[fluid geyser]

"This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o-erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire." act, 2 sc. 2 of Hamlet,,, has anyone looked over the alien stuff in the battle pass for any clues?

[quaint wing]

Rob also sent us the Ophelia quote.

[fresh quiver]

i hope some of you may check this out and tell me if it could be something or not. had another look at the 10mil poster again in more detail and found something (for myself suspicious) maybe.
The red lines marks the area between them. you can kind of see some thinner line going down there. also the area around the yellow dot looks like a 5.

https://imgur.com/a/molQ88h

kind of looks like number. but may be too tired after recapping some hours

[fresh quiver]

But heading off for tonight. Already too late. Hope we may have news later

[unique spruce]

there's a Macbeth quote that is "What, you egg!"

[quaint wing]

Right. I mixed up the other message from Rob that said "Ophelia = five truths"

[unique spruce]

heart of gold > egg of gold?

[turbid tinsel]

were any of the password latin?

or just the clues

[quaint wing]

Every clue contained Latin.

[velvet narwhal]

T1F: vitellus
and T1D a bit: Oviform is a combination out of ovum and form

[turbid tinsel]

ok, based on robs AND comment, kinda under the assupmtions it a mix of latin and roman numerals based on every other password

just not sure if its a 2word answer or latin mixed with roman numerals

[quaint wing]

Considering he thought he messed the password up and had to verify for himself

It makes me think there's a couple different variations it could be

[turbid tinsel]

which dont seem like a walk in the park lol

[quaint wing]

I'm sure it is if we find the correct way to encode it. Even if we don't there's only so many variations of specific ways to do it. Leet, roman numerals, straight up words.

[turbid tinsel]

open your eyes when posting in a channel and you'll get a better response

[quaint wing]

Praise be to Moon. Doing a great job ❤️

[graceful coral]

Hello, hopefully I can help with this ARG, ive done many in the past. After reading our current position in the ARG im still a little confused

perhaps I could get some answeres here

So as of now, we have gotten 2 Question mark images, one gold, one white. As for what to do next, does it not have anything to do with the those images? and instead timegated?

[terse saffron]

It's related to them, just pulling clues from the previous tiers

Nothing time gated

I'd recommend reading all the stuff in #egg-hunt-onboarding

[graceful coral]

gotcha, so looking at the rules, theres no need for metadata scrapping. So im assuming that theres clues inside the images by Brightenining it up, adjusting saturation?

[graceful coral]

yeah I thorougly went through everything, but still was a tiny bit confused

mostly it makes sense just tiny parts

[terse saffron]

Ah gotcha gotcha

[hard current]

there usually are, however both of these images have been analyzed to hell and back and are also super compressed, which is not good for hiding clues in them:)

[terse saffron]

I'm pretty new myself, but people here are very helpful, if you've got questions they'll probably answered

[hard current]

hence we think there isn’t anything hidden in the images, at least not with any methods we’ve tried over the month or two

[graceful coral]

Gotcha ok, so theres nothing to be found in any of these images

[hard current]

there COULD be, but there have been a large number of people that have tried and found nothing, there could be something but nobody has found anything worthy of note as of yet

[graceful coral]

yeah, and as steg isnt allowed per the rules. Thats off the table I suppose

ive done aton of these in the past like I said, such as recently completing the cyberpunk 2077 arg (where I got my name in the game 🎉 ) and several others, so im hoping that I have good input here.

question, Rob the main puppetmaster of this whole ARG, does he often have bad grammar or spelling errors? I noticed in some of the wikis they were used as possible hints towards a solution

[quaint wing]

He's a smart man who does thing with purpose. In most cases, there's a reason those mistakes exist. In others, he's tired.

[graceful coral]

ok, just curious as his recent message today had a few errors, but it mostly looked like fat finger or something lol

[regal lintel]

Hi Ryatt. It can be assumed spelling errors are intentional

[graceful coral]

Grammar as well? he uses ".!" alot

in his recent message

[unborn pilot]

some is allowed and intended. for example CNS & hacking was left/added in the metadata as a "photoshop-layer" name

[regal lintel]

That’s his signature

[gritty trail]

ayoo

im trash at this game day 2 its alright lol

[graceful coral]

ok, gotcha

[graceful coral]

makes sense, I noticed it was off slightly

[unborn pilot]

he also uses ._. for R in morse

[graceful coral]

gotcha ok

[regal lintel]

Oh wait?! Really!! I thought it was a cute smiley face

[unborn pilot]

its both!

[regal lintel]

Dead serious hahaha

@graceful coral we are working on a password based on 5 truths.

The five prevailing truths being:

1. Latin words
2. Roman numerals
3. Leet
4. Chemistry
5. Gold/egg

[hard current]

he’s very smart, assume spelling/grammar errors were purposeful;)

[graceful coral]

ok, that dials it down a bit

[hard current]

those are some SUSPECTED truths, unfortunately nothing is really confirmed

[turbid tinsel]

What if the images being ques and tion means maybe it's one word broken up into a split between 2 keys like Latin and Roman numerals

[graceful coral]

I saw him eye react a few messages

[regal lintel]

*suspected. Yes, sorry, suspected being the key word here

[turbid tinsel]

Last half is maybe egg related and first half is gold related based on the color for both images

[graceful coral]

do we perhaps have a thread of all tested passwords so far?

[regal lintel]

Yes

[velvet narwhal]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1175206999802249307

[turbid tinsel]

And maybe it's an 8 letter password since both images were 4 letters long

[graceful coral]

thank you

[unborn pilot]

we can't forget that night when rob eyeballed a ton of things being said

looking back that seems like when we got the most hints so far

[quaint wing]

We also struggle to put puzzle pieces together because we're too busy slamming a square in the circle hole.

[unborn pilot]

yeah i'm always chasing those light classes with my sledgehammer. should be hunting.

[wicked pier]

damnit

[quaint wing]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-no-no-embed-megamind-megamind-meme-gif-25261934

But honestly, that's what we end up doing. We really like learning here. We've learned so much about space, time, and everything in between. Hopefully, it all comes in handy soon enough

[graceful coral]

cool cool

Good hunting! 🥚

[quaint wing]

That's a couple good places to start, as well as some of the pins in this channel.

[graceful coral]

Yeah I read everything inside there a few times, just needed some questions answered

makes me think the word "Gold" is in latin, however "Egg" is in some other language

based off robs comments towards the suggestion

[regal lintel]

Which suggestion?

[graceful coral]

"Latin and..."

[regal lintel]

Latin and leet?

[graceful coral]

perhaps

"Gold" in latin and "Egg" in leet possibly?

