easter-eggs

[lapis condor]

I was contemplating the Knave as an interpretation of it

Interestingly, found this telling of the golden goose tale

“And then the gold egg Was thrown into the sea;
The knave got the goose,
Which he vowed he'd kill, Resolving at once
But Jack he jumped in,
And got it back presently. His pockets to fill.
so
Jack's mother came in,
And caught the goose soon,
And mounting its back, Flew up to the moon.”

But uh, in the original telling they used a worse word than knave 😅

[unborn pilot]

Here's the number loop I'm on. I started working backwards from our clues and it just gets strange.

1063:
0 6 3 / O G E / 0 vi iii were all in the last five puzzles
A single ? question mark is 063 in ASCII (last clues we got)
A double ?? Is 2047 in Unicode
2047 is an octal of 1063
1063 was on the namatama lapis tone statue as a chronogram cipher

1064:
1064 was the first answer
1064 also spells LOGD (GOLD using logic we know from now from last puzzles and L33T)
1064 Celsius = 1337 kelvin = L33T
1064 is exactly one off from 1063

[regal lintel]

damn that's good

[unborn pilot]

i could see the password being some combination of those 5 numbers 1 0 6 4 3, but likely at least 6-8 letters/numbers

[regal lintel]

so mayyyyyybe it does have to do with the golden goose tale?!

shit hahaha

quick! what's the 6th word of the tale!

lol

But what does the golden goose tale have to do with space? lol

moon... nvm

[lapis condor]

Latin for goose

Anser

The last image clue from the previous tier was “question”

[regal lintel]

LOL

Oh man... that would be fuuuuuuunnny

tried a few combos, nothing yet

golden answer?

tried a few combos of that... nothing.

viold3nans3r3m

[coarse dagger]

?? -> question
Anser -> answer

[unborn pilot]

Haha i tried that a while ago and a couple variants but maybe not all. #easter-eggs message

[forest shoal]

i figured out the golden egg thing in the patch notes and i was so excited to share my discovery but it turns out i was way too slow lol

[daring bluff]

this might actually be skyway and the trailer just cuts to make it look like monaco

[sharp flame]

The whole room seems new

SR 👀, those look like dragons..

#easter-eggs message EE confirm here 🤣

[vagrant bridge]

a company in the range "sponsored" the finals called volpe meaning fox or could it be a reference to a pro baseball/football player?

to find it have a look at the last trophy in the practice range

[coarse dagger]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Sponsors

[vagrant bridge]

ok cool just was wondering cuz i heard the word tossed around somewhere

[coarse dagger]

I just experienced the same noise; this time on Vegas:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU4vJoMCiak

[daring bluff]

Oo

[coarse dagger]

Still not sure if it's a bug or potentially EE related

[daring bluff]

oh that was a double

hmm

i feel like it's so "specific" sounding that it has to be EE related

[daring bluff]

so your squadmates didn't hear it?

[coarse dagger]

They did

[daring bluff]

that decreases the likelihood it was a bug

[coarse dagger]

I have my teammates audio on the wrong channel (super awesome that you can set the voice chat output device in game BTW), so it didn't get recorded with Nvidia

[coarse dagger]

Not necessarily, it just means the bug is server side

[daring bluff]

yeah or a part of the environment, but same thing

i just mean it knocks out the possibility it was a client side issue, which would have to be a bug

[coarse dagger]

It's interesting that it repeated when I heard it (4 beeps) but only played the sequence once when shroud heard it (one beep)

[serene pike]

it's now just a miscofigured squarespace site. really unprofessional tbh misconfigued squaerspace site is not a good look for an arg. even a default nginx page would be better.

[fallen jasper]

What the butt is an nginx

I can't imagine they'd focus that much on fleshing out the arg so quickly due to other problems with the game as well as wanting people to not solve it so quickly

[serene pike]

HTTP server software, the main competitor to Apache (most websites use either Nginx or Apache)

[half bolt]

Layer the photos over eachother

4 aces and two jokers in a deck of cards

[half bolt]

Could be a brothers grimm reference they took a lot of interest in Shakespeares work

[simple plinth]

[hollow falcon]

you can buy the site and put ads here >:D

[tacit wedge]

tripwire?

[modest rain]

that little face is everywhere

[snow walrus]

This mask?

[coarse dagger]

It's sandstorm.... And the shroud clip is on Seoul

[snow walrus]

Whats the thing behind the king namatama

2 robatama is better than 1 robatama

[runic grove]

Ohhhhhh

[sour tree]

[elder osprey]

Seems like a thread worth following. Can you incorporate some of the clues that have been 👀'd in the last couple weeks?

[tulip matrix]

There's no suit so I think he's actually the Joker haha

[novel horizon]

Holy damn, i just found out about this hunt and i loved it. I didnt quite get it, but looks insanly cool

[analog kettle]

i just found out that you can shoot the cannons on the maps with cannons idk if this is an Easter egg but it did feel like one

[snow walrus]

shooting is not directly but cannons are

[analog kettle]

what do you mean by the cannons are but not the shooting cannons?

[unique spruce]

anything we need to revisit from this post, possibly?

[novel horizon]

Are we Trying to see anythin on the question Marks Photos? im kinda lost on where to see the progress and clues already found

[snow walrus]

I'm not sure we can shoot the cannons has any meaning but cannons are in Monaco already a thing
#easter-eggs message

[snow walrus]

why this post exclusively

[unique spruce]

i was just looking through past posts from rob and noticed the "remember" note pointing at the PTE > CNS

[snow walrus]

ah yes.. we don't know pte == cns meaning yet right if if i didnt miss anything about it

[unique spruce]

right, and i had forgotten about it so i assume we collectively likely did

[snow walrus]

cns walks around behind the walls like🕵️🕵️🕵️

[tacit wedge]

yeah no way it’s a bug, same tone, but it happens twice

check skyway and monaco

i bet one will be 3 and another will be 4

@coarse dagger do you have a recording of that whole match?

[tacit wedge]

there’s a lot going on there, maybe there’s some keys we’re missing

[tacit wedge]

substitution of some sort maybe?

we might need the rotation/translation values too, maybe even the file name, but that’s difficult to make out

[elder cave]

when they change te item shop?

[unique spruce]

also don't understand the significance of the x=s and y=b. if x = s and also e = s then e = x, right?

[tacit wedge]

you talking about the whiteboard?

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message periodic table, P = C, T = N, E = S, X = S, Y = B. If both E and X = S, then E = X

[tacit wedge]

yup i saw that now

it could relate to the whiteboard, that had some of the same variables

but the whiteboard could also be something related to the golden ratio

[unique spruce]

one thing to note is that if P = C then C is also = P, and so on for the others

i would think

[lapis condor]

did any of the hints in that image help answer previous tiers already?

[tacit wedge]

i think so

i’m gonna watch the recap and go through the padlets later today

[lapis condor]

i tried going through the padlets but it gave me a headache lmao

[snow walrus]

flag, the sign and 32 BIS

any idea?

