Oh great Hermit, please show us the Truths!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hermit_(tarot_card)

According to Eden Gray, his lantern is the Lamp of Truth, used to guide the unknowing, his patriarch's staff helps him navigate narrow paths as he seeks enlightenment and his cloak is a form of discretion.

[twin hatch]

There are lanterns or at least lantern shaped objects on Monaco right? I think I remember ppl far above talking about the egg shaped detail on the sconces on Monaco?
Maybe if we follow the lanterns it will show us more white rabbits? I don't know of any white rabbit images in Monaco....?

There was an image where they had the egg detail thing maybe someone here remembers this also.

impersonation 🤣

[fallen jasper]

I mean if one were Rob then wouldn't u be able to contact the team to still give u the role lmao

[gloomy anvil]

hey guys rob here my main account got banned pls cashapp me $50 so I can make more clues

What if space mean s p a c e? CNS appeared only in the last 2 stages. And in the metadata were the messages "OPEN YOUR EYES...CNS - SLIES" and "CNS DONT TRUS*"
Also holtow 5.15.25=EOY=OYE has been confirmed 👀 #easter-eggs message

Hey, can you tell me why you tried tagging rob? Where did you read to do this?

[sharp flame]

I thought he was joking by saying that was his account name

[fallen jasper]

No, I just thought he might help me

[pure loom]

He can't. Posting ban issues in this channel can get you suspended, so you're best just to use #📧┇contact-us

[hasty anvil]

I think Flex means someones telling these people to come here and tag Rob

[fallen jasper]

I just started this game, so I'm still not proficient. I don't understand why my account is restricted from logging in

[pure loom]

It could just be an error - you need to use #📧┇contact-us to resolve it though

This channel is only for Easter Egg discussion

[fallen jasper]

I'm sorry, I'm very ignorant

I just logged in and lifted the restrictions. I don't understand why I was banned, but I'm glad it lifted my game restrictions

Yes, thank you

[pure loom]

How many days are we up to with Tier 3, so far, does anyone know?

[gloomy anvil]

about 52

[pure loom]

Here's a graph showing the number of days it took us to solve each part so far

[hasty anvil]

The jump from 1C to 1D

[gloomy anvil]

I remember checking this a few days ago, it amazed me how long DEF took compared to ABC

moreso how little time ABC took, because I understand DEF taking a while

[snow walrus]

good! we have still at least +50days haha

[pure loom]

In four days our downward trend will be interrupted

just discovered a 1956 painting of a Golden Egg with Latin inscriptions that were excerpted from a 15th century alchemy text

https://tenor.com/view/readyto-iovers-soccer-funny-crying-headinhands-gif-24926055

nooooo gif

[pure loom]

[gloomy anvil]

but I did actually find that, if anyone's interested https://thehauntedshoreline.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/an-easter-egg/

Here are a couple of striking egg-related works by Leonora Carrington; firstly Ab Eo Quod, from 1956

The magnificent golden egg is the centrepiece here, but as usual with Leonora, the whole canvas bursts with enigmatic imagery. The Latin inscription on the chair back reads Ab eo, quod nigram caudam habet abstine terrestrium enim decorum est. I am indebted to Susan Aberth’s book Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art for the information that this is excerpted from a 14th century alchemical text known as the Ascensus Nigrum

[frozen badger]

Does this theory have a right to life?

[sharp flame]

wait what have we not surpassed D to G yet

[acoustic canyon]

ab eo quod translates to "from the fact that"

[sharp flame]

it felt longer

[hard forge]

i don't think so

Well guys, we haven't decrypted the 10mill code yet.

#game-announcements message

[acoustic canyon]

inscryption on the chair translates to "Keep away from that with a black tail; this is the beauty of the Earth"

Do we have a link to alchemy for T3?

We have been talking about Alchemy for 3 weeks and got no eyes.

[acoustic canyon]

tbf nothing has gotten eyes for 3 weeks

[hard forge]

T3 is a wild goose chase till now.

[gloomy anvil]

Correction alert ‼️ (not super relevant but still)

and what about her related 1956 canvas AB EO QUOD? Will we ever find out what is really happening in this room? First of all, we must correct Susan Aberth’s suggestion, in her otherwise very valuable study of Carrington, that the Latin text on the left derives from a supposed alchemical text of 1351 ungrammatically titled Asensus Nigrum

It has its origin in Marsilio Ficino’s Latin translation of a Pythagorean passage, which had been quoted by Carl Gustav Jung in his book Psychology and Alchemy, well known to Carrington.

[pure loom]

I'm not sure if I know about this - where was the code?

[hard forge]

I mean the barcode

[pure loom]

oh, right. It does look different

I hadn't seen that

[hard forge]

That image is also in 2k iirc

So something is definitely there.

[gloomy anvil]

a potential T3 clue we haven't solved yet? that's big

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

haha

[fresh quiver]

but i think this is the wrong orientation around

[pure loom]

I rotated it

[gloomy anvil]

binary? 010001110011110100110110

[fresh quiver]

in the wrong direction

[pure loom]

How would we know which direction?

[timid solstice]

If it followed the other text

[fresh quiver]

of the other parts of the right side

[pure loom]

It can be binary - it is divisible by 8

[fresh quiver]

i probably would assume so

[pure loom]

ok, I'll re-do it

[fresh quiver]

direction, if followed the other text:

or
01101100 10111100 11100010

thanks @gloomy anvil for the hex values

but we can work both ways to be sure

I noticed that some images in the past also have barcodes. Did we decode them as well?

[gloomy anvil]

147 67 29
10010011 01000011 00011101

[fresh quiver]

put all 4 possibilites when we see every way above you and edited it 🙂

[hard forge]

Also this one has
|0|
|1|
|0|
|0|

while the few images in the past has

|0|
|0|
|0|
|0|

[fresh quiver]

which ones?

[hard forge]

all the ones which have color codes on the right side

[fresh quiver]

no when you compare them. every other is just straight lines and not this high quality. this one is easily to read and differs from thicker and thinner lines. thats what this makes interesting

@gloomy anvil you may want to convert the other 2 possibilities as well? that we have all 4 ways?

[gloomy anvil]

4?

