(though he did say at some point that clues from previous tiers could help with next ones? could be that the violet/spectrography stuff hasn't come into play yet)

Don't let Rob see this or he'll change his strategy 😅

hmmm I don't even wanna ask what the other connotation is 😂

vital cove
#

I'm not gonna say it

#

I really want to, though

tawdry jungle
#

please don't

vital cove
#

Actually I'm probably thinking of a different connotation

#

Not going to say that one either

#

It's just a very unfortunate pun

neon stream
#

I feel lost 😂

tawdry jungle
#

anyway

I vote for code crackers

Excuse me can we not say racial slurs please

Yes, we can tell you do

easter egg in latin then converted to binary? KEKW

fallen jasper
#

Venatores is Latin for Hunters so

slender lodge
#

new comer comes in and asks "so what name do the hunters go by?" and then we just hand em an easter egg that when solved reveals the name

#

I can't with you people

tawdry jungle
#

it really does translate to easter egg KEKW

fallen jasper
#

Yeah

mortal ivy
#

Of course it does, would never do anything harmful in binary 🫡

i just had a really weird visual thought in my head where i saw Rob eating a raw egg everytime we solve a tier

#

I took a drink of water and re-read Swa's message and almost died laughing

#

Thanks

slender lodge

habhahahh

#

i mean its not bad tho

#

good protein eh

vital cove
#

You know what else has good protein?

solar glade

say it

neon stream

We need the EE, this chat gets weird without them 😂

solar glade

it becomes less inch RESTing

#

but i like it

slender lodge

I don't get it ;-;

Unless.. it's loosely related to multiple men swimming in a large body of salty water

Oh boy

... ._. EEs please

slender lodge

#

Rob: rest
me not having contributed in the last week: don't mind if i do

mortal ivy
#

we are resting, by resetting our brains

vital cove
#

No need to eat it raw you muppet

sharp flame
#

Well there are always some clues that we haven't connected

vital cove
mortal ivy
#

Yeah, we are dumping all of our ideas, combining clues to the answer etc in order to fully close T1-C behind us and move on with a smooth brain

vital cove
#

Smooth brain?

sharp flame
#

which should be 10x easier now that we have the answer

vital cove
#

Son we are going to need all the wrinkles we can get

sharp flame
vital cove
#

That's where all the smarty parts are

sharp flame
#

wrinkles are for old people 🧠 we need to be as smooth as possible

spherical brained, perhaps

honestly can't wait to see what they're going to come up with for D

slender lodge
sharp flame
#

despite the roadblocks, it feels awesome whenever we find connections

slender lodge
#

i wonder if iseult will be continued or if we'll get another sponsor

#

like holtow

sharp flame
#

I will say in terms of timing, this one wasn't longer than B

#

I don't think

mortal ivy
#

I'm hoping for volpox or vaiiya

sharp flame
#

and the solution definitely wasn't as "easy"

mortal ivy
#

or whatever the fox one was called haha

sharp flame
#

C was a logical conclusion of all the clues and I admire trying to string all the clues together behind the scenes to not make it obvious but also satisfying and interconnecting

mortal ivy
sharp flame
#

Logo with the pointy ears

mortal ivy
#

But thinking about it, we are probably getting IO/10/25/52 as it was announced way earlier than Holtow or the other logos

sharp flame
#

also idk about you guys but I learned a lot of interesting facts in these

#

my brain is flowing with trivia

slender lodge
sharp flame
#

Would be really cool if the new sponsor was revealed in the EE hunt

#

and honestly it would be really funny if we got an answer within the first image

#

For C it seems impossible

#

but I'm gonna revisit that

#

we have 15 'first images' left in Level 2

#

so plenty of tries

timid solstice
#

f block is 28 elements, so we might have stumbled on the answer

#

linked that there was one named after mendeleev

sharp flame
#

Putting in electron configurations is something nobody woulda guessed though

timid solstice
#

unless thats a clue on the bullet strip

sharp flame
#

There's definitely at least a single clue we missed in the first image

#

I mean Rob said a while back that some of these are just references to other works

neon stream
#

I guess we could have tried, but I got the idea from the last image. And I'm guessing Rikta and Duh did too 😅

slender lodge
#

imagine next tier we find the answer in the first 24h

#

rob and the artists: sike sike sike sike sike sike

neon stream
#

We just wait until we get the four images and NamaTama

#

It's a negotiation strategy

#

"Ok Rob, you want the answer? we want concept art and NamaTama images"

sharp flame
#

I'm sure they would still release the second image

#

but I think the 4th etc. might not even be in production at that point

#

or maybe they have a folder with all 125 images waiting to be released

slender lodge
#

bahahah yesss

G’morning!

