Was looking more into the WR-VM connection and popped out with the TIT(I)AN connection as well
Or I might be mixed up
just trying to remember the Vega connection
unless ya mean Sega lol
That was Sega Saturn, no?
swag š saturn
Ha sorry yeah no idea what my brain is connecting
Was vega from the train north comment
Woah
Something about taking the train up north to see the ādiamond starā, yes
Canāt find the mention I saw a month or two ago, but it was mostly about how the white rabbit/hare symbolizes Maryās virginity and innocence and is sometimes conflated with her directly in symbolism. This page mentions something akin to that, but not exactly that
It can connect through lots of places though. Possibly just the WR points to The Matrix points to pills points to pill shaped etc etc. also the obvious easter connection (search: Virgin Mary Red Eggs).
The matrix is full of Christian symbolism and parallels between Jesus Christ and NEO as well - which could again be looked at as Near Earth Object and boom WIZARDED weāre back to orbits again.
Yeah, I say āboom, WIZARDEDā now. It is a duty that has befallen me as the in-house thaumaturgist.

You know the beta is over when you see Rob awake at 2 in the morning š
Ohh
Hihi
Rob
Iām on my phone so didnāt see it right away
Waitaminute⦠maybe it is a star related URL? Think about it; how many ways can we actually connect it to oviform? 2 already seems like a stretch. If it pointed to a URL the story would be different thoughā¦
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_Star okay, this rabbit hole might be deeper than I exceptedā¦
Morning Star, morning star, or Morningstar may refer to:
Or perhaps there is a time related VM we havenāt found yet? Second doesnāt necessarily mean ā2ndāā¦
what's VM
That's the question
virgin mary?
it was a clue
ahhhh
just VM
Previous
Van Morrison was one confirmed meaning. Virgin Mary seems to have been another, but didnāt lead anywhere, which is one of the reasons I mentioned Robās comment might pointing in a time direction. I have no clue though, but whoever finds the connection will get sent a āunique the Finals giftā by Rob
As seen in this message here: #easter-eggs message
Letās get it before the next tier kicks off! š½
Yeah
RHB found the second meaning of VM, so that's referring to Van Morrison
Link to the OG message: #easter-eggs message
RHB was the one who found Virgin Mary Iām pretty sure
VM and 0vif0rm 
As the second meaning
There are some obvious connections, but Rob hasnāt responded to those, so Red Egg/Easter does not seem to be the connection
Nor seemingly does White Rabbits/Hares
V and M are the first and last letters, give me my unique gift! /s
vm.57 - Virgin Mary 57 ad
So funny seeing these types of comments after itās solved
Rob did all caps the SECOND part in that message there. Why Iām reading into that a bit more and thinking itās not meant as ā2ndā but rather second as in time. Iām just speculating of course. Trying to spur some grays of yours to start kicking up solutions to this.
We went SO FAR with it too
Months of work
Yup, ima rest up until 27th
Butā¦. VM 57ā¦.
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
One other thing that VM could mean is virtual memory
But I can't find any 57 relating to that
Or virtual machine
But that's intruiging because the finals is virtual
The atlas supercomputer was in development in 1957
The Tiger Skin for the V95 had a different inspect animation
so sexy
I founded the biggest Easter egg that is game breaking⦠but I am gate keeping it
I also have all the answers, but I asked them to reset the website because it wouldn't be fun otherwise.
I think VM most likely means Virgin Mary, and that we need to connect; or VM somehow relating to seconds. Just basing this off Robās response to RHB Virgin Mary call.
just re-joined the hunt for a bit of fun tonight, had a go at trying to find some connections between VM and oviform:
- Jehovah's Witnesses say that:
āSince actual conception took place, it appears that Jehovah God caused an ovum or egg in Maryās womb to become fertile, accomplishing this by the transfer of the life of his first born son (Michael) from the spirit realm to the earthā - Ovums are produced by Ovaries, which there are two of, and are also egg shaped.
- the password 0vif0rm has two 0s which
Did anyone try to find anything on the "ThanksForPlayingBeta_E_1080p.mp4" video? The "...from Embark with love.!" Sounds like the meta data from the EE images š¤
E?
That would make lottas sense
It does...
I reckon odds are there is at least one hidden message
They wouldn't pass up this opportunity š
The video loops. Can that overlapping Photoshop magic that revealed the griffin be done with that? š¤
they do show off a lot of new clothing in that video
Something like overlapping those frames
Is there morse in the lights on the building in the back
(Not those exact frames, but where it actually repeats, which is not there, but almost there š )
overlap and then put the top layer in Difference opacity
That! Can it be done with the video? I guess it can, right?š¤
The only thing I know about Photoshop is that you buy it from Adobe š
you just need to extract the frame
or just do the same in video editing software
It loops three times, so I guess one could create a video with the difference of all 3, right? Maybe the combination of the different overlapping frames reveal different things š¤
(Can you overlap 3 images and still get results? Or it only works with 2? I don't see why it wouldn't work with 3š¤)
Could work with 3 but if ur using blend modes, order may matter
I guess that makes sense, since a difference is a subtraction, and a subtraction is not commutative š¤
Yep!
While we are waiting for the countdown, there is analysis being done on the Embark farewell - mp4
awesome clip compilation by the way!
Ok, cool. I thought it looked glitchy in the upper right
Thanks!
Hi there dear EE-hunters.!
Finally itās weekend, donāt forget to get some rest nowā¦

