Could also be the same one
I see an X on the back of his head
probs means nothing but just wanted to point out
thats just some random brush strokes
yeahh
5 Tattoos on BTS guy named J-Hope (Nickname: Hobi) {Pronounciation: 'Je-ee-Hob}: (updated)
Luctor et Emergo - I struggle but I'll survive
Fiat Lux - Let there be light
Oriri ex cinere - From Ashes
HOPE
Plaudite - Expression of applause; praise bestowed
Rob coming back in here seeing the BTS army taking over the ee channel
fuck yeah
oh also j-hope once received the only CD to every exist of... JIMIN - Promise
too much confirmation bias
Not sure if this has been found already
but the metadata from "NamaTama_TFEE_Mascot" from the presskit says:
"Dear EE hunters.! This is your own TFEE-mascot... THX for all support.!" ๐
just realized TF is The Finals, but wtf is the EE?
Easter Egg I am guessing?
truuue
also on a side note, this logo from the trailer looks super similar to Jack Frags logo
oh damn
haha yeah, rock hound and some others also noticed it
i wonder if it means something
im guessing they contributed to the development in some way. either helping pay for some of it, helping development, etc.
nice find!
those wont help checking but its still fun when they write somehting there
oh btw, i think a building in the trailer is inspired from the pisa cathedral, aka the one that has the pisa griffin on the roof
He made a video about The Finals that came out on the same day as the pre-alpha trailer and I believe be said he was invited to a capture event or something like that so Embark could be working with him in some capacity
isnt that from the real life old Monaco
in Monte Carlo
ah shit rip
ya lol almost thought the thumbnail was a screenshot
alright im gonna cry how similar this is in game ;-;
alright the game is super accurate
ive seen many floating things in playtest
Slightly more info from the two firey dude images the griffin came from in the metadata. One (THE_FINALS_Concept_Fire_1920x1080) has "Why.??" embeded, and the other (THE_FINALS_Concept_Firee_1920x1080.png) has "Why.?". I'm guessing this may just be the creator of the images being cheeky but not sure.
We won't be finding anything digging in the metadata/datamining/scouring the website's internal code to find other URL's
they dont want us to either:)
But for the metadata of the image after we found the first clue, they stopped giving us clues haha, giving only "There are no clues here" in the metadata
ahhhh good to know lol
google never lies

Namatama is a given name of the Lozi tribe, meaning: born with big cheeks.
We got Pisa griffin by difference. Maybe it's about the difference between griffin and phoenix?
shits hard
Embark seems to only have sponsored BF youtubers. They know their audience 
Nice find
So wait.. if I read correctly.. youโre sayingโฆ that This is secretly a K-pop discord? ๐ฎ
yes.
are you not a kpop fan
im a j-hope fan
Haha Iโm a k-pop tolerant person
I have no clue what all of this means Swa haha
So Duh found that one of the guys from BTS 'J-Hope' has a tattoo with words: oriri ex cinere'
So I did some smol research on him and well, found nothing
Haha, I wouldโve accepted you as a k-pop fan tbh
But okay
Did yall try j-hope or any bts song that might be relevant
On second thought I don't quite think so. Or they could just give us any griffin picture. So it might still be about this bronze Pisa griffin.
The tattoo is Oriri ex dolore
From sorrow, we rise
i have a few korean pop songs (not kpop) that i love tho
i actually dont know if theres a difference but some korean pops songs hit hard
i he eating his arm
wait
thats oriri ex dalore
that means something else
\
from sorrow, we rise
do you know Latin
do u know any symbolic meaning to that phrase
No I just Google translate ๐
oh hahaha
I hope we get a clue tonight 
egg
only 1 thing on twitter about Oriri ex cinere is J-hope
We're so close

