easter-eggs

[spiral flower]

It’s the first link

I’ve filled out a couple but nothing crazy

[limpid escarp]

oh thanks

[spiral flower]

The fact we’re Al still confused about the five truths is what’s urking me

[coarse dagger]

That's not a jack. It doesn't have a suit.

Its the Black Joker like Rob said.

[viscid halo]

Did anyone noticed that when u die from fall it now says 32768?

Anyone tried that password?

[unique spruce]

just tried 32768 and iiiiiviiviviii, nothing

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah thats new

[unique spruce]

32,768 is the highest frequency that humans can perceive

namatama language/speech is a high pitch

[valid lichen]

alright alright we getting somewhere

interesting

[unique spruce]

reference: #easter-eggs message

record footage in the practice range park and mess with the audio?

enable night mode sound option?

[slate dagger]

night mode enhances bass

[velvet narwhal]

this could be something

[unique spruce]

going in

[valid lichen]

def worth trying

[limpid escarp]

Record the big jump pad! It has some kind of pattern i think.

[unique spruce]

when i tried that setting the other day, it made the audience chanting really pronounced

[limpid escarp]

Also, 32,768 is just the lowest negative number that can be made using 16 bits...

So probably just to make sure you die if you fall

[hasty anvil]

can someone screenshot the death message?

[tired falcon]

Are we all done with the holtow site? All I see is the red light, and when you double click, it's blue and pruple. When you click off the page when blue and purple, it becomes grey and peach.

[unique spruce]

got nothin

[idle dagger]

There's something pretty dark about this game but I can't put my finger on it.

[unique spruce]

the contestants are trapped in the simulation just like we are 'irl'

[velvet narwhal]

The fact that we are probably in some The Matrix style situation

[idle dagger]

Alright I'll go with that

[limpid escarp]

They can unplug though, as mentioned by scotty sometimes at the end of matches

[idle dagger]

Makes sense, the audience are all from a screen so maybe that'd explain that

[velvet narwhal]

But most of the time is spent in the virtual space. Either its very cool in there or its very uncool outside

[unique spruce]

yea. ive actually worked on an unreal game project of my own for some time now that i had this plot in mind for

[limpid escarp]

i think its very cool inside

[velvet narwhal]

I actually hope Arc Raiders and The Finals is connected and everyone plays The Finals cause the real world is f'ed up by the arc.

[unique spruce]

yea the only strange frequency sounds i can find in the practice range are the jump pad and the generator

maybe someone can do something with those in editing

[limpid escarp]

but what happened to Odilia the trickster??

[unique spruce]

im quite sure that is the case that theyre definitely linked. you can see a jump pad in one of the arc raiders videos that i think looked similar to the finals ones

[sharp flame]

same thing as Scotty/June, they used to play and now they don't 🤣

[limpid escarp]

Odilia = Ophelia???

I think she died or something

[velvet narwhal]

Where did you get that from?

[unique spruce]

odilia = ophelia would mean phe = di

[idle dagger]

Wouldn't she be the female narrator? You'll hear the dude say she was a former contestant. I've just assumed it was her

[velvet narwhal]

ahhhh 'legacy'

[limpid escarp]

I dont know it just kinda felt right

[sharp flame]

Kinda sounds like a postmortem but could equally just be a retirement

[unique spruce]

says she was a trickster too. a joker, one might call it

[limpid escarp]

Holy moly

[sharp flame]

remember this is an online game so if "Odilia" stopped playing she could basically disappear off the face of the "virtual earth"

basically "dying"

[unique spruce]

maybe our character needs to be styled as odilia, wearing all black

[velvet narwhal]

Scotty: "One of our best players died. Lets sell her likeness for monetary gain!"

[sharp flame]

💀 real

[limpid escarp]

Scotty does kinda have that money making mindset

[idle dagger]

"Legacy as a contestant" its definitely the narrator

[limpid escarp]

Her name is june though?

[idle dagger]

So?

Odelia is a stage name

Of sorts

[velvet narwhal]

I hoped you'd get different voicelines while playing as her but didn't notice any

[idle dagger]

In game name

[unique spruce]

june is 6 👀

[limpid escarp]

June is really an egg

June = Namatama???

[idle dagger]

June = mommy????

[unique spruce]

nothing going in as odelia either, but maybe im giving up too quick thinking its an instant thing

[limpid escarp]

"Leaving opponents chasing shadows" that does kinda sound like what we are doing huh

[velvet narwhal]

Take a walk in the park

[limpid escarp]

Rob = Odilia = Ophelia = Hamlet = The five truths

[unique spruce]

i did 😭 crouched, walked, ran

[limpid escarp]

Do you guys think we are paying too little attention to finding clues from Hamlet?

[idle dagger]

Whats the 5 truths

[velvet narwhal]

I think that we all are very dumb... and the password is probably dangling in front of our nose

[limpid escarp]

Probably yea

[limpid escarp]

Excellent question

[velvet narwhal]

We are looking for 5 things that are true in the whole level. They are used to get the password for this tier

#easter-eggs message

[idle dagger]

In what level?