I might be dumb but aren't there only two directions to read this in

[fresh quiver]

we can also invert 1=0 0=1

[gloomy anvil]

oh right

for this:

[pure loom]

got it, I think, one sec

[hard forge]

So I noticed all the older images had 2 types of barcodes. The mil has only 1.

Could the older barcodes help with which part of 10 mil barcode is relevant?

[gloomy anvil]

[acoustic canyon]

when was this clue from?

[gloomy anvil]

dec 22

isn't that the most recent?

[fresh quiver]

we are dumb.

[acoustic canyon]

so is that g=6 confirmed for this tier?

[fresh quiver]

we looked everytime the other way around

[hard forge]

wow

[fresh quiver]

G=6 confirmed

it cannot be more clear...

[pure loom]

It is after the 2ABC/2DEF was solved

[fresh quiver]

yes

[gloomy anvil]

uh wow

that's cool

didn't think we'd solve a clue today

[pure loom]

so maybe we go for "6old e66" (GOLD EGG) or something like that?

[fresh quiver]

2ABC / 2DEF were solved before my time here in tfee.
but i was told they were finished around 27th november 23

[acoustic canyon]

walk in the park

[gloomy anvil]

*17th

[pure loom]

Maybe we drop using Roman numerals?

[acoustic canyon]

rob is the nazgul watching us

[hard forge]

Rob will see and be like - "haha, noobs"

[fresh quiver]

take golden egg / gold egg substitute the letters with roman numbers and then transfer them pack into normal numbers?

[pure loom]

I think we still have Latin as an option too, right?

[hard forge]

yes

[limpid hinge]

Does anyone else hear weird voices in the loading screens?

[hard forge]

Latin numerals and Roman numerals are the same thing btw.

[sharp flame]

what are these

[gloomy anvil]

the binary octets that were solved to mean G=6

[fresh quiver]

something we dont need anymore with a thanks to Rockhound 😄

[sharp flame]

but from what source I mean haha

[fresh quiver]

10mil

[gloomy anvil]

#game-announcements message

bar code style pattern in the top right

[sharp flame]

but why so many

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

[velvet narwhal]

with backwards and inverted

[gloomy anvil]

we took all 4 possible interpretations of the code

[sharp flame]

G=6 is old though

[fresh quiver]

but now kind of confirmed to be used in the tier3 password

we only suspected that the password will have g=6. that was not confirmed before now

[pure loom]

It was given to us after the old tier though

[sharp flame]

exactly

so we use it again?

[pure loom]

yeah

[fresh quiver]

100%

is that maybe 1 of the 5 truths then?

[hard forge]

rob said to combine the truths. Remember?

And we have GOLDENEGG from patch notes

[fresh quiver]

lets try to put this together.
we should atleast have: 60LDENE66

[hard forge]

So if g=6 is used then we don't need to translate the goldenegg to Latin

[hard forge]

This

[fresh quiver]

L? latin again for 50?

we think already had that for lxxix

[hard forge]

yeah

[hard forge]

cuz

[fresh quiver]

6050DENE66

6050500ENE66

[river flame]

this is how we got viold evivi

[gloomy anvil]

Remember to make password attempts in lowercase

#easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

E can = 3

also N can be 0 potentially

[acoustic canyon]

the only thing ive seen n mean is either 0 for null or 7 for nitrogen

[sharp flame]

GoldenEgg + G=6 + Latin + ??

[velvet narwhal]

We are so close

[pure loom]

However, when Rob checked the password, he did say "spell" as in letters

[hard current]

must be latin character only then?

[pure loom]

wait, I can't find that - maybe I just made that up haha

#easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

oh

XD

[pure loom]

He actually said "wrote the... password"

so it could be anything

[gloomy anvil]

Yep #easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

we also could think 450 if it is DL

[pure loom]

no G's in aurum ovum or variations of that

[acoustic canyon]

#1175206999802249307 message this is the password inputted closest to him saying that he may have wrote the password incorrectly

[fresh quiver]

when we have fluent numbers we may could take the periodic table with the numbers like 79 for gold and just try put them together?

[hard forge]

If g=6 is used,

why not 6=vi

[limpid yarrow]

Is it bad that I think of the g6 summit when reading g= 6

Could ot also be a ceaser cypher maybe as that was on the word search thing

Well ceaur was

Dam my dyslexia

Also g could also maybe mean group no ?

[hasty anvil]

wait the barcode was g=6?

[hard forge]

and I think this made #1175206999802249307 message Rob retry the password

[hard forge]

yes!

[fresh quiver]

we looked from the side the other text was like. we would have needed to turn it 180°

[kindred saddle]

this is 1666

[limpid yarrow]

1ggg

[kindred saddle]

sorry mb i'm sleepy it's not even correct hahaaha

[hasty anvil]

I was looking at that barcode for so long I can't believe it

[timid solstice]

Barcode solved

[hasty anvil]

so g6 0o confirmed this tier

did we have any e=3 reference this tier?

[hard forge]

And Goldenegg

[gloomy anvil]

where was 0o confirmed?

[fresh quiver]

we would really need to find out what n is. i think 3 may be true as how many times rob wrote 3

or shift all of 3?

[hasty anvil]

Rob has done the 0FC and OFC during this tier

[sharp flame]

but why though

[fresh quiver]

this then would be as of now with things we got after 2DEF
60ldene66

[pure loom]

I mean if G = 6 then maybe it doesn't equal vi, but that could be wrong too

[fresh quiver]

we need:
l = ?
d = ?
e = ?
n = ?

l and d could be roman numbers

[sharp flame]

we had G=6 in the tier 2ABCDEF though

[limpid yarrow]

Couldn't l be 1?

[sharp flame]

verbatim iirc

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message this is the 0FC message for reference

[hard forge]

@hasty anvil you were close

[pure loom]

yeah, so it could still be G = 6 = vi

[kindred saddle]

could it be LXLDIIINCCCLXVI

[hasty anvil]

I don't even remember why i typed that haha

[velvet narwhal]

i just tried that

[kindred saddle]

because 60 ld 3 n 366

the numbers were in roman as 60 3 and 366

[fresh quiver]

why 3?

