I'm stuck, and hoping someone can help.

(Spoilers in rot13):

V'ir znqr vg nf sne nf gur snez, naq unir tvira gur zrgrbe gb Oebja. V'ir tbg gur jurryoneebj, tnf, naq (synzvat) orfbz. Zl vqrn, juvpu zvtug or ragveryl jebat, vf gung V jbhyq yvxr gb oybj hc gur pnir. V’ir jurryrq va gur oneery bs tnfbyvar naq bcrarq gur pnc. Nal nggrzcg gb oevat n oheavat orfbz vagb gur pnir vf zrg jvgu n qenhtug gung rkgvathvfurf vg. Fb V gubhtug gung V zvtug qebc vg vagb gur jryy vafgrnq, nf gung nccrnef gb pbaarpg jvgu gur pnir, ohg gur tnzr erwrpgf gung nf jryy.

I'm otherwise out of ideas as to how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not the author but completed this lately. You are on the right track. It might just be a matter of "guessing the verb", otherwise, perhaps you need to sleep once more before doing what you are trying to.

Here are some commands I used (rot13):

>trg tnf sebz oneebj (V pna'g ubyq gur tnfbyvar, vg'f gbb urnil sbe zr. V qebc vg.)

>qebc nyy

>trg tnf (V abj unir gur tnf)

>ghea pnc (gb bcra gur tnf)

>cbhe tnf va jryy

V qba'g erzrzore vs V jnf noyr gb pneel gur yvg orfbz gbtrgure jvgu gur tnf, vs abg, whfg qb gur nobir svefg, gura yvtug gur orfbz naq:

>guebj orfbz va jryy

I hope this works :)

It did, thanks. What tripped me up was that the game said that the oneery pbhyq abg or rzcgvrq, so I had placed gur oneery va gur pnir.

Thanks for trying it guys and well done for figuring out the solution! (I will make a point to do a future code or text change to attend to the misunderstanding that Mr Patient experienced)
