easter-eggs

[half bolt]

which i dont think makes any sense

mmmm i dont think its korean

i cant read the korean language so someone is welcome to try and figure that one out

ive also converted the letters to numbers to see if it made any more sense and ive got 161649 and 1616425

[turbid tinsel]

yea its the can charm, would probably need to run with someone with it to then look it over with maybe snipe optics.

[half bolt]

the other key chain deffinitely has something on it

i got a and b so far

oh also a running man

like an exit sign

are there any exit signs on any of the maps

[sharp flame]

VRI can stand for Vehicle Replacement Insurance

but maybe it means Virtual Reality Insurance here

[half bolt]

so from this i started with cyrillic and got aoshzh which i threw into google translate got aoshj which is chineese and then from that got "stay up time"

[half bolt]

ok so it is an A

could be A as in cashout A

[lilac scaffold]

There's a few exit signs

Also i just went to Vegas and it was covered in sand

Everywhere

[half bolt]

yeah im yet to get that map

was trying to tonight but only got seoul

[jade citrus]

That's a normal map modifier

[thorn wagon]

there are several letters that are bolded on the patch notes page that seem out of place

[regal lintel]

spells golden egg, yup.

[lapis condor]

I’m still convinced the credits scroll text has something in it, but I’ve tried Morse code and binary with the periods and exclamation points and come up dry

It’s just so absurdly long 😭

[empty quiver]

OLNGGGEED is what I found.

Golden Egg. Oh come on.

[snow walrus]

Map years?

[jade citrus]

what about them

[long willow]

the holtow QR code doesn't work anymore

[snow walrus]

why maps have years

do they point to something

[jade citrus]

it's the year they are set in

3 of 4 maps are based on real world locations

each of those maps has a year it takes place in

Skyway is the exception because it's not a real-life location

[surreal heath]

[coral wing]

finger wraps have a symbol on them, searched and didnt see it talked about

might be useless, was from newest trailer though

[spring tusk]

Isnt it the finals logo?

[coral wing]

do we have a thread anywhere with images scrubbed from newest trailer yet?

i know yall went mad as i can see

but i keep seeing a lot of references here in video ;-;

[coral wing]

i bet it could be xd

[regal lintel]

I'd say it's fair to say that everything has bee connected so far to the end here, so I made a handy summary chart for people new/old to the hunt. It's very tl;dr.

can't upload so, nvm then lol

I'll write it here:

TFEE T1A Melting point of gold in celcius: In this, we were looking for a date. The puzzle was discovered by overlaying pictures. The date was important as it was in reference to the construction of a cathedral. 1064.

TFEE T1B 79 Atomic number of Gold: This was 79 translated into roman numerals.

TFEE T1C 137, Golden angle: This was the electron configuration for Mendelevium, which is 5f137s2. This one was a bit more obscure

TFEE T1D: This is where we got 0vif0rm from, and it is latin for “egg-shaped.” We also discovered 0=o.

TFEE T1E: This was the chemical formula for Calcium carbonate. Which is the material egg shells are made out of. This is also where we learned about that 3, is actually iii in roman numerals.

TFEE T1F: This is where we got the latin word for “yoke” which is vitellus, but we learned also that E is leetspeak for 3. Thus we got vit3llus.

TFEE T2ABC G = 6: We learned that G = 6. And we got viold by combining that it was gold we were looking for, and roman
numerals.

TFEE T2DEF This followed the previous rule of G = 6, but didn’t follow the leet speak rule: We got egg from all the references of egg, and G = 6, so we plugged in evivi

[tender hinge]

Is all wiped? Idont have any of my closed beta purchases

[timid solstice]

not the right chat, and why would they give away all that for free, they was a whole free battlepass that was permanent

[timid solstice]

I dont think its Casesar +1, I think it was
letter -> leet -> latin
G -> 6 -> VI

[regal lintel]

oh ok! Thank you, I was wondering the connection

but why doesn't egg follow the leet speak rule?

that's what i'd like to know lol

[timid solstice]

its the same:
G -> 6 -> VI

[regal lintel]

E is 3 in leet

[timid solstice]

E G G
E 6 6
E VI VI

[regal lintel]

We used e as leet in vit3llus

[timid solstice]

I see the point, then the answer would have been
iiigg

BUT iii was already used

cacoiii

[unborn pilot]

Plat03 in credits

Could be nothing but it doesn’t match across both and doesn’t come up as a nick name either

[regal lintel]

plato and the golden mean maybe?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_mean_(philosophy)

or that 03 is used instead of iii

or golden ratio

[snow walrus]

is /credits up again?

[unborn pilot]

Yes sir

Now with actual normal credits

[jade citrus]

ayyyy

[long willow]

I think we need more whiteboards

[snow walrus]

that's G6

[hasty anvil]

We need to finish this level

[jade citrus]

golden egg + something

[snow walrus]

let's leave it like that lol

maybe rob enters himself after a while

[timid solstice]

perhaps we try more iterations of;

goldenegg

in;

letter -> leet -> latin

[sharp flame]

can I play the game a bit more first

[jade citrus]

no

[hasty anvil]

nope, not allowed

dont be a bad egg

[regal lintel]

alright, so I have zero clue if this is something

but this is sorta interesting

The final award for the battlepass is a black swan costume.

The greek creation myth is as follows:

"In the beginning there was an empty darkness. The only thing in this void was Nyx, a bird with black wings. With the wind she laid a golden egg and for ages she sat upon this egg."

[hard current]

that’s interesting fasho

[south wyvern]

this made me smile, saw this like four days before the release. I spotted this through the Cupid's Question charm. Eros for Greek and Cupid for Roman (Latin)

[regal lintel]

awesome, glad it's been reviewed already. 🙂

[regal lintel]

just bringing it up, for interest sake

awwww shiiiit

[south wyvern]

Interesting, this charm is currently not in Season 1. (was in CB2 and OB)

funny enough that spelling Eros goes to 'Rose'. Update: now hunting for Remaining: 3

valentines event surely

[south wyvern]

I wanted to double check, did this charm exist in CB1?

[lament fable]

you could also check pinned

[regal lintel]

wanna know something bonkers?

Take the number value of GOLDEGG, and replace o=0,

YOU GET 42

[jade citrus]

explain "number value" to me idk what that means

[regal lintel]

convert the letters into their number values

7 0 12 4 5 7 7

add them together and you get 42

[jade citrus]

wouldnt O be 15 by that logic

[regal lintel]

if you replace o with 0

[jade citrus]

if you say o=0, then why wouldnt 3=E and 6=G

[lapis condor]

The last two images from the last tier spell “question”, possibly the Ultimate Question - answer being 42

[regal lintel]

just found it funny, thats all. 🙂

i've tried 42, and ivii

[jade citrus]

cool coincidence yeah

The ship in hitchhikers guide is called the heart of gold

[snow walrus]

we couldnt find any clue to point hitchhikers afaik

[sick quiver]

Can we get free Credits

[lapis condor]

If the letters do add up to 42 but that seems a stretch

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

what can password limits be?

if password is 'goldenegg' and 5 truths are: Latin, G=vi, e=3=iii, o=0 and space ('_'), i'm trying to think how to type it

• e=3=iii im unsure of, because we've used one of each for different passwords so idk

im lost

[lapis condor]

Ovum aureum

[tired glade]

Keep in mind that frequently in latin the adjective comes after the noun

As RJ said ^

[steel palm]

this must be a clue to an easter egg /s

[lapis condor]

0vum_auriiium

0vum_79riiium

[jade citrus]

can you put these in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1175206999802249307

[hasty anvil]

and make sure to try it in the actual password page haha

[lapis condor]

Will do 🫡

I did for both haha

Actually, haven’t leveled up enough to participate in threads in this server apparently

😅

[sharp flame]

haha it's okay

[regal lintel]

why do we know that _ is space?