[kindred saddle]

e=3

[gloomy anvil]

lowercase remember

[fresh quiver]

we dont have it confirmed yet for t3

[velvet narwhal]

yep

[fresh quiver]

tried that

[fresh quiver]

where was it confirmed?

[gloomy anvil]

e3 hasn't been confirmed in T3 but it would follow the theme of G=6 (and maybe o=0) from earlier tiers

[hard forge]

for this Tier no where, but we got vit3llus

[sharp flame]

the o in gold could be 0 like 0vif0rm

doesn't quite have a latin equivalent though

[kindred saddle]

yeah but having it near the g makes it 60

[pure loom]

just posting the correct version here for later reference (barcode from the 10Mil image in #game-announcements from 22 Dec 2023: #game-announcements message)

[sharp flame]

why haven't we tried vi0ldevivi

[velvet narwhal]

but with the 6 from g you could make 60 -> lx

[fresh quiver]

put goldenegg with substitution in the facts channel as extra post

Rockhound does, think Fish does aswell

[sharp flame]

I'm not kidding guys

[fallen jasper]

What

[sharp flame]

we have been given ciphers for g, o, e

[pure loom]

yeah, I'm just adding the 10Mil stuff in now

[hard forge]

this

[sharp flame]

that's 5/7 letters

in fact ALL of the ciphered letters from previous tiers are in "goldegg"

[fallen jasper]

I thought you solved it for a second and I was going to be angry if it was actually just "goldegg"

[fresh quiver]

4/7?

[hard forge]

then why did they give us GOLDEN IN patch notes

[velvet narwhal]

i would end myself

[sharp flame]

oh shit!!!

[fallen jasper]

Absolutely wild thing to say to a CM but okay

[sharp flame]

all of my password attempts have been goldegg

not goldenegg

[fallen jasper]

Please don't

[velvet narwhal]

never

[fresh quiver]

#1194001777452929154 message

there you have the current overview

[fallen jasper]

Rest easy because it's not goldenegg either

[hasty anvil]

lxldccclxvi. I tried this but can't work out how i got it haha

im pretty sure it was just goldegg this one

[kindred saddle]

wait

[fresh quiver]

try a password which is not on the tried passwords list 😄 maybe u would hit it

[pure loom]

what do you mean by this? (which is me saying I don't understand )

[fresh quiver]

but werent we given GOLDENEGG in the patchnotes?

[velvet narwhal]

lx = 60, ld, ccclxvi = 366

[sharp flame]

We got g = vi, e = 3, o = 0 for 0vif0rm, vit3llum, and viold evivi respectively

g, e, o are all in "goldenegg"

[pure loom]

d and l weren't really ciphered though

oh, sorry I see

[sharp flame]

all ciphered letters

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/im-an-idiot-elmo-shrugs-gif-6160087

It's not complicated (jk)

[pure loom]

ha, I just tried that

[acoustic canyon]

we could also just try adding a question mark to everything

[fresh quiver]

but l &d would be already roman so it could also be 450 .-. i just noticed

[gloomy anvil]

only letters and numbers

[acoustic canyon]

ah

[hasty anvil]

Latin could be the key for us finding number subs for l d and n

[kindred saddle]

the issue is that rob said that some already written password was the thing he thought he had written the wrong password

[gloomy anvil]

This reminds me I recall finding something that decoded to olde, can't for the life of me remember what it was

[hasty anvil]

He also said not 'really' close, but close. which tbf could mean anything from rob haha

[hard forge]

Like walk in the park

[velvet narwhal]

this feels sooooooo close to the answer but sadly i gotta
Please make it so I didn't just dream that we solved it

[kindred saddle]

and it seems we're overcomplicating it seeing this

[gloomy anvil]

wake up... there was no barcode... no binary... our best lead is still thomas norton

[hard forge]

😂

[fresh quiver]

he didnt confirmed it that. only said that he was in panic because he thought he may wrote the wrong password

[hasty anvil]

So a message before this was close

[kindred saddle]

yeah but i don't think if that password was like this it made him think that he had written the wrong one

[hard forge]

And what made rob think that?

[acoustic canyon]

#1175206999802249307 message this is the last message in that channel before he checked

[hasty anvil]

I'm gonna hate if i was 1-2 letters off

[hard forge]

He was actively taking in this chat. He could have opened T3 - password page for the first time.

[pure loom]

maybe we should try lots of these backwards as well - mirrored has been a strong clue

[hard forge]

Given by Rob himself for vit3llus

d=b?

[pure loom]

doesn't really work for L though

[sharp flame]

yeah for 3 = E, nowhere else really

[hasty anvil]

have we had any indication this tier for e=3?

[unique spruce]

Breakfast. The password is breakfast. Thats what you get when you combine stuff with eggs

[hasty anvil]

or any unsolved clues

[hard forge]

No

[sharp flame]

it started with Panda Zipline official art which was the vit3llum tier

[pure loom]

Breakfast of champions

[fresh quiver]

what i think should be a thing:
rob said that he thought he wrote the password wrong.
you cant wrote that much wrong with the "easy" letter to number substitution.
What when its all converted from there-on to roman / latin numbers?

with the lots of "vii viii iv" this password would be more complicate to write and more possibilities to think he wrote it wrong.

if someone can get what i mean

[hasty anvil]

yeah it's easy to miss and overlook one 'i'

[hard forge]

walk in the park = lots of combinations

[hasty anvil]

Rob mentions how we move on to level 3 a few times, maybe this is our e=3 clue

[sharp flame]

also can we talk about this again

why and what

[pure loom]

yeah good point fish

[hasty anvil]

i don't want to that scares me

golden yolk instead of golden egg?