no
i want to start hunting now!
OHH⦠really..?
yes!
I thought you might say thatā¦
ā¦therefore I actually DID hide a couple of things in some of the assets I uploaded during your vacationā¦
š
ā¦so if you are bored and canāt really wait until Monday⦠there is one diamond and a primary clue out there, waiting to be foundā¦
NOO
That's 2-3 weeks of time
What assets did Rob put out?
He seems genuine about the brand guide being empty
Maybe those?
Oh, they are on #official-art too š
It has to be those.. right?
I guess it did on February 22, when Resk found the solution for the previous tier
hmm, then this could be an asset too that he's referrign to
these were also posted after 22nd feb
Looks like a thumbnail for one of The Script songs š
Yes, there is nothing in "THE FINALS - Brand Guide".
Could you rephrase this to "Yes, there are no clues in 'THE FINALS - Brand Guide' "? so we don't read too much into ā = nothing? š
Fish-proof the sentence
I think
therefore you are
Haha, OK there are no clues or anything hidden in any of the files in THE FINALS - Brand Guide... if there is then these assets has also been released here...
Perfect! that works for me! Thanks! š
same heavy, striking the same pose pictured from slightly different angles. Spot the difference maybe?
That heavy is Rob š¤
The 426 on the screen could mean something.. might've been in-game though
Unless you are supposed to combine it with the 1 on the left
to make 1426
They got the poses when they caught Rob playing Dance Dance Revolution⢠in the office.
yes, we took a couple of these screens, and I used different ones for the yellow background and the screenshot... ._.
iirc 426 was in game, but I'll have to check with my seoul recordings
Yes, I'm quite sure it was in game
You can see 436 in SPEAR's video

Love the gradient in that thumbnail
SPEARs videos are great
My mind trying to figure out these EEs is "subtitulos en EspaƱol" as well
Hmm
If we don't find anything else we can always fall back on checking that 426 again
¿Dónde estÔ la biblioteca?
Are there any images that are both in the Brand Guide and uploaded here? The way Rob wrote that makes me think that there might be clues hidden on those š¤
Down the hall and to the left - š
hi 
HI
bonjour
real
real as the meatspace can get
I guess that image fits that
Were the smokes uploaded here as well? š¤
i know that video
if you see a different thumbnail is because i update them sometimes
I recommend you to sub to that channel
carry on, i'm adding Spanish subtitles to the previous ones
QuƩ bueno!
whats with this mask this guys wearing
#easter-eggs message what assets is rob talking about?
everything from the 22nd feb onwards
reminiscent of Rorschach from Watchmen
I think theres a 'corrupted' message from someone called - KN

