@slender lodge
He didn't say someone found it tho
"since we found new infomation" isn't
the new information could just be all the tinfoil suggestions and not anything significant
I thought the information is talking about embark dropping new image
ahh
^ i was thinking of that aalso
reminds me, need to buy more tinfoil for users of this chat 😆
Layer it up
hahahahaha
danggggg
:0
0,0
we don't have community mods atm (maybe in the future)
Let's trace back ig haha

Thanks for the clarification
wait
so if it is slash
"/"
if we flip it then combine both isn't a cross
idk just a guess
putting a "." followed by another character after the slash in the url goes to a different 404 page
or more than ".." also does the same
nothing relevant :p
BRICK-51
An alien brick?
That error message I'm p sure is just when you type in a URL with invalid characters or smth
u can hear this gif
this still cracks mme up lmao
the shoe lace end kinda looks like a matchstick or even a thermometer
flammable liquid 
right
Hey everyone, first time writing but I am lurking from the beginning with great interest 👀
Just a question, did we already stumbled on that one? https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t
It's showing up a whole new concept I'm not sure to have seen so far
(I can't post image sorry 😬)
Sorry I missed that 😅
Both iseul-t and ospuze have a logo on the botton left of reachthefinals.com 😊
That you can click on*
wait
so if it is slash
"/"
if we flip it then combine both isn't a cross
idk just a guess
I've gone through a path of putting every single brand we saw on the artworks in the URL but nothing so far (again I might overlap what you already did, better multiple times than never 😛 )
This reminds me of the multiples "arrows" that were found here: #easter-eggs message
may be is up down down up ?
have you guys figured out what that symbol could be
don't have image perms so don't know if that'll show up for you
Some people tried to guess but nothing definitive yet
tried google translating it with google lens but didn't detect any language
clue is with the can
The Easter Egg gods smile on us!
File is called "friend_you_need.jpg"
Appropriate.
Smiling? more like crying.
btw I noticed we may need another recap, if someone is brave enough to go all the way back to gather all information I can pin it! 
I feel personally attacked for my stupidity 
whyyyy
Or variations of it
That’s the first idea I tried after Original Gangster / Gangsta
I’ve tried probably 50 variations of what OG could be

all this
you dont learn do you
oh
shit
you don't learn do you?"" photoshop:LayerText="RockHoundBlack"
Yeah, that’s what I said they’d put in there to say we shouldn’t be looking at the meta data. Data mining is considered a no-no when trying to solve EEs
Hilarious they wrote that
Hahahahha right
Grats on yellow, Ramen!
I would happily write a recap - if I knew what to recap 😆
Like the beans can 
yey finally yellow
The recap would only cosist of weird guesses 😅
You should just add to your pin, that has alot of stuff thats been circled around. just add the OG beans
I think we need to come up with a URL based on OG BEANS or something relating to that
I’ve honestly run out of ideas - I’ve tried so many now
I’m gonna eat and walk my doggo. Then I will try to recap and dive into the Beaneggo
Eg organically grown
stealthy taste
there's your answer
the pixel's have spoken
Yeah, what OG could relate to stealthy?
original gangster 😂
OG can stands for one word isn't
lmfaoo
ngl im very lost in this hunt
Convert it back to binary maybe?
we've identified many things but after galileo it's been confusing to me
I tried samurai beans. Nothing.
What are the original beans? Baked? Jack and the beanstalk beans?
I can only think of heinz beanz 😂
old school ?
While some historians have theorized that baked beans had originated from the cassoulet or bean stew tradition in Southern France, this is unlikely as the beans used to make baked beans are all native to South America and were introduced to Europe around 1528
Stuff made sense up until finding 8601, but after that 🤯
after that we stepped low into ''is this Q or C"
F or E? Does this say PO or O2 😂😅
does this hit anything <?xpacket end="w"?>
What’s this from?
thats there in like almost every single image i think
is from the image
but they told us not to dig into the image's data didn't they?
l | | l
l l | l_
but they might drop clue for us to find i guess
whats this o.o
loss
Yeah. We shouldn’t look at the meta data.
yes they are re-affirming not too
I like that they leave cute clues in the metadata strings ❤️
Clues about the clueless 

Original… ARC Raiders Beans! /jk
It won’t be a trademarked brand name
I followed the "Devon Crossing" route and stumbled on that page: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Philip_Holditch
Look at the date of death, 1608 👀
I might be going crazy don't mind me lol
Don't we have mutliples dates with these numbers?