[hasty anvil]

space has been a theme, only way i think it can tie into password is a literal space

[snow walrus]

FYI space(32) is already valid ascii you don't need to replace with

[lapis condor]

Btw if it’s worth trying, apparently “aureus” is golden when used as an adjective along with aureum or even aurea

[river flame]

password wont have a space

[tired glade]

If it's plural, they both end in a. Ova aurea

hey guys i want to introduce myself in this easter egg hunt but i dont know where to begin. can anyone summerize the most important information? thank you in advance

[sharp flame]

There's a real good youtube vid

https://youtu.be/XaU6Fo2utBY

but basically, there have been clues hidden in Official Released Images which lead to passwords on this website : https://reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

Tier 3 is unsolved currently, and we have very little current clues

[snow walrus]

AK spray is like a question mark :p

thank you ill try to help

i find this

but the page is down or something

The numbers on the right mighta have something interesting to do with it though

[surreal pelican]

any one see the binary on the white board inside one of the buildings on seoul?

[lofty onyx]

Did anyone already look at the patch notes. A lot of random bold letters

[sharp nebula]

ya i saw that

[turbid tinsel]

Yes, they hit that already

[lofty onyx]

Ok cool

[turbid tinsel]

When in doubt use the search in the easter egg channel

[fickle tinsel]

So has the easter egg already been out, or are we waiting for it?

[limpid pollen]

does the easter egg involve me getting unbanned?

I’m guessing everyone has seen this but…

Has anyone read what was written when the TV show gets hacked when watching the new trailer in the Game Awards?

[coarse dagger]

FYI discord search is pretty powerful. If you're wondering if something has been found do a search and append in: easter-eggs

[vapid holly]

Idk why, but I can’t send a picture

[turbid tinsel]

not high enough rank

[vapid holly]

So, has anyone seen it?

I’m guessing everyone has 😅😅😅

[turbid tinsel]

yes

[vapid holly]

What does it say?

[turbid tinsel]

Why would you ask

[vapid holly]

Cause I can’t read it

[fickle tinsel]

Could the picture numbers be a hint in this website? https://www.embark-studios.com/about

The quality is horrible on my phone

just search it like me and lulz have mentioned multiple times now lol

[viscid latch]

Okay so I was playing Vegas. I went by a shipping container and it proceeded it make a banging noise and a guy say "Help! LET ME OUT!"

So uhhh if someone replicates it lmao. I rmeeber it was at an alley way near the edge of the map?

[jade citrus]

Cool! Was it one that you could open, like the yellow one with doors?

[viscid latch]

It was mid match and I was getting gunned down xD

So if someone else explores it yeah. I'm off gaming for tonight so I can't really record it.

I do believe it was yellow also

Near a chain linked fence I think. My brain is fuzzy.

[jade citrus]

I think it's a Nama Tama wearing a medieval helmet

with a little axe

[coarse dagger]

Bruh you can open the shipping containers. That was totally your teammate

[jade citrus]

not sure if this is just a reference to what the Jack looks like on a deck of cards, or if it's a hint at a future map/event

[viscid latch]

IT HAD KNOKCING SOUNDS AND EVERYTHING

[coarse dagger]

I could totally be wrong... but you can indeed make knocking noises into a microphone... or use a soundboard

[viscid latch]

MF RUN UP TO CONTIANERS IN VEGAS.

You have legs. I have a deadline!

[coarse dagger]

I can't just tell the games to put me into Vegas

[viscid latch]

Simply will it into existance.

[coarse dagger]

Did you perhaps try opening the shipping container?

[viscid latch]

As stated I was gunned down

[spark nacelle]

was it regular or night version of vegas? @viscid latch

[jade citrus]

I think this says ENOMO on the helmet

from the very end of the trailer

should be from:rob_embark

[viscid latch]

I think it was night?

[slim rapids]

Has anyone seen the Holtow QR code sticker? Leads to an unfound server error but also a “howltow.com” url

[jade citrus]

yes. FYI discord search is pretty powerful. If you're wondering if something has been found do a search and append in: easter-eggs

[unborn pilot]

Hey guys I think we solved the numbers on the white board

148.9 x 71.9 x 7.9 mm (5.86 x 2.83 x 0.31 in)

Phone size for the LG “G6”

So white board now has 3 g=6 clues

[regal lintel]

Lol damn. That’s fun.

Was hoping for a bigger revelation hahaha

[unborn pilot]

Me too but at least that crosses it off my list for now

[regal lintel]

Does anyone have any theories about the F=6 idea?

Like… we know it’s linked to the alphabet obvs

What about the 5 Truths

[jade citrus]

nice solve! (again)

[unborn pilot]

Ty @jade citrus

So there might be other clues in the phone

LG (part of G O L D)

And 136 grams (seeing number 3 6 1)

[regal lintel]

@unborn pilot sorry, which whiteboard you looking at?

[unborn pilot]

Lemme find the full image. It’s in one of the threads

[jade citrus]

its two whiteboards on the Skyway Stadium map

[unborn pilot]

#1175257406838677514 message

Correct two in skyway. One is in a hallway the other I believe opposite side of building in a room.

Not kidding the white board got blown up 5 seconds later so that’s all I got

[slender dew]

It was “[One night, three dawns. See the signs]”

So far, no real leads on how it ties into an answer. Couple of ideas though, including the three dawns based on different degrees from sunrise

[jade citrus]

NOOO i got a game on Vegas and my game crashed :(

[brazen egret]

Has anything new happened

I see the holtow website is still dead

[spark nacelle]

probably was the container next to the music playing behind the rat posters and misheard the music

[brazen egret]

Have we tried other know companies

[unborn pilot]

There’s a lot of unsolved numbers and letters and things still. Though I do feel there is more on Vegas we have not found yet

[jade citrus]

ENGIMO ?

[craggy blade]

re the one night three dawns thing, there's a night shot of Seoul with signs that appears in three trailers:

• season 1 trailer at 1:00
• closed beta Mar 2023 trailer at 0:13
• open beta Oct 2023 trailer at 1:39

[spark nacelle]

In season 1 trail all the maps except for Seoul started out day then switched to night, maybe Seoul is one night and others day?

[tame maple]

I'm really new, but are we tryna get clues for the white question mark? Or the previous image?

[coarse dagger]

Season 1 trailer: https://youtu.be/D_-sYUHyhAw&t=60
Closed beta trailer: https://youtu.be/MYQLw2b__qA&t=13

Don't see a March 2023 open beta trailer on their youtube channel

[spark nacelle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYQLw2b__qA

closed beta video^

[coarse dagger]

Oh, sorry. I was confused because it was posted in February 😅

[coarse dagger]

Updated. Links include timestamps to the portions @spark nacelle mentioned.

