it looks like a C on the barrel top

#

has that been pursued?

slender lodge
#

someone else mentioned that too

#

anyone else see a flipped THEFINALS logo

#

two X looking smudges

#

"H(some letter maybe)"

#

Hi maybe idk

timid basalt
#

@daring bluff i see the normal error

you are probably on the right path

slender lodge
#

@daring bluff oh yeah the finals logo also looks like an X

#

I can't decide

reef trench
#

the only thing I can see is 002F = / like some others have said

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

i just noticed that they're cut in half and smudged

#

manually i think

#

looks like _26

#

126?

#

hmm 1400x787

#

787, 1400

#

am i seeing shit or is this thing actually connected

daring bluff
#

that document has so many weird coincidences

slender lodge
#

ikr

daring bluff
#

it has to be connected

slender lodge
#

idk where to conenct it tho

#

or how

daring bluff
#

yeah

#

theres so much

#

and clearly we have to find a url

#

it’s probably just guess and check

#

we need the big guns

#

the algorithms

slender lodge
#

someone linked this a long time ago

daring bluff
#

yeah i found it by just searching google for “devon crossing” galileo or “galileo” devon crossing or one if those combinations i cant remember

#

there was some other interesting stuff but i think that one is probably most likely connected

I believe there's need for a recap of what has been found / seen / guessed so far. Lmk if I missed something

@pure loom discovered that 002f is unicode for /, meaning we are looking for a new url. (#easter-eggs message)

@mortal ivy pointed out the C on the cap of the closest barrel. (#easter-eggs message)

@sterile depot spotted what could be O 2 / 0 2 on the ridge of a barrel (#easter-eggs message)

@molten wedge brought attention, for the second time, to the smudged text/numbers on the top barrel (#easter-eggs message)

@mortal ivy manipulated the colors and rotated the image and the blurry text seems to read 1 2 6 (#easter-eggs message)

@worthy gyro spotted that reachthefinals.com/galileo was now live with the same X as devoncrossing (#easter-eggs message)

slender lodge
#

thank you ❤️

vale mason
#

so we're expecting a reveal today?

#

gotcha, so not a launch, but actual gameplay, right?

slender lodge
#

i doubt launch is anytime this month.. maybe next month

#

considering the trailer is soon this month

#

so playtest as well

solar smelt
#

Considering we got concept art 12 hours ago I have my doubts a trailer will come out. I suspect they'll drop the trailer a few days after some art not on the same day.

slender lodge
#

then post playtest they need time to fix problems with the game

#

and then after that, probs the release date

vale mason
#

hopefully something, it's going to be really sad

slender lodge
#

teaser for a teaser

slender lodge
#

do u guys think assuming the trailer is tomorow, itll be a release trailer or just a playtest trailer

#

idk what this easter egg is about, because if its about the playtest info then we'd be too late

#

so im guessing that the easter egg is something more

vale mason
#

I felt like that was super lacking though, we didn't get that much info from it

slender lodge
#

looks like a 7 lol

unkempt crypt
#

Looks like mount doom on the background

slender lodge
#

mount doom?

unkempt crypt
#

Haha yeah just teasing

#

I’m still waking up

slender lodge
pure loom
#

This last EE gave us the / very quickly but has given little else to work on

slender lodge
#

Fr

#

I also feel like (personal opinion) that the devs/artists have purposefully put random scratches in the image to make it look like there are certain letters

#

Everytime I open the image I find some weird looking scratch that looks like a letter or number but then I feel like there are too many and then I close the image

pure loom
#

I hope those 3 digits on top of one of the drums, or whatever they are, aren't supposed to be what we guess, because they are indecipherable.

slender lodge
#

For sure, I feel that there might be even more creative ways they've hidden stuff

#

So far it's been relatively easy to observe and spot them

pure loom
#

I do like this last image as concept art though - it looks good for the game

slender lodge
#

😫 Ikr

pure loom
#

I hope the trailer doesn't get delayed because we're slow on the EEs

slender lodge
#

I interpret it as like: This game mixes a lot of types of weaponry from military grade (depicted by the soldier) to the stylish melee user and with destruction and coins and theme of fame 'develop your own playstyle'. It sounds like a sandbox within an arena shooter mixed with something I don't even know how to explain lol

pure loom
#

Today's one has frustrated me because we haven't even really had any leads

slender lodge
pure loom
#

Like the best of Battlefield in an arena

(SATIRE)
STOCKHOLM - September 14, 2022

We've made the decision to delay THE FINALS™️ to UNKNOWN DATE.