[lapis condor]

i think they found the real world location awhile back

its a street in real monaco

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipM8qtfbllVqTYPE-6qUWqsvJyZ8e7yOF217VG1e=w408-h306-k-no

[upper smelt]

Not fake Monaco?

[regal lintel]

OH ok, damn. I forgot since last night, and I had a screenshot of it... But there are a series of possible dollar wins on the golden slot machine in vegas. Can anyone grab a screenshot of that?

[lapis condor]

as opposed to in-game Monaco 😛

looks familiar tho!

[tacit wedge]

yeah, saw that last night, didn’t think it was important

[pure loom]

Yeah, I agree. I think someone else mentioned that too. I’ve edited my post.

[lapis condor]

its the rough address of the real world cathedral the Monaco one in game is based on

[pure loom]

You used to be able to rotate them left or right a bit too (in the Closed Alpha). That was fun!

[tacit wedge]

what’s with the barely visible cards?

[pure loom]

You mean the holographic-looking ones? I guess that’s reflecting that THE FINALS is a virtual reality arena. Or did you mean something else?

[tacit wedge]

yeah, the hologram ones, there aren’t that many though so it might be worth jotting down

maybe it relates to the 2 parts for tier 3 pass

holo is one side, normal is the other

[pure loom]

Yeah, we should note all the card values. The numbered ones could provide a clue alongside that “knight jack”

[tacit wedge]

we might have an order too

the casinos have some patterns with the suits

do the roulette wheels all have the proper order?

[strong quarry]

will the game ever have a map selector? if i have to play vegas one more time I will run out of respawn coins IRL

[tacit wedge]

theres an american, european and french variation, but maybe these don’t match any, or they do match a variation and they could give us clues

[tacit wedge]

not yet

[strong quarry]

damn i used the wrong channel, sorry guys

[lapis condor]

NRESSTEPE

[tacit wedge]

from what i can tell it’s american, but it might have mismatched order

[tacit wedge]

?

[hidden basin]

what do we do

if you get the thing?

a rewards?

[regal lintel]

damn, can't post an image, but I got it

[hidden basin]

Do we get a reward seaA?

[regal lintel]

GRAND: $24,285.96.
MAJOR: $5,791
MINOR: $751
MINI: $21.25

[regal lintel]

for solving this?

[hidden basin]

yea

[regal lintel]

the satisfaction of solving it I guess? lol. I'm not doing this for a reward. I'm doing this because I love ARG's and puzzles

[tacit wedge]

i guess you get recognition

[hidden basin]

oh...im tryna get a skin i dont wanna buy none

[tacit wedge]

maybe a role

[lapis condor]

was typing while in game to take note, these are the greyed out letters in the signs alongside one of the casinos

theres a casino that has signs that say CRAPS KENO ROULLETE etc but one letter in each word has its lights dimmed

[tacit wedge]

pte and s might be substituted

not sure what to use for n and r

P T E S
C N S X
E

not sure if s is substituted with x or e

[crisp echo]

Goodluck guys

[ivory fractal]

Hey I’m new here. What’s the whole Easter egg thing on?

[lusty aurora]

Hi guys, Im actualy looking through Kyne Padlet to learn where are the EE research for now but im a bit lost, wat represent the levels and tier exactly ?

[snow walrus]

-egghunt

[lusty aurora]

?

[snow walrus]

-egghunt

What the

[lusty aurora]

ahaha

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[lusty aurora]

I mean I just readed all of that, now im looking on the different links but i dont understant levels and tiers

I assume level 2 tier 3 is the newest but how to read thoses differents pages on padlet ?

damn didnt saw the video mb thnx ❤️

[snow walrus]

i think wiki and video explains well but if you still have questions we are here everytime

Good hunting! 🥚

[pure loom]

do you know which casino this is in?

[lapis condor]

Not off the top of my head but I think it was a building next to or across from Glamora

Interesting tidbit about the backwards King in the trailer

“A strikeout looking (where the batter does not swing at a pitch that the umpire then calls strike three) is often scored with a backwards K (ꓘ),”

[night garnet]

idk if anyone has pointed this out but on the outside of the las vegas map there are people talking in one of the buildings, idk what they are saying. I just heard it mid game and thought i should leave that info here

[river flame]

I remember something like that being discussed before, so you could scroll up and see if it has.

[lapis condor]

Could simply indicate the password needs to be typed in backwards

[pure loom]

Yeah, if you keep listening beside the wall in the alleyway you can hear the band Death By Rodent is playing a gig and talking (it's loudest where their poster is)

[river flame]

Interesting

[pure loom]

Here are the images of all the words on the outside of Argon Casino - some of them are hard to tell of they letters are dimmed or not

that should be in order from left to right

(some overlap there of course)

a couple of number variations on the dumpsters

the image of the figure amongst the graffiti

A clear shot of the SR graffiti on Monaco

[sonic mantle]

It may be off topic but I heard the male voice announcer mention that he used to participate in the Finals.

[pure loom]

Yeah, Scotty was a former contestant. @solar glade knows all the lore on this

A clear shot of "51.2" written on the timber of the pergola on Monaco

[sharp flame]

Just like Scotty - Win a round without dying once - Achievement

[tacit wedge]

Some useful tools:
https://public.websites.umich.edu/~umfandsf/symbolismproject/symbolism.html/
https://www.symbols.com
https://symbolikon.com

[pure loom]

And "125" on the righthand upright

[tacit wedge]

backward k is also called a kaf (kaph)

[pliant owl]

The number most likely represent measurements of the timber

51.2 is equal to 1300mm

in inches that is

[pure loom]

yeah, that would be about right in size too

[pliant owl]

125 in is 3175mm

[pure loom]

Light for scale haha

[pliant owl]

I do think this might point towards a hint in the vicinity?

"Walk in the park"

Park area in monaco

[pure loom]

It's possible

Here's a clearer shot of the location for those that haven't seen it before

[pliant owl]

I just hope that if there's a hint it's not hidden in the bushes

Because every match the park ends up like the pits of hell

With everything burning

Including me

[pure loom]

Possible Morse on these boxes (which are on the right in the image above). ..- = U and -.. = D

maybe up and down?

[narrow sentinel]

are there any free tools out there to analyze a youtube video for embedded clues or obvious manipulation?

[abstract coral]

That would go against the rules/spirit of the hunt.

[quaint wing]

#egg-hunt-onboarding check out the picture. There's tools on thebottom left of the picture!

Things are hidden in the official videos/ artwork usually... unless Saint Rob says otherwise

[pure loom]

You can use GIMP as a free substitute for Photoshop for looking at images

And you can step through YouTube videos frame-by-frame using the , and . keys

[narrow sentinel]

thanks...this is actually for a different hunt where they posted a long youtube video with some weirdness going on. was hoping there was some website or program to analyze like there are for images

[turbid tinsel]

you could use davinci resolve, scary to look at but pretty simple after you use it. i dont do much video analyzing but there are some effects you can apply to videos

its free as well

if you need a quick run through just shoot me a dm

[river flame]

I hope they're clues in Las Vegas: It's such a pretty level!