Such a fish thing to say

which would have led us to t3-f

[hasty anvil]

Cade came up with this for the urls

[sharp flame]

reminder that I found the t3-f page by chance, pure luck, just a silly idea

okay using what I know about previous clues and their format

[fallen jasper]

tbf we tend to use yolk a lot in all of our things

When we started using it we couldn't stop using it

[sharp flame]

oviform was given to us straight up, so I can accept that some form of the term goldenegg is the password

goldenegg must be the password, or otherwise the name of a golden egg

otherwise there is an overwhelming amount of golden and egg clues

[hard forge]

exactly 🤣

[pure loom]

yeah, I think we should press on with it being GOLDENEGG in some form

[hasty anvil]

the only letters i'm reluctant on are E and N

but E can be e=3

[sharp flame]

E = 3 was given to us though

[kindred saddle]

remember "Walk in the park"

[sharp flame]

I'm as sure about that as O = 0

[hasty anvil]

E on the basis we haven't had a clear e=3 clue this tier yet, but i'd assume it's included

[acoustic canyon]

and N is 0 in latin numerals

which is kinda confusing with O=0

[somber gyro]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabergé_egg going down the rabbit hole

[fresh quiver]

in latin aswell?`nice

[hasty anvil]

That's why I don't think N=0 cause that would confuse us with o=0 right?

[timid solstice]

Thing is do we go goldenegg to Latin then use the keys on that

[pure loom]

yeah, I've looked at these a lot, but we never got any confirmation from Rob on that path

[sharp flame]

it's either o=0, e=3 both together or neither

[somber gyro]

Sadly I don't think Faberge egg is related :D

[hasty anvil]

btw, N=7 if we use chemisty / periodic table of nitrogen = 7

[dusk swan]

What's the hunt like so far?

[sharp flame]

defo could be, Rob would have found them very early on in his research, I'm sure there are a few references

[twin hatch]

its a far reach for the faberge egg bit, I also thought that for a minute before as well

[dusk swan]

Have we found anything solid?

[somber gyro]

I like the idea that because its t3-f it might also start with "vi"

[twin hatch]

chaotic

[orchid quest]

is the egg cracked in the picture

[kindred saddle]

eggs

[dusk swan]

Tamas?

[sharp flame]

I know the term "goldenegg" was straight up given to us because we were bumbling around with "gold egg" and not golden

so now we have "goldenegg" and what else, the ciphers?

[fresh quiver]

golden + egg + latin +

[pure loom]

we worked out the barcode on the 10Mil image today (#game-announcements message)

he's hinting that there's more right? "[that] AND ...." "[that] + ...."

[sharp flame]

line 197 = 197_Gold

[timid solstice]

AND Elements?

[fresh quiver]

maybe yes

[hasty anvil]

the 1+2+3+4+5= 15 = 3+6+6 = egg might mean we need to add everything in that form

[sharp flame]

I think what I was saying were actually direct components of the answer

[hard forge]

It's not you it's me. I am extremely sorry. 😭😭😭
O is underlined not N

Numbers are highlighted in green tho. All of it.

[sharp flame]

Gold + Egg was the word, Latin was part of the "code", now we need something else to encode

[pure loom]

GOLDEN + EGG + LATIN + substitution (or leet)?

[sharp flame]

if we strengthen what we know, and dismiss our current assumptions, then we will find something

[hasty anvil]

If Rob said we are close with goldegg attempts, then gave us goldenegg, i think we need to retry with goldenegg again

[gloomy anvil]

Ignore that I actually attempted breakfast as a password

[sharp flame]

we could possibly drop the o=0 and 3=e

since they aren't CONFIRMED confirmed

[limpid yarrow]

I mean the the reach the finals site also has a random blank page

It almost looks like the 7.5 mil image should have a barcode binary too, but its resolution is so low it compresses the lines together.

[timid solstice]

More civilised than that I would hope

[timid solstice]

Yeah it’s very low res in comparison

[limpid yarrow]

Could it be a overlap thing?

It's 1080x compared to 10 mil which is 2160x. The rest of the image is awkwardly compressed too, the color boxes bleed into each other.

[pure loom]

That image was before 2ABC/2DEF were solved, so might not contribute to this

[hasty anvil]

anyone noticed the numbers when you load the game where the barcode would be?

I imagine the epic hunt is what will include meatspace clues

It’s not

It doesn’t change

Btw rob also made a point of saying 3 here #easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

I'm stuck with converting to numbers then converting to latin. So far I have:
egg = 3+6+6 = 15 = XV
golden = 6+0+50+500+3+N = 559+N = DLIX+N

it's just N giving problems

[timid solstice]

How fast he message you wig ?

You got this

[hasty anvil]

instantly it was a convo

[hard forge]

=0

[fallen jasper]

Rob is like that, he's a sweet guy.

[hasty anvil]

N replacements could be 0 like null, but that would confuse us with o=0

but it's possible

[timid solstice]

So you say 3 = e that was the fast response?

[hasty anvil]

yeah i'd say so

N=7 from chemistry side

[fresh quiver]

60lde7ne66 =

[hasty anvil]

wait if N=0 it would just be 559 nevermind lol

maybe lore related?

definitely not tier 3 related

i hope

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah holtow seems closer to either Level 3 or TEH

[hasty anvil]

I want to finish this tier so we can start looking at that stuff more

[hasty anvil]

this feels like the right direction

[somber gyro]

Btw can those couple of color blocks on the 10mil image mean something?

The ones on the right side

[hasty anvil]

It's on most images in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1031539174743998526

[fresh quiver]

6 0 50 500 3 7 366 also a variant?

n=nitrogen

[somber gyro]

Ah, and it seems to be identical everywhere

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message
(it's level 3 BTW, just in case you missed that... ._. ) we had 4 truths at this point, maybe the level is a hint towards the 5th truth?

[pulsar mason]

I like this, it fits with the combined theme. We convert each letter to numbers, then add them, then the resulting number spelled out in Latin

[hasty anvil]

I can't rememeber the reason, it's like colour correction or something, but yeah don't think it is

[limpid yarrow]

Could g = 6 be group 6?

As in periodic table group ?

[pure loom]

I’m meaning the one on the top of the weapon. Or maybe they are the same?

I’m just away from my PC for the moment, but I can compare in a bit

[pulsar mason]

Is O = 0??

[hard forge]

n=7 is a stretch

[fresh quiver]

already late for me. hope you get some more conclusions. gn8

[pulsar mason]

We just need D and N

[hasty anvil]

2 threads = goldenegg= password
truths = latin+g6+e3+o0+...

