someone else mentioned that too
anyone else see a flipped THEFINALS logo
two X looking smudges
"H(some letter maybe)"
Hi maybe idk
@daring bluff i see the normal error
if those are Xs then this is too prob
yeah the weird one seems to have gone away
i feel like this is very much intentional
you are probably on the right path
the only thing I can see is 002F = / like some others have said
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
that document has so many weird coincidences
ikr
it has to be connected
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
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)
thank you ❤️
so we're expecting a reveal today?
gotcha, so not a launch, but actual gameplay, right?
i doubt launch is anytime this month.. maybe next month
considering the trailer is soon this month
so playtest as well
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.
then post playtest they need time to fix problems with the game
and then after that, probs the release date
hopefully something, it's going to be really sad
teaser for a teaser
if not
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
I felt like that was super lacking though, we didn't get that much info from it
Looks like mount doom on the background
mount doom?

This last EE gave us the / very quickly but has given little else to work on
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
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.
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
I do like this last image as concept art though - it looks good for the game
😫 Ikr
I hope the trailer doesn't get delayed because we're slow on the EEs
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
Today's one has frustrated me because we haven't even really had any leads
That's exactly how I think of it
Hahhaha I really hope not 😂
Like the best of Battlefield in an arena
We have ourselves a “purge” situation
Has anyone seen Bullet Train?
That’s the way to go
That a movie?
Yeah
I'll see if it's on Netflix tonight

(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
whole game is cancelled because a bunch of random chatters can't solve clues
if it actually happens then its not my fault 😭
i wonder tho, is it the THE FINALS dev team or THE FINALS dev team?

The THE FINALS.. of course
||
||
fr ?
no its a joke lol
nah ofc not lol
should probably add (SATIRE) in there @slender lodge
done hhahah

i found smth but idk if whether anybody seen this
@slender lodge can help me send the pic hahaha
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 
the outline color
oh u think it might be like morse?
i guess try it out :p there are some websites that translate
How did you see these markings?
Hello Blues, would you kindly pin this post? 🙏 #easter-eggs message
Thank you!
anytime! 
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
yess
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
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"
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.!
and also the "promise" present both here and in the second exif data message
@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.
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
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.
have we made sure the 3rd concept art doesn't lead to third page?
Yeah, I just hope it wasn't relying on us solving this EE...
they released another concept art only yesterday so I don't believe anything would happen today
or will
We can pray to Eggward
I'm heating up the frying pan, Eggward!
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.
The 002f was such a quick find as well, it needs to be something more within the image
The 14 marks on the katana handle were encouraging re 14 Sept, but I think we need something more meaty from this image.
Agreed, really doubt it all the image has is a "/"
Yeah there has to be something were missing
does it not have the numbers on the corners like the others?
No, the corners are clear
dead center?
My bet is soemthing on the barrels
has anyone tried isolating the image to only show the white dots?
see if it forms a shape or something
Yeah, I've messed with the colour channels a lot - nothing of note appeared
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
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... 
I'm gonna go back to bed - maybe I'll dream the answer lol - gl finding something in the meantime
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 🤷
Night
Check the pinned message in this channel
Oh got it
To answer your question though, yes it is something but its seemingly been blurred out and is only half readable
have we tried "unblurring" it? xD
You did, but it’s fine 😎