THE FINALS™️ is an ambitious game, and we works our bollocks off on it. We tried to expand our easter eggs to its fullest, however, no one was able to get past our first clue. After extensive research, we believe that Galileo was not canon, and next time, it'll be Devon.

We've seen more excitement from our red X's which had no meaning than actual clues. We will be diving more into details as soon as we start having people stop focusing on asymmetrical red X (Which wasn't intentional) but we truly appreciate the attention to detail.

Please find the easter eggs, we really want to debut this game ;-;

/ The THE FINALS dev team at Embark Studios

enlist. resist reachthefinals.com /_ embark

unkempt crypt
#

Swa… don’t do that

#

You’re breaking our hearts here

solar smelt
#

tf whole game is cancelled because a bunch of random chatters can't solve clues

slender lodge

#

we'll figure it out

slender lodge
#

i wonder tho, is it the THE FINALS dev team or THE FINALS dev team?

unkempt crypt

make sure to explain :3

#

idk if you were talking about the X itself or the color or something else

#

anyways tho ima head to bed gn

fallen jasper

i guess try it out :p there are some websites that translate

pure loom

mortal ivy
#

Thank you!

tawdry jungle
#

anytime! happy_friend

timid solstice
#

IMO we have everything for now. We got galileo from the two yellow wallpapers, and the forward slash / from this last one to tell us it is indeed a url.

#

it would have made more sense to give us the / first, but saying that, the 8601 clue was posted after aswell, to point us back to the first clue

fallen jasper
#

im not the best at easter egg i just thought i can contribute smth hahahha

#

go stegonline then ss the cross picture then LSB half

mortal ivy
#

Good find @fallen jasper! I also noticed the jagged lines of the cross, but I didn't invert it like you did, so too me it only looked like fuzzy edges but it does look a bit "planned"

fair wraith
#

so we now have 2 pages with a red cross?

#

galileo and devoncrossing

#

also, do we have any landmarks in the teaser trailer for a real world location?

#

something I noticed, not sure if of any relevance, is that sentences that end with a "!" also have a full stop at the end

#

including the 2 hidden messages found in the exif data, as well as the message shown in the 404 page on the website

#
OOPS…
It looks like our friend ran out of luck…

Hey, don’t worry it’s just a 404 and our little buddy will respawn happier than ever before, promise.!
fair wraith
pure loom
#

@fallen jasper @slender lodge Ok, so examining that X image you posted - at first, I thought it was morse code - but then I realised that it was a screenshot of the X, not the actual X image. Bizarrely, taking a screenshot of it results in spurious "dashes and dots" at the edge of the X, which aren't anything real. So, unfortunately, it's not anything other than some weird result of taking a screenshot, rather than saving the X image.

fair wraith
#

the X image on both pages appear to be the exact same btw, if the source URL is to be believed

#

same exact resource name

#

so we have 4 concept art but only 2 pages

#

something tells me we should have 4 pages by now to then form a cross on the map

#

apologies if what I'm saying has already been concluded long before, I'm only catching up now ahah

pure loom
#

Here's the result of a screenshot of the X I took - showing that it forms those weird artifacts

#

Yeah, it's nothing - I was so hopeful when I saw it too! I was like "those sneaky devs putting morse in the cross" - but I was also disappointed they used morse, which I associate with Battlefield EEs. Anyway, it's just a curious nothing.

fair wraith
#

have we made sure the 3rd concept art doesn't lead to third page?

fallen jasper
#

D:

#

sadded

pure loom
#

Yeah, I just hope it wasn't relying on us solving this EE...

fair wraith
#

they released another concept art only yesterday so I don't believe anything would happen today

#

or will

molten wedge
#

We can pray to Eggward

pure loom
#

I'm heating up the frying pan, Eggward!

pure loom
#

I gotta say, this image has me pretty stumped. I even went in and had a look at individual pixels that look odd, like these ones marked, to see if the RGB values make some sort of phrase or something. Aside from the 002F, there's just nothing I can see that is decipherable.

mortal ivy
#

The 002f was such a quick find as well, it needs to be something more within the image

pure loom
#

The 14 marks on the katana handle were encouraging re 14 Sept, but I think we need something more meaty from this image.

fair wraith
#

Agreed, really doubt it all the image has is a "/"

molten wedge
#

Yeah there has to be something were missing

fair wraith
#

does it not have the numbers on the corners like the others?

pure loom
fair wraith
#

dead center?

molten wedge
#

My bet is soemthing on the barrels

fair wraith
#

has anyone tried isolating the image to only show the white dots?