[verbal dune]

Pretty but very hard and open

[bleak kayak]

Insane

[jade citrus]

I'm gonna add this to the EE wiki page, what map is this on? (or is it on all maps?)

[turbid tinsel]

i think its vegas if im not mistaken. havent noticed trash bags in other levels but not actively looking for them either lol.

[pure loom]

It's on the Vegas map. I can provide close up images too

You can see the money-fly in this one better

[umbral hatch]

Hum

[pure loom]

I'm assuming this is the word "SPACE" but kinda squashed up. Look right?

[pure loom]

Maybe an initial? I'm not which artist would sign off only with an S - probably not Rob or Esbjorn

Or Es could be for Esbjorn

wrong channel

[lunar gale]

ah shit, mb.

[pure loom]

all good 😉

[proud cliff]

has anyone looked into the QR code in the M11 HOLTOW FINE PRINT bundle? nothing came up for me, maybe someone else will see something with the QR code or other code on the sticker

[coarse dagger]

Search Holtow in:easter-eggs or QR in: easter-eggs

[golden junco]

So I just read through the patch notes the bold letters, I'm sure everyone here has already seen it. But apparently it spells out "Golden Egg" right?

[coarse dagger]

#1182846481485549668 or search bold in: easter-eggs

[pure loom]

correct - we think related to the current tier we're trying to solve

[unborn pilot]

So @coarse dagger @pure loom I think i got out a portion of that really long number from the namatama image

This one

Split into pairs:
(313, 82)
(444, 84)
(576, 110)
(112, 264)
(231, 292)
(444, 232)

Add up all the second numbers in order and you get 1064 (rearrange to 6014 = GOLD)
82+84+110+264+292+232 = 1064

[golden junco]

So I'm just getting into this, and I found the tfee - level 2 webpage from here, the tiers all have x's, but some show photos while the top 2 show question marks. Are the ones with images solved? And if so, are the codes under the x the password that was used?

[unborn pilot]

i'm sure you can see where this is going lol

Add up all the first numbers in order & multiply by 3 you get 6360 (arrange to 0366 = EGG)
313+444+576+112+231+444 = 2120 * 3 = 6360

[pure loom]

Oh, this is good

[unborn pilot]

using the logic on both we also get 3192 (1064 x 3)
3 1 92 was Greatful Dead at Omni
Omni = latin for "everything" (haha)

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[unborn pilot]

2120 could be for end of Mayan Calendar maybe. Dec 20 2012

[pure loom]

Then we gotta figure out the Morse that's with the numbers

[unborn pilot]

whaaa

there's morse too?

[pure loom]

look at the dots between the numbers

some are one pixel, some are two

[unborn pilot]

blowing my mind now. im about to look

[pure loom]

@unborn pilot what do you get adding up the 3rd numbers?

(where there are 3rd numbers)

[unborn pilot]

there's only 2 orders

aka a pair of numbers

[lament fable]

yo is there somewhere I can report a player other than ingame

cause uhhh

[unborn pilot]

so it was more like List A and List B

[lament fable]

this dude wasn't even hiding the fact he was trolling

[pure loom]

I don't think so.

[lament fable]

damn all good

[unborn pilot]

not here for sure cause no staff looks in this room, but submit a ticket / bug report maybe.

[pure loom]

oh, I misunderstood - that makes sense now

[unborn pilot]

he eyeballed it was a weird way of writing coordinates that i think you may have said

so for weeks been looking at them as (x,y) or (x,y,z)

[pure loom]

I wonder if we can use something like this to help work out the Morse. There's no spaces, which makes it super hard

[coarse dagger]

Sir this is the easter egg chat

[lament fable]

lol message won't get buried in this chat and if anyone knows what corner has another report button, it'd be the EE hunters

[coarse dagger]

That's taking advantage of us and our chat, which we do not appreciate

[lament fable]

I appreciate your time and effort, therefore, I will provide you with the simple words golden egg

do what you will with this info

[pure loom]

interesting, guess which movie franchise features a Las Vegas Fremont Street alleyway scene... https://youtu.be/ntqVNYqmf5g?si=jZdLPwaCwJ6pAxO1&t=212

[unborn pilot]

i'm not 100% sure that 3192 is 3 1 92 = Greatful Dead @ Omni = "every"/"all" in latin and 2120 is for 2012/12 = end of mayan calendar = date, but those two were the first interesting things i found right away. Usually random numbers lead to pages of scrolling, but these didn't really.

[fleet current]

Is there a collection of all finds?

[pure loom]

the best place to start is here: #egg-hunt-onboarding

[fleet current]

I’ll look into it, Tysm^^

[pure loom]

Also, if you want to join in the hunt, feel free to ask questions once you've read/watched the intro info. The more EE hunters we have, the better

[fleet current]

o7

[hard current]

@unborn pilot how did you even begin to figure out that number sequence

hilarious that yet again rob had the answer in front of us this whole time for those tiers

you think it could also be what leads us to the final tier answer?

[unborn pilot]

@hard current bro i tried mapping them on the moon and then in the end it was just add the numbers up lol

[tame maple]

I can finally send images here, so I'll be more into the easteregg hunt ❤️

[hard current]

you’re toooo smart

so it pointed to 1064 and EGG in the end

when was that pic from again? what tier

[unborn pilot]

between my brother and i we just go back and forth with ideas on how to solve them and something starts to 'click' eventually.

[jade citrus]

T1F

[hard current]

why would a pic from the last tier before the split include 1064….

[tame maple]

We couldn't solve the T3 yet??

Hmm

[hard current]

we had already solved it at that point

… @unborn pilot imo the fact you found 1064 and EGG in that number sequence makes me think it may also be a way to this tier password

why else would 1064 be brought up again except to tie it all together

[unborn pilot]

i'm starting to think it's to point that 1064 is leet for GOLD as was 366 for EGG

[hard current]

and that coukd clue to e=3 = vit3llus?

[unborn pilot]

rob said there would be things to understand later in those Tier 1 A B tiers

[tame maple]

You guys remember xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx code?

Those codes we are finding might be the

[unborn pilot]

which one?

[tame maple]

Answer to the dash one

[hard current]

FIND PSW XXXX-XX-XX you mean?

[tame maple]

This image

[hard current]

what’s that from??

[unborn pilot]

not solved, but is "older"

it was recently found, but word is that was in the beta

bottom of a can @hard current

[tame maple]

Ah alr

[hard current]

interesting

[unborn pilot]

doesn't mean it's not important.

[hard current]

hey @unborn pilot what if it’s just 1064-33-66

[tame maple]

Did we ever come up with like the alphabet chart here?

