Yeah, they’re just ornamental. I like the little zip-up cover on the LMG rail.
the lace on the smg does seem like it was put there on purpose
even the strap which covers the entire smg. It looks like the guns are wearing clothes haha
Just chillin there like a snek
They must be cold
i mean, it'd be pointing out to the Soviet/US Space Race at the time
I mean technically, here, the theme is clothing and accessories
yeah 100%. one of the clues is literally called Luna. seems like a very good match
Yes, so maybe the gunskins etc are Soviet space, but the EE is the space race
Iseult has an asteroid named after her
211?
I'm at work so look it up yer dam self 
Isolda (minor planet designation: 211 Isolda) is a very large, dark main-belt asteroid. It is classified as a C-type asteroid and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous material. The spectra of the asteroid displays evidence of aqueous alteration.It was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on 10 December 1879, in Pola, and nam...
Ye that's it
Iseult (), alternatively Isolde (), is the name of several characters in the legend of Tristan and Iseult. The most prominent is Iseult of Ireland, the wife of Mark of Cornwall and the lover of Tristan. Her mother, the queen of Ireland, is also named Iseult. The third is Iseult of the White Hands, the daughter of Hoel of Brittany and the sister ...
It would be a pretty smart way to tie in the preestablished brand name with a real life legend
not sure I can find too many connections atm though
Yeah, maybe we just stow that fact for now
if it were a clue it would be one in the same way that the egg in the cathedral was
interesting. that asteroid was picked up by the Arecibo Observatory, which area covers 118 acres
and we know Embark Devs know about the observatory 
cause the fact that the cathedral and aethusa had the same number 1064 was an very unique coincidence, and I think the egg calendar inside was really just a cherry on top rather than a planned clue. Or maybe there really is a grand plan to all this.
I’m favouring the latter.
it's cooler, so I believe in it too.
Rob did say that a few of the clues had multiple levels to them
this 118 I think is what we need to solve
then the answer should fall into place (optimistically)
Hmmm
it appears twice
and I think the intention is that all of the clues we have available to us should connect without a second image yet
This hunt sure has an insane amount of detail
so many ideas floating around in my brain
this is my first as well
it's awesome the effort that they're even putting into something like this
floating around my head like a satellite 🙃
“Today Embark Studios announced they will be prioritising Easter Eggs over both of their games.”
I mean.. do you deserve the games if you can't even finish the easter eggs?
Don’t tempt them!!
You sound like a lunatic…
only when the full moon rises
We both know the answer..
What if...
The moon is a metaphor for like
A brain
Welcome aboard then! 
oh no.. I am not going to help you lot
We must embrace our dark side
I am wayyyy too busy with life itself :c
ahoy, let's embark to the dark side
Easter Eggs are life!
I mean I helped with the EE before but people don't seem to bother with me so yeah xD
it's the effort that counts man
I helped before and I still help
I know, I try and feed the mill at times but nothing conclusive
That being I don't contribute almost anything LOL
I don't have time to keep up to date
just doing some addition right now...
- We find about 80-90% of the clues in each image before the hunt progresses and then we leave the image behind
- Rob has stated that there are clues with multiple levels
1 + 2 = ....
2
no. (but in german)
just keeping our brains in shape :)
Accept Christ NOW
leeme check padlet real quick
anyway I was just going to say, it can't hurt to gather up previous clues to try and make sense of them (with the context of the answer), and then put them in a friendly A4 format
in fact I might go do that
wait its solved ?
t1-b is oslved ?
da faq
i got away for a few days and u guys solve it /
why............... why
congrats tho
nice password, i would have never guessed it 💀
Not sure if this observation has already been made, but the blanket has a corner turned over at the bottom left, to show us that the other side is lighter - I think this points us solidly to the ‘’dark side of the moon” - either Pink Floyd-wise or the far side of the actual Moon.
Dark Side of the Moon is about mental health struggles
Specifically about their former band mate, Syd Barrett.
Something to keep in mind
Syd Barrett was also a painter
Ousted from the band for being a bit lunaticus
someone just made a joke about Pink Floyd and the Dark Side of the Moon
at work
it's a sign
my brain is equilateral
I think it was pretty mutual. In later years, Roger Waters wanted to visit Syd, but a mutual friend advised against it because Syd apparently didn't like the Pink Floyd part of his life.
Also, I think DSOTM is more about mental health, the human condition etc, perhaps influenced by Barrett's struggles. Later, Shine On You Crazy Diamond was written specifically about him.
WTF... Pink Floyd's first release in Russia (Time / On the Run / Money) was via a flexi-disc included in Krugozor Magazine, in October 1980. Throughout the magazine their name was mis-translated as "Pink Flamingo" 🦩
The clue is in ARC Raiders then 😛
My brain is very smooth so my thoughts are more aerodynamic
^ not actually Duhmeister
OLMAOOO
During the song 'On The Run,' from Dark Side Of The Moon, there is a female announcer, announcing flights at an airport, including 'Rome'
cute
Strangely, in the song 'Money' a spoken section seems to include Rob's exact thoughts on how he came up with the idea for this Easter Egg.
One of the lyrics to DSotM is "Leave a message in the dust just for me"
We shall return': Eugene Cernan was the last man to walk on the moon. There was no return. He wrote his daughter's initials — TDC — in the dust of the moon, and then before climbing back into the lunar module, he gave a short speech, signifying the moment.
The Apollo 11 goodwill messages are statements from leaders of 73 countries around the world on a disc about the size of a 50-cent piece made of silicon that was left on the Moon in 1969 by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
The disc also carried names of the leadership of the Congress, the four committees of the House and Senate responsible for legislat...
That's cool.
Yeah I agree
hmmm... I can't find that lyric
Ah, it's not PF - it was from Lil Wayne's song Dark Side Of The Moon
Wait, really? 😂
wtf google prioritizing lil Wayne over Pink Floyd
disgraceful
Well I guess it did get me to look up that cool tidbit lol
This is from the goodwill message
We need a Galileo emoji
:galileoChamp:
Yeah. Speaking of stars... the day that Luna 3 took the first photo of the far side of the Moon was the day Simon Cowell was born. Unrelated, I'm sure!