WOAH
how did we miss this
Was this in the meta data?
Or is it just me being on my phone not being able to view it?
Also Star Wars? https://movie-sounds.org/sci-fi-movie-samples/quotes-with-sound-clips-from-star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope/your-eyes-can-deceive-you-don-t-trust-them just one possibility I guess..
Just seemed a fitting quote for what we do here
I checked the trio pic just never posted the text, for some reason forgot to check the yellow one
Yeah in the metadata, I tested 2 sites just incase there was an error from one
I checked all the wall papers and backgrounds last night too
Nothing in those
Also checked levels and channel layers, nothing jumped out
The other things that Rob uploaded were language fonts and .psbs of the official banner, I checked one of those files but might be too official to hide things in
Wait so this isn't true then
if the 'dont trust them' is to be believed
'There is nothing in this image, you are on vacation!' does seem a bit on the nose
haha
Perhaps robs character is KN ? And heās says dot trust the others.?
Could be, but the candy bonus 2 image metadata said the same apart from the hidden date
I might be a bit tired but that sentence was gibberish to me šš
well if one is not to be believed
then probably both are
it's just cause 'DONT TRUST THEM? - KN' is in the middle of an Embark message
every day it becomes more like an ARG lol
the ? is interesting
it seems like a reply to someone else
A : DON'T TRUST THEM - ___
B : DON'T TRUST THEM? - KN
aaaah nice. i didnāt check any image for metadata this time around ā this why we always need to do it 
this is more ARG style ā i like it
Im presuming this is not part of the tiered hunt
because we were told hints for the tiered will not be hidden in the metadata
Rob : "some of the assets I uploaded during your vacationā¦"
I've only seen the CBT Team 2, and the Yellow Heavy
perhaps the Ospuze ad
(the date t1-d was solved and we started vacation)
interesting that this comes up in a layer which isn't in the image
nor these, to be fair
(in this image)
same PSD file used for different artworks
but the thing is
is this by uploading the .psb to meta2go?
it's a jpg
ah ok. it probably is showing file history
it's in Keyart below 'adaptations'
it was showing layer names
ha no worries just checking im seeing the same files
but again
these files are just as accessible as the brand guide is
and Rob says that if there was anything in the brand guide he'd post the media here
so if there was anything in these backgrounds and jpegs
he would post them here too
even if we don't find anything...
can we record somewhere that there is a diamond and primary clue in the 3-4 #official-art images posted during beta holiday period?
like a little node on T1-E padlet
these look like the groups and info is still in the file even if they are hidden
**Diamond and a Primary clue to be found **
Rob reveals that there are things to be found while we were on EE-vacation after all;
ā¦therefore I actually DID hide a couple of things in some of the assets I uploaded during your vacationā¦
ā¦so if you are bored and canāt really wait until Monday⦠there is one diamond and a primary clue out there, waiting to be foundā¦

Hi EE-hunters.!
There is nothing hidden in this image, you are on vacation.! From Embark with love.!
There are assets uploaded to the press kit by Rob here, vacation was from Feb 22nd - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JSitnSqeidY81nIOYzSJEeoFUa3_zc1T
Images uploaded here while on EE vacation ā¬ļø
I wonder if the audio wave is infact something afterall
possibly...
would be a crazy find
a familiar shape appears

I included this image in the post due to the date uploaded
but I dont think more was added to it when it was also posted later in official art
iirc this image was part of the D hunt
we received it right before we solved it
what is going on in here
I scrolled down and see that you noted it haha
oh what
slowly but surely sorting all our clues out
I remember watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas towards the end of the last tier and noticing 3 scenes that appeared in succession actually had direct links to clues we were discussing (pills, the matrix, white rabbit and a zorro āZā). Pretty sure it was just a coincidence, but a pretty fun coincidence if nothing else.
I don't know if this was intentional or accident but there are two files of the same artwork
THE_FINALS_Concept_006_TakeCover_2880x1620.jpg
THE_FINALS_Concept_006_TakeCover.jpg
They have the same dimensions but have some other differences
theres no difference in the images, and the meta data says no clues. might be a mistake?
I think those are the two images used to get the pisa griffin image iirc
šš
I just had a double take reading that
Hahaha I just realized
But yeah makes sense. They probs left it there for anyone with curious eggy mind

woopsie
my phone a no speak a Italiano ok
piss griffin š
surely pissed us off after a while 
No it was the fire one that had the griffin , the second fire was only posted here

guys hear me out
im struggling mad, withdrawals eating me alive
so, i need yall to go ultra hardcore mode and decode all the secrets that embark hiding from us
bro i can't even do simple substraction
either way more brainpower is always good
feel free to chip in if you ever have an idea about how these clues could connect
my brain is equal to a squirrel (no offense to squirrels, they might even be smarter than me)
wise fish, thank you
This still looks so awesome..
@proud minnow minor complaint, many of the images have printing marks, but rarely have the right dpi settings for printing. I demand 300 dpi from here forth.
(Iām big brain, more dpi means higher detail)
haha... ._.
It will be too much pixels for you to investigate... it will take eons for you to process so highres images... ._.
(I'm actually just doing you a favor, and they are actually in 600DPI, they should just be printed small...)
Well well well⦠overestimating my ability to process anything
Haha okay..
I see 
I just had nothing to add to the EE and now people will think Iām smart eventhough I see it only makes it worse haha
I expect many extremely nicely printed posters on launch now Rob⦠
Not postcards
See, they are in 600DPI, haha
Omg.. that like two business cards ductapped together..
š
Iāll let it go.. try and enjoy your weekend 
which image is that from? I don't quite recognise that snippet...
I have a poster printer, you will not stop me printing it at 106cm x 81cm.
So does that mean you're printing posters for all of us? 
Future image šÆ
No š¦
23 hours ...
poster for me, yes??? hehehe
i found three numbers on the blue can image
these may be the ones we stumbled across, could you send a pic please?
idk, i just saw them and wondered if u guys did
iām talking to my friend who say the korean in the background of this photo
hehe yeah, I believe the image was posted with clues to help us finish Tier D
alr
what about it?
what tier r we at?
itās korean in the background. does it mean anything?
Tier 1E right?
Not sure, Rob says nothing is hidden in the Korean on the map
but this is an image so might not apply
Currently we are on T1-E
It starts in around 22 hours