[faint rivet]

think i found the pug

[coarse dagger]

Quick picture to show.
Might be worth extracting the frames and trying to do a diff, although perspective changes a bit, so it might take some work to find the right frames.

[tame maple]

could you check what I sent rq

just wanna see if you could overlay the question marks

[coarse dagger]

@tame maple RedWolf never responded. Could you respond to the Korean questions?

[tame maple]

It's very low res so I'm not exactly sure but let me try something

[faint rivet]

looks like Rob has a shack in Las Vegas

[coarse dagger]

Image from @tame maple

[turbid tinsel]

might be for the braclet shop

[tame maple]

The second letter is tricky because

볶 뷰 봄 넘 looks the same in this resolution,

사넘다더
사 • • • is what I'm thinking for now

Excluding 뷰 because usually never used in much words in Korean

And even if the second letter is in fact "넘", I don't think I can't see much of a word coming from it.

[turbid tinsel]

isnt there more to it though? its a straight line of text across the bottom of the can

[tame maple]

Is there a better image than this image btw?

Or is that the highest res we got

[turbid tinsel]

not sure its korean

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, doesn't look like it based on that image

[tame maple]

Looks like numbers, no?

where is this object again?

let me make a custom resolution on my computer via nvidia thing

[turbid tinsel]

i got it

[tame maple]

and let me just see if I can get a better look

oh

[turbid tinsel]

all letters from what i can tell, GID-EIG-SO/DL-OCT

I think its SDL though

thats checking it out on the flash bang

you have to time the swing to get it because the charm wiggles

[coarse dagger]

436-785-512-619 ?

Note this item is not new Season 1

[unborn pilot]

good find

[tame maple]

is there any other codes that looked like this before?

xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

[turbid tinsel]

that A i found here earlier almost looks like its got a triangle above it or its apart of a rockect in this angle. kinda like from the board

[spring tusk]

Muuuch clearer now

[turbid tinsel]

something on the top of the hanmmer as well

[coral wing]

Only difference i see in my eyes is 426-785-512-619

[tame maple]

where is this can?

H5942617857-VRI.. hmm..

[strange nova]

I found it quite interesting that there were some bold letters in the recent hotfix

spread around here and there

I found a g, 2 e's and a few other letters

[coarse dagger]

#1182846481485549668

[strange nova]

aha

[dark abyss]

i just found that

not sure if t1 has been solved with this

[timid solstice]

nice! solved

[timid solstice]

yup!!

wait a minute... is this morse?

[sharp flame]

This was in the original keyart, just search ENOIMO or ENSIMO and it should show our original convos

[tame maple]

might be.

[pure loom]

I don’t think so, as the pattern looked repeated

[sharp flame]

then it's a repeating short code no?

1100010010

or 1001011000

not sure what the start of the pattern is tho

[obtuse abyss]

scotty was a former contestant confirmed

[brazen egret]

have we figured out what the text on the side of the qr code sticker goes to yet?

also do you guys think we need to figure out a puzzle for the holtow page to go live

because i was thinking that maybe there is a different puzzle we have to figure out first before the holtow page would be available

[half bolt]

i enhanced this to get a better look and it looks like its GED - ZIG - 5OL - OCT

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[half bolt]

a ged is general education development (devs)

zig is a programing language

[half bolt]

50l is a type of tank (water tank)

then oct could be a range of things

properiy is spelt wrong

unless its property

still the t looks like an i

[sharp flame]

looks like binary to me, will do each frame in turn

[half bolt]

tbh it looks like a pattern

tbh i think we've strayed heavily

like ALOT

[brazen egret]

is there a way to make custom games to look for easter eggs or do you have to queue for public

[sharp flame]

strayed?

[half bolt]

the last thing that rob hinted to us being close to was golden egg

[sharp flame]

probably

[sharp flame]

oh yeah I wasn't really thinking about the Password, just finding EEs

[brazen egret]

so is there anything in vegas or other maps that has anything to do with the golden eggs

[half bolt]

its something to do with the golden eggs

[brazen egret]

i know we have the slot machines but those didnt lead anywhere

[half bolt]

could also be something to do with that tamagotchi egg chain

[brazen egret]

i hope we get customs soon, it would make it easier for people looking for EEs and it would make it more fun for people who get queued with the people looking for EEs

[half bolt]

theres this guy on youtube whos done videos opening golden eggs in other games called jon sandman

probably a stretch but something

[brazen egret]

does embark have any other games that have a reference to golden eggs or is there a reference to any other games in the finals?

[half bolt]

ummmm lemme look

[brazen egret]

or does embark have any other games that are referened in the finals that would give us a lead

[coarse dagger]

They're numbers 😭
#easter-eggs message

[brazen egret]

i cant look in game for any references at the moment but ive been wondering if there was anything

has there been any specific name in the new vegas map that seems odd>

?

[half bolt]

the creative playground looks like egg

[brazen egret]

also did we ever figure out what the specific dates on the maps were or was that nothing

[half bolt]

also ARC Raiders

[brazen egret]

also wondering is there any beta cosmetics that have anything to do with a golden egg? last time i was on there wasnt anything that you could look at that had anything about a golden egg

has anyone checked arc raiders for anything

[half bolt]

arc raiders is in beta its worth a look

[brazen egret]

i was wondering about the credits, in the game inscryption, there was a certain combination of keys you could do during a boot-up sequence that woud allow you to type and get a part of the puzzle in the game. so i was wondering if we had found anything like that for the credits, as i know previously we had tried to do something like that, but got nothing.

[half bolt]

hold on this has been talked about what if its related to two truths and a lie

rob has mentioned to open our eyes what if its to a lie

[brazen egret]

what was the text during the hacked broadcast

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[half bolt]

i dont remember what the txt said

[brazen egret]

if you look up 1 night 3 dawns, there is a story named three dawns in one day, but i have to go for a little. lmk of you guys find anything interesting or if you guys figure out the password

[half bolt]

theres a book series which is a trillogy called the nights dawn

but theres also an anime ref

i think its TBHK by the looks of the manga but the kid sings "one night, two dawns, three go together"

[brazen egret]

just had a thought, can the times of day change on any map

[half bolt]

i dont know

[brazen egret]

also was wondering if there was anything referencing times of day in the vegas map

like maybe a part of the casino with a moon around it that can lead to something

[half bolt]

maybe worth a look

[brazen egret]

i should be good to go look for myself soon, just trying to finish some homework

[half bolt]

ight

[red thorn]

I entered the game and it seems to me that I got it BAN I do not know why There are problems with the servers If anyone can help me please because I want to do a live on YouTube and I can't log in

[spark nacelle]

_ . . .... . .

on Rob's hut

translated to "tee hee" lmao

[coarse dagger]

Sir, this is the easter egg chat

[coarse dagger]

If you've got a screenshot feel free to DM it to me and I can post it

[grave moon]

ok I just found the golden egg easter egg on the patch notes and I feel like im 24 steps behind everyone here haha

If possible could someone explain a bit whats happening?

Wonderful! thank you very much

[coarse dagger]

Anyone else here getting DM spam from @red thorn ?