Wait... 118
ok I'm waiting
Pink Floyd's album #11 (The Wall), Track 8 - is called Empty Spaces.
"Empty Spaces" is a song by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, featured as the eighth track on their 1979 rock opera The Wall. It contains a backmasked message.
"It contains a backmasked message."
Directly before the lyrical section, there is a hidden message isolated on the left channel of the song. When heard normally, it appears to be nonsense. If played backwards, the following can be heard:
–Hello looker...
–Congratulations, You have just discovered the secret message.
–Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm, Chalfont...
–Roger, Carolyne's on the phone!
–Okay.[2][3]
I know!
do it now
Chalfont Common is a hamlet in the parish of Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, approximately one mile to the north east of Chalfont St Peter village centre. Chalfont Common is 19.7 miles (31.7 km) west-north-west of Charing Cross, central London.
It is located east of the River Misbourne and was ...
Roger Waters congratulates the listener for finding this message, and jokes[citation needed] that they can send their answer to "Old Pink" (being either a reference to Syd Barrett, or a foreshadowing of Pink's eventual insanity[citation needed]), who lives in a funny farm (a term to describe a psychiatric hospital) somewhere in Chalfont. Before he can reveal the exact location, however, he gets interrupted by producer James Guthrie in the background who says Carolyne (Waters' then wife) is on the phone.[4]
any Insane Asylums in Chalfont?
Are you asking me specifically? 
just thinking aloud 
Chalfont Common is also the home of Gott's Monument which was erected in 1785 by Sir H T Gott. According to local tradition, the monument either commemorates a hunt attended by George III, or an incident in which the king got lost in the forest surrounding the monument.
The plaque on the obelisk, which is the height of horseback, reads:
1785
To NEWLAND I Mile III Furl.g's
To Chesham VII Miles
Built by Sir H T Gott
Restored by W Brown in 1879
To Denham IV Miles
To Uxbridge VI Miles
LONDON XXI
The monument was damaged in 1879 by a lightning strike and was rebuilt. Remarkably it was struck by lightning again in the 1960s, so was reduced from its original size of 60 ft to 20 ft.
the height of horseback
And y'all think us Americans have wierd measurements 
sheesh!
I'll add this path into the padlet - it seems to good to be true with the hidden message though!

Very good find, I'm sure they look for Easter eggs in other media when coming up with stuff for this one.
good luck finding a spot
Rob said he likes Punk music, right?

