easter-eggs

[daring bluff]

that's still part of, and high up in the entire level, though, so it definitely could be close

[gaunt agate]

I believe some of the five truths for this tier are egg, gold, latin

[green lake]

Very highlighted things are gold and egg now!

[gaunt agate]

yes

[green lake]

I'd say like gold (yolk) and egg (glair)

[gaunt agate]

@worldly cairn get on the finals

and respond to my texts

[hard forge]

what we came up with today #easter-eggs message

[daring bluff]

Yellow (color?)
Yolk (egg)
Mirrored/Flipped (type of clue)
Latin (latin)
Three (3)

[gaunt agate]

those were true for 1F, sure, but what about all of them? Do they all apply to all of them?

I believe latin and egg are

[green lake]

I guess all of them

[gaunt agate]

but the other ones i believe were for 1f

[hasty anvil]

These were combined for T1F

[green lake]

Like they said on 2d level start we can find all the passwords from 1st picture

[daring bluff]

yeah that's what I'm saying, latin, gold egg seem confirmed

[gaunt agate]

Yes

[green lake]

So here's clues that can make us find password for this one

[gaunt agate]

Those seem like 3/5 of the truths

[daring bluff]

and the other ones could include a number, or a type of clue

[green lake]

Latin gold egg

[hasty anvil]

We never found the 5 clues for future maps, or 2 diamond clue afaik

or maybe it was the vegas hints

[daring bluff]

we found 1 or 2 of the future map clues

[hasty anvil]

should be on padlet lol

[daring bluff]

yeah it was vegas hints

[acoustic swift]

Scan the insurance quote QR code in the store it brings you to a wired site with mores code

[green lake]

But wait, what is latin? Is this latin alphabet or latin like race?

Starnge question but ...

[green lake]

NOWAY

[gaunt agate]

latin is a language

[daring bluff]

latin... as in the language of the ancient romans

or even before

not well versed on the history

[gaunt agate]

The latin language was true for the other tiers

[green lake]

Okay then.

[acoustic swift]

Yea i did it earlier

[hard forge]

I JUST CHECKED. YES IT DID!!

[gaunt agate]

Did you even look at the previous tiers?

[velvet narwhal]

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

[gaunt agate]

Don't try to figure out truths if you haven't even researched the previous tiers

[green lake]

AHxahahhxaha... Alright. We're all were that silly when we came here for the first time!

[hard forge]

true.

[gaunt agate]

Not morse code, and everybody here already knows that but thanks for the thought.

[hard forge]

join us now. Or you will be left far behind.

[green lake]

AHAHAH WHAT

0vif0rm from this..

[green lake]

[hard forge]

No. It was egg shape, oval silly.

[green lake]

[restive ridge]

Woah! it seems like we are getting somewhere. What did i miss

[green lake]

GTA 6 release date is 2025

[pure loom]

golden egg yolk is the same too

[green lake]

BETTER LOOK AT THIS

I guess it has some sense

[marsh dagger]

LETS GOO

[fallow plover]

Likely either Google translate being not good or just how Latin adjectives would work

[hard forge]

[green lake]

Cook a calf to medium rare with gold-glace meat

Idk

[pure loom]

yeah, I think Google is the problem

[fallow plover]

Not surprised

Google translate really sucks lol

[green lake]

vitellus

I guess smth with this word

[hard forge]

Did you mean ultra rare? Don't be a mooncalf.

[pure loom]

interesting that yolk and moolah could be the same thing...

[pure loom]

👆

[fallow plover]

💵 ❓

[pure loom]

"Apis" mentioned in here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_calf

[green lake]

Interesting

[hard current]

hey, don’t be a holes to people coming with holtow stuff, welcome them please

[marsh dagger]

check deepl for translation maybe that works better than google

[hard forge]

• Gold
• Egg
• Substitution
• Latin
• Number

[green lake]

Yeah
Like I said #easter-eggs message

[green lake]

I meant to reply to this

[hard forge]

i am sorry.

[gloomy anvil]

I feel like it should be easier to identify five things that have been true throughout level 2

[restive ridge]

Anyone check the new post from Embark for clues? #game-announcements message

[green lake]

Wait I'll do it now

[hard forge]

the announcement on X had some weird things on it.

[unique spruce]

there are 5 VIs in the passwords for this level. viold, evivi, vitellus, oviform

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[green lake]

I guess there's nothing

[restive ridge]

idk if Nvida is playing along with the ee

[acoustic canyon]

nVIdia

[green lake]

AHAH HA AHAHHA

1000%

This is obVIous.

VI might be 6

[marsh dagger]

so the passwords vivivi ?

lapis is latin for precious stone

[marsh dagger]

okay so now we have golden, egg and vi

[unique spruce]

the center stage at las vegas has lapis in the name

[hard forge]

hear me out.

#easter-eggs message

notice that ffffff ?