Technically it has started already since Rob says one Primary clue is hidden in the last 3 #official-art images
so not including the blue can methinks
so well ive got a question xd is this side https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-d to find clues ? or is it just to wait for the cooldown ?
Its probably counting down to a new clue/theme
what happens when we finish all the easter eggs tiers?
something
.. we don't know yet š
Well, if you go back and read up on the last 3-4 months of the discord and figure out how Virgin Mary connects, Rob has promised loot to whomever sorts it out. It is possible someone figured it out already, but as far as I can tell we do not have confirmation. So due to lack of confirmation Iād say the connection is not to āred eggsā or āwhite haresā. So thatās one thing that happens if you figure out one connection to the previous tier. Other than that we do not know what happens when we solve all the tiers.
We never solved the meaning
āstella marisā was used as a name for the North Star, Polaris in the medieval period. The name āStella marisā was originally a title for Virgin Mary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady,_Star_of_the_Sea #easter-eggs message
Our Lady, Star of the Sea is an ancient title for the Virgin Mary. The words Star of the Sea are a translation of the Latin title Stella Maris.
The title has been in use since at least the early medieval period. Purportedly arising from a scribal error in a supposed etymology of the name Mary, it came to be seen as allegorical of Mary's role as...
As in star>orbit
Hey guys since i can now post here i wanted to take part of the hunt if its still going, is there a summary of whats has been found / done already?
Yes! there is!
Where Can i find it ? I went through bunch of stuff in pinned but im kinda lost
Welcome! I would take a look at the Doc. It's quite lengthy, but very detailed, and you can skip the parts that don't interest you
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/edit#
so this is a recap of what this is ^^
Ty guys ā¤ļø
I'm nearly done recapping C
This is great!
Haha I know, right? tysm @solar glade !
the '92+' ā”ļø 'Transuranic Elements' link was never put onto the padlet so I just put a suggestion for that
okay!
I've finished Tier 1 A B and C of my visual recap
I recommend viewing at this zoom level
I'm on mobile though š„¹
Get the Google docs app, works great on my end
Ooh okay, mind opened with some Chinese alternative cuz Xiaomi :)) but yeah docs works wonders
Hahaha
either way I hope this can work as another good way of easing ppl into the pool of clues and what they looked like
Bipitty Boopitty boopitty
looks good, perhaps add the 'connection explanation' for a and b too
definitely will do
and mention the piano sonata was 'op 79'
oh sorry you did previous image above
maybe just re-iterate
also add that the FKRAMER was a pigpen cypher
and the numbers '1869' were Cistercian numerals
just saying because fresh eyes might be like wtf
okay
gotcha. adjusting all of the T1B textboxes for readability too
okay! all done
I think this should be as deep as a shallow explanation can get
hey i just realized i can type in here now
is EE chat locked to only rising stars?
idk i just haven't looked in the chat until now
oh lol
You have been awarded with awesome power. The responsibility has befallen you to help us solve the remaining tiers.
š«”
it yeah was a few days after the closed beta announcement
Did we figure out the diamond star clue?
this one? #easter-eggs message
I thought that was Vega
but thinking about it and dustys " No, I'd have to take the train up north..." would be Polaris right?
The North Star?
might make more sense to be Vega though since vega is a blue-white color which is what most people think about when they think of diamond
I think we were trying to solve it, but never quite got all the way there.
Possible it was just āstarā>āorbitā connected though
Yup, why I brought it up here: #easter-eggs message but to be fair the link did get kind of masked by the wiki page link.
yeah I saw was kinda agreeing, and it fits nicely with VM
Uhhhh
So I searched āovate Virgin Maryā and you wonāt believe the shape she is connected to
It just popped out
I mean WHAT in the coinkidink?!
@pure loom what does our in-house vesica piscis expert think? As in vesica piscis-VM-Easter-eggs. Or VM-vesica piscis-circles/orbits etc.
The divine female passage that gives birth to life itself is flooded with light, a halo. This light represents the divine female wisdom, and gives the vulva a sense of sacredness and purity. It is also a fountain of youth in a sense, as this is were āwaterā is deposited (sperm) and comes forth a baby through the fountain, before the child passages through the āfishā the waters must break. Also urine passes out of the vulva, hence why it is a fountain and also a āfish bladderā. The āfons vitaeā is the fountain of life, or the fountain of youth. often linked to āaqua vitiaeā, the water of life.
https://tenor.com/view/what-um-huh-tf-steve-harvey-gif-8534536
What'd I miss... š
Yeah, it gets kind of weird, but if you saw what we went through last tier youād know that vesica piscis came up here and there, so when it randomly showed up here it surprised me good.
Just tinfoil hat activities
yeah ive been out of the easter eggs since like maybe 2 tiers ago, came back after the beta lol