I’ve tried oldbeans theoriginalbeans monacobeans (the original teaser map) - all no luck
monacobeans
i think someone with a trawler would have found a hidden page
this is something else
unless "stealthy taste" means its really hidden somehow
They wouldnt open up a hidden page before the clue is postef
I tried Devoncrossingbeans and devonbeans
So you would to re-run the bruteforce search attempt after every new clue art
Based only on uncertain descriptions of the first practical telescope which Hans Lippershey tried to patent in the Netherlands in 1608, Galileo, in the following year, made a telescope with about 3x magnification. He later made improved versions with up to about 30x magnification. With a Galilean telescope, the observer could see magnified, upright images on the Earth—it was what is commonly known as a terrestrial telescope or a spyglass.
Coming from Galileo's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei
We shouldn’t use techniques that subvert the clue process. That’s the whole point of the Easter egg hunt - to actually solve it properly
We had 8601 which we chalked up to iso8601, but it rearranges to 1608 yes 🤔
Galileo discovered Jupiters moons in 1609 or 1610 (dec 09/ jan 10)
Or the Galilean moons* of jupiter
And on that Hans Lippershey wikipage, we can see 1608 popping up quite a few times as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Lipperhey
1209
0912
0110
1001
The moon Io caught my eye, as Moneyrain has a logo that looks like io/10 twice on his outfit
these have resolutions right
and remember 1400x787
idk about 1400 but theres an image with 903x787
of jupiter
I tried Lippershey, Aristotle (first scientist) and variations of them
I actually tried Io when Galileo first came up
And 01 beans
Wouldn't put too much thinking into random images, they can be whatever resolution. Its when concept art and "crafted" images don't follow normal resolution sizes either meant for monitors or phone screens that are a bit weird
Capone beans (original gangster?)
Yea, I've tried it as well 😦 Thought it was a neat coincidence
i was mentioning the pic embark posted
it was originally 1920x1080
but then they changed it to 1400x787
yeah its odd but maybe a mistake
i dunno, i still tihnk its intentional
Yes, I am aware. That is weird, but the different image sizes of the jupiter moons are nothing out of the ordinary i'd say
they're not, i was just looking at them just incase yk
I wouldn't call it a mistake to remove a 1920x1080 image and upload a lower resolution one, that doesn't follow traditional resolutions. That seems odd, and perhaps intentional
Wait, OG beans, would that mean coffee ?
Oh how so
I googled OG Beans and found coffee in the top searches
Last recap of potential clues that looks like they are all / mostly all wrong: #easter-eggs message
Here's what has happened since. And remember, this is nothing confirmed or true. Everything below here is only guesses and most of it is probably wrong or nonsense.
Some light discussion on what the bean can says under the word beans compared to what the pro juice can says.
Thoughts regarding Chinese characters: 蛋 / 㿿
Discussion whether the X on urls meant Wrong or Correct. (It means Correct clue found, most likely).
@pure loom shared a cute picture of Alien Bean, a Bean Being
A lot of discussion whether it said OG, OC, OO or something else entirely on the bean can.
@tawdry jungle refused to give hints, even though previous hint was only that we haven't found the clue we have been hard a work looking for haha
More OG / OC ... discussion
@hexed sonnet saw the number 14 and a lil bunny on a barrel
And the letters EF on another barrel
Even more OG / OC discussion
I, @mortal ivy, had a mental breakdown and got the letters D I V A from some squiggly lines on Moneyrain's belt
@boreal prism shared a possible E / F on the bean can lid, and a possbile O on one of the barrels
@stuck basalt had a new take on the previous 1 2 6 on the top barrel: 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?
Some more discussion regarding chinese characters: 我 / 匪 /
@fallen jasper had a different take on the C on the barrel cap, thought it looked like a smiley face
Discussed the shoelace tip (aglet) that's red colored.
WE GOT A PICTURE OF A HAPPY EGG WITH OG BEANS! (They have a stealthy taste!)
A lot of testing with different bean related words into the url, no success.
(Couldn't link any messages, not enough characters left.)
shared a cute picture of Alien Bean, a Bean Being fantastic lol
It's cute: #easter-eggs message
Read the bold at the top, says we have nothing to go on. And the message had one (1) character left before it was "too long"
Whatagreatidea,whydidn'tIthinkofthat?
Easyenoughtoreadandgivesplentyofextracharacters
UseCamelCaseIt'sEasyToReadReallyLongText - jk
uppercasetakesuptoomuchspaceandmyshiftkeyisdelicate
I believe the EggFriend in the last shared picture is just there to settle the OG / OO / OC debate
Yes, and to give clarity on what the small text says.
it means we are back to the barrels
As for 蛋, it's called "Dan" yes it is egg and commonly chicken egg, white egg. But for 㿿, it's called "ya", and it's an ancient Chinese character and is not used in everyday life and it means cup or something like that. They are very different.