Just want to see if it's enough of an issue that I should report it

[red thorn]

You will be left with proof

[half bolt]

Such a Rob thing to do

[cobalt lily]

oh fuck I just read #egg-hunt-onboarding

this game has prior Dice devs on it doesnt it

[dawn dust]

So, the login prompt at the old /credits page. Was that really just a Squarespace misconfiguration afterall?

[slender dew]

Yeparino, original Battlefield folks, Rob was the one who designed the BF1 Easter Eggs if I remember correctly

[cobalt lily]

oof, count me out on egg hunting, someone ping me when the 45minute long guide by xfactor is up

[timid solstice]

yes, I found the site back in Sept and it was the same login screen right up until hours before release

[tacit wedge]

44444 kinda lines up with robs hour, day, month, year hint
April 4th, xx44 at 4 am/pm

[snow walrus]

idk if there is other meaning but
#easter-eggs message

[tacit wedge]

that would make more sense

the question mark on the whiteboard looks like it's a piece of debris

has anyone found a piece that looks like it?

[dawn dust]

But it is just a normal credits page now, so the login prompt we were seeing was that just a .htaccess or Squarespace misconf?

[sharp flame]

oh it works now

[timid solstice]

I think so, thats why I didnt bring it up before

[lapis condor]

Hey lmao

Not surprised to see you here

[tacit wedge]

lol

sup rj

[lapis condor]

These puzzles are on an entire other level

[tacit wedge]

yeah, tons of websites, images and gameplay to crawl through

rob made the bf1 easter eggs so im not surprised

[turbid tinsel]

name of this skin makes me think fine print needs to be read somewhere.

[summer turtle]

Borderlands reference? kinda lol

[sharp flame]

the flies on the trash bags are flying money 😭

[lapis condor]

That’s hilarious

[tacit wedge]

considering the "little" hint rob gave us, you could be right

[timid solstice]

FLYING CASH ??

[turbid tinsel]

theres an expression for it also.

and did anyone notice the time on the watch is i think for your current time? the watch reflects what time it is for me currently

also who is odilia?

[tacit wedge]

Do we know why the question marks in the images are sized differently?

[plucky plaza]

if you clear out ur friend requests theres a little cryptic looking nama tama with a 0

u can only see it if you clear out ur friend requests as u cant open the menu up unless u have friend requests

[tacit wedge]

Has anyone noted how the a-b/a-c lines on the whiteboard are similarly sized to the golden ratio?

[regal lintel]

Can you show us?

[tacit wedge]

in the picture i have, it's 105px/62px

which nears the golden ratio

[plucky plaza]

i cant because i just cleared em out LOL

here after my match ill give u my tag

[regal lintel]

Oh, I’m afk

[tacit wedge]

my tag is TylerS76#5497

[tacit wedge]

i got a better measurement, 266/161, closer but not exact

[tacit wedge]

final skin the battle pass

[turbid tinsel]

ok but other than that whats the significance here

[solar glade]

she’s the first character we’ve gotten for game, part of the Shadow Flock and the Vanishing Bomb was her signature gadget

[tacit wedge]

odilia as a name is meant to signify wealth and fortune (gold relation), but if it's referring to the saint, odilia of cologne, maybe it means we need to look carefully

[regal lintel]

Alright. Got a theory.

So, this is based on rob’s comments about dates. Dates years, days, months…

[tacit wedge]

the description says pay homage, so my guess is that it relates to the saint

[frozen copper]

Guys im new here... is their a summery what happend since?

i wanna help too

[tacit wedge]

check out the links
#egg-hunt-onboarding message

[old atlas]

lowkey that would be amazing, wanna help too

[tacit wedge]

there's quite a bit of stuff to comb through

[regal lintel]

Spring equinox is related to new life. Eggs. March 21st. Then we need the year…

[frozen copper]

Using ai is why not allowed ?

[regal lintel]

5 truths. Hesiod’s 5 Ages, the Golden Age. Maybe? Then again, it could just be a golden year in Greek culture

[tacit wedge]

actually there are 2 saints who are patronesses of good eyesight

[sharp flame]

@timid solstice here

[tacit wedge]

could just give you the answer, it's basically an encyclopedia of everything related to what you input

[frozen copper]

wtf

[tacit wedge]

that looks like one pattern might give you the order, while the other is the actual binary

[sharp flame]

also because it does the work for you, and is half-wrong half the time

[tacit wedge]

if it's anything

[frozen copper]

okay thanks

[tacit wedge]

top line looks like binary, bottom line looks like the order

[frozen copper]

oh so we searching for tier 3 password?

[sharp flame]

How would it give order? I don't quite see what you mean

[plucky plaza]

added u

in the request menu

look at the bottom right

do NOT accept my request until u get a picture of the little guy

[sharp flame]

Yep Yep seen that already

it's in #official-art as well

[plucky plaza]

1984 😔

[sharp flame]

was an easter egg clue yolks ago

[plucky plaza]

DAMN it

[sharp flame]

🪦 litewally

[plucky plaza]

felt like a fuckin genius findin that one LMAOOO

[tacit wedge]

i could be wrong, just spitballing

speaking of spitballing, all the flamingos on vegas are gold

which could lay golden eggs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Egg_(disambiguation)

might be useful to look into those

namely the aesop fable

[shadow finch]

Was about to say this. I still have a lot of catching up to do in this thread and in EE in general, but yeah the golden egg thing seems to be a clue

[pure loom]

Maybe we should consider some variations of GOLDEN EGG, like YELLOW OVUM, for instance.

[unique spruce]

might also be a good idea to consider what a gold egg represents. a treasure, a reward, something of value, wealth

[snow walrus]

Yes i think answer is golden egg but different format, thats why rob says 5 themes

[shadow finch]

https://spirituallearners.com/spiritual-meaning-of-a-golden-egg/ - apparently the golden egg symbolizes nirvana and similar concepts across different religions

[turbid tinsel]

more on odilia here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odile_of_Alsace

not 100% on this but maybe this sticker is supposed to represent what they are holding on the statue?

[shadow finch]

sun=Golden egg? What sticker is that?

[turbid tinsel]

And just something to think about, the dice are not 1-6 clockwise and they have 2 lines on certain sides.

[river flame]

could just be a die represented on a plane

[tacit wedge]

that's how dice are made, the opposites sum to 7

not sure about the lines

[tender lotus]

I feel like I missed the original assignment, but I’m ready to do research. Like Incas collected 700 tons of gold, “sweat of the sun”

[turbid tinsel]

the numbers across from each other in a straight line all = 7

[tacit wedge]

if we're talking about 7's, vegas may have more to hide

[turbid tinsel]

yea lucky 777

congrats on rank up btw

[tacit wedge]

i checked out the die charm, nothing special about it

just a normal righthanded die

maybe the backgrounds for each battlepass page has something to hide, and maybe some other items in the bp

[snow walrus]

for the new hunters
#easter-eggs message

[tender lotus]

Of the lines on the dice mean something it might be the sum of the two sides we can’t see. For example,
9, 3, 5, 6, 3, 4 but I could have the orientation or handed-ness off.

[lapis condor]

Or ASCII of the two numbers

[river flame]

#easter-eggs message

possibly has something to do with batman?