Morning!
Morning everyone!
I think a more accurate translation would be "from pain, we rise". I don't know Latin, but I speak one (and a half ๐ค) romance language(s)
I guess it could be either, depending on context ๐ค
This is where I found it. I don't think it's connected to the Easter egg though.
its because of photogrammetry
they use dat a lot
I hope they add more real life locations too
specially ones I've been to, so I'll be knowing the maps by heart haha
welp, I was lied to then lol
kpop fans caught slippin
my youtube recomended page about to be wild for nothing 
BRUH I SPENT ALL OF THE AFTERNOON YESTERDAY TRYING TO FIND WHERE IT WAS HASED ON IN MONACO
That's cool it looks like it's the remains of a old castle town? It's where the Prince of Monaco resides.
Embark has deprived me of a palace to blow up we should boycott /s
looking kinda familiar u know
Ive been near there for work before but didnt realise as its facing away front where i was
Hey hunters! Just to let you know that I'm in the process of searching inside the Pisa cathedral right now, in hope to find something related to the "orori ex cinere" thingy ๐
I'll let you know if I find anything worthwhile
Haha you physically went to Pisa to sniff it out?
"Sir, you cannot urinate here. This is sacred ground. SIR"
Ffs haha
It'd be great to know if the passwords are case sensitive. They probably aren't, but having someone confirm that would be reassuring
Then hopefully we didn't type the correct password with the wrong capitalisation already ๐
rob just reacted to this comment with a magnifying glass, i wonder if thats a clue? maybe theres something listed inside the cathedral
hello hunters 
There was a fire in Pisa Cathedral in 1595 where the roof had to be replaced and the artwork had to be redone
theres some stuff in it from galileo too
idk if it has been discussed already, but the Pisa Cathedral caught fire in 1595
Imagine if they actually someone hid something in the cathedral
maybe the art is linked with this
indeed
The lamp at the center of the nave is called Galileo's lamp
and there was a single door not destroyed by the fire
The San Ranieri door at the back of the cathedral facing the tower was the only door to survive the fire
@opaque zenith go look at the back door!
there were a few items to survive the fire
Oh sorry for the misunderstanding, but I'm not on location haha, just browing the internet (while working as well, so not super focused ๐ )
But we might be on something!!
Okay that's good I was worried LOL
thought he was Indiana Jones?
Found the X
Something else to survive the fire was the pulpit which depicts several new testament scenes perhaps the resurrection is on it?
Here's a picture of the San Ranieri's door (the only one that survived the fire)
So much to search for ๐
The panels depict stories from the New Testament
I'm looking at the pulpit now and while it has the crucifixion it skips the resurrection and goes straight to the last judgement.
Incriptions on every square, one of them could be the password...
Do we have a list of the items that survived the fire?
Are the inscriptions if kufic by any chance?
https://arsartisticadventureofmankind.wordpress.com/2020/01/26/nicola-pisano-the-pulpits-of-the-pisa-baptistery-and-of-the-cathedral-of-siena/ This article is a huge resource of info on a lot of the pieces either surviving or rebuilt after the fire.
no i think they are latin
Yeah zooming into the image those are latin for sure
#20 is resurrection
Inscription is Seril Crum? But that means a leg if my latin isn't totally forgotten lol
https://www.italianways.com/saint-ranieris-door-from-single-moments-to-eternity/
This website as a zoomed photo on every square for better definition
Saint Ranieriโs Door in Pisaโs Duomo is a masterpiece by sculptor Bonanno Pisano, who towards the end of the 12th century also created the portal of the Duomo in Monreale. Saint Ranieriโs Door, once at the entrance of the right-side transept of Pisaโs Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, was built when the churchโs faรงade was [โฆ]
Yeah google translate confirms the literal translation is a leg lol
i think it says sepul crum
yeah
Homie was writing inscriptions like notes on the margin of a page lol
tomb and sepulcrum do not work as passwords
damn looked like a good lead!
The door still is for sure and lots more sincriptions on it
This has images of all the panels and a description of them.
I tried the transfiguration as well since it represents Jesus's rise to glory a rebirth in some way but that didn't work either.
Really good shots of the inscriptions on that site though
NamaTama is Jesus confirmed
Our artist had one too many to drink when making this inscription, it's practically gibberish lol
My favorite latin phrase sssddssabaot
we are getting somewhere hmm. i'm making some cafecito 
I feel like we have a majority of the pieces now we're just looking from the wrong angle...
Or Rob is being a misdirecting meanie and sent that magnifying glass reaction to confuse us lol
If that's the case I'll call that cheating ๐
punishment for our cheating 
To mark the beginning of the Pisan new year a system was devised in the cathedral whereby a beam of light shines through a round window on the south side of the nave and, precisely at noon on March 25, lands on the same spot every year: on top of a shelf affixed to a pylon on the opposite side of the church. This shelf rests on a marble egg, a symbol of birth and new life.
That's interesting
Dang.
๐ฅ ๐
Egg rebirth new life relation to the sun and fire. Spring equinox I really thought we had something there.
This is too good to not be this honestly ๐
Easter eggs for birth and new life is why Iโm here
bruh how is this not it
apparently its called the Feast of the Annunciation
The Feast of the Annunciation, in greek, ฮ ฮฯ ฮฑฮณฮณฮตฮปฮนฯฮผฯฯ ฯฮทฯ ฮฮตฮฟฯฯฮบฮฟฯ , contemporarily the Solemnity of the Annunciation, and also called Lady Day, the Feast of the Incarnation (Festum Incarnationis), or Conceptio Christi (Christโs Conception), commemorates the visit of the archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, during which he informed her that sh...
Yeah and although the town has given up on that being their new year they still celebrate it both religiously and civilly
This painting "The Assumption." was one of the few things to survive the fire as well and quite literally arose from the ashes around it painted on the dome of the cathedral.
The dome has a name as well I reckon, like Duomo something
Have a nice and relaxing weekend, my friends!
YES MORE CLUESSS
You are welcome... ._.
Thanks rob ;D I love these little games you guys put out for us.
I've learned a ton in the past few days just researching the breadcrumbs you leave us
There's a creeper on that tree
let's gooooooooo. also
photoshop:LayerName="No clues here... " photoshop:LayerText="...just some text to make you happy... ._."
Hahahaha well played given the format and emote I'm guessing that's you rob
Also spears the fastest import in the west, you had that in photoshop in no time lol
hello lads
I think I need to make a case for my crew to get photoshop on our work computers... lol
a new clue i see
haha you can open it with TextEdit or Notepad to look at the metadata
but i also have my Adobe Collection opened, i'm WFH 
Omg.... are they hinting this was ai generated? /j
Am I the only one who sees a like hand? Kind of robotic?
oh yeah
its a paintover/photobash for the purpose of a concept art. so theres gonna be random brush strokes, photoshopped images and weird details as its not meant to be a high detail illustration
I saw that ๐คฃ
keep that in mind when youre searching for stuff haha
Don't worry I'm only finding secret meaning in literally everything.
Don't hate the messenger.. hate the message xD
Or I'll tell Dusty and .. she knows what that means >:c
is that a minecraft creeper
found "bias wrecker" in the back
please not another song hehee
So we back in the mines!
Minecraft collab confirmed?! /s
so we were looking at the Pisa Cathedral and now got an image of Saint Nicholas Cathedral
There is text on the deposit box shudders too one large A and then text too small to make out. In between the church and the building on the right there is a banner with a finals symbol on it but text too small for me to glean anything but it for sure does not say the finals
a1 is the password we are currently on right?
yeah
Seems like a good place to start
1a
1a really
Oh did you get it?! ๐ฎ
maybe its backwards like 0000001a
tried no luck ๐ฆ
im stumped on this clue lmao. theyre trolling us arent they
No, Embark would never trick us... they couldn't...
What commonalities do we have between this and our last clue?
The Last Clue lead us to a cathedral, when someone mentioned searching in it rob gave us a mgnifying glass, this image HEAVILY center a cathedral being destroyed
We know the Pisa cathedral very nearly burned to the ground in the 1500's
I see you typing rob ๐ ๐ ๐
can we burn down the notre dam again? ๐ฎ
I remember getting back from the first Twitchcon in Europe and it was lit!
No we will never trick you (and you are too clever to be tricked). But it shouldn't be easy to solve puzzles like this... ._.
Rob you're gonna make me blush, hehehehe
im not too clever to be tricked ngl
I feel like rob not writing his own name with a capital R makes me think thats a clue too
Omg we have to search his profile picture. Someone get his profile picture into photoshop STAT
now u mention that, that is off putting