[marsh dagger]

im listenin

isnt that a 4

[hard forge]

i am tripping

[pastel valve]

looks like 44c144

[unique spruce]

i see 💗44444💗

[mild bolt]

that's 4 vi's

[unique spruce]

• oviform, 5

[hasty anvil]

white gold again haha

[mild bolt]

okay my bad

[restive ridge]

i donr see any fs though

[unique spruce]

4 is A though, not F

[hard forge]

sorry it's not f. my 🧠 imagined it.

😭

[unique spruce]

The symbolic meaning of 44444 always means to trust your intuition about yourself and other people.

an omen of divine providence that encourages everyone to take positive action and maintain a hopeful outlook in order to reach their goals

[mild bolt]

I was thinking, is the white swan outfit related to this or later ee?

because I had a weird idea of the black and white to stand for yin yang, but that's probably too on the nose

[hard forge]

you found the swan faberge egg?

[mild bolt]

huh? the faberge egg?

[unique spruce]

i was looking into a relationship between gold and egg and yin and yang at some point

it was a rabbit hole i chose not to share cause i didnt get anywhere with it

forgot what even made me look that way

[mild bolt]

yin yang does symbolize duality and harmony

[unique spruce]

we've also gone down the path of white gold several times, no eyes

i also thought i was onto something relating to marble because black and gold marble is a thing and it is highly composed of calcium carbonate

Marble is made up of more than 90% calcite (calcium carbonate). The remaining percentage of "impurities" give marbles many different varieties of colors and characteristics.

[mild bolt]

CaCO³?

also isn't calcite chalk in everyday wording?

[unique spruce]

calcium carbonate is caco3 yes, thats where the password cacoiii came from. its in eggshells

for those that havent caught on with the link: from bottom to top: an oval shape, calcium carbonate (eggshell), yolk (vitellus) make an egg (evivi)

[mild bolt]

sorry, have to warm up my chemistry knowledge for my internship next week

[mild bolt]

and we got the hint "there were 5 truths throughout that"

[hard forge]

all the best.

[unique spruce]

likewise for gold. 1064C melting point, atomic number 79, periodic table (5f137s2 is the electron configuration for mendelevium, whose discoverer created the first periodic table) together make gold

[mild bolt]

the periodic table is very important too, who invented it actually

[hard forge]

Mendeleve was the first one to come up with something like the modern periodic table.

[mild bolt]

vium

[hard forge]

He predicted some of the elements before they were discovered too

[mild bolt]

there's the vi again

oof my bad

thought I found a connection

[unique spruce]

mendeleev is the proper spelling for his name

[mild bolt]

my brain just has to turn into one of a conspiracy theorist

then I'd know how to connect points

[unique spruce]

m3nd3l33v

miiindiiiliiiiiiv

[hard forge]

calcium and gold and mendelevium are all metals.

[crisp glen]

"five things that have been true trough this entire level" lets try to emphasize entire level, anything that wasnt used in all parts of the teir are a no go

[unique spruce]

metal > metallicum

[green lake]

Level 2 - the promise

[mild bolt]

the promise has truths... hmm sounds like a prophecy

[green lake]

I promise I will be a good golden egg this ear!

Year*

[velvet narwhal]

What is the promise?

[mild bolt]

I am wondering if we've gone further from the answer or if we have gotten closer

[sharp flame]

ready to hop onto the password train again

[unique spruce]

we havent had any eye reactions in a bit

[crisp glen]

I feel like further, def overthinking it

[unique spruce]

so probably further

[hard forge]

geocache is a EE style game. On their website whenever they start a new geocache , they say "commence/ing"

[hard forge]

a new map?

[unique spruce]

i really feel the black and gold question mark and the all white question mark have a meaning that should alone give us the answer

black and gold ques, all white tion

half the answer is gold half is egg

[mild bolt]

what if we reverse the gold and white? very random thought

like the order

[hard forge]

My theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldegg leads to rustic (history section last word) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustic_furniture has references to stick (matchstick man? walk in the park, also in training arena) and name derived from latin word .

it's a bench

[mild bolt]

the thing about no eyes is, either rob isn't lurking, or we're just wrong

[unique spruce]

to be or not to be, that is the ques tion

[mild bolt]

wait... that bench in the training arena has a rose

would that possibly be connected

[crisp glen]

#easter-eggs message this msg is super sus to me

[unique spruce]

o has not consistently been 0 and e has not consistently been 3

proof: viold and evivi

cacoiii

g=6 has been true all throughout

and 5 times

[mild bolt]

and 6=vi?

[unique spruce]

right

[mild bolt]

doesn't that mean g=vi?

[unique spruce]

yes

which is why evivi was the password, for egg

egg > e66 > evivi

gold > 6old > viold

[hard forge]

violdenevivi

[unique spruce]

so im against ruling o=0 and e=0 as truths

because theyre not. viold, evivi, and cacoiii all maintained their os and es

[crisp glen]

how do you know we just didnt find any clues hinting at that in levels

[unique spruce]

not sure i follow

[crisp glen]

even rob uses 0 = O in that msg

[fallow plover]

also 0vif0rm

[daring bluff]

substitution in general might be the truth, did every password have some form of substitution?

