easter-eggs

[timid heron]

I was surprised someone found a 16x16 pixel image of a snowflake in a 2560x1980 pixel promo image

[wicked pier]

have people already analyzed the winter promo pics?

oh just the video thumbnail has artwork

[alpine whale]

what the hell does the next photos mean

[devout storm]

CS on sword basket?

Possible writing on the back side of Bling Bling charm, looks like suspicious scratches.

?15??4

last one definitely a 4

[mild birch]

Holtow webpage which you could reach trough QR code in game now have red dot

[tulip matrix]

Maybe it is a Colada, which the name refers to "acero colado" meaning cast steel

CS

or maybe this guy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevalier_de_Saint-Georges

famous swordsmen

[devout storm]

maybe?

[faint rivet]

#easter-eggs message

Hmm. This could be something

[hard current]

ah that makes sense

those backgrounds I believe are so that the gif in the background can run through it, if you checkout the html I believe that’s why

[unreal patio]

fd

[devout storm]

anything on this? anyone else noticed? don't know how to get a good enough screencap of it.

(the Bling Bling charm reverse side)

[snow walrus]

can you explain more specifically

[devout storm]

There appears to be a line of numbers or letters just BARELY readable on the backside. Definitely a 4 there. also what looks like a 1 5, or a 1 ⚡ ?

was just inspecting my sword from unlocking blue skin, and then I thought I'd play around with its decorations

[snow walrus]

you mean Light's sword

[devout storm]

yeh

sorry, partial sword main

[snow walrus]

can't you take screenshot

[devout storm]

Apparently I haven't finished my dailies and I thought I had so not today

[snow walrus]

are you talking about this sword

[pure loom]

please stop spamming all the channels with random letters

[unreal patio]

Mb won't do that again

[snow walrus]

i sent this part of the sword here before, nothing came out of it

[unborn pilot]

Probably a troll if he can’t take a photo to show us because he has to do his dailies 🙂

[devout storm]

sword has the CS that I don'tnunderstand but know means something, but the more interesting thing is the Bling Bling charm.

[devout storm]

actually did the last one suprisingly fast. and did get one

oh, wait. Can't send images yet. Damnit.

[snow walrus]

u can link

[devout storm]

uhhh... imgur?

https://imgur.com/a/B5Tvqjc

Thoughts??

[snow walrus]

Some scratches

[devout storm]

I swear there is a line of numbers/letters running diagonal like so on it: \

like, top right half is just scratches, but bottom right half might actually have something

[snow walrus]

you can see something but need a connection somehow

[fresh quiver]

dont know why but i can see a 5 there somehow.

[tulip matrix]

Oh, light!

[twin hatch]

I have the audio file (that I clipped in game) for the music behind the Death Rodent posters on Vegas but I am not a high enough level to post. Can I send it to someone who can, since we were talking about the music and that poster yesterday I think?

[snow walrus]

just drag the audio file directly here?

[twin hatch]

I can't not high enough level

[snow walrus]

ah you mean the role

okay u can send me

[twin hatch]

yeah sorry the role

[dapper sail]

Was there ever an Easter egg found with the roses in the firing range?

[tulip matrix]

nope

[hard current]

what a throwback

curious if it could mean anything with the way the light is oriented on the tion.jpg image

thought of it before but couldn't seem to make anything of it

[snow walrus]

[twin hatch]

^there might a steam screenshot noise and some other dialouge goings on before I muted them in this clip. Thanks dread.

[pure loom]

I covered what the band's singer says here (timestamped): https://youtu.be/nLrD-dh-8-U?si=amQ71-wZuRndSHuU&t=383

It's pretty cool that they put this in haha

Also, I wondered if the dates might be a tease for the Christmas event date

[daring bluff]

yall have probably already seen this but further confirmation volpe is a supplier of the actual entire VR technology that allows the finals to happen

i thought they were just for the jump pads because of some lines from the open beta but seems as if it's not just that

[hidden solstice]

yoooo whats up

[terse saffron]

Idk, you can scroll to put other crosses into their positions, and it's still easily visible

Plus would be very very misleading

[tulip matrix]

VR by Volpe:

[timid solstice]

Hey welcome! Good to have you here

The heck is that thing up there?

Whats that weapon and skin?

[tulip matrix]

SA1216 with the default red skin

Auto-shotty

[ionic ermine]

Ah from the Heavy?

[tulip matrix]

Yeah

[ionic ermine]

Looks very cool with the gloves and sock 👍

[tulip matrix]

Thanks haha I dressed up for the holiday event

[ionic ermine]

Yep! Even put the shiny watch on 😅

[coarse dagger]

It was something

T1A

[faint rivet]

bangs head on desk

[terse saffron]

meeeee :3

That's how it feels tryna solve this level LOL

[faint rivet]

Right! Feels like we put in every combination for the password. What the flipping flip is missing..??

[terse saffron]

Nono, I think I'm onto something

But I also don't know half of it

I'm looking into the whiteboards rn

Man

No image perms

In this whiteboard, the 110110 and 79 graph

[ornate matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny2-video-game-wreck-floating-debris-gif-16578045

[terse saffron]

79 = gold, 110110 = 54 = xenon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraxenonogold(II)

This bad boy exists

Idk the relevance yet but might be down the right track

I'm pretty sure the gold part is to do with electron shells though

So it might just be that I've been getting the egg part wrong

Egg is defo the more cryptic side of it

[unborn pilot]

That was one of the clues for G=6 unless you’re referring to something else

But Xe is interesting since it’s got an X on it just like AU in the periodic table image from the office

[faint rivet]

Yea I know it was during one of the tier hunts, but he did say “a walk in the park” (not sure if that was a hint) and something about seeing “it” almost anywhere. And seeing that eggshape lamp just got me thinking “hey, lamps are EVERYWHERE”. Sooo just maybe a lamp can be something that can change a letter for the password or at least lead to something that can help with the password. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ah damn it. The lamp thing already been discussed. I’m always like 20 steps behind
At least I’m on some trail.

[robust heron]

the traveler is not on earth anymore
also destiny 2 collab? XD

[unborn pilot]

1064 and 79 appear again at least 10+ times after they were used as solutions. That could point to tier 2 and connecting “gold” again, or maybe something more for tier 3. I’m torn as I’ve been on the same trail past 2 months now.

[unborn pilot]

Our latest image clues are ? (ascii) = 63 (decimal). 63, not 64. While the double ?? are 2047 (unicode) = 1063 (decimal).

While on the color side both match in hue value of 46 for Metallic Gold & Eggshell

Also the Commodore 64 references pointing to 6 & 4, or C64 = 164

[normal moat]

idk if im grasping at straws but could golden egg be tied to las vegas? theres a golden goose casino

wait not a casino, still a golden goose sign

[sour sail]

I'm new to this hunt. Where is the password input into? Do we have a FAQ or wiki yet?