buunuu found the level 2 page by solving the QR š
Its time!
huh?? mine still says 2h left
not for me

oh
resk is from the future
I'm 16 hours behind lol
Yeah!
thats why



Is this the same picture that was always there ?
yup
It has the date the vacation is over on the right side
and we were told in the meta data that is all thats there
ah yeah right
but Don't trust them?
lol
if the real count down is from their location, then theres still 11 hours left right?

13:37 pm is the time it should start
time in Sweden is 02:47 am
We just had Daylight savings and its confusing me
its based on UTC 0
its also odd that its set to 13:37.. why 37 mins specifically?
Leet (or "1337"), also known as eleet or leetspeak, is a system of modified spellings used primarily on the Internet. It often uses character replacements in ways that play on the similarity of their glyphs via reflection or other resemblance. Additionally, it modifies certain words based on a system of suffixes and alternate meanings. There ar...
oh right. still odd, unless theyre just memeing
its different for everyone?
There's no new picture yet so I guess everyone will get that at the same time.
Unless the clues are hidden in a new way
16h for me
Interesting link between the golden angle (137), 5f137s2 and 13:37 which can also be read as 1:37pm
wonder if intentional..
10000% imo
tho ig to be accurate enough it would have to be 1 oclock 37m 30s
Not really, if it's just the 137 that matters (if we take answer C as reference)
lol i was just kidding, just said it since golden angle is like 137.5 or smth degrees
wait so do some people have their countdown ending in a couple hours an others still have to wait till tmw?
I think there's a bug in the code making it adjust for timezones instead of just the time until.
I imagine if anything is gonna happen it's gonna be in the evening Swedish time.
Obligatory Turtle
wich showed chinese text and some parts translated to "follow the hexagram" and also "bp-floor7" wich is a water pump if googled. Also in the so called Ching hexagram, symbol 7 stands for water....
tin foil hat out
oh yeah that is strange
also some part translated to "orangutan water" , wich led me to the play "Water by the Spoonful" wich in wikipedia is = "The story is set in both the virtual and physical world in Philadelphia, Japan, and Puerto Rico. "
Yeah, I just looked at the code Flex posted of how the timer works, and I think that the problem is with how the constructor for JavaScript Date objects works. I think that when you just give it a string like Rob did, without any timezone, it interprets it as local time and just converts it to UTC+0. So then the difference is timezone-dependant, and that's why everyone gets different time left
(this is the code)
Poor rob :(
tbh, JavaScript shouldn't have such an ambiguous way of specifying a timezone date, you should only be allowed to use ISO, and problem solved š
Oh boy... I just looked it up, and it gets worse... those two dates are not equal (in most timezones š)
const date1 = new Date('2023-03-27T01:23:45');
const date2 = new Date('2023-03-27T01:23:45Z');
the Z is for Zulu time (UTC+0)...so that changes things too... so easy to get bugs with these minor things š
I see you took down the countdown Rob
Serpenger I'm supposed to the the tech support guy here not you 
He's multi-talented. Tech and password support
We passed the deadline SOMEWHERE in the world right, haha... ._.
This is obviously the most prominent lead
Let's goooo!
Can't find a silly text in the strings š¦
Browsing the bit planes (stegonline) make it seem like this is a QR code waiting to be put together?
Trueee
Never seen this pattern in any TF image before
The cubes are also visible with Luminance Gradient/Equalize Histogram in Forensically
Here's a clearer view of the txt.
Its in Swedish and reads:
**The postal code system is there to support the efficient distribution of postal items
423 00 - 423 63**
how did you managed that haha?
YOO that looks amazing!!
I think you're looking at a low res version
Oh yeah, damn it!
Rob always tricks me in official-art haha, it had added lowered resolution in the url
This is the high res image in bit plane instead, it has a code at the bottom
Also visible in LSB half mode, and there are some weird dots on the right upper end
Or in swedish "POSTNUMMERSYSTEMET ĆR TILL FĆR ATT STĆDJA EN EFFEKTIV DISTRIBUTION AV POSTFĆRSĆNDELSER. 423 00 - 423 63"