[crisp glen]

there could have been 0=O throughout the entire thing we just didnt find certain clues at certain points

[unique spruce]

in oviform we did swap o for 0, 0vif0rm, and for vitellus we swapped e=3 for vit3llus, but then later for cacoiii, viold, and evivi, we didnt

[hard forge]

yes

[daring bluff]

well then there you have it

[unique spruce]

well. 5f137s2 didnt technically have any substitution

[fallow plover]

still was true before though

[hard forge]

I am more inclined to this

#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

so we have a lot of ideas, we gotta apply them now;)

[crisp glen]

lets say substitution is one, then what are we substituting and where

I think thats one of that harder parts

[hard forge]

as this applies to

this #easter-eggs message

[unique spruce]

if we presume the answer is goldegg or goldenegg, we have to combine all the substitutions weve had

[mild bolt]

wait, the post from their x, they substituted lowercase L for |

go|denegg?

[unique spruce]

which ive tried. vi0ldiiiniiivivi

[crisp glen]

which has been tried I believe

[mild bolt]

what about substituting the l for |

[unique spruce]

i believe special characters are confirmed to not be in the passwords, lemme find that

[mild bolt]

ah my bad

[hard forge]

not for this level tho, but for other ASCII is there.

[mild bolt]

I keep thinking I see a minor detail, nope just being a dum dum

[small vigil]

just to ask why do we think it is goldegg or goldenegg? I am new to this

[west condor]

didn't he say ASCII characters, i do seem to remember that

[hard forge]

you are being helpful.

[pastel valve]

The types of passwords have been alternating:
Gold: 1064 (number), lxxix (Roman num) 5f137s2 (numbers) viold (roman num)
Egg: 0vif0rm (numbers), cacoii (roman num), vit3llus (number) evivi (roman num)

Could this be anything?

[hasty anvil]

goldenegg were bold letters in the patch notes once

[west condor]

| is an ascii character

[hard forge]

he said no ASCII for this lvl

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message

all lowercase and no spaces

[hard forge]

so going by this logic

[green lake]

What have they added

[hard forge]

no romam on t3?

[gaunt agate]

Look 🤯

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message

[green lake]

I can't find bruh

[unique spruce]

60ld3n366

[pastel valve]

If the code has two parts could the first one have numbers and the second part have roman num

[mild bolt]

that's a smart idea tbh

[hard current]

this is nothing that will help us, they’re just documenting things

[crisp glen]

no way that means this level too, Ill be very suspired if this is solvable with only the questionmark pictures

[mild bolt]

every level

so I guess it is

[mild bolt]

by showing what not to do?

[hard forge]

Also till T1D there were 8 clues for T3

[fallen jasper]

Did someone mean to ping me

[green lake]

i am not good enough for this EE.

[unique spruce]

Has anyone searched the park on Monaco in reference to the walk in the park comment from rob? The nice park with the fountain and pergola

[wicked pier]

do not let your fears get in front of you, don't exclude yourself just because you don't feel worthy or good enough

[unique spruce]

Really annoying we can't make a private free roam session on the maps. Hate screwing over teammates when i join into a game and explore

[fallen jasper]

I was never good at this EE hunt and I got CM. You can become a good hunter

[green lake]

So... If we will be good enough it means we can be a game developers like Embark????

[hard forge]

maybe you are valuable as a CM.

[unique spruce]

Out of curiosity, do you yourself know the answers through the hunt?

[fallen jasper]

I just wait for people to ping me and then I send people straight to the shadow realm

[green lake]

Why

[small vigil]

@fallen jasper can I see the shadow realm 🙂

[fallen jasper]

No. The only person that does is Rob. Dusty sometimes help with clues but doesn't know the answers either.

[fallen jasper]

I don't send the people pinging me to the shadow realm

[unique spruce]

That's honestly cool i like that vibe. Do you all follow along and laugh at the crazy rabbit holes we make and jump through?

[hard forge]

i was sweating bullets.

[green lake]

I'm confused

I'm taking things from minecraft bedrock store now

This is day 18 already... I forgot about it bruh

[mild bolt]

Do we know what the five truths were in order again?

[unique spruce]

Not for certain, no

[hard forge]

no

[mild bolt]

damn

[unique spruce]

We just have a bunch of possibilities because much more than 5 things are "true"

[hard forge]

Rob said clues might be in meatspace

[unique spruce]

Like... Was the first password 1064? Yes.. thats true..

[hard forge]

So on X too?

[green lake]

Gold is outside

But eggshell is inside

[unique spruce]

Two typos in that message, trough and combind

[green lake]

#easter-eggs message Level 2 running themes
#easter-eggs message e, g , o maybe the 3 egg clues
#easter-eggs message gold origin name GEOLU from old english, aurum in latin

i think this mostly what we've thought about today

[pulsar mason]

So how do we know the five truths relate to common themes or elements between the tiers, could it not be something else? There are too many themes to consider.

