From @small onyx

We have found this before, worth checking out the wiki and the packet for more

Oooooooh, alrighty. Will definitely check them out! Thanks!

[daring bluff]

have we tried searching the game’s intro for clues?

https://youtu.be/I78YyPF2xUg?si=0DEMbt0PcmFu2zAe

might need a higher quality version

[timid solstice]

Perhaps we need to expand our passwords

The path notes made us think golden

Maybe we need to try
golden eggs

The tiers have led to
4 golden eggs

[velvet narwhal]

I've been thinking about this. It could be that you can only hear the bells at the beginning of the match.
The map time i always a full hour. When the map starts its probably that time.

In Christianity, some churches ring their church bells from belltowers three times a day, at 9 am, 12 pm and 3 pm to summon the Christian faithful to recite the Lord's Prayer;
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_bell
Do these times exist on monaco?

[fresh quiver]

say that the church near me that rings the bells once a hour (and as many rings as the time is rn)

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah my church also rings almost every hour...

[fresh quiver]

sounds like a german church for me 😂

[true mirage]

did anyone get anything on the blood moon in skyway stadium?

[unborn ledge]

Something about "light a candle" and "a walk in the park".

"Hot-Handed" (flaming balls emote) description says - "Send a signal that your game is on fire". Sounds like the emote could be sending some kind of a signal. Clearly I would need a dark place to check this so I went to the darkest place in the park and stood next to the black wall. When I emoted I could see the reflection of flames blinking weirdly, almost like it was signaling a morse code.

https://streamable.com/0zux2n

[pulsar mason]

Try the same emote when not in the dark and see if the reflection does the same thing

Might just be the shaders so worth checking

Also try using different graphic settings too. Switch between ultra and low

[sand girder]

Has anyone noticed the slowly pulsing red dot on Seoul?

[pulsar mason]

Yep

Likely warning lights for aircraft

[unborn ledge]

In the "Lost Marbles Set" there is a sticker called "Busted not broken" (For contestants who can take a lot of damage.)
The sticker https://imgur.com/a/TqV1WFQ is clearly connected to this art piece https://trashdna.com/products/david-bowie
There is a full movie B.U.S.T.E.D (1999) with David Bowie on YT. Also if I open the IMDB link of "B.U.S.T.E.D" on Google the name gets changed to "Everybody Loves Sunshine".

to be continued....

So today I read some random article (has been posted here before too) that sounded too good to be a coincidence, it had some very specific words and names that I had seen before. It talked about THE (eggs) PROMISE and revealed that hope is the secret promise of the egg. As the webpage looked very generic, almost like AI generated, it made me even more curious. So I decided to go to the same article on the wayback machine, furthest I could go was like 2010-2011. This time there were a few suggested articles on the side. First was "How to Let Go of Past Loves" so I instantly thought about the battlepass tier with the bride and it's breakup theme. Second was "Prayers for Jobs and Money" and my thought was - this game is all about money. That was too much for all this information to be in the same place so I clicked to learn some prayers. The second sentence hit me right in the face. Even the worst of times, it is important to remember there is always a ray of hope.
GOLD=SUN=RAY - There are some items in game and one even says "for contestants who plan to be a ray of sunshine to our fans". Now I see this movie "B.U.S.T.E.D" is also called "Everybody Loves Sunshine" and there is a gang leader Ray.
EGG=THE PROMISE=HOPE
The article also mentions "Post tenebras spero lucem" - "After the darkness, I hope for the light." - We have black swan and white swan, black background "?" and white background "?"
If the solution has nothing to do with a RAY OF HOPE then the ray of hope has nothing to do with me and I'm going to call a psychiatrist.
(i can point out all the things that caught my eye later, too tired and expressing myself in english takes a lot of time)

[plush dune]

[spiral flower]

I think rob saying we have all the clues we need is all we need to know

[plush dune]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-always-sunny-gif-26054360

[plush dune]

I think it also means the answer is probably in plain sight and we're likely looking waaay too deep into it atm

[spiral flower]

My thinking is that g=6=vi

Egg in Latin/Roman numerals has been used as x before

Seeing how the ques tion has bee layed out it seems like there might be a grammatical break within the password could the gramatical break be an x?

Seeing as how rob keeps being up 666 I’m curious if the password is something similar to vivivi

[sharp flame]

Ooooh nice

[paper prism]

deviled eggs ?

[plush dune]

fuck

[spiral flower]

Dusty do be callin us yolks

[plush dune]

Wheres that one image of Nama Tama with the lil horns

or am I crazy

[spiral flower]

I mean anything will help

[plush dune]

I have it I just need to find it in my files

[spiral flower]

Vivivi0vi

Deviled egg

I believe I tried it last night

[plush dune]

lemme get photoshop up rq

[paper prism]

vi but 6 times ?

vivivivivivi

I bet deviled eggs is something lol XD

[fallen jasper]

have we ever tried to look at the sky from the game maps on the same order as the message says?
also hi im new

[plush dune]

I cant find anything standing out, through all the adjustments and tools available to me I got nothing

666, deviled eggs, philospher's stone

Rob teased us referencing descriptions from the urban operative set so theres something deriving from that we're missing

I'll think about it after work

[supple tundra]

Nothin here lol

[wet locust]

Ay somebody posted a message in main chat saying something about changing the main menu to greyscale, anyone know what that means

Don't even know if there were more steps cuz the message got nuked lol

[supple tundra]

They deleted it as soon as they posted and said they cracked something to early ..

[wet locust]

Ohhhh they deleted it? Fair enough, imma be patient then

[supple tundra]

I seen it happen

So did another few

[wet locust]

Yeah but I thought a mod deleted it

[supple tundra]

They did

[wet locust]

What

[supple tundra]

Or some one

Who else can??

[nocturne furnace]

So whats this all about? No info in pins

[wet locust]

By "they" do you mean the poster or the mods

[vague ocean]

it said "LMAO, guys I got the newest Easter egg hunt hint: if you change the finals main menu screenshot to grayscale, up the gamma, reverse it, check the top left pixels and enter them in morse code with brights being ones, lights being long beeps, and black being breaks, it will read out the password"

[wet locust]

Yeah I understand nothing of that lol, I'll just wait for someone else to do it. Honestly I only check this channel every once in a while cuz I don't get ANYTHING egg hunters type

[limpid yarrow]

how would the game know you greyscaled it

[vague ocean]

idk, that's just the message

[wet locust]

?? The game doesn't know. It doesn't need to know

It literally says "screenshot"

[limpid yarrow]

yeah i miss read it as read it out being an audio que

[wet locust]

Bruh

Ngl that gave me a chuckle

[limpid yarrow]

i mean you can also grey scale it with gefore expireance

[limpid yarrow]

also dyslexic so i kinda have to read it a few times before some stuff clicks in

[limpid escarp]

how would we know to greyscale the main menu tho? or is that sm that we were just supposed to do

[limpid yarrow]

idk

maybe this

since we start in the menu

[wise stone]

The point of easter eggs are to be hidden, sometimes theyre hidden better than other things.

anyways someone get back to me if we figure out whether or not this dude was trolling.

[limpid escarp]

ooh thats smart

[limpid escarp]

oh alright. i just wouldnt want to discover something right now that we are supposed to find later on.

[wise stone]

Sometimes it happens. In any case, until someone comes back here with a grayscaled main menu, I'll hold my breath and assume whoever typed that is having a laugh at our expense.