It has started. Damn
The zip codes:
42300: Torslanda, Gƶteborg, VƤstra Gƶtaland
42363 is Torslanda, Gƶteborg, VƤstra Gƶtaland
So we are looking around the Gothenburg airport? š¤
Rob had to repost it haha
I noticed a LITTLE in the image bug (THX Resk), so I updated the image (just to make sure that other NONE EE-Hunters will get confused, since they will wonder why there are so obvious zip-codes in there, haha) (that message is for you guys only and should be impossible for normal humans to find... ._.)
So we just have to remember that it's there
cause we'll never be able to see it again
haha
Limited time Easter egg
It's there... ._.
Now I'm intrigued! Are you meaning that the zipcode is a nod to Torslanda airport being a map in the game, and that it's not part of this tiers clues?
haha we're still on the airport hopetrain
Or was it too easy to see the text
The text was more or less just fillout text in swedish, the zipcodes on the other hand... ._.
The flag of netherlands?
Ah ok ā¤ļø
Well I was thinking that was more a double rainbow
It looks very much like a double rainbow
yeah definitely, with the second one fading a little
For anyone curious, this is the changes between the images
Double rainbow all the way across the sky, oh ah, omg so intense!
If it is, though, the colours are kinda not in the direction they should be
That is definitely a double rainbow. But indulge the color blind, the faded outer one is inverted right?
In this one they are the same direction, no inverted
but either way that's no reason to really dispel it
though maybe the clue could mean something other than double rainbow
Just so all are aware:
*What is a double rainbow?
A double rainbow is a wonderful sight where you get two spectacular natural displays for the price of one.
Surprisingly, this phenomenon is actually relatively common, especially at times when the sun is low in the sky such as in the early morning or late afternoon. The second rainbow is fainter and more 'pastel' in tone than the primary rainbow because more light escapes from two reflections compared to one.
The secondary rainbow is also dispersed over a wider area of the sky. It is nearly twice as wide as the primary bow.
A key feature of double rainbows is that the colour sequence in the second rainbow is reversed, so instead of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROYGBIV), the colours appear in VIBGYOR order.*
!!!
Now I gotta get back to work š
Oh what!
There's also a Grand Rainbow
Grand Rainbow
Supernumerary rainbows are thin, pastel-colored rainbows that sometimes appear beneath the inner arch of a primary rainbow. Some faint supernumeraries are visible in this rainbow over the Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States. Supernumeraries are the result of the complex interaction of light rays in an air mass with small, similarly sized water droplets.""

All the bold one's could be other similar numbers on the top half
All the # are just unreadable ones
Thank you very much Swa ā¤ļø
I wonder if there's a way to see them more clearly, as one or two of them are super hard to identify
I made one thats a bit cleaer.
Got almost same numbers as you!
FA3FF3CAA8D4591D2FIIFC8F08692129
You can tell the difference between Fs and Es
Fs have a shorter middle line
no?
I can see it when zooming in
Oh nice!