[snow walrus]

batman? how

[coarse dagger]

I suspect it's just how they're restricting access to pages which aren't ready yet.

For example
https://www.reachthefinals.com/leaderboard
also shows a password entry at the moment

[spark nacelle]

Rob said this “intricate spiderweb of clues... ._.”
Possibly connected to spider charm (and maybe the “itsy bitsy shield” charm from the old story “the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spider web”

Referring to this message: #easter-eggs message

[viscid latch]

Aight I got recording software up. Gunna try to find the man knocking in the box thing.

I got in though the map wasnt at night. Ill look anyways.

[tender lotus]

“… climbed up the water spout…” is how I learned it.

[coarse dagger]

Hahaha!
I just realized that's probably part of why I was finding connections to Hermeticism!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_and_Other_Qabalistic_Writings_of_Aleister_Crowley

I noted this 777 and thought I had found some other stuff connected to the number at the time.

It was probably teasing the Vegas map!

[viscid latch]

okay

I got a recording of what maybe I mistaken it for.

Might be the metal club. There is a recording. But Ill roll the dice to see if I can get vegas night to recreate it.

[spark nacelle]

Yeah… I need sleep :)

[lapis condor]

The Batmobile lost a wheel and Robin laid a (golden) egg?

[tender lotus]

I know a bit about biblical numerology and the number 7 three times can be understood in context as far back as exodus to my knowledge.

[surreal sinew]

Yay

[coarse dagger]

@frozen copper also every time someone has neglected to read the rules and posted something they got from AI it's been hot garbage.

There's so many arbitrary ways to encode information. The group knowledge we have of the hunt allows us to make connections to solve clues. You can't get that from an AI unless you train a model using all previously known hunt info and general knowledge.

[unique spruce]

no new eye reacts in days, right?

[tacit wedge]

@lapis condor would know plenty about group knowledge
i dont think a single person solved one of his hunts without any assistance from others

[lapis condor]

It’s true lol, any puzzle that was more than a couple steps and it would take the village (but mostly Tyler) to finish

[viscid latch]

Refinding this man trapped in box thing has got me jumping every 2 mins

I CANNOT GET VEGAS NIGHT FOR SOME UNGODLY REEASON

[pure loom]

What is that? I missed this

[viscid latch]

LAst night when I was playing I went by a shipping container and heard banging and a guy pleading to hget out

[pure loom]

No way! That’s crazy

Hahaha

[viscid latch]

I did record it and now Im trying to get a game to record it

but it was at vegas night

[tacit wedge]

the one behind the glamora casino?

[viscid latch]

I have no idea. I need to find it again.

hence the requeing nightmare

[pure loom]

I’ll jump on soon and see if I can capture it too. We so need private servers haha

[viscid latch]

I swear I am not schitzophrenic because I didnt have VC on and wasnt in a discord call.

[tacit wedge]

it seems like glamora has a lot of significance

[tender lotus]

Is there a way to hunt for clues in game without being a bad teammate?

[viscid latch]

I try its hard

I have been a little running around goblin in so many games now

[tacit wedge]

iirc odilia performs at glamora, glamora has golden flamingos (which may lay gold eggs) and the alley behind it has a bunch of graffiti

[pure loom]

@tulip matrix recorded the speaking slot machine too. Duh thought it says “everybody loses” but I thought it said “you beauty” first

[tacit wedge]

start recording every bit of gameplay with medal or shadowplay, or something similar

[coarse dagger]

Rob has repeatedly told us we have everything we need for the tier, that we're basically on our own, and that we're close.

Honestly we probably just need to spend more time entering passwords using permutations of what we think the truths are with gold/golden egg.

[pure loom]

Those are where my EE is supposed to be, but Duh and I couldn’t find it.

[coarse dagger]

Form an EE team.

[viscid latch]

Im scared I will get banned or something from game hopping trying to find vegas night

[tacit wedge]

for the greater good

honestly though i don't think you'll be banned

maybe sandstorm variant has significance too? no other map has it afaik

[viscid latch]

I cant load into games now

[regal lintel]

not a bad thought, tbh.... It was bolded

[viscid latch]

sadge

[tender lotus]

I was just thinking that. Will have to see about it. Probably get like a whole roster of players so like we can get 3 consistently. Would want at least one to be disruptive and clean up after two competing teams clash.

[tacit wedge]

Anyone been able to find significance with the alien event?

[viscid latch]

I GOT VEGAS NIGHT

[tulip matrix]

I heard both
It says "you beauty" and then "nobody wins"

[pure loom]

Yeah. I agree

[tacit wedge]

check the container behind glamora

[tulip matrix]

Alternatively I think the first part could be "you hero"

[viscid latch]

dIDNT TLAK

MUST HAVE BEEN ANOTHER ONE

AND THE GAME ENDED

NOOOOOOOO

[pure loom]

Yeah, “you beauty” is quite Australian haha

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-good-day-mate-gday-gif-4483118

[viscid latch]

IM so sad. I know I didnt hear music so it must be another container ya know?

I got vegas susnet lets see if its good enough

[raw drift]

SO when are they gonna unban people for the tfla0004 error? i wait fro 2 days

[coarse dagger]

Was doing it in the beta. It's better to just avoid people.
During the beta it was difficult to get an EE team together. I think you just need to repeatedly ask in here if anyone's interested in lobbying up to hunt. I don't think we have a critical mass of people interested to make a "roster"

[coarse dagger]

Sir this is the easter egg chat

[raw drift]

easter egg, is if i can play the game

[fallen jasper]

stop

[hard current]

I noticed the flashing too

it doesn't seem entirely random

[viscid latch]

its gunna be all day until I get vegas ngiht at this rate

I swear I heard this on my life

[hard current]

I wish we could hear from Rob soon, it seems a lot of the ee hunters have been scattered to the wind upon release and this channel took on a ton of new people which is not bad, it's great! but everything feels very scattered now

[viscid latch]

sorry

[hard current]

oh no homie you're totally fine

the scattering of ideas and everything is just cause the game released and everyone got busy 😉

[tacit wedge]

plot twist, it was your neighbor

[viscid latch]

I live on a farm >.>

[regal lintel]

so, here's another thought I had.

Been reading through rob's messages. We got Golden Egg from the patch notes. But I want to know if it's a phonetic play on words. So is it golden egg, we are looking for or Gold and egg

interesting thought I'd toss into the ether

[celest dragon]

same

[tacit wedge]

the 2 question marks are gold and (kinda) eggshell colored

[regal lintel]

yup, but i'm referencing the string of messages from rob on 12/05/2023. They talk about GOLD and then rob's like AND, and they get Gold and egg, but then the patch notes contain golden egg. So... is it golden egg, or gold and egg

also, 6 seems to be playing a big factor into this.

[tacit wedge]

both 6 and 7

[regal lintel]

where do we see 7?

[tacit wedge]

7 is mostly related to vegas, sum of 7 for the opposite dice sides, 777

[regal lintel]

hmm... I'm not seeing as strong a connection there. I get what you are saying, but there hasn't been a super official clue pointing us that direction

[tacit wedge]

there is a golden dice charm too, vegas is also filled with golden stuff

but yeah, nothing concrete yet

what tier is find psw part of

[pure loom]

we'll get back into it properly soon, once the dust settles

[hard current]

yeah rn I kinda wanna keep playing and I just graduated college yesterday so I’m trying to get my head back into it too lmao

light work (I almost died)

[pure loom]

congrats!