DISCLAIMER: PUNK IS NOT FOR SALE! Nazi Floyds F$ck Off!
Barrett devised the name "Pink Floyd" by juxtaposing the first names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council[38] whom he had read about in a sleeve note for a 1962 Blind Boy Fuller album
hmm is the "space lace" a pun for "space race"?
That's clever.
Perfect for an emoji here. 

does anyone know what the grey rectangle on the trigger guard of the ak is? it seems really out of place.
Yeah, I noticed that too. There is also one on the blue tape around the stock of the AK (it is side-on to the camera), and a blue one on the folded stock of the MAC-10
oh shit i didnt notice them, the one on the mac 10 looks super out of place
There is some tape or something around the far side of that stock, you can see it underneath it, if that makes sense?
so is it just decoration?
oh yeah
I've just noticed that the Xs on the password page aren't the same size.

985 Rosina, provisional designation 1922 MO, is a stony asteroid and sizable Mars-crosser on an eccentric orbit from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 14 October 1922, by astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory in Germany. The asteroid's name is a ...
btw was wondering, should i be putting all the passwords ive tried into the list? because i feel like it would just get filled with all my garbage random guesses
wtf...
Probably only the ones that are closely related I reckon
Or that you think are
like i tried all the elements, im guessing i shouldnt just fill it with that
yeah, not with something that extended
cool thats what i thought
apparently 985 is a Markov number, Andrey Markov (the guy that came up with these numbers, which it is named after) happens to be a well know Russian mathematician. I know this is like 4 levels to deep at this point, but i thought id still share tho.
Interesting - one to keep in the back of the mind for the moment - it may be helpful later!
Good morning! 🌞 Seems like you’ve been spaghetti diving since I was last on 😂
I think we made a few good finds!
I’m gonna read theough it when I get home to my computer. Hoping to be wow’d 🤩
💀
What the actual.
I know right?!
Both the previous passwords and Monaco
That's an amazing coincidence
imagine this image has passwords to every tier

may 29??? thats the same birthday as masaru satu who did a lot of the music to all those films by akira u guys were talking about, the one who used beethoven #9 as a a musical model...
Start 3rd position... 
WHAT is HAPPENING
masaru did 9 films for akira too
then there's just 9 everywhere
The simulation is collapsing on itself
glitch in the matrix moment
i can smell the padlet being filled up by this image
its the netrunnners
u guys have been joking about just getting more content from the devs, while they laughing at u cos they wont release next playtest till all levels are solved
pfft noooooo

pepe silvia moment

Here's the race
Just for
Because it looks nice
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_de_Monaco?wprov=sfla1
Circuit de Monaco is a 3.337 km (2.074 mi) street circuit laid out on the city streets of Monte Carlo and La Condamine around the harbour of the Principality of Monaco. It is commonly, and even officially, referred to as "Monte Carlo" because it is largely inside the Monte Carlo neighbourhood of Monaco.
The circuit is annually used on three week...
duh...
we all know what you're doing lmao
you're fallinggggg
You can see most of the circuit in the game, I actually looked for it 😂
But then again... you probably can see most of Monaco 😂
That MIGHT have been what made me find a way to get out of the map 😇
Did we end up reporting that bug? I don't remember 😅
I don't know, I delegated all my bug reporting to RHB 😂
What if the A A and BC are the corners of a triangle and 460 is the length of one of the sides and we gotta use Pythagorean theorem to figure out the value of the other sides
Ooooh boy.
Serp during the beta:
😂
Were you able to actually walk outside the boundries? I managed to succesfully escape the outer walls whenever i wanted, but ended up dead immediately every time
It's much easier to just move the camera really high up in spectator mode
you can see really far
lemme see
wait that's a good point
the As are underneath points
The triangle in the iseul-t logo is a right angle after all
If I wasn't at work I would have tried for myself 😅
Well I think a right angle is out of the picture
I was thinking those 2's on the barrel might actually be squares
Yeah, only for like 5m before falling into the void 😂
Interesting
Like C²= A² + B²
I think this stage might be pretty closely tied to the previous one
the images are almost exactly identical
I guess the triangle could be interpreted as a delta, so we could be looking for the change/difference with the previous image 🤔
Pretty good explanation for an equilateral triangle
But that might not be what we should do, the answer for the tier should be within this image 😅
Given that we have a Yellow and Cyan sponsors, could the next sponsor be Magenta? 🤔
An educated guess, if nothing else
I just want to settle this barrel on the LMG thing.
The barrels on ospuze and iseult are identical, the only reason why we see the "numbers" now is that the iseult one has twice the resolution
All the scratches are the same
Seen a few red ones
I think Holtow is first in line
since it's the only other one that's appeared
I think that the finding of clues should be relatively easy
and the solving of them hard
Yes me too, but people keep coming back to these 2 8 2s haha
When I'm not busy, I'm gonna collect the previous clues into a more compact document
Good point
Btw how many levels are there on the hunt?
yes
😛
(We don't know, the current level has 9 tiers)
Ok tanks for the info lol
Oh ok
The current level has 3 tiers (so far) Tiers 1 and 2 have 6 levels each, T3 assumed to be the same
Yeah, I guess it depends on how you count them
Day 467, Tier 15
They still think I'm helping them.
Wait, what do you mean by Tier 1 and 2 having 6 levels each? 🤔
Ohhh I think I see what you mean. You mean that Tier 2 ABC are 3 tiers? I never thought about it that way, it could be. I thought it was like a combinations of Tier 1 A,B and C
I guess that if that's the case, we'll see a Tier 1 ABC completed once we finish this one
I think you mean Tiers 1 and 2 have subsections. They are both in Level 2, just to avoid confusion.
Tier 1C-1 has entered the chat
Levels / Tiers / Subsections / Days spent looking at Wikipedia 
Level 1 was what we are calling the Geocache Easter egg. Level 2 is The Promise (multiple Tiers and Sections), and I suspect Level 3 will be in-game
And this is the unofficial song of this Level:

