unless the devs are giving us a hint since we’re so bad at figuring this out and we’re behind.
Lol, true
Rob did say it was easy
Said what, that we were being slow?
There are no more in game clues fdor this tier
in game clues don't apply to this tier
holtow has nothing to do with this tier
Okay, that is good to know
Yeah, Rob actually said that level 3 is already out there meaning that it is probably all in game becuase obviously we haven't been given any new art
in this case, the white one is upside down
and I just screened them together
I could also try multiplying them together
You are reading too deep probably
it’s definitely a 2
It looks like it a bit
Yeah, has 2 been true 5 times!
Could "open your eyes", mean the dot part of the i/? pull them apart, revealing the 2?
Scratch that, got my i and ? characters mixed 😄
fact
I did LSB half and browse bit planes on the new image but came up with nothing
2 and 3 have been way too repetitive
shiitttt
Lol, again worth a shot
we never know
2egglanguageastronomychemistry
just saying words at this point, we're looking for 5 constants and those are 5 constants.
that's all it takes
hankse6 react to one of my messages any one of them
Lol, easier said then done living up to its name
who is hankse6? is this a hint? are you rob in disguise?!
damn it
it's at the point where i'm having psychotic delusions thinking rob is hiding in here under an alias.
Lol, that would be awesome
3.14159
it doesnt 😔
?
pie
the number for
pie
Got it
Lol
Took me a minuite
Omg, thats the password! It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😠
Wrong way of doing it
Idk, it's way past my bedtime, I'll do more work on this tomorrow. It hurts so much knowing that it is so close according to rob
guys try not to clog this chat too much
bye hankse6
Ignore me @restive ridge
i died in the finals for that
Rob won't be able to read anything
I should have been in bed a while ago

gold, latin, roman numerals, egg
Nvm, I thought it was an hour later than it is
@outer scroll If you flipped and reflected your would get a 3 I think too so then you would have both common numbers
In Rob's message about the first truths, is it intentional that he used combind instead of combine?
Apperently there is a 10 minute scene that was made about Ophelia
Where is that painting coming from?
probably somewhere
in the very article you sent.
equation?
I've never seen Hamlet or know what any of this is, what do you mean the same flowers as before
like what is the order we have to put these in?
where did you just get hamlet from?
hamlet was a big part in something before.
In the 5 truths post he said Hamlet = Ophelia = 5 truths
So theres something in hamlet called the golden section
Ok, I see, so this doesn't fit in
how are hamlet and ophelia true for the past tiers
I was going to ask if we've tried all orders but then I realized how many that was
Lol, I'm so paranoid that I saw the " invetween your i and your n and I thought of it as a post from rob and thought that is must be an intentional clue!
I've not been here long enough to answer that, I just know they've been mentioned and relevant
They were mentioned
But I don't recall them being used for the previous tiers
I feell like this video that was made has to have something to do with it, it links exactly to what Rob said.
that has to do with the height and width of the pages, how it is nice to look at.
https://www.folger.edu/blogs/collation/measuring-hamlet-and-the-golden-section/
the two question marks? fuse them together we got 2?
I don't think it was a two
"Pages are shaped according to the golden section when the height is 1.61803 times taller than the width. In other words, if a page is 162 millimeters tall and 100 millimeters wide, then it almost perfectly reflects the golden section, a shape that is especially pleasing to the eye and soothing for the mind. "
but whatever floats your boat
One of the question marks is bigger than the other in the two pics
measure that distance.
nope
same size
to the pixel
Wait what
Yeah
Oh right sorry, I got confused
I meant the physical shape of the question marks
What do you mean
I guess so then
They are exact copies of each other
but thats because the white question mark fades into the background
not totally
pretty much but the white one looks different because it doesnt have sides
Oh I see what you mean
The gold one goes out further becuase you can see the side while the white one doesn't
actually
im going to subway ill be back soon killers
the white one is longer
I cant post pics, but the white one fits inside the gold one
idk if it is connected to the easter egg however saw that the haltow gun bundle in the store included a qr code sticker which takes you to the haltow website with a red blinking light probs in morse code
Yeah, I see what you mean
Ah your right, slightly too long by the looks of it
Yeah that is probably for level 3, it's too new for this tier
@outer scroll Enjoy!
im going to check the website again to see about the red morse code dot
what is it then
Its a 0.5 second delay swapping between two layers
the red dot and the qr code has nothing to do with this tier
oh
and its not morse code
This whole level came out before the game was even out, so there are new in game clues
Rob confirmed that the level 3 clues are already out there though, so that could very well be that
It is no use untill we solve this level though
well whats been found on this level so far since i have not been keeping track
same with the wierd text on the fountain
I know in this chat alone the phrase golden ratio has benn mentioned a bunch of times. In the same url I embeded above I found this little section
nothing pretty much
all we know is its about gold, latin, egg, roman numerals, hamlet
hmm
we have had all the info we need to crack this since december
listening to ophelia by “the band.”
reading too deep
So my thinking of the question mark sizes, the one question mark "fits" into the gold one. The gold being the left tiers, so it could mean the right tiers answers go inside the left?