[limpid escarp]

yeah it seems like a very specific thing to randomly discover

[limpid yarrow]

i feel like it is a troll

i threw it into a steg tool and it only shows npise around the numbers in the corner

also if they found someything why didnt they jot down the morse code

[limpid escarp]

true

[limpid yarrow]

if anything would white and black signify binary rather then morse code

[wise stone]

You can try to decipher it but again, I wouldnt get your hopes up.

[spiral flower]

What was the most recent namatama sent to us

[tough hinge]

Hehehe

[fresh quiver]

#official-art message
Probably this maybe

[unkempt topaz]

There is some odd letters in the bottom right of the plan the egg holds

[tough hinge]

No

[spiral flower]

Fellas, what if ques tion and it being broke apart means a break

Like literally a cracked egg

Golden cracked egg

[limpid escarp]

i mean yeah could be, i guess the focus has been on a broken apart answer to a broken apart question, but a broken apart answer could be an actual broken thing instead of a word thats broken apart

[limpid yarrow]

rob has hited at combining

hinted

[limpid escarp]

i assume that the dot on the left on the egg and the three lines on the right have been analysed somewhat?

[spiral flower]

What 5 things have been true throughout this entire level

[unique spruce]

pain, misery, suffering, depression, and anger

[limpid escarp]

yeah

[spiral flower]

That was a genuine question just curious if we’ve found the answer to that riddle

[limpid escarp]

what if its the five rules

probably not

the five white rabbits?

[spiral flower]

No I think the answer could be the correlation between each truth

[limpid escarp]

has anyone else noticed that the lightning bolt on the power generator in the park in the practice range is flipped?

there are two, but one is mirrored

[unique spruce]

i dont see why f=6 would be relevant if f isn't in the password

f=6 got eyes, so that means it must be in it?

i keep revisiting my past idea about reflecting the password

^!0lq!!!u!!!^!^!

[hasty anvil]

i'm not sure if f=6 was just to indicate how close it was to g=6, or if it's a seperate thing. I wish we could get confirmation on that

[unique spruce]

goldenegg = 76 if we add the numerical value of the letters. oddly close to 79 but its not 79

[hasty anvil]

That means it's missing C

but nothing links to C lol

[unique spruce]

carbon buuuut yea

[hasty anvil]

maybe

or the theme of threes

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)
Rob said this was a beautiful list in the past, and that it's missing something. and also OYE with it.

Another Rob message was '3-400', which is -397, fish found this about 397 too

[misty matrix]

0vif0rm and vit3llus also contain the roman number VI, not sure if this is revelevant

[unique spruce]

gold, egg, space, latin were all reacted to, correct? is it right to assume those are 4 of the 5 truths?

[hasty anvil]

I guess so, if space wasn't involved, I doubt Rob would eye that message

[unique spruce]

@misty matrix they do but they were not converted from an actual numerical value, they are just spelled that way. but yes, I've considered the possibility of us having to work "backwards" somehow and convert vi back to g

[hasty anvil]

Also the stars clues he has been giving us

[unique spruce]

right, so im wondering what combining all of those things would give us right now. im thinking: galaxy, universe....

[limpid escarp]

there was some talk about "devil" yesterday in an earlier password. dunno how that came up but that contains vi

[unique spruce]

or in the case of latin: galaxy: via lactea

[hasty anvil]

We are gonna end up back at Saturn and the Sun haha

Or the start? the big bang?

[unique spruce]

yea that was me. the letters in viold evivi can be arranged to spell evil or devil

[unique spruce]

I've had a theory that gold = sun, egg = moon

let me find that page again a sec

[hasty anvil]

Also, lighting a candle might mean 'to pray'

[unique spruce]

https://www.tokenrock.com/harmonic-nature/divine-egg/

[rocky crag]

So I have looked in every corner of every map and i have not seen a single megalodon
Basically unplayable at this stage

[unique spruce]

lol

we dont have a water themed map yet

💡 💡 💡 💡 💡 just a hint at what we want, devs!

[fresh quiver]

f=6 is relevant in a kind of way.
t1-f
t1-f-1

t1-F-1
F-1 = 5

g=6

also through substitutions we would have e=4
as combind would mean combine. the e of combine is missing. the d would be a 4.
e=4

[unique spruce]

the finals in an underwater atlantis

[hasty anvil]

How can we pray, or light a candle in the practise range. I feel like we've hit a dead end with that.

[rocky crag]

Sand Megaladons?

[fresh quiver]

just still feeling right about the emotes

[rocky crag]

Like the movie tremors but with big sharks

[unique spruce]

i need to sit and stare at this for 5 mins in thought

[limpid escarp]

we also light candles at graves though, maybe the roses could be connected to that?

[fresh quiver]

bit dumb explained. im trying to find the passage from yesterday where we talked about it

[limpid escarp]

the roses in the practice range, that is

[hasty anvil]

Roses and the clue for this tier aren't connected sadly

[limpid escarp]

dang

[hasty anvil]

the roses are a seperate thing

[fresh quiver]

@unique spruce think this would be a lit easier to understand then just my short form of it
#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

The emotes/equipment I feel is the only thing left, we've all hard searched the range

[unique spruce]

goldenegg > fnkcdmdff

[hasty anvil]

solved. haha

[fresh quiver]

password wrong. please try again 😄

also we dont know where the shift needed to be used.

[unique spruce]

combind implies e=d, so e=4, f=5, etc, i see it

[small void]

Goldenegg is the name of the first palestinian astronaut how does everybody miss that??!!!

[hard forge]

I thought you just solved it and rushed to the password tfee website.

[fresh quiver]

this^

[limpid escarp]

in the 2 cute 2 dial there is a chance of someone answering the phone and saying "yes, hello?" in swedish. probably nothing but a bit fun

[unique spruce]

goldenegg = 67 instead of 76 if we use a=0, b=1, etc

its mirrored

[fresh quiver]

can you explain it further?

[fresh quiver]

"a" must be 0 or 26 😄

[unique spruce]

goldenegg > egggolden

36660ld3n

[hasty anvil]

I looked through all emotes, stickers, etc. Nothing really related to praying, candles or anything that stood out to me

[unique spruce]

iiivivivi0ldiiin

iiivivivioldiiin

nothing

[hard forge]

most probably a troll. Ignore.

[fresh quiver]

this is the reason im asking 😉
because cant find any good sources for that.

[unique spruce]

well wait.. e wouldnt be 3 anymore, right?

goldenegg = 6 14 11 3 4 13 4 6 6

[hard forge]

If you think about it, Goo + Pyro can make a candle.

[limpid escarp]

there are candles in the church

that you can pick up

[fresh quiver]

there is no curch on the training range 😅

[limpid escarp]

oh the practice range only? woops

sorry

[unique spruce]

6 14 11 3 4 13 4 6 6 > vi xiv xi iii iv xiii iv vi vi

vixivxiiiiivxiiiivvivi

[hasty anvil]

We've been led to practise range, but a few of us have tried using Monaco candles and nothings happened yet

[fresh quiver]

i really need to recheck monaco maybe with a candle if it would work something

right of the mid of the crosshair. why does this look oval? 😅

[unique spruce]

deambulatio in parco

[hasty anvil]

We definitely have g=6 this tier from the barcode, We have o=0 from OFC and 0FC, we have goldenegg from patch notes.
As minimum we have goldenegg -> 6oldene66 -> 60ldene66. Also connects with 666 clue.