Any further progress on the Pink Floyd ‘Empty Spaces’ path?
Sometimes I think the clues just lead us to something interesting to show it to us. Like a waterfall on a side track from the main hike. Akira Kurosawa was like that for the last subsection.
This race was heartbreaking and this crash couldve ended so much worse
though the restart was absolute GOLD
I’ve actually wondered about Baku being a map in the game - that castle area would be cool.

i like new candy ahaha
the other thing i can think of is counting these stitches – other than that i gotta go back to work

i found something 👀
look at the light, the album "the dark side of the moon"
Luna 3 mission
And the perspex stands add to that!
i see it
Prism rainbow 🌈
so now let's see the whole album? 🥲
maybe these numbers are timestamps on songs
OOOOH new image
I was waiting for this
If I had to guess, the smg is getting an image next, then the LMG
home and ready to go 🏃
great!!
maybe one of this? i don't know (money is also kinda related to the game)
This is proof that the Moon lead is the best lead lol
moon lead was the only lead imo
Yeah, i never left it actually ahahahah
do not leave the moon 
Okay so we were right about pink floyd right
in case you didn't see who it was named after ^^
Dark side of the Moon album is 100% where they wanted us to be led
his name is Anders Angstrom
A.A.
ohmygod
maybe we were supposed to be led to him?
Luna 3 ---> Dark side of the moon
Pink Triangle ---> Pink floyd ---> Dark side of the moon album
Prism ---> spectroscopy
---> A.A
Anders Angstrom
(just contextualising all of the clues in the first image)
not sure why the link butchers his last name like that
?
in the link
coordinates match
We still need to find a connection to 460 BC, seems like pretty much all else have been "uncovered"
new vid about the EE hunt is in #🌟┇videos-content, for those interested 🙂
from this website anyways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_craters_on_the_Moon:_A–B#A
Abderus + 460bc led me here https://greekreporter.com/2022/07/30/twelve-labors-hercules-greek-mythology/
oh my god why did I think you'd done a video on this clue at absolute lightspeed
lol - nope!
Just keeping everyone else up to speed!
And hoping to rope in a few victims helpers
Well if I suddenly disappear for 10 minutes, you'll know where to find me :)
i found the 460 BC and Abderus link
We are back at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democritus
Born c. 460 BC
Abdera, Thrace
Yeah, Democritus was the only good 460 BC lead, but it wasn't tangible enough without Abderus
He also has a crater
Honestly I think we'll be able to get the answer from this
I feel like we're really close already
Working on a Level 2 infographic, give me a bit
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but everytime I think of the Dark side of the moon album I think of the "meme" about how if you play the album at the same time as the movie The Wizard of Oz it syncs up perfectly with the story line, I wouldn't be suprised if that comes in to play but maybe not at all.
This is the locations for the Ångström and Democritus craters
Democritus is from Abdera, which according to legend might be attributed to Abderus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democritus
Oh, you already mentioned that!
Yeah, that's why I came back to him. When we got the first image and found 460 BC, the best lead was Democritus, but now with the Abderus lead it just cemented that he was important ☺️
Can we just take a moment to celebrate that this is the first image with a non-blurry thingamahjig!