#

see if it forms a shape or something

pure loom
#

Yeah, I've messed with the colour channels a lot - nothing of note appeared

fair wraith
#

they do seem kinda out of place to me. maybe it's the liquids leaking out of the barrels?

#

the one at the top is open, the second on the right is closed

pure loom
#

I wondered whether we are supposed to guess what the flammable liquid is an put that after the / - but I tried loads of fuels etc and nothing

#

Maybe this image was made by Tesla... kek

#

I'm gonna go back to bed - maybe I'll dream the answer lol - gl finding something in the meantime

mortal ivy
#

What if the "flammab liquid" is a clue in it self. You can't see the full flammable word, so maybe it's an anagram for some latin/italian phrase

#

quid flam limba as an example 🤷

fair wraith
#

hmm

#

don't think so

molten wedge
fair wraith
#

Oh got it

molten wedge
#

To answer your question though, yes it is something but its seemingly been blurred out and is only half readable

fair wraith
#

have we tried "unblurring" it? xD

molten wedge
#

Here is the closet we got

#

Oops hope I didnt ping Giriko

mortal ivy

Hey all you Shell-lock Holmes's! Looking for clues can be hard work and sometimes you see things that aren't there.....for example, today is not the day of the gameplay reveal. But nice try! While you wait for the real drop, there are more clues to uncover. Best efforts are needed soon!

mortal ivy
#

We are just blind @cedar owl, it’s probably staring us in the face 😂

would it be the 20th then?

Woohaw 🙂

fair wraith
#

so does this mean that there are more clues to find in the last concept art?

tulip matrix
#

I think there's many clues we have yet to find

narrow ridge
#

yeah

fair wraith
#

maybe we could use some help from the folks from BFEE

#

jk

#

so we have the / and either 125 or 126

#

that's everything

fair wraith
#

the mask the woman is wearing has its eyes pointing towards the blurred numbers on the barrel

#

don't know if that's intended or just coincidence

narrow ridge
#

is it just me or does it look like there's a D on the top right barrel

fair wraith
#

there's something but I can't make out a D

Can confirm there's some clues from yesterday's concept art that nobody has found. 🙂

fair wraith
#

cool, thx

#

one of the shoelace tips is red, the other is white

narrow ridge
#

that could be something

#

from far away it looked like a D

fair wraith
#

I can also see a "PO" instead of "O2"

#

I think it's leaning towards something like more unicode

#

just like 002F

sterile depot
#

there isn't any ee in the moneyrain concept art?

mortal ivy
#

I do think there is, but can't find anything.

#

Moneyrain was the first concept art with a name, and also the first photo posted to twitter. But the first clue was found in Slash

fair wraith
#

well we know for a fact that there's more to this one

sharp flame
molten wedge
#

I think I know what the crosses mean or rather this is just what I think

#

I think they are telling us we are wrong

fair wraith
#

omg that makes so much sense

#

how did I not think of that

#

but like

mortal ivy
#

I did think so too, but then Rob said that /galileo "should have worked since they posted that clue" #easter-eggs message

#

And /devoncrossing is exactly what the binary .! says, so that isn't wrong

#

So they aren't adding X after we have gone too far down the wrong rabbithole, the urls should be there from the clues are posted, meaning that its intended for us to reach them

molten wedge
#

Im gonna go over everything with the assumption that everything before was wrong and see if I can find anything new just in case

mortal ivy
#

That is a great approach nonetheless

fallen jasper
#

could the barrel be cordinates ?

mortal ivy
#

I found a new friend in BarrelsBarrelsBarrels

fair wraith
#

oh shit

tawdry jungle
#

fair wraith
#

can you outline the area on the image?

mortal ivy
fair wraith
#

ok this definitely looks like it was meant to be mirrored

#

what if you also mirror that vertically?

