er... that package is already decoded in the game.... you just wasted a lot of your time.

heh... yep. Caius gives you the package back in decoded form after the third or fourth main quest.

Hey, at least I'm impressed. I assume you did this without the knowledge that you get the translation later? I'm unfamiliar with the ABC cypher you refer to, could you explain it in more detail?

just found that UALYK ECKAGIK is look like CAIUS COSADES

Well, yes, you mentioned that on your page, but what are the mechanics involved with coding/decoding? I wouldn't have thought that that translated to Caius Cosades, simply because I'd think it was letter substitution, and therefore ruled out U and E to both mean C, as well as A meaning itself. It's also not one of the other cyphers I'm familiar with. I read your page, but could you go into more detail on the code itself?

1. u have to "shift" first letter of the package (U) by 24 letters in the alphabet order (for example u shift A by 2 letters and get C, u shift Y by 3 and get C again) to get "S".
2. shift next letter by 12
3. next by 8
4. do not change next letter
5. shift by 23
6. shift by 22
7. shift by 8
8. repeat first step for the next letter
* they applying this steps ingnore whitespace
u see the pattern is 7 letters long and repeated till the end of the package

in previous post Y is decoded to B using 3 "shift". (u can assume that after Z comes A again)