That would however, only satisfy the "gold" and "egg" parts, perhaps some of the characters need to be swapped to roman numerals, not sure how hamlet would tie in.
yeah im not too sure about that one
no man it’s just a buster of a song
😎
Has anyone tried anything like adding up all the previous password character values and seeing what number it totals, converting it to roman numerals?
could be honestly, there have been so many different clues and things found for so many odds and ends its hard to keep track somtimes of what we need
How many eggs on average?
Characters add up to 365
Wait I forgot to add 1064
I mean you could be onto something, those fish do have a latin name
Well many developers hide easter eggs from their favourite games and if you look the aesthetic matches kinda like the portal the finals so my answers is the cake is a lie i will be dead wrong but it is what it is
Ok…
facebook link in inspect code on holtow page. http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml doesn't lead anywhere but facebook set its first international hq in dublin in 2008
likely just from squarespace template
why use a template for a black screen and flashing red dot would be my next question
because embark uses squarespace for all their websites afaik
reachthefinals.com likely also has that facebook link
Dude decode it it must be morse
It’s not
its a steady flash 60 bpm
Ooh
It’s two frames switching between each other every 0.5 seconds
Waut
Have we got an update on the number thing?
Can anyone turn the finals song into 60 bpm as the red dot it might be a sound code behind some sounds someone can create images (sorry i cant explain it througly but i have seen that in a lot of rngs)
Args i dont remember exactly my memory is rust
coping
hej
What
sorry it sounded goofy lol
Hamlet was a link to the "five truths"
Is there some kind of database or website I can view for a full run-down of everything up to this point?

Padlet has most of the information you'll need
Thanks

stuck on that 5 truths part fr
the password is "a walk in the park" 🗿
not working for me
unfortunate
does this website mean anything ? it's just a blinking red dot so i don't think it's morse ?
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1185727960980922488
A lot of info here
got milk? but got egg?
idk, just a weird thought bc he was talking about irl stuff and billboards
a walk in the park: deambulatio in parco
My head hurts but here is what i got. one common thing only 5 of the passwords have is roman numerals and/or latin.
T1B: lxxix (Roman Numerals used to solve)
T1E: cacoiii (Roman Numerals used to solve)
T1F: vit3llus (No Roman Numerals but Romans spoke Latin)
T2ABC: viold (Roman Numerals used to solve)
T2DEF: evivi (Roman Numerals used to solve)
Romans always seeked the truth, hince why they had so may technological advancements for their time. Always inventing, always learning
I just dont know how to add these together. Adding all the roman numerals plus the i and 3 in T1F got me 104 but it didnt work as the password.
I am unable to post pics in this chat, but I made a higher res outline of the shape on the whiteboard.~~ It kinda looks like Maine a little bit??~~
It resembles the shape of Abruzzo, a region in Eastern Italy full of catherdrals and roman sites
How so
yeah maybe im looking at it funny
Are there any other instances of question marks in the maps?
Apart from the hospital whiteboard
Nope. Just those two
Two?
Wheres the other?
is there somewhere i can see all info gathered so far in chronological order from beginning to end like a youtuber a wiki or something
Seems like Rob
Can you link that message?
So the red dot has a square shape inside it sometimes? Every other blink? Like in side by the edges of the circle? A little bit?
Basically Rob said some stuff about "Pictures of Matchstick Men" which led to a song by the Status Quo (latin) & also LS Lowery and then connected that was a matchstick man.
He developed a distinctive style of painting and is best known for his urban landscapes peopled with human figures, often referred to as "matchstick men".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._S._Lowry
#easter-eggs message and there's a thread about it with a bunch of stuff too
i think because the white ? fits inside the gold ?. The password has something to to do with putting "egg" in "gold" like this: goeggld. and since Latin is only need for 5 passwords (5 truths) we need to combine "goeggld" with roman numerals and/or making it latin "ovaureumum"
Anyone seen this film? Could be a relation
Maybe the outside of the egg is golden and the inside is white
also a couple weeks back someone pointed out the AK recoil is a question mark
Not that obvious question mark
yeah, not sure how that photo had it perfect.