And what do ya mean by true

[limpid escarp]

2

Good hunting! 🥚

[turbid tinsel]

this is all in one level

[limpid escarp]

When rob said combind, or combine, do you think that means we should try to find numbers to combine?

I feel like combining five words might be difficult

[turbid tinsel]

might just be five letters as well maybe

[limpid escarp]

Didnt even think of that lol

[velvet narwhal]

We know for sure that Latin is a truth. This one could be applied by turning numbers into roman numerals for example.

[gloomy anvil]

any new discoveries since the update?

[velvet narwhal]

not really, Fall damage now shows as 32768 damage

[limpid escarp]

I think the fall damage is just because that number is the highest number displayable with 15 bits (when negative)

[velvet narwhal]

Yep

[idle dagger]

Have you tried password

[velvet narwhal]

as password?

[slate dagger]

[from google] What is special about the number 32768?
32,768 is a positive integer equal to (2^{15} = 2^{2^4 - 1}). It is notable in computer science for being the absolute value of the maximum negative value of a 16-bit signed integer, which spans the range [-32768, 32767].

might be a bug

[idle dagger]

Ye that's definitely it

[velvet narwhal]

OMG IT WORKED \s

[idle dagger]

I knew it

[limpid escarp]

Maybe we need to find four numbers where two is connected to egg, two are connected to gold and then type in that number in roman numerals?

[velvet narwhal]

If you wanna try some random stuff you can input it there: https://www.reachthefinals.com/t3-f

[idle dagger]

Where are the pictures for clues on this one?

Yee I have been

XXXIIDCCLXVIII is not it

[velvet narwhal]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 click the red x's there

[idle dagger]

Thanks

[unborn ledge]

I have a weird feeling that the solution is very close 😏

[idle dagger]

So just the question mark?

[velvet narwhal]

T2ABC and T2DEF are the newest ones (we didn't really find anything there) but every image is important.

[idle dagger]

Oh I see

[limpid escarp]

the numbers we have connected to the element gold is 79 and 1064 right? And the ones connected to egg could be 0 and 797979/666666 maybe

[velvet narwhal]

We are looking for 5 truths/themes/things which are true in the whole level, so they should also be in some form or another in the older images

[idle dagger]

Random theory but what if you're let out of the simulation after winning the final round / tournament

There's 32 bullets on the ground in tier 1e, maybe that's something because of the gold picture in tier 2abc

[spiral flower]

Hey fellas

[idle dagger]

32678 has gotta be something

[velvet narwhal]

https://padlet.com/Kyne this is good if you wanna look through the tiers.

[spiral flower]

Just thought of something not sure if it’s been mentioned but there 6 answers that have Roman numerals in the answer, when rob said “2 be or not 2b” what if he was saying the fifth Roman numeral answer could be 2abcor it could be 2def

1b,1d,1e,1f then 2abc and 2def

Maybe there’s not 5 truths but 5 true answers to combine

[slate dagger]

the quartz crystal oscillates at around 32.768kHz

[limpid escarp]

Thats kinda what i was trying to say here lol

[slate dagger]

so maybe time?

[slate dagger]

32768 Alexandripatov is also an asteroid

[unique spruce]

There are many symbols in Hamlet. Two of these include weeds, which Hamlet uses as a symbol of corruption, and flowers, which each carry a unique symbolic meaning. The flowers in Hamlet have a variety of meanings, including:

Rosemary - remembrance

Pansies - thoughts

Fennel - flattery

Columbines - foolishness

Rue - sorrow, regret

Daisies - innocence

Violets - faithfulness, fragility

[unique spruce]

i believe this slot machine callev Velvet flashes a sequence of possibly morse code

its not one constant sequence

in eastwood casino

[thick hound]

anyone recognise/able to read this signature on the baseball charm?

[coarse dagger]

You're describing June

[unique spruce]

ascii value of viold is 542, evivi is 547. oddly close

vi0ld is 479

3vivi is 497

[hasty anvil]

Rob's signature

[thick hound]

👍

[coarse dagger]

Twos complement is how signed integers like this are stored.

I think it's likely this is a bug, but if not Rob may be trying to get us to think about encoding using twos complement.

[coarse dagger]

People have been saying that for months

[unique spruce]

this site lets us get the ascii shift of anything for 1-127 shifts easily, good tool https://www.dcode.fr/ascii-shift-cipher

[coarse dagger]

Columbines - foolishness
The fool 👀

[main acorn]

What does this sticker stand for? Hidden Sponsor ?

[limpid escarp]

yeah probably just something unreleased. the alien is also holding a weapon skin thats unreleased in the practice raneg

wrong channel

[vapid mantle]

my bad

[limpid yarrow]

is probs another grifiti logo

[limpid escarp]

Looking for WRs is such a pain. anyone got any tips?

Im in spec on seoul in solo ofc

[paper scroll]

Finally at lunch what I miss?