[hard current]

thank you! now it’s time to put this big brain to use in this EE

Yup I think Miiike posted it earlier today

[jade citrus]

looks like a "1 line face" drawing, I can't find the exact image though

[tacit wedge]

timestamp?

nvm

37 sec

[pure loom]

40

[jade citrus]

Also I found the source of the "screaming" in Vegas, its the "Death by Rhodent" band playing. Its sounds like it's coming from behind the wall ouside of the map

[pure loom]

depends on which version of the trailer I suppose

[pure loom]

great!

[hasty anvil]

yehhhh this is what i was talking about, didnt notice the screaming at first

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

NamaTama the card dealer, with an odd-looking King of Spades (the K's are backwards for their positions) from 1:14:08 in the Embark version of the trailer

Rob is the Joker haha (edited from Jack)

@viscid latch i got clear night vegas first try

did you record

[pure loom]

A strange-looking other Jack here, from 1:14:20 in the Embark version of the launch trailer

[viscid latch]

did you go near it and it said let me out?

[tacit wedge]

nah

[viscid latch]

wtf happened then

[jade citrus]

#easter-eggs message

[viscid latch]

maybe its just a random easter egg weith no ARG value

[jade citrus]

it's the band playing on the other side of that wall

[river flame]

you mean joker?

[jade citrus]

#easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Pretty sure it's a Jack - Joker usually has "Joker" written on it and isn't mirrored

could be ambiguous I guess

[river flame]

I don't see a symbol

[viscid latch]

im sorry for wasting ylals time then

[pure loom]

there are blurry Js top left and bottom right

[river flame]

yeah but no spade diamond heart club

[pure loom]

true

The J of Robs haha

[jade citrus]

its ok you actually DID find something, it just wasn't what we thought it was at first

[pure loom]

Lots of charging battery symbols the moment the trailer starts to get hacked

Heads up, deleting messages can sometimes make conversation hard to follow for people coming in after the fact

[pure loom]

During the CNS hack, there is one frame where only the letters T B I ON are shown. Could point to "Terbium (Tb) Ion" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terbium

Terbium was discovered by a Swedish chemist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Mosander

[jade citrus]

i think that's a [

[pure loom]

yes! "step away from the Terbium"

[unborn pilot]

Anyone know what this switch does on Vegas? It has a giant cable leading downstairs but nothing seems to activate from it that I can tell.

[lapis condor]

I think those deactivate turrets

[tacit wedge]

turrets and laser gate

[unborn pilot]

or activate them but power was out this version.

makes sense ty

[tacit wedge]

has anyone tried isolating the color channels in the cns hack

[pure loom]

"Good E This Bro, Been Ha" - yes @proud minnow it is a good E hahaha

[tacit wedge]

also, I think the "tb ion" thing is just the start of this, been and one

i dont think it has any significance

[pure loom]

Yeah, @jade citrus pointed out the "I" is an "["

so ignore the Tb

I wonder if the "see the signs" is pointing us to look at signage in the game

[tacit wedge]

there are 4 maps right?

[unborn pilot]

Argon is name of the casino downtown. Interesting to see it came up before.

[pure loom]

yeah, Monaco 2014, Seoul 2023, Skyway Stadium, and Las Vegas 2032

[tacit wedge]

I saw something about another element or gas

[unborn pilot]

Exactly 9 years apart also

[tacit wedge]

cant remember where it was

[tacit wedge]

maybe we have to go to one of of the maps at night

[pure loom]

yeah, we have pondered this - maybe a cycle to it, could be Hunger Games like

[unborn pilot]

Next map 2041 🙂

[coarse dagger]

Honestly I don't think this theory makes much sense with the VR/Gameshow theme of the game

[tacit wedge]

and the three others at sunrise (if that is an option)

[tame maple]

goodmorning easteregg people

[pure loom]

well, I guess we can say the 9 year element might be meaningful considering the three location-based ones are all 9 years apart, but we don't know why

The Hunger Games is an art influence on the game though

[jade citrus]

gm

[brazen egret]

can someone check holtow.com?

[unborn pilot]

Might be tied to them being locations on Earth or something. Since Skyway is the only one without a date

[brazen egret]

its says something about domain

pending domain

[tacit wedge]

is there any significance to the ospuze and iseul-t sponsors

[brazen egret]

i think that the holtow website should be up soon

https://tenor.com/view/little-green-men-dance-dance-moves-gif-15787042665329784016

[tacit wedge]

i found that too, not sure if there's anything there

[hard current]

so based off conversation in here, are we assuming this tier can’t be solved outside of the new stuff?

tho rob said multiple times we had everything…

[unborn pilot]

I just got this same sound effect when I opened an office door on Skyway

[pure loom]

If the 5th map (presuming it is a location) is 2041 or 2005 then we could pretty safely assume this is really something important, I reckon

Might have to wait a month or three for that

[coarse dagger]

can’t be solved outside of the new stuff?
I don't follow the question

[lapis condor]

Meaning any clues / hints from after launch

Like the credits, stuff in Vegas map, etc

[coarse dagger]

I assumed that's what @hard current was referring to, but the question still doesn't make sense

[jade citrus]

we have everything we need, we don't need any new info (from the launch) to solve T3

there might be a few small clues, like the whiteboards for T2ABC, not totally sure though

[snow walrus]

no realnamatama 😦

[lapis condor]

Maybe the real namatama was the friends we made along the way 🥲

[hard current]

sorry let me reword: based on conversations in here, is it our belief that this tier can’t be solved with what we already had vs what we’ve seen since release

[tulip matrix]

I think we can solve it

And it's right under our bums

[fallen jasper]

Hows everyone doing?

[tacit wedge]

just great

[snow walrus]

Enjoying the game thanks, how is community managing going through the release week 😄

[reef spire]

how can I fix Black screen on startup ?

[fallen jasper]

I have enjoyed watching people enjoying the game and finally being a part of it offically

[fallen jasper]

This isn't a tech support channel

[reef spire]

where is it ?

[snow walrus]

https://embark-studios.helpshift.com/hc/en/

there is a topic about your problem

[reef spire]

thank you ❤️

[coarse dagger]

can’t be solved with what we already had vs what we’ve seen since release

Idk, to me your wording seems a bit backward?
Rob said we had everything we needed before Season 1, so I don't think we need anything from release, but it's possible there's still hints for us here or there or general reinforcement of themes/truths which could help

[regal lintel]

one of the biggest things that i've felt about it is the 5 truths

does the year 1914 have any relation

[pure loom]

Has anyone come up with any good paths based on the numbers in the credits opening screen? 1982 is pretty interesting, given that's pretty much right in the window that we think the ARC Raiders "ARC event" occurred. Also, odd that it says Thursday 08-Dec-23, when Thursday was the 7th.