[hard current]

[tame maple]

Or is every alphabet Cypher is cyphered differently?

[hard current]

so far all translations have been leet for the most part

in the final passwords of DEF

e = 3, o = 0, g =6 is all leet

[tame maple]

If more than 3 Cypher types are found, making a chart is no point

So

[hard current]

there was a pig pen cipher

I think is what it was called

in an older tier

[unborn pilot]

actually scratch that roman numerals for 79 wich was gold

[unborn pilot]

try it. i probably did, but i am really bad at writing them all down in one place.

[tame maple]

3 = E
6 = G
0 = O..

0 (O)
1
2
3 (E)
4
5
6 (G)
7
8
9

Maybe we have to make a separate chart so it's easier to translate in the future?

[hard current]

it was not that:(

[tame maple]

Is it not?

[hard current]

so far it seems to just be leet

[unborn pilot]

that already follows l33t for sure

[tame maple]

Oh alr

[unborn pilot]

that's good. that could be a truth

[hard current]

I wish all the numbers from the tiers easily translated to leet:/

[unborn pilot]

leet and latin

[hard current]

I had a similar thought right before the game dropped and it got drowned lol

[unborn pilot]

we just know that on the opposite side
(iii) 3 (E)
(iv) 6 (G)
(null or zero?) 0 (O)

[hard current]

it’s silly cause in leet wiki all I can connect is that leet is a translation for the latin (roman) alphabet

https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

[tame maple]

1064-33-66 = 965

XD

😂😂😂

I tried 965

Didn't work

[hard current]

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)

rob loved this list and I still can’t figure out why

[tame maple]

What does 0vifOrm (00) mean

[hard current]

to leet:
1064 = IOGA
79 = Tg
51372 = SIETR
00 = oo
3 = E
3 = E
6 = G
66 = GG

IOGATgSIETRooEEGGG

[hard current]

that was a password for one of the tiers, the 00 is the numbers that are in the password

[tame maple]

I see

[unborn pilot]

"end" makes sense, but the "front" seems like it needs "something" haha

[hard current]

what you mean??

[turbid tinsel]

what if we just had to use number that looked like letters to spell gold egg

6014 366

[unborn pilot]

like 0 6 3 are correct at the end, but the first part is missing something or doesn't need something.

[tame maple]

But the phrase gold egg is just a introductory phrase that was saying "yes this is part of the egg"?

[hard current]

I’m seeing “10” L in leet speak wiki

or 1

[tame maple]

601[)366

Lol

[hard current]

601D 366

[turbid tinsel]

601d3n366 and 601d366 no dice

what if those numbers, we then convert into roman numerals

[unborn pilot]

that's what ive been trying

[hard current]

it’d have to be 60 instead of 6 and 0

or 601

[unborn pilot]

"ovi" is a form of ovum/egg and could be 06

[hard current]

technically correct

[unborn pilot]

i tried MLXIVOVI a few min ago but no luck

mlxiv is 1064 and then just ovi

[tame maple]

Damn l33t is hard

6[]1_[)366 tried

[unique spruce]

why don't you have 6 on 0vif0rm and vit3llus?

[hard current]

list is only compiling outright numbers

that were present and known at the time of solving

I have another list somewhere up there that includes those you mentioned

[unique spruce]

5 of them have a 6 in it if you count all the vi numerals

[hazy pike]

s/ man, this easter egg business is easy...

[sharp flame]

Vegas iirc haha

[vivid rose]

you gotta see trough egg

[rancid ocean]

Does holtow.com actually go anywhere? My broadband provider blocks it lol

[coarse dagger]

Not yet

[rancid ocean]

Found the QR on the sticker

Ah word, keen for whatever story, world building they have planned

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[sudden sparrow]

maybe the code is in one of the buildings ingame in room 1064? and ovi is just the hint in which one

[tacit wedge]

maybe has:file too

[tacit wedge]

converting 444 to decimal results in 292, which is in the right side

[sage orbit]

Check all las vegas rooms👽...

[timid solstice]

Personally i think this is a diamond clue

it was posted in chat not in #official-art

and was a bit out of context

[short barn]

QR code leads to the holtow site. But as of now, it's unreachable.

[quiet moat]

Might be because of the red dot

Could be messing with the qr code

[short barn]

Good point

[quiet moat]

There’s some sort of serial number on it as well

[short barn]

Never bothered to look at it

[quiet moat]

People have already discovered this but nobody has found what it means

[sharp flame]

VRI has a few meanings

my speculation is VR Insurance but they do insurance irl so idk

[quiet moat]

I don’t think that’d be it

Wait

[sharp flame]

Has anyone actually bought the Holtow bundle and is willing to record the inspect/reload animations

I don't know anyone who's bought it

[quiet moat]

I haven’t

[lapis condor]

That’s what Holtow is, so it’s not far fetched

[quiet moat]

I guess

But I don’t think VRI is the direct meaning of it

[lapis condor]

I think someone translated the numbers to the founder of the company

[short barn]

That would be me

Do note, the receipt only prints on whoever you took out

The inspect animation has your contestant looking closely to the printer like so, and continues to inspect as long you hold down the inspect button.

Reloading on both empty and tactical remains the same

Also that's a funny name for an insurance claim and I'm glad I caught that.

But if you do want the recording, I would gladly do that too

[sharp flame]

Recording would be sick! Yknow apparently it prints out the name of the person you just killed

[quiet moat]

What if you scanned the barcode on the receipt

[sharp flame]

Great point

[short barn]

it's alright if I post the recording here?

[quiet moat]

Yes

[short barn]

One moment while I edit the match clips

[quiet moat]

Can you get a clearer picture of the numbers below the barcode

[short barn]

unsure if readable, my monitor goes up to 1080p

[sharp flame]

LMFAOOOO

[short barn]

I work with what I got

[sharp flame]

Their name 😭😭

[short barn]

Yeah it prints out the name to whoever you took out

[sharp flame]

Love that, I know I'm asking a lot, but could you do it again with a more readable name

We can use it in the finals wiki

[short barn]

Short clip

[solar glade]

that's actually amazing, thanks for sharing

[snow walrus]

Wow

[quiet moat]

So I checked who owns www.holtow.com and it is

[snow walrus]

Barcode is the same i guess

[quiet moat]

Gandi SAS

[short barn]

I think the receipt also rips off when you reload.

[snow walrus]

Embark owns

[quiet moat]

No crap

Lmao

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[quiet moat]

It’s a French domain company

It’s rented by the finals

Honestly don’t see anything to do with embark on it

[short barn]

I'll leave this here too since the receipt tears itself off in order to print a new one.

Just realized that's in the first clip, disregard this clip

[snow walrus]

Registrant organization is embark

[quiet moat]

It’s not

It doesn’t refer to embark at all

[half bolt]

May of found something on one of the stickers

It kinda looks like a triangle on his hand

[quiet moat]

Yeah triangles are a reoccurring theme

[quiet moat]

That is edited

[half bolt]

So a lot of stuff that’s being pointed out is stuff we’ve gone over recently

[quiet moat]

Maybe not I’ll check with another domain checker

[snow walrus]

???