[gloomy anvil]

look above or below where your POV usually points

as in, not at eye level

[limpid escarp]

yeah thats probably a good idea

[gloomy anvil]

I wonder how many times people have run past rabbits in-game because they aren't at eye level

[valid lichen]

wait why do rabbits matter?

[limpid escarp]

multiple times every seoul game probably

[limpid escarp]

there is probably one in hospital, right?

[limpid escarp]

i dont really know, we know that there are 5 on seoul though, and we have found 3.

[valid lichen]

ok cool

where are the 3 that were found at?

[paper scroll]

Don't think they have ties to the puzzles

At least major ties I think

[valid lichen]

might be for a hint or something

[spiral flower]

If you’re searching for WRs the solo bank it might be good for that bc you can die and spectate the whole game

[paper scroll]

I mean we do have the rabbit head cosmetic

[limpid escarp]

yeah i am

[spiral flower]

Ooooo word

[valid lichen]

real

[valid lichen]

oh alr

i get Seoul all the time so ill check it out

[gloomy anvil]

here's what they look like in game

and (I've heard) you have to be within 15 meters to see them

not sure how accurate that is

[limpid escarp]

its really annoying to look for them either way

hospital is huge

[shadow shore]

depending on how many of us are searching for WRs right now, maybe we can co ordinate and do a full sweep? Like someone's assigned the roof and another the next floor etc. That may be faster... I've just been running around frantically

[limpid escarp]

im in spectator mode flying around but i have to re-q so often

you get inactivity warnings too if you dont respawn

[gloomy anvil]

you don't auto-respawn in solo?

[limpid escarp]

nope

[gloomy anvil]

I haven't played the update yet

[limpid escarp]

lol im not playing either really

[sharp flame]

Yep

[sharp flame]

Good news is AFAIK they are not hidden behind anything and should be in plain sight

[hasty anvil]

I've been seeing them all in spectator mode, not sure about this 15m thing

[limpid escarp]

hospital is split into two parts as well and i have no idea where they are

[sharp flame]

so probably on the side of a hospital machine or the underside of a staircase

[sharp flame]

This is accurate

[limpid escarp]

thats nice

[limpid escarp]

im looking at everything

[hasty anvil]

I've tested it a bunch, i disagree haha

[sharp flame]

The other ones are honestly not that hidden

[sharp flame]

Shorter or longer?

[hasty anvil]

There isn't a distance for me

[limpid escarp]

you do it then, lol

jk

[hasty anvil]

When you first walk up to it it fades in, but once that's done it stays in spectator mode

[sharp flame]

Found one of them and that's good enough for me 😭

[hasty anvil]

But there's also been WR I haven't been near and used spectator, and i can see them

[sharp flame]

I found it on ACCIDENT while falling past the WR in mall 😭😭

[limpid escarp]

the hardest one of the found ones is probably the one on the back of the lamp

[hasty anvil]

We can maybe try to organise searching, so everyone searches the roof first, and we can clear that

[limpid escarp]

the other ones are kinda in the open

[hasty anvil]

work downwards

[sharp flame]

sure sure

[limpid escarp]

yeah thatd be nice

[sharp flame]

Will get on in a bit

[hasty anvil]

If there's 2 left, I feel there's one across the bridge hospital, then one centre of the map hospital

[velvet narwhal]

Should this organised WR search maybe be in a thread?

[hasty anvil]

So we start across the bridge so we know for sure

[limpid escarp]

yeah!

[south wyvern]

? who found the third rabbit?

[limpid escarp]

Maybe we should start at the part of hospital before the bridge?

[gloomy anvil]

@shadow shore

[hasty anvil]

The Big WR Hunt

Where's the map for the ones we have so far

[gloomy anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

Rob guessed it''d be about 2.8 days per rabbit, so maybe won't take too long if we try to find them

[south wyvern]

Five days ago, damn. Nice find @shadow shore!! I've been still looking around the hospital...

[shadow shore]

@hasty anvil I can't post on the new thread but i'll join the roof too

[gloomy anvil]

if a CM is reading, it would be cool if the Contestant role could send messages in threads, even if only Rising Stars can make them.

oh there's one...

[fallen jasper]

Unfortunately It's a bit of a security issue

[gloomy anvil]

😔

[limpid yarrow]

tbf its kinda valid to prevent bots

[shadow shore]

@hasty anvil @limpid escarp I just checked the 3rd floor, briefly skimmed the the stairs too

It might actually be on something like the 3rd WR we found was too. Like a breakable object

[limpid escarp]

yeah we gotta check everything

i didnt find anything on the third floor either

[shadow shore]

yeah same

[hasty anvil]

I'm searching Monaco a tiny bit too for the friend, since practise range came to a bit of a dead end

[limpid escarp]

I didnt find anything in the whole right hospital. Might have to check first floor again though.