nice!
There's some kind of either barcode or spectrum lines below the iseult logo
I recognise that!
A spectral line is a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum, resulting from emission or absorption of light in a narrow frequency range, compared with the nearby frequencies. Spectral lines are often used to identify atoms and molecules. These "fingerprints" can be compared to the previously collected ones of atoms a...
It'll be an element
Damn Rockhound that was a crazy pick up at a glance lol
That is connected to the book Ångström wrote
it **may just be texture markings like seen down here
I'm just happy I immediately recognized the Cistercian Numerals.
That's my ee flex
thats.. JESUS TOAST
So hard to know if the lines are supposed to lead to Anders Ångström... or the other way around 😅
I don't think these are pointed arrows in one direction, just a lot of connected clues
so all clues are to specific craters so far right>?
If it isn't texture marking Rockhound it looks pretty similar to copper
so where does 118 118 come into it?
I have to say it's damn near impossible to know what element it would be
it's like those musical notes
except 100 times harder
We only know of 118 and AAN, we aren't sure if AAN is supposed to be converted into numbers yet
try iron
AAN is 118, and there is no way it's a coincidence
Yeah, but then we aren't having 118 118, just 118
probably yeah
Iron misses that large clustered chunk about halfway down the band
Maybe the lines down the perspex are the same thing?
I think Clair de Lune is a something worth looking into. It has loads of connections to what we have so far
Moonlight Sonata is also gorgeous and worth listening to even if it leads to nothing lol
I do genuinely think the answer is accessible now
it's probably sitting on the wikipedia page for one of these things
was there a second A in this new image>?
looks like a weapon charm
Checking those now but that one is much longer harder to match up since it's space out a bit more
its repeating a pattern?
yeah, just noticed that
repeated texture, or clue
looks more a clue to me
barcode?
wait, that has numbers in it
"Embark merch 50% sale!" ... wtf
If I could get a Nama Tama Plushie for the low low cost of $75 I'd buy 4 of them

I need to give them out to friends and family to get them invested in the game and community.
Than buy many
hundreds
thousands
I don't have that much money
What is they're 1c?
I'm spending all of my electric bill keeping the Padlet open all the time
Thank you for your service
Breaking it down into the one repeatable section I don't see any matches on the elements closest that it could be looks like Berkelium number 97
bit more contrast just in case
I keep it open while working at my work computer so technically I'm using the states power to power it
Have you looked at Element 118
Almost none of the elements have a big chunk like that preceded by a gap and very view start with it incase the pattern is supposed to start at the beginning
I have oganesson does not have a spectral pattern as of now
In fact 101-118 all lack a spectral pattern
Alrighty
right above the cistercian number, there's this "dirt" on the stand. (turned 90 degrees to the left)
Although given previous hints these spectral patterns could just be to point is the direction of elements and we are supposed to combine the number hint of 118 to find Oganesson. Rob does seem to be a fan of making the answer a Megazord combination of hints lol
I do think it's interesting that Oganesson is the element with the most mass
the very last one on the periodic table
despite being grouped with noble gases it is believed to be a solid now. How ever that works
they can never really tell, because of how obscure and hard it is to get readings
@mortal ivy so Abderus is the link to Abdera ?
Yeah fair enough it's half life is about half a second so it barely exists as is lol
Yes, which is where Democritus was born cirka 460 BC
is it 2 names for the same place?
Yes, 118 pointing to so many things that make sense to be linked makes it tricky
Abderus is a greek deity, son of Hermes
but is the name just similar or?
"Greek legend attributed the name to an eponymous Abderus who fell nearby and was memorialized by Hercules's founding of a city at the location."
it's like putting a battery into a microwave and taking a picture as it goes boom, then attempting to determine which state of matter the smoke was
Abderus - Abdera... similar or the same is what I'm asking. I understand who Abderus was
The edge of the blanket could be another hint towards the spectral absorption lines.
Embark seeing us look at the edge of textures now that they all look like spectrographs:
Look what I found on the wiki for Abdera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdera,_Thrace)
"The chief coin type, with griffon."
@mortal ivy I still dont fully understand, why not just put Άβδηρα for Abdera instead of Άβδηρος for Abderos on the gun
I assume to make it a bit harder?
why not
I've been looking back at the first image now that we have the new one. The "460" on the AK buckle led me to this: "Blue light below 460 nm is what has been linked to oxidative retinal damage. The cumulative effect of this light has been linked to the potential development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness for people over 55. So, light below 460nm has been labeled ‘bad blue light’."
Clues to solve;
AK blue engraving:
2.75 3.26?
LMG stock white label:AAИ= 118 ?
SMG body:118
118 could be pointing to Empty Spaces by Pink Floyd (the hidden message thing, is a strong pointer for that). But it might also be a dead-end clue.
Pink as a colour: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/stop-this-absurd-war-on-the-color-pink/
Along those lines... notice that all the colours are represented in the first image - here are the green, yellow, red and of course blue ones
The M60 barrel gives us violet (or indigo?)
Which could also take us back to Pink Floyd - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZxmZmBfnU