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!
We are just blind @cedar owl, it’s probably staring us in the face 😂
how soon is soon?
Guess you'll just have to wait and see!
well then.
Within a week then, give or take 5 years
Does cowpoke whooper say woohaw instead yeehaw?
Indeed.
WOOHAW
Woohaw 🙂
so does this mean that there are more clues to find in the last concept art?
I think there's many clues we have yet to find
yeah
maybe we could use some help from the folks from BFEE
jk
so we have the / and either 125 or 126
that's everything
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
is it just me or does it look like there's a D on the top right barrel
Can confirm there's some clues from yesterday's concept art that nobody has found. 🙂
I can also see a "PO" instead of "O2"
I think it's leaning towards something like more unicode
just like 002F
Shell-lock Holmes - I just watched S2E2 of Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cucumberpatch, The Hound of Baskerville. It takes place in Dartmoor. Both Devon and Exeter are spoken of 😉
Is anything supposed to be circled? Can't see anything
no I just thought I saw D but it was nothing
Can anyone else see any letters/numbers here?
I found this site today https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/ it offers some more ways to analyse images. If you feel stuck, like me, give it a go!
not really
Good to know Ive gone insane
there isn't any ee in the moneyrain concept art?
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
well we know for a fact that there's more to this one
everyone's insane here
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
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
Im gonna go over everything with the assumption that everything before was wrong and see if I can find anything new just in case
That is a great approach nonetheless
that's what I was thinking
could the barrel be cordinates ?
I found a new friend in BarrelsBarrelsBarrels
oh shit
nightmare fuel
can you outline the area on the image?
It's a mirroed image, and with the right brightness/contrast, it appears here
ok this definitely looks like it was meant to be mirrored
what if you also mirror that vertically?
Also, a uterus demon appears at the flammable symbol 🤷
A lot of crosses appear when you mirror images, especially in the middle of it, it's inevitible
true that
could you try this? @mortal ivy
Yeah sure, it said horizontally from the beginning and I didn't understand what you wanted me to do 😂
yeah sorry realized it later
what if 002F is a reference to the Slash concept?
oh I meant mirror it vertically after it's been horizontally mirrored
oh i see, so like a quad-mirror?
exactly
Here's some more flips and tricks
nothing catches my eye
Same here 😦
this look the most right
hahahha
Absolutely love that we're calling this a uterus demon
Makes me glad to know that my spiral to insanity is at least bringing some joys to others 👼
Cut it out at the red line, flipped it both horizontal and vertically to match up with the other, came out looking like rings 🤷
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?
Yep, I cant zoom in far enough without Photoshop starting to pixelate it
Would it help to upscale the image?
143% zoom with and without hue/saturation manipulation
802?
(previous photo was 598% zoom)
really spotty to make something out
Edit: Removed as it seems to be legit and I dont want a random person to be harassed 😅
Nothing except for awesomeness
They somehow look cooler when they're mirrored
how long did it take to find something of relevance in the other concept art?
cuz this one seems considerably harder
try upscaling it here
the one with hue/saturation manipulation
try solve the Jack Frags EE 😆
that's not comparable
I found the numbers in the egg statues within 5 minutes or so
but that wasn't the first art with the numbers hidden that way was it?
kind of looks like ARC
check the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/edit?usp=sharing
No, it was the second, but I had not been around for the first one and didn't know how they solved it. So I went in blind and just manipulated some sliders

oh aight
302
looks like ABC to me
Caesar cypher?
Morning! So… firstly, I was clearly wrong with the trailer date! Sorry! Secondly, the 14 marks on the katana handle are now up for grabs for other uses in this image.
but the B is stretching it
you let me down.
I’ll make sure it mostly doesn’t happen again. Maybe.
XD what was the other prediction for trailer?
I am thinking week 3
September 29
It’s the 14th in tomorrow somewhere
It's just an extra-leap-month
It's the 14th until it's the 29th
so you're right either way
The reversed OSPUZE logo is a lot stronger as a clue than anything else. Reverse it 14 times and voila!
They never said a trailer. These pieces of concept art could be what they are refering too
👀 where was this
👀 honestly. I am not really keeping track. To busy in IRL currently
this red shoelace aglet bothers me
aglet
I never knew that was called an aglet
what a word
Check out the brain on Duhmeister!
There was a meme a while back that people who grew up watching Phineas and Ferb knew the word anglet haha
it's the plastic or metal piece that holds the end together
you mean the thing my cat loves nibbling on? TIL!
Now you’re just showing off.
yes lol