[regal lintel]

Hmm, that’s not a terrible theory. Haven’t heard that one before

If we were going on the rules. 366

[graceful coral]

right that would be egg in leet yeah

then aura for gold

[regal lintel]

Aureum366

[graceful coral]

nada

ill put it in the list though

nvm I cant

perhaps just "gold" instead of "golden"?

aurum366

[regal lintel]

could be 3vivi

[graceful coral]

for egg?

aureum3vivi ?

[west condor]

Hey, I'm new here and i never did this kind of stuff, but if you're going to convert the 366 to roman numerals , why not convert it as the entire number? That would be CCCLXVI

[graceful coral]

hmm good poin t

aureumccclxvi?

[regal lintel]

Could be Latin and chemistry

[west condor]

from what i've seen people kinda tried Au (gold in chemistry) so that could be tried as well

[graceful coral]

theres that one sticker in the battlepass

that was just "Au"

ohh im just realizing that the images are supposed to reperesnt a gold questionmark and a egg questionmark

lol

[quaint wing]

Correct!

ABC was gold or viold, and DEF was egg or evivi. Since all the clues we got were g=6 and 6=vi

[graceful coral]

I was close, it was a store item @west condor

in the Gold Bundle

[unborn pilot]

gold especially looks like a bar of gold

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

i don't think it's anything about the coin necesarily, but the coin leads us to possibly to use "aureus" instead of "aurum".

T1F answer was vitellus, not vitellum https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vitellum also

[oak brook]

yo, do u guys know about holtow.com?

i went on it after scanning the barcode on the sticker, and its just a blinking red dot

[fallen jasper]

Same, literally just did it. I didn’t get a chance to read all the way through to where the hunt is now, but has the QR code been looked at?

[oak brook]

H5942617829-VRI is the code on it

the barcode also has a dot on it, just like on the website

hmmm

what if the H means Holtow

that would make sense

the sticker is "Holtow Quote"

[random bramble]

there's more info in here 🙂 https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1185727960980922488

[oak brook]

OH SHIT TY

[random bramble]

Holtow is an insurance company in game iirc as well

[fallen jasper]

Thank you for clarifying ☺️

[oak brook]

hmmm

yeah

its an insurance company

[twin hatch]

An alternative could maybe be aurum3gg

[coarse dagger]

I have two 1149 x 635 pixel images for the question marks

#easter-eggs message

No clue what encoding you're using here, but if you use ASCII or UTF8 you do not get the strings you're mentioning...

Ah.... that explains it.
This is a good example of why we don't use AI. We just end up with garbage to sift through...

#easter-eggs message

The passwords below the Xs are bolded on T1A and T1B, visible in the picture you posted.

I think the bolded passwords is unrelated to X^X. The different size Xs is in T1A/B is what rob was referring to..

Here's some more for you:
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

Thanks for all you do!

[quaint wing]

I'm genuinely impressed by your ability to roll through everything like that and respond.

[coarse dagger]

steg isnt allowed per the rules
Not sure what you're referring to here.... but steganography is literally "hiding information in other information", which is basically the definition of the easter-egg hunt.

[coarse dagger]

I have to if I want to keep up with everything. It's usually not too bad, usually no more than 15 minutes or so of reading/skimming.

[hard forge]

where did we get these 2 threads and 5 truth clues from?

[hard forge]

It could be nothing, but Egg contains vitamins A, B1, D and E

[coarse dagger]

Good observation, don't know where that would leave us with tiers C and F though.
I don't think we've had anything singling out tiers ABDE or CF thus far.

[strong mesa]

I'm not sure if it can get this complex, but relating to Shakespeare could it be possible part of the string from an image is a quote from his work broken down into code using a cypher?

[coarse dagger]

string from an image is a quote from his work

What string from what image?

[swift hemlock]

ooooo

[strong mesa]

Referring to the string of a decoded image

I cannot post images

I'll probably get zapped if I post a link

https://gyazo.com/821f905250eebacd16f89c31776aaf61

Nevermind

I believe the line numbers are in hexadecimal. So maybe a clue could reference a line number in an image to find a line of code to be deciphered

Might not be hexidecimal in those first numbers not too familiar with it

[coarse dagger]

Could be, but we have a lot of images which are comprised of a lot of data. We'd probably need some clue pointing us to look in a specific area of a specific image or we'd just be looking at bytes all day.

[coarse dagger]

Nothing really decoded in that. It's just the bytes of an image

[strong mesa]

True, but it's all data which can be manipulated so who's to say there isn't data implanted into it

I'll be on the lookout if any of those 0x000 header numbers pop up in any posted images to reference a line in the string of an image

Going though the latest 10mil image it's odd to see one line have a hundred characters compared to the usual three or four that all the rest have

All speculation

[swift hemlock]

give me easter eggs

[fluid fern]

someone can help me？

[terse saffron]

What with?

[sharp flame]

Sorry not the channel for that

[sharp flame]

It's actually pretty easy to spot

Esp after you tried (and failed) to use it yourself 😭

The easy way to tell is if the decoded message makes perfect sense and is generic, like HELLO or WELCOME or CONGRATULATIONS or SECRET MESSAGE or something that makes too much sense

Because believe it or not, the AI doesn't actually do any decoding, it just generates a likely solution too 😭

[tiny acorn]

Anyone noticed this website from scanning the QR code of the m11 holtow skin, not sure if the blinking is Morse or something -

https://www.holtow.com/

[strong mesa]

I believe that's just referencing a recording indicator

Like a video camera

It's called 5.15.25.gif

May 15th 2025 is the 135th day of the year, with 230 days remaining

Looking at notable events which stand out on May 15th, in 1963 it was the date of the final Project Mercury mission: Mercury-Atlas 9

There also may be something hiding on hand website if you look in the F11 menu or maybe if you boost the gain or such on the website itself

[fresh quiver]

There is a thread for the holtow thing as i heard.

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1185727960980922488

[strong mesa]

That thread is locked it seems

Or I'm just not high enough of a level yet

Oh and May is national egg month

Egg day is June 3rd

Jack and the Beanstalk has a goose that lays golden eggs (original in 1734, rewriting/renaming in 1807)

[distant thicket]

Not sure if this is part of the hunt, but the new watch, displays your actual PC time

[fallen jasper]

It isn't, at least that aspect of the watch probably isn't. The CB2 outfit watch also tells your actual time.

[distant thicket]

gotcha

Where are we at for cracking this code? I don't want to look at stuff that's already been found, like the back of the watch looks like it has throwing knives there

[daring bluff]

more confirmation the finals lore is our actual reality🥱

[twin hatch]

We are working on a password based on 5 truths.