Someone made it + not akm equipped
yeah i noticed that, and it's the holtow one
i'm more interested in the white board since that was added in very late.
the only solved clues from it relate to Tier 2 so the rest must be something
Where exactly is that whiteboard, I want to take a better pic
The shape with that question mark is driving me crazy, it looks so much like a state or a region. I can’t find anything that matches it
Perhaps it’s part of one of the maps from a top view down, the question mark showing the location of another hint
i have a ton of each thing up close, but there 6 of them in Skyway Stadium across the offices/hospital area
Idk just brainstorming
Have you posted them anywhere?
Anyone tried fetching it from the game files?
I think it was part of the building that could be destroyed Maybe one of them has something?
Oooh that sounds right
might be incorrect
If they’re found in the hospital, maybe it’s the hospital which needs to be destroyed??
The symbol above the ? in the white board is a triangle with an ! mark in it. This means An immediate skin, eye or respiratory tract irritant, or narcotic (https://ehs.princeton.edu/news/know-your-hazard-symbols-pictograms) the shape the ? mark is on is obvisouly a piece of broken wall . The symbol could be a hint at poison gas. Maybe we need to break a wall near where there could be a poisons hazard in the game on that map.
gas canisters are random spawns each game so not those. maybe its somthing bigger?
perhaps the answer to t3 will help us solve the in-game EE hunt…?
hence the question mark
looks exactly like the overlay we did where we flipped one question mark over the other
I mean the spray pattern isn't like the image
I believe datamining it is off limits.
Yeah thought so
The code on the side may mean something
This one
H5942617857-VRI
Hello guys! Good morning for me
Good morning
Almost 10 hours of sleep huh
So, I read all the chat from time I went sleep.
We got nothing new🥹
You can enjoy with my eye now.
Thank you so much for posting this, now I can sleep myself knowing I saw you’re eye, yet again, thanks
All for you, my friend
I unscramnled the bold letters in the patch notes and it spelled "Golden Edge"
Its pointing to the Golden question mark with the gold edge
OYE. Open your eyes. 👀
So what now...
Is this one "truth" or just key for smth other
Open your eyes - walk in the park
i lied im missing a "d"
Oh yea... This has some sense
Heh funni
Sense or sence...
Something else is also missing a D👀
Ima stop now
yeah it just says golden egg lol
has this already been found?
Yep
Okay, I'm waiting for bunnyhop and Impervious then.
i get that datamining the game is considered too far, but what about looking at the source code for the holtow website?
is there anywhere i can see all of the information so far?
You can, nothing there
well actually
the internal url for the holtow page is ||"https://carillon-orca-c6fx.squarespace.com",|| which i thought may be something
im blacking it out in case
It's not, I've posted that link before
fair enough
and nothing came of it?>
no
ah i found your post, ty
in the Holtow page, have anyone seen the weird form to align/center the 'dot gif' with a CSS Grid layout?
it doesn't align (idk, something?) with the 'dotted' QR? its rows and columns
imagine we all get stuck here for the next few months :3
This game has lore?
so something was eyed by rob not too long ago refering to the white swan
we just got a white swan outfit in the game
do we know if we have gotten everything to solve this tier?
(besides the password itself)
You are on to him now. Your safety is compromised.
we still don't have the fifth truth right? or do we?
Gold, space, egg, latin, white swan?
That's what we're trying to figure out 
@hard forge I wish I was Rob, then I would know what to do!
We all wish my friend. We all do.
wiki and padlets.
I think even if we find the fifth truth we probably won't get the password soon after
Holtow Sticker QR Code
The QR has an offset red dot in it
The writing says H5942617857-VRI
Scanning the QR leads to an Embark owned website:
http://www.holtow.com/
The website has a blinking red light (the page also has the urls /home2 and /cart)
The blinking light is a square gif and the page applies a circle mask
The gif is named 5.15.25. Using a number to alphabet substitution gives 'E O Y' and that can be rearranged to 'E Y O - Open Your Eyes' which rob 👀
The Hex color code for the red dot is ce2029 which is known as 'Fire Engine Red'
The gif has 2 layers (red and black) that play for 0.5 seconds each in a loop

@rancid rapids can we pin this please?
for some reason you can scroll down a bit idk why tho?
yea the sizing setup for the website is kinda weird
I cant upload pics but is there a way to zoom in on the paper that comes out of the gun? maybe there is something writen on it?
if you send a picture on another server, you can copy its link and resend it here
i did it here
send it to me, i could post it here for you 🙂
the name of the holtow ceo is Quemby Rutile i wonder if you get a special label printed if you kill a player with that name while using the holtow M11
do I press copy text?