[quaint wing]

There's a ton of information there, there's threads going over clues that have been found and what they may mean. There's a ton of stuff just kinda lurkin around everywhere. If you have question the hunters are usually very nice about helping. Remember if you find something, to use the search feature in Discord!

[clever crystal]

like, i got all over it, but still, idk WHERE you guys are

[quaint wing]

Honestly, we're not 100% sure. I'm pretty sure it's some form of goldenegg, but not 100% on the encoding for the password.

I had an idea back in the day, lost all hope when every variation stopped working, lol

[clever crystal]

like, i got a random image from the site, used my photoshop magics and found something, how would i know if someone already solved it

like

[quaint wing]

Which picture?

[clever crystal]

the guns one

yellow bcgd

[quaint wing]

The T1A image?

https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-a ?

[clever crystal]

yes

[random grove]

I found this image really helpful to catch up

[quaint wing]

The wiki is great for stuff like that too. They've updated it A LOT. There's also a thread called GOLDEN CLUE HUNT 1B, which is everything related to that image and others from that tier.

R.Cade has a spreadsheet of all clues that are known, but might be missing something. Either way, what did you find?

[clever crystal]

cant post screenshot here ;^; but it was some squares on the right-top of the image

[quaint wing]

I'm unsure if the squares would be anything other than possible noise. But send it to me and I can post it for you

The mains will be back on soon and will be able to explain more. I'm braindead.

From Daniel.

[clever crystal]

thanks

[quaint wing]

Someone smarter than me may be able to explain what you found, or if it's been found. I wasn't around for the beginning and don't remember seeing that in the padlet or spreadsheet. Double check the wiki, just in case.

[twin hatch]

Idk rn if this has been found. The padlets usually say what has been found. But it's possible its still unfound.

[twin hatch]

Also did you try using Threshold and move the slider or invert?

[clever crystal]

just used the Curves adjustment to its limits and it showed up lol

if i move the slider i can clearly see all the characteres

i can write it down and send it if it is easier to look up it it already has been found

[terse saffron]

What does it say?

[hard current]

send it to me I’ll share it in here

[clever crystal]

done

its familiar somehow

[clever crystal]

it remembers me a Pigpen Cypher

[unborn pilot]

#1182955042416893984 message one letter in each word around the whole casino is darker. I put them all in this thread

[unborn pilot]

Yeah I believe that was solved a while back by @coarse dagger

[coarse dagger]

Not by me

But yes, solved

[clever crystal]

see, this needs to be documented somewhere

[coarse dagger]

It is

[clever crystal]

where

3 guys went over it and no one said it was solved because they didnt knew either

[coarse dagger]

And a site I'm working on:
https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/T1B/THE_FINALS_OSPUZE

All 4 of those document it

[twin hatch]

There is a lot images and clues. Over a years worth. It's a lot to filter thru. Don't get me wrong the padlets are great. I'm only new to all of this from a couple weeks ago.

[proud minnow]

You can make easy Pigpen Cypher, and you can make hard ones (and you can also make extremely complex ones that uses more dimensions... guess what I prefer... )

[random bramble]

oh no

[clever crystal]

fair enough lol

[coarse dagger]

In game 3 dimensional Pigpen Cyphers...? O_O

[clever crystal]

well, boys, we getting the 4th dimensional Pigpen cypher

a Rubiks cube of letters

[hard current]

a 4d cipher

[clever crystal]

all of that before GTA6

[hard current]

my only thing with that is… what do we put into the cipher

[clever crystal]

well, i searched it and it is in the docs

[proud minnow]

(I was extremely proud when I came up with this as a teenager when I started to write secret texts that you needed to decipher using 3D... I used my old Amiga 500 and Lightwave to do it... I wonder if someone else has done this... I will start searching the web...)

[hard current]

well yes we’ve used one before

[clever crystal]

ooof lightwave hits hard

[coarse dagger]

"normal" pig pen ciphers use different charts for the different letters.

If you started with a basic 3x3 pigpen cipher and added another equally sized dimesion you could fit all the letters into one

3x3x3 = 27

[hard current]

yes but I mean what do we cipher it against? i.e. what text needs to be decrypted?

[coarse dagger]

You should google pigpen cipher. It's not a substitution cipher.

[hard current]

…

I’m an idiot

[coarse dagger]

Well

I guess it kind of is

[hard current]

sorry I was thinking playfair cipher this whole time

[hard current]

this seems like a very clear direction of where we should head

wait this is interesting

the ques and tion images are 3D

or at least the question marks are

seems… potentially deliberate when they could’ve just been 2D

hm

[clever crystal]

HMMM

[hard current]

I’ll be looking into…. 3D encryption/decryption techniques tomorrow:) it’s like 3am here rn oof

but a 3D pigpen? that sounds insane, fun, and right up robs alley

[proud minnow]

haha, go to sleep OR play another round of THE FINALS, it's probably more likely you find anything in there, haha

[hard current]

rob, if you’re saying there’s a clue for us FOR THIS TIER in game rn I’ll cry

[twin hatch]

Oh he tempts us. Sleep (me too it's 2am...) Or delve deeper

[hard current]

the limits of the human mind… sleep vs the ineffable need to solve a puzzle

[clever crystal]

its easily readable, but the problem is to know the right characteres (since its 3D, is 3x harder to guess)

[twin hatch]

I know and I have to drive for 7hrs today......ugh sleep or game

[proud minnow]

BTW I'm going to my old farm over chrismas, my old Amiga is there, I wonder if it will still start... I made so many modifications on it and it's been in a barn for 20 years... It was a beauty I airbrushed it in pink metallic...
(and NO, this has nothing to do with the EE-hunt...)

[hard current]

hey @unborn pilot is there any way to put ques and tion into a… 3D environment? dumb question i’m sure but

[unborn pilot]

Dark letters, weird stuff on death by rodent posters, strange cube lights. But does it mean anything

[hard current]

rob those dots on the end of that sentence make me wonder… but also, why pink?:)

… has anyone looked real close at the kawaii paws set? I know rob said it’s not for the ee but pink airbrush makes me think of that

though I don’t believe it’s in store anymore

… is there anything pink in the game besides the goo canisters?

[proud minnow]

(I always to dots... ._. I'm an old ASCII-artist... Didn't you see the ASCII-logo in the Credits, hehe...)

[unborn pilot]

Yeah I tried in Blender using white as the height map. it does work somewhat but nothing came out when I tried then…maybe I need to open my eyes

[hard current]

OYE 😉

[clever crystal]

lol, was doing the same rn

[twin hatch]

This man. Sometimes I don't if I should read in too much or not

[hard current]

my current hobby is reading old rob messages and trying to decide if I’m insane or not

[proud minnow]

I love black, red and pink... most of my logos, graffitis, visual designs only use these colors, and I only wear black... ._.

[unborn pilot]

Maybe that’s the Edward Lear style haha

[hard current]

black is my fav purely because you can’t see me sweat in it 😭

[pure loom]

If you wear a suit, do you wear a black shirt?

