hmmmmmmmmmm

#

hm im seeing some similarities to the griffin and Apollo

slender lodge
#

Nothat long thing associated with the light beam

steady bough
#

Apollo being whom Aethusa was with

steady bough
tulip matrix
#

So this is just the weirdest coincidence.
This is a figure that appears on the facade of the Pisa Cathedral. Her name is Saint Reparata.
"Her persecutors tried to burn her alive but she was saved by a shower of rain. "

Florence holds a celebration in honour of Reparata each year on October 8

steady bough
#

which was yesterday

#

also says opa right there

tulip matrix
#

Yeah that opa thing is everywhere lol

steady bough
#

too bad its not the password

#

just realized we cant even enter passwords to Tier2 (ABc, DEF) or 3

tulip matrix
#

This part is kind of interesting

#

some cherubs holding a pair of keys

#

a password is kind of like a key

#

also OPE instead of OPA

fringe trench
#

whats the key represent/called?

tulip matrix
#

Good luck reading it though haha

tulip matrix
steady bough
#

that might be too deep

fringe trench
#

looks like a dead end tho.. would have been cool

slender lodge
#

lets try and back track and try different things

#

obscure things that you may think might be interesting - give it a go, maybe you'll find a connection

#

back then if you told me that we go from Devon to letterboxing, I'd have laughed because it's so weird

#

im like 80% sure that this here refers to egg tapping

#

in egg tapping game in Greek easter, opponents tap eggs and the person with no damage to the egg moves onto doing it with the next person until the end

#

ran out of luck probs refers to that

#

and he respawns because the symbolism of the whole egg tapping is about resurrection of jesus

steady bough
#

yeah idk

slender lodge
#

im sorta giving up on my obsession with egg tapping game

#

i feel liek its a deadend even tho it was super interesting to find

steady bough
#

so we have a PROMISE of happiness from the Griffin. the PROMISE of a empty tomb from Jesus. The PROMISES people made to Poseidon.

slender lodge
#

hmmmmm

#

too many promises

steady bough
#

the Minotaur is promising since its also a mythological creature like the Phoenix and Griffin

#

but also feels like a dead end

#

we need another hint xD

mortal ivy
#

I’m curious if the upped the difficulty, or if we once again are missing the obvious.

Slash and the HappyStatues were decoded so quick. Barrels had the answer plain in front of us, we just missed it because we didn’t use Occam’s razor. We let the more unplausible possibilities take the stage 🤔

When we found the Pisa Griffin that would have been enough to clear that hurdle, pre-password page.

Finding aíthousa seems “harder” to find than spotting the beans can.

So if the difficulty is roughly the same, we should have enough to solve it 🫠

steady bough
#

imagine weve already said the password but no one typed it in

fringe trench
#

i think they did up the difficulty. rob said "it shouldnt be easy to solve puzzles like this" when we were stumped about the Take Cover image

steady bough
#

they could also be throwing random things into the picture to throw us off, like the trident

#

its not really hidden

mortal ivy
fringe trench
#

nah the same comment from rob was in regards to them tricking us

steady bough
#

im not saying theyre tricking us

#

but like with the minecraft zombie, its just something added

fringe trench
steady bough
#

unless its there because zombies are essentially "reanimated"

#

aka brought back to "life"

fringe trench
#

tbh the zombie thing is a bit of a joke/meme on our part i think, it doesnt exactly look like a zombie head, it just has minecraft-like eyes and is green

slender lodge
#

yeah lol

#

i didnt think we'd consider it as a thing

#

i think what rob meant by 'trick' us is that they would never lie about smth

#

we might not have found the clue yet or we just didnt find the proper word/wording of the password

#

like for example geocaching compared to geocache

fringe trench
#

idk, we've tried a ton of passwords and still cant find it. i feel like the password isnt going to be solved by random guesses by spamming words related to the clues, but will be a clear "answer". it might need more clues until we know that something is very likely the "answer"