[unique spruce]

🤷‍♂️ have to see if it sticks lol

[hasty anvil]

walk to it? haha

[fresh quiver]

thats the problem 😉
out of bounds. outside of the arena wall. would be fun if it would start to light up when a candle would be near

[unique spruce]

i was wondering if theres a certain position we have to stand in and look 'through' multiple assets to see them form a shape

[spiral flower]

Violdenevivi

[hasty anvil]

ohh didn't realise it was out of boundary haha

[fresh quiver]

but you see this "oval"-ish thing too? 😅

[spiral flower]

Roman numeral for 6 has got to me a theme here

Be*

[hasty anvil]

latin / roman numeral needs to be added to this, but where

[turbid tinsel]

I thought g=6 game way before the bar code and from the ob?

[spiral flower]

Violdenevivi

[unique spruce]

well that would just be 6>vi, no?

[fresh quiver]

yes. g=6 was earlier too.

BUT. we needed to have it confirmed that it is being used in T3 aswell

[hasty anvil]

it did, I just mean the clue has been given again for this tier

[unique spruce]

like we already did for gold > viold

[spiral flower]

Vi0ldiiivivi

[hasty anvil]

look in tried passwords we've tried them all

[unique spruce]

yea we've tried many many variations

[fresh quiver]

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

you can check beforehand if the passwords were already tried

[spiral flower]

Yeah just spitballing for brain power

Wonder what’s in the gold egg tho

[hushed beacon]

poach the egg

[turbid tinsel]

See im having a hard time following now, because everyone is pulling stuff from after the game released but everything we needed we already had prior to the games release. And if thats the case is there really stuff added that we hadnt seen prior to release that would help on this tier?

[fresh quiver]

i need to find the spot again ._.

[unique spruce]

6 old deviled eggs

[fresh quiver]

there is stuff ingame that could help us yes.
we dont need it. but its there

[unique spruce]

a half dozen eggs. thats the answer. 6 eggs

[fresh quiver]

sorry. my bad. we need it... we need the clue ingame. we are kind of stuck 😂

[hasty anvil]

g=6 came from an image in game announcements, goldenegg came from patch notes, and there's 1 thing in game that will help us if we need it. aside from that nothing has been pulled from in game

[unique spruce]

oh, back to the moon + sun topic

moon + sun (in line) gives us blood moon, which we do see in game as a possible clue

egg + gold = moon + sun

lunar eclipse

jun 26 2029 is the lunar eclipse in 2029 (ce2029)

[spiral flower]

Let em cook

[limpid escarp]

june is the sixth month, too

[unique spruce]

yes

and

20209.5

june is halfway into 2029

[fresh quiver]

holtow sticker again.

just reminding of being cautious as it is probably another EE or else

[hasty anvil]

That's interesting

[unique spruce]

thats true, it could be separate and part of the next level

since the next level is supposed to be where we start in game stuff

BUT

20209.5 was even in the beta

right?

[hasty anvil]

See if it gets eyes and maybe we need it in the future

[spiral flower]

We need to hire a puzzle professor 😂😂

Was the last eyed message open your eyes?

[fresh quiver]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=2008758139

[spiral flower]

Yeah I saw that wasn’t sure if it had been updated recently or not

[hasty anvil]

The docs was last checked 1.10, the practise range message I think was last eyed

[fresh quiver]

noone put it in the doc 😦

the 2-3 eyes that rob did are not in it

[unique spruce]

my nostrils are flaring rn. it means the solution is gonna hit me any minute

[hasty anvil]

what's the recent eyes just practise range? Someone has a script to check eyes so I haven't added it in case it messes up

[hushed beacon]

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

2 of the most recents ones of 12.january 2024

[unique spruce]

roses arent relevent to this level iirc

[hasty anvil]

Yeah this reason

[unique spruce]

nor the EE hunt at all, but maybe a separate EE

At the new and full moon, the Sun and Moon are in syzygy

This term is used to describe the alignment of three celestial bodies, such as the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon, in a straight line

[fresh quiver]

anyone found the next date when sun, earth and Saturn would be in a straight line?

[spiral flower]

Rob said he’s typed the password in for a couple days (around the 11-15) range to make sure he put in the right password, which leads me to believe someone actually already got the answer and either mistyped it OR was so close yet so far away

[fresh quiver]

it implied for some of us that it might me latin or else where you have a big chance to get a character wrong

[hasty anvil]

yep, he said we were close, but not too close, so we don't need new theories

[unique spruce]

hold up

rob teased part of the image we would get and it was a sky

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message here. Said around this attempt: #1175206999802249307 message

[unique spruce]

the gold half of the egg shell is the sky

[spiral flower]

While I don’t think we need new theories it could also help to have people looking at it from a different perspective(ie using wrong equation but getting right answer) I don’t think we need like 20 different theories but different perspective

[unique spruce]

heaven, sky

caelum

coelum

[hushed beacon]

you could be on to something

#easter-eggs message

[spiral flower]

Fellas what if we’ve been missing love

Namatama literally holding a heart and the images they’ve been uploading on Twitter are the girl doing the heart shape with her hands

Gold egg Latin sky love

[fresh quiver]

how does love fit the with the older passwords?

[spiral flower]

Might be a reach but the only thing I can think of is the fact that the faberge eggs were usually given to the tsars wife (symbolically love)

[spiral flower]

Rob was also saying AND when people were talking about correlations between the answers

[fresh quiver]

yes at is would be truth 1 + truth 2 + truth 3 + truth 4 + truth 5

[spiral flower]

I’m on mobile so I can’t link it but when everyone was saying gold egg Latin AND

[velvet narwhal]

Have added them to the doc

[spiral flower]

Plus he often talks about the play hamlet

[spiral flower]

Yeah I saw that book (it’s actually a very recent release so doesn’t seem like it’s a correlation)

[unique spruce]

origin

[fresh quiver]

probably way toooo recently released.
He planned it about 3 years ago

[unique spruce]

yea

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

in an Orphic theogony he is the offspring of Chronos (Time)

batatama is also pretty symbolic of nyx

havent gotten any reacts to mentions of these gods/goddesses before though

[silver rock]

Did we do any digging when he was talking about hamlet and Ophelia? I know there was the five truths stuff: "Hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths...".

From what I've read I haven't seen anyone look too much further into that but I could be wrong

[velvet narwhal]

Try searching "Five Truths" in this channel.

[hasty anvil]

and shakespeare, i've looked a bit at that

[silver rock]

gotcha, I didn't see much related to it in the docs, forgot to check here too

[velvet narwhal]

In https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1194001777452929154 is pretty good information for this tier

[silver rock]

fantastic

[velvet narwhal]

The best information on specific stuff is in the threads

[hasty anvil]

I can't imagine this hunt before threads now

[spiral flower]

Yeah y’all are crazy for figuring it out

Anyone else stay up the first night they found out about this stuff? Was me last night

[fresh quiver]

not only the first. had a lack of sleep for the first days 😄

[spiral flower]

Could there be 5 sixes in the answer

[fresh quiver]

wouldnt be 5truths i think

[hard forge]

I was solving it even in my dreams the first few weeks.

[spiral flower]

Whew

[coral wing]

I tapped out before the threads, and when they started, it was practically too much for me to hop back in fulltime again

[coral wing]

Love was a biiig aspect of T1D-F

RHB had that topic in a good grasp

[unique spruce]

damn you know.. i had kinda brushed all that aside

[coral wing]

Brushed off the topic of love?

