Mystery Draw or not Draw

By Shooock, in General Discussion

Hi All,

let me remind the words of rulebook on Mystery: " When the active Mystery is solved or removed from play, discard all tokens on it or placed by it. Then draw a new Mystery, placing it on top of any solved Mysteries "

So the question is:

if versus (for example) Syzygy you complete 2 Mystery and after turn sheet, is you allowed to complete other Mysteries?

... okok calm most of us are accustomed to stop on last mystery and then complete the final mystery, but I do not seek the goal, as the rulebook as written above you MUST reveal another mystery.

Anyone have the official answer on this question?

Because if the answer is no, it brings several problems with Syzigy, i mean if you completed only one mystery and then you have to turn the ancient' sheet, can you still complete the second? and if you had not completed even one you could reveal the second? ... so many problems that do not occur if the rule is to always reveal mysteries

Ok i got the official answer by Nikki Valens:

When a Mystery is solved, a new active Mystery is revealed. This technically happens even if no additional Mysteries are required.

Syzygy is likely the only reason this would matter. However, the "The Portal Opens!" effect on the back of the sheet is resolved only once. Solving additional Mysteries after the sheet is flipped will not result in additional Clues being placed on the sheet. There are a few other effects in the Sealing the Portal Special Encounters that reference the number of solved Mysteries. It's unlikely that solving a Mystery is worth the minor benefit gained at that point though.

So yes, for example vs a Cthulhu after third mystery is he is wake you need draw a fourth (vs Sygygy this take importance)

It's also of importance against Cthulhu as you can draw a mystery that spawns extra delaying-eldritch-tokens or a mystery that spawns his-secret-daughter-that-will coordinate-Deep-One-attacks-against-you.
Some Mysteries affect the gameplay before they are solved