[pulsar mason]

Wait D is 500

[limpid yarrow]

Imma also call it a night I probs haven't helped much but good luck

[hasty anvil]

D we can use roman numeral

it's just N for the last thing we need

it's the only one we can't confirm

unless we just leave it as N

[twin hatch]

lowercase right its case sensitive

[fresh quiver]

ques_tion
divider between them? like the N? sorry but now im off 😄

[pulsar mason]

Tried it

[twin hatch]

n in mathematics is usually the variable

[hard forge]

Only 1A and 1B were purely letters / numbers.

[twin hatch]

n could be the result of adding up numbers from goldenegg?

[hard forge]

goodnight

[twin hatch]

I think its a stretch but maybe not

[pulsar mason]

Golden egg has an N in it, can’t loop it

G = 6
O = 0
L = 50
D = 500
E = 3
N = ??
E = 3
G = 6
G = 6

[pure loom]

It could be a missing letter and then part of an anagram. If it was an A then it could make the word EQUATIONS

Or the underscore could represent the “EN” on golden which is an addition

[pulsar mason]

I put a password in and it loaded for ages I thought I got it 😭😭

I still don’t know what hamlet has to do with any of this??

[twin hatch]

lol I just did too

[hasty anvil]

I think this means there's 4 levels not 5

#easter-eggs message Rob hinting latin is a theme this level since July

[hard forge]

n=nulla

[pulsar mason]

G = 6 = vi
O = 0 = 0
L = 50 = l
D = 500 = d
E = 3 = iii
N = ??
E = 3 = iii
G = 6 = vi
G = 6 = vi

[hard forge]

Tier 1A and 1C didn't have latin in the password directly.

[hasty anvil]

fish said Rob's using latin just that tier
Rob replies like only this tier...? haha

I think he just means he uses it a lot this level

[pulsar mason]

Assuming N = 0 (null), this adds up to 574 (DLXXIV)

If N represents a break, GOLDE adds up to 559 (DLIX) and EGG adds up to 15 (XV)

[hard forge]

i think LD = 550 since we have that "Find PWD= XXXX-XX-XX" which is 10 char.

And Goldenegg is 9 char.
so Gol550negg will make it 10 char.

[pulsar mason]

Ooh okay

[hard forge]

this could be something tho

[twin hatch]

right because nulla is nothing

[pulsar mason]

Did we get confirmation that passwords do not have spaces or underscores?

[twin hatch]

no spaces I believe it was

[pure loom]

Here's the barcode on top of the Holtow M11 skin

And the docket/receipt

[twin hatch]

sorry where is the Find PWD from?

[hard forge]

The receipt is an invalid EAN 13

the correct one would be 000153

+3 that is.

[hasty anvil]

maybe find psw = DLIX - xx - XV, like a sum. or DLIX - N - XV

[hard forge]

old tier. Not solved

[pure loom]

Is EAN 13 a type of barcode?

[acoustic canyon]

yeah

[hard forge]

yes

[pure loom]

the one on top looks too blurry to work with, but they do look different to me

[grave summit]

"In source code, the null character is often represented as the escape sequence \0 in string literals" end of golden

[hard forge]

@pure loom in case you haven't seen this yet. #1185727960980922488 message

[pulsar mason]

Based on @hard forge theory, the below is what I have:

G = 6 = vi
O = 0 = 0
LD = 550 = DL
E = 3 = iii
N = ?? (nulla/null/0)
E = 3 = iii
G = 6 = vi
G = 6 = vi

[pure loom]

LD should be 450, right?

[twin hatch]

L is 50
D is 500

[pulsar mason]

L is 500, D is 50, the theory is they add together

[pure loom]

other way around

L = 50, D = 500

[pure loom]

ok, I get the adding bit

[hard forge]

i ment 450*

but rob said +

[blazing coral]

Does anyone know what the QR code on the sticker is about

I went to the website but got a red dot flashing

[pure loom]

you know as much as we do so far haha

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

i've been adding L and D making 550 not 450... that might be it

[pulsar mason]

You’re right **

450 = CDL

[pure loom]

574 if you total all of them

[pulsar mason]

Yep, I posted that earlier with Roman numerals. Didn’t work as a password

[pure loom]

ok, cool

[hasty anvil]

i tried 574 and dlxxiv earlier

[pure loom]

sorry, I just got back from having lunch

[hasty anvil]

but that might be with the mistake of ld =550 where it should be 450

[pulsar mason]

Why would it be 450? If L = 50 and D = 500 then why would it be 450

[hard forge]

because in Roman

when a smaller number is placed before a larger number, you subtract.

[hasty anvil]

so like iv =4

v - i = 4

5-1=4

[hard forge]

450 is correct

[pulsar mason]

Oh shit good point

[pulsar mason]

G = 6 = vi
O = 0 = 0
LD = 450 = CDL
E = 3 = iii
N = ??
E = 3 = iii
G = 6 = vi
G = 6 = vi

Adding together you get 474 (CDLXXIV) when assuming N = 0

[hasty anvil]

If my answer was 'close' my format would be wrong I didn't do roman numerals the proper way

[hard forge]

We got Goldenegg from 2 threads. Now we need 5 truths as a key.

G, O, LD, E, N

If we treat LD and separate, then we have 5 truths.

If we treat LD as 450 then n=???.

[pure loom]

the LD would be new though, right? I mean we haven't really seen LD or 450 feature before

[hard forge]

we have seen 79

lxxix and 3=iii

but that means LD can't be 450. It should be other way around.

[pulsar mason]

I’m slow, what would those five truths be?

[hard forge]

we don't know yet.

#easter-eggs message

[pulsar mason]

You said that if we treat LD as seperate then we have 5 truths??

[hard forge]

I meant G=6, e=3, o=0 , L and D

[pulsar mason]

Oh makes sense

Still no N

[hard forge]

Now I don't think LD=450

#easter-eggs message

[young flax]

I'm so confused

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message we went on too many rabbit holes since this lol

[pure loom]

Well, Latin has been part of the whole thing, so that's probably one. Gold and Egg could be as well. And substitution could be, except there was no substitution in Tier 1A

[pulsar mason]

Simpler times

[hard forge]

if gold and egg are truth, then what are 2 threads?

are threads truth too?

[hasty anvil]

tbh, gold and egg thread everything together, and golden egg we think is the password

[hard forge]

1. we got g=6 confirmation.