#

or we've collectively missed something

steady bough
#

so the only real "clues" we have is the Pisa Griffin, Aethusa and Poseidon

slender lodge
#

das what im sayinn

#

tho i still strongly feel like theres gonna be a proper written out answer like 'saj21ol!0' somewhere in the links

fringe trench
slender lodge
#

yeah a few things that i thought could totally be a thing

#

but werent

fringe trench
#

i tried spamming a bunch of key words before but couldnt find anything

slender lodge
#

lolol

mortal ivy
#

Rob said the password was all lowercase. I’m not sure if he meant only letters with that or if numerals and symbols are still a possibility

slender lodge
#

id assume theyre still possible

steady bough
#

what about Spaces

mortal ivy
#

Because if I were to say that a password was only lowercase, that would mean just that. (IT sysadmin)

#

Yes you can

#

Space counts as a symbol

slender lodge
#

why are passwords so complicated

#

why cant it just be like "namatamaisnotanegg"

#

exactly

#

1234, password, embark2018, patrickisthegoat

mortal ivy
#

Hypothetical passwords are, in reality most people use stupidly simple ones

slender lodge
#

but does it really matter

#

since breaking a password doesnt mean that 'swa' is gonna be easier to crack than 'aws'

#

or maybe.. depends on the algorithm used to bruteforce

#

fuck offtopic agane

somone try that one

slender lodge

#

i just got access to the dlc 2

tranquil ivy
#

Damn what it like?

slender lodge
#

its not bad

tranquil ivy
#

Does it have tree's?

steady bough
#

oh

slender lodge
#

its set in mars

#

so not really

tranquil ivy
#

Can't believe this

slender lodge
#

it also renamed my game to the semi finals

tranquil ivy
#

Imma cry

#

New guns?

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

the rocket launcher

#

literally

#

you can launch rockets into monaco map

tranquil ivy
#

Might buy now

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

the game also looks a lot more like tf2 now

#

they said they changed the engine to source now

#

yeah

steady bough
slender lodge
#

i like that new feature

#

iseult died in season 4 btw

#

;-;

slender lodge
#

devs watching me make up my own lore:

tranquil ivy
#

You never know

#

Maybe you're predicting the future

slender lodge
#

theres oddly a small chance

#

that its all true

#

hzhhahah i love that emote

#

😄

ew school

timid solstice
#

I wonder if the thing on the tree is a reference to buttons on trees like the stump in BF4 and Solomon Tree in BFV?

tulip matrix
#

ugh the mobile app for padlet is awful NotLikeThis

tulip matrix
#

Looka like a egg

timid solstice
#

this is an interior Lidar scan of what?

zenith crown
#

is that the taj mahal?

unkempt crypt
#

Looks more like a turbine

neon stream
#

Finally, I have a yellow name now 😅

neon stream
zenith crown
#

so whats inside this?

unkempt crypt
#

Interesting

neon stream
zenith crown
#

thats probs where the password is then

#

bc that looks like nama tama, and we saw nama tama cracked open

neon stream
zenith crown
#

anyone thinking what im thinking?

neon stream
#

"Oh boy, I have a meeting in two hours and I'm here looking for easter eggs"? 😛

#

I doubt you also have a meeting in two hours, but it could be 🤔

#

😛

zenith crown
#

about what i said

neon stream
#

I just don't see how the dome of the Cathedral links to the greek word we found on TakeCover

#

But it could be like you said, and I'm just missing something

neon stream
#

Probably just a coincidence, but the cross on top of the Pisa Cathedral dome is a Greek cross

#

(Greek cross is a cross with equal length of the sides)

tulip matrix
neon stream
tulip matrix
#

I had an idea that because the dome is egg shaped and is painted that maybe it's a clue about painted eggs aka Easter eggs

#

I'm just throwing yolk at the wall at this point ha

hidden nacelle

would there be a new image today?

hello hunters, top of the week for you

👀

plucky phoenix
#

is the text in Take cover 1. Αἵθουσα or 2. αίθουσα because they have different meanings. seems to me that it is 2

tulip matrix
#

Hard to tell. We've been exploring both options just in case

slender lodge
#

Yeh

zenith crown
#

hellooooo

slender lodge
#

Yo dash!!