mortal ivy
#

Also, a uterus demon appears at the flammable symbol 🤷

fallen jasper
#

Wait

#

is that the cross

#

the 2 cross we found

mortal ivy
#

A lot of crosses appear when you mirror images, especially in the middle of it, it's inevitible

fallen jasper
#

true that

fair wraith
mortal ivy
#

Yeah sure, it said horizontally from the beginning and I didn't understand what you wanted me to do 😂

fair wraith
#

yeah sorry realized it later

sterile depot
#

what if 002F is a reference to the Slash concept?

mortal ivy
fair wraith
#

oh I meant mirror it vertically after it's been horizontally mirrored

mortal ivy
#

oh i see, so like a quad-mirror?

fair wraith
#

exactly

mortal ivy
#

Here's some more flips and tricks

fair wraith
#

nothing catches my eye

mortal ivy
#

Same here 😦

fallen jasper
#

hahahha

fair wraith
#

is it possible to mirror just this part?

cold forum
mortal ivy
#

Makes me glad to know that my spiral to insanity is at least bringing some joys to others 👼

fair wraith
#

the red being the axis

mortal ivy
#

Cut it out at the red line, flipped it both horizontal and vertically to match up with the other, came out looking like rings 🤷

fair wraith
#

I think the problem might be the low res not making it readable

#

is it even possible to do what you did and then look further away?

mortal ivy
#

Yep, I cant zoom in far enough without Photoshop starting to pixelate it

fair wraith
#

rip

#

oh wait, zoom out

granite walrus
#

Would it help to upscale the image?

mortal ivy
#

143% zoom with and without hue/saturation manipulation

granite walrus
#

802?

mortal ivy
#

(previous photo was 598% zoom)

fair wraith
#

really spotty to make something out

mortal ivy
#

Edit: Removed as it seems to be legit and I dont want a random person to be harassed 😅

cursive orchid
#

They somehow look cooler when they're mirrored

fair wraith
#

how long did it take to find something of relevance in the other concept art?

#

cuz this one seems considerably harder

the one with hue/saturation manipulation

what's the consensus on the name Galileo? it seems important

tulip matrix

The solution to this one is just gonna be the Loss meme

maybe Galileo is a character name

or, a brand name

mortal ivy
sharp flame
#

as the other URLs have been brands

tulip matrix
mortal ivy
#

devoncrossing doesnt seem like a brand or character though

devon crossing could totally be a brand

it's either that or a Location

timid solstice

are there any numbers in the corners like last time?

surely the next easter egg would be found by manipulating the image in some way

#

You just can't see some of the nails

timid solstice
#

1 thumb and 4 fingers on each hand

tulip matrix
fair wraith
#

It'd be more relevant if we could see all the nails and that only some of them are red

#

That would indicate it was more than likely a clue

mortal ivy
#

BarrelsBarrelsBarrels give me real Mirrors Edge vibes, speaking of nothing. The color scheme of the image, the vault jump Kabuki does and the typical "swat" enemy you encounter

So I mean this is new, up until now we thought it was only a soda or drink

Has to mean something for them to put it here

molten wedge

Yeah so I looked over everything and I no longer think that the crosses mean we are wrong

Oh no someone esaid it's not nvm

#

It's not og brand tho?

#

I thought it said OG BEANS

100% Beans

#

I thought OG too but OQ is not a bad one either

did anyone notice the thumb clipping into the helmet?

Nope haha

#

Original Beans?

slender lodge
#

Ye

#

Original spuze

fair wraith
#

Beans is probably not to be taken literally

#

What else could it mean

slender lodge
#

The bean can looked like the barrel lmao

#

I wonder if that was why they put it there

timid solstice
#

the res is so low...

fair wraith
#

Why not Pro Beans

slender lodge
#

I think the beancan and barrels could be related somehow

mortal ivy
#

Pro and OG are common gamer terms, nothing weird imo

fair wraith
#

Not a coincidence

slender lodge
#

Yeah I think it just might be like marketing buzz words

#

I might be dumb but I just saw a Mercedes Benz logo on the can

#

Can lid

fair wraith
#

I see it too

slender lodge
#

I swear I saw 'mercedes' somewhere else too

#

Ugh I gotta go back and check but I swear I searched it up too

#

I also realised that the O and U combined in OSPUZE actually is the can opening thing on the lid lop

#

Nice detail

fair wraith
#

The barrels all have 2 openings

molten wedge
#

Then could the p and the e be a key?