okay easter-egg wise, apparently there are one, or more, left that we haven't found
Probably more
probably
There are multiple ones, in previous artpieces. But at least one in the barrelsbarrelsbarrels
yknow I had my doubts that there would even be easter eggs this early on
every. pixel. is an egg.
never been happier to be wrong
What type of gun is the soldier-looking dude using?
what's the consensus on the name Galileo? it seems important
https://www.reachthefinals.com/galileo it has a url
The solution to this one is just gonna be the Loss meme
yep seen that
maybe Galileo is a character name
or, a brand name
l | l i
ll | l _
as the other URLs have been brands
quick put that into the URL!
devoncrossing doesnt seem like a brand or character though
devon crossing could totally be a brand
probably not character
it's either that or a Location
hmm I don't read the message as there are clues in previous ones. Dusty said;
While you wait for the real drop, there are more clues to uncover. Best efforts are needed soon!
I read this as more clues coming so gather your strength, but saying this... there are more clues in the Barrels concept...
Can confirm there's some clues from yesterday's concept art that nobody has found.
are there any numbers in the corners like last time?
nope
surely the next easter egg would be found by manipulating the image in some way
gonna mess around with that
I've used photoshop + 3 different online tools and have 0 to show for it 😅
why is the new concept not on google drive yet?
I'm just thinking about what easter eggs wouldn't be uncovered by photoshop
her finger nails are also red tipped
but only four on each hand
How so?
I counted them with the help of my fingers
1 thumb and 4 fingers on each hand
we would assume they all have red nails
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
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
I think that confirms we have to go check Mirror's Edge for any clues
Makes sense since they were ex-DICE
I gladly play some ME, was my favorite game of the 360 era
I know that we know the answer to this already but I just re-watched the teaser and it clearly shows the banner thats missing in the promo screenshot...
Oh, nice nice! Keen eyes on that one
Which promo screenshot do you mean?
if something is in the Barrels image that it is definately in the file, i'm looking at a hex editor now. not seeing anything, but i also am not well versed in this
Barrels - we should also look closely at the gun barrel.
Oh, gotcha. 👍
Good morning Rockhound 🙂
well it starts with 0xFFD8 and ends with 0xFFD9.... so that's normal and thats all i know how to check in the steg
Name: Solidus
Solidus on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solidus_(coin)
The solidus (Latin 'solid'; pl. solidi), nomisma (Greek: νόμισμα, nómisma, lit. 'coin'), or bezant was a highly pure gold coin issued in the Late Roman Empire and Byzantine Empire. Constantine introduced the coin, and its weight of about 4.5 grams remained relatively constant for seven centuries. In the Byzantine Empire, the solidus or nomisma r...
Everything that's been found or is important is pinned 🙂
And that means nothing has been found since last you were online @slender lodge 😂
Thanks
😂😂 alright
I did tag you earlier, #easter-eggs message
I think we might need some help eheh
circling back around to roman empire lol
👀 me looking at all of you rn
Helpppp
🕵️ 😌
.!!!..!! .!!..!.! .!!.!!!. .!!..!.. ..!..... .!!.!... .!!..!.! .!!.!!.. .!!!....
Guys check her eye!!
Why is there a white spot in her right eye?
Is it just a reflection?
Dusty come back! ... please
No way to zoom in close enough on a 1080p image, if it had been 4k, maybe we could have seen some reflection
Oh my bad
I might've scrolled past it
np just thought you should know
<3
Interesting. The Byzantine Empire comes up multiple times with these guys - it was even mentioned in the BF1 'The Room' Easter egg that I ran through in my last video.
Maybe the / is a red herring?
Solidus solidus solidus
Flavius Belisarius was the Military commander who worked under Justinian I to recapture most of Italia and the mediterrane.
Just to save you all time: Byzantine Empires are not secrets. 🔍 🕵️
No point in spending 5 hours on learning all about the different emperors then 😦
I think it's a given that the "O2" is a thing we have to work with
And these 3 partially blurred numbers or letters are also a point of interest
Isn't it C2? I kinda see C in there
I saw a "PO" ahah
O2 = Oxygen?
@cedar owl I would like to put in a request for the Barrels image to be made into a desktop wallpaper, please.
haha, no, O is Oxygen
Or dioxide! Whatever.
I'll pass this along as well!
Thanks!
I'll see if I can get it soon! 