The five prevailing truths being:

1. Latin words
2. Roman numerals
3. Leet
4. Chemistry
5. Gold/egg

did anyone found out wut this drawing means?

found another like this it twice, on diferent whiteboards, but diferent

oh, just noticed the NQ thing, nvm

[quaint wing]

#1175257406838677514

[clever crystal]

also, did someone figured out what "S Lies" meant?"

[terse saffron]

S Lies is a lore thing, not an EE hunt thing

[clever crystal]

oh boy

[terse saffron]

Still an easter egg, just not related to our password questing

[clever crystal]

and we already know how many there are to find?

[terse saffron]

Wdym?

[clever crystal]

like, lore messages

[terse saffron]

Ohh, nope

No clue how many there are

[clever crystal]

oh boy

time to tear some buildings down

[terse saffron]

[clever crystal]

the sad part is that, you need to note where you searched every match

like the maps werent big af hehe

[terse saffron]

Maybe I should try and do that myself LOL

Give me a break from the gold egg riddle

[clever crystal]

yeah hah, my brain stopped braining a while ago

[terse saffron]

I'm pretty much manually just running though possible variations

It feels like I need to know more

But it also feels like it should be clear

[clever crystal]

i swear i found a weird narrow place when playing in Vegas, it was such a perfect place to hide something

now i cant find it anymore

Imagine 2 rooms, but in between those 2 rooms, there where a gap where only the player would fit in a straight line

[terse saffron]

I just had an interesting interaction on vegas actually

Piece of debris with pretty much no gravity, was flying all over the place

Probably a bug, but was weirdly geometric for a piece of debris

[clever crystal]

it happened with me once, but with a whole building

it was flying with no gravity, and by the look of the other competitors, wasnt aa bug only on my side

i think that it would be a cool event, a No gravity, or REALLY HIGH GRAVITY

[terse saffron]

Really high gravity LOL

Fall damage

[clever crystal]

+jump disabled haha

since its a rendered arena
Lag EVENT: every X seconds, the screen flickers and you are teleported to a random location in a 10m radius of your actual location

Oh jeez

Philosophers stone — > Making gold

[sharp flame]

it's an important prop/piece in "DARK" on Netflix (best show ever) so it really surprised me when it showed up here 😭

[velvet narwhal]

This led me to look for the alchemical symbolism of an egg:
https://ebrary.net/153621/psychology/alchemical_symbolism

This looks interesting.

[terse saffron]

Also immortality

This password is kinda an equivalent to the philosophers stone

Being egg = life and gold = gold LOL

[unborn pilot]

I have been looking non stop. No luck but I make it a point every game to check under stuff, on top, behind, etc. My friend made an interesting observation that the rabbits possibly face direction of the next one and so on. But I gotta confirm

[terse saffron]

That's my take at least

Liquid gold take

Melting point was already a password though

I’m also now connecting now that our ready_ gif and Commodore 64 hints might be to point to C64 being Roman numberals for 164. A few of these clues are possibly pointing to use 0 as null

[sharp flame]

Then one is facing off the edge of the map lol

[simple plinth]

S Lies

I think the CNS Hackers are finding bad truth about the finals

[unborn pilot]

Tbh I only found the escalator one so yeah I had no clue

oh yeah, if this is binary then is says S 5 (1010011 & 0110101) 1 being green, 0 being red

[hasty anvil]

Excuse the bad quality gifts, maybe it’s the candy cane placements we need for the stockings

If each gap represents a number or something, it could be 1414 or something

I play on low settings (rip) but usually low settings show Easter egg stuff better

1414 is an angel number for believe in yourself, maybe Rob is trying to give us hope again haha

[meager spindle]

actually onto something

[unborn pilot]

this slot machine made some strange noises at me.

[quaint wing]

Merry your holiday hunters ❤️ May Saint Rob bless our hunt.

What’s the update on this haven’t been here in awhile

Solved?

[river flame]

waiting for rob

[terse saffron]

Not solved

Hopefully soon thoughhhh

[gloomy yarrow]

Hi, new to searching for EE in the finals, usually searching for EE within battlefield. Is there a big EE that you're all solving right now?

[silver ruin]

any info about da roses in the practise range?

[silver ruin]

any knowledge about max.gr. tear net cu.cap ?

Good hunting! 🥚

[gloomy yarrow]

So no leads at the moment but looking for the next thing?

[balmy fog]

One day I'll make a return, I promise you ❤️

I'm just tryharding the game right now, curr at 171 hours, plat 1, as soon as I reach D3 I'll come back

[quaint wing]

We've been trying to find the final password, but holidays, finals, and work have taken the hunters (myself included) pretty far away. We have a ton of clues and things we're looking into, including messages from rob, the whiteboards, looking for other connections in every other picture we were given. We have ideas, but nothing has seemed to work yet.

[gloomy yarrow]

And for new comers to the scene like myself can find all clues within pins?

[quaint wing]

Pins and the wiki

A lot of people have updated the wiki really well, and the google doc's in the pins have been pretty solid.

[gloomy yarrow]

Thanks. I'll take a look

[balmy fog]

Perhaps with the ton of new clues yall got maybe forgot that, we’ve had everything to find the password BEFORE the actual launch…

[brazen drift]

I know

We were too slow

[tough hinge]

What goes on in here, I haven’t had a look is it safe?

[keen sentinel]

egg

[burnt shard]

With the paths merging for tier 3 and the new clue images being both '?' it makes me think we have to overlay them in some way

But I have no clue

[faint rivet]

Merry Eggsmas hunters!! 🎄🥚
Let this day and Saint Jolly Rob bless us with great wisdom n knowledge for this Tier 3.

[timid solstice]

hey toby

[timid solstice]

some investigations from here
#easter-eggs message

[gloomy yarrow]

@timid solstice Hey Flex mate! Thought I'd come across a familiar name with The Finals being ex Dice devs

[stable bramble]

has anyone noticed that Brown-Eyed Girl's earring looks like ち (Japanese character for chi)？

[timid solstice]

we thought it is the alchemical symbol for Saturn
#easter-eggs message

[stable bramble]

gonna go through the rest of the images and see if i find any more characters

[timid solstice]

sure thing

worth checking the padlet and
https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/T1D/Wallpaper_Brown_Eyed_Girl

[stable bramble]

on it

does the iseult skin from the candy have an in-game equivalnt?

doesnt look like it

there's text on the M60 from the Ospuze promo that isn't in-game

right under the ospuze logo next to the bullet intake

looks like it says comissar x or something

tier 1b and 1a being bold makes me think a clue for tier 3 is in em

[topaz echo]

.

[gloomy yarrow]

Bloody hell reading the TFEE document is a serious read! Very well documented

[stable bramble]

yeah i noticed a qr code in a cosmetic and went down a very deep rabbit hole

[dense moss]

are you talking about that one holtow sticker?