Hi there EE-Hunters.!
text_layer_text
Good luck have fun... from embark with love.!
That first ones an E, then an F, then an E
Yeah but what about different fonts hmm
they usually don't use capitals right
Also, most of the 0s are probably 9s, just by how early the loop closes
EE is always caps
Well if some of the Es and Fs are different in the font, then either way half of them are Es and the other are Fs
but it helps to know that there are only two ways it could be, shorter ones are Fs or longer ones are Fs
narrows it down to two permutations
yeah but it looks hard to identify some of them
Yep, it does
like you mentioned the first few they're clear enough
True, there's also this detailed i noticed on the font
I was just thinking about ways we could narrow it down
For sure!
so many unknown letters will not help
and even if we get a single digit wrong, the word should still be clear
The 8's vs 9's vs 0's is a bit easier to identify as the 0's should have the sides going straight, the eights seem to have a smaller top O than the bottom O, and the 9 is more or less instinct lol
tru tru
i though this was gonna be more liek a hex code rather than a word tho
since there have only been numbers and A-F
now obv this isn't leetcode or a direct character-to-letter translation
Spectroscopy? is this an example?
unless it is and I am dumb
ok cool half reading chat
We never did solve that last one...
Don't remind me-
1404E 
Maybe it's related to this one?
He did mention it would've been nearly impossible to solve the 1404E back then, maybe it was for now
Nice!
Nahh its probably more once we figure out one, the other ones will be easier to do too
pixel top left
FA3FF3CAA8D4591D3F11FC8E08692129 I think your 'II' are actually 11's
Yeah you're right!
nicee now it's just E<->F'ing haha
Im getting these
EA3FF3CAA8D4591D2F11EC8F08692129
FA3EE3CAA8D4591D2E11FC8E08692129
I think its a 2 at 4591D2
reflection on the zipline is sus
Heres the code in 1 and 0
100111111100000
101111111001001
ooh
and I dont think the lower line is flipped or is upside down
Just for the sake of recording this in the chat, they're mostly exactly 42px apart
I counted each pixel (I didn't)
we need to know what Cross, Plus and Upside down cross means
Do you think it's just a plus because of compression reasons? Since they're like <20px each
Or if it's intentional
its 3 symbols/characters
In your previous picture i see the crosses without zooming š¤
this one could be extruded more as pixels over below the rest so could be 4 symbols
Looks like something's written here