:/ I won't be able to participate for another month because if I do, I'm gonna get really invested and spend way too much time on the hunt and my exams are exactly 1 month away so I think I'ma just shut down discord for a month for good so there are less things on my mind. Cya in 1 month TPwave Wish me luck because I'm on the verge of failing 2 of 5 courses bahhahaha A_scared

Good luck

#

Does this mean we can bully him if he comes back in the next month

neon stream
#

I would usually advocate against bullying, but in this case it would be justifiable, he has focus on those courses 😛

slender lodge
#

ayoooo 😂

#

thank you guys ❤️ cya in a bit

tranquil ivy

Have we gotten a new image yet?

hidden nacelle
#

no

tranquil ivy
#

Awwww oh well, hope we get one soon :)

pure loom
vital cove

he also said this

sharp flame

I wouldn't mind a little break. But also super excited to see what's in the next image

Oh, wait… that’s footage of me trying to solve the Easter Eggs. My mistake.

tawdry jungle
#

ayy good job though!

sharp flame
#

Image!

#

nevermind

#

WAIT

#

It's a gif?

#

It glitches

#

Can't do it rn

#

new stage hype 🙏🙏

vital cove
#

where was this posted?

#

these are the frames of the glitch

#

(probably nothing here but you never know)

sharp flame
sharp flame
#

also, was this there on the last few levels? I never really caught the first few hours. maybe this is a regular thing?

vital cove
#

but where is this image coming from?

#

am i stupid

sharp flame
#

also I checked and it wasn't like this a few hours ago

#

they might do it in a bit

#

or maybe this doesn't really count as art haha

#

weird aspect ratio, very specific

vital cove
sharp flame
#

well you have to put in the password

#

duh

vital cove
#

but we already --

#

ok

#

i am stupid

sharp flame
#

lmaoo

tawdry jungle
#

were the passwords posted here?

#

I can pin them for any newcomers

sharp flame
tawdry jungle
sharp flame
#

the website tells you but yeah can help

vital cove
#

might be a good idea if someone makes like a "recap comment" with the answer for every tier and the primary clues and they can go back and edit it every time a new tier is completed so the pin stays up to date

tawdry jungle
#

I think we had one of those

vital cove
#

but that's more comprehensive than I'm thinking of

sharp flame
#

Flex 🙏

#

afaik 1500x844 is a really strange aspect ratio (but still used)

tawdry jungle
#

found it

vital cove
#

oh based

sharp flame
#

I've been looking at the frames a bit

vital cove
#

it just looks exactly like a distortion of the existing text and other image elements to me 🤷‍♀️

#

but i am not so good at the whole image analysis thing

sharp flame
#

yeah same, I don't really see anything clue-y so far

#

but Rob did joke that it was gonna be harder so 🤷‍♂️

vital cove
#

nothing intersting in the exif data as far as I can tell

sharp flame
#

yeah its just 16:9 ratio so nothing too special

#

okay I'm not sure if we should be treating this like a clue or not

vital cove
#

I think because the exif data doesn't have a message from Rob

#

We can probably forget about it

sharp flame
#

well idk about that

#

it has an Embark stamp on it and everything

#

and it's a gif on purpose

timid solstice
#

morning Egg-stars, seems like a preload

#

The Level 2 loading was also a gif

sharp flame
#

what was the gif?

timid solstice
#

Loading . . .

sharp flame
#

okay well that was a bit more obvious

#

this literally says 'image not found'

timid solstice
#

yeah its more like artwork with the watermarks too

sharp flame
#

also I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this for the last 3

sharp flame
#

it's just that there isn't much to scoop out of this image

#

the Font, maybe

#

Origin of the 404 message... maybe?