[unique spruce]

yea

[hasty anvil]

there is a thing called romance latin, but I didn't get anywhere with it

[coral wing]

Yeah there was a few big themes we had when i was around a lot more. Love/Romance, the number 3, space

[spiral flower]

I mean the fact one of the most recent pictures we got on Twitter is that girl making the heart shape

And namatama with the heart

From that webpage rob showed us

Like why would he randomly send us that link ya know

[unique spruce]

The Cradle with Garlands egg (also known as the Love Trophies egg)

[coral wing]

This was when? Want to look into more

[spiral flower]

Lemme search brb on mobile

[coral wing]

Youre a legend im on mobile too and didnt dare even try

[unique spruce]

In some cultures, eggs are used as a fertility symbol, and can be linked to love

gold egg love space latin

i got nuffin

[spiral flower]

Yeah I’m having a hard time finding it but it’s the link for the heart namatama

[coral wing]

These are the 5 truths

But to do what with them

[hard forge]

"combind" them with the golden egg to get the password.

[rich grove]

tbh part of the issue is we dont know for sure the 5 truths

only gold+egg+latin

[gloomy anvil]

I'm still hooked on the goose and anser...

[coral wing]

You wouldnt believe space is another?

[unique spruce]

lots of space references

[rich grove]

it could be a number of things, but we dont know for sure and rob hasnt eyed any other suggestions

[fresh quiver]

wefundapage-butwehavenoclue

could batatama be succubus? 😏

Roman numerals could be a truth, but that has most likely already been tried, right?

"Gold gets its English name from the Germanic word gulþa (meaning gold). The Old English word geolu means yellow. In Latin, gold was called aurum. This is why the chemical symbol for gold is Au."

#game-announcements

This is another G=6

[digital fossil]

oh damn

missed that

WUH i forgot i'm uncultured in here

i gotta chat more

[gloomy anvil]

not sure if they're just re-using the same keyart background atm, every trailer for the last 3 months has had G=6.

[digital fossil]

Might be reuse

[marsh dagger]

oh shit new video dropped

time to go frame by frame again

[digital fossil]

Oh what fun

This is so much better than the paint drying on the wall alternative

A LOT of fast scene transitions

[fresh quiver]

VLC frame by frame is my friend right now 😄

[digital fossil]

I can't wait to legally download this completely within youtube's TOS

[fresh quiver]

just download it directly in discord? as it is just a "teaser" 😄

[hard current]

#game-announcements message

NEW VID BABY

[fresh quiver]

already on it 🫶

[gloomy anvil]

solo bank-it will be great for white rabbit hunting

[digital fossil]

Pretty sure they uploaded a lower quality version here to fit with discords file limit

Idk tho

Besides already done it

[fresh quiver]

mp4 file is just 40MB.
with nitro you can do 250 or 500MB video uploads afaik

[digital fossil]

Did they change that?

Swear it was lower once

[paper scroll]

Hi hunters any discoveries yet?

[digital fossil]

Eh who cares

Nexon is at the side

[fresh quiver]

something written on the straps? AA?

or just a design

[digital fossil]

Ill check it

Mmmm

I'm blind

YIPPEE COLORS

Text on the new gun skin someone check that I can't read it well

[paper scroll]

Do the Easter eggs/ ARG hint at the lore of the game? Just curious

[pure loom]

And EE hunting in general

[snow walrus]

a bug or.. what do u think?
https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1988r2k/all_black_room_that_turns_everything_black/

Oh what the hell they used a nuke in the trailer

These devs know how to play their own game??????

the ceiling looks a little bit like a embark sign 😄

[digital fossil]

Need higher def of this

[storm leaf]

new trailer to look at yay :D

[digital fossil]

Is Embark Studios involved in the finals?!??!?!?!??!!

Revelation

[fresh quiver]

yes?

[digital fossil]

This is shocking news to me

[fresh quiver]

its a game from embark

but seems like a joke from you 😄

[digital fossil]

Hmmm

To break the chain of humor or to continue in bliss

The universal question of the funny

[keen ravine]

I feel like something could be hidden in the video at 16sec in

[spiral flower]

2bornot2b

[digital fossil]

It looks like just a screen transition to me

Maybe I'm blind but I'm not seeing anything

[unique spruce]

0:15

[hard current]

@fallen jasper can we get this pinned?:)

[limpid yarrow]

new bar code?

[hard current]

this binary comes to G=6 right?

[keen ravine]

yeah nvm, I think your right

[gloomy anvil]

yeah, at least it appears identical to the others that do

[hasty anvil]

'Our architects latest creation' is an interesting line

maybe what the gamemaker's are called

[limpid yarrow]

probs relates to the blueprint tama

?

[rich grove]

at 4s during the glitch effect there is a single pixel and 2-3 pixel line at the top third and bottom thats intruiging

[velvet narwhal]

Was the end card always this glitchy?

[snow walrus]

it says 1080p to me

[gloomy anvil]

yeah ik I just fixed it

4k now

[fresh quiver]

in one of the last trailers i watched? yes. the 4 different "reach"s? yes

[fresh quiver]

thought it was normal xd

[velvet narwhal]

never really noticed it

[quaint wing]

19 seconds, glasses look like they might have something written on them

Odd to have black specs just sitting in the middle of the glasses. Ya know I had to look through it a little bit

[limpid escarp]

At 12 seconds the big screen says "the bias wre..." and at 14 seconds the tv on the left says something in korean, but that might always be there

[hard current]

the bias wrecker

known sort of mascot for the finals

[storm leaf]

at 24 seconds theres a glitch frame with a row of dots on the screen, 5 dots, a space, then 42 more dots
and under the row of dots, theres .--., which is morse code for "p"

could just be random effects tho

[gloomy anvil]

here?

[quaint wing]

Yup!

[velvet narwhal]

i thought "The bias wrecker" is a slogan by Iseul-t

[quaint wing]

As he turns around you can see it a bit more. That whole little sequence gives me bells

[hard current]

it’s a… kpop group I think?

like a real kpop group irl

[velvet narwhal]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/ISEUL-T It's a clothing line

[velvet narwhal]

Well tomorrow we'll be able to inspect it ingame. Maybe there are differences between ingame and this one.

[fresh quiver]

somebody need to check that again with 4k please

[quaint wing]

If it exists in game.

[fresh quiver]

looks like there is something on the gas container?

[quaint wing]

C4

[fresh quiver]

thats what i meant somebody need to check again in 4k version

[quaint wing]

Which section of the container?

[fresh quiver]

i can somehow atleast see a S maybe?

[marsh dagger]

wait what

new gun ? i didnt see that at all

[unique spruce]

new gun skin

[marsh dagger]

oh

[velvet narwhal]

Looks like a skin for the fcar

[paper scroll]

It is, med chat is going nuts over it.

[hidden nacelle]

digital camo for fcar

[unique spruce]

oh its not live yet

[digital fossil]

the scar skin the military guy is holding

it has some text on the sides

near where fire select would be

left side facing stock

i think

[velvet narwhal]

Probably tomorrow

[paper scroll]

Nuts I mean absolutely feral then talking about AI morality.

Curious have any of yall hunters check the audio files like noise levels and stuff? I do know some args implement audio waves (such as the shapes of the waves) as hints

[snow walrus]

can be any specific military/country camo?

[keen ravine]

12sec in flamingoes and ducks in the background this that new to the map?

[paper scroll]

For Morocco I don't think so. It's my fave map

[keen ravine]

got ya oki 👍

[paper scroll]

I'll check tonight when im off work if I'm lucky

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah they've been floating over Monaco since the beginning

[keen ravine]

okay thank you

[limpid escarp]

The bigger kind of jump pads do seem to have a kind of pattern in the low hz's, but I don't really know how to look at audio waves and such

[fresh quiver]

left side almost looks like music notes or smth else

[silver rock]

I was just about to mention

I think one more frame forward, you can see it in a bit more detail

[hard current]

hehe

[storm leaf]

beautiful ballerina

[silver rock]

yeah that's what I was looking at a bit

[fresh quiver]

also there is a part with a different red tone. and looks a little bit like a text or something

[velvet narwhal]

A spectograph image of the whole teaser

[keen ravine]

:o

[storm leaf]

i was looking at it too but nothing seems to jump out

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah i also didn't really find anything, but maybe someone else sees something.