[stable bramble]

yep lol

the one that leads to the website with the blinking dot

[quaint wing]

They've done a great job documenting things on the wiki. Everything else we've been trying to do has been in threads and just throwing shit at the wall right now. Something might stick soon!

[hard current]

merry christmas and happy holidays ee hunters!!:)

[heady mango]

What we get from ee?

[lilac scaffold]

and if you're me, autism boost

[jaunty ore]

eggs 🥚

[sharp flame]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love it

[timid heron]

Morse code?

Also, the website didn't load for me so that's unlucky

[stable bramble]

good question

one thing i just noticed while looking through the padlet

the ymf292 in the burrw gif

it's the chip for the saturn, right? meaning that the symbol I thought was a chi is incorrect

[timid heron]

My other suggestiom is that it could be a tap code
Aight imma go to sleep

[stable bramble]

too uniform

[clever crystal]

imagine if there where some frames of the gif that lasts 1 more frames, so we wouldnt notice at naked eye

[velvet narwhal]

I once took the gif apart and its only made up of 2 frames. So there shoudnt be any morse or tap code in it.

[clever crystal]

oh boy, thats sad

[stable bramble]

yeah i think haltow is useless rn

[fleet current]

Btw Harry Potter has a huge golden egg in it. The goblet of fire. But I doubt, that Harry Potter is connected to T3 since it was stated that we have everything we need, and HP didn’t occur anywhere before.

[slate arch]

the back of the tama view egg charm has the numbers 8888 (idk if useful)

[terse saffron]

Makes me think of the 4444 on the whiteboards

[worthy pecan]

have we found anymore clues behind walls or was that for a different level

[stable bramble]

honestly it's so hard to go sleuthing in a match lol

cause i dont want my team to feel like they're missing a player

[stable bramble]

not just C4, anything explosive

the Flamethrower also catches something on fire briefly

and the hitmarker (when you use explosives) appears multiple times

[strong mesa]

Interesting

I know that area behind that wall maybe still contains the toturial area but I have no idea what would recieve damage

Speaking of the training area I don't trust that dummy hidden behind the barrier walls in the house

[clever crystal]

when i see that someone died, i play normally so if they spactate my i dont look sus

[strong mesa]

Also the message "Seek the truth beyond the walls" from the closed beta 2 video is the main reason why I'm suspicious

Also whenever I'm dead ingame I try to freecam around the outside barries to see if anything stands out

Or that could mean in relation to the walls of the arena as a whole and was a precursor to looking for clues in the images

[unique spruce]

gold egg is an egg made of the metal, gold; and golden egg is an egg that has the color gold, but may or may not be really made of gold itself.

I haven't been as active in here but I've been pondering

[stable bramble]

lmao same

[stable bramble]

lol i just went "fuck y'all" and ran around Seoul

[mild bolt]

the barrier walls inside the house? I'm prolly dummy but could you show me what you mean?

[gloomy yarrow]

In laymen terms, you have a promotional picture used to advertise the game prelaunch. Hidden within the image is a series of codes that become uncovered when image editing is applied. At the moment you're hoping for someone to find another hidden symbol, number, code or anything suspicious. Or are you onto finding EE with launched game?

Just trying to wrap my head around where you all are as coming in cold as an outsider

[mild bolt]

I wanna join the easter egg hunt but I feel I'm not good enough to help

[hard current]

everyone can help in their own way 🙂

don't worry at all, everyone is welcome

[mild bolt]

What'd be a good place to begin looking?

[hard current]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

it's gonna feel like a lot of information and tbh it sort of is 😉

watch the video in there for sure, it explains a lot of different methods and how things occur

then read the wikis:) they explain everything up to this point!

[mild bolt]

Don't worry, I've read the entire lore of tf2, fnaf and inscryption, I can handle quite a bit of info

[hard current]

go get em tiger

@mild bolt

[mild bolt]

ty devx

[hard current]

well, it's 2:30am for me and I haven't made any new connections or had any new ideas with what we got, gn homies

I wish we could find a time to get all the EE hunters together, maybe in a VC, might be really beneficial...

[coarse dagger]

Already solved, see T1B documentation

[mild bolt]

@hard current I look at the videos and damn that is a lot

[terse saffron]

I have an idea

There was a comment from rob a while back where he said he checked the password to see if it had been mistyped

So surely what we were talking about right before that must be fairly close to the mark

[verbal minnow]

anyone know anything about a rose in the practice arena park area

[mild bolt]

me?
Nah but fr I haven't seen a rose yet, I'll look for it

[verbal minnow]

its sitting on the park bench I think, you can pick it up

[mild bolt]

hmm

Also I don't trust the heavy dummy inside the container there tbh

[hard current]

nobody has found anything special with the roses yet iirc

[hard current]

I was looking at the exact same thing today, we were “close” at one point but

maybe try isolating what passwords from before december 5 at that time rob sent that message have spelling errors

[terse saffron]

Yessir

[heady mango]

Good fantastic mornin

[opal wraith]

so whats the latest clue we got rn?

[timid solstice]

There are 5, we tried killing the dummy next to it with all 5 but it did nothing

[timid solstice]

There are 2 hunts;
TFEE which has been based around finding clues in artwork to unlock the next tier ( some clues have been posted here in chat and there are some hints in game we found)

The other is TEH ( The Epic Hunt ) which we dont really know if we’ve started or not

There are also messages left by a group, calling themselves CNS

Some more info from saint rob #easter-eggs message

[fallen jasper]

Emm?

[simple plinth]

Any new info on lore/easter eggs?

[potent gate]

Oh, this looks interesting

[timid solstice]

We are still stuck on how to enter the password for Tier 3

We think it’s “golden egg” perhaps in Latin or leet

As for others there is a lot to find

But people like playing the game!

[round thistle]

Sorry wrong chat MB

[timid solstice]

Look at this evil alphabet , would rob use this

[hard forge]

Rob said to "combind" the 5 truths.

And no "EE's" promise

was the d in combind intentional?

[tulip matrix]

[snow walrus]

now he can

[fallen jasper]

Iv only just discovered this channel so can someone catch me up on the important Easter eggs

[ripe relic]

Mmmmmm eggs

[pure loom]

#egg-hunt-onboarding is a good place to start

[fleet current]

Is there an up to date collection of all clues for t3?

Cuz the padlet isn’t up to date no more, afaik

[fallen jasper]

Thanks

[upper summit]

https://tenor.com/view/eiereken-gif-26923285

[unique spruce]

dont remember seeing the question mark images being run through fotoforensics, has anyone looked at that? https://fotoforensics.com/analysis.php?id=3e82164c81697d39732ae2ddd6bc2cc541ef201b.144868&fmt=ela

gold and egg in latin is aurum et ovum (was thinking rob's emphasis on "AND" meant we need to also translate AND to latin)

^

[sand robin]

new to this, and its kinda hard to jump straight into the hunt. But we're guessing code from t3 right? And we gotta look into the 2 question mark pics, and we got something with gold egg?