[shadow shore]

yeah neither, nothing under the unbreakable hospital beds too. Well the ones you can't melee

[limpid escarp]

I briefly checked both bridges too. Nothing

[velvet narwhal]

Has anyone posted the roulette tables in vegas yet?
19 is black on the table while red in the roulette
28 is red on the table while black in the roulette

[limpid escarp]

Thats interesting

Weird to make it like that on accident

[hasty anvil]

Rockhound found some weird numbers on the lewis gun roulette skin too

#easter-eggs message . Ok, I've made a bit of a discovery about this. The Lewis Gun roulette wheel is modified - it has no number 26 (which should be left of the zero) and no number 31, and two number 13s (one of these replaces the missing 31). This gives a total of 622.

what it's supposed to be I think

[limpid escarp]

yeah youre right

[hasty anvil]

Lewis gun numbers are all black numbers

[velvet narwhal]

This is a table for a Single-Zero Wheel but the red and black layout should still be correct.

[hasty anvil]

the table should still be fine

[velvet narwhal]

Lewis gun is single zero wheel
Table in vegas is double zero

[velvet narwhal]

yeah still the same layout

[limpid escarp]

double 16?

[olive jewel]

Just checking, did you guys already examine the 12 images in the battlepass backgrounds?

[shadow shore]

@limpid escarp @hasty anvil you can even check those little blue square window things (some are just left of the sky bridge if you're heading towards the back hospital area). They have breakable glass but don't go into the actual building...just a little ledge. I'm going to check them but I haven't been getting the right map

[limpid escarp]

Alright

[shadow shore]

These bunnies are going to haunt my dreams

[hasty anvil]

They've all been the same size and in open spots, it can't be THAT hard...

[shadow shore]

What if our worst fears come alive and they're not even in the hospital...

[hasty anvil]

I think I have lowest 2 floors left to check, but then I think it's behind something breakable/edge of map

it must be surely

If we do get the one in hospital, the real question is where can the last one be

[shadow shore]

Yeah and it'd be unlikely there are any in the construction site as some times it's inaccessible

[hasty anvil]

maybe we get a little reward from Rob for finding 5, that's the motivation

[shadow shore]

We just need to think like a rabbit

[proud patio]

(this is copy of a message I sent to #📂┇the-finals-wiki, because I was told it was a wrong channel) look what I found! When playing solo bank it on skyway stadium (I think the map is called like that) I fell into the void and saw this. I am pretty much sure that before this update it always said like infinity or something but it actually dealt a specific amount of damage. Maybe it's just a mistake, but maybe just maybe (this might sound crazy) it means something. Surely it's not a date but maybe it is something like a cipher. What do you guys think about it?

[pure loom]

I must admit, I'm slightly disappointed that Solo Bank It will kick you out of the game if you don't respawn. Rudely interrupting my EE searching haha

[rich grove]

what if the questionmark object on the whiteboard is a metor

[pure loom]

March 27 1968, Yuri Gagarin's date of death

[unborn pilot]

Not to mention the orbital laser while taking a screenshot 😂

[pure loom]

haha, yes!

[pulsar mason]

It’s likely to be a bug since it’s the max number for 16 bit or something

[sharp flame]

Wait a second..

[limpid escarp]

This is most likely the case

[proud patio]

shhh I like to belive that I contributed to easter eggs community

[limpid escarp]

OMG THAT WAS THE PASSWORD!!1!!1 /s

[shadow shore]

Confirming that the WRs appear if you're spectating

[coarse dagger]

I would look in regions where WRs have not yet been found
WRs have been found in data center, apartments, and mall.

So searching in hospital and under construction is what I would recommend.

[limpid escarp]

Yeah a couple of ppl got together and started searching hospital!

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1197268508623515849

[hasty anvil]

Yep, would be great to get as many people on board as possible

[limpid escarp]

Even to get ppl to recheck what we already cleared!

[hasty anvil]

I know for a fact I will have missed one -_-

[shadow shore]

Yeah I admit I may have gotten a bit carried away with the new baseball bat skin...

[unborn pilot]

The mineral name “calcite” is credited to Gaius Plinius Secundus (Pliny the elder) in the year 79 based on the Latin word for “lime”.

Interesting CaCO3 connection to 79

[pulsar mason]

Wonder why there’s a Galileo Namatama in the patch notes message

#patch-notes message

[hasty anvil]

Now you say that, there's space, gold, strength (?) and chemistry namas

[pulsar mason]

5 things that have been true through each level

The namatamas

[hasty anvil]

Although it's a CM message haha

nevermind

[pulsar mason]

Damnit

[valid lichen]

alr imma go look for some rabbits

[rich sleet]

is the site html considered data mining?

[valid lichen]

could we possibly need under construction or something for a rabbit to spawn?

[shadow shore]

I think all WRs would be visible in all map conditions

[valid lichen]

alr

for some reason i couldnt see one that was alr found

it wasnt showing up

[sharp flame]

Not sure if that word fits but defo not encouraged/allowed

[rich sleet]

ok

[unique spruce]

Guys

A gold egg is a mystery egg. What has this whole level been combined? Also a mystery

[spiral flower]

What’s a synonym for mystery with the letter g in it

Or is that not related hmmm

Enigma?

[unique spruce]

Enigma

[timid solstice]

Good evening, any progress?