[hard current]

all black suit with a black tie rob would be lookin CRISP

[proud minnow]

If I can, but some formal things like weddings... I use a white shirt, it's horrible... I actually had a white shirt on the release party too last week (but for the after party I changed to black, hehe)

[hard current]

hey @unborn pilot was there anything weird with the ascii logo in the credits? I didn’t get a chance to look closely

[pure loom]

That's awesome.

[proud minnow]

no it's nothing hidden there

[hard current]

how have things been faring outside of the EE, morale up and good?

someone said a lot of the devs are sick rn 😦

[unborn pilot]

I only thought the numbers & dates around the logo maybe did

Good to know

[clever crystal]

boys, did you guys obiously tried to overlap both ?? right

[hard current]

yeah, no dice we saw:/

[clever crystal]

its kinda upseting me that both images, when overlaped, dont have the same height

[twin hatch]

Yeah overlap and opacity with all sorts of filter. Nothing there

[clever crystal]

or width

[hard current]

I am curious about throwing them in blender again… @unborn pilot I’m gonna look into this amiga light wave 3D cipher stuff tomorrow

[unborn pilot]

Yeah for real

[hard current]

I’ve been gone from the EE for too long 😔

[clever crystal]

im overthinking if it was on purpose or its the way to solve it lol

[hard current]

I still check in here every day but haven’t really devoted much time to it the last few weeks cause game is too fun

[hard current]

try it 🤷

rn we don’t have much moving for us

and anything could spark it

[unborn pilot]

Maybe you’ll find something though. It’s been on my mind

[twin hatch]

I don't have the image up rn. It's not the shadow making the width on the white one different right. Am I going crazy.....idk it's too late rn

[clever crystal]

its perfectly 15 pixels on each side, and 18 on top

changed from points

[unborn pilot]

And that lines them up perfectly ?

[proud minnow]

To Sleep, or to Game? That is not the question.

[clever crystal]

yes

[hard current]

ques and tion are confirmed to not be this question guys

(I am going insane)

[clever crystal]

ITS MARK

lol

[twin hatch]

Oh Shakespeare reference. Quick quick write it down

[hard current]

AYE YO

another one

[clever crystal]

ques tion mark hehehe

[hard current]

he mentioned one a while ago too, that pointed to the 5 truths

Hamlet

[clever crystal]

To be or not to be—that is the question

be...or not...to be

hmmmm

[unborn pilot]

To gold or to egg?

[terse saffron]

To egg gold!

[hard current]

I literally just typed that out too lol

[proud minnow]

There is nothing wrong with insane... ._.

[clever crystal]

i just read mseme

[terse saffron]

^

[clever crystal]

my brain isnt braining

[hard current]

oh you’ve done it now rob

[terse saffron]

Confizzled

[hard current]

omg

that’s an original image

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/insane-in-the-membrane-crazy-gif-21442827

[hard current]

it doesn’t have anything on tin eye

wait

[terse saffron]

Quick, analysis

[hard current]

it looks like it’s from.. a game

[proud minnow]

No it's just one of my old Amiga-logotypes.... ._.

[hard current]

amiga again? rob… be my amigo and give me something so nonsensical that it’ll occupy me all of tomorrow

https://tenor.com/view/restless-gif-1514542008269461846

I get that just from reading old messages

C64 vibes lowkey

Commodore

[pure loom]

imagine if we played on monitors that size for THE FINALS

[unborn pilot]

1268x646 size

[hard current]

every day this starts to feel more like the golden egg hunt from ready player one (which is a good thing)

[terse saffron]

LMAO

[clever crystal]

THE STARTERS

[terse saffron]

We gotta put it backwards

[twin hatch]

Omg isnt there a retro scene in that movie somewhere.....maybe the end

[hard current]

yes, doubt it’s important for this but

[terse saffron]

I'm tryna remember if that part exists in the books

[hard current]

it just is interesting because rob loves to pull in stuff that my generation really has no knowledge of, so I’m learning a lot 🙂

[clever crystal]

same

[terse saffron]

Y'all think they'll make the second movie?

[hard current]

tell you what, I’m never gonna forget the atomic structure of mendelevium

so why amiga? it connects back to commodore, c64

which was present in past tiers

[terse saffron]

I'm still convinced that the gold part of the password is gonna be an electron shell

[hard current]

and also pigpen cipher which was in a past tier

I think it’s interesting rob called back to the pigpen cipher, it was only used once

but it was the only “proper” cipher we used iirc

[twin hatch]

And he showed up right when we mentioned it..... coincidence?

[hard current]

… my guess is we were on the right track but it may have been difficult for us to connect to a 3D version of it

that still begs the question of what characters belong in it

[clever crystal]

im wondering if the fact that the image having an extra of 18x15 pixels lead to 1815 or MDCCCXV in roman

or its just paranoia

[proud minnow]

HEY THIS IS A GREAT MACHINE..!
(When I started at DICE we still used them to make textures to PS1 games... ._.)

[hard current]

pigpen is already geometrically based

[clever crystal]

bi-dimentionally only, but still

[clever crystal]

a DICE is a 3d object...

hmmm

thonk

[hard current]

wait wait wait dice was a company rob worked for I wouldn’t dive that way

[clever crystal]

lol

would be a shot in the foot

[pure loom]

I hope you write an autobiography one day. It would be an interesting read.

[twin hatch]

I'm gonna go crazy.....I'll play catch up in 8hrs.

[twin hatch]

I'd buy it

[pure loom]

Once we had deciphered it hahaha

[terse saffron]

Comparison of his coming up with the puzzles and our scrambling to solve them LOL

[hard current]

when this EE is all done, I genuinely hope rob will video detail how he developed it, the ways it’s taken us are crazy and deep

[terse saffron]

That'd be a fun chapter

[twin hatch]

You mean book lol

[proud minnow]

I was just going to write "It would be an EE-adventure-book written in code"

[clever crystal]

pass the page through an uv light* , oh there is the next chapter

[proud minnow]

Would be the worst selling book in the history of mankind, haha

[hard current]

“ok guys let’s start with letter frequency so we can try and read” 😭

[twin hatch]

"hope you have your one time pad ready for the next chapter"

[clever crystal]

evety 7th letter of the book is written in a Sans-serif font

[terse saffron]

Adventure books are so good though

[hard current]

each chapter involves a new cipher, with increasing difficulty

[clever crystal]

to read the end, you must get all the hints

[twin hatch]

The last one is just word's font. Wingdings 1

[hard current]

guys stop we’re giving him too many ideas (one chapter is titled Byzantine with no context)

[clever crystal]

boys, im looking throught the doc, and didnt saw anywhere talking about the QR code in a map

[hard current]

there’s a qr code in map?

[pure loom]

Each chapter is Chapter 6

[clever crystal]

yeah

in a wall, yellow wall

[hard current]

you got a pic?