#

The aspect ratio seems like a stretch

vital cove
#

The Myth
There’s a cute myth floating out in the interwebs that these HTTP codes were originally based on the physical layout of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research where the World Wide Web was first conceived as a database to help physicists share their findings. According to this 404 origin tale, HTTP codes were based on the different functions of physical offices at CERN, with Room 404 housing the system’s central database. Any request for a file was routed to that office where a few human staffers would manually find the file and transfer it over the network to the person who requested it. If the requested document couldn’t be located, the communicative office attendants would answer the request with “Room 404: file not found.” Allegedly this error response was later shortened when the system was automated, but continues to refer to Room 404 to this day.

sharp flame
#

the regular 404 page, (almost certainly not important but still)

quiet gale
#

Why game is come next year

vital cove
#

Game not finished

sharp flame
#

and this only appears when there's an image for us right

timid solstice
#

so far yes

sharp flame
#

I.. think this is the next tier?

vital cove
#

Goddamnit

#

Also Discord light mode is cursed

sharp flame
#

yes, it's also harder to distinguish from work-related stuff

vital cove
#

404 is a type of classic car battery? 😂

sharp flame
timid solstice
sharp flame
#

idk if .! was always there

sharp flame
#

Level 2 is The Promise

#

and .! is a rob thing

#

not sure if .! was always there though

vital cove
#

Ooooh

sharp flame
vital cove
#

That can't be a coincidence, right

sharp flame
#

either this is the clue, or I'm wasting time until the real clue comes out

#

win win

timid solstice
#

its been there since before geocache, this was mentioned when level 2 loaded

sharp flame
#

👍

vital cove
#

So it can be

#

😩

sharp flame
#

anyway just thought it was interesting that Rob was the one that wrote that line

timid solstice
#

good point

sharp flame
#

I mean this page was written already, but maybe Rob wanted us to look at it for this tier?

#

there really isn't a lot to look at haha

vital cove
vital cove
# sharp flame

the only thing I can think of: in these messages, the only one that rob ends with .! is the second, of which the last word is "request"

#

404 is an error message in response to a "request" from a user

solar glade
#

i don't see anything when applying filters. dimensions and frames are the only thing that could point, in any case, to something

#

first frame is 10s, the rest are 0

sharp flame
#

It's just that it's in the exact format of a clue image

#

And it's framed

#

and it's exactly where a clue should be

#

and the X is lit

boreal trench
#

maybe this is meant to be the break? a rest from the regular format?

sharp flame
#

that would be nice

#

either way this is super interesting

#

He definitely knew

#

100%

hidden nacelle
#

yous are looking way to deep into this

sharp flame
#

but also can't hurt to look

hidden nacelle
#

we have to wait for new image imo

sharp flame
#

also I swear 404 is for webpages, not images

vital cove
sharp flame
#

The gif is really regular

#

the font is the regular Finals one

vital cove
#

?

sharp flame
#

accidental reply nvm

vital cove
#

oh lmao

sharp flame
#

if it's still there tomorrow I think we might have to look into it

#

based on these last stages,
I've learned that I should really trust my gut more

vital cove
#

Idk what there really is to look into xD I even spent 15 minutes pouring through inspect element on the 404 page but did not see anything

#

Been through all that, I feel like we need at least one 'clue' clue before we can start to connect things

#

but still, every time I revisit the page it looks like it should be a clue

#

proud minnow
#

@cedar owl hmm, maybe this first clue was too tricky or perhaps our dear EE-friends just need some more time to relax… hopefully they are ready tomorrow, what do you think.?

vital cove
#

So it is a clue!