OG
14
EF
DIVA
426 / 436 / 486
我 / 匪 - (Let's go with egg for now)
Have we tried mixing these up?
Can EF be EE, as in Easter Egg?
And from my point of view, it is 匪("fei"). Because it has a square around the character, it means bandit, robber that's correct. But 我 just means "I" or "me", doesn't mean anything else. And because she holds a katana so I think we might even consider 匪 in Japanese
匪 in Japanese
negation
否定, 否認, 打ち消し, 否決, 虚無, 匪
wicked person
匪
Thank you super much for the infos Orpheus 🙂
Is the H in RockhoundBlack's name in the LayerText capitalized as a clue? Do they give clues in the file data? 🤔
No they do not, and they actively say so in the strings of the past. They just keep adding some lines there after they, by mistake, shared the binary solution to devon crossing in the layer text of the first upload of the Slash image
Oh, okay 👍🏻
But in fact I feel it's neither 我 nor 匪. Because it just doesn't look like them. The right part of 匪 has three horizonal lines but the picture doesn't.
Wowowow
Lmaooo
Language 😆
草泥馬
I would say that there is possibly 0 chinese characters or japanese kanji in the image, it's just to squiggly. I just looks like it COULD be (and probably will be, in game)
Also, totally unrelated, I found this while creating a quiz for work tomorrow:
Alfred Hitchcock explained to an interviewer in 1963: "I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened; they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes, and when you break it, inside there's that yellow thing, round, without any holes…Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it."
Eggward would be so sad 
a hint was dropped earlier today though? 🤔
act like I don't know anything @tawdry jungle walk me through it.. to check if you also got it.. 😉
how about going further back in the recap? thinking of putting one big post with all the information
I hit the character limit
all hints were dropped in this channel so far
not that far back
this is probably the clue #easter-eggs message
oh ok I missed that
you could say that eggward is handing you the answer
so it's in the bean can
did you actually link to all my posts HAHAHA
Yes, and Dustys
now is it on this bean can or on the concept art can
mod said "we got more information" and then the new image has "rockhoundblack" so im guessing rock found something in the midst of all the wrong answer? idk
🤔
I think it's only to point us to the can in the concept art
eggward is handling us the answer
But now we know what the tagline was
they made this new artwork just so we know whether its a Q or G
rockhound was there analysing pixels 💀
in hindsight thats really funny
My thinking of the Bean Friend was to settled the OG Bean discussion and give us "stealthy taste". And that it's basically just
with two open eyes and a can of beans + halo
steal thy beans
steal beans -> go
go steal my beans
this is gonna take some.. thy-me to solve

what's stealthy on the concept art?
i guess the girl?
but it wouldn't make sense that stealthy was the key
quiet
Any progress fam?
none ;-;
because we only got this high res can because we haven't solved it yet
so I would say stealthy means nothing
like 'nothing' or nothing
Lol
it's just pointing us to the concept art can
mayhaps
100%
rethew do u see mercedes benz
I do but just because you mentioned it
that o and u on ospuze
it looks like a 9 backwards
or a 6
or like a lock
unlocked
69
it looked like a can opener
like the thing on the can to open it
ykwim?
or that
I tried /eatyourbeans - unbelievable… it didn’t work 
so
damn I had high hopes for that one
since the new image handing us the bean can has your name @pure loom in the exif data
and given that you discovered the alien guy on the bean can beforehand
I would say we should look closer into that

eggebeen
beans with eggs
How about /Iamreallystartingtodislikebeans
i never liked beans anyways
imagine that comes up with smth
It says have a scrambled egg instead
lmfaoo
I tried Iseul-tbeans too - because she looks stealthy
But cross-sponsor there
And Season0beans

I am workinbg my ass off with these old Isolde stories
Great!
We’ll all learn quite a lot through these EEs
I'm mostly focussing on the combination of Isolde and "bias Wrecker"
I’ve learnt that a bias wrecker is a K-Pop thing
Iseul (이슬) is a South Korean singer under StarLight Entertainment. She is a member of the group Sequoia. Iseul is often the only quiet one in the group. She is naturally shy and reserved, letting her contrast the other, chaotic members. Fans love watching her VLives as they are always calming and quiet. Iseul is the member who loves comfortable ...
The K-pop fandom is vibrant and exciting––complete with its own slang. Here are 10 K-Pop terms you need to know.