Yeah, he's robbing us of our free time 
"hunter Povich just cracked all the Easter Eggs ever always forever"
It was rob all along
rob the robber
tumtum taaaaaaaaaa
apparently "bias wrecker"(found in the image) has something to do with k-pop
why is this going back to k-pop
Bias wrecker we know is one of our sponsors in game as well it's in other promotional materials we've seen
ah ok
yes, it's from Isuel-t
that promo image is part of the skybox
Rock and I have discussed this bias wrecker kpop business far too much. He is an expert
for others that haven't seen it
https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t
Title of this particular artwork btw is TakeCover
makes sense
specifically THE_FINALS_Concept_TakeCover_1920x1080
did someone in history tried to take over monaco?
or the cathedral as least
ohh
take cover
not take over ffs
im useless
meteor / meteorshower is not the pass
I kind of feel like they're letting us know that the cathedral fire is the correct path since this depicts a cathedral being destroyed (by fire in a way)
yeah i was thinking that too
maybe "takecover" and the roof being blown up refers to something surviving the pisa cathedrals fire again
couldn't help but notice that this tree is partially transparent
with a little bit of text sticking out next to the finals logo
Alright let's recap again:
Our first image shared from Dusty came with the latin text "Oriri Ex Cinere" which translates to "Arise from the ashes." A phrase commonly associated with the myth of the Phoenix.
Overlaying the two images shared by dusty got us an image of the Pisa Griffin. Another Mythological Bird.
This in turn brought us to the Pisa Cathedral, which had a major event in the 1500's of very nearly burning to the ground but having some specific artifacts and pieces that survived this fire (some quite literally rising from the ashes). Namely the Gate of Saint Rainier, the Dias, and the Dome Paintings.
Our most recent shared image Take Cover also prominently displays a cathedral in the midst of destruction from flaming meteors.
Saint Nicholas Cathedral/Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate is the cathedral in the image in game, scattered in the street in front of the cathedral is the text "ai/a1" and a handful of zeroes which is reminiscent of a past easter egg hunt that had clues in binary.
I think this is a majority of the pertinent info.
where did you get the "some quite literally rising from the ashes" part from?
The dome paintings and the dias literally would stand above where the ashes lie on the floor. The Dias standing roughly 8 feet tall I think it was and the domes being untouched by the flames on the ceiling
The gate is also tall enough to most likely be prominently displayed above the ashes if you were to look at it after the fire.
Aphrodite of Knidos seems to be missing the bath towel in the image. I still can't post images, but the one from the trailer had it
Here โ๐ป
Ahem, which one of us knew who BTS was, kind sir? 
Interesting, the one in this image also has a latin inscription on the base
In the image we were just given I mean