Please help me
Dark Side of the Rainbow – also known as Dark Side of Oz or The Wizard of Floyd – is the pairing of the 1973 Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon with the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. This produces moments where the film and the album appear to correspond. Members of Pink Floyd have denied any intent to connect the album to the film.
For those who don't know about that
"Detractors argue that the phenomenon is the result of the mind's tendency to find patterns by discarding data that does not fit."
Rob sent us there...
I'm reading Johannes Werner's wiki page and I keep reading his name as Johannes Weiner and giggling like an idiot
at the moment, all clues are pointing to atoms ..
I tried "apophenia" as the password 
It didn't work cause it was TOO smart Rock lmao
hahaha
I'm gonna say this and this time I'm going to be totally wrong. But the past two times we have been startlingly close right in the beginning and then run down really deep rabbit holes. I'm gonna keep my focus on the numbers and the moon and see what I dig up.
someone already posted this right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oganesson
Oganesson is a synthetic chemical element with the symbol Og and atomic number 118. It was first synthesized in 2002 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, near Moscow, Russia, by a joint team of Russian and American scientists. In December 2015, it was recognized as one of four new elements by the Joint Working Party of t...
Idk if we posted it but I ran through that a couple times and didn't notice a ton of relevant info unfortunately. I would encourage others to look at it though since I came back from vacation in the middle of us discovering clues on the first image.
I got the itch about Luna-3, the moon hints, and specifically 118 and the latitude and longitude on the AK
what was that about the lat and long on the AK? I don't think I saw that previously
I guess this 29.9N 41.6W
AK stock label:
20.9N 41.6W= Angström crater
where are people getting 20.9
my bad oops
The padlet has 20.9 think it was a mistype
Hold up
The moon has lat and long too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenographic_coordinate_system
The selenographic coordinate system is used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth's moon. Any position on the lunar surface can be referenced by specifying two numerical values, which are comparable to the latitude and longitude of Earth. The longitude gives the position east or west of the Moon's prime meridian, which is the line passi...
Gonna save you a few clicks
re: angstrom
It is sometimes used to express wavelength s of visible light, ultraviolet (UV) light, X rays, and gamma rays
not sure where you are going as the crater name you posted
My index finger thanks you. I figured we just used earth coordinates for some reason
29.9 41.6 is slap bang in the middle of the atlantic.. so yeah I'm guessing its about the moon haha
Or Rob is trying to tell us where Atlantis is
This is where Angströms crater, 29.9N 41.6W is
yeah indeed sorry
How much money can we scrounge together for a submarine expedition? Rob wants us to go to the middle of the Atlantic! He's trying to tell me something!
In a bit I'll try to make a condensed version of the Level 2 clues, so we won't have to sift through padlets and 500+ pages when we're on Tier 3F and want to connect to previous symbols and key names. Basically just a list of all the clues and how they are relevant to the answer.
Any links people found with the Scientist the crater is named after? He developed spectroscopy which would link into the spectographs rock spotted.
you can go to the artwork headings in the doc and grab these for reference
(mainly for people who want to jump into the EE hunt with a short enough attention span that they won't want to read half a thousand pages worth of documentation)
yup yup
made it in word though, might turn it into a collaborative google doc and share it with y'all rn
this thing is a lifesaver man
sure is, I started making my own in the doc until I found it in their company materials
I tried the main body of text with it but preferred the other Embark font Montserrat