^ Bias wrecker
Interesting that Iseul-t sounds similar to Ice-T
The OG
so ...
a “bias wrecker” is a member who unexpectedly catches a fan’s attention and makes them rethink their original bias.
inb4 The Finals soundtrack is all KK-pop
Let's assume that Isuel the korean singer is not the person we're looking for
but we are looking at Isolde
can we find a part of Isolde's story that makes us rethink her origin..
beans > magical fruit > magic numbers > hex dump
OG Beans could mean binary?
0G lollll
The enigma machine code-breaker was kinda the original computer right? I tried /enigmabeans no luck
the oni masks and katanas seem very asian inspired too so I wouldn’t even be surprised


not following ?
yeah same
00000000 <-- they look a bit like beans - I tried this though - nothing.
I agree - but a different sponsor to OSPUZE
yeah 🤔
^ @narrow ridge
We got a better view of the can'o'beans in the barrels image
Republic of Beans: A Selective History of Beans
Food for thought...
im hungry
Nice!
Have you guys found anything
We're still bashing away at the can of beans clue from the Barrels image
Soldier + Beans = soldier beans
Trying to see why it's called BarrelsBarrelsBarrels
lots of barrels
I'm counting 5
yeah theres five
I think they meant the name had 3 barrels unlike the image
5 plus a small barrel of beans
Tiny barrel/can/tin
They were going to put the beans in a large barrel, but that idea got canned.
lol GIF failure!
heyy I have a question
do you guys know if they are gonna be anything single player?
Nothing mentioned at this stage
ahh gotcha
none of that is known, best to chat in game chat for that stuff
It looks to be exclusively a co-op team/squad based game
unless an EE reveals that info
yeah sorry about that no one was active there
All good! 🙂
I would buy the game even it was 60 dollars like the trailer looks soo amazing and maybe it would look cool in single player
Oh yeah sorry haha
I've tried searching stuff related to the bean can being a small barrel
But then we lose the OG side of things soooo
Based on the last shared picture, we can say it's a G without a doubt
I'm just joking haha
It's become a little bit of an inside joke cuz we spent way too long on that smol question
so we can't find anything about the beans, what else is there left to try?
I think if we can't find anything now, it's safe to just wait for the next clue to come by 🙂
1400x787
:_) my passion project is to find what that is
that's my...............new year's resolution
ahem
yeah we should as well
Why can't we go backwards for once. Backwards, really fast, as fast as we can.
--James Halliday, Ready Player One
That's how Parzival solved the first puzzle
I did the same
And crashed into the wall
The game art really reminds me of a semi-rp1 with the coins and everything
Perhaps 3 is a magic number, at least we need 3 to open the final gate.
This is from Ready Player One novel
3 barrels, barrels rhymes with days, OMG IT COMES OUT IN 3 DAYS!!!1!!!!1!11
we solved it
@ Mod | Blues pin this please
galileo was a hoax
It's like we clicked something together with devoncrossing and Galileo, but didn't make them fully function
Devon is a great place for stargazing, for what I could Google. Galileo was an astronomer. And you pointed out an "arrow" in the bean can, maybe that's like a star? Maybe there's a constellation hidden in the image? 🤔
WITH THE X's!
that are on the barrels, front and center
Wait, where are you noticing the X's ?
smudges on the barrels!
Last time binary says 00101111 and it means / and it worked out as devoncrossing. So I guess this time because of 002F and it works out as /, perhaps we need find letters in UTF-16BE form to translate into letters
i found many but idk which ones are valid
and which one's are just something im seeing as a personal interpretation
that’s actually a good point
last time it was a binary “/“ and a binary answer, this time its a UTF-16BE “/“ and it should be a UTF-16BE answer
within 0123456789abcdef
I dunno three barrels and on finals website you only need 3 letters to search?
lol
but i wouldnt do a random search i think that'd defeat the purpose of the easter egg
and ofc i regret doing that one day too
If first is / but we still have 2 barrels and one more beans can
262626=17576 it's impossible to do a random search not to mention the numbers
power of permutations and combinations is far greater than that my friend
So let's try to find them in the picture?
308915776 possible outcomes
with repetition
so lets get to worse bois
If only we had an original 4k version art...