[regal lintel]

We've had numerals, leet, dates, chemistry, latin words

[lapis condor]

The version number could be a date

3-17-76

[pure loom]

yeah, I did look at that a bit

[tacit wedge]

https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/repeating.html?year=2011

those years have dec 8 on a thursday

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message
So was this incorrect?
*Edit: looks like it

[lapis condor]

3-13-38 could be a date too

[regal lintel]

i'm in the sandstorm vegas level if anyone wants me to look for something

[sharp flame]

the ARC event

[tacit wedge]

if im not mistaken, leap years are the reason it is possible

[coarse dagger]

There are dates in your link that are not leap years, so I don't think so.

[turbid tinsel]

was this version of the credits not out on the 7th?

[pure loom]

yeah, it was there at launch (well, pre-launch actually)

[pure loom]

leaving room for it not being aliens haha

[turbid tinsel]

why is the date later than when the game released then?

[pure loom]

good question

Rob doesn't tend to make many typos

[lapis condor]

Maybe the time zone that was 3 AM the next day?

It was December 8th for almost half the planet when it launched

[pure loom]

yeah, but then it was Friday

[lapis condor]

Ohhhhh

Yeah that seems odd

[turbid tinsel]

from @tacit wedge Says "The Fine Finals"

[sharp flame]

wait what says that

[turbid tinsel]

Read it again but slower

i missed it the first time i looked

@tacit wedge Where did you find this?

[tacit wedge]

practice range

[sharp flame]

on the bounce pad?

[tacit wedge]

under the box rings

[snow walrus]

wtf

[sharp flame]

ohh

[unborn pilot]

things love to be "off by 1" Dec 8th was a Thursday in 2022

[snow walrus]

practice range🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[regal lintel]

has anyone looked at the tutorial?! 🤣

[snow walrus]

i did to unlock the achievement lol

also tried to destroy everything to see if thereis any clue in practice range

[tacit wedge]

there's a lot of stuff indicating "fine print"

maybe we gotta look around all the maps

[pure loom]

yeah, I did it just now

bland haha

[tacit wedge]

looks like it's empty

[snow walrus]

there is french sign but isnt suspicious

[pure loom]

the only EEs in there are the red roses by the park bench

https://tenor.com/view/sam-lake-sam-lake-coffee-drink-gif-13507325281063282511

[sharp flame]

what are those

[pure loom]

You can pick them up individually. I tried lots of things with them, but I think they're just a little EE by themselves

A story of unrequited love maybe

[snow walrus]

who left them there -_-

#easter-eggs message that got eyeballs from Rob today

[pure loom]

Great! Now what the heck is it? haha

It looks like a 44-gallon drum wrapped in two matches, with medieval battle axes

A medieval map would be pretty awesome tbf

[snow walrus]

6A hexadecimal is 111

[pure loom]

I think I've worked it out!

[snow walrus]

Are those axes

Cant see well

[lapis condor]

Got eyeballed here too #easter-eggs message

Same thing

[pure loom]

It's a knight's helmet with NamaTama inside it

the white and yellow is Nama's body and yolk

[lapis condor]

One Knight, three dawns?

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/surprised-sorprendido-shaquille-oneal-gif-23222312

something like this

Maybe a medieval map hint??

Edinburgh Castle would be mint

[snow walrus]

Thats sound familiar which tier was from

[pure loom]

I mentioned it here. It was last year, so pretty early

[snow walrus]

Time flies..

WHOA: "Egg Castle" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_dell'Ovo

[coarse dagger]

So... My feed suggested me this video:
https://youtu.be/L3giAyHME1s?si=FRjGCy0sdskizi0S

It has the same 6 bouncing balls as the credits... I'm not personally familiar with the C64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum culture, but these both have to be a back-reference to something else, right?

[pure loom]

haha that's crazy that it recommended it to you

the rainbow coloured lines in there are similar too

[snow walrus]

The algorithm 🧎‍♂️

[pure loom]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_helm

[lapis condor]

Interesting this video also launched the same day as the game

[coarse dagger]

Off by one

at least in my timezone

[pure loom]

Season 2 Starter Bundle haha

"The barreled style was used by knights in most West European armies between about 1220 to 1350 AD"

narrows it down a bit

age-wise, but not location so much

"In Sweden, beheading by broad axe was a method of execution used in the 18th and 19th centuries." oof

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. The bouncing balls were quite common in these types of screen actually. I just saw another with it the other day that looked almost exactly like the Embark one.

[coarse dagger]

I had a typo here. 6 bouncing balls, not 5

[tulip matrix]

Now I want a Zweihander for heavy build

[snow walrus]

And similar sliding text also

[idle tangle]

Can someone figure this out

[unborn pilot]

oh on that note /credits is DOWN again

[unborn pilot]

We did. Just waiting on it to be live

[idle tangle]

What is it

[unborn pilot]

Won’t know until it’s live 🙂

It’s for Holtow the sponsors this season

[idle tangle]

Ahhhhh thank you

[unborn pilot]

If it’s like the other sponsor pages it will likely be an image / clue of sorts

[coarse dagger]

A different down now. 404, not password field

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. So strange.

Is it changing on purpose everyday?

Like that record was being rotated on rival

[coarse dagger]

Not necessarily. There could be some puzzle related to the QR code and red dot we have to solve first.

[unborn pilot]

I completely forgot about the red dot

And that number

[river flame]

#easter-eggs message

This is how will find the fourth theme

We have to find something that relates to one of the three

[snow walrus]

Hey this is not a game demo, its a audio plugin

Could be a relation with ymh?

[coarse dagger]

Hmm... What if it's a fake "internal" company QR code, a fiducial marker for tracking Holtow's insurance claims and the ID on the side is the claim ID?

We've had clues to fiducial markers in the past (confirmed by Rob).

The squarespace message on the website suggests the whole domain is down, so I don't think there anything at a subdomain or a path we could navigate to.

[hoary compass]

Unsure if you've access to it already but here's the sitemap for every link on the site; https://www.reachthefinals.com/sitemap.xml

[coarse dagger]

It's incomplete. Sitemaps are set by the site maintainers, so Rob's hidden certain things

[hoary compass]

Have you used a spider?

[coarse dagger]

Not really in the spirit of the hunt. That's been deemed brute forcing. (Although I'm not sure of the origin of our rules)

[hoary compass]

Ah right that's fair, I'll avoid that

mb

So I've read through the community wiki for this and the latest is tier 3 correct?

After T2 being completed leading to the two images

[snow walrus]

For level 2 yes

[unborn pilot]

Latin Phrase: Victoria Regina et Imperatrix (VRI) - Victoria, Queen and Empress.

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/vri

that's the most interesting thing I could find on VRI

[hoary compass]

Aswell as the practice range having the name Colonel Bellando De Castro titled beside the door, lived around the same era

If it helps

[unborn pilot]

ty

[hoary compass]

So idk if I'm making things up here or looking at it wrong but the 6 is there again, c is 100 and then the I which is 1 again

T O R & A have no number associated with them

[south wyvern]

First time Las Vegas Sandstorm. That's impressive, Rob

[hoary compass]

So out of order it adds up to 107?

[hoary compass]

Woah that looks crazy

[lapis condor]

Is there a list of all the discord messages Rob has eye reacted for tier 3?