At least it looks like it hard to discern with how fuzzy the image is.
โThe Aphrodite of Knidos established a canon for the proportions of the female nude,[2][better source needed] and inspired many copies, the best of which is considered to be the Colonna Knidia in the Vatican's Pio-Clementine Museum. A Roman copy, it is not thought to match the polished beauty of the original, which was destroyed in a disastrous fire at Constantinople in CE 475. According to an account by Pliny the Elder, Praxiteles sculpted both a nude and a draped statue of Aphrodite.โ
Pliny the Elder was mentioned in the Pisa Griffin notes somewhere, I think.
Plus fire!
Pliny the Elder is my Pepe Silvia, he keeps coming up all over the place the Phoenixes, the Griffin, here.
The aphrodite in the trailer does indeed have her towel! and going frame by frame in the segment with the light body smging the heavy it does NOT have the inscription above the rope like this one does.
But I'm willing to put that in a box of this is concept art and not only that is a composition piece so it is probably just stylistic choices but something to note for sure.
The one in the concept art does have the cloth
Top half has been painted over, bottom half is hard to see
You are very correct.
Yeah, but was that on purpose or human error? ๐ค
Book VII, chapter 2 of Pliny the Elder's Natural History:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0137%3Abook%3D7%3Achapter%3D2
(He talks about Griffins)
oooooh ๐
I'm more interested in this spleen curing toe in the second section.
There's a new image?
just realized the image isn't pinned
Woah
Our common thread seems to be the destruction of a cathedral. We have a recap of what seems to be the most pertinent info pinned
Although I must admit for now. I am kind of stumped.
Morning

gooooooooooooooooooooood morningggggg ๐ฅณ โค๏ธ
Is that... 17 o's...??
Good morning dash!!
No in his good morning haha
Wait
I misread
maybe it has something to do with steak sauce...
thats 22
i painfully counted them myself
u are talking about my message right?
NICEEEE
Yeah loll
I'm glad it's not 17
Whaaa
i should have done 17 lol
awwww rob believes in us guys
anything new?
Ohhhh
did we get the pw?
Duck and cover lmao
Lmao NOOOOO.

did we get the pw?
Nope we know the path we think. we have a common thread of a cathedral being destroyed and something rising from the ashes. But from there we've been just trawling for clues.
isnt the griffen in the cathedral?
there's a pinned recap just in case
No Griffin is in a different museum
Yes and when @opaque zenith said he was searching inside of it rob gave us a magnifying glass reaction
Ahhhhh
The recap has several of the artifacts or pieces of the cathedral that survived the fire, what might be seen as "rising from the ashes." of it
Rob has mag glass
NamaTama has mag glasa
Rob = NamaTama
:0
When NamaTama finally hatches it will be Embark | rob who crawls from the shell.
have yous done the binary?
Hahahah
yeah the burn part was just the search result haha
I have not it is 00 and 0000
well the griffin sat on top of the cathedral until the 19th century until it was moved to the musem, now a replica of it sits on top of the cathedral
Thank you ;) I have finished my mission I'm off to the forever sleep
Ohhhh I didn't catch that connection thanks!
Competition?
But can you sleep in any situation??
Damn he's too good
i see that if you're not up by 8:39 alarm, u just give up lmaoo
After that it's god's wish for me to sleep 3hrs more
4 hours more*
not pointing out any mistakes or anything tho
I'm gonna be stuck in a meeting for the next hour but is there any record of Saint Nicholas Cathedral being in a fire or other disaster?
are we done with todays clue?
I have unfortunately been stuck actually doing my job pretty much since we got it, I'm for sure not done with it and there is more there to be found I'm certain.
The church is in Ukraine right?
Pisa is Italy Saint Nicholas is Monaco
Ah I was looking up the wrong place ๐ฉ
There is probably a lot of Saint Nicholas Churches out there if we're being honest lol but the one in the image is in Monaco
It's also know as Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate
In fact that is it's much more common name apparently.
"The present day Cathedral of Monaco symbolizes the rebirth of this small principality in the late 19th century, when Monaco turned into independent and very rich country. The old, medieval church was torn down and in its place was built new, magnificent cathedral." - Last interesting tidbit I could stumble on gonna be out of chat for a bit now
Rebirth hmmm
Prince Rainier is buried at Cathedral of Monaco Gate of Saint Rainier is one of the standing structures from the fire at Pisa Catherdral ๐ alright for real in my meeting now lol
The wiki for the 'Pisa Griffin' makes a reference to Konrul - Turkic mythological creature similar to a phoenix in the 'See also' section. Also related to rebirth
I'm wondering if the answer is a continuation of "differences" as was used to find the original clue?
Like we have two similar cathedrals (the one in Monaco and the Pisa Cathedral) both with griffins on the exterior
I feel this image in my soul
Honestly? I would probably roll over and just try to ignore it