Our favorite word
I'm pleased it's not "meh" 
OG BEANS is not right then?
Dissect the bean can!
O with the subscript of 2 may not be the element Oxygen but it is the Oxygen Molecule
I read it as OG Beans
I worded that weirdly and I blame it on a lack of sleep
Oh
Right
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
Yeah so I looked over everything and I no longer think that the crosses mean we are wrong
I thought it said OG BEANS
Actually yeah ahah
Nope haha
yeah
I've been looking every pixel hahah
same
Og
Original Beans?
The bean can looked like the barrel lmao
I wonder if that was why they put it there
Why not Pro Beans
I think the beancan and barrels could be related somehow
Pro and OG are common gamer terms, nothing weird imo
Think so too
Not a coincidence
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
I see it too
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
The barrels all have 2 openings
Then could the p and the e be a key?
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
why I can't find ospuze on the search tool? I can find iseul tho
Yeah
Wtf
Try ouszue
It probs doesn't have it as a search yet
Idek if we're supposed to be using that
Sometimes I just spam random 3 letters
What's that search?
Is there anything this has returned?
It's definitely a weird looking OG or OO
The OU above almost looks like it's on wheels
I mean it worked before
it never worked for me searching "ospuze"
me neither, always had to click from home page
Pixel-level beans
og beans?
Yea
I think it's the same as the juice
Can we order some ENHANCE software from the CIA?
all power no sugar
does not match
its different
Yeah and cause the first line is longer than the second
the pro juice text is aligned to left and beans to right
Since we can't read it because of the resolution I'd bet it's not a clue
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! 
Salt is flammable, correct?
Or "More Gas!" - goes with the flammable
ah rip
800C
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
I tried upscaling the image with an AI but it is unintelligible
idk if I can share links
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
yeah but the alignment is different one is to left and the other to right
could be just different scaling
glasses wont help
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
This pixel looks like it is by itself - maybe an "a" like "a lot of" or something like that
Where was the file name someone posted?
BarrelsBarrelsBarrels?
ye
Maybe it could be broken down into this many words?
Either a 123/4 or 23/4
Yeah it is a bit
Hunting for these hints has killed me goodnight everyone and goodluck
Looking for inspiration...

Probs not something that would be put in an EE though.
you guys go every direction.. love it
It's definitely a weird name - but then in some ways that's to be expected to avoid trademark issues
OSPUZE
05PU23
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
probably nothing
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
lowkey this is all just to keep us pacified until the playtest
What if it carries on into the game?
Maybe this is actually the game. You’re already in the playtest! Everyone having a good time? 

is there a date for the playtest?
“Is the play test in this room with us?”
right
YOU.
YOU
Go back to dpl, loser
Well, time to make a community league for The Finals
Yeah, same
I have no clue what the game is about I just seen the steam thing
it looks cool tho
Supposed to be some kind of arena shooter
From former battlefield devs, but no gameplay yet
And we’re here trying to see if there’s any hidden messages in the promo art (devs said there were, so yeah)
It really does
right gotcha
Is ice-t popular in Sweden? Of all places
an arena shooter with battlefield physics.
👀 or maybe they are releasing the nerve gear and we are getting the first ever IRL VR head set that allows us to play with full dive
But what does arena shooter even mean? Titanfall 2? Quake? Seem like it wouldn’t fit with battlefield, a “on the ground” shooter
yeah.
arena shooters like Titanfall 2 and COD, but with battlefield destruction.
Seemed like it would also be a battle Royale type- “reach the finals”
do you count fall guys as a br?
The steam description describes "win escalating tournaments and lasting fame". So it may be multiple rounds of elimination fall guys style.
so an elimination cage match styled arena shooter.
Not really, but the ttk must be super low if it’s going to be like fall guys
how is there a ttk in fall guys?
The rounds are really short
that isn't a time to kill.
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
If ya win, you don’t have to wait more than 3 minutes for the next round
people don't even die in fall guys, how is there a TTK in that game?
tell me you hadn't played it without telling me you didn't.
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
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
Sure, I’m just thinking of apex arena - rounds just drag out so long, even if you are winning
Definitely, though it’s been like this for quite some time if we get a gameplay reveal this month
gameplay reveal waiting room 
rounds only drag out if everyone dies
Of the gas cans
Just chat a bit more and you'll get the rising star role
Contestant is very close to it
You can still post links I guess if you wanna upload an image to imgur
So much work 
Any minute now!
How’s your day been
@pure loom sorry for ping, but I swear that looks like a backwards C on the rim of the can
not sure maybe playing finals maybe waiting for arc raiders, maybe another new game who knows
It’ll be interesting to see how they mtx those games though
mtx?
Micro transactions
oh
F2P nexon games so of course to be expected. The finals for sure it has cosmetics and clothes since that's such a big focus
Market rotation or loot box im not too sure
Yeah, wonder if they’ll have a balenciaga collab
Nooooooo not the loot boxes
The game does seem to be inspired by streetwear/hypebeast culture with all the sponsors and brand designs lol
It's gotta make money somehow so that may unfortunately be the case
Apex and OW run with it fine
Don’t remind me lol. Been wanting that rampart wrench for forever
Overwatch gives them out like they’re going bad though
I want the butterfly knife
And it sucks even more cuz my brother got an heirloom at level 27
You’ve fought your way through 10 teams only to get killed by a guy sitting in a corner with a butterfly knife
I finally got it!
Wdym
I can do this
?
Post images
Ohhh
I can be happy now
By "I finally got it" I thought you meant the heirloom
I wish lol 
Looking now
I was AFK for a bit
Looks a bit like Pepe
has any progress been made?
Still trying to work out the symbols before the beans - for certain
Maybe just the camo variation
Maybe it's a another location on the map like Devon 🤔
where did u get that
oh nvm
i thought the OG was an infinite symbol
Infinite beans 
Yeah, I tried that already
rockhound is like
I put in /canyouseeme
rock is like dr strange
"ive seen 500 million possibilities to this easter egg"
"in how many worlds have we solved it"
"one, and we're not one of them yet"
It also looks like the business end of a double-barreled shotgun
what about 002F?
have you tried overlaying the pictures? use the x's from most recent to maybe find something?
No, I haven't. I'm really focusing on the can of beans to work out what the "OG" or "OO" or "OC" or whatever is.
definitely OG, though I think those misplaced pixels may be the "debris" effect
But what can OG stand for apart from original gangsta or original...
those URLs don't work
gotcha, did you ever figure out the rebus thing with the samurai?
I can't actually remember what that was lol! I think the samurai only gave us Devon Crossing - which we still haven't really tied to anything
gotcha, just found it interesting the use of "rebus" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus odd stuff
A rebus () is a puzzle device that combines the use of illustrated pictures with individual letters to depict words or phrases. For example: the word "been" might be depicted by a rebus showing an illustrated bumblebee next to a plus sign (+) and the letter "n". It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote sur...
dev1 and public branch arent the same now
so maybe there is an ready to play/playtest version
where was the word used?
I still can't recall - or do you mean it might be a rebus?
sunt numeri in rebus - the samurai art https://twitter.com/reachthefinals/status/1566849006503952386
Oh! That was me using that - "there are numbers in things"
It was just a way of saying I see this is an easter egg
OOOOOOH I thought you had found something saying there was something to be found in the rebus LMAO
lol