[quiet moat]

Yeah nvm the domain info finder I had going wasn’t giving me the organization

[lapis condor]

thats the domain provider, pretty big one

[quiet moat]

Yeah I know, I just can’t get the barcode scanned

Can anybody else

[lapis condor]

cant get it to scan, but the numbers are 9706294800150

I'm fairly sure

[short barn]

9706294000150

One of those 0s could be 8 though, unsure

[lapis condor]

theres a 9 on the far left

[short barn]

Oh, I see it

[timid solstice]

I think these barcode skins were the inside joke at the time of these comments...

[golden fox]

i tryed to read all the scrolling texte in credits menu but found nothing interesting

[lapis condor]

The random punctuation in the scroll text really throws me off, I think there might be something there

[golden fox]

gl try to count them, (morse code ?)

[lapis condor]

someone here uploaded them to youtube so you can watch them at 2x speed

[snow walrus]

i think its 250

[snow walrus]

at least on this one

[sharp flame]

ohh that's their name: "razor scooter to the ankles" lmao

[fleet current]

Has anyone tried editing and layering the question marks? With "Ques" on top of "tion"? I dont have the skills to do so 😅

[sharp flame]

there have been some attempts, but we can't see anything yet

[golden fox]

i cant put images here but there is something on the right side of the splash screen

[tacit wedge]

any possibility that we have to use another qr code somewhere as a key for some bitwise operation?

[tacit wedge]

my guess is it has something to do with aspect ratio

I layered the white one onto the gold, the sizes are different

i think i found something

[lapis condor]

the pictures on the wiki dont match the size of the official ones on the tier 2 site for some reason

straight from the tier 2 site theyre exact same size

might have to do with the URL's of the images

the gold question mark has "t1-f-1" for its URL which was the vit3llus puzzle

the white question mark has "t1-def" for its URL which is 0vif0rm and cacoiii and vit3llus

oh and someone pointed out before the t1-f-1 page has T1-ABC for its header

[tacit wedge]

the official white mark is approx. 3% smaller

vertically

same width

[lapis condor]

is it? on my computer its exact same size

oh you mean the question mark itself not the whole image

sorry my b

[tacit wedge]

wait no

[quiet moat]

There’s definitely something with the barcodes

[tacit wedge]

i scaled the white question mark image down by 3% to make it the same size

[quiet moat]

It can’t just be a inside joke and there’s definitely some secret behind them if it is

[lapis condor]

they both show as 750x414 when i downloaded them

[tacit wedge]

the images are the same size

the white question mark is larger

[lapis condor]

ohhhhh

[tacit wedge]

and the images should be 1149x635

[lapis condor]

straight from the official site or the wiki?

[tacit wedge]

site

[lapis condor]

bizarre

maybe a browser issue or something

[tacit wedge]

with the white mark scaled the image is 1149x611-628

what res is your monitor?

1080p?

weird

[lapis condor]

ok, i got the larger size ones to pop up manually, something weird with how squarespace displays the images

[tacit wedge]

oh, yeah, i opened in a new tab

[lapis condor]

i did that too but for some reason there was a "750" tag on the end of the url. I switched that to 1149 and got the bigger ones 😅

might be my browser being dumb

[quiet moat]

I’m super confused on how this has to do with a Easter egg

[lapis condor]

these two images are the exact clues / first step given for this tier

[hard current]

they’re compressed to hell, and have been analyzed to hell and back a month or so ago, tbh we currently don’t think there’s anything hidden in the images but it never hurts to try and keep looking:)

[quiet moat]

What 2 images?

[lapis condor]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-def
and
https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-f-1

[quiet moat]

It’s probably something to throw us off/ make us go slower

[hard current]

if you put the image in a jpg quantization table it’s SUPER compressed, so we doubt there’s anything hidden as compression would hide anything in it

[tacit wedge]

there's binary or smth hidden

[hard current]

where??

[tacit wedge]

go to the bit layers

through stegonline

[hard current]

I have been there but haven’t seen anything that clued to me binary, wanna send a pic!

[quiet moat]

If you remove the dot from the question mark it looks like the embark logo

[tacit wedge]

the gold one has some suspicious looking formations

[quiet moat]

🤷‍♂️

[hard current]

yeah I saw those a while back but couldn’t make anything of it:/ there’s a hashtag like symbol on the gold dot

and a few others in the bright areas of the gold question mark

[hard current]

but, we nobody could make anything out of them, we thought it ended up just being jpg artefacts due to compression

[tacit wedge]

top left

that doesnt look normal

im guessing it's a mask?

[quiet moat]

I can’t see anything irregular

Have you guys tried overlapping them

[tacit wedge]

that's what i mean

I think that the gold one is a mask

maybe it's embedded bits given a mask

also the black background on the gold mark has an rgb of (6,6,6)

[turbid tinsel]

thought it was weird this specific wall in vegas wasnt finished.

[quiet moat]

So there’s nothing on the gold checkmark

I’ve gone through ever adjustment and filte

[tacit wedge]

is 2015-11-06 the "find psw" password?

[quiet moat]

Idk

E6E6E6

Guys I found a shape of some sort on the white question mark at a threshold of 230

[tacit wedge]

share it

[quiet moat]

It’s not much but it’s interesting

It’s hella precise too

[tacit wedge]

nama tama's arm?

[quiet moat]

I thought it’s a little to specific of a shape

To not be a coincidence

[tacit wedge]

nvm not it's arm

maybe part of the shell though

[quiet moat]

Doubt it

[hidden nacelle]

😆

in the new bundle

[quiet moat]

Uh so is this an Easter egg?

[hidden nacelle]

gold has something to do with it ye

[quiet moat]

???

[hasty anvil]

is this gold clock? haha

[timber hull]

What's the hunt? How far are we

[chrome sun]

How can i join the tfee

[tacit wedge]

#egg-hunt-onboarding message

frames 4-8 of the burrw gif have varied widths

[jolly vapor]

anybody notice the bolded letters in the update log

whats up with that

[tacit wedge]

Less than 3 and greater than 9 are the same as 3

[tacit wedge]

clue, we haven't really connected it yet

the most obvious answer is aesop's fable with the goose that laid golden eggs

[jolly vapor]

not an ananagram?

dloenggg

[lapis condor]

we figured that was an anagram

of "goldenegg"

[jolly vapor]

oh there was two e's

that clears it up

[tulip matrix]

A perfect way to spend my The Day Before refund money

[jolly vapor]

have you tried looking at the CB2 golden egg sticker/the gold bars

i haven't really looked at too much in LV yet because i've only gotten the level a couple times and wanted to see the quirks

[tacit wedge]

everyone who bought that game should've been refunded the day before they bought it

[solar glade]

it also looks like Adobe program icons

[wide bluff]

You guys think there will be an easter egg when someone reaches 999 Kills with the Totalizer from the new Pack?