[spiral flower]

[sharp flame]

A new gamemode!

allows you to permanently spectate

perfect for WR hunting

[south laurel]

do u guys already know about the holtow QR code sticker? u can actually scan it and get to a weird website

[timid solstice]

Yep check pinned message

#easter-eggs message

[south laurel]

ohhhh sheeesh

i thought i found something new

xD

[timid solstice]

You might have had so thanks for letting us know! There’s a thread link there too with other investigations related to that skin pack

[south laurel]

W

[shadow shore]

I just had Seoul with fog, with the completed construction building... and the data centre WR wasn't there, or the big sign either. So maybe they do spawn only in certain conditions

[jade citrus]

its there, its just really hard to see with those conditions

graphics settings also play a role in their visibility

oh also that sign is destructable so it might not be there if someone blows up that outer wall

[shadow shore]

I'll send you the screen shot to make sure I was looking at the right wall

[hasty anvil]

Big sign is hard to see when it's on, you have to damage it

@shadow shore haha it is this one, must have got destroyed

[shadow shore]

Okay cool, I'll double check next time I get fog

[pure loom]

except it doesn't haha

[hasty anvil]

I just got fog it's there for me

[shadow shore]

Welp

yeah must have been destroyed then!

[unborn pilot]

never really stopped to look at it, but is there a theory as to why there's all this yellow confetti in the Monaco park mainly by that little nook. this was right at the start of the match, so i dont think it's from a destructible the way it's placed around the area.

also, noticed this under the little bridge

but not really anywhere else on the map.

[paper scroll]

That sniper zoom from the patch notes comes in handy foe the EH

Hunterd

[hasty anvil]

I've noticed this a bunch all through Monaco parks, i'm not too sure

[unborn pilot]

Interesting I’ll keep an eye out for more. Maybe there’s a theme to what they’re around.

[hasty anvil]

definitely looks out of place

[pure loom]

I've seen the 3031 in multiple places, or do you mean the "Canors" or whatever that says?

[shadow shore]

Just had fog and it was there again haha

[unborn pilot]

Yeah that together. Where are the 3031 usually?

[pure loom]

I thought I had seen them a bit near doorways on Monaco and maybe the Monaco sections of Skyway

[valid lichen]

the under construction one makes it so you are able to get on top of that big building

[rich grove]

another green tag in monaco

yet another one

[pulsar mason]

Pretty sure they’re on all trees

[lilac scaffold]

I wanna check it out more closely

[pure loom]

yeah, all the ones that look like that

[lilac scaffold]

Looks like numbers

[pure loom]

it's 783

maybe with a Q after it

we first found it in the Practice Range

[paper scroll]

Oh hi rock your YouTube video got me into the hunt

[pure loom]

Hey, great! Welcome aboard!

[lilac scaffold]

Huh interesting.

Im omw to work i wanna look at it up close later tonight.

[paper scroll]

My brain is still thinking audio themed ideas for those numbers.

[lilac scaffold]

Reminds me of a street sign grown into a tree

[paper scroll]

The hertz of those numbers could be used in notes

[sharp flame]

It's Seoul, jump off the map again ez

[pure loom]

Interesting. B = 2 is normal, if there is a Q after it does that mean Q = 2?

[gloomy anvil]

looking forward to rabbit hunting tomorrow... cya

[paper scroll]

dont know if you saw a few days ago but the audio graph in the 1.5 trailer had 666 in the picture. I remembered about it when me and my friends were messing around making funny (immature) images on the audio graph pictures

[remote basin]

hey i have no idea what im doing but if you go into the holtow website and inspect the blue dot there is a link in the inspect which sends you to a squarespace webpage with just the word healthy, i have no idea if this is related but i thought id give it a shot

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[sand swan]

found something interesting in soel when playing solo cahout

there were flashing red lights around parts of the main building in the middle that look kinda like the one on the qr code on the holtow sticker

i would send a vid but i cant

[pure loom]

I'll take a look!

[pure loom]

Did someone post it? I can't really see anything too interesting in it

[paper scroll]

#easter-eggs message

@pure loom

[sand swan]

https://youtu.be/ozgxvODF73Y quality is garbage ill upload a better one later

[fallen jasper]

That is... really odd never seeen that before.

[south wyvern]

They always remind me of Earth's core/magma

[paper scroll]

there was a datamine a few months ago about an event called floor is lava

[pulsar mason]

The flashing red light?

We’re pretty sure that’s flight lights used to warn aircraft of tall buildings, they’re all over the tall buildings

[pure loom]

Looking at them here - don't know if I'm convinced about it

[sand swan]

Could be right but it just that it’s only viewable from that angle in the video

Wouldn’t be able to see it from the other side

At least I couldn’t

[pulsar mason]

Yeah that’s what leads us to think it’s a texture issue, it’s a one sided texture that should be on the side of the buildings. You shouldn’t be able to see the other side

[sand swan]

Probably but what I find it kinda weird that it’s just sorta floating there without a prop or model to make it look like a light on a building. In a game that has some of the smallest details in some places, it’s kinda odd. Then again it could’ve been an oversight.