[rich grove]

patterns appear on "new outfits"

oop- the pattern changes again on last frame

the bottom row of artifacts dissapears

more artifacts

[turbid tinsel]

this image has started appearing beneath the ring a few times now

dissapears a few frames after

[limpid escarp]

at 26 seconds there kinda appears to be text behind the the finals logo

white and bent

[rich grove]

possible clue to the distortions on the rest? grid lines and mirroring

[limpid yarrow]

i might be seeing things but it looks like 666 is in the middle ?

[limpid escarp]

not just 3 6's, there are two of them on either side of the large 666

[gritty cloud]

deviled eggs

[zinc osprey]

I dunno, to me that looks less like 666 and more like another g=6

[limpid escarp]

oh, yeah, it is.

[paper scroll]

Oh my God did I actually helped out with the whole audio thing? 😳

[slate dagger]

hi i just joined! it might be a stupid question but why cant i post images? i might have found some numbers

but you can share the screenshots to regulars here that they can post it for you 🙂

[rich grove]

blue qr code-like pixels at different points in the video

[slate dagger]

at 0:09 in the frame where the "glitch" effect begins

[rich grove]

seemingly lots of emphasis on explosions

[limpid escarp]

yeah there does seem to be some mirrored numbers there i think

[sand girder]

Are they packing or nah? This might have dire implications

[limpid escarp]

this is probably important to the easter egg hunt

[sand girder]

yeah.....

[rich grove]

blue, white, yellow, red. far left is a spray from the s1 battlepass

[fresh quiver]

from @slate dagger

[turbid tinsel]

has what appears to be the finals logo in this frame as well but then gone the next

[fresh quiver]

are the numbers on every FCAR?

[limpid escarp]

Yeah, unfortunately

[paper scroll]

654?

[limpid escarp]

yup

[turbid tinsel]

also there is another "kaleidoscope" effect in the top right. there was a few in the release trailer as well and not sure if its an EE or not.

[paper scroll]

Ee?

[turbid tinsel]

possible 6 in the smoke

[turbid tinsel]

easter egg

[paper scroll]

Oh duh my bad

[pulsar mason]

Seems like a reach

[sand girder]

thats like 80% of this channel lmaooo

[paper scroll]

I mean it's on par with the deviled egg thing

[fresh quiver]

let me check if i also have that as image

made 108 screenshots out of VLC of the video

[pulsar mason]

Incredible

[paper scroll]

I been meaning to ask does the Easter egg hunt reveal anything about the lore in the game?

[pulsar mason]

Yeah it’s tied into the lore

[fresh quiver]

will share the link when uploaded if you want

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

For extracting frames

[fresh quiver]

did it with VLC. as it also has a frame by frame and screencap of the video option

but if someone wants, i could upload all frames of the video

[wise stone]

So, do we think the “Architect” is anyone particular?

[limpid escarp]

It would be nice but i think very few ppl will look through them if there are 108 of them

[sand girder]

The creators of the arena / self insert from the devs

[turbid tinsel]

also another "kaleidoscope" effect or mirror effect.

[paper scroll]

Maybe a reach but I'm researching the history of the kaleidoscope idk if there is a connection with the audio graph earlier

[fresh quiver]

Put all screens i made of the video in googledrive.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iXuaQ27qRA5mtViztIFVdJqmGxOh-gND?usp=sharing
maybe someone of you founds more things there 😅

[velvet narwhal]

This is good if you wanna know more about the lore: https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Lore

[paper scroll]

Thank you so much!

Also the whole 666 thing from the audio graph I don't think embark would include religion to the hunt right?

[velvet narwhal]

We already have many 666 connections

[paper scroll]

Oh okay cool, sorry I'm a new hunter and playing catch up 😅

[rich grove]

decentish isolation of a 'noise' overlay. the line of dots and the face thing are repeated in other flashes

[pulsar mason]

I got auto timed out for posting this so I’ve modified it a little haha

The lore tldr is the games are being run virtually by large corporations. A (rebel) group is infiltrating the virtual games trying to reach the contestants and tell them something. That group is called CNS.
My favourite theory right now is that Ospuze is a drink that damages contestants central nervous systems (CNS) with chemicals, keeping them in a zombie like state to enter the games over and over to keep the money rolling in for the sponsors.

[slate dagger]

there is a thing triggering me: why 11 players in the solo mode?

[pulsar mason]

11 other players I thought, 12 total

[fresh quiver]

just realized sometimes back we had a picture named 29a
666 is 29A16

[velvet narwhal]

In the video june says "Where you play against 11 other players"

[slate dagger]

yeah right im stoopid

[fresh quiver]

666 in Latin?

sescenti sexaginta sex

[turbid tinsel]

i posted a few from the release trailer awhile back, was for the soul map that appeared and there was like 2 or 3 images but those were the full screen specifically here in this post #easter-eggs message

[vapid mantle]

might be irrelevant, but did someone translate this sign and check if it says the same thing as on the map?

[limpid escarp]

I tried, but i couldnt really see what it said in the video

[vapid mantle]

aight

same goes for this one

[vapid mantle]

its also mirrored at the bottom so maybe that could lead somewhere

[slate dagger]

wait it seems a bit different

[limpid escarp]

There are a lot of mirrored images, maybe that could mean something

[limpid escarp]

Maybe its just a visibility error, but the characters dont seem to line up at the bottom

[fresh quiver]

chinese letters? i think

you can see it in this picture a little bit better

[limpid escarp]

im pretty sure its korean but i could be wrong

ill try again

[fresh quiver]

with this resolution im not sure myself which language 😄

[limpid escarp]

ill see if its the same text as in the actual map

[limpid yarrow]

It's Korean

[limpid escarp]

The reflections seems to display different text tho

[limpid yarrow]

i think its just reflected cos you can see the upsidedown t shape

the tv might be intresting tho

[rich grove]

possibly not EE, but red+black sword

[limpid escarp]

in the reflection the mountain/tent shape is displayed twice though

[silk quartz]

Maybe this has been said already... there are generators on all the maps (i think)

[limpid escarp]

ill look at the reflection in the map rn tho

[silk quartz]

if u hit them enough they start zapping with electricity

[limpid escarp]

yea

[silk quartz]

Maybe if you activate all of them at once you get a clue or smth

or u do all the maps and then u get the easter egg

[fresh quiver]

is that just a video fragment?

2nd frame

both frames behind eachother.

[pulsar mason]

Check out the Monaco generators thread, on mobile can’t link

[limpid escarp]

the text on the screen is the same as in game

[silk quartz]

its not only monaco, I've seen them on most maps

[zinc osprey]

be a lot easier to check maps for clues if we had customs

[vapid mantle]

anyone know which skin this is?