Copy Link
copy link
@drowsy steppe here you go.
pretty sure you can use an inspection animation in game to get a close up
but I dont have it tho
found a thumbnail of it in HD http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jjl9e_EECXw/maxresdefault.jpg
oohhh you guys already looked? xd
yeah its all good 🙂
What does the amount insured relate to
20209.5
new people to think about the t3 password isnt bad.
Holtow's logo is Circle 🔴 inside a square ⬛.
On the website, the red square ⬜ is masked by back circle ⭕.
I might be wrong, but it seems like there is a connection.
ok Im gonna look for somthing else bc I LOVE finding easter eggs:)
meybe
maybe*
wanna try to learn about the recent stages to solve a password and maybe help to find it out? new thinking ideas isnt always bad. read urself into everything and try if you may see something others missed like me 😄
A very popular quote from hamlet or "To be or not to be, that is the question". There are common themes of question marks in this tier, perhaps it is referring to tier 2B?
Tier 2B being the question?
file names:
golden question mark (T2ABC): tfee_ques.jpg
white question mark (T2DEF): tfee_tion.jpg
k but im looking at the back of the guitar where the wood connects. im not sure if it is something special but i cant read it lol
Do you know this math question where you turn a circle in a square ?
Sorry it was just the first thing that came in my mind
Its interesting because the white question mark doesnt fit seemlessly within the gold
Not to burst anyones bubble, but I don't think we should be looking too deep into the Holtow thing. The Holtow cosmetics are brand new and this level is months old. Rob confirmed that level 3 clues are already out there, this very well could be part of that. Looking at it now doesn't help us until we can finish level two. We should focus our attention here on level two.
True good point
How do I post an image
you cannot. your not a high enough level to do it yet. But u may can send it me and i post it here for you
People keep saying this and nobody listens 😭
@gaunt agate I know becuase I keep saying it! Lol
Lol, we will get it eventually, we just need to stay focused
wich maps do we know has something?
If you up the exposure it becomes very clearly seperate from the rest of the gold
ok:)
It appears to be a 5% sign or a 57?
There is nothing in game needed to solve this tier
This whole tier came out before the game did I believe and the level certainly did
I see 5R
same
how can we post pics ? or gifs ?
u have it open in photoshop or similar?
can u maybe try 84% saturated and 81% bright?
That would be the saturated and brightness for the hex code of the holtow red dot. its fire engine red ce2029.
I know this might be a hoas because of the holtow.com but we may can try this just in case 🙂
You have rising star, so you can do it
Is there any way I can go in a map alone?
Holtow will NOT help for this tier
NOTHING in game
That we haven’t already found
Before holtow
no. And there is nothing to be found in the map for this password.
Hmm this is interesting, it removes everything but creates some artificating around the golden outline. I think its just because the image is low quality'
i said this might be a hoax. but we also may try. we are probably already in a too big rabbit hole already. we might overlook the easiest thing.
ok:)
i know holtow is not t3 😅
It’s not a hoax, rob confirmed we had everything we needed in December
the 7 could also have something to do with the '?' shape that the gun spray makes
Then go to the holtow thread, not here
i meant that holtow is hoax for t3
If I invert the colours something is written here for sure
Does anyone have the link to the mindmap with all the informations that were found ?
thanks
there you go
What is that a picture of
The golden question mark
so has anybody actually FOUND the easteregg?
no. or depends which one i guess
Hmm doesnt seem to have shown anything except the 57 thing I posted earlier
Although when I look at the luminence gradient it shows up, really fucking hard to make out though
It might just be artificating that looks kinda like writing
short question
are there any other contestants that have names ? I could only find the black balerina
Scotty (the commentator) was a contestant
we should be looking into it but as an aside to T3
nothing for t3 ingame.
But when it already would be clues for L3 then it might be. and also it could lead to clues we might have overlooked or smth
so far we only know about Scotty and Odilia
ok
you can always refer to the Wiki
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Characters
I was hoping to find a connection between the contestants and the message "dark knights"
I already looked but i could only find Odilia
Has anyone checked the media kit about the meatspace? Confirms that "Most people spend their time in the virtual world."