It was like an easter egg response to an easter egg
When the art was posted: "More concept art for you to feast on!" - Feast suggesting something about the beans
There is a reddit for some reason... https://www.reddit.com/r/Ospuze/
"All power, No sugar" is the subtext on the can
Yeah, I've bean... ahem... been trying to figure out what the subtext on the can could be, but the main thing is to work out what the "OG" or "OO" beans means.
ITS A THING
You did! It had just been found a while back 😉
darn. welp, I'm going to go to bed, feel free to ping me if ya find anything
I may be reading into this too much and im not any good at solving easter eggs like yall are but when looking up the words "devon crossing" in google there is an instagram page based on animal crossing but in the bio talks abouts Devon Island which is an actual location in Canada I have no idea if it means anything but idk.
Oh my goodness, it really is hard to read 😅
That’s what I’ve BEAN saying! 🫘🫘🫘
I just assume it means Original Beans
Which is fine. But what does it mean?!
That doesn’t fly as a URL
Yeah, I’ve tried many things like that.
Yeah, that account has nothing to do with this.
ok
Someone actually messaged them 😂
or does it have everything to do with this 
I wondered that about ABBA.
Subliminal messages in Dancing Queen
They’ve been prepping us since birth.
That was fast. 
But not quite fast enough, apparently. 
^ me after the trailer didn’t drop today/yesterday
I feel like that after staring at a picture for probably more than 8 hours and not seeing anything of value for 7 of them 😅
any thoughts on this? #easter-eggs message
do you think it's just pure coincidence?
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.
"it should have worked since we posted that clue..." - Embark Rob earlier
Not at all - I was just listening to it while I was trying to work it out - it might not even say OG
everything else we've found has been pretty up for grabs/uncertain
oh lmao
oop
this is pure pain
we need more people
tbh
yeah hence the reaction lol
there just has to be something fairly obvious we missed
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1019438639186444338/unknown.png
we need someone who knows mandarin
Well, we still haven't fully understood why Devon Crossing is even there. Or Galileo. In fact, apart from getting the basics of those clues, we know very little.
i tried the BFEE server with that but got no response
My colleague is fluent, I can ask her but its so hard to see what it is
No, the red X means we landed on the right url, not wrong
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
true... its going to be a just a piece of info that leads us to other things but isnt super significant on its own, like devoncrossing or galileo
This is a bit like a jigsaw - we've joined a few pieces, but are still looking for edge pieces and have no corners...
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
feel free to do random guesses in your browser, I've tried almost everything that came to my mind
yes this is highly likely how we find the big ending of the EE
i interpreted the ❌ as a "close but no cigar"
I interpret it as 'come back when it's ready'
Like the page will update when the gameplay is dropped or something
Maybe disregard my earlier post; After re-reading it, did you mean "Devoncrossing" and "Galileo" are the right clues but not where we are meant to end up?
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
Exactly.
Does this help?
Alien beans
A true masterpiece! 👏
Beany McBean, the Bean Being
I digitally upscaled the image to 4k, so i could zoom better (probably lost secrets in the photo while doing so as well)
I think it's a G, but the white in between is just smudge/noise/fuzz from zooming
i see a mix of a Q and G
Australian Aborigines put a dot in a circle to represent a watering hole - just to think right outside the box

