If I meet the third Mystery's requirement during the Mythos phase, is it solved then or at the end?
Several experienced players agree; no official ruling on the same-phase awakening tie.

Most Mysteries say they are solved at the end of the Mythos phase, so one whose requirement is met during that phase is not solved until then. If Doom reaches 0 earlier in the same phase, the Ancient One can awaken first and a pending Mystery does not save you. This is card text rather than a core rule, and some Mysteries (such as many Final Mysteries) are solved the moment the requirement is met. Outside the Mythos phase, the next Mystery is drawn as soon as one is solved.