Not much to do right now I'd assume but I know it'd come up
yes, i've covered all of that on my videos and we have it on the Wiki
Bet I did a search but couldn't find anything mentioning the media kit
the Press Kit is the reference we used
back in like CB1 i think
seems like the reference was removed from the Wiki when we applied the new layout design, i'll make a note to add it again
I shot all of them
Nothing notable
That I saw
What effect are yall using to adjust the images lighting to find hidden clues in the pixels?
in in photshop rn with the 2 question marks
just wanted to note that "having everything we need" doesn't mean that we don't need to solve things we have. it means we have all the materials needed to find the password. There may still be multiple steps involved (i.e. figuring out the holtow site, then figuring out the next thing the holtow site leads us to).
golden?white?
leggo my eggold
if caesar cipher is what resulted in EOY - OYE, that isn't a shift of 1, is it? E > O would be 5 > 15 (shift of 10). O > Y is 15 > 25 (shift of 10), and Y > E is 25 > 5 (shift of 6). inconsistent there, so I'm not seeing how caesar shift is the way
goldegg shift 10: qyvnoqq
qyvnoxoqq
whats whit including leet and latin and then only shift the letters maybe?
vi01d3n3vivi
maybe?
ovumaureum > yfewkeboew
ly01t3d3lyly
doesnt work neither
aurumovum = kebewyfew
elementary shift of 10 maybe?
Can we have a role for the ones who want to get pinged if rob drops a pic or someone wants to notify something to the EE hunters?
How's that trolling @gaunt agate ?
5.15.25. E.O.Y. > not following how we ended up with OYE
"open your eyes"
OYE is a term rob has used many times in the ee hunt
we think it’s open your eyes
some have
but we didn’t do anything with it
imo the password will come from that list somehow
there’s no other reason for rob to include “seemingly random” numbers in words that didn’t need it
I feel like we've been talking in circles for weeks
we have
and the introduction of new hunters (which is amazing) means more time catching everyone up:) we’ll find a direction eventually!
we also didnt get any further with the 10mil :/
so many times during the day i'm saying to myself 'golden egg + latin +...'
Has the whiteboard hints been useful for any other levels?
vi0ld 6 + 0 + 50 + 500 = 556 which is a bullet/cartridge size. bullets/cartridges are somewhat gold in color and can have an egg shape at the tip
they may be for level 3 the ingame hints
yes in the tiers where g=6 was found, it was on the whiteboard as a guitar chord
whiteboards were in the closed beta and were used for t1abc so they could be
the only thing we've used so far is the G6 chord
The guitar chord was in red.
The other red shape from the whiteboard also got eyed.
It has Blue, Red and Black.
Maybe red is for Level 2
Then I suppose, they are colored as per their degree of relation.
Like primary, secondary etc.
maybe, but the pic i just sent and g6 chord are different colours but same clue lol
and we know this is used for this tier
So maybe there is something in black to support this clue.
guys, anyone knows anything about the new QR-code from the new bundle?
nvm :3
About "5 15 25" if you make "5 51 52" then according to the hex in Ascii table it will be "enquiryQR"
PTE > CNS > shifts of 13, 20, 14
- Substitution
- Latin Words
- Space
- Dates
- Periodic Table
combined ?
DEC 20, 2022 (T1D Ended)
"Ohh, and then there are there are 8 “golden clues” so far in total that leads directly to the final tier of Level 2 - The Promise."
lets try to list all possible truths
just every word after each other for the password ?
Thought id point out in this FINALS>NVIDIA collab tweet some wording is weird characters, etc
https://www.holtow.com/checkout seems to redirect to the cart, it's a funny detail

art
HISTORICAL FIGURES:
Rene Deacart
Mandeleve
Nicolaus Copernicus
Keplar
Galileo
I won't add all the names but yes lol
i think ART can convey music, film, paintings
latin and golden egg need to be included, they are confirmed
isnt there that golden agg art thing
with jewels and stuff on it
the thing from the oceans 13 movie or 12 i cant recall
only an idea and hasn't been eyed at all
lets stick to getting all the possible truths first, then narrowing them down
UNICODE :
Saturn = ∅
Leaning Tower of Pisa = /
. = dont know
? = dont know
so we need 3 more truths right ?
yes
yep
i mean it was said combined they make the password but well see that later on
so my thought process was just to combine some things and see what could result from that
thats how i came to think of this faberge egg
#easter-eggs message we need 5 truths out of this list, let's finish the list first
there are "white" fabergé eggs that is in art museums, might be something
lemme check
first entry in the wiki is a golden egg with a hen and white egg, named Hen and the owner is Viktor Vekselberg. it has both the gold part and white part
Description : Also known as the Jewelled Hen Egg, it was the first in a series of 54 jewelled eggs made for the Russian Imperial family under Fabergé's supervision. It was delivered to Alexander III in 1885. The Tsarina and the Tsar enjoyed the egg so much that Alexander III ordered a new egg from Fabergé for his wife every Easter thereafter
Maybe In addition to the red x: in Greek the X stands for the small letter „Chi“
Rob's said in the past he didn't want to use greek+latin as he knew it'd confuse us
/ROMAN
we've had some greek ideas before
Roman x? 10?