[hard current]

#1191559098420969542

[pulsar mason]

Yeah we know, it’s what the thread was called originally

[hard current]

urban operator

[rich grove]

'droop' on the N+T, doesnt match the glitch effect

[vapid mantle]

i guess it could be

[silk quartz]

I believe they wont allow custom games till the egg is found

I would definitely play faceit ranked if they did bring out custom games

fuck easy anti cheat

[limpid yarrow]

u do know there probs going to do a ban wave like most comapnys

[silk quartz]

that's irrelevant

hackers will always exist

faceit anticheat/live support trumps shit anti cheat and non existent support

[wise mica]

like csgo xd

[limpid yarrow]

doesnt this get shafted by "hackers will always exist
"

[silk quartz]

Cheating in a video game should be an arrestable offense

[limpid yarrow]

eh no

[silk quartz]

no, faceit has live support

[limpid yarrow]

i would argue making the cheats would be arrestable

[silk quartz]

if u have evidence they get banned within a few hours

what the finals could do

is have a spectator spot for live admins

[limpid yarrow]

anyway not the point of the channal

[silk quartz]

and if someone gets enough reports in 1 game

they come spectate them and live ban them

[vapid mantle]

i dont they think they are able to do that, becouse imagine the amount of people they would have to be paying to just sit all day and do nothing but watch the gameplay of some people that possibly arent even cheaters

[fresh quiver]

there are reasons why companies do ban waves and mostly dont instantly bans them.
when you dont ban them directly but gathering more infos about the functionality of hacks/cheats and do a ban wave. The people who coded it will not now instantly why it was banned they dont know how much the developers of the game know that they could further banwaves.

and funfact: faceit/esl/esea are/were mostly the same.

now back to topic! 🙂

[vapid mantle]

so

i dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but there are some drawings in this particular scene and i cant really see what they are so maybe someone with some editing software can work this out

[acoustic canyon]

theyre flower drawings, you can see them in game on some of the wall garbage bins around the maps and in the practice range

[vapid mantle]

alright

and were these summer-like floaties always on this map?

sorry if some of the things i post are already on the map, but i cant really get on the game rn and check them

[fresh quiver]

hope u noticed the "letters" on the gas canister 😄

[pulsar mason]

They seem pretty low for the usual floating animals?? Am I wrong?

[tough hinge]

Yeah they were

[vapid mantle]

dont really know what ur talking about, to be honest i just got into this whole easter egg hunt thing like today

also, does this text in the middle look weird to anyone else or am i just delulu at this point

[fresh quiver]

u see some little "letters" there 😄

[vapid mantle]

yeah i guess i see the letter S on the top there

[fresh quiver]

then welcome here.
Feel free to fall in any rabbit hole that comes up here 😄 Somedays its a short night 😂

[vapid mantle]

alright then

[vapid mantle]

what about this glitched word in the middle (like the pink letters coming through)

[turbid tinsel]

So the text like that occurs in all of the trailers when it says can you reach the finals, but i do not think we looked much into the font specifically. But i do think everything video related/glitch wise is more tuned towards who/stuff about CNS rather than the password EE itself but i could be wrong there

[vapid mantle]

okay thanks

i will look into some more stuff

[turbid tinsel]

being at the final tier password it is definitely much harder to jump in now but having new sets of eyes always helps

[torn frost]

lol

[ornate silo]

Does anyone know anything about the hollow website?

[rich grove]

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

[ornate silo]

Thanks

[vapid mantle]

the blue line looks like its fading into some sort of text

[tough hinge]

Meow

[hidden torrent]

What’s the answer

[fresh quiver]

only can be something with 666. The Roman numeral for 666, DCLXVI, has exactly one occurrence of all symbols whose value is less than 1000 in decreasing order (D = 500, C = 100, L = 50, X = 10, V = 5, I = 1).

and with that hunters. see ya tomorrow

[pure loom]

Yeah, I've looked at these in all the trailers and they look like there's text in them, but I've never been able to get anything out of it

[fresh quiver]

maybe one last thing i stumbled across closing all my things for today:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Visiting_(Cog_album)

did anyone already had a look at this? songnames where i would instantly recognize something: 1010011010 (=666); Moo (moo namatama) ; The Truth and Other Lies ; holes ;

[pulsar mason]

Oh shit that’s huge

Maybe the password is the numerals of each tier in descending order. Every tier is related to numbers and numerals, combining them together in descending might work

[plucky ridge]

any excuse to listen to another album

Im in

So the song 1010011010's intro is a quote from Orwell's 1984

and its kind of solid

[paper scroll]

Makes sense lore wise

[plucky ridge]

Im going through now seeing if anything else stands out. So far nothing else.

[earnest wagon]

It appears twice more around 0:19.

[plucky ridge]

I feel attacked by the song Just Visiting.
"See people look for patterns
Recurring themes repeating"

[paper scroll]

Guess ill listen to the album

[plucky ridge]

Its honestly a pretty simple album. Its not bad. Not much in regards to vocals.

[paper scroll]

Pot head me would love this band, I like em but as an adult they are just good lol

[plucky ridge]

Definitely solid

[paper scroll]

they are definetly a progressive band because of the unusal time signature

[plucky ridge]

Welp I ended up on "just visiting" the film after the album lol. Kinda wack.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Visiting_(film)

But hey at the end they drive towards Vegas and "Andre asks who would protect him from the devil."

Neat

[paper scroll]

hell and Satan heavy on these puzzles

still cant help but wonder if there is a tie to the kaleidoscope and 666

[plucky ridge]

I went down a rabbit hole with these movies and now I kinda wanna watch them. "just Visiting" was an america remake. Theres like 4 movies lmao

In the OG french version I didnt find much. Theres a gold necklace with precious stones, quail eggs in a time travel potion, the movie takes place in 1123 and 1992.

[gloomy anvil]

looking forward to updates and patch notes tomorrow...

[spiral flower]

Holy shit

Idk if I found anything but the original book of the movie the vanishing was called the golden egg

I have a SC if anyone would be willing to post it for me

[paper scroll]

dm me ill do it

[spiral flower]

I was originally looking up 1984 gold egg

[spiral flower]

Another SC coming

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Egg link for anyone interested

[muted mango]

Does anyone know what the website that you can get from scanning the hollow quote sticker is? I still can’t find anything on it

[hidden nacelle]

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

I can’t see that unless I clink from that link idk why but thank you for showing em that

[fallen jasper]

What do the Easter eggs actually give people

Cosmetics

?

Secret spooky lore?

[ornate sapphire]

info

[restive comet]

secret spooky cosmetic lore info

or maybe just the friends we made along the way

[hard current]

wait.. take all roman numerals (and or numbers) from the passwords and put them in decreasing order

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00, null, empty)
cacoiii (111, 3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi (66)

lxxix
iii
vi
vivi
LXXXVVVIIIIIII (decreasing order roman numerals only)

hmmm

hm.. only one from each below 1000

LXVI

[spiral flower]

What number is that

[hard current]

interesting, LXVI = 66

[spiral flower]

LXVIVI

[hard current]

yes but if we follow the standard of DCLXVI (666) we only have one from each kind that’s below 1000

thus 66

interesting but… probably nothing

000111112333456666779
01234679

[pulsar mason]

I tried that earlier unfortunately, but maybe I did it wrong #easter-eggs message

[hard current]

we’ve gotten so much from Rob but.. I still don’t see anything clearly

[pulsar mason]

I think the fact that there are numbers in every password, in both numeral and Latin forms, is the connecting thread. The five truths are the Roman numerals used for the password perhaps? X = 10, L = 50 etc

[hard current]

I find it interesting that rob keeps referencing our beginning with geocache

[coarse dagger]

Just tried. Smoke does not extinguish the candles.

[hard current]

geo itself is latin correct?

[torn roost]

Yes

Wait

No

I think it might be Norse

[hard current]

630CaCh3

[torn roost]

More older and prominent English is from Latin,Scandinavian, and Germanic languages

[hard current]

“you know the answer” referencing rhb geocache word

is there.. a geocache in space?