agreed, Saira is not a good font for paragraphs
(actually gave them feedback about this during the Alpha)
lol
I'm gonna take a quick snack break
feel free to fill it in for me while I'm gone
okay time to plagiarize from the main document
Ive added the link to a TLDR section at the top
would work too
I'm following clue threads across the images
put the clues under ''fire''
which would cut through both
just the fire clues
now to.. condense.. this
pisa first thing
I think I'll stick to solid confirmed clues
check at the LEVEL 2 - THE PROMISE : ACTIVE header
Tier 1a - 1064 (Oct 6th - 11th, 5 days)
The password for tier 1a was “ 1064 ” which came from the date that the Pisa Cathedral started construction, which was according to the Pisan calendar at the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisa_Cathedral and also the asteroid code for 1064_Aethusa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1064_Aethusa. The clues for this tier were the Pisa Griffin that once stood atop the Pisa Cathedral and artwork with a cathedral as its main focus being hit by meteors. There were hidden Greek letters that made the word Aethusa scattered and Aethusa plants too.
rabbit holes would make it longer than it had to be
gg
True, but the purpose of this document is to round up all the clues we found
so that people can easily reference it when finding new clues
so we should probably include clues which haven't been solved yet too
hmm, all the clues will be tricky to summarise
could x-X be a reference to the angstrom metric unit of length?
Potentially, especially since it's meant to be read as X-x (as the mag is turned away from us) and the unit is 10 to the power of -10
yes, that's what i was referring to
nice
that must be 10^-10
it's the only thing that makes sense to me now that we have new clues. so trying to tie in everything
you can link me the map? thx
Only AAИ / 118 left to solve, until we have an answer for every clue we found in candy_
i'm also looking into these 2.75 3.76
they could work as coordinates or astronomical units
where are those from? I haven't seen them previously
found them earlier
#easter-eggs message
Ah ok, I thought they were from the previous image and thought I had totally missed them.
Clues to solve;
LMG stock bullet strip code:1-5-1-3 ?
LMG stock white label: . . _ . = F ?
LMG stock white label: AAИ = 118?
SMG body: 118
AK blue engraving: 2.75 3.26 ?
i'm thinking about them as astronomical units because the angstrom (Å) was used as "a.u."
Incredible job with decoding the numbers, they were so hard to see
that explains why i couldn't find it
haha i was following your correction
That's great!
Damn, Rob must be proud. Almost everything has been decoded
AMAZiNG.!
i was reading the pinned msg because it was easier to keep up with Discord mgs
2.71 or 2.72?
oh, maybe it is 2.75
oh! missed that lol
yeah i think this is conclusive 2.75-3.26 eV
I think Angstrom might be the answer here
A.A. is Anders Angstrom
10e-10 is an Angstrom unit
Dark Side of the Moon --> Prism --> Spectography --> A.A.
Coordinates lead to Angstrom crater
118 and 460 are all that remain
282 debunked unless was a future clue for this
i remember Duh had used AAИ as tap code and then translated that to Hex
118 could just be a side clue, like Yakuza A was for the last Tier
or just a side clue, ye
Certainly, pointing us to the Pink Floyd hidden message was a nice bit of "scenery" along the path
I still think yakuza was too much of a coincidence
I was out for the whole Yakuza A thing
I'll read up on that
he had to change the clue to deviate us back
Yeah, I think he wanted to point out both to us
and the 27 to alphabet didnt really fit
Kurosawa did have the Beethoven link afterall
will have to see if they ever confirm
I mean Beethoven has a Jesus reach, in the sense that they can connect to things in every corner of our board
The tap code for AAИ (11.11.23) translated to hex resulted in this very deep blue/black color. So I don't think that is correct. As all signs are pointing us to violet, or rather ultraviolet
Yeah, but good to have those there - it is "possible" to solve from the first clue
iirc 1869 also has a strong Beethoven connection