2. rob hinted 0 with "0FC"

3. e=3 ???

[pulsar mason]

Okay bear with me here…

We have been considering Golden Egg, what if it’s Gold EnEgg. En is often a prefix in Latin meaning in or inside. This means gold enegg is gold inside the egg. This is yolk (vitellus)

[pure loom]

what if "t3-f" should be "te-f" - so cacoiii-vit3llus? (so swap the 3 for an E)

[acoustic canyon]

eggshell-yolk

[pure loom]

This is a good idea

[pure loom]

Could that then be some sort of cryptic crossword-type clue? Like "inside" means within the word like EGOLDGG

[pulsar mason]

I tried with Roman numerals, negative

[buoyant nymph]

Gabriel?

[hasty anvil]

So goldenegg, if LD=450 should be:
6.0.450.3.n.3.6.6

fish was speedrunning earlier where did he go

we need him

[unique spruce]

e should definitely be 3 as we have vit3llus

how about 'consolidating' (or whatever the term would be) the roman numerals? evivi = exii because vi+vi = 12 and 12 is xii

or... i guess that could be evivi > 3vivi > iiivivi > xv

it probably doesnt go that far

[hasty anvil]

the 1+2... clue to 15 to xv makes sense to me personally

maybe it's wrong

[acoustic canyon]

so if were working off the 5 truths being 5 ciphers then maybe the numbers from the 5 ciphers add up to 15?

[pure loom]

If we swapped them around EGGGOLD looks cool - it would also give us 36660450(or550 or just LD) - 666 has been a previous clue

[unique spruce]

i also see we have many many clues to 6 and element 6 is carbon

but i dont see how that links to gold egg (carbon)

leggo my eggold

2s2 2p2

[acoustic canyon]

if we want to link 666 back to an element, phosphorous' latin name is lucifer

[pure loom]

Plus this possible link to 666: #easter-eggs message

[acoustic canyon]

thats what we originally linked phosphorous to

[unique spruce]

carbon can bond to gold to form compounds known as aurides.

[hasty anvil]

Could this be diamond clue related? as it hasn't been eyed yet

[unique spruce]

this is more to bring some humor to our corner: Brand's process originally involved letting urine stand for days until it gave off a terrible smell. Then he boiled it down to a paste, heated this paste to a high temperature, and led the vapours through water, where he hoped they would condense to gold. Instead, he obtained a white, waxy substance that glowed in the dark. Brand had discovered phosphorus. Specifically, Brand produced ammonium sodium hydrogen phosphate, (NH
4)NaHPO
4. While the quantities were essentially correct (it took about 1,100 litres [290 US gal] of urine to make about 60 g of phosphorus), it was unnecessary to allow the urine to rot first. Later scientists discovered that fresh urine yielded the same amount of phosphorus

has anyone identified what this chemical structure is of

[restive comet]

gimme a bit im ok at chem

i might be able to

can someone count up the atoms

looks like the porphine ring

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

at least in the middle

[unique spruce]

its mirrored

[restive comet]

its still the same shape in the middle MOSTLY

[unique spruce]

^ fixed

[restive comet]

only difference i see is the place of the ammonia

which still makes sense because in the diagrams i see the nitrogen are still the only double bonded of the initial ring

[unique spruce]

it was flipped vertically, not horizontally, so THIS is the right way:

ehh still

[restive comet]

its still teh same

[unique spruce]

not 100%

[restive comet]

lmfao

can you count the hydrogen and carbon rq

i got it nvm

[unique spruce]

i dont know what id be counting tbh, been many years since i do any sort of chemistry

[restive comet]

actively attempting to pursue chemistry

DL

D:

[unique spruce]

i do like the study but not to pursue it myself

[wooden vale]

This is complicated

I thought it be like oh look at this logo it’s something else

This is commitment

[restive comet]

its pretty accurate but i still would need the name of teh molecule

[restive comet]

@unique spruce whats the name of the first image

or link wwtv

[wooden vale]

Did you ever figure out the password thing

[restive comet]

i got the molecule

99% sure

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

the worry is that the structure isnt an exact match

[wooden vale]

It’s close

[restive comet]

but aside from the ammonia(?) on teh center ring of the porphyrin ring its an exact match

provided that the long nitrogen and the NH (ammonia?) swapped the image would look exactly the same

although ammonia is NH3

so

[wooden vale]

This is all you I can’t remember anything about chemistry

[restive comet]

im stupid its HNC2

HC2N?

idk maybe im stupid

[unborn pilot]

that's what they got a while back too and it led to the egg shell pigment

[wooden vale]

Oh yeah that’s it

No never mind

[restive comet]

omg i did all that for it to be the pigment of eggs

cool

i found the right cmpound at least

[unborn pilot]

still good job

yipee

R.Cade told me good job guys i think im gonna die

[unborn pilot]

it's not always easy to search for via a picture, but i rememberd it. here's the padlet with the rest https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1e-ohsl9b4w3ncqnvqe

[restive comet]

😐

fun

ofc flex4d did it alr

its sad that it hasnt been eyeballed tho

D:

[pure loom]

@fallen jasper hey, it's probably worth just combining Tier 2ABC and DEF into one on the padlet eh? Seeing as all the info is just in the ABC one?

[unique spruce]

its from this #easter-eggs message

[hard current]

love this idea

[pure loom]

EAUGG -> 37966... hmmm...

[hard current]

I ran this thought process a LONG time ago, thought of

vieviviold
egoldgg
eggoldeng

so on, but I didn’t think about it like you guys are now

[pure loom]

mix em up

[fallen jasper]

Uhhhhh yeah I can see if I can do something like that

I will say the password is probably going to be very simple

I’m probably gonna feel bad about myself for weeks after

[pure loom]

most disappointing gif ever

[fallen jasper]

We spent like 6 weeks circling around viteus or whatever it's called

We're absolutely gonnanfind out that we were circling around smallegg for 2 months

[pure loom]

that will suit us

[hard current]

we’ve spent 6 weeks with… tbh we keep circling as well but I can’t ever tell if the circles are getting smaller

[pure loom]

I think they have been smaller today. They looked pretty big for a while

[hard current]

the problem is in this tier because it’s simply
step 1 -> password
and not multiple confirmed steps, it’s tough to figure out where to even jump

[fallen jasper]

tbf I'm like 90% sure we've already said the answer somewhere

[pure loom]

yeah, it's like having had a year of wax-on, wax-off

[fallen jasper]

Circling around the drain as it were

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/fighting-stance-ralph-macchio-daniel-la-russo-cobra-kai-posing-gif-18553710

and now we're here

[hard current]

https://tenor.com/view/filthy-frank-know-your-place-implicit-gif-26537479

I’ll keep thinking on it at work tomorrow (as I have nonstop)

but I like the stuff I read in here tonight

[twin hatch]

today felt pretty good like we were actually getting really close. But yeah the last couple weeks felt like the circle had been big.

