Everyone has it, just go into the games credits 🙂

I've never noticed the lines at the top

and i don't think anyone else has either

Souds like he says "Safe Place" or "Safe Way" at the end

BRAILLE GOOD ONE

restive ridge

Could be in any orientation

outer scroll

looks like braille is in sixes and follows a very particular form, the furthest left ones seem pulled too far away to be anything comprehensible.

its G6 guitar chord, solved

i hear it in my head mm so warm

the whole puzzle is guitar tabs for a song.

the credits run 12.5 minutes

hasty anvil

All credit (pun intended) goes to Embark Studios for these credits.
I am simply uploading them here so EE hunters can analyze them outside of the game.
The credits were made by Rob and Gustav!

where's everyone at with the holtow page? Am a webdev so maybe I can help?

Got red dot, blue dot then pink dot but not much further

Thats it

Ppl have speculated it might mean its "recording" but not much other than that

I've got a theory that perhaps a particular frame in the credits, the stars literally align and say something or form a familiar shape.

I'm kind of new here, is there any good place that I should start investigating at.

I FOUND SOMETHING FUCKING SERIOUS.

worldly cairn
#

Cool, what did you find?

outer scroll
#

on the credits screen, if you type "embark" you hear an enable sound effect, if you type it again, a disable sound effect.

worldly cairn
#

Interesting, lol

outer scroll
#

like a coin cashing sound

#

oh no, it's if you press K

worldly cairn
#

Oh voice chat

#

@outer scroll I will check out the double exposure later and see if that reveals anything

outer scroll

W is 3

G is 6 yeah

What if this is wrong rabbit hole again?

this is definitely for something different.

What primary clues do we have for now?

outer scroll

for me before it said 5 16x16

worldly cairn

@gloomy anvil Could be, or could be intentionally put there

hard current
green lake
#

Oh, then it can be easy

jade cloud
#

idk but S is like 5

outer scroll
#

S = 2 G = 3, 5 is most likely Z

#

or maybe I'm going crazy.

timid solstice
#

what do you mean?

worldly cairn
#

The R looks strange too. The left leg doesn't go all the way up to the top, instead the slit in the middle cuts it off

outer scroll
worldly cairn
#

Same with A too

outer scroll
#

I think that's intentional font

#

the obvious numbers are something to note for sure.

hard current
#

you guys are doing good things BUT we’re going to deep again;)

outer scroll
#

precisely

hard current
#

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of this conversation may be relevant to the NEXT level

#

but not the current tier

outer scroll
#

i know it's not this level 100% because wasn't T3 meant to be a cakewalk?

worldly cairn
#

Good point, next level will probably be more in game with it releasing after the game launch

does anyone have the desire to transcribe all the text from the video to the chat ?))))

Could it be that there's a spectogram in the credits music?

hard current

if we jump the gun and keep doing investigations (which IS good) we’ll clog this channel up with things not relevant to the current tier

Did you guys tried to shoot all the cannons on the Monaco map???

viral timber

if my google searches were correct then embark is situated in an old bank building right near a park

there’s a lot of you that are new, which is awesome, and if we focus all that new brain power on this tier before jumping into the in game stuff it may better serve our movement forward:)

Курочка Ряба - русская сказка.
Жили-были дед да баба.

Была у них курочка ряба.

Снесла курочка яичко, не простое — золотое.

Дед бил, бил — не разбил.

Баба била, била — не разбила.

Мышка бежала, хвостиком задела, яичко упало и разбилось.

Дед плачет, баба плачет, а курочка кудахчет:

— Не плачь, дед, не плачь, баба: снесу вам яичко не золотое — простое!

Chicken Ryaba - Russian fairy tale.
Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a woman.

They had Ryaba chicken.

The hen laid an egg, not an ordinary one - a golden one.

Grandfather beat and beat, but did not break.

The woman beat and beat, but did not break.

The mouse was running, its tail touched it, the egg fell and broke.

The grandfather is crying, the woman is crying, and the chicken is clucking:

  • Don’t cry, grandfather, don’t cry, woman: I will lay you an egg, not a golden one - a simple one!

That's better

Golden egg story

I think that's far more the path we need to be focusing on, not the credits

This is 0.0001% can be connected with clues XD

allow me to reiterate that we have everything we need, acording to rob we just need to combine "5 truths" into the final password of t2

I was playing Hunter call of wild recently... Wholesome game

Can we use this information idk

Btw interesting part is in Latin alphabet we don't have J,W,U letters

And if someone solving number with English alphabet but not with Latin it can cause problems

timid solstice

This is key to solving T3

what links every password on this level...? what are two common threads that are consistent throughout every single tier on this level...?

there are five things that have been true trough this entire level... combind them and you have the password...

especially as one question mark is golden and one is matte white

@outer scroll Yeah, I can confirm that combined, double exposure, these image seem as clean and unaltered as ever. There is literally nothing out of the ordinary.

So my only thoughts, which keep getting influenced by the holtow QR/site, is the in-game maps have had clues that help point towards information we already had prior? (whiteboards?) Holtow is sponsor of Vegas, is there like any question marks on any of the gambling machines or something?

This whole level launched before the game so in-game clues are not probable

holtow seems far too new to be for this puzzle.