fair wraith
#

One of them is O shaped

#

And then there's that one with a C or a U

#

Or J

#

What's with the slaaaash

sterile depot
#

why I can't find ospuze on the search tool? I can find iseul tho

slender lodge
#

Yeah

#

Try ouszue

#

Nope

#

The search thingy is broken :((

slender lodge
#

It probs doesn't have it as a search yet

#

fair wraith
#

What's that search?

fair wraith
#

Is there anything this has returned?

pure loom

It's definitely a weird looking OG or OO

Pixel-level beans

timid basalt
#

og beans?

fair wraith
#

Yea

molten wedge
#

Defo a G

#

WIsh we could see the tiny text at the bottom

fair wraith
#

I think it's the same as the juice

molten wedge
#

Can we order some ENHANCE software from the CIA?

timid solstice
#

all power no sugar

does not match

fair wraith
#

Nvm it has to be something else

#

Since it's beans

timid basalt
#

its different

molten wedge
#

Yeah and cause the first line is longer than the second

timid basalt
#

the pro juice text is aligned to left and beans to right

fair wraith
#

Since we can't read it because of the resolution I'd bet it's not a clue

pure loom
#

No salt?

#

Maybe "less salt"

#

Or "lower salt" - the first word below the S of Beans is longer than the one below it

#

lol... or Lower Gas! kek

fair wraith
#

Salt is flammable, correct?

pure loom
#

Or "More Gas!" - goes with the flammable

pure loom
#

Salt melts at 800C

fair wraith
#

ah rip

slender lodge
#

800C

pure loom
#

The words on the lower right (which we can't read at all) - the top word looks quite a bit longer than the lower - Higher Gas maybe?

#

This little group of 3 pixels almost looks like an arrow pointing to the hidden words

fair wraith
#

oh god

#

sadly the hidden words are almost the same as 5 of these arrows

sterile depot
#

I tried upscaling the image with an AI but it is unintelligible

#

idk if I can share links

fair wraith
#

there's no info the AI can use to upscale

#

they are just white squares

#

think so

sterile depot
pure loom
#

The original pro juice is "all power no sugar," so maybe this is something like "all power no salt" or something similar

#

all power goes below the Z though, and this does not

#

barely

timid basalt
#

yeah but the alignment is different one is to left and the other to right

fair wraith
#

could be just different scaling

slender lodge
#

What does it say below og beans

#

I don't have my glasses on

timid solstice
#

glasses wont help

slender lodge
#

Lmao

#

Computer enhance

fair wraith
#

enhancing/upscaling won't either

#

not enough detail to upscale it

slender lodge
#

Ye

#

I usually don't find a need to upscale anything.. cuz upscaling loses a lot of fine detail

#

A lot of finer colours between pixels , but it's good for harder edges and or shadows

pure loom
#

This pixel looks like it is by itself - maybe an "a" like "a lot of" or something like that

timid solstice
#

Where was the file name someone posted?

slender lodge
#

pure loom
#

Maybe it could be broken down into this many words?

#

Either a 123/4 or 23/4

yeah, I reckon

#

hmmm... I wondered about "natural gas" which would go with the barrels

okay I may have something new

the sword handle may be fourteen '1' ?

and if I translate it from binary to unicode I have a chinese word

㿿

may it be something?

idk if it is chinese or japanese

plucky phoenix

probably nothing

sterile depot
#

I just talked with a chinese friend, and he told me that this word means 'wine cup', the thing is that he also told me that the word is very very similar to 'egg' WTF

#

so 'egg' translates to this: '蛋'

#

WAIT

#

if you google: 'what does '㿿' mean' it shows EGG

#

man im going crazy rn

#

additional info from my friend:

The bottom half of the word '蛋' is 虫, which means insects/worms
The bottom half of the word '㿿' looks a little like blood which is 血

The steam description describes "win escalating tournaments and lasting fame". So it may be multiple rounds of elimination fall guys style.

fallen jasper

so an elimination cage match styled arena shooter.

vale mason

The rounds are really short

fallen jasper

that isn't a time to kill.

vale mason

In this game you obviously have to kill your opponents, so if we’re talking even tf2 time to kill, games could take a while

vale mason
fallen jasper
#

tell me you hadn't played it without telling me you didn't.

vale mason
#

I’ve played it a ton. My point is, if you have a game that is supposed to be a cage match AND a shooter, then you have to have the ttk REALLY low, or rounds/matches could really drag out

solar smelt
#

Well I suspect you get knocked out you move on and matchmake a new game or spectate so I don't think mid to high ttk would be an issue

#

I think the idea was BR but the problem is that the map will eventually be crushed to rubble so every few minutes it switches map

#

Or when the number of teams halves maybe

🤔 My assumption is map size gets smaller like a normal BR but they give you different maps to fight on

A rebus () is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words or phrases.