MATH
Anything else to add to this? try not to use one already mentioned keep it basic
what about substitution as one of the truths because we got ? pictures one is black and one is white (english isnt my first language, so i cant really be sure wether i used the word correctly :( )
subsitution is more likely than a lot of those yeah
but lets get all possibilites out there
anything to do with white gold? like the metal alloy, it combinds both clues
I would not consider some full on themes but more like “light clues”.
For example Shakespeare has only been mentioned the past month in Rob’s messages. Never in any actual images or clues leading up so far. While other stuff on that list appears everywhere all the time
there are alot of colored gold alloys btw, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_gold
can be included in historical figures
I agree, some ideas we can condense further i'm just trying to get as much out there as possible
math??
where has math been used?
I’ll go thought it after I get some coffee 🙂
like namatama and egg can be merged
whiteboards
equations, density, whiteboard
5 truths
g=6 , e=3 , o=0=null
g=6 true
e = 3 true
o=0=null true
g,e,o,0,null are 5 things
I mean its a WaLk In A PaRk
(the blind leading the blind i have no clue and need mental stress relieve)
o=zero=∅
we would have to put that symbol in the password? or just leave it blank
oviform clue, saying replace o with 0, but i think there were clues of it =null too, or nothing
so say if password is 'gold' it could mean 'gld'
If we used that logic then we’d have 100s. 3 was iii, 33, 63, Li, etc. 0 was 48, o, 79, etc
ok
I do agree with you that the truths revolve around them.
#easter-eggs message found this, the guitar skin inspect is played by Carl, the lead singer of Death by Rodent
#easter-eggs message . Don't need to use Au for gold/golden password attempts
Not sure if it’s referring to a specific park that has something to do with our final answer
he mentioned lighting a candle a couple times but idk
in the dark
I think I went down a couple park rabbit hoes. I even turned on my old Goldeneye 64 game on to see if there’s anything in Statue Park 🙂
I'm out of theme ideas now, so surely it has to include 5 of these
romance theme forgot about that ty lol
maybe though, any candles in the training area?
I don't know if there are candles there
any references to bench?
i dont recall any candle in the training area
I broke every possible thing in the training area once. nothing happened, but I like the fire line of thinking
yall seen the QR code on the new gun skin?
yeah. cool isn't it?
flashy dot
I'm on mobile, can't link the thread
there's a pinned message summary which is better
begone farmer 
S-Rob and S-Dusty, guide us to the correct path 🕯️🕯️
You need a numerology fan :)
i’ve got dyscalculia i’m useless here
Almost got a C in Discrete Mathematics. So I am useless too.
we just don’t know what form we need to follow
why would rob intentionally do the things he did with replacing letters
with numbers and roman numerals
hm? did i miss a rob hint today??
no
A lot of stuff doesn't get figured out till months later
we need our saint.
What was the Shakespeare stuff? I asked about this earlier since I was looking into it
sunshine trees wind leaves dogs people water flowers
"The" park
flying to ny to go to central park right now
So far it's only been a hamlet quote
so I'm not sure of it's relevance to the password
but the quote was only to help us figure we needed 5 truths
#easter-eggs message i've updated this a bit more
I take it I'm not the first to make the connection of the 2011 'Five Truths' Hamlet performance? or is that obvious, I'm not very familiar with Shakespeare
You're the first to figure it out, Rob gave us the hamlet clue but we were all too smooth brain to know about 5 truths haha
so he just told us what it meant
Do we know why the sticker says "quote" in the name? (The one with the qr code)
i sent a screenshot last night regarding five truths
5 truths is quite irrelevant atm
Rob was here?
no
(the hamlet aspect)
this was a while ago
since that was revealed by Rob already
Holtow is an insurance company, so maybe insurance quote
Oh ok, I found out about this earlier but wasn't sure if it was relevant
Five Truths was a multi-screen installation which brought together five interpretations of
Ophelia’s madness in Hamlet. Ten screens of varying sizes simultaneously played films of
Ophelia interpreted dramatically through the lens of Konstantin Stanislavski, Antonin Artaud,
Bertolt Brecht, Jerzy Grotowski and Peter Brook.
but it's old now right?
im still trying to figure out what would constitue a "truth" in our situation.
that's right, but the clue was just for 5 truths we need
oh, not US
Hello
okay i almost lost it.