[unborn pilot]

I think those just go to the website

[clever crystal]

yes but no, took the screenshot yesterday

[twin hatch]

Not the QR code before the jump pad on Seoul right?

[clever crystal]

who knows lol

[twin hatch]

Yeah that one goes to the website

[clever crystal]

duck

BUT

if there is one

[twin hatch]

I only found it yesterday

[clever crystal]

out there

that doesnt lead

to the website

hummm

[terse saffron]

It's a single one tucked away in a corner of the map

[hard current]

rob did seem to hint earlier there might be something in game to find

[unborn pilot]

Scan every one you see lol

[hard current]

which could make sense given recent updates and our lack of progress

[unborn pilot]

I think they are all the same

[twin hatch]

I can feel the frustration behind this msg.....cause I was there too yesterday

[clever crystal]

lol, sadly i dont know all the maps by name

[hard current]

monaco, seoul, vegas:)

[twin hatch]

Well I got Seoul five times in a row last night. Pretty much all I played

[unborn pilot]

I don’t think there’s one in Vegas.

[clever crystal]

vegas is the one of the most 'spotable" lol

[unborn pilot]

Really?

See I’m blind

[twin hatch]

Where

[clever crystal]

no, i mean, not a qr code

[hard current]

I saw a question online, looked like someone was trying to buy an amiga 500 but said the ones on ebay were all pink/pinkish?

[twin hatch]

Ah gotcha

[clever crystal]

[spring girder]

So just to be clear about this easter egg stuff, we trying to figure out the password for tier 3 right?

[clever crystal]

talking about vegas, in a match i entered a weird place behind a wall, that lead in a small way beetween constructions

[terse saffron]

Check the plastic they're made of, see what reaction it has to UV

[hard current]

well only reason I say is because Rob said he airbrushed his to be pink

was just doing some shallow looking:)

[terse saffron]

Yeah

Whatever cryptic password it is

[proud minnow]

BTW on a completely unrelated EE-note... I read Gadsby when I was 13-14 years, I was completely blown away and thought "How is this even possible.?!" Then a couple of years later I found La Disparition, and then I realized that someone actually translated it, so I read it in another couple of languages, completely mind blown... I guess that's where my fascination of PROPER (hehe) literature started... ._.

@pure loom have you read any of them..?

[hard current]

… completely unrelated EE note

does that it mean it is or isn’t EE related

[terse saffron]

Ayee, the ._. is R in morse code

[hard current]

written entirely without the use of the letter e

[terse saffron]

I almost wish my name started with R now so I could sign off like that LOL

[hard current]

goldngg 😔

[clever crystal]

was looking for hints in monaco

got stuck in a chimney

im the new Santa

[proud minnow]

I know pretty cool right... ._.

[pure loom]

Alas, no. I did make a start on Crime and Punishment, but had to switch to Around The World In 80 Days - I watch video so much these days, my reading brain needs to build up to the beefy stuff haha

[terse saffron]

Mine just doesn't look as good in morse

[pure loom]

I tell you what though - I noticed when I picked up reading again, that I sleep a whole lot better

[pure loom]

I sound like Grandpa Simpson hahaha

[terse saffron]

Reading before bed is my secret to long sleeps hehe

[pure loom]

[hard current]

no shame I love the eragon books, girlfriend bought me the new one for christmas so I picked up reading again and can agree with sleeping better

[spring girder]

except when you get really into it and don't get any sleep at all

[terse saffron]

You check the time and three hours have passed

[pure loom]

Actually, now you mention it, I had to build up to Around the World, by reading 'Steal Like An Artist' haha

[hard current]

I used to adore reading growing up, college wrecked it for me but I just graduated and it’s so nice to enjoy it (and have the time) to do it again

[pure loom]

I long for having that much time to read!

[clever crystal]

damn Rob, why did you made such n adicting game, im here on my way, looking for hints in the map, and 5 mins later im completly distracted in a crossfire

[terse saffron]

It came out of my sleep >w<

[hard current]

hey wrong chat homie, try #📧┇contact-us 🙂

[terse saffron]

^

Oooo, actually

[hard current]

rob brought up two lipograms

books without e’s (or another certain letter)

[proud minnow]

Yes these kind of books are hard to read... I finished The Metamorphosis a couple of weeks ago, that did not really make me sleep better, haha... Now I'm reading The Master and Margarita (but that is just because I have been saying I should since I was a teenager due to Thåström)

[terse saffron]

I did have a EE solving related question with the whiteboards - have we solved the "NQ" "NQ10" "NQ100" ones?

[hard current]

don’t think so? some think it points to space quadrants

[terse saffron]

Okioki

That'll be my next rabbit hole then

[clever crystal]

gonna make sum coffe boys, its 6am

my brain no brains

[terse saffron]

Maybe I'll find the philosophers stone so we can make some gold

[twin hatch]

If I stay in this chat any longer it'll be 6am

[hard current]

<@&1012034066876473384> 2nd time

[pure loom]

I always imagine I will read more books like this when I am retired. Movies > Books at the moment. But I should try to read at least a page or two a day, I guess.

[terse saffron]

Hey wait

Philosophers stone is gold and eternal life (egg?)

[hard current]

you like any stephen king?

[clever crystal]

egg

[hard current]

we looked into this a while back but nobody came up with anything at the time:)

[terse saffron]

This password is literally the philosophers stone

[pure loom]

I've never read anything of his (whoops!) - dang I have lots to catch up one haha

[hard current]

try reading Dreamcatcher by him… I tried in 9th grade and I was at a very high reading level and it still messed with me

might give it another shot soon

[pure loom]

ok, I'll note that one down

[terse saffron]

Stephen King is an author I want to read more of

[hard current]

Cell is also amazing, much easier to read by him:)

[terse saffron]

I'm a hardcore fantasy nut though

[wanton sundial]

Thanks!

EE-hunters...
I just wanted to wish you all a great holiday, you are amazing and keep up the great work and continue to be curious.! I hope you will get some time relax, play a lot of THE FINALS, hang out with friends and family, and find some EE's..!

(...and OFC, I will check in daily to see if you are making any progress.!)

[hard current]

i’ve actually dreamt about this ee hunt multiple times (I’m hearing voices)

[terse saffron]

I've fallen asleep thinking about it a few times...

If only my brain had internet while I slept

[pure loom]

Maybe we are all asleep. Easter Eggception

[snow walrus]

Im taking the shift you can sleep well hunters

Ooo rob visited huh

[terse saffron]

Early christmas present

[brazen drift]

How’s the hunt been?

