Answers

Now that the GA is over I'll go ahed and share the answers.

Q1: Ungoliant
This creature is the ancestor of Shelob and the giant spiders of Mirkwood.
Q2: 221B Baker Street
Benedict Cumberbatch, who voices Smaug, and Martin Freeman (Bilbo), are the protagonists of the BBC series Sherlock.
The address is the place where they both live.
Q3: Zidane or Yitan
Main character of Final Fantasy IX. Each of the playable character's traits are shown in the intro to the game.
Q4: Sheikah
The Sheikah tribe belong to the Legend of Zelda universe and are guardians of the royal family of Hyrule. The most notable member of these folk is Impa. Sheik's name is derived from this.

This was my first puzzle, so I just took a bit of what I was doing right now:
Reading the Silmarillion, re-watching Sherlock with my flatmate, and playing Hyrule Warriors. FFIX is a personal favourite and I watched my best friend play it over the summer, so it just came naturally.

Hey! So I seem to be in a streak of luck.
I won a GA yesterday and another shortly after. So I did a GA to celebrate that.... and then I won again! 0.o
Pretty crazy, so while things go so well I though I'd make two more GAs.
There's an easy not so easy puzzle, and then a private GA <---- direct GA ended, puzzle GA still open :)

This is just from my leftovers, but I hope you enjoy :)
The GA ends tomorrow, and the puzzle the day after.
P.S: just LV1 required for both

EDIT: I made the puzzle without an account, I think that means I can't edit it... oh well, I'll drop some hints here if you really need some

HINTS

Q1
Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Shelob.

Q2
The Hobbit movie, not the book (think about who portrays the characters).
The format expected for the answer location is xxxx xxxx xxxx (meaning three words with no symbols in between). No need to give the full thing, just the basic address.
See image below for more.

Q3
This Tribal character is a thief.
Oh and he/she has a tail.
Format: enter only his/her first name as it is in english, or spanish (no accent mark neccessary).
Know that the italian and french versions of the name are not accepted in this puzzle.

Q4
Gossip stones and the lens of truth.
Have a crossdresser as an impersonator.

Haha yeah... that's probably the first one I'll give a hint for
It was actually supposed to be a semi trick question, but it turns out the translation wasn't how I thought it was

Not easy at all but very nice anyway. Having ideas, not sure if my spelling is wrong or I am just thinking of something wrong.

Not exactly sure what your questions mean... got only q1 and q4, for q2 i only see one option, and it seems its not that. q3 i don't see to what it is related so maybe if there is some tips later ill go with it :p

Good thing there is only 4 question, i don't like puzzle where people put like 15 - 20 question with random stuff with poor tips... its like they think every people on steamgift have enough time for that^^

I was actually going for 5 questions, but thought they were a bit too widespread
and yeah it gets a bit tedious when they have 10+ questions and it's not a group puzzle.

Think outside the box for Q2 ;)

The format expected for the answer location is xxxx xxxx xxxx

Are you saying that the answer is literally 3 4-letter words?

Comment has been collapsed.

Nope, maybe I should explain that better somehow, I don't want to give it away though
What I mean is it should be separated into three words/parts with no commas or anything in the middle

Just expanded the hints a bit more.

Got tired of trying to guess Q2. Either way too hard or way outside the box for my liking, still thanks for the giveaway :)

Sorry to hear that :(
Probably too outside the box. I've changed the hint slightly to make it a bit clearer.
Hope people manage to solve it :x