[solar glade]

these are also found in Art Deco Glamora in Las Vegas, probably a reused asset.

[pure loom]

New Video: “THE FINALS is an asset flip”

[pure loom]

I love that you looked at the flamingo below you! We will find it!

But what is it with you setting the pergolas on fire??

[solar glade]

it was a misclick HAHA

[snow walrus]

did you check any recent messages eyed?
just did:

[jagged yarrow]

any interesting easter eggs?

[lapis condor]

a few

😛

[quiet moat]

That’s 51-2

[pure loom]

Yeah, @pliant owl reckoned it’s a timber measurement, which makes sense given that it shows up on most of the beams and uprights (longer ones).

[quiet moat]

Yeah

Probably a fun detail

[tacit wedge]

actually it looks like 51*2

[pure loom]

could be 51 inch by 2 inch timber

[tacit wedge]

that was my guess at first but it looks a little too big to be 2 inches

and that's not how lumber is measured

it goes w*h

[quiet moat]

It looks like both from what I noticed

I see some looking more like minus and some like *

I wonder if the finals is occurring during a war

I get hella hunger games vibes from it

[main gust]

dot?

[tacit wedge]

yes

multiplication dot

[quiet moat]

Its def not a decimal because it’s too high up

Also all of the markings are in the exact same place as if they were cloned 👀

[tacit wedge]

vr game so not a surprise

[quiet moat]

But only the contestants are in vr

[hard current]

well if you look at the audience in the game

it actually looks like they’re on a screen and not actually there

[tacit wedge]

thats what i mean

[hard current]

yeah not in VR i see now;)

[quiet moat]

Well it’s also in a dome

Also we only see the characters load in

Never the map

[tacit wedge]

you do

[quiet moat]

And the characters when destroyed vanish

The map when destroyed doesn’t

[tacit wedge]

starting sequence

[quiet moat]

I don’t see the map load in ever?

[tacit wedge]

actually maybe the map is debatable

[quiet moat]

Contestants are obviously in vr

The people watching might not be or they could be watching on tv

[tacit wedge]

but even then, the propane tanks explode parts of the building, and those are virtual so how could it affect them unless the buildings are also virtual

[quiet moat]

How are they virtual?

They don’t respawn

[tacit wedge]

in the practice range you see the objects load in

and respawn

[quiet moat]

That’s the practice range

It’d cost to much money probably to make the practice range real

They don’t make money from contestants practicing

Honestly I’m not sure

You know what

We may both be right

Because you can destroy the buildings

But you can never destroy the ground

And the trees don’t burn

[solar glade]

CEOs plug in through VR as well, we can assume the same about Commentators. as for the audience, could be both VR and streaming

the Arenas (maps) are a simulation, so yes, they're in VR as well

[dense cradle]

why cant i post pics like u guys can

[tacit wedge]

need to be rising star or above

[dense cradle]

and how do we get that

[tacit wedge]

type -r in #🏆┇rank-check

i think you need level 3

[dense cradle]

well w/e anways i was trying to leave a match before and it said , "if you leave the match it will make nama tama sad"

not sure what is a nama tama

oh nvm its the egg thing

[turbid tinsel]

Noticed this weird looking effect in the latest trailed, slapped on a different filter and dont think ive seen i mentioned. this is after the insert coin page before embark logo.

also appears something is under the emabark lettering as well

[timber hull]

yeah i still dont understand like exactly what part of the hunt is left and what has been done

[tacit wedge]

did you check out the links?

[timber hull]

yeah

[tacit wedge]

so far we have tier 1 and 2 of level 2 done

as for tier 3, it's not super organized yet

but supposedly we have all we need to solve it

[timber hull]

how do u know when u have a password

[tacit wedge]

you try it

[timber hull]

like for the diamond clue thing the gif had the name of a chip in a sega console, would it be the chip name that would be a passcode or how do u go from there to findin the next step

just seems a bit random

[tacit wedge]

@turbid tinsel do we have a password format yet?

so far i don't think we've really solved the diamond clue but i could be wrong

as for finding the next step after the diamond clue, it's kind of just trial and error, unless you have a clue to indicate otherwise

but this stuff isnt linear

[timber hull]

alr

im honestly amazed we got as far as we did given how complicated these clues are

[tacit wedge]

trial and error is insanely effective with big groups

[quaint wing]

No password format yet. Just everything we need and people are still working on putting it together!

We know a lot of different things that CAN go together, and based on what Rob's said, we SHOULD be able to figure it out, but we're special ❤️

If you check the pins of this channel, you'll see a message from Devx going over the hunt, and a bunch of other fun things we've had pinned that should be able to aid us.

[lapis condor]

One of the previous clues / tiers took 56 days and I think we're not even a month into this one, so it could be awhile 😅

[quaint wing]

And that was ~50 days after the main clue was figured out.

Everyone thought to change G to 6 since every clue was that, but no one thought to do 6=vi until the very end. That's how we go to where we are. Rob has stated there are FIVE TRUTHS that are true between every single tier in this level. Find those, add them, and you'll get the password.

[hard current]

there is a POTENTIAL password format

FIND PSW: XXXX-XX-XX

BUT we don’t know for sure

that clue was hidden in an old tier and never used

[spice pelican]

hey i found some stuff on a white board ingame but idk how to share the photo because i dont have permissions to post it

[green ruin]

Can anyone experienced with the easter eggs help show me how it goes since I don't know anything about it and its interesting to me.

[quaint wing]

https://youtu.be/XaU6Fo2utBY - Here's a video by Rockhound. Goes over the original stuff they found and how they did it!

[quaint wing]

The whiteboard images are part of the ABC padlet.

[spice pelican]

the one on the VR map in the medical room?

[quaint wing]

DM it to me and I'll post it in here for you

Yup! That ones been posted.

[spice pelican]

ah ok

#1175257406838677514 message - I don't know if you can view this yet or not.

In case you can't. A lot of those clues lead to G=6, but there might be some other goodies hidden we're unsure of.

[tacit wedge]

in which case it's probably a date

[bleak karma]

In the season one launch post some random letters are bold could this be a clue or a mistake

This jazz -> 1404E210DDFD – 4FA5E227933D2 - 1A3DC
Looks like Hex

It doesn't use any letters higher than F, and it also utilizes 0

I broke it down for people, if anyone can help make sense. Running theory we seem to have is that it's a date.
2 11 4 14 13

5 16 11 6 15 3 3 8 10 4 4 14 3

reminds me of that story with the goose that kept laying golden eggs

what if the password is golden goose but its violden vioose

worth a shot

[tardy sierra]

what about the 6's

[regal lintel]

G

G -> 6 (leet) -> vi (numerals)

[tardy sierra]

is it sugesting full leet speak or just selective changes

[coarse dagger]

selective

[tardy sierra]

im trying to get a match on las vegas so I can check the building that replaced the irl golden goose

[jolly vapor]

49

[tacit wedge]

no?