[hasty anvil]

How's this for coincidence

taking goldenegg to numbers gives 60.450.3n.366

Main numbers all divisible by 6

[unborn pilot]

this sticky note almost looks like an overhead map of something with 2 locations marked.

[hasty anvil]

I thought that too, but people said it's an old sticky

[unborn pilot]

hmm. Skyway Stadium was the last one to be added i thought. end of October.

had the whiteboard too with a ton of unsolved stuff.

[shadow shore]

can we trace where that is, or do we have all the maps on hand so we can just compare them??

[paper scroll]

i wana say off memory it looks like a vegas room could be wrong

[hasty anvil]

The angled line I assume is a door

but top left symbol looks like a +

[unborn pilot]

dont want to trace it and change anything. here what is looks like when you just mess with the brightness levels

[fallen jasper]

has anyone noticed the writing on the never evanesance for akm? it says something about exploiting something

i bet you all have though

[hasty anvil]

I can't remember off the top of my head, but we probably have

I'm trying to do passwords again and got to this: 60.ld3n.366 / LX.ld3n.CCCLXVI, but I can't take it further

ld can't be used as latin due to it's order i'm pretty sure

[paper scroll]

bottom blacked out square could be a cash box idk the top though

[shadow shore]

Thick black line next to the bottom symbol might represent something?

[unborn pilot]

Possibly. I was thinking maybe it’s an indoor map in which case it could point to stairs

[paper scroll]

man i want to know what the prize is at the end lol

[rich grove]

no EE hints in the patch notes? password must be simple if rob has given up giving hints lmao

[shadow shore]

Well BF had skins and dogtags etc, would be cool for something like that... but figuring it all out is fun enough in itself I think

[paper scroll]

agreed, even if one person from embark is hosting the whole arg its still fun and shows how much they do love the project they are on

i love lore in games so i hope this arg only deepens it

[fallen jasper]

okay so im new here, and i didnt know theres an arg?!? i love args and i hope i can help! could i get the a breakdown of the arg so far and what we know?

They seem to be on certain loading screens for Seoul too. Where the building is completed

[pure loom]

Some of the manhole covers in the alleyway next to Glamora have "1038" on them

Just spent a whole round wandering around Glamora. Never saw another contestant haha

[idle dagger]

The way light runs around with the knife is pretty sinister tbh

And so is calling June a "former contestant"

June = odilia

[paper scroll]

June Odilia?

[shadow shore]

Hmm just read that one of June's birth flowers is the rose

[unique spruce]

think we should start checking out some of the names of things in vegas. argon = arvion for example

maybe throw that wrod in translator and see if it means something in latin

[remote basin]

there is a type of rose called the ophelia rose that represents love, purity and innocence, this could connect it to hamlet

[paper scroll]

isnt hamlet the one where the guy trying to escape his fate ends up doing it anyway? or is that othello?

[remote basin]

A lot of Shakespeare's plays are like that but I think so

[pure loom]

I fired off all the canons on Monaco in one round without dying - didn't seem to trigger anything

[shadow shore]

Nice thinking though

[cyan zinc]

D&L foundry is a real manhole cover manufacturer, their A-1360 model is the closest to what we see in game, also there is the A-1038 model (the text in the concrete next to the cover), it has no design on it except 25 stars.

Just spent a whole 15 minutes looking at various manhole covers

[unborn pilot]

There’s also two arrows with SO

12 o’clock and 9 o’clock

[pure loom]

I got 5th by looking for EEs. To be fair, I did bank $9K that appeared next to me

[pure loom]

Looks like faded spray paint - I'd assume it's probably real

[unborn pilot]

Might be SD for storm drain and yeah I’d assume it’s real then

[pure loom]

showing the direction of the exiting pipe

[unborn pilot]

Man these scans are so detailed.

[shadow shore]

Is there something next to the word "storm" too? Like a little rectangle

[cyan zinc]

There are markings directly to the left and right of the word STORM DRAIN looks like a box with two holes in it

[pulsar mason]

I found the original

The 1038 is not present anywhere, I think that’s a clue

[sand swan]

Hmm good to know

[empty solstice]

There's a cool easter egg going on right now where queing up for a game doesn't work

[sand swan]

Cool! Wonder what it means

[shadow shore]

I had the same problem only when I was in a party, I found a fix. I'm on console though 🥲

[late ingot]

Has anyone looked into Fibonacci? Golden ratio? The guy who created it, or popularized it rather, was from Pisa.

A lot of things reference Saturn or it's moons as well, are we missing something there?

[paper scroll]

the word and term gold has been used a bit in past puzzles oto

[pure loom]

Just noticed this little vase thing is in the shape of a gold egg

(on vegas, Glamora)

[shadow shore]

The moon on skyway stadium looks as if it has a bridge like formation coming from it. Can't post pics here but I have one. Also I think the whiteboards are now clearer, but I could be wrong

[pulsar mason]

Send to me if you want to

[shadow shore]

Sweet

[pulsar mason]

From @shadow shore

That’s weird as hell

Whiteboard definitely looks clearer

[opaque pulsar]

i think that might be a strut on the stadium idk tho weird never noticed

[shadow shore]

Yeah I did adjust my monitor since, so I wasn't sure haha

[shadow shore]

Could be, but it seems to only come from the one side I think?

