...with even more delicious EP5 spoilers! xD Not a full translation, but chronotrig of AnimeSuki and Witch Hunt has once again done us a HUGE favor and provided info on the gist of it. Some stuff about EP6, what is solvable so far, and some info on what could have been EP3, "Land of the Golden Witch", and what elements from it are in EP5 and EP6.
[original post]
On EP6:
As the leader of the witch side, Battler will be forced to continue the serial murders. So he must carry out 13 murders using the game pieces. If he can create a crime that follows the rules of Beatrice's game board and is seen by Lambadelta and Bernkastel, they'll be able to confirm that he understands this world, and the game will be over.
Ryuukishi, jokingly, said that he might even end with EP6...but he also said that ending on either EP7 or EP9 would even be possible as well. In other words, "no comment"
What is Solvable:
It is possible to solve the "who dunnit", "why dunnit", and "how dunnit" for up to EP4 at least, but this is from Ryuukishi's perspective. Just because it would be possible for him doesn't mean that it will be possible for all the readers, coming from their own perspectives.
Some people have already solved about 98% of the epitaph. For the rest, you'd need to be on the actual island. However, if the people who have solved 98% went to Rokkenjima, they would be able to solve the rest in about an hour.
Several people have already guessed the true location of the gold.
In both EP6 and EP7, the full process of solving the epitaph's riddle will be revealed. You'll hear about it bit by bit from characters in the game.
In EP5, the game stopped shortly after Hideyoshi's corspe was discovered, but people who know the "answer" should be able to predict what happens next in the second twilight and beyond.
Gold Text:
If you know the "answer", you should be able to understand what gold text is, what conditions it can be used in, and whether it's stronger than red text or not.
If someone knows the answer of the game, they can use the gold even if they aren't the Game Master.
Erika does not know the truth, but Lambdadelta can probably still use the gold.
Other Stuff:
Beato managed to communicate everything she wanted to Battler at the end of EP4.
Episode 6 will probably focus more on 'story' than 'mystery'
What would have been "Land of the Golden Witch":
People also wonder whether content from "Land of the golden witch", which was removed from EP3, was included in EP5.
Ryuukishi: I definitely can't tell you that! It's true that the most vital part of "Land of the golden witch" is in there, but it's such a terrifying bit. Furthermore, it's something that neither Battler nor Erika nor Bernkastel has ever brought up in discussion. Maybe they didn't even realize that it was a riddle. Well, you'll probably find out soon. In EP6, a huge bit of red text info will appear regarding this point......according to the current plan.
How many players have noticed what this content is so far?
Ryuukishi: Zero. ...Well, I'd like to say that, but I can't. This content is extremely venomous. Very powerful.
Is this content deeply related to solving the crimes?
Ryuukishi: I think people who have found the "answer" probably won't have any problems. I wonder if they've realized it's a trick...... It's a very dirty trick.
To put it another way, is it possible to reach the truth of the crime if you haven't noticed this trick?
Ryuukishi: That's hard to say. If you don't see through the part from "Land of the golden witch", you definitely won't be able to reach several vital answers.
However, that content was never really necessary in the first place, so you can reach the truth of the crime with it or without it. Still, it's just so venomous that there's a chance you'll be totally confused. Depending on the situation, it's likely to cause a certain misunderstanding.

So, thoughts? I'm pretty happy EP6 will focus more on the gameboard than the meta-world- after the Natsuhi development we got in EP5, I'm hoping for more, particularly on Hideyoshi and Kyrie.