"in 1868 he published his great map of the normal solar spectrum in Recherches sur le spectre solaire"
maybe the 1869 is a mistake
It can't be too strong, as he was dead hehe
ah right, hadn't thought of that 🤣
but yeah, Claire de Lune == 1869
(the poem, not the song itself)
In 1869 he published Spectrum of the Sun:Atlas
oh
as in we read it wrong?
right, we're all done then eh?
link please
I can only find the source to the 1869 connection in swedish
weird
perchance in school Swedish were taught 1869 and thats why the clue is that ><

IF thats the same book
it says 1868 inside
So here's the text I find in Swedish. The site isn't all that credible, as it doesn't list sources, but it seems like it tries to be honest at least 🤷
*In 1868, Angström published the results of five years of research in the form of a book in French entitled Recherches sur le spectre solaire, Specter normal du soleil, in which he described his measuring instruments and his methods for calculating wavelengths. To analyze the light, he had a spectrometer and three gratings with 220, 132 and 88 lines per millimeter. Grid with 132 lines
In his book, Angström lists the wavelengths of more than 1000 Fraunhofer lines and for some of them their origins. He included an atlas in which the spectrum from 4000 to 7000 Angstroms (drawn by Robert Thalén) was graphically represented in 12 segments on 6 plates. This atlas was published separately in 1869 under the title** Normal Spectrum of the Sun: Atlas**, containing the wavelengths of the lines indicated in 1*
Maybe it is pointing to this instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Around_the_Moon
Around the Moon (French: Autour de la Lune, 1869), also translated as Circling the Moon and All Around the Moon, is the sequel to Jules Verne's 1865 novel, From the Earth to the Moon. It is a science fiction tale which continues the trip to the Moon that was only begun in the first novel. Later English editions sometimes combined the two under t...
The cistercian number is without a doubt 1869, the 8s aren't a closed squared in the top right.
thank you ❤️
also very likely
Maybe it was a reprint
No, the atlas part is a separate book. Where was the first is just his research, as far as I understand it
they covered the page
gonna iterate that this is the first appearance of a satellite
cant see the date 😦
Research paper published in 1868, Atlas published 1869
There was a total solar eclipse in 1869 too
I would say that whether the year is correct for Anders Ångström, it seems to be the moon / satellites / visible spectrum that is the main leads
and dont forget after the Luna 3 mission they created the atlas of the far side of the moon
just waiting the serpenger to reveal the password now
From the 1869 eclipse: Spectroscopic work by Harkness and Young resulted in the discovery of a new coronal line, K1474. For a time, observers believed it was from a new element that they named coronium; it would be another 70 years before the K1474 line was correctly attributed to highly ionized iron at over 1 million kelvins.
haha yeah 😂
Serpenger is a master of cracking the code
need fresh eyes haha
Somewhere around 3am he will be here and just "ooh, I just threw A and B together and the password was C"
exactly
btw ATLAS is an experiment

A renowned scene-stealer! 
Å
Yeah, i think that's the clue
But not even for me, as a native swede, was that apparent
we may have to be even more literal next time
I mean idk what the A charm is referring to
A
I mean the top right kinda looks like an A too
powerline
here is A #2
unless I'm going crazy
If you wonder how the Å sounds, it's just like the O in Orgasm.

Αβδηρος = Abderos
Άβδηρος
Only english here
my website is broken
🤭
Abdiros was the son of the ancient god Hermes and a friend of the hero of Greek mythology Heracles . He assisted Heracles in one of the twelve labors which was the capture of the wild horses of Diomedes who fed on human flesh. In the attempt to help Heracles, he met a tragic death from Diomedes's wild horses which devoured him. In order to honor his friend, Hercules gave a magnificent burial and built the city of Abdira at the place of his death .
Things didn't work out so great for Abdiros
on here you see the A has Ά
Well he got a place named after him atleast
Yeah, it has a thingy in his name as well
Now the site of a horse food factory

so the droopy n is an 'e'
yep
This is the page that i landed on when i first "decoded" it https://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Άβδηρος

horsefood is not the password...
Time for bed, nite nite. Praying for serpenger to swipe the password during my sleep

Night! We'll try to beat him!
Godspeed!
"...left them in the care of Abderus. However, while Heracles was away, the horses devoured Abderus.[2][7] In revenge, Heracles fed Diomedes alive to his own mares. Heracles founded the city of Abdera near Abderus's tomb, where agones (Greek: ἀγῶνες), athletic games consisting of boxing, pancratium and wrestling were held in his honor (but chariot races were banned in respect of how he died)."

It's just a site that acts as a middleman between the password prompt and us, it records all the passwords you send in a database, tries them against the site and syncs them between clients. If you find the correct password you get notified. Nothing fancy but i feel like it might be useful for the hunt. Again, i'm only making it public if i manage to get approval
This would be very useful! I forget to note them down