[hasty anvil]

5 truths come from those themes

we need narrow it down

and t1a t1b t1c we haven't figured out any themes in these yet, apart from gold and chemistry

[pastel valve]

This is what I have been thinking about.
#easter-eggs message (Name Pattern)
#easter-eggs message (3 things = 1)

[worldly cairn]

@green lake @daring bluff That is what I am saying, we really haven't agreed on the 5 truths.

[worldly cairn]

That definetly could play into it

[hasty anvil]

where did head come from?

the pattern is interesting

[acoustic canyon]

#easter-eggs message

there

[hasty anvil]

so next password might have numbers

[worldly cairn]

Right

[pastel valve]

I also thought “If the code has two parts could the first one have numbers and the second part have roman num”

[worldly cairn]

That is a good thought. That would add to the theme of combining the stuff together

[pulsar mason]

Worth noting that if we go back to the golden egg, the origin of the story was 87 in Aesops fables. Perhaps the 87 relates to something?

[plush pumice]

Idk how yall see where everyone is at with this egg hunt

[pastel valve]

I really don’t know whats going on tbh

I’m just looking for patterns and stuff.

[acoustic canyon]

theres a few padlets to look through but ive just been watching for about a week or 2 and have just been picking things up for now

[hasty anvil]

the quickest easiest way is look through the EE wiki page

then dive deeper on the padlets if you're interested

[plush pumice]

where are the padlets

rockhounds videos are also very good for getting into it all

I love the lore already, because basically everything about the game is lore even the betas

87 is Francium in the periodic table of elements

Going off of this. If gold egg is 87 and gold is 79, we would get 8 for egg.

in the patch notes i think we were given the password

we just need to keep testing keys of how to type it

we were given the password before in the HNY image, oviform on the confetti

[hasty anvil]

oh i didnt know we were given the password flat out before

[pastel valve]

each word alternated (# -> Rn)
Clue order had been (# -> Rn -> # -> # - Rn -> # -> Rn/Rn )

# =substituted with numbers
Rn = substituted with Roman numerals

yup

RN? registered nurse?

goose that laid the golden eggs: The theme of a duck, goose or hen laying a golden egg, but not the traditional plot line, was taken up in films in both the United States and Russia. In Golden Yeggs (Warner Bros, 1950) it was given cartoon treatment

Rob's called back to o=0 for this tier and given us a few 'set of 3' clues, but no g6 hints, i'm starting to think maybe g=6 isn't used

and without g6, passphrases like ovum aureum would work

[unique spruce]

how isnt it used though, we used it for viold

and evivi

[hasty anvil]

i'm saying for this tier it might not be used

purely from during this tier Rob has only referenced the 0=o cipher

[unique spruce]

g > 6 > vi has been the most frequent thing present throughout the level, 5 times

yea i get you

[hasty anvil]

it's only been used t1abc and t1def

[unique spruce]

oh true, i forget oviform was actually oviform not ogiform lol

[hasty anvil]

Or maybe, the url 't3-f' means the t3 password is without using T1F logic, or minus F

cause Tier 3 doesn't have letters like the other tiers do either

[unborn pilot]

Worth mentioning for new folks, but Level 1 completed had a "deviled egg" and towards the end of the recent tiers we had a couple "crosses" clues with came out to 666. also, in the new black/gold ? image, the black is rgb value (6,6,6)

[unique spruce]

https://stpetersburgcollection.com/theo-faberge-creations/egg-creations/devils-egg

[unborn pilot]

viold & evivi have a 6 & 66 so far. it might end there, or it might have something to do with the final answer

[unique spruce]

devil, gold, egg, ruby, 1986

[hard forge]

was this solved?

[unborn pilot]

no eyeballs i know of, but general consenus was it's 3 types of crosses, and there's 6 of each kind so 666

this clue is one of the few that appeared in two different images exactly the same. one was harder to read than the other, but both same.

FIND PSW: XXXX-XX-XX
from: 2/23 - T1 D - Ospuze AD Bonus #official-art message

also this one's been a stumper, never used in any password situation thus far, but was rather easy to find, just very very tiny

i think for 3-4 weeks straight i was trying different dates that could be GOLD & EGG to fit a date format.

[hard forge]

can I get the original media for this?

[unborn pilot]

click the "official art" link up above it.

[hasty anvil]

if the - could be null, maybe the psw is 10 characters long, but missing the 5th and 8th character

so not a date but 1 word

[unborn pilot]

true. could be 8 or 10

[jaunty creek]

Anyone got the guts to put in the numbers next to the qr code for the holtow skin and call it?

[jaunty creek]

These I mean

[crisp glen]

not long enough right?

[jaunty creek]

594-261-7857

[unborn pilot]

i think we tried a bunch of stuff like 1064-79-36, and dates that fit easter, holidays, etc but maybe we missed something

0 could be null so like 1647-93-66 but that still doesn't lead to any real dates :/

[acoustic canyon]

where would you input this password?