[rotund raft]

Romance, Roma? Rome in Italian is called Roma, and the language Romans use Latin words, so I think rob is just telling us that Rome is a correct way?

[timid solstice]

it is up to date, thats all the clues we have really

not sure if you scrolled down but there are confirmed things from chat there

[snow walrus]

16 bottles

if we assume blacks are 1 we get 0100 0010 0000 = 1056 in decimal

otherwise 1111 1011 1101 1111 = 64479 = FBDF in hex

[sand robin]

this hex is 420 lol

[dense moss]

fbdf apparently stands for fast binary data format, but im not sure what it could be referring to

[rotund raft]

I have a question, Latin is kind of born from ancient Greek Language. So is the EE just about Latin or even include ancient Geek. I mean I have no idea what am I talking about, don't take my words seriously.

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[rotund raft]

Ah, thanks. Just wondering about this, glad to know there is an answer

[fleet current]

I know, but like this message isn’t even on there #easter-eggs message, and I would argue this is rather important is it not

[timid solstice]

I see yes we can add that

[faint rivet]

Also too A H E are missing from some of the words. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[faint rivet]

Idk why I’m thinking the password is abbreviated or acronym. Think it’s possible?

[burnt shard]

Do we know what the 5 truths are? I'm thinking gold, egg, latin, leetspeak and ?

Space, roman numerals, ruby? HMMMM

[strong mesa]

Has anyone brought up the Chip In sticker?

https://gyazo.com/a37a48def1b11b62f3d8b3da31213089

645132

Also the white bars on the sides of the individual die could refernce the numbers adjacent to them too

[north musk]

can someone update me on progress?

what we trying to figure out here

[unique spruce]

#645132

[stable bramble]

ah yes

B r o w n

[strong mesa]

True that is a hexcode

Closest thing I've found name wise to that is "Old Copper"

[unique spruce]

was finding a link between space/stars/constellations and egg/gold egg. came across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_(Fabergé_egg). looks like it was mentioned before

Fauxbergé lol

AO Cassiopeiae is a binary system composed of an O8 main sequence star and an O9.2 bright giant. The two massive stars are so close to each other they distort each other into egg-shapes

[strong mesa]

Oh that's neat

Is there anything in the space/flat earth section of the battlepass that stands out to that?

[north musk]

alein stuff

[north musk]

the flat tastic fob on page 11

disc of dispute is there too

the emote

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message

[strong mesa]

Ah that makes sense

Didn't know it was in that order naturally

[timid solstice]

Yes, the opposite sides of a die add up to 7

But this order is off

[echo quarry]

Uwu

[sharp flame]

Saw that post too lol, looks cool

[unborn pilot]

Reminded me of these in Vegas a bit. Would be funny if they spelled out six six six.

[stable bramble]

OH HOLY SHIT WHAT

[clever crystal]

WHERE

[river plaza]

has anyone scanned the url code from the M11 Holtow budle?

[clever crystal]

yeah, holtow.com

[river plaza]

I just noticed it I was curious if anyone else sow its too

[clever crystal]

meanwhile, its just a blinking dot

who knows

[river plaza]

could have a connection somewhere

[wild comet]

what about the movies in las vegas

[river plaza]

I've never been there so I wouldn't know

[wild comet]

im not saying the exact movies but like reference from the movies in the las vegas map

[river plaza]

ohhhh

[clever crystal]

did someone checked this grave in monaco?

[unique spruce]

its actually a quote from a book

https://www.leslibraires.ca/livres/memoires-d-un-navigateur-albert-1er-prince-de-monaco-9782750901882.html

[clever crystal]

hmmmm indeed

[unique spruce]

looks like it may be word for word a replica of the real grave

wonder if this may be a truth. things that are in the game that reference a real (true) thing in meatspace

[unborn pilot]

those are in that casino/mall. in the hall between the stores i believe.

i flipped them around and all 3 are very close to being the same thing. i'm not sure what the exact right angle would be if it was to be decoded, it could be any of the 4 rotations.

i tried a reverse image search in case it's from vegas, but nothing came up. someone else maybe try too with a better photo.

[clever crystal]

it reminds me The Vogues icon

[mild bolt]

regularly blinking or with different timings?

[clever crystal]

regular bling, 2 frames only

[mild bolt]

Ah okay

@proud minnow Hello, I really like FPS games, but I can't cheat. I have 6 years of experience in FPS games and I hate cheaters. I have even paid $16 for a pass. Secondly, I'm also an Apex player and I know very well that cheating can damage the game and it's impossible to turn on the cheat software. I really enjoyed the finals. I had played over 100 hours before I was banned. I hope you guys can help me get unbanned. Thank you! I can not send you a private message so I can only explain the situation here if you see it please reply to the official website before Christmas I left a message to complain and did not get a reply!

Link back to this because I feel like it must be based on this area of conversation

How do you figure? Kinda hard to map this to a circle

[coarse dagger]

I wonder if this is what rob was referring to here:
#easter-eggs message

@proper kraken this chat is for easter eggs only, please stop spamming the chat with unrelated posts.

[proper kraken]

I'm sorry I didn't realize I was interrupting. Sorry.

[timid solstice]

Ah sorry I thought someone said it was compared to the real chip #easter-eggs message

[sand robin]

the thing that bothers me is that the 2 and 3 arent diagonal on the chip

like from corner to corner

[ruby falcon]

go down the XRP rabbit hole lol

[cosmic scarab]

Do we have an archive of easter eggs for this thread i could look at to catch up? Like whats solved and whats dead ends?

[sand robin]

i think the main ones are on the padlet for the current one (link in #egg-hunt-onboarding )

[cosmic scarab]

Thanks friend, i just got onto this trail from the QR code. Didnt even know something was going on lol

[sand robin]

lol same

[hard forge]

1+2+3+4+5=?

maybe the password is a mixture of letters in 5 truths.

[cosmic scarab]

Do we have any idea what the end result of the easter egg may be? Maybe there is an answer in the answer.

[hard forge]

Did you check the padlet?

[cosmic scarab]

I did not where is it

[terse saffron]

https://padlet.com/Kyne

Padlets

[cosmic scarab]

Thanks.

[hard forge]

we are solving the question mark.

Also check this out
#easter-eggs message

[cosmic scarab]

So maybe i phrased my question poorly. Do we have an idea what the pay off will be, ie a gun skin, clothing cosmetic etc. Maybe the answer is in what the reward is. If that makes sense

Actually looking at that posts tells me im probably wrong unless that method jumps a bunch of steps.

