UC and will contact us when we've visited whatever collection of systems their entrance criteria are based on.
I used to think that the local news feeds in stations would be great places to drop tidbits of information... But they wipe every update... Kind of ruins that
Well, I thought it is 6 too initially >:. But decided it is not. In "SG-1" movie each star was descibed by 6 symbols, guess 6 points shows unique pos in 3D.Yes there is that...but...in the Codex it says the 'Alleged Toast of the Dark Wheel' so they're not even confirming that
Don't know if its relevant, if any of it is in fact, but just noticed the toast has 6 lines:
To the Jewel...R
To the whisperer...A
The Siren...X
The parents grief...X
The Lovers woe...L
And the yearning....A
Just maybe if you come across a Siren beginning with X for example, it may lead somewhere, maybe.
They used to be great. I found Jaques via clues in local Galnet. Of course, this was 12 months after everyone else had found him, but I did it the RIGHT way.

You forgot the apostrophe. Treat it as a decimal place:
THEPARENT.SGRIEF = 44.37
THELOVER.SWOE = 42.17
Ignoring apostrophe's brings me to ~HIP 56336 at ~(229.139, 123.81, 59.159)Just to be obtuse

But does it have 8 moons?
Well, that would be too easy for breadcrumb #1, eh?