[opaque pulsar]

tbh i never even noticed the moon on that map being so close

[shadow shore]

Yeah neither

@pulsar mason @opaque pulsar Does it look like it's mirroring the crane?

[opaque pulsar]

yeah that might be it

[paper scroll]

the box in red on the white board almost looks like a flow chart.

[pulsar mason]

Check for padlet for more info on where we think that connects to the ee

[pulsar mason]

It does, maybe it’s reflecting?

[unique spruce]

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

[shadow shore]

Maybe... I thought it may move with the crane. Can't get on to test right now though

[storm leaf]

has anyone noticed the typo with the missing L in deployable?

Depoyable explosives such as C4, Breach Charges and Explosive Mines will now add mass to throwable objects, causing them to travel less far when thrown  ```
depoyable
if someone said it already my bad im still scrolling through messages

[storm leaf]

i can't comment in the thread yet, but i had an idea
i noticed that the big building with the middle site in the middle of the map (the one that's a construction site with the crane), there are fabric tarps along the side of the building that you can shoot
i was wondering if it could be hidden behind one of those but i havent been able to check it

[shadow shore]

I'll let you know if I find anything, I'll go see now

[storm leaf]

gl 🫡 might take a while theres a lot of tarps

so glad we have solo bank it now

[shadow shore]

Okay checked a number of tarps and other related fabrics....nothing yet

[shadow shore]

Didn't get through them all

[storm leaf]

You know the meme with the miner giving up right before he hits a wall of diamonds

just one more tarp :D

I’m jk it could just not be there because so far the WRs have all been plainly visible

[shadow shore]

That's one tarp too many

[storm leaf]

fair enough

[shadow shore]

Nah I'll chip away at it when I get the map!

[pure loom]

We should looked for others! GOLDENEGG may be GODENEGG

[fresh quiver]

just did. I could be blind, but i don't see any missing characters else.

But would be nice if someone could recheck it again

[pure loom]

Me either.

[fresh quiver]

had our hopes up that they hid something again. but dont looks like it

[pure loom]

Now I wonder if previous patch notes had missing letters

I’ll work my way back

[pulsar mason]

Pretty sure this should say "Fixed a zip..."

[fresh quiver]

hm. could be. not sure

[limpid escarp]

I feel like b=2 makes sense from his clue "2 be or not 2b"

[limpid escarp]

We should tell embark the importance of not making typos. These things deteriorate sanities lol.

[fresh quiver]

could also be maybe group 2B in the PTE?

[pulsar swift]

although im reading but, is there some reward from solving it? it seems kinda pointless rn (without counting the fun obviously)

pls dont killme for that

[fresh quiver]

we dont know.

in other games there are rewards behind eastereggs, but if you will get anything? we dont even know aswell.

[limpid escarp]

Whats pte? Im not familiar

[coarse dagger]

Periodic table of elements

[fallen jasper]

If a person is happy but he has a big gyat he might be useful for agriculture.

[coarse dagger]

Seems pretty clear in @limpid yarrow's. Probably just a difference in scales.

[limpid escarp]

Ah, of course.

[fresh quiver]

Group IIB consisted of the three metals zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg), which have two s-electrons outside filled d-subshells. Moreover, none of their compounds have unfilled d-levels, and the metals are regarded as nontransition elements.

[fresh quiver]

Group 2B is number 12 in the new IUPAC

its also listed on the PTE which rob uses as 2B.
Sometimes the 2B is not shown on newer PTEs

[limpid yarrow]

This is where I got it from @coarse dagger

[velvet narwhal]

I used audacity for it

[paper prism]

If 2b or not 2b is the question.

What is the answer?

[remote basin]

I've been following along and seen multiple references to a golden egg, could this reference Hinduism in any way? In Hinduism Brahma was born from a golden egg

[plucky ridge]

We've went down that way a few times but never landed anything

I think T3 passwords thread has a handful and I know I tried some not in the list

It also 100% could be that but we're missing a cipher or something to translate it

[remote basin]

Has someone mentioned group 2b on the perioidic table is made of transition elements such as zinc cadium and mercury

[spiral flower]

Already mentioned yesterday

It’s the max allowable damage able to be shown in video games

Just due to code

This has probably been mentioned before, but I noticed this just now when inspecting the SA1216: it has a motto on it. "Alter, exploit, destroy": does anyone know what this connects to?

its at 0:16 in the newest trailer

think that has already mentioned here. But its not bad to get some things back in mind 🙂
but idk at the moment. would need to doublecheck.