O2 on a flammable barrel
isnt O2 = oxygen? so then it go boom
idk chemistry but doesnt oxygen add fuel to the fire
that'd be sick
im a bit confused where they actually are lol
like what is that backdrop
cant figure it out
presumably part of it is the sky
the right side looks so 2D/some kind of wall
maybe the backdrop is a clue
honestly the white part looks more like an actual sky
yeah
the darker blue and white have texture to them
so i dont think thats the sky
theres some sort of significance in game
yeah i noticed that
but its almost like the left side blue is different
could explain the 0 G lmao
also ive been tryna think what the reflection could be if anything noticable?
i swear to mother nature ive seen that blue sphere looking shape covered by a stick before
hahah yeahhhh
thats interesting
it almost looks like a tree trunk on the right too
that definitely means something
as well as the X smudges
yea
this is everything i found
(smiley face added)
and the dotted lines and question mark
ig i should clarify, there appears to be an egg shape around where the little smiley face is
could be
there are a bunch of little dots on there
there's a lot to look for in the image
i wonder if that barrel is the thing leaking that stuff
im currently researching on galileo's discovered moons and shit idk maybe could bring something up?
which barrel
since these dots look like they are stuck to the barrel rather than flying away
and clustered around that hole
the lowest one
ooh true i forgot how that kinda relates to galileo lol
Ya but idk where it leads after that
Hmm I see
What if the color splatter u noticed was like a clue
Like why would there be paint
Good luck
loded dipper
I’m not sure if you guys have seen this or spoken about it but on the ninjas arm it looks like they scribbled a bit of a logo but not all of it, maybe that might be connected to something?
opened photoshop then got distracted… on it again
hahahah same
is this the character in question?
Yeah but the white logo, a little lower
It looks like they scribbled on that logo as well
That ”stick” is the barrel of the gun
I also started to connect the dots, but didn’t see anything interesting.
However, I wouldn’t call it paint splatter, it’s feels like cement particles flying in the air after a wall got destroyed or something
This is what I rewrote, I have a feeling it’s Japanese because of the kitsune mask and ninja aesthetic,but I don’t know the language well enough to distinguish it. It’s not Korean I know that for sure LMAO.
probs kanji
ahhh gotcha, did anyone talk about about the scribbles and lines on the ninja's hand?
yeah a lot of talks on it earlier
but no outcome yet
i saw it as this
idek what it means i only know mandarin ;-;
the character on her arm i think
the bottom part is just a guess but could def be that
but this is most likely wrong
cuz japanese kanji is diff
About the Eggy bean picture:
Why does Egg have a Halo?
OG confirmed
Stealthy Taste
Halo, as in the games
Stealth, which units can cloak themselves?
We need to think bigger, throw out your wildest guesses and go with it
😇
Gloria, in some languages
is it me or on the belt it says 10 or 101
Smooooooth
the more i stare at this image the more random crap i see
i swear one day ima open this image and randomly see "release date is october 22nd 2022" and be like wtf
OG could mean original grower if we're looking at things from an farming perspective
I've gone back to looking through Devon. I feel like we never solved the first clue properly, so have kinda gone back to the start.
thats nice
i went semi-back into galileo and right now going through all the info about the 4 jupiter moons if theres something related
especially io and calisto or whatever its called
Ok, but does the stealth part help us with the concept art? 🤔
OG is also a strain of cannabis, cannabis is known for being discreetly packaged in creative containers, stealthy could possibly mean what's in it isn't what's on the label. You know what else gets high? Angels, what do angels wear? Halos, what's associated with angels? death. OG beans is a revive tool for your teammates or self. (Completely thinking out my behind at this point)
I also got the same idea, minus the cannabis
Cannabeans
Me you gas station
What are we getting for dinner? sushi of course!

Oh no, there's a lot of fish around us
you know what that means? fish Georgy
a person of culture i see
🙂
What about the guy in the concept art stashing the glasses in he’s elbow pad, maybe it means something.
with this drink and now OG Beans, im seeing a trend of possible power ups/perks in the form of sponsored items.
i google image searched ospuze and it took me @pure loom twitter where this picture is, and then i searched for a clearer picture of the can where i found on r/ospuze
眩
this is as close as i came ;-;
also whyre the lamps turned on at broad daylight >:(*
no daylight savings
hes about to shoot one down lmfao
first thing im doing
probs killing all eggwards
this one isn't lit up
indoors need to be dim/outdoors need more light
we'll be the egg hunters
B)
regular hunters: hunting for easter eggs
SwaFly
as a follower of eggward i will defend my liege
the fight is on
I wouldn’t look at the screenshot images, they have never been “announced”
They exist for the Steam page, to have some images of how the game looks
true but again im just lurking around every picture that is officially released by them
OG
Stealthy
any idea if this could be something
i thought its just 'THEFINALS' glitched out because I see a "NAL" (maybe) but then before that i couldnt make out the 'FI"
Game bugged. Unplayable.
Yeah where's my refund
It’s been spent on all these quality Easter eggs.
I think I’m just gonna focus on Devoncrossing until it’s solved now.
I choose the geography category as my specialty.