[terse saffron]

Slow

I think

[long surge]

damn this hunt just like me fr

[terse saffron]

Could have been one digit off, could be nowhere near

The hunt continues

[brazen drift]

Ik, i used to be active in here

[terse saffron]

Ahh nice nice

I'm a freshie

Still figuring out what we know and don't know

Hopefully thinking new things though!

hopefully

Well, looking up NQ100 gives me the nasdaq-100

Hm

Idea

[cedar vine]

I think you guys already know this but here is a clip of the sound played at the rat poster... idk https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/1KyFfq-SgLbN7n/d1337rtZD0fz?invite=cr-MSw5bGYsMjA0MDA0MzY4LA

[clever crystal]

its odd that, the 2 ?? images have a 18x15 margin when overlaped, and on its Metadata says the date November 06th, on which in 1815, Napoleao Bonapart was in the Battle of Waterloo

this is what i love/hate about ee hunts, they lead you so somewhere oddly specific, that could be the right answer...or you are just beying paranoid and looking in the wrong direction

[fresh quiver]

ahahha.

Hey Flex, ur also here. Thats more then nice! 😄

[timid solstice]

Shit that’s obvious now

[terse saffron]

Wow idk how I missed this, do you know where I can find a picture of the table?

[clever crystal]

guys

did anyone scanned the QR code sticker of Holtow?

looked through the DOC, didnt saw anything related

[tacit ember]

Hi! im really new to this so i might be using old info or something but the holtow qr is actually what got me looking at this

[hidden nacelle]

yes

[clever crystal]

it just goes to holtow.com

[tacit ember]

i couldnt really figure anything out tho other than the gif is named 5.15.25

[hidden nacelle]

we know

[clever crystal]

hmmm 15th May 2025

we gonna wait 2 years to discover

[tacit ember]

i thought about it but the date just seemed too far to mean anything

[clever crystal]

maybe its not an irl date

maybe an ingame date?

[tacit ember]

ooo good thinking

it might also be refering to a date that doesnt have 20 in the beginning of the year

so like 1025

[terse saffron]

Year 25

1025 may be promising though

[clever crystal]

yeah like

[terse saffron]

Also note could be BC

[clever crystal]

we have Vegas 2032

who knows if a map comes in a future update, beying in 2025

[tacit ember]

oh actually

yeah that would make sense right

the maps all have sponsors

holtow is a big company

[clever crystal]

hmmmm

[terse saffron]

Apparently 25 BC is when Rome became the largest city in the world

[clever crystal]

Rome hum

[terse saffron]

Probably unrelated but the more you know

[clever crystal]

and the dates? like the month?

[terse saffron]

Rome map next? Confirmed for sure

[clever crystal]

something hapened?

[clever crystal]

well, since we have irl places, it would be a cool addition

[tacit ember]

i think too, although dates are def a good place it could be a different notation as well

[terse saffron]

It would be very cool

Coliseum

[clever crystal]

oh yeah, and a cash out in the middle

FIGHT OR DIE

[terse saffron]

Heavy season

[clever crystal]

some cool things i noted (now its just a teory than facts) is that the game passes around the year 2100, and we have irl places, beeying rendered as an arena, with a year on it, maybe we could teorize that those places doesn exist anymore in the year 2100, and the year you play the map is the only visual representation of what that place once was?

[tacit ember]

I was also wondering the code next to the QR meant anything or was just randomized info

[clever crystal]

idk, maybe its jut the coffee doing its thing, i like lores and teories, and a game, where you go as a "virtual player" and get out with cash sounds too good to be true in a distopian future

[clever crystal]

i just noted it in my personal doc, who knows if it becomes something important to know in the next tiers

[tulip matrix]

I think someone figured out it can be converted to spell EGGHEAD

[clever crystal]

wut

[tulip matrix]

#easter-eggs message

[clever crystal]

how does H5942617857-VRI translates to EGGHEAD

[clever crystal]

BFIH-VRI is Egghead

[tacit ember]

oh interesting

[clever crystal]

i like how the red dot in the QR code is in an especific spot

like, its not in the middle, its not in the corners...its just, there

HEIDBFAGHEG-VRI

VRI = EGG
somehow

Cesar?

naw, gg its the same letter

looking through the old messages trying to understand WHY VRI=EGG

[tulip matrix]

I think it's just worded oddly

It's egghead
And ibfh-vri is left-over

[clever crystal]

....now im even more confused

but like

confirmed

100%?

or people just said "yeh is it"

[tulip matrix]

I don't think it's confirmed until the rest of the letters are found to mean something lol

the word egghead is kind of cherry picked out of that sequence

[clever crystal]

lol, cause, if the same letter, doesnt translate to...the same letter, something is off

[clever crystal]

there is 2 i's here

the only thing that repeats its the e's, but in odd places compared to the i's

[jaunty burrow]

what are we trying to figure out?

[clever crystal]

holtow qr code numbers

[jaunty burrow]

where can i see the qr code

[clever crystal]

stickers on weapons

15th sticker

[tulip matrix]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1011929497139953744/1184123797545168996/image.png?ex=65940eb9&is=658199b9&hm=529d8c32e033509041aa2c1ea1f5560ddf9c59389901873510387543cb52bf75&

[clever crystal]

thanks

i mean, could be something the devs still working on

like, the holtow site and we need to wait to actually get an answer? yes

or we're growing a 3rd brain to read it

[jaunty burrow]

what leads to think that those letters are egg head

[clever crystal]

exacly

thats my point

why??

[jaunty burrow]

who said that tho

[clever crystal]

have no idea, @tulip matrix said to me, but i still thinking about it

it WOULD make sense if it was something Hammer exclusive, like, EggHead, you BONK their heads and theyre gone

[jaunty burrow]

so lets start from the beggining what have we already found

maybe it as some mean to past things?

[clever crystal]

maybe

of this sticker, we have the sticker which leads to holtow.com, a date, a 'serial number', a red dot

and thats it

[jaunty burrow]

so

the red dot is from the sticker already

hmmmm

[tacit ember]

"figuring out the numbers into letetrs then a quick unscramble did leave me with "egghead" but a bunch of left over letters "

from earlier in the discord channel

[clever crystal]

an anagram

[jaunty burrow]

did we already read the qr code?

[clever crystal]

okay, but there is, 10 numbers, egghead has 7 letters

[clever crystal]

yes

holtow.com

[jaunty burrow]

so there is something in this page https://www.holtow.com/ that can help us with the letters i assume

it's only a red dot uh

why does it have a link to a /cart

[clever crystal]

the gif has a date on the name

[jaunty burrow]

and changes colors once u click on it

[clever crystal]

i guess that this is a browser thing idk

it gets blue

like its selected

[jaunty burrow]

yeah

[clever crystal]

not 100% sure

[jaunty burrow]

i'm a programmer

im trying to see

if they hide somethin on the code

of the website

i found that https://www.holtow.com/cart

[clever crystal]

they ARE hidding sumthing, like, wtf is this HTML?

[jaunty burrow]

yeah

and the thing is

its a svg so it must be an icon invis

the thing is

im gonna

[clever crystal]

no, its a gif

[jaunty burrow]

change the bg to see what it as behind it

[clever crystal]

oh you mean the bg

[jaunty burrow]

as u see its hidden

[clever crystal]

yeah, i saw it earlier

refresh my memory

wut Holtow was in game?

like, the service

im not 100% sure, but i think that it isnt a 'product' service

[velvet narwhal]

Virtual insurance

[tulip matrix]

Holtow is Virtual Insurance

[snow walrus]

Nothing has been eyed i checked..