its all fun and games until you wake up thinking you woke up early cuz ofc ur 100 alarms didnt go off
just to realise that u skipped all 100 alarms and now its 2h past and you're sweating and fuckkkkkkkk
#anxiety
I woke up to my 630 alarm this morning and then fell back asleep and had a dream that I woke up again at 830pm

๐
๐ญ
damn i really gotta check this imge
Wooper needs to pin some more images haha
i just scrolled up to find takecover and then accidentally went down again
yeah but
creeper?
MANNNN-
jk
nothing to see
i thought the sticky note on it had something
but nvm
this stands out to me as well
CP looking thing
yeah 
this image is harder i wonder what can be in here
yeah
your spot for a1
maybe it means the pw is in this img?
idk
also an A here
hot
this wall is filled with manual scribble too ๐ฎ
wait i swear i see a figure there
not t he statue
behind the statue
RIGHT
this right
lmao
i wonder if thats another bug
like the banner on the first easter egg hunt
actually that might be part of the image itself cuz remember in game there were posters with that key art character
what u thinking 
Could always be an Egg 
dammit i thought i had smth
im useless lmfao
one day ill find a clue that'll reveal the secrets of life ๐ y'all better wait for that one..!
Don't worry... you're already the secret to life <3
LMAOOOO
im just kidding ofc
nothing like being sus with the boys
heheheehe
We got more images?
my heart melted
๐
what does 0325 / 2503 mean
Telling us to relax, and at the same time you make our brains work in overdrive ๐ต
someone guessed 0325 / 2503 for the password
march 25?
oh
idk what this is but weird 6 squares
6 squares? ๐ค
this picture has a LOT of manual digital painting so theres so many things i think are clues but then are probs just random stuff
That is just a lamp, ran past it multiple times in the alpha
yeah but this seems to be behind the lamp, way far
ooh, ah isee that yes ๐ค
Anyone know what that symbol on the right is?
Aphrodite of Knidos again, but this time her towel is gone
That is the mastarati symbol
maserati*
trident?
its always 3 boxes
first box: straight up, duck and cover, etc...
second box: weather/day/night
third box: this
cuz if u think about it, on the mirror of it
1st box = 3rd box
wait whyd u delete that ;-;
Because it was just about the maserati trident, not giving any good info
basically: the trident represent Neptune or Poseidon
Also, loving the flavor text from the newest image
Text Layer Name No clues here...
Text Layer Text ...just some text to make you happy... ._.
Oozing rob frm it .... ._.
they arent wrong
it makes us happy 
that emoji is the best ever, need to find it and add to my work slack 
haha
trash dance
i think the trident is an important piece in the pic cuz remember, all these pics always tell us smth new about the game
maybe this'll tell us what the 3rd box is about in game
Because Maserati pollute so much the sea levels are rising? ๐ฎ

flooding in game?
Haha

trash can lid = 10% extra projectile protection

lmfaoooo
Noooo
i swear ive seen that trident symbol somewhere else.. while trying to do stuff for level 2
roll
u guys and your fancy emotes ๐ฅน
No nitro