Something which is used in all the passwords.
ohhh right I see now, thanks
hmmm ok
the number five
Eyyyy i ranked up!
the number one
v = 5 truths.
ii = 2 threads.
threads?
ideas
2 ideas/connecting pieces for all the tiers
ABC (gold) and DEF (egg), right?
gold and egg.
we believe it’s gold and egg yes
perhaps roman, not latin.
what if the truths are
space
latin
g=6/VI
e = 3
o = 0
#easter-eggs message this is the threads quote
“truths?!” when were we presented with a lie????
latin was eyed
gold egg space latin was eyed, but if we treat gold and egg as threads then would we pull it out of the truths?
yes
the patch notes being 'golden egg' seems like a big hint to me
if gold and egg was threads, where would latin fit in?
Im just gonna mention that if you use the "inspect" feature on the ol' red dot website there are some website urls at the top. They don't go anywhere, just a 404 page, but maybe important?
we’re solving a puzzle from last year.
or latin would be a truth for the next password
and meatspace!!
to me, the only indication of a passphrase we have, is 'golden egg'
we don’t have any suit to follow.
What do you mean order 💀
there’s no “this first, then this, then this.” no order.
There doesn’t have to be
we can't apply truths or ciphers without the passphrase first
one of the truths
what do you mean there doesn’t have to be
then just type latingoldeneggastronomychemistry into the password prompt and see if it works
combine something that is
in space
has a latin name?
and convert geo ciphers to numbers
just an idea
you came back to this
Pluto (already in Latin form)
- in space
- plutonium element
@outer scroll was right, that damn demon core!
i kneu idd
I don't think we can think of anything more to add to the list
so now it's deciding what could be a theme or clue
suffering
these had eyes, gonna repost again
the hills have eyes.
did someone here already try going through the old passwords looking at what they have in common and combine that
Is the image on the right official?
yes
every time I read this - i can't stop laughing.
but rob 👀 it
why’s it funny to you?
Here is my Truths list i came up with.
- Astromony/Space
- Roman Numerals
- Periodic Table
- Latin Translations
- LeetSpeak
just the way it sounds.
way too silly.
like gub snub.
whos got siphilis ?
yeah it’s a gunky name
my condolences
the theme is life
Pluto was reclassified in 2006 from a planet to a dwarf planet
yeah the worst day of my life.
and now were to combine that so lets say
For Example a person:
Person who has something to do with astronomy space
Person who lived when roman numerals and the periodic table was a think
Person who was latin i guess
idk what leetspeak is
none of these things would exist without life.
F33l L1K3 DY1N6
ever tried spelling on a calculator?
What came first the egg or the hen ?
the cosmic egg from the golden womb.
L1F3
ew dude
EGG then life
366L1F3
i read it on Wikipedia.
ew
egglife
I still believe that the three on the far right are for egg where we got geo = numbers
no dear
no worries honey
i’m laying in a ball on the floor if i’m quite honest
rather cold… i need to be incubated.
interesting idea o,e ,g order
like a mother hen sits on her eggs
"space" for 1?
hm?
Heres my reason why thats my list.
- Astromony was only used in T1A
- Roman Numerals was the only thing used to solve T1B, T2ABC, T2DEF.
- Periodic Table was used to solve T1C and T1E(also roman #).
- Latin translation was used to solve T1D.
- Leetspeak was used to solve T1F(as well as latin translation)
Those are the only 5 themes that occur through this whole level. All the other clues used can be put into those catagories.
so we have speech and physics / math as categories
in general
so 2 like the iamge
image
So the answer is Rob!?
Rob is sitting on the password.
ofc how could we not see that coming
so we’re missing two transformations from gold, just an idea hehe
Password is probably a bit longer than that. Something lengthy like: Did you ever hear the tragedy of darth plaigus the wise ?
ha
chemically gold does what?
same reasoning. but I cramped roman and leet into substitution.
from the whiteboard, we have a 3 set of clue and 2 set of clue. if the 3 is g,e and o, we need 2 transformations for gold
Tiers 1D and 1C on https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 are the only tiers to have a light gray background behind their icon, if that means anything to anyone.
that’s my current thought yes
it is like Nobel Metal.
i’m at work rn tho so;)
i made leetspeak seprate because it only comes up once
technically g=6 and the others are part of leet speak
Is there a word for egg where you can use all 3?
also e=3 o=0
Ah yea thats right. but the end product of that code was g=6 then 6=vi. The answer was roman
it could go either way
g = 6 is also leet
its just splitting hairs at that point
Astronomica was written in Latin, in the Roman empire, about space. In leet speak, it is "457r0N0M1C4."