[unborn pilot]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/t3-f

[hasty anvil]

ovumaureum is 10 characters. Take out 5th and 8th you get ovum-ur-um

maybe something like that

[unique spruce]

05.15.25

[unborn pilot]

try it and anything you think of 🙂

[acoustic canyon]

gotcha. wasnt sure if there was a seperate password area for that seeing as it was february of last year

[hasty anvil]

A date makes too much sense to me, so it can't be that simple haha

[fallow plover]

it is a walk in the park though

2025-05-15 2025-15-05 try em

[jaunty creek]

How about the release date of the game?

[hasty anvil]

wouldn't make sense for this tier, the game dropped with no announcement

and we were supposed to solve this before release

[jaunty creek]

Then the OB release? Maybe one of the CB’s

Just a thought

If you’ve tried this already lmk I’m new to this

[hasty anvil]

It could be

There's a lot to try haha

Hopped on with the holtow drop and wanted to try my luck at any of this

[hasty anvil]

I don't think any game dates have had relevance yet

Cade just get your brother to solve this quick again

[jaunty creek]

Are there any hints in the inspect element?

[worldly cairn]

I think we are digging to deep into in game stuff. This whole level and even tier came out before the game even released. The secret stuff we are finding is probably for level 3. Rob said that level 3 clues were already out there, but we obviously need to solve level two first. As enticing as they are, we should steer away from any ingame clues as this puzzle pre-dates them all.

[unborn pilot]

he's been trying. 🙂

[hard forge]

my dumbass can't find it 😭.
it's embarrassing to ask again.

[hasty anvil]

It's kind of against our rules, but people that don't know the rules have tried it, i don't think anythings come of it

[hard forge]

got it!

[unborn pilot]

youre good 🙂 #official-art message its the image there with the can, the text is right under the finals logo

[jaunty creek]

Didn’t know or not, just thought I’d ask and will try to avoid it if possible

Anyway what has been tried? And what’s this about tiers that y’all are talking about

[acoustic canyon]

on https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 each password is for a different tier culminating into a larger level

[worldly cairn]

Their are multiple tiers that have their own passwords to enter and clues to solve

[acoustic canyon]

were on level 2 tier 3

[worldly cairn]

This is the final tier in the level

[remote rover]

What’s the first 2

[worldly cairn]

The first two were actually broken into 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e and 1f, as well as 2abc and 2def

The passwords and the clues we used to get them can be found here: https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

[remote rover]

What’s the 1st clues website

[worldly cairn]

wdym?

[remote rover]

I’m just confused 😂

[worldly cairn]

Lol, thats okay, what are you confused on?

[remote rover]

Where do you input the 1st clue

[hasty anvil]

Look at the wiki for level 1

and a breakdown of each tier in level 2

[worldly cairn]

The history of the first password is on the wiki

As wig said, their is a breakdown of past tiers as well

[remote rover]

What do we gain from cracking this

[worldly cairn]

We don't know yet!

[acoustic canyon]

[worldly cairn]

Anyways, anyone got anything? Like a password maybe? That would be nice!

[jaunty creek]

I’m looking back at some of the old stuff, is it just teaser images or is it stuff in game?

[worldly cairn]

Teaser

Most of this took place before the game launched

[jaunty creek]

Ahhh

[acoustic canyon]

most image clues we get are pictures in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1031539174743998526 that are then edited down in ps or some other image editing software to find hidden clues

it's not that easy 😉

#easter-eggs message Egglish language

gold egg > gold eggu

golden egg > golden eggu

To speak Egg Latin, insert an "egg" in front of the first vowel in every syllable. For example, "egg" would be "eggegg". The bold egg was the inserted one. If you take out the bold letters, it spells the English word. Another example: English: Chicken. Egg Latinish: Cheggickeggen. The name of this language: English: Egg Latin. Egg Latinish: Eggegg Leggateggin. It is really quite simple if you know how to do it.

T3 started about here #easter-eggs message

Or rather the previous tiers were solved then

[fleet current]

That can play into the current tier if we can find it to be one of the truths tho

[pulsar mason]

How on earth are we meant to discover what constitutes a truth?

We need to discover a set of criteria that determines what a truth is

Is a truth a common theme? We have a hundred of those so that can’t be it.

'Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.
'O dear Ophelia, I am ill at these numbers;
I have not art to reckon my groans: but that
I love thee best, O most best, believe it. Adieu.
'Thine evermore most dear lady, whilst
this machine is to him, HAMLET.'

This is a letter hamlet wrote to Ophelia where he mentions truth

[half bolt]

you guys want english version of that

Do you doubt that the stars are like fire?
Do you doubt that the sun moves?
Do you doubt that truth can be false?
But never doubt that I love you.
Oh dear Ophelia, I struggle to express my feelings accurately;
I cannot count the number of times I have groaned, but know this:
I love you more than anything, believe it. Goodbye.
Forever yours, my dearest lady, as long as
I am alive, HAMLET.

its alot easier to decipher in english lol

[pulsar mason]

Maybe we translate to latin?

