The Reverse Flash- Eobard Thawne
The Reverse Flash is causing havoc all over Findlay! You must help the Flash beat him by tracking down his time capsule to prevent his escape. The wherigo software can detect the distance to the capsule to help you in your quest.
The Reverse Flash is a mantle, broadly referring to the archrivals of the various superheroes known as the Flash. Eobard Thawne is the original Reverse Flash (but not chronologically the first due to a later retcon). Debuting in September 1963, he has a variety of origins over the decades, all which begin with Eobard hailing from the 25th Century. After gaining speed powers through an experiment, he adopted the name 'Professor Zoom' and begins a life of crime. As the Flash, Barry Allen defeated him repeatedly, with Eobard became obsessed with replacing Barry Allen, travelling back in time to get revenge in two decades of stories. He even kills Barry's romantic interest, Iris West, and attempts to kill a later fiancee of Barry Allen before the Flash breaks Thawne's neck, accidentally killing him.
After his death in the August 1983 issue, he would appear after the continuity-simplifying event Crisis on Infinite Earths, during which Wally West took up the mantle of the Flash. Eobard returns to the present day and visits the Flash Museum, only to discover he will become the Flash's greatest enemy. Driving him mad, he believes he is Barry Allen, and fights alongside Wally for several months before ultimately going mad and being tricked into returning to the 25th Century. Growing in popularity, his character survived various continuity resets, appearing the later "New 52" and "Rebirth" continuities of DC Comics. He is also a prominent villain in the CW TV shows (dubbed the "Arrowverse"), appearing in multiple shows and seasons.
The Cache
The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister- and is available to download from the wherigo.com website. -Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.
The basic idea is to find the final while being given only your distance to it. To get the current distance, you can ask the Reverse Cache Box in your inventory, but it won't tell you the direction - that's for you to figure out! There's no limit to how many times you can ask, but try to keep your number of guesses as low as possible. Theoretically, you should only need 3 queries to triangulate on the cache, but in practice you'll probably need more. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge are provided in the cartridge itself, which is multilingual.
The Reverse Wherigo is a generic cartridge that works on many such caches worldwide. To identify the Findlay version, you must type this code into your player when asked:
950331
472903
517428
You should probably keep this code handy, as you'll need it if you have to restart for any reason.
Once you zero in on a spot close to the final, you can try to find it yourself without any more queries. If you make a query within a very short distance, you'll receive the actual coordinates and can follow your GPS from there. Otherwise, you probably won't need your GPS receiver at all when playing this wherigo. After you make the find, feel free to post the stats (number of queries, etc.) from your search as part of your log. There's no "completion code" for this cartridge.
If you want to create your own Reverse Wherigo, you can do so using the passcode you receive at the end of the game. The passcode is unique to you and can't be shared with other cachers. Simply choose "create" rather than "play" when starting the Reverse Wherigo and enter your passcode at that point. You will need to be at the final location for your hide, with a good signal on your device. The cartridge will then give you the exact coordinates (which you'll need when creating the geocache online) and the three six-digit sequences that identify that location in the cartridge. Write these down, hide your container and create your very own Reverse Wherigo! Just be sure to notify -Waldmeister- as a courtesy (no advance permission needed).
Thanks and happy caching!