[fresh quiver]

Level 3 from the Easter Egg 😄 What is hidden behind it? We dont know until we solved Level 2 Tier 3

[cosmic scarab]

Yeah, ive just seen in some games before that its like "we know at the end we get a skin for X gun so by looking heavily into that weapon we were able to obtain an answer" idk its hard to explain what im saying

[velvet narwhal]

The only reward is the joy of solving a hard puzzle

[cosmic scarab]

I see, well either way im interested in how it all turns out.

[sand robin]

i dont think there has been said if and what the reward would be except for going to the next level

altough a golden Nama Tama weapon charm would be a good reward lol

fitting*

[cosmic scarab]

Thatd be cool. Maybe this is just me but im interested in the lore of the game. A vr tournament game show? Thats some black mirror stuff.

So a lore reward is just as good for me.

[strong mesa]

My guess is that the easter eggs are to uncover lore about the game, and if there's anything to unlock it will be a series of steps anyone can do if they want similar to the battlefield easter eggs

[velvet narwhal]

Thats also my guess

[stable bramble]

#official-art message

i just noticed - the flower in the tattoo is a rose

and while it's probably unrelated it does just so happen to be from Rob

[timid solstice]

Hmm maybe you are onto something

It could represent “rose gold”

And the white paint in the other “egg shell”

[fresh quiver]

with "rose gold" you could make other things up or new things like the composition

Rose gold is a particularly precious variant of red gold with proportions: 75% gold, 22.25% copper, 2.75% silver```

[strong mesa]

The hexcode coming from the poker chip was "Old Copper"

[fresh quiver]

even another idea: during ancient times, due to impurities in the smelting process, gold frequently turned a reddish color. This is why many Greek and Roman texts, and some texts from the Middle Ages, describe gold as "red".

maybe translated to "red egg" instead of "gold egg"

[fresh quiver]

would make sense then kinda

[strong mesa]

There is also a chicken called the Copper Marans which lay copper looking eggs

[timid solstice]

The chip is a standard poker chip, so hex would be coincidental

[timid solstice]

So ancient gold was more akin to rose gold maybe?

I guess apart from Inca gold perhaps

[fresh quiver]

could be yes.

Also there wikipedia says that the highest karat version of "rose/red gold" is also named "Crown Gold" with 22karat

just throwing in the infos i found about rose gold

Crown gold is a 22 karat (kt) gold alloy used in the crown coin introduced in England in 1526 (by Henry VIII).[1] In this alloy, the proportion of gold is 22 parts out of 24 (91.667% gold). Crown gold is appreciably less prone to wear than the softer 23 kt gold of earlier gold sovereigns — an important point for coins intended for everyday use in circulation.

[sly tangle]

A short question
How does this egg hunt works ? I saw that there is a video for beginners, is it useful or is it better if I ask everything here ?

[sand robin]

yea watch the vid hha

[sly tangle]

*is it ?

[sly tangle]

Ok thanks

[sand robin]

or at least untill 7:30 and everything after 22:30 imo

but the entirety of the vid gives a good overview

[fresh quiver]

or read the whole wiki regarding the easter eggs

[timid solstice]

After a bit of catchup we can happily answer any questions

[sand robin]

I think im basically caught up now. But we should have all the information now, but we just havent linked them properly?

[fresh quiver]

exactly. I think that was what rob said

[sand robin]

hmm

[hasty anvil]

someone asked for lfg, i directed them away from here?

[pure loom]

looks like they deleted their message, so it just looked like you were using the channel for the wrong reasons haha. all good

[hasty anvil]

damn ive been around for a while too here lol

[pure loom]

There were people pinging Rob about banned accounts in here the other day, so I think everyone is just jumping on anything that isn't EE-related now

[sharp flame]

lmao without the deleted message it looks out of context 😭

[hasty anvil]

Yeah I get that, but I’m a regular here I know not to misuse this chat haha

Anyway it’s done now, no worries

[pure loom]

As soon as you went to the dark side, we were like "Wig who?" hahaha

[ripe relic]

people using channels for wrong reasons?

couldnt be me

[sharp flame]

White Rabbits on Seoul, we need to SCAN the map

I haven't found an EE on purpose yet 😭

[fresh quiver]

alloborate more

[sharp flame]

There are 5 hidden on Seoul, we have found 2

[velvet narwhal]

I am scanning everytime when we team wipe but havent found anything yet :(

[ripe relic]

bet one is on the construction modifier

[velvet narwhal]

i think ones on every district

[sand robin]

ive been thinking about the password all day and im losing my mind 🥲 , come at the point where i feel like we already got the password but just miss-typed it XD

[pure loom]

I've looked in so many places

[solar glade]

imagine if we need to use Recon Senses for it

[velvet narwhal]

or thermal vision

[sharp flame]

the only tricky thing about WRs is they only become visible when you get close enough

so wide pans will not catch any of them, nor aimless spectating

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/noo-no-father-elf-will-farrell-gif-14042015

[sharp flame]

you really have to go right up to them

even the Seoul mall one disappears if you're at the bottom of the escalator

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/gerald-butler-madness-mad-angry-insane-gif-7844903

[velvet narwhal]

Did yall ever look into this?

[sharp flame]

we should

one of the screens was an EE before too

[coarse dagger]

I think this is a good prediction.
We've found one in Mall and one in Data Center.

[coarse dagger]

This has been tried. The existing known WRs don't show with thermal

[pure loom]

Duh and I spent a lot of time looking in the building with the large courtyard area, but no luck

We didn't know about the close-up requirement though

[coarse dagger]

There are so many nooks and crannies (in all maps, not just Seoul where the WRS are):
Above drop-ceilings in commercial buildings.
Below raised floors (lots in Vegas)
Behind/under props
Small enclosed dead spaces hidden in roofs Monaco-esque buildings
Edges of maps requiring goo (or the brief teamwipe freecam) to inspect

[pure loom]

The panelled ceilings in Seoul seem like a likely place

[split pasture]

What are you guys talking about? What are these “WRS” things?

[sand robin]

white rabbits i think

[split pasture]

And what do these “white rabbits” do?

[noble ivy]

they easter eggs

[split pasture]

Do they do anything to continue this chain of Easter eggs?

[noble ivy]

idk

[sand robin]

they shouldnt i think, its also confirmed that we already have everything we need to get the current code. We just have to make the right connections

[noble ivy]

code?

[sand robin]

check #egg-hunt-onboarding , the first link is where we need to enter the code

[split pasture]

So what’s the stuff we have to make the code?