[turbid tinsel]

Were these 2 frames from the release video mentioned? looks like there was something letter wise in the 2nd frame but im not sure how to make it out.

[sharp flame]

That's the ARC logo iirc

The one that looks like the Pac-man ghost

[turbid tinsel]

in the second frame looked like the letter D in red but not sure.

[coarse dagger]

If you were looking at A_Space_Friend it's P.ID #9703

[turbid tinsel]

does it look like something is written on the tentacle coming from the left hand side of the screen?

[tardy sierra]

"The Goose the Laid the Golden Eggs"

• Aesop's Fables
• #87 of the Perry Index
• may be confused with the Golden Goose

oh for sure, pervasive

big thing I've noticed is too.

typically it's to, so too could be important

HAHA, shit. oo

there's those two oo's again

[wise galleon]

i wonder if something happens if you some how manage to get the whole team to instead play the game, destroy everything. there's like a 30 min timer, do matches even go that long even

[regal lintel]

SO MANY NUBMERS ON THE GRENADE LAUNCHER LOL

nvm lol

[coarse dagger]

Most weapons have lots of text/numbers which persist across all the skins.
So far we haven't managed to connect them to the hunt in any way, but at some point it may be worth undergoing the large task of documenting them all.

[regal lintel]

dang. Sticker is Au.

BTW I hope that all of you EE-hunters understand that this is an homage to all of you

...more or less full circle, was planning to put lxxix in there too, hehe

Huh, should we just be using "Au" for gold/golden in our password attempts?

lowercase of course

[proud minnow]

No, just me sharing some extra love to all of you... that the majority of the other gamers don't even understand... ._.

did you guys solved it xD

Could be nothing, but came across this frame, and the image that appeared in the bottom right almost seemed like another room but it doesnt match previous frames or line up with frames afterwards. almost looks like closet doors or inside a room or something

Maybe rob isn't talking about 60-70% of all clues

Maybe we have to look for an alloy

nvm

I overanalyzed

[tardy sierra]

I think the Magma replaced it but there is nothing in that building to note

[turbid tinsel]

im curious if vegas has anything to do with the password

[tardy sierra]

I doubt that the golden goose in vegas irl has a reference in game as it is a 'dance' joint

[faint rivet]

I shall check this “dance joint” to find clues.

[jade citrus]

I think my mom works here

[faint rivet]

I will check that out too.

Ok guys we need a recap.
Everytime I come here, I’m like 100+ messages behind. Lol

Maybe a Recap thread?? And in it, whenever there’s a new recap, just cross it out the old one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[jade citrus]

weekly recap is basically Gold and Egg

also the new bundles in the store are gold-related

[tacit wedge]

found the clue we were all missing guys

[tardy sierra]

THAT WAS IT! /j

[tacit wedge]

what are eggs...? but big balls

[tardy sierra]

I- think they might just be the opposite

[fleet current]

double embed fail

[fleet current]

xD

[coarse dagger]

Y'all need to rank up in the server before you get embed perms

[tardy sierra]

ah

lmao

[tacit wedge]

i gotta rank just a lil more

[tardy sierra]

is that just typing a few hundred messages or is there something else involved?

[fleet current]

Just Messages I think

[jade citrus]

yeah

[fleet current]

-egghunt

:sadgew: I guess too low rank

: (

: )

we've reverted to emoticons to cope

[coarse dagger]

It'll come naturally, just do your thing in the server and you'll get it.

[fleet current]

Tbh, right now I’m just trying to catch up with the current knowledge basis for Tier 3

I already watched the Rochound Plylist

But I still need to understand the current ideas and Connections.

[sonic mantle]

Yeah it has to do with leet, Roman numerals, what is, gold egg, and ques tion

[tacit wedge]

Casino real life counterparts

[hasty anvil]

so gold isn't in the password... #easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

A strange hair pattern on the back of this character in the Season 1 Battle Pass showcase - looks like a couple of numbers (maybe 0's)

[fleet current]

Yeah good catch

[elder osprey]

There are roman numerals in this doggone wrist band but I can't make them out on the character better than the thumbnail

[fleet current]

#easter-eggs message Argon is an element, would be a recurring theme, but wasn’t named in the „recap“ I got 😅

[quiet moat]

MM/DD is on the box

along with a serial code

[tacit wedge]

where is that from?

[quiet moat]

Same code is on all the boxes in the game

[pure loom]

Note sure what this NASA look-alike logo says - maybe SPALEY?

[quiet moat]

This is also a odd code on the boxes

[tacit wedge]

what part is that

[fleet current]

Maybe SPACEY?

It don’t look like a c tho

[pure loom]

yeah, exactly. That's why I didn't think that

[tacit wedge]

looks a little like the shape here
#easter-eggs message

[tulip matrix]

An extra stroke at the bottom of the red bit

Now it looks like the mark of Zorro

[fleet current]

Or it hints at a replacement of some kind L <-> c

[fleet current]

Also Argon is a Gas and could be linked to the Gas Canisters

But that’s rather far fetched

[quiet moat]

Anybody have any idea what these codes could mean?

[tacit wedge]

we've found them

check the padlets, if we know what they mean it'll be there

[quiet moat]

padlets?

[tacit wedge]

#egg-hunt-onboarding message

[quiet moat]

Can't find anything about solving them

[tacit wedge]

we probably dont know what they mean then

[quiet moat]

What are people trying passwords for

Roses were on this bench

🤷

[brazen merlin]

This one really pissed me off, the gold AKM is free when OB

[tacit wedge]

magma is connected to zaraby

[brazen merlin]

I'll not spend a dime for this game

[tardy sierra]

zaraby?

[tacit wedge]

the casino

[quiet moat]

Anybody else see this

557

[tardy sierra]

looks embossed might be on the base gun

[tacit wedge]

probably a normal they forgot to cover

[quiet moat]

Either way did anybody else se it

numbers under it as well

[lone wave]

Also, did we address the sounds at the end of the video showcase ? I hear some musical lasers that would represent the UFOs but, behind that, I kind of hear a bell, like a big one you’d find in a cathedral or something

[fleet current]

Could refer to Monaco

[lone wave]

Or a link the the knights and medieval theme ?

[pure loom]

I haven't checked the audio out yet - I can though. Just playing at the moment haha

[fleet current]

One could also try to analyze the Audio of that Video more thoroughly

[lone wave]

I’m so happy we can finally say that lol

[fleet current]

Tbh, The Finals just hits different idk, haven’t been this enthusiastic about a game for a long time

[pure loom]

Here's the audio from the end

[tacit wedge]

rockhound do you know where this is from

[pure loom]

it was in the trailer, I think, but the octo has appeared previously too - maybe CB2 trailer (don't quote me)

[lone wave]

You can clearly see the lfo lasers in there but I don’t know if we’re gonna visualise something else

But at the end that sounds like either a big ass bell or a scifi reactor, with distortion, like something taking off

[tulip cloud]

so where does the easter egg start?>

[fleet current]

The Matrix, Resurrection was released in 2021

The Eagle in the Trailer Reminds me of the Kaleidoscope from the Diamond Clue

[fleet current]

#easter-eggs message

[tacit wedge]

what video is that?