[tulip matrix]

Some have said VRI may be Virtual Reality Insurance

So may just need to figure out the rest of the string

[jaunty burrow]

i'm gonna go home ill open the website on my laptop and try to see if i get anything in the code i'm provided with

brb

[clever crystal]

this makes sense, VRI

i mean

holtow as an product website with shopping cart

it would be idk, ISEUL-T with clothing and stuff

...

boys

iseul-t.com

go to the main page

THEY KNEW WE WOULD SEARCH FOR IT

ospuze.com exists, but still private on Squarespace

[tulip matrix]

probably they have the domains purchased but aren't ready to show them yet

[clever crystal]

that means

if the holtow is active

there IS something

volpe.com exists

i dont know if it is from the finals

looks too...HTMLISH(?)

naw, it isnt

or is it?

damn

if it isnt from THE FINALS, it looks, like something EE related

[tulip matrix]

First sentence on volpe.com
"Welcome to Poopli!"

[clever crystal]

lol

im trying every single sponsor

vaiiya.com exists...but nothing

https://www.reachthefinals.com/ospuze and /iseul-t works

[tulip matrix]

maybe try different top-level domains like .gg or .eu

[clever crystal]

hmmm nothing

we need to write down every working site til now lol

[clever crystal]

volpe.eu leads somewhere...not where we wanted, but it still somewhere heh

[tulip matrix]

/ospuze and /Iseul-t have worked since the beginning
There's also /burrw

[clever crystal]

yeah, but its sad thats only 2

[tulip matrix]

I imagine there are a bunch of hidden pages on the main site

For diamond clues and such

[clever crystal]

just thought about that

pages that we still dont know about

[shrewd grotto]

Btw are there any rewards for the egg hunt

[tulip matrix]

glory

[clever crystal]

happiness of beying part of something bigger

Also isn't Iseul-t triangle on the T blue and not red?

[velvet narwhal]

On the website its a pink color. https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t

the alzheimer strikes are real

just like holtow, reachthefinals has /cart as well, though i think it's just the website engine they used

anyone know what happened to the alien pistol thats displayed in the practice range?

there might be an hint in the new pic actually:

I need to buy my Christmas gifts from Holtow.com

[wicked pier]

ALSO the 7 mil doesn't have this (other than the fact it's heavily compressed but details)

[spring girder]

Are the lines on the top right usually there?

[wicked pier]

not in the 7 mil

[spring girder]

I checked the 7.5 mil one and in there the lines are evenly spaced

[wicked pier]

and the top half is smaller/transparent

apparently doing discord > save image instead of open in browser > save image, the latter makes it way down quality

[wicked pier]

read through barcode it just spits out 5

[sharp flame]

This seems like a code

[sharp flame]

Looks like morse between the larger blocks of black and the shorter ones

[spring girder]

I tried morse but didn't find anything

I'll try reading it the other way around

[sharp flame]

-.---...--....-.--..-..-

[spring girder]

nope nothing

[cursive birch]

It’s craZy that they gave time to do lore for this game W

[spring girder]

my bad I totally forgot how morse code works lol

like I forgot that you need spaces

[sharp flame]

The question is where the spaces would go

[spring girder]

yeah

[sharp flame]

Oh nvm it's backwards

[wicked pier]

binary
100100110100001100011101 = 9650973

[sharp flame]

-..-..--.-....--...---.-

[wicked pier]

9650973 is the same amount of numbers as the same amount of letters of GOLDEGG (REAL?) (jk)

[jaunty ore]

guys the level 5 weapon skin is white and you know what else is white? eggs

[spring girder]

well some of them

[hoary compass]

I've no chance of figuring anything out, you guys are incredibly resourceful, I'm so excited to see the progression as it goes along!

[main wraith]

that could mean a lot of things, you can separate like
-.. -.. --.- .... --.. .- --.-
D D Q H Z A Q

thats basic morse code, idk if that helps but just saying

[clever crystal]

it looks like this

[fresh quiver]

https://i.imgur.com/tUjbl9q.png

Every variation dcode could detect of the possible morse

[bitter yacht]

What did you use for that?

[fresh quiver]

https://www.dcode.fr/morse-code

And translate automatically.
You can set up things like ignoring spaces etc.

[bitter yacht]

Ty

Ill see if i can get anything

[bitter yacht]

I think that it isn’t showing everything

[fresh quiver]

thank you for posting it directly 😄

and just said these are varities from the possible morse

[hasty anvil]

It could be an anagram

A few can spell again

[clever crystal]

Young Artie?

Artie Young was a Afro-american dancer in between the 30's and the 40's

ayin is also name

there's also ayinger

[fresh quiver]

i see some problems right now in your Binary sequence.

Your binary is starting with "101100"
as from the morse "-..-.." your binary should be "100100"

Your end of the translation has the same problem

[plucky phoenix]

what is it if you reverse the sequence 101101110110001011001001 ?

[fresh quiver]

oh dear. Dumbass is also here 😄

why do i dont even wonder

[plucky phoenix]

hello! only here very tangentely. the organization and presentation of active clues here is well ....

[hazy lake]

I just work here

[fresh quiver]

ur still have some inconviences in your Binary. the end is "...---.-" your binary still says "11001001" even it should translate into "00011101"

[fresh quiver]

u mean documented? 😅

Morse translated into binary (- = 1; . = 0):

order:
101110001100001011001001

reversed-order:
100100110100001100011101

[velvet narwhal]

thats not possible. A letter is 8 bits long. And the morse code is only 24 bits long so decoded in ASCII it can only be 3 letters long.

And it wouldnt work, cause AFAIK the most significant bit in a byte is 0 for ASCII. So a byte in ascii must start with 0.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.

[fresh quiver]

think you could be right. from google:
"
7-bit
ASCII is a 7-bit code, representing 128 different characters. When an ascii character is stored in a byte the most significant bit is always zero."

yeah it can't be ascii as stated before, 7 bits starting with a zero

[deft dragon]

sadge

[unborn pilot]

Try binary and leet. The answer comes out to SOL EGG

[hasty anvil]

Gold = Sol?

[hasty anvil]

Binary is SOL EGG?

Sol is chemistry related, maybe we missed that chemistry is a theme

Latin and chemistry

[unborn pilot]

@hasty anvil 10010011010000011101 (binary) comes out to 603165 (decimal)

Which is also interesting as it’s so close to 1064 but using leet it became GOELGS

My brother noticed that had EGG and SOL

[hasty anvil]

Ohh so could be Sol , slo, los, Lso, osl or ols

Sol makes most sense

[tired glade]

Isn't sol the sun?

[hasty anvil]

Also thought this, could be short for solstice, which links to the other dawn clue we had

[unborn pilot]

Sol was interesting cause of the suns in previous clues and points back to golden color technically

[tired glade]

Or in roman mythology is the god of the sun.