That's a good idea
I've been wondering if we are actually dealing with multiple easter eggs and mixing clues from each which is causing confusion
😫
WTF - this is inside Exeter Cathedral! A moon floating above the floor! 👀
Exeter 💀
It also has an astronomical clock
The clock is geocentric (earth at the centre of the solar system)
Pre-Galileo
Curious
From the previos easter egg with the eggs concept art 49 53 / 54 52 / 48 50 / 49 53
50.48 -3.594
Takes you to Devon, UK
too bad there's no sails on this windmill
The URL combos for it don’t work either. I could smell victory.
oh look
a red cross
Is that Exeter Cathedral as well?
That’s madness that they gave us Galileo’s birthday and a place in Devon! It’s like it was planned or something…
Yeah
Took the virtual tour on their site
I feel like we’re getting close with the Devon one
Yeah I've caught up, and I definitely feel this is one of the right path to follow, and the most significant one we have so far
I shared a link yesterday about Devon Crossing, linking to Exeter as well
Everything I did shared was revolving around 1608 as well, including the invention of telescope, and shortly after the discovery of Jupiter first 3 moons by Galileo
Maybe speeding a bit more time in the virtual tour can provide valuable information? https://www.peterstephens.co.uk/content/virtual-tours/exeter-cathedral/virtualtour.html
For example: if you go to the North Transept, you can see a very interesting clock, with very well might be a representation of Jupiter moons on the face
(too bad I cannot post any pic haha)
Whats the link to this cathedral? Its in Devon, had an art exhibit that had a moon and Galileo discovered that the moon had craters and pits?
https://www.devonperspectives.co.uk/williamcrossing.html The name “crossing” in Devon is interesting
The life and writings of William Crossing, the leading chronicler of Dartmoor
Yeah, still trying to piece it together
Wait do we have a date for the Moon exhibit in the cathedral?
The word Crossing definitely leads to many things haha
Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art, and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes contain a notebook and a rub...
Read this. This is becoming like Easter Egg inception - Devon’s William Crossing was involved in Easter egg-like puzzles with letterboxes in Devon.
I was reading something like this in your previous link haha!
Exactly 300 yards S. by W. of Batworthy Corner is a group of stones forming the remains of three concentric circles, and if the visitor first makes his way to this he will be better able to follow the brief description of the monuments here given [... ...] Standing in the triple circle and looking northwards the visitor will have before him two double stone rows, one running almost due N., and extending for about 140 yards, and the other running N. by W. for about the same distance.
Reading the Find Counts section on the wikipage, this would prolly leads to a code. This is a great find @pure loom
I feel like we’re now vultures that can smell the food, but not see it lol
I gotta catch some sleep, but we should explore this path more and try some URLs. I tried the grid references mentioned in the letterboxing locations but didn’t have any luck. This William Crossing thing seems like an interesting path.
👍 Absolutely. Speak to you later! Hopefully we'll make some progress 🙂
Some serious leads I'd say yes 🙂 Start from there to catch up: #easter-eggs message
https://www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/venue-hire/crossing/
There is also a crossing INSIDE of the Exeter Cathedral
And needless to say that the Cathedral is also describing a cross with its shape 😏
I can see that the hunt is going as splendid as ever! Great work Shellies! 
how did you get to this?
I'm wondering if we should treat the Galileo and DevonCrossing clue as a whole (+ the potential OG Beans that we still haven't found yet ?) in order to solve the bigger mystery.
I'm gonna focus on that 🙂
ohh, alright, thanks
Yeah it may or may not be linked despite finding a lot of connections between them. They could also be connected but that's the risky part lol
news?
a lot of leads, but no real results
they've overdone it D:
There are 3 promising leads: 1. William Crossing of Devon and his hidden letterboxes (an EE hider!). 2. Exeter Cathedral with its astronomical clock and giant hanging Moon. 3. The location calculated in Devon from the numbers that gave us Galileo’s birthday. All of these are in the thread above over the last 4-5 hours or so.
that was a quick sleep
in chinese is bandit
you were feeling the easter egg dayum
were u passing devon :0
u were reading it in the train
did u pass any crossings 
dammit imagine someone here was living in Devon
i wonder if that helped
So Exeter cathedral is interesting again? I posted a link to it way back but it wasn’t looking that relevant then
It is one of the most interesting leads we have so far yeah!
I'm really digging the William Crossing one, but there is no link to Galileo with this one
I don't think OG Bean per say is a clue because it doesn't give us anything URL wise. That thing still has mysteries we don't know yet haha
True 🙂
OG Beans is an anagram for Moon, ever thunk abt dat?
Orbiting Galileo
Not an anagram, did you mean something else?
It was a real bad joke, sorry 😅
Cocaine? 🕵️
There’s probably a few times this has happened where someone found a lead but we didn’t explore it properly at the time.