[fleet current]

This one I think

[tacit wedge]

i got it to look a little bit like a hi

[regal lintel]

Part of me got wondering about the nucleus of gold lol

[fallen jasper]

Not necessarily an Easter egg related thing (maybe?) but did anyone notice the Holtow SMG skin that prints receipts from the season intro cutscene isn’t in the battle pass or even the game at all?

[plucky vessel]

crtzyz

[fallen jasper]

?

[turbid tinsel]

Did anyone else catch the kaleidoscope image the release trailer?

[hard current]

I did not…

[turbid tinsel]

There's 2 frames where it shows the Seoul map but one it shows it on its side and the other it shows 2 images as if they're in a kaleidoscope. I didn't mention it until I saw #easter-eggs message mention it from a previous video I didn't remember

If it could be helpful I can go and get it quick but wasn't sure it was relevant

Also rob eyed this and I don't think anyone noticed #easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

the first image is odd in 2 ways, 1 its on its side, 2 you can see the reflection of the "S" from the finals im assuming as well as the logo but the weird thing about that is we are able to read it the correct way as if this is the way it was meant to be viewed. And here are 2 of the kaleidascope images, actually found another.

curious if the 2 images need to be put together somehow.

[regal lintel]

We noticed

[gilded bramble]

Hello everyone

Some one see a "hack ad" on trailer season 1?

[opal kernel]

store refresh now says 6 days, in 6 days, it will be the 19th, which is the date on the death by rhodent poster on vegas map

must be an event

[digital apex]

it looks ?넘?더 I see..

[turbid tinsel]

nah we already found it.

[digital apex]

but that words X넘X더 is not exists on the dictionary

[alpine whale]

Has anyone tired to figure out the holtow barcode? I feel like the code on the right of the sticker has some significance into accessing the site

I've tired adding the code onto the website adress, nothing
I've tried finding a way to add it into the inspect menu of chrome, as I've seen some games implement the inspect menu into certain coding hack fests. Nothing either

I feel like it could reveil some key information

[coarse dagger]

And here:
#official-art message

[unborn pilot]

Did we ever notice Ques and Tion had very different times on them besides the old dates?

QUES
Saved @ 2023:09:22 12:31:12+02:00

TION
Saved @ 2023-09-22 12:35:46+02:00

12:31:12 has that 12 as in 2012 / December repeating between clues

12:35:46 just sounds like 1,2,3,4,5,6

Usually if metadata is even there at all, but has changes in it, it appears to be some clue with CNS hacking the data.

For reference these are the other 2 dates on both that do match, but for some reason appear to be made in a different time zone.
Created @ 2015:11:06 02:25:46+07:00
Saved @ 2015:11:06 02:33:47+07:00

But could be more to it in same time zone as STHLM:
Created @ 2015:11:05 21:25:46+02:00
Saved @ 2015:11:05 21:33:47+02:00

[timid solstice]

Interesting

[timid solstice]

It was

[jaunty smelt]

They said meta data isn’t apart of it if I don’t recall…?

[short barn]

@fallen jasper but it is in the game as a purchasable bundle

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message closer look at the bracelet numerals

Rob actually eyed that too

[summer sleet]

Do yall know the map with the cafe

With the name in German

[vivid rose]

Gotta see trough egg

[unborn pilot]

I believe that refers to inspecting the game iteself not the images for the Easter egg. There have been 8 images with clearly added messages while others have nothing at all. The wiki has them all listed out. Mainly related to CNS.

[lilac scaffold]

I can't send pics here who can I dm something to

Found some weird thing on Vegas randomly scratched on the side of a parking garage... and I do mean it's randomly placed

Anyways just tag me I'll send it over if you wanna take a look

I'm thinking coordinates or idfk a measurement

[coarse dagger]

I can

[lilac scaffold]

@coarse dagger sent

Pretty weird, noticed it cuz I was dead and My death cam was lookin there

[coarse dagger]

From @lilac scaffold :

Picture of a monitor

[lilac scaffold]

Psn account not linked -.- and it's not my account

Lolol

[maiden imp]

has there been any rewards uncovered yet? for finding the easter eggs

like redeemable ones

[cedar badge]

It looks like Korean or something

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[rocky trout]

im korean and im trying to make out what it says, .. the first symbol could be Kkeu, 끄 , or it could be the letter ㄱ and 1 (il) in korean, which would phonetically be "Gil" or 길.

I cant seem that make out what seems to just look like a number 8 though lol

maybe if we mess around with the exposure and saturation a bit..

[snow walrus]

i feel like we are a bit late to solve this tier and rob trying to say everytime OPEN YOUR EYES with all these

[rocky trout]

ah, cant send screenshots

#feelsbadman

[snow walrus]

u can upload on imgur and link here

Discovery Corp 🤔

[sharp flame]

💸

[sharp flame]

Discovery Corp was spotted before, I think we theorised that they made the weapons for THE FINALS

[snow walrus]

yea i was checking old messages

main exe name is also Discovery so it checks out

by the way you can try to use Magnifier(builtin windows program)

[sharp flame]

THE FINALS used to be called Project Discovery, and Rob said it was a reference to their roots

(but also Discovery will have more of a role in the future!)

[snow walrus]

X and something up there

maybe an R and !

or C2 ?
or CS 😂

[quiet moat]

I don’t think x’s mean much

They use the same gold texture for everything

[snow walrus]

btw as rob said eeeearlier this is not part of the EE but lore

[quiet moat]

And they all have x’s on them

I’m pretty sure they are just for detail

They’re also on the golden trophies in the practice range

[tacit wedge]

CB?

cb is recurring

[buoyant stag]

Anybody know something about Christmas skins ^.^?

or New Year things

[tough hinge]

Me

[timid pulsar]

Yeah dude I wanna be a nutcracker

[balmy fog]

Did y'all find it yet?

There's a note on the M11 orange skin when in-game, I'll try to get a screenshot of it. You can't see it while previewing in the menu but in-game it appears on the weapon.

[tacit wedge]

I think that the battle pass show case in #game-announcements is different from the one posted to yt

it is different

[cedar vine]

i dont know anything about easter eggs in this or any game but i want to so what are the things i have to look for and where. Ive already heard that there are easter eggs in the trailer and images on #official-art but are there any ingame?

[tacit wedge]

there's a few, if you want to join us in doing the arg then the best way to get a headstart is checking out the links in #egg-hunt-onboarding