Only had 1 month ever, when i got it for free ๐คท



@zenith crown time to join 100 servers just for emote
Say no to nitro! ๐

these guys had this interview process to enter their 10 user server and the question was like "why do you want to join this server" and im like "bro honestly i wont break any rules im just here for the emotes.. can u blame me?" and then they were like "aight u in"
ez

was this? does it say a i?
Yeah we think it's supposed to be 1a
yeah, i was thinking that as well, it would make sense for them to code the images with what password we should find
There's also I think 5 zero's hidden in the shadows of the picture
Isn't it weird though? On the picture there's an ongoing Meteor Shower right? But during the meteor showers all the panels turned into black with red text saing "Meteor Shower"
Composite concept art so it's hard to say but you are right
looks like Os
are we talking about these?
That's a good point although I'm not sure what I can glean from five O's aside from ghosts haunting the map lol
Here's the mask/figure Swa saw earlier
Don't recognize seeing it on any billboard previously, but I might just not be remembering
Innnnnterestingggg...
looks like a clown face
lmaoo
Dusty told us to have a great weekend when she posted this new image so I'm thinking this is our last one for the weekend. I bet we have the tools necessary to figure it out from all the pieces we have at the moment
i would say so too
The griffin and this image should be more than enough to solve at least something, probably a password
FFRRRR
Alright I gotta hit my commute I'll check back in later gang.
cyaa
In fact, even today the symbol for the planet Neptune in both astronomy and astrology is the lower-case Greek letter psi, commonly referred to as the โtrident symbolโ โ โ
oh we do??
New image from dusty today
ooooooh can I see?
damn that looks super cool
can't say much to how accurate it is to in-game meteor showers
I said this earlier
Isn't it weird though? In the picture there's an ongoing Meteor Shower... But during the meteor showers in game, all the panels turned into black with red text saing "Meteor Shower"
And we have a mysterious Trident symbol up to the right, which wasn't seen in the alpha either
Also yknow smoke effects and debris are a bit cooler-looking here
ohh
panel 3
always wondered why it was locked
have we found the source of the symbol?
It's the greek letter psi, probably representing Poseidons (or Neptunes) trident.
which one?
It appears on barbados flag, for what it's worth
On the red ring in the sky, up to the right of the cathedral, there is a trident on the third panel.
ah yes, i see
i believe this is the key art glitched on the screen
yeah i saw that when we first got the image, just thought it was an A ngl๐ฅน
But the pose doesn't look right to me, but it also makes the most sense
Yepp lol
i don't see much relevance there tbh
what about the fire image?
So "Griffin" in Greek is "ฮณฯฯฯ"
The last letter of that is Psi
There are also numerical values associated with greek Letters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopsephy
yall still stuck on griffin stuff
Oog
so we had a mythical creature theme and now a cathedral theme
The griffins and the cathedrals are connected
It's not jumping from one topic to another
Maserati 3500 GT Spyder
look familiar?
Found one parked in Boston on google maps
omg yesss
i noticed it too but i didnt think anything of it
thats perfect
Is Melee finally viable with the Sword oneshotting that dude in the Trailer? ๐
Wanna try that on my Heavy Dude Smacking some people across the map ...
oh Boston
Only reason I was even looking there is because Beacon Hill in Boston has very similar brick sidewalks to this scene in the teaser
gas lamps as well
wait i thought that map was Monaco.. its not?
Why dont we ask that Geoguesser Dude from Youtube who just KNOWS all the places for some reason? xD
The first few shots certainly are
I donโt want to ruin it but Iโm pretty sure its a corvette in the teaser
I think it is Monaco, or the wall is similar to a pickup location from the playyest
yes that looks more like it
Rainbolt?
I donโt know much about easter eggs but I do know my cars haha
Idk how you were able to find it but my god
That's crazy haha
I've been trying to figure out if the building and fountain(?) in the background of this scene are important
I swear I saw a better angle for that fountain somewhere
Also do we know the exact model of that car
im pretty sure that is the building in the new image we got
Maybe it means that bananas aren't the best tool to scale things
Pre alpha teaser
But we cannot be sure of it rn
That could be the Pulitzer Fountain in Manhattan
Just like the trailer showed bags hanging above the ground rather than boxes.. things chance.. maybe temporarily or maybe permanently
Who knows D:
It was there xD
Ffs why is nobody paying attention REEEE
Weโll see.. mkay?
Weird how we go from Phoenix and griffins to fountains
yeah you're right
the only reason I was leaning in towards that is because we got a teaser with cars, but then no cars were mentioned in the trailer or gameplay information or playtest so I thought "Maybe they just switched design directions and didn't add them/was just experimental" and now that I see it mentioned in a new and recent easter egg, it makes me think that maybe they still exist in some other gamemode or something...