OG Beans is anagram for Galileo, if you add a few letters and remove a few aswell.
I miss when it took literal centuries to complete buildings. The Exeter Cathedral foundation wa laid down in 1133 but wasn't completed until the early 1400s
Yeah, no doubt. Either way, that cathedral is awesome. Just looking at it is enough to want to visit it
wait what
Like a rebus:
OG Beans
-b -n -s
+l +i +l
= Ogealil
= Galileo
Yeah I was just joking lol
If you remove all of the letters that don't spell Galileo from OG Beans and then add in those that do it's a anagram.
why don't you just remove all letters and add 'Galileo'
Too easy
So wait why is Exeter church of significance?
The only thing I can see is that a 1800s author claimed that a missal from the 1200s claimed that in the 1100s King Athelstan brought over dozens of religious artifacts and had them stored at the Cathedral.
And uh, Agnes Preston was burned at the stake near the church? In 1557.
https://www.peterstephens.co.uk/content/gigapixel/exetercathedral/nave/exetercathedralnavegigapixel.html
360photo of the inside of the Exeter Church, if you look up and zoom on the center stone right above, there might be something interesting here
Can't post screens yet, but this is looking like Tristan fighting the dragon (as in Tristan & Iseul-t)
On the left, we can see the astronomical clock, with a little stand describing how it works (in front of the covered piano)
And one more thing I've noticed: on the groundnear the arches we can spot a golden plate with the date 1610 on it (this is the same year that Galileo discovered Jupiter's Moons)
these 360 images are amazingly high quality
On the golden plate is written the name Lethbridge, so I went and found the corresponding Wiki page, just in case (haven't gone through it yet) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lethbridge_(d.1670)
This is a weak clue, but that's where I'm at right now 😅
This is a list of persons considered by John Prince (1643–1723) sufficiently notable to warrant the inclusion of their biography in his work The Worthies of Devon.
Wait
Francis Drake crossed the world, and he was born in Devon?
Wow, didn't know that at all!
@Devs if you haven't intended Exeter Cathedral to be a clue, or part of solving the puzzle. You are really missing out, this place is packed with cool stuff
Yeah, Francis Drake was born in Tacistock, Devon.
I like how every single small town in England has a massive church.
There were money in religion... Well there still is, but they were also actively ruling and oppressing the peasants back then.
My small town, which has double the population of Tacistock, has 6 churches downtown.

Oh that's what Nova Albion meant in that one song-
❌ 🚫 🚫
this means there's something hidden in the art still?
First Trans-Pacitic Flight
The first trans-pacific flight was in 1928, from Oakland to Brisbane.
hmm i think X = Devon is good not william
but who knows
The post had 3 ”clues” and we got a Right, Wrong, Wrong
Red cross is right?
I think just kinda right
A book by William Crossing
https://www.pbfa.org/books/old-stone-crosses-of-the-dartmoor-borders
Well...here goes the Exeter Cathedral 😛
Red Cross is right, it refers to the cross that is popping up when we entered keywords on the website 🙂
❌ cant be anything but right. It just doesn’t make any sense
William crossing huh
What was the exact search to get William Crossing
Using a red X instead of a check mark has me thinking that X marks the spot still has something to do with this
the Two Bridges bridge
Maybe a dumb question (popping in and out), but has anyone looked a the "View Source" or "Dev Console" for that page with the X? If X marks the spot, maybe we need to dig underneath the surface?
yeah I've been there
even went as far as removing the bit of html that loads the X image, just in case they hid something underneath it lol
that would be the most satisfying solution to this puzzle imo
If you want to make the 5km hike be my guest haha
So William Crossing loved Dartmoor, and lived in Devon and Exeter comes up quite a lot.... So it still is plausible that this is connected to The Hound of Baskerville / Sherlock Holmes: #easter-eggs message
Considering Dusty called us "Shell-lock Holmes" as well 🤔
Here's the book by Arthur Conan Doyle: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2852/2852-h/2852-h.htm

right now im shell shocked
My brain is scrambled.
Good work on finding this!

I reckon we should run with William Crossing ideas for the time being after Dusty’s clue.
Bringing Sherlock Holmes into it would open up too many paths.
I understand what you mean 🤔 But I'm gonna go down the Baskervilles route, just to see what it might bring. There's obviously some connection there and I haven't read up on William at all, so feel like that can be left to you people who've looked into it! 😄
I agree with this.
If you want to explore the book

Could someone point me to how William Crossing came up? Was it just a search on the google and posted here incase it’s part of something?