[half bolt]

can do

[timid solstice]

Who told you to try that?

[half bolt]

Num dubitas stellas igne esse?
An dubitas quod sol moveat?
Num dubitas verum esse falsum?
Sed numquam dubito me amare.
O cara Ophelia, sensus meos accurate exprimere molior;
Numerare non possum pluries ingemui, sed hoc scio.
Plus amo te quam quicquam, hoc crede. Vale.
Semper tua, domina charissima, quamdiu
Vivus sum, VICULUS.

I'm guessing the three sixes are from the 2ABC and 2DEF, where we did G->6->VI

the t1-f-1 url for tier 2 abc is making me think we somehow have to subtract 1 from tier 1f (vit3llus). i think Wig had that thougth before

[west condor]

vit2llus?

[unique spruce]

from bottom to top the URLs are t1-a, t1-b, t1-c, t1-d, t1-f, then we get t1-f-1

maybe viold goes before vit3llus

The act of giving a false appearance
An artful or simulated semblance
A false or unsupportable quality
Imaginative intellectual play
Pretending with intention to deceive
A false reason or explanation that is used to hide the real purpose of something
An act or appearance that looks real but is false
A claim of having a particular quality, ability, condition, etc.

Tier 1 A through Tier 1 F are all t1-x
Tier 2 ABC is t1-f-1
Tier 3 DEF is t1-def

Then Tier 3 goes to t3-f.

I see the passwords that have been found but struggling to understand how they were found and how they may relate to the URLs

Additionally, clicking on those solved ones, I'm not sure what the pictures have anything to do with

(first time participating in anything like this, so apologies if it is painfully obvious)

[gloomy anvil]

The pictures are what were revealed when those tiers were solved, they contained clues for the next tier

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_Two:_THE_PROMISE

[fringe creek]

Thank you so much Ranty. This has everything I'm looking for

[unique spruce]

a screenshot included Fool's Parsely visible within frame which led us to Aethusa which led us to 1064. I forget what led us to the year 1979 but that led us to figuring out 79. mendeleev is the creator of the first periodic table and he discovered menedelevium (we had multiple clues that led us to that element) whose electron configuration is 5f137s2. combine those details and you get gold (atomic number 79, melting point 1064C, on the periodic table). we found a G6 Chord which led us to G=6=vi, so gold=viold

[unique spruce]

similar clues led us down the path of figuring out 0vif0rm (an oval shape), caco3 (calcium carbonate, in egg shells), and vitellus (latin for yolk) Those things combined give us an egg = e66 = evivi. missing plenty of details here as far as all the breadcrumbs but this is sort of a good high level explanation

[frozen badger]

Is the diamond clue supposed to help us open T3?

[hasty anvil]

diamond clues are gonna be used at the very end

like level 4 i think

For this tier, I think we were getting close with the idea that g6 e3 o0 came from egg passwords, but we need something from gold passwords

• golden egg + latin

We are close

Or maybe like flex said, golden egg is the password, we just need to figure out how to format it

but we've tried soooo many different things

[outer scroll]

yeah a false pretense

the finals is a lie and the contestants are stuck in a fake world and they can't get out because they keep drinking ospuse and its attacking their central nervous system, that's who/what CNS is, it's shutting down because the ospuze has a killer chemical in it that keeps the contestants in this zombie-like state where they can't stop playing.

1063 was the start of the pisan calendar or something

that still confuses me a bit

if you look at T1A padlet it should tell you

[gloomy anvil]

there isn't a T1A padlet

i was just inspecting some expressions and the 2 cute 2 dial has a chance of someone answering and saying "yes, hello?" in swedish. tried it again and i get the normal not answering tone. anything to go from?

just thinking if the expression name has anything to do with an easter egg?

[gloomy anvil]

oh the Pisa Cathedral is roman

[rain raptor]

also when i applied the holtow sticker to a gun and inspect it it has some weird scratchings on it and it looks like symbols. if you turn it so the sticker is pointing down it shows better

[unique spruce]

may have more relevant clues in that

[rain raptor]

anyone i can dm for the sticker? i dont have the right rank to post images

[hasty anvil]

i think there was a padlet but it's a bit harder to find

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/edit

meanwhile, this document is very useful for all early tiers

[gloomy anvil]

oh this? https://padlet.com/duhmeistertv/tfee-level-2-the-promise-t1a-jn8pzep2feryjhm6

thanks

[hasty anvil]

yep that's it

[rain raptor]

ranty or wig can i dm any of you guys the sticker ingame? i see some symbols scratched on it but i cant post the png here because of my rank

[hasty anvil]

yeah dm me

[green lake]

Halo guys...

[hasty anvil]

@rain raptor noticed these scratches, might be something

[rain raptor]

if anyone is good with saturation or maybe can alter it to see what it means?

[green lake]

Nah men, Rob said we already have everything and don't need to search new things in game

[green lake]

But anyways, this is good guess

[hasty anvil]

It might be useful in the future but we need to finish this level first

[rain raptor]

seems to be the only sticker with scratches

[gloomy anvil]

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

[green lake]

Is this scratch always the same on every gun and on sticker preview?