yeah theres 100% something there
Has anyone else noticed the code in the knit pattern of the characterās clothing?
where on the body? arm? torso?
on the sleeve?
i guess some dumb observations
Found the text
very nice presentation Swa
heres another view
Where was that? š
Looks like a grid reference maybe
are you using the image that was sent in this chat earlier? that one was more compressed than the original
This is from the full res one, it's blurry/noisy because im using noise analysis to get the text
Also, not at home. Sitting at work in my open landscape desk so can't find a better way to analyse it right now š¦
that looks great tbh
This is what im getting 37.1444. -4.9519|57.2182.-4.6180|4412
Yeah, looks like it. I'm a bit unsure about 3 or 4 digits but the other ones 100%
Iād go with 57.2187 on that part of it
im also getting 37.1444, -4.9519 | 57.2182, -4.6180 | 44 12
NOXEN
sorry I meant in the image hidden data messages
Here's a different version which makes it a bit clearer
ooh yes it's definitely 57.2182
Oh nice, that is very clear š
The full thing
lot of code/number stuff this tier already
also, so what would the full text look like?
there seem to be multiple coordinate points
Yes. I agree. Why would anyone think it ended with a 7? 
we just need to find out what this middle completed one is pointing at
and perhaps that first one
gl on the EE crew 
57.2182, -4.6180 is in scotland I think...
loch ness
uh.. if I yeet it in I get Achnaconeran Road, Invermoriston
slightly different view
wait why does it say.. hmm
new map? Maybe
yeah
ok so apparently the https://latitude.to/lat/57.21820/lng/-4.61800 map gives different names than the google maps
but its the same view give or take
Invermoriston (Inbhir Mhoireastain in Gaelic) (grid reference NH420167) is a small village 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Fort Augustus, Highland, Scotland. The village is on the A82 road, at a junction with the A887.The village's most visited attraction is the Thomas Telford bridge, built in 1813, which crosses the spectacular River Moriston ...
why does the view look like an EE image šæ
Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed the Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes)
Its so odd.. so the exact spot of the marker was a part of a forest but has been cut down
.>
!!!
where are you guys putting in these coordinates
I think it's just coordinates to the place...
like he did for Mendeleev and others
coordinates of the town where they were born
isn't it weird that there are two massive differences between the coords of that spot
one is a full forrest and if you step a meter away its a field.
I might be distracted by that fact but I've rarely seen anything other than seasonal changes
if you take one step forward see what happens
that pretty much the exact spot of the coords
is it the same terrain tho?
yes
he coulda put it in the Lake if he wanted to though
see the logs on the background?
is this the first one ?
37.14440 -4.95190
https://www.google.com/maps/place/37°08'39.8"N+4°57'06.8"W/@37.1441645,-4.9525648,16z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d37.1444!4d-4.9519
this is Invermoriston's Coords
i see the similarities, definitely the same place and not a bug or smth
for reference to 57.2182.-4.6180
seems to be, this is also what i was getting
padlet š
padlet dead?
what š
@unkempt crypt only this part is different to the other parts
no haha just people are hype in here
wait which part, the.. logs?
just wondering what y'all actually mean š
the fact that on that exact road there are two completely different landscapes
thats not something that happens often
kinda sus
It's because the car takes a straight path down the road, so that whole journey is one dataset
its a difference of 10 years damn
then the paths down the branching roads are at different times and might have discrepancies to the main recording
I understand but why those coords and not closer to the town
idk cause the person inputting the coords for the second time wasn't in cahoots with the first guy
so it doesn't line up
or maybe this is exactly what Rob wants us to see
but I really do doubt Rob has either found this discrepancy himself (or has anything to do with it)
I'm just checking if there is something special about it
I think this might be a strong lead from him.
He was asked by the Swedish king to build Gƶta Canal, the biggest canal in Sweden, kinda a big deal over there. It also starts in Gothenburg
if u go up the road more, the landscape changes back to 2011/2008
maybe it was news.. deforesation specifically there..
they really took 3 pics in 2021 and then dipped lmfao
ok that probably makes more sense
remind me about Gothenburg again
Torslanda airport is in gothenburg
ahh right
or 'great glen way' tho i dont think thats as strong as invermoriston may be
its just that
Rob says a connection was 'going to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences'
so
just the fact that this guy did
is interesting
can you add Chamomile Saints as a collaborator?
man why is the Padlet colour palette so bleached
lol its like pastels
if padlet had a better way to navigate it like using middle mouse button
i woulda loved it even more
... :c
EXACTLY LMFAO
ohh
I see a 9 lol
how do I make it more visible in photoshop/pea?
You guys clearly dont have eyesigt problems šš
wait that looks like a 9 not a 6
where
what is this lol
sorry š
Kyne had new powers
where is this image from? its ends with 4.9519 right? is that the spanish one (old)
this is the spanish one yeah
ok nvm I'll shut up
which one did you wanna point out then? š
Is it a 8 behind the squares ?
we all are
Shit cant post images
could very well be an 8
i woke up at 5am just for this ||(i just couldnt sleep lmfao)||
could be 3 8 0
8 is the Artic Ocean
what's stopping that from being 5
Me
Scotland!
Anyone wanna drive there
it's right next to the road path here
tap code 44 12 = tb
What goes on that line in France ?
not sure how you'd find that out
can you post this with the 44 12 at the end
its cut off
i thought it was starting in another 2 hours
it was already LEET somewhere
there was a website bug, Rob started it early
It's now dark
Pff it's 6am 
ty ā¤ļø
why does nobody sleep anymore..
i vote for this but desaturated!
4412
| 44 12
Four four one two
tapcode makes sense as someone mentioned
it's just 44 12
Cute dog
how logn did u slepr for
3 hours
can you try this when you are awake please š
long enough for EE hunt
Yeah, I've already got it on the timeline one if you want to see what it looks like. https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-finals-tfee-timeline-2l7qa8t74gbnvijy
The Visual Timeline Guide To TFEE & More!
If you want a more complete guide go to Flex4d's Wonderful Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/edit
this is darker and desaturated so the padlet boxes are offset more
hopefully easier to read
https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1e-clues-connections-v3wvs675l9dvztxa also have this to make written connection posts
(I'll also change the color of the background to the smoke one)
Any new finds in the image itself, or only chasing threads?
just the text at the bottom, the coordinates on the right, and the noticeboard
iirc
and the double rainbow
good, then I can happily look through the image without having someone tell me "that's all been found" haha
𤣠yep
and even if you refind something that we've seen, your first impression of what the clue might mean could shed insight which none of us really caught
I'm wondering if the fact there's no-one inside the mask means anything
also again the double light-artefact
do it anyway
it doesnt hurt that this stage 
Well previous tiers I've always been 30mins-2h late and started reposting all the findings, so I just wanted to be mindful this time 
hmm ya that is weird but then they have a neck
which makes this uncanny asf haha
so no head?
in every single image we have missed clues
and in retrospect some of them are decently obvious
so really please don't feel like there is a stopping point, otherwise nobody looks and there is 0 chance that anything new is found 
what do these numbers mean ?
Zip codes
423 00 - 423 63
Where are you guys getting any of this?
posted in #official-art
I mean shit like this
there are co ordinates hidden in the image , we searched for them
The text on the right side seems like coordinates, so just put them into google and see where it leads
no like where did you even get the image?
here
Are they posting this stuff somewhere?
We get hints from the image and then we take those leads and try to find out something that matches
In the case of the cooridnates. Those go into google and then you just post the link or add some images that supports it
coordinates are hidden haha
Ok im just gonna stop asking because it looks way to complicated






so cute