[quaint wing]

Everyone has their own perspectives on this. I love seeing all the things you guys are coming up with. I'd help more if Tarkov didn't engulf my life. I look forward to seeing how close to the drain we've been this whole time.

[hard current]

so far every time it seems to shrink we eventually have to spin back out again, maybe it’ll be different this time:)

[pure loom]

Yeah, I reckon it's close with GOLDEGG or GOLDENEGG or some version of that

[twin hatch]

yeah there were some good convos earlier with the breakdown possibilities of goldenegg

[unique spruce]

wait. if EOY > OYE was eyed

GOLDENEGG > OLDENEGGG?

vivivi at the end, 666

[hard current]

maybe, give it a shot

[twin hatch]

oh shit try that

[unique spruce]

in game atm

[twin hatch]

yeah what if it is reversed this whole time??

[unique spruce]

0ldiiiniiivivivi

someone try

[hard current]

goldenegg
gold en egg
ggenedlog

[terse saffron]

Nop

[hard current]

g gened log

[terse saffron]

Could be that it needs to be shifted every 3

GOLDENEGG -> OLGENDGEG

[hard current]

it’s clearly supposed to be goldeneye and not goldenegg guys 💦

[terse saffron]

0lviiiindviiiivi?

Nope

[pure loom]

also remember it probably has Latin in it

[hard current]

you know what else is white, oval shaped, and has a “yolk” in the middle

[terse saffron]

Kidneys lookin

[hard current]

an eye

there I said it

[terse saffron]

Clearly the password relates to the 1997 classic, GoldenEye 007

[hard current]

we’ve solved it!

https://tenor.com/view/sad-lonely-unhappy-emotional-fuck-gif-17931766

[terse saffron]

Cooking up something special with this one

[unique spruce]

0 looks like an egg

[pulsar mason]

Perhaps it’s further along, instead of Gold EnEgg, it’s EnEgg Gold meaning inside a golden egg

[restive comet]

Doesn’t it relate to Latin or something too tho

[pulsar mason]

Yes, that’s what the En relates to.

[restive comet]

I see

And what abt space

G0ldEn3gg

But if g = 6 does that mean it’s shifted or that it should be like 0ldEn3666

Something like the with a shift

[pulsar mason]

Idk if shifting this to be EnEgg Gold makes sense, feels like a reach. I’m gonna keep working on Gold EnEgg and see where I get

[restive comet]

Gold in egg

Eggold

😭

[unique spruce]

search for egg latin in this channel and look at the crazy shit i tried

[restive comet]

Guys is we spam similar things for the next 2 days straight we MIGHT get close

And maybe rob will feel bad

I’m gonna list out things I’m gonna try based around golden egg even tho there is a channel with things true

Tried

G0ld3n3gg

old3n3ggg

ggold3n3g

[unique spruce]

^^^ everyone read this lol

[restive comet]

😭

[pulsar mason]

I refuse to accept this as a possibility, if rob made the password related to egg Latin I’m uninstalling The Finals

[unique spruce]

lmao

[terse saffron]

EGG LATIN

Yeah look

I might just howtobasic this one if it's egg latin

[unique spruce]

maybe goldenegg latin

[restive comet]

Rob’s going to have his life support uninstalled 40 years from now if that’s really it

goldEnegg

Do caps matter?

[unique spruce]

all lowercase

[pulsar mason]

Lowercase only

[unique spruce]

no spaces

[restive comet]

Wait then why does the En matter

[unique spruce]

patch notes

oh capital e no

all lowercase

[restive comet]

Wdym patch notes

I’m missing something

[gaunt iris]

🤣

[pulsar mason]

@restive comet read this

[restive comet]

e666old3n

Would that mean that maybe it’s a gold thing (yolk?) inside of an egg in this photo

[pulsar mason]

Adding onto this, Vitellus is Latin for yolk. If we split it up, we have VI and Tellus. Tellus is Latin for earth, maybe we have 6 and earth? That gives us space, gold, egg, Latin, and numerals

[unique spruce]

i see some weird shit looking at this more closely now

2 faces looking at each other

as a whole i see like an xray showing a backbone and lungs

this was on vegas on the backside of a big electrical locker

[pulsar mason]

This just looks like a melee texture. You sure someone didn’t just punch a wall?

[river flame]

My guess as how we might solve this

[rich grove]

anyone know why theres a waving flag next to this lantern on monaco? seems to be the monaco flag but it seems weirdly out of place

[twin hatch]

This was from yesterday. I know its not a lantern persay but might be close enough. These rock formations kinda go on the outskirts of Monaco I think. i thought just this detail alone was kinda odd to have
#easter-eggs message

patch notes page has the lettering in this order: olngggeed

[twin hatch]

most recent patch notes?