Yes, most imagery points to Japan more than China: Samurai, Oni/Ronin/Kitsune masks, Wakizashi

And the kanji for egg is 卵 (tamago)

how sure are we that the Original Gangster album is connected

#

because now we need to find a way to connect devoncrossing, galileo, isuelt/cornwall, and The OG

#

also i think someone mentioned that galileo has a red X now on the site?

#

I'm thinking that every time we fully figure out a clue, they put it as a red X

#

the issue is, galileo and devoncrossing have been the only two that were almost directly, 100% confirmed by the art.

#

i tried the BFEE server with that but got no response

mortal ivy
#

No, the red X means we landed on the right url, not wrong

pure loom
#

I don't think it was nothing - I think the red cross just means we translated the binary correctly - we don't know the actual meaning behind it

daring bluff
pure loom
#

This is a bit like a jigsaw - we've joined a few pieces, but are still looking for edge pieces and have no corners...

daring bluff
#

yeah i mean clearly devoncrossing and galileo were worked out properly, so the X wouldnt mean "wrong" so to say

#

they wouldnt put them there if they meant nothing

what if we have to find some url like /ospuze/beans or something like that

I tried but I didn't get anything

I think the X means "you worked out the clue correctly" but it doesn't mean we have linked them together which should happen at some point (we may never link some of them)

Yea, I agree with that way of looking at it.

I think most people are confused by the ambiguity of a ❌. As it mostly means No/Wrong but it could also be ❌ marks the spot

At this point, some Embark employee should create a fresh discord acc and just drop some ”what about this” as it’s first and only post 🤷

I don't know whether this helps. I kinda see an E or F (looks like a mirrored dark E) on the metal lid of the OSP UZE beans can the man is carrying.

#

However, there's some /\ V shapes on Moneyrains belt

mortal ivy

This is normal, unmirrored, but slightly tilted. Am I insane to see the letters D I V A? (the white is traced over the black parts and then moved up for visibility)

slender lodge
#

Yeah it does look like that

mortal ivy
#

@boreal prism provided me with some images of the E / F

#

Was just about to share my own version of it as well. This is what i could see

slender lodge
#

I feel like there's a lottt of text interpretations in this image. I feel like it's 1 of 3 things:

  1. All the text found in this image is a pure coincidence. Humans are amazing at finding faces and text in places where there isn't any, especially with all the bias around it. For example, the '14' found by someone looked more like an H to me before I realised someone else thought of it as 14. It's everyone's different interpretations. So I think this could just be pure coincidences
  2. It could also be that the artists and Devs made this to troll us slightly by making a lot of text looking things. Think about it. Why would they have so much random interpretable text in an image that doesn't relate much. I mean they're seemingly random: 14, O2, EF..etc etc...! I mean they already gave us clues 2 images back to back with text in it. 1 image with binary. So now I'm personally thinking that it might still be in text form but also symbol form or something way different. Just something I was thinking about tho :)
  3. All the text found in this image is actually part of the EE and we just have to find a lot of connections between them. Maybe they're connected with just a few connections or maybe only 1. This image is different, cuz there's a lot of manually digitally painted stuff on it which makes it worse for us to interpret stuff because of previously mentioned accidental letter interpretations
slender lodge
mortal ivy
#

Oh, so that's what you meant previously!

mortal ivy
#

@boreal prism Also sent me this an O (or 0) / U

slender lodge
#

For sure haha
I'm sure we'll find something, but I'm also worried we're going too deep into things. I've done a lot of digital painting in the last 3 years, so many things that people identify as letters look like letters but the whole artworks artstyle also fits those random things people find so I'm stuck in a dilemma myself too. That's why instead of staring at an image for too long, I use a few things:
I rotate the image 90/180/270
I flip the image horizontally/vertically (so that I view the image differently and by looking at it upside down I'm focusing less on what I was doing last time than now)
Using different filters helps sometimes to see the image differently
Finding cross references between two or more artworks