[unborn pilot]

V true too

[hasty anvil]

Maybe we need an egg shaped star?

Makes me think of eta cass again

[wicked pier]

more roman references

[hasty anvil]

Rob knows we don’t need anymore Latin clues haha, we’re 100% on it now

The clue points to something else

[unborn pilot]

I always thought it was interesting that Gold AU is also AU distance to Sun

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

[tired glade]

Also interesting, though probably not related, there is a golden "Solar Egg" is Stockholm, Sweden

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/solar-egg

It kinda reminds me of the gold mask from in game.

[wicked pier]

unrelated, but now that i think about it, the gifts in the stockings do have a golden ribbon 👁️

[hasty anvil]

I think chemistry was an overlooked truth

And stars maybe

[wicked pier]

i mean, they dropped a chemistry spray about gold

[hasty anvil]

Yeah the au sign?

[wicked pier]

yeah

and it was "for us"

[twin hatch]

Are there any sun dials in the Monaco map?
It has a cathedral so there could be a pinhole and with the light coming down it could indicate maybe where to look or it lights up specific area on the floor with numbers of clock or just numbers?....I'm thinking as I type.

[wicked pier]

i know about the holtow QR code, but did anyone try about finding out the m11's skin barcode? i searched up and nobody seems to have done it..

[twin hatch]

Whatcha got on it?

I don't use the M11 so I never thought to look at it

[unborn pilot]

Do you mean the receipt printout?

If you can get a good picture of it that would help. I don’t have that skin

[twin hatch]

If we are supposed to be looking for AU being astronomical units then 79AU is a gargantuan distance. Just a theory maybe.

[wicked pier]

yeah that one

but also i don't have the skin, so i can't get a good shot on it

if it appears in the store maybe.....................

[twin hatch]

Thinking about angles and space because I know it's been mentioned. Radian angles, arcseconds or arcminutes may be in play possibly?

[tacit wedge]

Nothing from datamines. If you take a screenshot of it in game, then by all means.

Are you talking about the Holtow sticker?

[daring spindle]

yeah that and some clothes which have some rlly hard to read text

[quaint wing]

The Holtow one leads to a site with a blinking red dot which people are working on here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1185727960980922488

[fresh quiver]

did we talked about 7.5 or 10mil with the morse in it some messages above?

#easter-eggs message
Picture of the maybe "morse"

#easter-eggs message
some dcode possibilites whhen it would be "morse".

There you go.

[unique spruce]

rotundity, the roundness of a 3d object

golden ratio in latin is sectio aurea

[timid solstice]

yeah Im just catching up and investigating, seeing if anything else comes up

[fresh quiver]

Just wanted to send u that that u don’t miss it xd

[velvet narwhal]

Whats the rotundity of an egg? 🤔

[twilit ivy]

yo

[lusty gazelle]

not very

[silver finch]

heh reminded me of this https://scienceline.org/2021/11/a-new-equation-can-describe-every-egg/

[velvet narwhal]

well its rounder than a cube

[silver finch]

embed fail but its pretty interesting

wonder what namatama's equation is

looking more like college finals than The Finals

[fresh quiver]

Well in bf they used the golden ratio. It’s not that far away that some other games would use mathematics

FYI posting non egg-hunt related messages here is an instant one week timeout.

Hello fellas, I just joined the server (not the one which is down XD). Anyways, what picture are we decoding?

[ebon anchor]

couldn't that barcode thing be binary too? if we section it into segments of 4 - 1011 1000 1100 0010 1100 1001 - binary to decimal we get 299705 which reminds me of 299792,458 (km/h) which is lightspeed but there are 87 missing, but maybe just a coincidence

[hard forge]

Does this contain any clue for sure?

[ebon anchor]

I think that's what people speculate about at the moment

[lusty gazelle]

everything is a clue

😭

[fresh quiver]

Check. Just wanted to point out that mathematic things shouldn’t be sorted out. 🙂

[proud minnow]

I posted old Rob-trivia and logos earlier today... I guess I'm banned for a week... ._.

[hard forge]

that was posted on Twitter I guess

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-PykGIW4AAD9yL?format=jpg&name=large

[regal lintel]

I'd like to ask the big question here if this was a coordinated clue between Robbo and Oscar

ain't the first time he's talked about weeks

[quaint wing]

I think it's just a coincidence. Some things are on fire, and people flock to every channel they can to be trolls. Everyone got blasted to a 1 hour cooldown, but we didn't so we can keep discussing the eggs we find.

[rugged grail]

You're fine! 😄 I deleted a bunch of spam 🙂

[rugged grail]

If you wanted a week off from work Rob you could just have asked ❤️

[quaint wing]

He'll just use that week to hide something sinister in game that will take 12 steps and the whole lobbies co-operation 😦

[hard forge]

10 mil picture link?

[quaint wing]

#game-announcements message

[hard forge]

why is OSPUZE mentioned at the bottom? Shouldn't it be the new sponsors?

[pure loom]

Given our track record, it probably won't make much difference hahaha

Apart from us missing you

[unborn pilot]

since i'm not sure everyone checks threads. the missing letters in Vegas just turned out to be 164, 79, NQ #1182955042416893984 message

[wicked pier]

all the official posters like that and also the ingame banner have two split sections there, instead of one like that
plus if you want to really consider it, the image size has been bumped to 2k for this one, unlike the 7mil one which is also a jpeg, and therefore less quality.

[hard forge]

fair enough.

[hard forge]

"stormy weather"

[empty void]

[snow walrus]

Channel description might be helpful ^_^

[fresh quiver]

just read back through the infos etc. have some questions and try to keep up to date.

1. when was level 3 activated?
2. were there already any clue for level 3?
3. the wiki hints from rob states: "Hi.! Yes you CAN solve every EE (and level) with the first image, but, it’s hard… but the answer is there.! For every new image (or dusty text, hehe)"
   is this statement still valid?

[snow walrus]

1- Level3 isn't active
2-Might be (we don't know the Level3 for now)
3- Yes.

We have a diamond clue #1178137622359593043

[hasty anvil]

Level activation is on the wiki I think

[fresh quiver]

oh my fault. meant tier 3.

[snow walrus]

We are at Tier3 yes

L2 T3

Last tier of L2

Older tier's clues and passwords point to Tier3

[wicked pier]

is there a reason why tier1A and tier1B's passwords are in bold instead of normal text like the rest?

[snow walrus]

Are not the same all?

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[wicked pier]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2
nop

[timid solstice]

tier 2 solved here
#easter-eggs message

The password page went live around here #easter-eggs message

[snow walrus]

I noticed now yes they are bold really

[terse saffron]

That is weird...