#easter-eggs message first mention of it in the channel
Crossing as a name had been mentioned previously (not William though). But literally I spent like 3 hours searching on Google Earth for interesting places in Devon, got frustrated with that and just Googled “Devon Crossing” again and stumbled on the article about William Crossing and the letterboxes - which sound like Easter Egg hunts. That’s when my interest switched.
That is the Hound of Baskervilles
Interesting that one of the lines on this map looks like a giant /
I'm beginning to wonder if Embark is sponsored by Devon county to increase tourism 🤔💅
Does the location between Postbridge and Princetown say “Hairy Hands Bridge”? 
looks a bit like my late dog
Yes, it's the last entry on the page, at the far bottom
Hairy Hands Bridge
Grid Ref: SX 6348 7706
The bridge on the B3212 between Postbridge and Two Bridges is the location for some malevolent hauntings.
The legend is that a pair of hairy hands appear on your steering wheel/handlebars and try to force you off the road.
There have been many incidents on this stretch of road which is notorious for fatal accidents, including in 1921 when a medical officer from Dartmoor Prison died after his motorbike went out of control. This area was avoided long before motor vehicles were common on the road.
The X in PFX count represents the number of exchanges the letterboxer has, I wonder if that's relevant. According to Wikipedia "The 'PFX count' is not a term associated with Dartmoor Letterboxing."... so idk 😂
I wish I had the time to spend in this easter egg hunt, it seems really fun 😂
Some times, but the last few days with 0 good leads was rough 😅 Staring yourself blind trying to find something in a picture for the 10 hour... was tolling... 😄
I cannot be bothered so I just look in and do some moderate research then disappear until anything happens
I searched for like 6 hours for those little boxes in BF 2042 and only found one new one lol
I backed up from this because I spended too much time on it.
and found nothing
Good luck guys! I'm sure you'll find all the clues eventually! I'll have to watch Rockhound's video for the short version, sadly I'll miss the fun 😅
but yea, it's fun, so I just watch others make the progress
Which one did you find?
I think I was one of the first ones to find a little box on the roof of one of skyscrapers on the RU spawn on Hourglass.
Cool! Shame we didn’t get clean screenshots on hourglass
The first Letterbox was sited at Cranmere Pool in the middle of the North Moor by a Dartmoor Guide named James Perrott back in 1854. It took 40 years for the second box to be sited at Belstone Tor, but now there are hundreds of Letterboxes sited all over the moor.
i like how we're hunting for an easter egg about a hunt about 'easter eggs'
Hopefully it doesn’t take us 40 years to get the X for the beans (assuming there is one).
thats the same site i just found at the same time 😂
come here often?
it's a bit of a safe haven for me
yeah seems quiet
May I buy the catalogue of clues for this?? 
the embark devs are the WOM clues
And they appear to all be introverts 
which is why they made htis probably 
a virtual letterboxing
uhhhh
Lol
Box children responsibly
so the forums say newly found clues have a postcard to it which u gotta stamp and send it back to the owner
i wonder if a similar trick is used for these sites.. like theres something within the sites we found /devoncrossing /galileo | /ospuze /iseul-t
ooh yes maybe
then we'll be part of the 3club
Back to those f’ing beans…
letterboxing users who found more than 100 boxes can join the '100 club' loll
hopefully we dont need to find 100 x's...
welp, i guess it has always BEAN like this...
yum
Levelling up in this game is bigger than we thought.
wait how did u get geocache
Wow
nicee
GRATZ..!!!
letterboxing is the original form of geocaching
Letterboxing is just like it
ohhhh
Well done @tulip matrix
Well done.!
congrats
@pure loom remember I mentioned geocaching too you like a week ago?
it was staring us in the face the whole time
wow... level 1 complete
Yeah, my god. I’ve been thinking about that all along and never thought to put the word in.
what the barrels has to do with this??
still seems like some of the things dont make sense between galileo and this
lol
maybe the barrels is level 2?
:0
Congrats on completing level 1, ya'll! 🥳
Galileo is a GPS system. You can use that for geocaching
lets gooooo! Well done Lad! @tulip matrix
level one????
hahaha
Ohhh ok nvm that makes sense
im gonna cry
But the beans??
but even after galileo, like the barrels, moneyrain, the 1400x787, beans, all that stuff
idk if everything had something
but yeah
myabe lvl 2
rob
bob
rob
hehe
🍾
THE BEANS.?!
Here is was, making a meme and you somehow solve it?
took ~10 days to solve easter egg
That’s roughly 3 years to level 100
wait there's a level two now??
Pack well my friends. We may be gone for some time…!
just like William Crossing
pack well for the flight tomorrow to Devon at 14:00