[torn roost]

Oh shit

Go damn it Rob

He probably wrote something on the flag

[hard current]

hm?

[torn roost]

On the moon

Imagine rob floating through space with a space suit shaped like Namatama

[hard current]

ah even if this was relevant, no connection to gold or 666 or any of that

[spice lark]

11 seconds in on the trailer for update 1.5 there is an enemy player with a rabbit helmet. It's out there but maybe there is a rabbit hidden somewhere in the game from that scene.

[hard current]

what’s in the practice range that’s relevant to all of this…

no egg, no gold? no stars, no latin..

just the beginning

[shadow shore]

Rob eyed the message about being the beginning and there's a park. That's all that I know of!

[spice lark]

Maybe we shouldn't be looking at the practice range then and instead the tutorial?

[shadow shore]

The only difference between the two seems to be the initial tutorial on how to cash out/steal... and after that namatama stays on the screen if you stroll around the PR

There's still the top compass that has co ordinates in the PR, I was hoping there might be a geocache or something to find if you go to the right place. Wishful thinking though

[pulsar mason]

In game geocache?

[spice lark]

I just found out that if you don't steal the cashout it keeps increasing 10,000 each time. I'm going to get to that point and then see how high it goes

[quaint wing]

The practice range is it's own easter egg. We know there's something to do there, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to do with our password easter egg.

[spice lark]

Also, when we are first introduced to the tutorial, we have no gadgets no abilities, if you go back to the tutorial you can bring in whatever

[shadow shore]

Maybe? I was thinking it might be in the park if there was one...but so far there isn't anything haha

[pulsar mason]

I saw someone try this already, they got to 660,000

[quaint wing]

The park contains 5 roses. Those roses can be picked up and used for something, but we haven't figured anything out yet.

[spice lark]

660,000 is that a coincidence???

[pulsar mason]

Rob has confirmed the roses doesn’t relate to this ee

[pulsar mason]

That’s where they stopped trying and quit, probably goes higher

[shadow shore]

Rob replied to the wikipedia message about geocaches, by hinting at the park I think?

[spice lark]

The lights can be shot out in the practice range, maybe if we shoot them out in a certain order?

[shadow shore]

Could be, I can try now. I'll try different orders

[spice lark]

The cashout practice throwing things have text on them that say "THE FINE FINALS"

[pulsar mason]

Confirmed to be a graphical bug

[spice lark]

The sign on the building for the practice range (Carrugiu Culunelu Bellando de Castro) translates to the Monaco Courthouse. Looking at this building in google maps shows the courthouse.... which is in game.... which I have been calling a church all this time. It looks to be a 1:1 replica.

[hexed zephyr]

Does anyone know approximately what time the update will take place?

[spice lark]

I'm not sure but what I do know is that the in-game watch wearables show the actual time...... wild

[pulsar mason]

No, and wrong chat

[spice lark]

I'm up to 700k on the initial cashout box in tutorial mode. Little over 7 minutes left.

Do I try to steal at 1 mil or wait to see if it keeps going?

3 minutes left only at 840k don't think i'm gonna make it

Scratch that only made it to 930k before the disconnect

[valid lichen]

Hey I’m new to the finals but I love args so could anyone explain to me where we are at rn?

[unique spruce]

in summary we've figured out the passwords you see on this page and we're struggling with the last one at the top: https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2. the bottom 3 passwords for ABC combined form gold (because 1064C is the melting point of gold, 79 is its atomic number, 5f137s2 is the electron configuration for Md which was discovered by the creator of the first periodic table). The other 3 for DEF together form egg (oval shape + calcium carbonate in eggshell + yolk). we've derived that g=6 and there's both l337 and roman numeral substitution involved, so the passwords for ABC and DEF were viold and evivi (gold > 60ld > viold, egg > e66 > evivi)

[valid lichen]

Gotcha

[unique spruce]

these are not literal translations but I was messing with shifting 1 letter at a time from violdevivi and by putting each of these in Google Translate (#easter-eggs message) I get:
oldevivivi means i'm alive in latin

ldevivivio is life
eviviviolde is alive
viviviolde is vividly
vivioldevi is i lived

[limpid escarp]

There is also a nice recap to watch here: #egg-hunt-onboarding message

[valid lichen]

Thanks

So what we are currently doing is decoding what we already have or trying to find new clues? Possibly in the update tomorrow

[unique spruce]

we have been given a hint of a possible in-game hint in the training area that we haven't found yet

but yes, we are ultimately trying to crack the last password using all the clues we have from previous ones in the level

if you're familiar with Discord's search, you can use from: rob_embark in: easter-eggs to find posts from the legend behind this EE hunt

probably the biggest tip we've gotten is that we're supposed to identify 5 things that have been true throughout the level and combine them to get the password. we believe those things are gold, egg, latin, space, and #5 is possibly love

[valid lichen]

Ok interesting

Well imma head to sleep but thanks for the info

Goodnight

sum of violden: 51, LI, or 37, XXXVII if o=0

sum of evivi: 16, XVI

LI + XVI = 67, LXV
XXXVII + XVI = 53, LIII

cant say i didnt try

question > quaestio

[limpid escarp]

Im trying to brainstorm all possible truths for this level, maybe questions could be one in some way?

Its a reach

Maybe desperate reaches was a truth all along

[coarse dagger]

Sorry, where was this confirmed?

[coarse dagger]

White Rabbits (WRs) are all hidden on Seoul. The scene you're describing takes place in Skyway Stadium.

[unique spruce]

we're missing something from this image and I believe it may be the heart

[pulsar mason]

Wait im wrong, it wasnt comfirmed just theorised

[limpid escarp]

Maybe not love but hearts is a truth?

[unique spruce]

a usual (not literal organ) heart shape is symmetrical

[coarse dagger]

This?
#easter-eggs message
It's inaccurate. The rings literally say "THE FINE FINALS"
Pretty much no way that can be a bug.

[unique spruce]

The Ace of Hearts is a card in a playing card deck that represents love, happiness, and celebration. It can also symbolize the beginning of a new life, the birth of new love, and the celebration of success. a card depicting a new love, a new beginning, and the birth of newfound feelings

[limpid escarp]

Lines upp with all of the mirroring and reflections found

[limpid escarp]

So the heart could depict a beginning maybe

If we are looking for something to do with the PR

[unique spruce]

hold up

that image has a 6 card too

6 and egg and love

[fresh quiver]

and we still don't find them 😄

[limpid escarp]

You're saying 6 is a truth?

Mayhaps

Also three shown cards

Could be something

[unique spruce]

was that image what led us to looking into tarot cards?

dammit i really need to get to sleep but The Star Seeker Tarot is a 79-card deck that is said to guide your spiritual path

[fresh quiver]

nope. that was wig with #easter-eggs message

but we thought about this image after we tried tarot

[unique spruce]

well @hasty anvil, the nama image I put a few posts up from here has a joker card, a 6, and a heart. tarot decks are usually 78 cards but there are some that are 79, like the star seeker. and the joker is one of them (the fool)

i think thats all a bit too many coincidences

and i do vaguely remember now, The sixth tarot card is The Lovers

what is LAMOVREVX

"Lamovrevx" is a misspelling of the standard tarot card title "Lamoureux/L'amoureux" which translates to "The Male Lover".
The Lovers is the sixth Major Arcana card in most tarot decks. It is the seventh card in the major arcana of the Latin Tarot, but is numbered VI (six) because The Fool is the first card and numbered 0 (zero

[coarse dagger]

Truths aren't necessarily all directly related to the passwords
#easter-eggs message

[unique spruce]

the couples image

[limpid escarp]

I feel like love has been mentioned as a truth a bunch of times now, but hasnt gotten any eyes...