#

Justice for @sharp flame

sharp flame
#

YESSSS

#

I knew it

#

gotta trust my gut more

fallen jasper
#

Wait what was the clue

sharp flame
#

Go to the 1-c page

fallen jasper
#

Ay

#

Its the room of my computer class in highschool

tulip matrix
#

Press kit was updated on monday lol
Totally missed it

fallen jasper
#

Is the gif glitching out or are my tears making it move

sharp flame
#

it's glitching out yeah

fallen jasper
sharp flame
#

a few people posted all the frames of the gif in the chat

#

Nothing of note, yet

vital cove
#

We haven't recognized anything in it that could be a clue, though

sharp flame
#

but there really has to be something

#

maybe brightening the background in one of the frames

vital cove
#

Error 404 points to the site's own 404 page

bright gull
#

A big rock like a large stone and its really smooth

vital cove
#

Which has a message that ends with "promise.!" featuring Rob's signature dot exclamation mark

#

But we haven't figured out anything from that either

sharp flame
#

Error 404 is used in web links which can't open because the word doesn't match the webpage

fallen jasper
sharp flame
#

ayy

fallen jasper
#

That is spectacular

sharp flame
#

now comes the hard part

#

figuring out this clue

#

I mean Rob's referring to it as a single clue

vital cove
#

I think perhaps the idea is that the first artwork image is hidden on the site behind a different URL this time

sharp flame
#

The 404 page could be a good start

#

but if not that perhaps another page

vital cove
#

So it's "not found" because we have to find the right URL

fallen jasper
#

This got me thinking what the Arc Raiders 404 page is

#

It's a lot less cute~

sharp flame
#

If this is a clue there has to be something hidden in that glitch

#

guys, found something

#

I think

#

this image

vital cove
#

oh I noticed that before

#

but didn't think anything of it

sharp flame
#

..?

vital cove
#

where is that?

sharp flame
#

on the frown

vital cove
#

in his mouth?

sharp flame
#

oh

vital cove
#

oh there it is

#

that's gotta be something

sharp flame
#

similar?

vital cove
#

braille?

sharp flame
#

okay I may have cropped it unfairly

#

it's not an exact match

vital cove
sharp flame
#

but the file name is 404 update

vital cove
#

higher res screencap from the dots in the 404 namatama image

neon stream
sharp flame
#

so I'm wondering if this is an updated version of something we knew

vital cove
sharp flame
vital cove
#

hmmm not really

sharp flame
#

not a perfect match

#

and it has too little dots

fallen jasper
#

bro

#

there is no way that has been on namatama this entire time

sharp flame
vital cove
#

all 88 constellations

sharp flame
#

they coulda replaced the old one

#

is there any way to look at the metadata for this?

vital cove
#

the exif data?

#

I did, wasn't anything there IIRC

fallen jasper
sharp flame
#

I mean they coulda replaced it since then

fallen jasper
#

I swear to God it's been on there since the beginning

neon stream
#

Here's the old one, in case they replaced it

fallen jasper
#

Darnoux I downloaded this a couple of days after the reveal

sharp flame
#

so it was called update back then?

fallen jasper
vital cove
#

ok so it has been on there since october

#

at least

fallen jasper
#

It's been there from the start

vital cove
#

I mean...

#

no reason it can't have been planned as a clue from the start

sharp flame
#

I'm gonna explore it anyway

fallen jasper
#

I know

vital cove
#

but yeha

#

still

#

good to know

sharp flame
#

Cause rob can defo do this

fallen jasper
#

I'm just saying it wasn't added recently lol

sharp flame
#

He literally wrote the text that goes with the image

#

and we thought it was a clue before

#

maybe it just wasn't time

vital cove
#

anyway there's nothing in the exif info

#

if I upload the other artwork images onto this site then the layer data messages are listed

#

I'm afraid it could also just be artifacting. look right above

#

the dark dots look more intentional but there's artifact dotting right above

fallen jasper
#

Yeah they're all over the place

sharp flame
#

yeah they are

#

but there's at least one clue somewhere

#

and that means we're missing it

#

I believe 100% that this is a nod btw

#

from Rob

#

the punctuation ' .! ' is found nowhere else on the site

#

and the word promise is intentional for sure

#

I'm like 80% certain on that part

#

after zooming around the whole image, this is seems like the most intentional thing there

#

and even that I'm not sure about

fallen jasper
#

It's Embark telling me I both need and don't need to download every Nama Tama image released.

vital cove
#

no

vital cove
#

but no dice

sharp flame
#

I mean I absolutely love this kind of stage

#

cause once you find it, you find it

#

no rabbit holes or anything yet

#

I mean maybe this one just leads straight to the password

#

?????