Maybe this is helpful? Idk?
that's brilliant.
most probably from T1A and T1B
"Gold usually crystallizes to its lowest free energy structure called face-centered cubic (fcc). The phase transformation from the stable fcc phase to the metastable 4H phase is thus of great significance in crystal phase engineering."
btw just checking do u know abt the qr code on holtow fdine print gun taking you to a website
yes
no
electron config, melting point Celsius and atomic number
k
why would you write celsius after the melting point.
in case it meant something/ caused confusion
also, 1064 is 1337 in F, which is leet for leet lol
in F?
Is there a property of gold that wasnt used in the ee yet?
weight, structure.
hardness
on the periodic table weight and structure are mentioned
😦
really?
yes!
business link?
We've had structure from Md
T1C
isn't it the same?
i ment crystal structure
ahh
electron config for gold + one for calcium carbonate?
Is there a compound that can be made with gold and calcium carbonate. That would be combining gold and egg
If we got the cipher from egg, maybe we need passphrase from gold
I’ve thought about it but couldn’t think of anything
Calcium carbonate-gold nanocluster https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22422592/
"Calcium carbonate is a solid at room temperate, so putting gold “in” it presents a bit of a challenge. If you put a piece of gold on top of a piece of limestone (or vice versa), both will happily sit there without any sort of detectible reaction.Even at high temperature, I doubt there would be any reaction before the calcium carbonate decomposed."
OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT
i read that last week.
golden calcite
imagine rob makes a news article with all the hints in it under an alias just to secretly help us light a candle on this
https://www.holtow.com So, Wonder how many years in the lore of this game Holtow's website hasnt been working?
If Mendelevium is named after Mendeleev, how did gold get it's name
Gold gets its English name from the Germanic word gulþa (meaning gold). The Old English word geolu means yellow. In Latin, gold was called aurum. This is why the chemical symbol for gold is Au.
geolu... there we have geo again
geolu is interesting
geography.
wait.
what the hell
I click on the dot on holtow and yesterday it turned purple and pink now it just went blue and purple and it just changed before my eyes to pink and dark grey?
Clicking on it and tabbing out changes the color
Yesterday tabbing out made it pink and gray
should I grab the color codes?
I dunno I’m gonna stick to the “we’re trapped in the fuckin simulation and the worlds dying outside” angle and say we’re looking at holtows error code, maybe even just a computer’s screen of death.
I got nothin to prove it but I’m sticking to hunches for now.
geolu is way too weird that it has geo again
Holtow is known to not be needed for T3
maybe look at old english
Maybe for a diamond clue tho
Egg - From Middle English eyren, alteration of earlier eyre (“eggs”), from Old English ǣġru (“eggs”), plural of ǣġ (“egg”), equivalent to ey + -ren. Compare Dutch eieren (“eggs”), German Eier (“eggs”).
Doesn't mean anything lol
Small reminder:
Look through the Wiki and #egg-hunt-onboarding many things y’all are talking about have already been used once in previous tiers.
Currently we are looking for some sort of 5 truths for altering the word goldenegg. This is to my knowledge the current standings and there
Also we already know everything to solve this Tier since December, we just have to combine it.
We've been told not to look at in game EE's until we finish this level
@green lake
I do not know what that means.
ohh sorry. carryon
goldenegg to numbers a is 1 b is 2 and so on
g = 7
0 = 15
l = 11
d = 4
e = 5
What's going on guys

Good hunting! 🥚
I'm already free!
Oh, interesting
Gold- English
Aurum (Au) - latin
geolu - old english
geolu feels like something
i need that dopamine hit
we are almost there.
dino egg
Dinero - money, and gold is like money in past
"Yolk" also originates from geolu
Okay, forget about it
Old English geolca, geoloca "yolk," literally "the yellow part," from geolu "yellow"
we got -
ego79
geolu
also interesting
Btw, once I mentioned eggs contain vitamins A, B1 ,D and E.
It was not eyed tho.
I haven't checked in a while, any important discorveries or further ideas today?
I said it last night but this seemed interesting with Hamlet, Ophelia, and the 5 truths. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/theatreblog/2011/jul/21/five-truths-katie-mitchell-v-a
came across the old germanic word "geolu".
five truths... ._.
I was looking at this earlier but I hear from Wig that the connection to 'five truths' was already wrapped up by Rob
Oh, I didn't hear that. @gloomy anvil Those 5 thruths that I just saw are only relatable to tier one though and was posted before the 5 truths posts I think. He talked about the entire level
open your eyes
no
yah
Lol, I am getting mixed messages
its been debated
This is what Rob said about these 5 truths
personally I only believe latin is one of the five truths
that was back in T1 F FYI
No papga
?
that was tier 1 F
Those were things that were true for that one only
@hasty anvil