[unique spruce]

no, 1.2.0, letters bolded throughout: https://www.reachthefinals.com/patch-notes-1

been known for a while and it spells out goldenegg but i wanted to get the original order of the letters

[vast scroll]

Does the egg yolk itself have meaning behind it

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message rob once mentioned dragons

gold in many different languages

golden egg in burmese: ရွှေဥ

[unborn pilot]

the 3 g's and 2 e's in order can't be accident. using the keys we have that's "0 ln 666 33 d"

[unique spruce]

frustrating af im at a loss lol

[unborn pilot]

my head's been spinning for months.

the 3 6s seem important for whatever reason even once we solved viold+evivi

[pulsar mason]

Once again this has egg inside of golden, except written backwards and golden mixed up

[orchid quest]

was the goose story a dead end

[unique spruce]

no eyes at all

[unborn pilot]

yeah backwards its even clearer there. de/egg/gnlo so maybe there's something

[unique spruce]

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

born in Egg an der Sihl. often uses an egg to help describe the elements. In his early model, he claimed that air surrounded the world like an egg shell.

this stuff branches out in so many possible directions

and one can make links out of any of it

Paracelsus is the main character of Jorge Luis Borges's short story "La rosa de Paracelso" (anthologized in Shakespeare's Memory, 1983)

[pulsar mason]

Too vague, I think the password is still golden egg just encoded a certain way

[unique spruce]

Sulphuric acid ( H 2 SO 4 ) is known as the “King of Chemicals.” gold, royalty, king,

[unborn pilot]

his portrait looks like he's about to murder someone from behind. must be a light class

[unique spruce]

lmao

[fresh quiver]

another theory about 666/ggg
EOY > OYE
Take the first letter and put it in the back of the word?
oldeneggg?

[orchid quest]

in harry potter there was a golden egg

[orchid quest]

something talk about dragons after

[orchid quest]

https://youtu.be/4o_ZibBPvLg?si=oIMurkbxOv-vp1Hw

probably nah

but idk any other cases of GOLDEN EGG

[fresh quiver]

no clue ever pointed to Harry Potter iirc

[pulsar mason]

Yep, or EnEggGold

[orchid quest]

any confirmed connections with golden egg other than latin

[velvet narwhal]

We didn't solve while i was asleep. The dream is turning into a nightmare

[velvet narwhal]

Here is everything we have confirmed with some theories: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1194001777452929154

[fresh quiver]

G=6

goldenegg from the patchnotes

Maybe rob will eye something in L2 T3 facts

[unique spruce]

What do you get when you combine gold and egg. Bout tree fiddy

[unborn pilot]

Since we’re on the topic of "golden". Should point out that Rob mentioned the final tier along with golden during T1D.
#easter-eggs message
“there are there are 8 “golden clues” so far in total that leads directly to the final tier of Level 2 - The Promise.”

[rich grove]

just realized there are dozens of lights across the map with monaco crests/flags. maybe 10% of the lights seem have it

[pulsar mason]

The Monaco map has Monaco flags?

[coarse dagger]

Just want to point out Rob's past response to me when I pointed out g=6, e=3, and o=0 didn't seem to be consistent throughout the whole level:

#easter-eggs message

You are correct, it’s been a common theme in clues, communication and hidden information for this entire level… but 0FC you have not found all of the clues and hidden messages (perhaps you found around 60-70% of all the clues provided)… but again you have all the information you need to crack this.!

[rich grove]

the vertical one on the left is the current flag (red/white), the one on the left is the old coat of arms

[coarse dagger]

Seem to be confirming that he considers them to be consistent.

[pulsar mason]

What did the 0 in 0FC refer to?

[rich grove]

surface level- "of course" but the o becomes 0

[coarse dagger]

I like @unborn pilot 's interpretation of 0FC

0 -> o
F -> 6th letter of alphabet -> 6 -> G
C -> 3rd letter of the alphabet -> 3 -> e

Aka: o0, e3, g6

[pulsar mason]

That's brilliant

[coarse dagger]

This is also supported by Rob eyeing F=6

F=6 eyed here:
#easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, @unborn pilot is our brillant numbers guy!

[velvet narwhal]

I removed o=0 from the unconfirmed themes. I'm keeping the others in there, cause we don't have 100% confirmation for them. But this doesnt mean that we shouldnt try passwords with them. https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1194001777452929154

If you think otherwise i can still remove them

[coarse dagger]

@unborn pilot Just realized the 635px vertical dimension of the _qes and _tion images can be interpreted as egg (mirrored):

6 -> g
3 -> e
5 -> 5th letter of the alphabet -> e

[coarse dagger]

👆 Back to mirroring being a strong clue as you mentioned.

If we think of ways we can mirror the other 1149px dimension of the image as well 9 -> g is pretty obvious. Can we get to "old" from 114 somehow?

[pulsar mason]

4 = d

[coarse dagger]

That would be in the wrong place if we're mirroring wholesale, but possible

Could be scrambled

[coarse dagger]

No, community managers have no clues to give for the hunt

[sharp flame]

Never should have posted that 😭

[timid solstice]

Yeah 6ish

Why you confuse us

[velvet narwhal]

CMs work from home right? Otherwise we could try bribing them to bribe rob with a donut or something else at the office.

[unborn pilot]

That’s funny. I was looking at the 1149 earlier and realized 49 decimal is 1 in ascii so maybe it’s 111 or iii or 3

Also interestingly @coarse dagger all the A-E website images have “THE_FINALS…” as the name. Long with lots of caps. Also all proper aspect ratios

Then after that it just goes all lower case, different titles, sizes, etc

[fringe verge]

d

[granite hinge]

Wtf

[fresh quiver]

the only thing i remember for "ol/o1" would be this i found 2 days ago in one of our images.. But possible just a hole and randomness again

but this kinda does not look random at all.

[coarse dagger]

UMM TAROT IS A GREAT THOUGHT:

g=6=VI -> The Lovers

Iseult
THE_FINALS_CB2_Couple.png
Eros (and Psyche) -> Germless Egg and Golden wings
Van Morrison song title The Way Young Lovers Do
o=0 -> The Fool
Fool's Parsley
Pyrite AKA Fools Gold
Robatama as the Joker in the trailer
Van Morrison song title Fool For You
(#easter-eggs message)

l

???
d
???

e=3=iii ->The Empress

VRI -> Victoria Regina et Imperatrix - Victoria, Queen and Empress
Mary mother of Jesus
Eta Cass
White Rabbit -> Alice In Wonderland-> Red/White Queen
"007": destined for her majesty's eyes only
Van Morrison song title Queen of the Slipstream
g -> see above
g -> see above

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
0FC
o=0/g=6=vi/e=3=iii
0 The Fool
VI The Lovers
III The Empress

We already had e=3=iii from cacoiii, that's why T2 gave us g=6=vi!

[pulsar mason]

Holy shit

[coarse dagger]

Rob's 0FC messages might be telling us the order to use them in T3?