[split pasture]

I have an idea! Maybe the answer is actually the main hints to T2ABC and T2DEF combined and changed (like it was done to find out the code for each of them)

[sand robin]

i think the main hints are indeed Gold and Egg. We have to combine those two. The only question is how

[noble ivy]

Golden Egg :3

[fleet current]

That’s actually pretty much confirmed. Our current guess is a variation of „goldenegg“

[split pasture]

Well I checked Roman numerals. Maybe we have to take the Roman numerals from the word and combine them?

Roman numerals have been prevalent in the passwords so far

[fleet current]

There is a nice pic in the padlet

Yes

[noble ivy]

its 2x "T2" and then "ABC" and "DEF" so the alphabet

maybe T2GHI

[fleet current]

There are 5 truths which when combined with golden egg should give us the final password

[split pasture]

I’ll try that

[fleet current]

The 5 truths are true for every previous puzzle

[sand robin]

what truths do u think they are

[split pasture]

How do you know this?

[fleet current]

Our current guesses are, Latin, Roman numerals, leet speak iirc

[sand robin]

Saint Rob said so

[fleet current]

Rob confirmed it

[split pasture]

[sand robin]

those are only 4

but i think he did say once there are 4/5

[fleet current]

#easter-eggs message

[split pasture]

I know! How about Greek stuff?

[fleet current]

Those are 3

[split pasture]

That could be the 4th one

[fleet current]

There hasn’t been any Greek stuff

He also stated that he wants to avoid Greek

Cuz it would get too confusing with Latin and Roman numerals

[split pasture]

Ah ok

[sand robin]

oh, thought leet speak and iirc were diffrent lol

[fleet current]

Or rather old Greek language not Greek itself

iirc = if I remember correctly

[sand robin]

werent there some greek mythology clues?

yea prob

[split pasture]

There were

That’s why I mentioned “Greek stuff”

[wicked pier]

gold = 71 79 76 68
egg = 69 71 71
the difference between the first letters brings 15
68 (D of gold) + 15 = 83

83 = S

[noble ivy]

how are gold and egg these numbers?

[wicked pier]

text to decimal

[noble ivy]

ah

and why is the D of gold?

[wicked pier]

egg is 3 letters, gold is 4

[noble ivy]

risky theory

[wicked pier]

still worth trying

[noble ivy]

true

and what says us the S tho?

[tame bramble]

Anyone visit the holotow website?

[noble ivy]

nope dont even know what that is

[tame bramble]

Look what I found

Dang I can’t add pictures

[split pasture]

Dm it to us

[noble ivy]

yea

[split pasture]

This website could help out ALOT

[unborn pilot]

Might have been a clue for the new map. Also interesting that it’s 366 (egg) ft tall

[unborn pilot]

Full thread on that here #1185727960980922488 message

[tame bramble]

Dang tardy to the party

[velvet narwhal]

Those are the only screens i have found.

1  439  B2161  ?????
2  438  B2919  C0303
2  437  B0761  ?????
1  436  A8576  26305

The codes are the same in lulz images so I think it's the same in every match.
Can someone translate the Korean in the table?

[unborn pilot]

Well now you’re early for the next one or still on time to solve this final tier so we can move on!

[unborn pilot]

If I can get a better picture tonight in game I can try.

[hard current]

there has been some greek in the older tiers

[noble ivy]

the translation says reception-storage

also what map is that?

[tame bramble]

Seoul

[noble ivy]

alr

ima try find more screens

[tame bramble]

How far are we in this Easter egg hunt

And has there been any hints as to what it may reveal

[noble ivy]

maybe there is something at the reception and storage

[hard current]

search for messages from rob_embark

and then click them and scroll up and down a bit

you’ll see his hints as well his eyed messages

when you see 👀 under a message and it’s from rob, it means it’s correct

[unborn pilot]

6 of 7 passwords completed in current level. Then a whole new one

[crisp glen]

The golden ? picture reminds me of the rare logo

[noble ivy]

what are the passwords?

[unborn pilot]

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

[noble ivy]

ah

[pale arch]

whats the point of finding the easter eggs anyways? i usually go for them in games if they have some rearding info or item to them

[noble ivy]

whats what we try to find out i think

[pale arch]

oh, thats disappointment thanks for letting me know

[noble ivy]

i think it makes the whole thing more interesting

[pale arch]

yeah thats opinion no reward no point to me lol but have fun with it ima just kill mofos, this games easter egg hunt is stail to me haha but fr

[noble ivy]

who says no reward?

[pale arch]

its not gonna worth it is all im saying its not a satisfying Eegg

[noble ivy]

if u think so

[pale arch]

only gonna give maybe new maps and gun camo hints etc...

ik so 😉

[noble ivy]

its more the fun of solving then the rewards for most ppl ig

[worn badger]

i found SR above a secret coffee shop door in barcelona

next map = barcelona 2049

[obtuse mason]

Um

How can i post videos or pictures here

[sly tangle]

I don’t know
I am also not able to post sth here

[obtuse mason]

Because i have something interesting to show

[copper zodiac]

I've noticed this glowing red dot in game, any idea what it is? an Easter Egg?

[timid solstice]

Isn’t that a team mates ping marker?

[copper zodiac]

nope

That's the normal marker i think. Sorry it might be nothing , just saw it and thought it might be some sort of an Easter Egg

I could be wrong, forgive me

[fresh quiver]

Wouldn’t it be possible that one of the 5 truths would be „no 6 character passwords in past tiers“? 🤔

[timid solstice]

Weve seen them before but it’s normally on that skyscraper, perhaps it’s a light from the construction variant

Ah here

#easter-eggs message

[leaden galleon]

Yes thats the enemy marker ping that teammates can make

[sharp flame]

Could be something yeah! If so we'd need to find more of them

[echo plover]

Who is the organizer of The Finals

[loud tiger]

Easter eggs

[fleet current]

wdym? embark | rob is the organizer of the TF easter egg hunt

[timid solstice]

@leaden galleon @sharp flame I posted what it could be just above https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1171280414208438343/THE_FINALS_11_3_2023_7_19_40_PM.png?ex=659cb464&is=658a3f64&hm=e2012a791128d4e1fce6d0ae9e8b0fd11c5d5c3c467cd64a25fdcb68c6529704&

[leaden galleon]

that does seem like a likely suspect, its just an odd angle, would love to see it in game myself

[fast umbra]

oh

[crisp glen]

During an event the big blue sign on Seoul has a red bar with some letters on the left side of it. but maybe its just refering to the fact the sponsors do the events

Maybe thats a sign to look at in game signs during events for any changes

[proud minnow]

I am NOT guilty for that tag, haha... been skateboarding several times in Barcelona but never made any graffiti or street art there, I promise... however it's a beautiful city and the home of Modernisme, love it.!