#

Dashy...,.

plucky phoenix
#

what if the greek letters are just supposed to be english letters and the trident is actually the greek letter PSI so αίθουσα would be a-i-th-o-u-s-a-ps or alpha-iota-theta-omicron-upsilon-sigma-alpha-psi

zenith crown

Smh. I knew it

I know we aren't supposed to care for the layer text on images, but it realy throws me of that the BarrelsBarrelsBarrels image says: photoshop:LayerName="Hi there.!" photoshop:LayerText="Nothing to see here, we promise.! and Level 2 is titled "The Promise" 😵‍💫

I know, I must steel myself from such foolish behaviour

Forgive me Swa, for I have sinned 😶

zenith crown
slender lodge

haha

timid solstice
sharp flame
#

in relation to the Pisa Griffin

tulip matrix
#

maybe the chapter room, where they kept the griffin

timid solstice
#

Well its in the Pisa Cathedral Chapter House

tulip matrix
#

Time to burn the cathedral again and see if the password rises from the ashes

sharp flame
#

the exact image comes from inside the museum they have

#

near the Cathedral and Leaning Tower

timid solstice
#

wasnt it moved after this

#

or is it there now?

slender lodge
#

it was moved from the original cathedral after it burnt down right

#

and then the replica was placed on the roof

sharp flame
#

it moves around nowadays

#

The griffin is now in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Cathedral Museum), Pisa

#

but this is its official location^^

timid solstice
#

yes was going to post

#

so not in the chapter house now

sharp flame
#

anyway

solar glade
#

this reminds me, have we thought about the baptistery?

sharp flame
#

what about it?

solar glade
#

idk just came to mind - baptisms, rising, new life, all that

#

prolly nothing tho

sharp flame
#

wait a minute

#

An inscription, currently undeciphered, is located to the left of the door jamb of the Baptistery.

timid solstice
#

here it is now

sharp flame
sharp flame
#

okay I had a little thought

#

would you say that Geocaching relates to Easter Eggs in any way?

digital blade
#

probably not

slender lodge
#

yeah since geocaching/letterboxing is basically finding boxes instead of easter eggs

sharp flame
#

-nvm-

#

I mean like easter egg details

slender lodge
#

ohh

#

wiat im confused what

sharp flame
#

but yeah easter eggs both ways

#

I'm just thinking

#

maybe this stage could also be a reference to "secret hunting" etc

slender lodge
#

hmmmmm

#

what do you suggest we do from here then with that in mind

sharp flame
#

we have more than a few references to the death of Jesus

#

and his subsequent rebirth

#

Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus

#

...Easter Egg hunting. Maybe we need to look where that originated

slender lodge
#

Germany

sharp flame
#

okay physically sure

#

we don't have any german clues yet

#

people who started it?

slender lodge
#

yaeh tryna research about that

sharp flame
#

I'm just inserting the names of people in

#

but I'm unsure whether I should try the /search, or I should try it directly in the /, or I should put it into the password box 😭

ehh got a smell of EE, so here i am

#

ok any doc where can catch up ?

#

like where we stuck rht now

sharp flame
#

don't think we know where to start

cold forum
sharp flame
#

there isn't any confirmation that any of the directions we've taken are correct

cold forum
sharp flame
#

so technically nothing

fiery plume
#

Good Evening Ladies Gents and everything between ... we figured out the next playtest date yet?

digital blade
#

you dont think the devs would watch us go into the wrong path right

#

so they arent saying anything which means we on the right path

agile goblet
#

ok so lvl1, done and we looking for lvl2 clues ?

sharp flame

nova stagBOT
slender lodge
#

i think itll be better if we have only these pinned

  1. document (with link to all padlets in the future + previous summaries)
  2. current level's padlet
  3. only the recent summary
agile goblet
mortal ivy
slender lodge
#

mans overwhelmed

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

yeah that document has been kept up to date

#
  • padlet is updated every few hours with new findings for level x
#

so we get like a summary and a realtime document which is great

sharp flame
#

the padlet can definitely be cleared up once we know which info was irrelevant

slender lodge
#

orr

sharp flame
#

but iirc we shouldn't start a new one for each of ABCDEF

#

because info will definitely tie in

slender lodge
#

or what we can do is keep the padlet how it is and just color code the correct tree nodes with a specific color

