There isn't a deeper secret version of the Humakt myth (only Making the Storm Tribe, Ernalda, Uralda, and Elmal have the two levels).
Also, as I recall it, in each quest there is one station where the myth does not provide clear guidance--this is deliberate, to simulate how things never go quite how you expected.
I admit that the Humakt quest is the one that I have the most trouble with, but I wonder if this is because I mostly play peace or balanced clans? I wonder if that would be easier for a war clan? Anyway, I've never figured out a consistently successful choice at that first station, but I think maybe it depends a bit on your stats--like with high bargaining you might do better at flattering Eurmal?
Uralda usually gives me the second most trouble. I also find the benefits from those two quests not all that impressive, so even when I play a game all the way through I don't always do those ones (although Uralda is the best quest for when you want to get lost, to try and get that lovely wheel!)