we already gave enough hints last night, you're on your own for now 
This would seem the most likely.
you can join the beta test over on our steam page! easter egg hunting you can start by checking pins for everything the community has found so far 
Thanks! 🙏
I’ve tried that already though. OG can also stand for Orange. Orange Beans URL doesn’t work either.
I'm already registered to the beta test, but this is not in beta right now ?
not yet, it's starting soon though 
since we have found new information, let me know if there's anything to be pinned
Where is the last image we get ?
Organically Grown doesn’t work either
That was the first thing I tried
While listening to Ice-T! 
No luck with that either
Good idea, but sadly not
It looks like a G but it’s not 100% clear
or just Original
Yeah, OG can just stand for original
No luck
I even tried Objective Glass to tie in Galileo’s telescope.
Rn I’m trying OG Names like Ice-T, Scarface etc.
As a rule, you can pretty much rule out any living person or any trademark, as the devs wouldn’t want to risk any issues with that sort of thing.
Alright thanks for the heads up
It could still allude to those things though.
i see
Maybe the artwork needs to be interpreted somehow. There doesn't seem to be any clear clues this time around.
I think this is the way to go
We might need to analyse the actual image, imagery, hidden meanings etc
It's how many offsprings that have been conceived by the local bunny family on that barrel
It's a separate easter "egg" hunt
Lol. Very good.
erm the mod said we found new info... what was it?
I just read through last 9 hours and theres nothing
maybe someone can make a recap later today for me or Wooper to pin
recap: We found something
this is so confusing
hey look at these reactions... seems like my interpretation was correct
All I can think of is that we brought up the OG beans again
but that was noticed at the start
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.
I've flipped the image now, but I can't make out anything on the can lid 🤔
However, there's some /\ V shapes on Moneyrains belt
Tom Tom code only works with / and\
To me it looks like either a G or C with a dot in the middle
I don't think it's Q cuz with most Q's they have a line extruding out of the O
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)
Yeah it does look like that
@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
I feel like there's a lottt of text interpretations in this image. I feel like it's 1 of 3 things:
- 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
- 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 :)
- 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
I actually thought it looked like a Mercedes Benz logo lool
Oh, so that's what you meant previously!
Totally agree with this, but also doing what I can to grasp at straws as I've already dedicated an absurd amounts of hours staring at this picture and just want to find SOMETHING of importance 😂
@boreal prism Also sent me this an O (or 0) / U
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
1 and 7
I'm going to dive into Isuelt btw
Got a very old extract from Tristan and Isolde from an Irish historian I know 😉
I can not post images but I seems pretty clear that the top barrel has been marked with "426.", "436." or "486." on the top. Has this been investigated?
I looked into this previously, as Yellow brought it up two times:
manipulated the colors and rotated the image and the blurry text seems to read 1 2 6 (#easter-eggs message)
I could stretch the first char for being an "A" instead of "4" but not a "1".
Well, it was pure guessing from me 😅 So it could probably say whatever
how is that mandarin
this means egg
bandit
:(
my gf said bandit
noun
- bandit
- robber
It kinda does :0
right