#

found it

#

frame 4

#

idk

#

checking frame 3 now

vital cove
#

oh SHIT

sharp flame
#

shoulda done this before lmao

vital cove
#

why didn't I see that???

sharp flame
#

white background, just lower the brightness

vital cove
#

I zoomed in all over the place

sharp flame
#

by 250% at least

vital cove
#

see I said I wasn't good at the image analysis stuff

#

good job @sharp flame

sharp flame
#

frame 3

vital cove
#

holy shit let's go

sharp flame

#

doing it backwards lol

#

3 2 5

sharp flame
#

nothing for image 1

vital cove
#

having some specs on my screen is proving to be really annoying now

#

325 is not a website url or the passcode

sharp flame
#

3 2 5 spaced evenly like that

vital cove
#

nope

sharp flame
#

first easter

vital cove
#

325 is not a html status code

sharp flame

"Its main accomplishments were settlement of the Christological issue of the divine nature of God the Son and his relationship to God the Father,[2] the construction of the first part of the Nicene Creed, mandating uniform observance of the date of Easter,[6] and promulgation of early canon law."

easter == eggs

I think this may be where previous clues come into play...?

I'll be honest I've been pulling the cart for quite a bit

gonna take a break for a bit

for anyone who wants to continue:
3 2 5 were found in separate frames of the 404 gif, that's about it

i didn't play with levels, so that's why i didn't notice them

There are various orders of the BE, including Commander.

Not the exact one but pretty close!

#

It could be someone else with a CBE

#

Warning: There are lots.

sharp flame
#

I really wonder if Rob's statement about being able to solve it from the first image still holds true

#

it seems like we'd need at least one more clue

solar glade
#

at least to tie it forward, or with previous tiers

sharp flame
#

Ok 🤔 Guess I’ll have to look at it later

325 could also be March 25

vital cove
#

probably unrelated but 325 BC is the birth year of Euclid, "the father of geometry", who wrote an important early central text in the field of optics (called Optics) and the glitch in the 404 gif is an optical geometric one

and we find the 325 number in the glitched frames

his birth is listed

Year 325 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Camillus and Scaeva (or, less frequently, year 429 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 325 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for n...

he is assumed to have been active around 300BC

'Euclid's birthdate is unknown; some scholars estimate around 330 or 325 BC but other sources avoid speculating a date entirely.'

I think Euclid might be a solid lead

#

Euclid is considered the 'father of geometry'

#

in the same way that Democritus was the father of atomic theory

so it's totally possible

We also had that angle in the last clue which didn’t really relate to anything

the violet/spectroscopy one?

Could be a crossover

crossover is very possible

Angstrom as the founder of spectroscopy was at least tangentially related because he had a crater named after him on the moon, same as Mendeleev. but yeah the actual spectroscopy part never played a role

What were Euclidean Axioms?
Here are the seven axioms are given by Euclid for geometry.

  1. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
  2. If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.
  3. If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
  4. Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.
  5. The whole is greater than the part.
  6. Things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.
  7. Things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another

not sure if this is from compression blending frames or if it's intentional

Also the "glitch" in the gif occurs every 10 seconds

just trying to extract as much information from this as possible

Maybe we need to put in a different version of the answer?

Have we just tried putting in 325 as the password instead?

I thought the separation of digits might mean we difference each digit individually

one of these 2 is definitely it

but I'm really not sure how we can derive an answer without using other information

treating this as a self-contained one would be impossible

Maybe we’ll spot “404” amongst either path to confirm something. Or something similar.

sharp flame

hmm, maybe

perhaps there's at least one clue for us to still find

pure loom
#

Euclid’s wiki says the word Euclid can mean “a copy of the same” - perhaps we should repeat the original password (like write it twice) or mirror it or something like that.

Presumably some different password takes us to a result that isn’t the 404

sharp flame

directly translates to "renowned/glorious"

but the copy thing seems like it would lead to more places

Historically, astrological and astronomical symbols overlapped. Frequently used symbols include signs of the zodiac and classical planets. These originate from medieval Byzantine codices. Their current form is a product of the European Renaissance. Other symbols for astrological aspects are used in various astrological traditions.