[half bolt]

Just look up eyes in this channel and you’ll find majority of it

What’s stood out the most to me is golden egg and tama wearing a helmet

also I think golden egg might be instead a golden clue

So egg might be the clue instead of golden egg

There’s an emoji on the server with tama wearing a helmet

[coarse dagger]

They were so sparse I haven't been documenting them. I usually add them to the bottom of the Padlet.

@full token was thinking about compiling a list of Rob 👀 message links if I didn't get to it first (because I'm still playing catch-up trying to document all the Photoshop); so you might check to see if they have anything (but they also have IRL finals at the moment)

If anyone would like to compile a list of the 👀 links for the tier I'd be glad to add them to the Padlet.

[lapis condor]

oh, interesting to note, a Jack card is sometimes referred to as a Knave which would make sense for the egg

also

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_Clubs_Creek

"It was mined and yielded about $450,000 in gold"

[coarse dagger]

which would make sense for the egg
Why is that?

[lapis condor]

The egg is dressed as a Knave / knight

[coarse dagger]

Ah I see, I thought they were synonymous:

The word 'Jack' was in common usage in the 16th and 17th centuries to mean any generic man or fellow, as in Jack-of-all-trades (one who is good at many things), Jack-in-the-box (a child's toy), or Jack-in-the-Pulpit (a plant).

The term became more entrenched in card play when, in 1864, American cardmaker Samuel Hart published a deck using "J" instead of "Kn" to designate the lowest-ranking court card. The knave card had been called a jack as part of the terminology of the game All Fours since the 17th century, but this usage was considered common or low class.

[unborn pilot]

@coarse dagger i made one a couple days ago #easter-eggs message

[lapis condor]

the guitar has some text on the back I cant read on my monitor, anyone have it in game yet?

something like
blablabla
01/1

[coarse dagger]

Added those, but don't think that's an exhaustive list

[half bolt]

There’s a knave in Hamlet

[tulip matrix]

Monty Python reference maybe

[half bolt]

I’ve got the book somewhere so I can give it a read and see if I can find any refs

[tulip matrix]

inb4 new map: Camelot

There is a version of the Black Knight called Brunor the Black that appears in the Iseult/Tristan legend

[half bolt]

Shit one night three dawns I’ve been so stupid Christmas carol ref

Scrooge experienced three different Christmas days in the span on one night. Past, present and future

Could also be a reference to hamlet scene 5 act 3

[lapis condor]

"There’s ne'er a villain dwelling in all Denmark But he’s an arrant knave."

[half bolt]

With my initial thought of a Christmas carol charles dickens I believe also wrote a book called the goose that lays golden eggs

[lapis condor]

The Hamlet quote bout a Knave is referencing Claudius

[lapis condor]

ironically the Knave is the King, but the King card's K is backwards in the same trailer

[unborn pilot]

Lapis from earlier clues appears in Vegas

Grandstand is like an arena so could be something around “stone arena”

The other one i came across was Rutile

[pure loom]

it's a main feature

You can see it well here

named after Mackenzie Lapis

[unborn pilot]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutile

[unborn pilot]

Oh interesting

[pure loom]

I'll find the reference

[unborn pilot]

Also i noticed Rob mentioned graffiti so I’ve been looking most are hard to read.

[pure loom]

Mackenzie Lapis, CEO of Volpe

[unborn pilot]

This one had a bunch of writing close together but besides VR Virtual the only thing that stands out is E+R maybe.

[unborn pilot]

Do you think all the other Lapis clues are just to tie to Mackenzie and it ends there or the other way around?

[pure loom]

probably a mix given it means "stone"

[hasty anvil]

Every time I walk past this I always look lol, there’s a bunch of graffiti that side of the map

[hard current]

do you guys remember the paper of robs signatures

[unborn pilot]

There is but after a while you realize most repeat. Including that one i saw it on a side of a wall later

Btw on that note. I did not know there are 6 whiteboards.

Both same but repeat in 3 locations

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. Is that one of them?

Death By Rhodent is hardest working band in the universe. Even during sandstorms with the city deserted they’re rocking.

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

Top left looks like a really faint face

Head and shoulders, I can’t unsee it

[unborn pilot]

might be due to how the lighting was of the map, or even sand. that one is really easy to find, it's on the outer edge of the map on the door right above the Rhodent poster. i'll probably try and grab another pic in different lighting.

[hasty anvil]

Next time I get it I’ll see if I can spot it, but I can see eyes, nose, mouth, shoulders so clear haha

I don’t think it’s lighting it really looks like something

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, looks like graffiti which has been poorly painted over or powerwashed off

[hasty anvil]

Definitely needs checking if someone manages to get the time in a game

[hard current]

thank you I couldn’t find it

[coarse dagger]

This is the search I did: signature in: easter-eggs from: rob_embark

[north crag]

look what i found in the files ||/s||

[unborn pilot]

Got a better close up here. It’s definitely N 1, P 1 and W 2 on the first triangle. The top one is most likely 3 but still looks like a 5 maybe.

[hybrid summit]

hey yall im new to the chat. whats the overall objective here? I understand finding clues and codes but is there a place to enter them?

Hello

[unborn pilot]

@jade citrus 100% a face there

[jade citrus]

looks like a guy looking over his shoulder

[unborn pilot]

also there's an inverted version on a piece of wood nearby

managed to grab them and win the game haha

[jade citrus]

kinda reminds me of the BF1 cover art, not an exact match tho

[regal lintel]

Still here, lol. Don't want to burst the bubble on this one, but there is a possibility that rob is referring to the 6 on the card. Not the fun medieval reference.

[regal lintel]

Was looking at that, and it gave me inspiration about the connections that could be there... but I suspect are a giant over-think.

Triangle one's connection AD: Space. Galileo, Oval shaped. (He confirmed the earth was a sphere.)

Triangle two's connection BE: Chemistry. Atomic number, and chemical formula.

Triangle three's connection CF: Latin?! Maaaaybe? Golden Angle (latin math) and vitellus a latin word?

[pure loom]

The 6 and ace could have meaning (as-in coded), but given that we had two face cards appear in the trailer before this one (NamaTama king and Robotama), both of which we have seen previously, I would say that the image on the face card is what's most important here.

[hybrid summit]

i just watched the beginner video. this is intense

[regal lintel]

yup for sure, just toooosssin' out ma' two cents. You could be 100% correct. lol

[pure loom]

Plus putting NamaTama in a full great helm helmet has made it deliberately hard for us to see what it is

[pure loom]

welcome!

[unborn pilot]

That’s interesting. I had a couple ideas on it. 1. P = Password 2. P = Planet. But I’m leaning more towards “password”

[hybrid summit]

exciteed

[pure loom]

great! There's lots of solving to be done haha. It's worth having a look through #egg-hunt-onboarding as well if you haven't already

[hybrid summit]

first place i looked. Ima gonna go through all the pins now. try and get caught up

[regal lintel]

so some things I've been thinking about tonight, have been combining the numbers of GOLD and EGG together, and popping them in numeral style. There was some theories I read early on about how we actually know a fair bit about G, O, E, but the L and D, we don't really know. But that wasn't highlighted by rob.

I've also been thinking about golden marble, or golden chalk or golden shells...

[lapis condor]

He also gave an eye react to another image that had just the Jack on it

[regal lintel]

ah ok, thanks!