#

so that we can traverse it

fallen jasper
#

Yeah

slender lodge
#

yeah right click on node and highlight with a specific color

sharp flame
#

just recoloured some nodes then

#

white is all unconfirmed

#

blue is rock solid

slender lodge
#

how solid is the rock

sharp flame
#

that's a good point

#

things like the Ψ may be an ingame symbol which appears (instead of that lock) at the start of a round

#

so I personally would not blue it totally yet

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

im more inclined to think that one of the tiers will most definitely tell us or give us an idea of what the third box will do

sharp flame
mortal ivy
#

I do think it's pretty telling that they actually showed an unlocked third box, and with a greek letter / trident in at that. If it was a rubber ducky I wouldn't have thought much of it

sharp flame
#

It would be super cool if the end of this level revealed one of the maps for the game 🤔

slender lodge
mortal ivy
#

I am inclinced to agree with Swa, I think the EEs and screenshots give hints of things we dont know about the game

digital blade
#

the final reveal will probably be the release date

slender lodge
#

lemme try to find one sec

mortal ivy
#

#easter-eggs message
You can all relax for a while we will let you know when we start Level 2, trust me on that.!

There are still things you have missed, but they are not needed to continue this adventure and puzzle, they are just small fun things, nods and secrets about the game... but you don't need to have them to REACH THE FINALS.!

slender lodge
#

yeah

#

he does say that mentioning the smaller easter eggs

#

but

#

geocaching was a big one.. and geocaching is kinda related to cashout gamemode

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

i mean we find boxes

#

lmao

#

idkkk

#

loosely related imo

sharp flame
#

I think it would be more solid if the answer was "cashout", "vault", "monaco" etc

slender lodge
#

3 statues
3 barrels
relates to teams of 3
and statues referring to the small statue falling off when u die

mortal ivy
slender lodge
#

ok yeah i do think that its not gonna tell us exactly about the game but its not too far from the game iself

#

like i wouldnt say its too far either

sharp flame
#

I think we can treat this as strictly one-way.
Easter Eggs reveal stuff about the game,
but game does not reveal clues about easter eggs.

mortal ivy
#

boxes = squares = geometry
cashbox = cache
(geometry -metry) + cache = geocache

pure loom
slender lodge
#

geometry dash = cashout = the finals

slender lodge
#

at least for this playtest

sharp flame
slender lodge
#

cuz playtest was strict to the NDA

sharp flame
#

also you can't go back and check

agile goblet
#

😬

sharp flame
#

lmao

slender lodge
#

they wouldnt restrict an EE to a handful of players

mortal ivy
#

When game is live, EE will most deffo be in game, but maybe teased from trailers / concept art still

slender lodge
#

only 1500 players played at once

#

bahahaha

#

frrrr

agile goblet
#

well BF4 CTE had death star as moon

sharp flame
#

imagine if T1-6 relied on Tier1, and Tier1 relied on a poster in the Monaco map, which nobody wrote down before the playtest ended

#

would be a bit awkward for the devs

#

most EE evidence should be able to be accessed at anytime, not on a time limit

slender lodge
#

that would be awkward... and to make it less awkward... they'd need to OPEN THE PLAYTEST AGIAN

#

so its a winwin in my books

It's not like they haven't shown cars before, but still nice to see

#

wack

sharp flame
#

in terms of clue priority, the griffin and the greek word are both tied

#

griffin does seem more profilic, as it takes up the entire image

#

still not sure whether to consider both images as 1A however

digital blade
#

its probably safe to assume they are both 1a

#

and maybe the cathedral side of things ties to 1b

sharp flame
digital blade
#

have we found a real connection between cathedral stuffs and the phoenix

slender lodge
#

I wonder if there's a better way of guessing which password belongs to which sub tier

#

At this rate we'd waste a lot of time just guessing every password on 5 different tabs

sharp flame
#

(1A)

slender lodge
#

Yeah I think thats the best for now

sharp flame
#

logically we're supposed to find A before B

#

so even if we find B, it's not like it was intended

slender lodge
#

True

#

We probably won't find b until a

#

I hope that's how they designed it

#

A²+b²+ç2=A/¶¶∆∆°F

sharp flame
#

just some simple math

steady bough
#

Inb4 they already have us all the clues for every password

The Griffin Warrior Tomb is a Bronze Age shaft tomb dating to around 1450 BC, near the ancient city of Pylos in Greece. The grave was discovered by a research team sponsored by the University of Cincinnati and led by husband-and-wife archaeologists Jack L. Davis and Sharon Stocker.