though I'm not fully concerned with that information anyways but could be cool if it's a hint towards it
As long as it just doesnt cut through Buiildings like theyre butter ...
Looks greek/Roman to me
I think there should be a car that can do that, it would be hilarious
like a bulldozer? if its really slow and makes you an easy target for a c4 throw ... sure
Its very possible they deactivated the cars for the playtest, who knows
obviously we just got a glimpse of the full chaos
I hope parked cars fly into pieces too >: )
you could even see "locked" events every time a round started (3 things on the map event start screen ... weather; time; "locked")
exactly that
i mean ... EVERYTHING needs to be destructible xD
"In the Finals ... if you can see it, our Contestants can probably destroy it!"
"the viewer's are getting their money's worth!-"
2 players disconnect
"nevermind"
HERE ... WE ..G... OH ... WELL time for a RESTAAAAART!
RESTART with 17 A's
oh boy
(hoping they add reconnects so people who disconnect bcs of technical issues can relog AND noone just quits bcs he wants to start a new one with no punishment ...)
COMMIT TO THE CHAOS
yeah i hope so too haha
In Tarkov if you disconnect the game prevents you from playing the game until you reconnect or the session ends lol
exactly ... but staying out the game and waiting for the session end should still apply some sort of penalty
bcs youre still ruining 2 other peoples experience ...
(even the whole lobbyยดs to an extent) so yeah
lifetime ban
actually no cuz id be banned instnatly
lmaooo
ight im turning in for the day, see u guys tomorrow, goodnight!
see you dash!
Gn! Have a good sleep!
u guys are awesome
have a great weekend hunters, see you later! 
bye bye
cya Spear! 
Cya! you too!
Iโve been offline for a bit. Any breakthroughs?
In the new TakeCover.png image, someone mentioned a Trident symbol which would end up being the 3rd configurations in the map (if you look at it from the reverse backboard POV) and so we were wondering what it was
Someone also pointed out that it was also the Maserati logo and so Duh found the car and exact model and how you can also see it in one of the earliest teaser (where you can see a 2 wheeler and 4 wheeler with the 007 on the 2 wheeler)
That's pretty much where we stopped because we didn't know how it all connected together.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trident_of_Poseidon another option
@unkempt crypt pointed out that the car is actually a Corvette
Ooh my bad. I forget who did what with my pea sized brain
Oh right someone also pointed this one about Poseidon
This is good
Who again we failed to notice any connections (so far)
Yeah, I noted that in the teaser breakdown
Do you think it's a good idea to pursue the trident logo?
We still have the Oriri ex cinere, phoenix and Pisa Griffin with no connections other than it all linking to the cathedral
I never saw this one until today lol
Has anyone tried trident as a password?
Also forgot to mention that Darnoux found this little 'a1' on the ground
Best efforts are needed soon 
Is A1 the level reference?
I donโt have the password page in front on me as Iโm on my phone
I'm with both of them haha
Ok.
I think if it's 'a1' then flipping it vertically would make it '1a' hinting us that the password is found by flipping the image around?
That trident ๐ฑ is definitely a clue I reckon. Stuff like that doesnโt happen by chance.
I've been trying to figure out if the fountain and building in the background is an important place
everyone keeps saying it's the cathedral from the monaco map but it looks different to me
It might have been removed from an early version of the map
I dunno how useful older teasers are for this EE hunt... since they're like over a year old (I think)
Agreed
I'm just trying to find eggs that we've missed in the past
since we're pretty stuck on this new one
Teasers and trailers in general - I think theyโd know it would just be too big of a rabbit hole for us.
Well I think it's aight since they'll tell us if we're not supposed to go into a certain rabbit hole
Galileo's Lamp almost looks like it has an egg on it
We know level two started after the playtest, so Iโd be pretty certain we wonโt need anything new from before then. Like Devon crossing, weโve just got to find a new path to try with โfrom the ashesโ and the griffin and the cathedral clues
Yepp
A blog about the fire and the griffin
More about the fire and the Galileo Lamp
"The bronze doors were made by Florentine artists in the 17th century, after the original wooden doors were destroyed in a fire in 1595 that severely damaged the Cathedral."
"The spatial division recalls that of Islamic mosques and Byzantine churches, with the columns and the matroneo or womensโs gallery, while the golden ceiling was added during Mediciโs rule in the 16th century. The original wooden ceiling was destroyed by the fire."
"Thereโre 68 monolithic columns brought here from Sardinia, that was under Pisaโs rule. The number represented how many churches were in Pisa at the time of the Cathedralโs construction. Notice the Medieval marble floor that was saved from the fire."
Totally 21*5=105 coffers
@tulip matrix Byzantine again.
Wooden doors destroyed. Now the bronze doors.
BF1 ptsd