What connects the two, other than gold

[snow walrus]

They are numbers

1064 79

[fresh quiver]

yeah just wondered a second ago too. just wanted to count each length of each password and which order they have. dont know why

[hard current]

oh you're Right, tier 1B is significantly larger tahn the others

[terse saffron]

The x on 1b was already solved iirc

[wicked pier]

let's find a pattern
the first two images were branded skin images
we got split from a two path, to a one path again, let's say the pattern restarted, would that mean it's either volpe or holtow skins teasers now?

i mean it would also make sense considering the 1 mil pic has both ospuze and isult now

[snow walrus]

C and D have shade behind. 6 pwds grouped by 2?

[fresh quiver]

dont know if you maybe can see a pattern in the length of each pass.

Tier length
1A 4
1B 5
1C 7
1D 7
1E 7
1F 8
2ABC 5
2DEF 5

[terse saffron]

Yes, that one I noticed

My initial theory was that being the format for the parts of the password

[hard forge]

💯

[terse saffron]

But I'm rethinking that now

[snow walrus]

Thats known but we couldnt connect with anything

[terse saffron]

We need to find a connection between the two I think

[wicked pier]

well, C and D both don't have guns in them

[terse saffron]

And then we do the same with the bold ones

[fresh quiver]

combination of how each of both were solved?

[wicked pier]

C and D are more of an advertisement poster

[hard current]

which ones are "bold" I see that the X is larger in tier 1B but that was solved

my guess is that the lettering in tier 1B is also larger due to the larger X

[snow walrus]

AB (bold)
CD (shade)
EF (?)

[terse saffron]

1a and 1b are bold

[hard current]

Are you sure? Tier 1A looks the same to me as the others

[terse saffron]

It's definitely bold

[snow walrus]

Check 0s and i

0viform 1064

Can't believe I hadnt noticed

[wicked pier]

let's take two triangles with points A,B,C and D,E,F
both C and D (bg difference) are in different groups, and usually in triangles there's a single vertex that can get the middle of one side

[terse saffron]

I tried to do that based on the five truths

Couldn't get anything, but I definitely didn't exhaust that area

[timid solstice]

it has been said in chat a few times

[snow walrus]

Bold difference?

[timid solstice]

pretty sure

[snow walrus]

I definitely missed

[timid solstice]

I think related to X-x

the angstrom clue ( 1B X is larger )

[snow walrus]

Probably was before i joined the hunt

[long willow]

Is the video up to date? Looking to catch up tonight

[velvet narwhal]

Dont know if this is anything.
The X in T1B is larger but the img itself is smaller (70.36x120.85)

Every other img is 92.74 x 120.85

[snow walrus]

Rob mentioned Amiga again recently

[fresh quiver]

@snow walrus since you mentioned the 0s etc.

just looking back at robs messages. this was already discussed but may be got out of focus.
#easter-eggs message
but with the 0 it may be important

[tulip matrix]

itty bitty finals logos

[snow walrus]

He does character substitution yea

Ready for 1week timeout ^_^

[fresh quiver]

five things that are true trough the tiers.

1. character substitution
2. no password has a length of 6
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?

[timber night]

I declare #1166680725832077353 be used as general 2

[wicked pier]

there's a thing called an ABCDEF Bundle which is a "evidence-based guide for clinicians to approach the organizational changes needed for optimizing intensive care unit patient recovery and outcomes"

[quaint wing]

My original theory to this was G=6, O=0, E=3, but couldn't find 2 more truths.

[wicked pier]

i mean life is "worth more than gold", and egg is also a symbol of life

[quaint wing]

That was also because GOLDEGG contained 5 letters, one truth for each letter. Things are starting to look more like goldenegg though based on the patch note bolds

[hasty anvil]

Everyone lagged out my ranked tourney final game, have Seoul night to myself to explore EEs haha

Trying gens now

[wicked pier]

patch note bolds?

[snow walrus]

The first patch

[quaint wing]

Yes. There were letters in the first set of patch notes that were bold letters. When rearranged, they came out to GOLDENEGG

[wicked pier]

oh, i thought this patch sets of notes, i looked it all and didn't find a clue, so i was a bit surprised lol

[fresh quiver]

yea. just noticed that there is no password with a legnth of six. another truth may be: that each of both tiers has Tier "x" A-F

[quaint wing]

I do like Samras line of thinking though. It's a whole other avenue I don't think I've seen yet.

[fresh quiver]

@timid solstice knows me already some time from another discord 😄

thank you c:

[coral wing]

1B X is bigger too

[hard forge]

I just noticed that the gold question mark is in bold but the white one is not.

[quaint wing]

The whiteboard clues and other things we found all amounted to G=6, or G=VI. Often enough anyway.

[snow walrus]

White one is like its shade

[wicked pier]

do i have to bring the stupid and say that the 1mil and 7mil poster had bold and non-bold text?

tier 1b lxxix also can be read as 79 (probably found?)

yep nvm

[quaint wing]

Yup. Flex was just going over that

[fresh quiver]

1064 79 ?

[snow walrus]

Check wiki

[wicked pier]

the info is all spread everywhere honestly it's kinda hard to keep track if you didn't follow at the start

(probably skill issue on my side)

[snow walrus]

No happens to everyone i think who joined later

Good hunting! 🥚

[snow walrus]

This is a good brief

[quaint wing]

Just about everything can be found on the wiki, or in the pins of this channel. It's a bit scattered, but it's a lot less scattered than it was

[fresh quiver]

got it

[unborn pilot]

it took me reading each padlet and every wiki page to grasp everything that's been done

[snow walrus]

You can use discord search with keywords to get deeper infos

[unborn pilot]

if you keep them open side by side as you go through tiers it helps alot

[snow walrus]

And filter rob's messages lol

[unborn pilot]

i also suggest Lulz' doc - it's more recent and has a lot of stuff missing from T1A in other places

https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/

[timid solstice]

this was a clue for angstrom units for Tier 1C
X-x

[snow walrus]

May SR be with the new hunters 🙏

[hard forge]

what is SR ?

[quaint wing]

Saint Rob.

[unborn pilot]

Saintus Robertus

SR is everywhere even in some maps

You can find his marks

Holy Saints!

3. g=6=vi?

[velvet narwhal]

In t1a 6 isnt vi

[quaint wing]

I'd say so, simply because we found that many clues about it. We also had a theory about things that were common in every single one. Latin is common in every single clue.

[fresh quiver]

so add that to the list?

also whats about that every past clue is a red X?

that also matches between the tiers

[hard forge]

10 mill in Roman is X with 2 bars over it

2 strings?

[quaint wing]

GOLD + EGG

[timid solstice]

and levels actually

five things that are true trough the tiers.

1. character substitution
2. no password has a length of 6
3. every past tier/level is marked as red X (#easter-eggs message)
4. ?
5. ?

[snow walrus]

Ok my shift is over, hope u find something new till i wake up. Good luck

OYE

[timid solstice]

as Rob was referencing Shakespeare again, I wonder if that is connected

perhaps quotes with gold?

https://www.azquotes.com/author/13382-William_Shakespeare/tag/gold

or golden