Check this please.

[fringe creek]

The URLs for the question marks are ques and tion. Split in half. The common question of the game is "Can you reach the finals?" Not counting spaces or punctuation, that is 20 characters. Splitting it down the middle would be "canyoureac" and "hthefinals". No idea if there is something there with gold or egg or what or if it is completely off.

[rain raptor]

seems like it ive checked all light atm

[hasty anvil]

i checked, i dont think so

[rain raptor]

same on the m60 just need to point the sticker down and a little to the left and the scratches shows

[hard forge]

Somebody plz tell me the relation between 1064 and leet!

[unique spruce]

The Golden Egg Book : Once there was a little bunny. He was all alone. One day he found an egg. He could hear something moving inside the egg. What was it?

[fringe creek]

A baby duck

[hard forge]

nvm got it 1064 c in k is 1337.15

which is LEET!

[unique spruce]

another golden egg book from 1984 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Egg

[hasty anvil]

it's light connection. 1064 celcius is 1337 F, which is leet for leet

[hard forge]

noo...it's in Kelvin.

[velvet narwhal]

1064C° in F° is 1948

[hasty anvil]

ohhh okay lol

[hard forge]

1947.2

[green lake]

That's my son's birthyear

[unique spruce]

no mentions of aesop got eyes

[hard forge]

Daddy?

[green lake]

MCMXLVIII - 1948

1337 - MCCCXXXVII

[green lake]

Yes I am

[unique spruce]

is it expected that rob is catching up daily and eyeing everything, or was there a point where its assumed he stopped and we're on our own?

[hard forge]

1064 C° = 1947.2 F° = 1337.15 K°

[hard forge]

i mean I was born in 1948

[velvet narwhal]

he said he checks daily: #easter-eggs message
But i dont know if he ever gave up on us...

Nice, good that you're not that genZ

[unique spruce]

so we havent made progress since 12/16

[hard forge]

C elcius N d F ahrenheit

[unique spruce]

last sign of progress was when we mentioned the red flashing gif on holtow.com was a square

lets maybe step back to that and pick back up on it

is this new? the cube icon there?

[velvet narwhal]

thats the default squarespace favicon

[unique spruce]

damn

He's called the Dark Knight simply because he works in the shadows

maybe a potential further clue is only present at night in game

[slender dew]

They really picked a light grey concrete block from Minecraft as their icon

[velvet narwhal]

i think a lot of ees will be time dependent but i dont think so for this tier

[hard forge]

now tell me clues for 5f137s2

[marsh dagger]

minecraft:stone

[unique spruce]

iirc multiple images referenced the element, mendelevium, md

[hard forge]

in terms of numbers did we have any clues?

[unique spruce]

it was discovered by mendeleev using a gold foil in an experiment, and he created the first periodic table

its electron configuration is 5f13s2

[hard forge]

except G, all substitution which has numbers are present in the Md electron configuration.

5, 1, 3, 7, 2

using the first row
we get, S, I, E, T and Z

[unique spruce]

not ignoring you but thinking about the SIETZ. on the topic of the visible bounding box around 1c and 1d: how about combining mendelevium with oviform somehow. like... mendelovum

mendelevium is silvery

but idk. i think the relevance of mendelevium here is limited to just simply 'periodic table'

[gloomy anvil]

have there been any clues at all within the question mark images?

besides the obvious gold and egg themes

[unique spruce]

the split "ques tion" is split by syllable

https://sites.google.com/site/cryptocrackprogram/user-guide/cipher-types/other/syllabary

[rain raptor]

what if you take the letters that doesnt translate to roman numerals, like "olde". it does correlate to old english and shakespeare

or if its an anagram for something else?

[hard forge]

i am stuck. 😭

[unique spruce]

working from the bottom up, the bottom 3 items together form gold and egg

[acoustic canyon]

I just showed this to some friends and asked them to try and decipher it lmao

They are having a lot of trouble

[unique spruce]

now what can we form using gold and egg together

lapis, stone, marble

precious stone

[hard forge]

royal omelette.

[acoustic canyon]

Can you eat a Faberge?

[rain raptor]

combinded they form the anagram "goggled"

what can that be with the numerals?

[unique spruce]

gold is technically edible

6066l3d

vi0viviliiid

vioviviliiid

[rain raptor]

any correlation with the clues?

[unique spruce]

not that i can connect

[wise mica]

where are the eggs

[hard forge]

SO NOBODY CHECKED THOMAS NORTON !?

[unique spruce]

connection?

[gloomy anvil]

apparently there are too many truths, but I can't find a single thing that has been true for every tier / subtier in level 2

besides numbers?

Roman seems to fall apart with 1C

[hard forge]

• Alchemist

• First one to use "combind"

• His philosophical egg.

[unique spruce]

a golden egg is an egg that has a golden shell. The inside could be hollow or another material.

