ARG:What Is It You Want Then

This page contains spoilers about the Heartbound ARG. If you want to solve the puzzle yourself, avoid reading this article.

This puzzle is also in the source. We are given a strange matrix of numbers...

<!-- You pitiful creature of flesh... -->
<!-- Doing the bidding of an old man... -->

<div class="What is it you want then...?">
    <!-- +4 | +2 | +0 | -2 | -4 -->
    <!-- 18 | 07 | 05 | 02 | 16 -->
    <!-- 19 | 21 | 01 | 20 | 01 -->
    <!-- XX | 10 | 09 | 11 | XX -->
</div>

Number Grid

The puzzle:

+4 | +2 | +0 | -2 | -4
18 | 07 | 05 | 02 | 16
19 | 21 | 01 | 20 | 01
XX | 10 | 09 | 11 | XX

This puzzle may seem confusing but it's simple. Each column has been shifted by the numbers given above. To decrypt it, reverse the math:

14 | 05 | 05 | 04 | 20
15 | 19 | 01 | 22 | 05
XX | 08 | 09 | 13 | XX

Then we use a standard (A:1, B:2, ...) decryption to get the plain text:

N | E | E | D | T
O | S | A | V | E
X | H | I | M | X

And that's our answer, add "NeedToSaveHim" to the URL, and you'll get the Who Will Benefit From This page.