Oriri takes a present infinitive

#

so it would mean "to rise" or "to be born"

#

but in a modern English sense, saying "rise from the ashes" works just fine, yeah

The literal translation is" to rise from The ashes " the good English translation is rise from the ashes

So either work

The badge of the Order of the Phoenix is a cross EYES

The first version of the Order (1926–1935) featured the letters "E-T-T-A" in Byzantine uncial on each arm of the cross, the initials of the motto Εκ της τέφρας μου αναγεννώμαι ("From my ashes I am reborn").

Okay after further thought, the trident is definitely a trident

#

not psi at all

It's also definitely a clue, as an in-game panel would have a word label underneath it

like "straight up" or something

sharp flame
#

also that specific symbol is known as "the broken trident"

timid solstice

was just going to say that

symbolizes the break from colonial rule

small development on the trident: the only version of the symbol itself that I've seen is the one in the Barbados Flag

all of the others aren't shaped nearly the same

Does Barbados use the same alphabet as Greece?

if so.. I guess the focus should be around Barbedos..

Euro-Bajans (5% of the population)[1] have settled in Barbados since the 17th century, originating from England, Ireland, Portugal, and Scotland. In 1643, there were 37,200 whites in Barbados (86% of the population).[99] More commonly they are known as "White Bajans". Euro-Bajans introduced folk music, such as Irish music and Highland music, and certain place names, such as "Scotland District", a hilly region in the parish of St. Andrew. Among White Barbadians there exists an underclass known as Redlegs comprising followers of the Duke of Monmouth after his defeat at the Battle of Sedgemoor, as well as the descendants of Irish indentured labourers and prisoners imported to the island.[100] Many additionally moved on to become the earliest settlers of modern-day North and South Carolina in the United States. Today the Redlegs number only around 400.[101]

#

the answer is no.

#

no ties to Greece..

quiet silo
#

The broken trident is a reference to the old emblem of Barbados that shows Britannia holding a trident, saying that Barbados has broken from British colonialism. The three points of the trident are said to represent the government of, for and by the people and the Ultramarine is the sea with the gold as the sand.

#

Yeah Barbados' flag is a reference to their departure from Britain although interesting it comes from Britannia

#

Britannia is based on Athena but I can't draw much a connection there.

This might be on to something https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(constellation)

"Celestial historian Richard Allen noted that unlike the other constellations introduced by Plancius and La Caille, Phoenix has actual precedent in ancient astronomy, as the Arabs saw this formation as representing young ostriches, Al Ri'āl, or as a griffin or eagle"

reef trench
#

so the answer could be a person linked to galileo and the clues we have so far

quiet silo

We got a telescope so I thought maybe it has something to do with constellations?

Could it have something to do with the Galilean moons? Io, Europa, Ganyemede, and Callisto?

#

The Constellation was discovered during Galileo's time and was first marked when he was around 40 years old but I can't find a link to him.

#

"Of these, he labelled two stars close together Lambda, and assigned Omicron, Psi and Omega to three stars, which subsequent astronomers such as Benjamin Gould felt were too dim to warrant their letters. A different star was subsequently labelled Psi Phoenicis, while the other two designations fell out of use"

What's the Greek letter denoted by the trident?

fallen jasper
#

I added the Galileo thing to the Padlet page

quiet silo
#

Not finding much to link it to Galileo besides the fact that it was found at the time he was alive.

If anyone else is burrowing into the rabbit hole it may be worth going back to check out the Lamp of Galileo in the Duomo of the cathedral the Pisa Griffin sits in.