[gloomy yarrow]

Is there any way to explore the maps in a practice way to search for EE?

[crisp glen]

sadly no

[young bronze]

ok

I don't understand. We have eggs in game now?

[stuck plover]

yeah you use them like the dagger where you sneak up behind and then smash the egg on their head. they feel great shame, what with all the egg on their face. easy W.

[wicked pier]

Modernisme... you say?
1888 and 1911.. again...

[sand robin]

why again?

[wicked pier]

in snowy monaco there's a pair of stockings stuffed with gifts over a fireplace, the gifts would spell a word or name, and eventually connected to edward lear, which made a painting called "Finale", in 1888

[unborn pilot]

I see more 78, 79/0, and 164 from Rob

[crisp glen]

there a Fabergé egg called Cherub with Chariot crafted in 1888

[timid solstice]

Hopefully we get a custom mode in the future

[drowsy pilot]

is there a reason that this sticker is called the cr.i.p.tic (cryptic) tribute, is something hidden in the mausoleum medley pack?

i know this is probably old news but i just found out about it

[timid solstice]

I think we spoke of it a little

It could be in the style of robs other sprays

And he is very cryptic

[bold merlin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oye_Cómo_Va could it have anything to do with this?

space war came out in 1962...

and there's alien themed cosmetics in the battlepass

I might just be onto nothing lol

[bold merlin]

and the santana version of this song came out in 1971

[olive stone]

hiii

[quaint sage]

The creators are Crips 💙🥶🔵🔹🌀🟦🫐

[daring spindle]

oye is just a word in spanish, that's a song that's just using the word
i think ur reaching by a lot

[mystic kestrel]

Sr. is short for Mister in here, or translation of Mr.

[fresh quiver]

Sr is the short form of mister? didnt knew that.
Only know sr = saint rob 😅

[mystic kestrel]

I mean, in my language the word Mister is Senhor, and it's short is Sr.

[sly tangle]

Thats a good point in my opinion

[quaint wing]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Church_Of_The_Holy_Hunters - This might shed some light on SR. Saint Rob has been the running joke for a lot of the hunt.

[coarse dagger]

I noticed this on the middle building in Seoul. I've always thought it was just a light for alerting aircraft to the top of the building.

[sand robin]

yea same, always thought its just a light

[hard current]

weird question, has anybody tried shooting the light

[tacit ember]

this might be me being just too random clue brained or something but the fingerprint smudges on the back of the crips spray looks intentional/ kinda like a question mark

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/417862302210195456/1190057014257274911/back_of_cryptic_spray.png?ex=65a069f6&is=658df4f6&hm=739b38f76e4bbd98636d014625dbaf53b0e6f4d64e9086bba0bc59df59ec0a01&

bit hard to see in a screenshot but if you move the glare around

[ionic orbit]

could be unintentional or intentional by one of the devs but I don't think its necassarily an easter egg per say, definitley interesting though

[hard forge]

the password has 3 transformations (leet/Roman)

[tacit ember]

kinda my thoughts as well

[mystic kestrel]

yes nothing happened

[sleek light]

the amount of matches i lose bc i mistake enemy fror friend

[lapis condor]

This was shot down but it’s not wrong, sometimes with normal pings your teammates pings absolutely do show as a bright red circular light highlighted on the level geometry like this

[timid solstice]

Yeah I thought so

[upbeat ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-twitch-twitch-toanyoneinlove-2ne1luv-gif-25679543

[hard forge]

are padlets up to date?

[calm wing]

Hi 😌 just joined

[chilly sundial]

👋

[coarse dagger]

The ones in the image are definitely not pings.
I personally haven't seen the circles you're describing on pings.

[lapis condor]

It’s not the big red UI tag that I’m referring to, there’s a big red circle light when you’re actually close to where a teammate pings already that shows up on the geometry of the level itself like that

[ruby tusk]

sorry to be clueless but i havent been in this channel. are there tangible+replicatable easter egg steps in game that have been found? or any definitive leads?

[knotty saffron]

there are some roses in the back area of the range

(practice area)

[fallen jasper]

I know someone posted it earlier but I also got that weird siren sound in the middle of a match. It's not the teamwipe sound, it's not recon senses being activated, no clue what it is.

[velvet narwhal]

I was able to see it.

[lilac scaffold]

I saw a little man who tickled my toes in seoul, his name was wonald. He said there is no spoon.

[quaint wing]

I've had this in a couple matches but always forget to clip it back. I've had a long one, the two back to back like you got in that clip, and I think there was another set I had heard. I don't know how it's triggered at all, but you're not crazy!

[covert patrol]

could this be to do with the website form the qr code

[shy glade]

has anyone investigated the dev credits? I noticed it has some weird spacing between some words in thhe scroll text (not talking about the long pauses between sentences, but in the sentences themselves!)

[crisp glen]

They are all over soul, I looked for a long time for a connection to the holto site but got nothing

[oblique surge]

the giant red moon is normal in the game? i never seen before

[quaint wing]

I remember we looked into the credits, but I'm pretty sure Rob said there was nothing there: #easter-eggs message

Here's the thread for it: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1182853502230331513

[unborn pilot]

Nothing in the ascii logo he said but not sure about the rest

[quaint wing]

Ahhh, misinterpreted that then.

[unborn pilot]

The dates were weird. Thursday didn’t match. The credits had 0FC, instead of O

I feel like there’s more lol

Multi Co Networks

Which has a site similar to Holtow

https://www.multiconetworks.com it’s still private but has to be it with the finals logo icon

A couple of other useful or useless things…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night's_Dawn_Trilogy

One Night, Three Dawns potentially

Book refers to bitek “eggs”, Saturn, Moon, and apparently has a misspelling “vold” instead of “void” (reminded me of viold)

And this one has LXXIX, 1064, Monaco

[hard current]

hey @unborn pilot when was the last time you updated the spreadsheet?

[unborn pilot]

A couple weeks ago. I got pretty much everything I needed on it. There hasn’t been any new official images

[hard current]

yeah and Rob hasn't really eyed anything new has he

[unborn pilot]

Not that I know of 😦 last few times he came in he said stuff but not eyeballs

[hard current]

man... worst of all is like

[unborn pilot]

It’s also super hard to scroll and look for them after he’s been active lol

[hard current]

I feel like we're still in the same exact place we started

use the search option!

[unborn pilot]

I tend to find new ones by accident usually

Can’t search for eyes though

[hard current]

ah yeah true

it'd be a huge undertaking to go back through and find all the eyes too

BUT rob usually only eyes things when he talks as well

hey @unborn pilot wanna give me edit access to the sheet.. I'll dig through all the eyed stuff

or at least any I can find

[unborn pilot]

Yeah man request it now and I’ll approve it