[unique spruce]

that is true

so i guess we can stop right here and cross it out less we get eyes this attempt...

on that note, thats a good spot to stop, im goin to sleep

[limpid escarp]

Aight man good work hunting today. Night!

[fresh quiver]

love is also connected to VI?
also the counting starts at 0 sounds viable for me.
would also fit that we had g=6 ; f=5

[shadow shore]

also just noticed it's written only on the bottom part of the ring...the top two "The Finals" on the same hoop are written normally - I just climbed onto the top and looked down. So it's likely deliberate for whatever reason I'd say

[pulsar mason]

Yep thats the one I read wrong, defintely not a bug

[limpid escarp]

What could the significance of "fine" be?

It could mean beautiful

But also a fine that has to do with money

Or gold maybe

However it is used as an adjective so its most likely just "beautiful" or "good"

[shadow shore]

yeah most likely the "of very high quality" definition of the word

[fresh quiver]

"fine" is probably just a little shader easteregg for us 🙂

[limpid escarp]

Or its rob calling us fine

Ion know about you but that sounds like truth to me

[coarse dagger]

I'm just getting caught up in chat now. I'm glad someone caught it. I was like "NOTHING STUCK OUT TO YOU?!?!"

[unique spruce]

There also is a six of cups tarot card

[limpid escarp]

You are going to be tired in the morning

[velvet narwhal]

Hi guys, any new findings in the last 8 hours?

[unique spruce]

The combination of the Six of Cups and the Fool tarot card in a love reading is a powerful indication of a fresh start in a relationship.

[limpid escarp]

This is almost too good not to be something

As rob has hinted to "the beginning"

[shadow shore]

more theories and connections but nothing concrete just yet!

[coarse dagger]

Don't mind me, just pinging our numbers person to make sure it's on their radar:
@unborn pilot

[unique spruce]

Would we consider war as a theme throughout the level, with all the guns?

[limpid escarp]

Also, the jack of clubs is "a good omen if you are looking for love"

[limpid escarp]

Yeah, or fighting, kind of what the finals is about too

[shadow shore]

the throwing knives have the "cards" skin and each time you throw them a different card takes it's place. Can't see anything of significance though

[unique spruce]

The lovers are linked to venus and Mars and often seen as an allegory of love and war

[limpid escarp]

Maybe love and war is both needed in order for them to be truths?

[unique spruce]

Gold and egg, love and war, latin and l33t

My d### and deez nu## 😆

[limpid escarp]

That is kinda how we are all feeling at this point lol

[unique spruce]

o7 im out for good now

[limpid escarp]

Aight man

[limpid escarp]

Is there any pattern at all in the order that the cards appear?

[shadow shore]

I'll check now

[fresh quiver]

good to know that rcade is our numbers person 😄

[shadow shore]

Seems to be random, it repeated a combination of two cards once after 11 throws...then didn't follow the same order afterwards

[limpid escarp]

Dang it, probably nothing then.

Isn't there an easter egg found that is a date in 1995?

Maybe not, can't find anything

[knotty charm]

o7

[hushed chasm]

There's a big list of what the real thing but combination is the key of the way, you know something about the vanishing?

No more the finals pls

[timid solstice]

I havent read the last 31 hours, anything interesting?

also some trailer/teaser findings...

and we may got back that maybe "love" is one of the 5 truths.

[valid lichen]

are the flowers in the practice range for an old challenge or are they still relevant?

[pulsar mason]

The roses? Theyre not relevant if that's what u mean

[valid lichen]

yeah alr

[velvet narwhal]

They are for something but not for the current tier. #easter-eggs message

AU can also mean astronomical unit.

somebody already tried to shoot dummies with the turrets in the last patch?
Not that this was the friend 😅

-Improved the floor number display in elevators

[unique spruce]

no eyes on anything from last night, so gotta kill those trails

i guess rule out all of tarot, love, and war

[limpid escarp]

Okay so love, hearts, tarot, war, space, roman numerals are all not truths

I guess namatama has been present throughout this level?

[unique spruce]

aumatama

[limpid escarp]

haha yeah "au" is just "na" flipped and upside down (kinda)

[unique spruce]

the hat this nama wears is a skin isnt it?

[limpid escarp]

hmmm, maybe the truths dont even need to be actual things. Maybe themes can be a truth, since themes have been present throughout the level.

[limpid escarp]

Yeah

[shadow shore]

isn't it namatama in armour?

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message

[limpid escarp]

"Nama tama is dressed as rob"

Its a knights helmet, confirmed not to be a hint to a medival map

[maiden oxide]

I don’t know it it helps but if you dye from void you take 32768 damage

[limpid escarp]

Also, in the description of the picture it says that its the jack of clubs. Rob, however, refers to it as a joker...

[unique spruce]

6x666 = 3996

i dont think this image rob posted could relate to the practice range. its all indoors

[limpid escarp]

yeah, does that pic get blue again at the bottom or am i seeing things

i assume it the sky or something

[unique spruce]

it is a sky

[limpid escarp]

close to the church in monaco probably?

this has already been discussed i take it

[crisp glen]

no custom games this patch ☹️ at least solo bank it doesnt ruin anyones game though

[fresh quiver]

jack has a J. joker has a J..

also he dont meant that jack with the knight helmet.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1194768764491796500/image.png?ex=65b18e1f&is=659f191f&hm=bc5aeb11c0c736c38aed646e372f0d334996790644ea40ddbe74d398d4d5e6c9&

he means the jack where the namatama is dressed as rob

[unique spruce]

oh jesus youre right

[limpid escarp]

Ah, of course

Oh hey im yellow now

[unique spruce]

that joker is reflected too

though i guess thats normal of all the royal cards

[valid lichen]

its prob a barrel

I think most playing cards are mirrored to see them from both sides 🙂

[limpid escarp]

Did a rabbit get found today or was that a joke

[spiral flower]

What if we’re supposed to combine 2 things of the gold passwords and 3 things of the egg password

Instead of 3 gold 2 egg what if its 2 gold 3 egg

Just looking at similarities in the passwords and 2 gold passwords use Roman numerals and you could argue 3 things for egg are written out in more of a Latin fashion

[valid lichen]

hmmm

[spiral flower]

Couldn’t argue very hard but just a thought

[limpid escarp]

This was eyed, so the two inner boxes could very well be gold and egg

[unique spruce]

In Arthurian legend, Sir Morien is a knight who wears black armor and has a black shield

percival was a knight of the round table and the link i have there to gold egg is parzival from ready player one

[limpid escarp]

Hold up, cant the five truths be what has been connected to gold and egg in the passwords in this level? So golds melting point, golds atomic number, the egg shape, the egg shell and the eggyolk?

[unique spruce]

right now how tf do we combine those 5

we really just get a golden egg

[limpid escarp]

maybe just mash the words and numbers together in order?

[spiral flower]

I don’t think it’s gold egg

[unique spruce]

the golden egg in ready player one also represents rebirth, the typical symbolic meaning behind a golden egg

[spiral flower]

I think gold egg might’ve been one way to connect the two but if the secondary meaning behind the egg passwords that haven’t been found out yet could be the missing link

[coarse dagger]

That theory's been around for a while FYI
#easter-eggs message

[limpid escarp]

no yeah i dont think its gold egg either, just that those are the two things that we should associate the five truths to

gold and egg as two separate things

as the picture dividing the passwords into two groups of four, naming each group gold and egg respectivly was eyed

where do you even try entering passwords?

like where would one type them in