 In 1973 astronomer Olin J. Eggen discovered it is a variable star, varying in magnitude between 4.3 and 4.5 with an approximate period of 30 days. A more recent study identified two possible periods of 43.7 and 48.1 days, with amplitudes of 0.038 and 0.023 magnitudes

Galileo is known at least in astronomy for his finding on Nebulas and the Milky Way in particular.

#

I've got so many loose connections between one or two clues, then some connections between another one or two, but no connecting thread for all of them. I feel like that's the answer, we just need to see how all these pieces fit.

#

Galileo is most known for discovering:
Earth's Orbit

The Pendulum Effect (the idea that a pendulum swing will always take the same amount of time to finish a swing even as the distance get's shorter as the kinetic force stays the same. Discovered using the lamp in the Duomo of the Cathedral in Pisa, now named after him.)

The Falling Bodies Law (Discovered by him dropping items of varying weight off the top of the leaning tower of Pisa. The law dictates that all bodies fall at an equal rate giving small adjustments to weather conditions and aerodynamics.)

Discovering the Moon has a rough surface.

Four moons around Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto)

The discovery of many more stars, or "invisible stars" the idea that the night sky was full of stars and we just couldn't see some of them. (This is attributed to his works on the milky way and nebulas)

Establishing math as the language of scientific discovery and pioneered the scientific method.

Of these I think the Pendulum effect due to it's link to the lamp in Pisa, the falling bodies due to it's link to the Tower of Pisa, the star discovery, and his four moons are of the most significance due to their relation to astronomy and the telescope in the picture Rob shared with us.

Galileo also observed Neptune (who’s symbol as a planet is the 🔱) but he mistook it for a star, so wasn’t credited with its discovery.

fallen jasper
#

Adding most of that to the Padlet

quiet silo
pure loom
#

I’d say at this point Galileo’s lamp might be the best path, considering it burned incense (ashes). Maybe there’s something about that we’ve missed.

quiet silo
#

I'm looking at it now too trying to find some link to our other hints.

#

I think we have everything we need given the loose reference we got as a hint today. We just need that connecting thread that puts it all together.

tulip matrix

#

I almost want to say we've connected too many pieces, muddied the waters so to speak. But I have no idea where we would start to trim the fat on this, it's all got some connection.

quiet silo
# celest sparrow Start back at galileo

Yeah I'm gonna start from the Griffin being a mark of the cathedral, to point us at the lamp, and work forward from there. I think the main thing is keeping that first message "Rise from the ashes." Oriri Ex Cinere in mind, they must have sent it thinking we could divine a result from that.

sharp flame
#

You think Galileo is part of this?

are we sure Galileo has anything to do with level 2? So far we only 100% have the pisa griffin, the Greek letters and the Latin phrase from Dusty

quiet silo
# proud minnow

Rob sent this today which is 100% Galileo's clothes on the egg.

reef trench
#

looking at all the clues it seems to first be pointing to the pisa griffin, secondly giving us a hint in the form of a cathedral which points us to the pisa cathedral, and finally back to galileo

#

not sure about the space stuff, but to me it seems like pisa cathedral + galileo

spiral plume
quiet silo
#

I'm digging up more on the lamp and looking over our hints but if anyone wants to dig around the Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa for info I would appreciate it. It's the cloister the original lamp was moved to after the new one took it's place. See if there is any connections to some of the other hints we got. It's also a cemetery so has some connections to death/rebirth/etc.

neon stream

hmmm I see a few connections with Apollo 🤔

Griffins seem to be strongly associated with Apollo.
Aethusa was loved by Apollo and bore to him Eleuther and Linus
And also, with all these connections with space: Apollo was a spaceflight program

I don't think they posted the Galileo thing because we went too far off track

but it does give us some direction

also have you guys considered the famous Pisa Tower experiment that Galileo proposed?

I think this image in the Padlet is important looking at Take Cover harder I'm almost certain we are on the wrong track with it being Poseidon's daughter. We've got a major theme of cathedrals/architecture I think the top translation is the correct one of hall, chamber, etc.

for my own sanity I'm not considering "Take Cover" for now

If I'm not being stupid, doesn't the stars line up?
(I assume they would appear reversed on the lens)

What if it's not dots because they have a gradient to the thickness indicating that it's going away from the origin which is the last dot