Whats that
Peacekeeper chateau
Took me 2 hours. Always someone comes in the server and kills me
Gotta find those 1 player servers hah
More details
This one I've been keeping to myself because it hasn't led me anywhere but since we're stuck anyway...
The image of the pug in the latest teaser is wearing a ballcap and is also shiny gold colored, which is very similar to the 59FIFTY sticker found on these kinds of hats.
I think it's strayed too far. It's about rise from the ashes but nothing to do with the promise. And first tier a b c d e f are all accessable.
This concept art is still the key I think.
It's a bark
If there's anything
Em...embark

on the concept art?
Yeah on the tree cube thing
Looks like a small face
Green skull emoji haha
Minecraft Collab?!??!
Bahahah
Minecraft creeper's are the new body type
volatile contenstants
From dying light?
from the playtest
volatile?
Awwwww mannn
I hope haha
XD
Can't see what's on that sign.
Also btw I think "the promise" means the promise to players or us. It might reveal the game release date.
Maybe..
Since it seems like it's gonna be a very long one
what time does the clues go out at?
around 2pm to 4pm sweden time (CEST)
we probs wont be getting anything for the weekends tho
@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump@prisma stump
Or official trailer like battlefield v since the finals has been revealed.
http://www.ea.com/neverbethesame
Well battlefield really is neverbethesame lol
Hey Darnoux
I never sleep

Just like how I avoid this channel like the plague because EE hunts make my brain hurt
Gmornin'
goedemorgen

is it goedemorgen or guten morgen
ahhhhh

Right :P
Don't u also just say MORGE
Can I say Goden Morgen to annoy both languages
Haha learned that from Ahrix himself on his discord
Since he's also Dutch
Man all good EDM artists are Dutch
Leave some for us
Hmmm arguable
Depends which song ;)
I love that one I remember finding that in 2014 through asphalt 8
You havent missed much in the hunt
Still at the same block ;-;
Again hahaha
Yep haha
It's fall soon so ๐
DOWNN
swa my tree brother

The bollards donโt have chains on them in the real one - is the chain between the bollards in the concept art a series of zeros?
ez
why'd you wanna know if the ballards have that rock
i dont need sleep, i need answers 
The chain could be put in there to give us zeros for some reason, like Robโs GOOO0 message.
Ohh right right
Well I'm on mobile if someone wants to count the amount of buckles on it
i count 37
Good morning my fellow eggtectives!
Today we will crack the first password, I'm 43.7% sure of it!
have we tried egg as the password
Good morning how was your sleep!
Sleepy
Good morning I am also very RESTed
this just made me realise how accurate the map is
A lot of changes to the press kit this morning
They finally uploaded the Barrels image
And the cathedral is uploaded in an odd resolution as well
What resolution
resolution for the new images is 2880x1620
2880x1620
Sheeeesh
Oh yeah, the fire one as well
I wonder if they were too low detailed to get info out of ๐ค
What resolution
same 2880x1620
SWAAAAAAAAAAAAA


would there be a new pic today?
No, that would be odd
how are ya?
P good I just woke up actually
I feel like going back to bed
today I will have pasta
I cooka da pasta!
Someone who is better at photoshop than me should do that difference thing on the new images
Have we cared for these O/0s previously? They were hard to see on the 1080p image, but they weren't there in the game or in the gameplay trailer
Extra
Add all Os found in the image
I think the letters on the statue are the same as on the ground
aiOouoa or maybe ai0ouoa
Rob only uploaded fire once, so there isn't two of them to do a difference check between
Is there a difference between the one uploaded here and the one in the press release folder?
more resolution
Try to do the same difference thing with the new one and the old one
Downscale the new one to 1080
And also try too upscale the old ones
I was thinking since the two new concepts in the drive are the same resolution we should try and difference those images
The difference mode only works on images that looks the same
But here is the result, for what it's worth ๐คท
Album cover
I meant the new cathedral and old Cathedral XD
i can even notice a difference by eye
The difference is that they softened up the smoke and made the embark footer darker, nothing that is hidden sadly
Yesterdays image looked choppy, I thought it was a stylised choice
Today's image is smoother

Before looked like ghosting now is smoke/dust looking
Is it just the latest ones in the new res?
yep, only Fire and TakeCover
They finally added BarrelsBarrelsBarrels but that is still 1080p
Gas gas gas
Why did they upload the images in 3k? ๐ค Why not opt for 4k instead? ๐ค
this looks legit
Emm where is this 3k imagine?
Thank you!
Yeah I also read Noouoa
I think there is some debris or something there that makes it look like an N
But logic tells me that it should be a small a and not an N, as all the other letters seems to be vowels
That could be something like Crockford's Base32 ๐ค
Try putting in aiqouoa / airouoa
no beans
:(

im going too deep into the wrong rabbit hole