A gold egg could be entirely gold, inside and out

[acoustic canyon]

That's a pretty good connection

[rain raptor]

isnt there a recipe for a golden egg? think its when you scramble it before cracking it

using rotational force

[unique spruce]

what do you mean first one to use 'combind' ?

[hard forge]

The earliest known use of the word "combind" is from 1477, in the writing of alchemist Thomas Norton.

[buoyant nymph]

anything with phone numbers yet?

[unique spruce]

that is a strong connection

[hard forge]

He was also a poet.

[unique spruce]

1477 Volcano Bardarbunga erupts

[hard forge]

Thomas Norton's Ordinal of Alchemy mentions eggs in the context of the Philosopher's stone. In the text, the stone is referred to as "oure delycious stone

[unique spruce]

Efforts to discover the philosopher's stone were known as the Magnum Opus ("Great Work")

[hard forge]

IMHO, I think I am on a rabbit hole.

Rob won't go this deep. But who knows.

[unique spruce]

Prima materia is also the name alchemists assign to the starting ingredient for the creation of the philosopher's stone

the first matter of the stone is the very same with the first matter of all things

an egg?

lapis philosophorum

Another depiction of the philosopher's stone is the Shyāmantaka Mani (श्यामन्तक मणि).[citation needed] According to Hindu mythology, the Shyāmantaka Mani is a ruby, capable of preventing all natural calamities such as droughts, floods, etc. around its owner, as well as producing eight bhāras (≈170 pounds or 77 kilograms) of gold, every day

Often expressed as a series of color changes or chemical processes, the instructions for creating the philosopher's stone are varied. When expressed in colors, the work may pass through phases of nigredo, albedo, citrinitas, and rubedo. When expressed as a series of chemical processes it often includes seven or twelve stages concluding in multiplication, and projection.

[hard forge]

"Walk in the park" mate

[unique spruce]

black, white, yellow, red

[rain raptor]

in the clues doc wig said something about a ruby

[unique spruce]

yes ruby has been come across

[hard forge]

If I take a walk in the park with gold....I might get Rob 🕯️

[unique spruce]

lol

[outer scroll]

dude. 🤣

you're going absolutely clinical before my very eyes.

we've all lost it.

we just need a little direction or a reset or something of the sort. this is bad.

[hard forge]

Maybe he is waiting for us in the park. We can take a good look in his eyes there.

[rain raptor]

maybe if we are lucky the next store refresh might have a clue

[crisp glen]

yeah, the overthinking has reached maximum velocity

[outer scroll]

it should not have anything to do with the game but Embark are nice people and they might honestly throw a store update out just for us.

[buoyant nymph]

numbers and letters with no formats to put them in :[

[outer scroll]

that's what I'm saying, we've no order.

[acoustic canyon]

Buy the gold dust sword skin and take a nice walk through the park in Monaco. Rob will appear and gift you the password

[crisp glen]

we are focusing more on formats and stuff and not trying to figure out the meaning of the question marks

[buoyant nymph]

questionmarks are quest ion marks

they put lil ions like u and me on quests 🙂

[crisp glen]

pfft

[buoyant nymph]

look into your heart shinji ikari, you know mumford and sons to be true

[crisp glen]

what is gold? a metal. what is egg? a food/new life

[buoyant nymph]

what is man? but a miserable pile of secrets

[crisp glen]

the password is metalfood I did it

[unique spruce]

heavy metal rock

[buoyant nymph]

metal egg: crack in the system

[unique spruce]

like death by rhodent

[acoustic canyon]

This is a link to the bronze age

[crisp glen]

omg

[buoyant nymph]

bronze H

gold G

[gloomy anvil]

is there one thing that has legitimately been true throughout every subtier of this level?

[buoyant nymph]

sorry im having a conniption. green G 33 type

brb

[hard forge]

suffering

[crisp glen]

lmao

[unique spruce]

pain and misery

[buoyant nymph]

based

[hard forge]

the five truths:
suffering
pain
misery
gold
egg

[rain raptor]

that reaction isnt allowed! its only reserved for rob

[unique spruce]

every single password had numbers whether it be roman numerals or not

[robust seal]

and the occasional "hey guys have you seen the qr code?"

[buoyant nymph]

where do the passwords go

[unique spruce]

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

click

[buoyant nymph]

honestly forgot about that

lmfao

[hard forge]

i am looking for it now.

[unique spruce]

its easier to see if you eliminate the background

[fringe creek]

When was the QR code first released?

[unique spruce]

but if you just watch for a bit til the darker parts of the background come in, you can see the bounding boxes around 1d and 1c

almost like those 2 things are our 2 main 'threads'

an oval shape and the periodic table

[crisp glen]

not a bad thought

how to apply it though

[hard forge]

step 1 would be to open up electron configuration of Md or Au

[unique spruce]

is there any element that is elliptical/oval in shape naturally?

[rain raptor]

anyone have a clue about the five truths? only thing on the padlet says hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths

[outer scroll]

yes i do

i've sent my screenshots twice and nobody has said a thing regarding em.