[vapid mantle]

#easter-eggs message

but this is still interesting for me. There are characters/numbers on the gas canister 😄

[fallen jasper]

That reminds me, has anyone managed to get a screenshot of the behind of the Ospuze can charm? You should actually be able to read what it's made of

[robust meteor]

has anyonme else scanned the "holtow quote" sticker?

because i did and it took me to a website with the domain holtow.com but its just a flashing red circle

i would take a screenshot but i dont meet the lvl for it yet

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

[clear gate]

hey not that this has anything to do with the current easter egg but i died to fall damage and got this

if anyone wants to see it

weird amount of numbers like how much damage i took it was 32768

[robust meteor]

yeah i got the same

[clear gate]

huh

i wonder if its just like in the games code or if it has a specific number for a reason

[fresh quiver]

Thats the max number of a 16bit integer value

32,768 is a positive integer equal to (2^{15} = 2^{2^4 - 1}). It is notable in computer science for being the absolute value of the maximum negative value of a 16-bit signed integer, which spans the range [-32768, 32767].

just the max number of damage you can take falling down

[clear gate]

ah

welp there went that idea

sorry to waste time

[fresh quiver]

dont worry.

the search of discord has some great features to look for specific messages

example:

in: easter-eggs 32768

with that you would just search the channel eastereggs for "32768"

[clear gate]

alright, thanks

I believe it's just how the game in the world if the finals is played, but it could also be a double meaning, did you notice the second bit of text on the gun? It says "The finals Discovery corp."

[fallen jasper]

I found another spot where it's referenced: the game's Steam page.

"Join THE FINALS, the world-famous, free-to-play, combat-centered game show! Fight alongside your teammates in virtual arenas that you can alter, exploit, and even destroy. Build your own playstyle in this first-person shooter to win escalating tournaments and lasting fame."

[fallen jasper]

There's also a code on the gun, I'll cross reference it with any other gun codes I find and see if it means anything

Would be nice to have image perms to send what I find here but I'm not that active on Discord

[small onyx]

You can send images to people with image perms via DMs. :>

I did it once.

[worldly imp]

There also seems to be an overall push on fame and glory within the world of the finals, like it seems like everywhere word spoken by scotty or June or even just scriptures written in the game is about "fame" and winning. I read somewhere that the finals world is something like hunger games and this might not be the harmless virtual game everyone seems to think it is

[eager slate]

why theres a red X on the website for every tier?

[fallen jasper]

Noted!

[velvet narwhal]

Thats cause the tiers are completed. The current tier is a grey x

[fallen jasper]

In my thoughts so far, and this is also coming as a former competitive videogame player, it's just the over-exaggeration of the competitive factor. The more you can get people to be gripping their armrests and yelling in joy the better in a sport. Take the lyrics of the World's 2016 song, Ignite:

Everyone's watching through your eyes:
There's only two options win or die.
Your theory might be right, but I think it's just that competitive and 'show must be spectacular' fact

[eager slate]

oh ok thanks

[fallen jasper]

But hey, who knows, maybe it truly is a Hunger Games style gameshow and Ospuze is actually a recharge for a timer of a ticking bomb inside every competitor kekw

[unique spruce]

Rob recently posted a blueprint for the cashout box in a non EE thread. he seemed very enthusiastic to share the color code. #F7BB2B (as in, 2b, or not 2b). The Finals lettering on it is also sort of eggshell colored #1190743499151253644 message

the intermediate color between the 2 would be #eed18a

[limpid yarrow]

however he also said this in fan works also #1190743499151253644 message

actually in the same fan work

[unique spruce]

with a 'hehe' though. he's done that before in things that sketchily seem hint-like

[late ingot]

Scotty and June are listed as sponsor of the games, so I imagine they would constantly shill and propagandize while on the mic.

[limpid yarrow]

yeah but wouldnt that be missleadin gthe ee hunters when we replys with essentially no

[fallen jasper]

I should send my curriculum to Embark and become the voice of a host in The Finals™, what could go wrong

im exploring the link between vit3llus and viold, because t1-f + t1-f-1 suggest they relate. we know how evivi (t1-def) relates to 1d+1e+1f, but not how viold relates to vit3llus, t1-f-1 + t1-f

[fallen jasper]

We need the funi jarate color

[unique spruce]

Aulus Vitellius (15–69 AD) was a Roman emperor for eight months, from April 19 to December 20, 69 AD.
He was the third emperor during "The Year of the Four Emperors".
Vitellius was known for his love of gaming and other vices

Aulus Vit3llius. gaming.

[whole lagoon]

Imma be honest with you, I have no idea what that is

[unique spruce]

https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Jarate

Ahhh

Got it

Damn these Easter eggs go deep

This is fun

[fallen jasper]

If you need any help with Latin/Italian, I can help with that, hit me with a ping if you do

[unique spruce]

noted!

do you know of any anagram solver online that uses latin?

i couldnt find any

[fallen jasper]

I can give it a shot

[unique spruce]

for example, i wanted to find any latin words that contain the letters "violdevivi"

[fallen jasper]

Immediately I notice Vivi, which is a name, and technically vivus means alive

But if I look at it more from a renaissance type Italian, I see Viola de Vivi, or "Violet of the Living"

[unique spruce]

looks like vitellius was mentioned before by @coarse dagger, no reacts. dead end. #easter-eggs message

[fallen jasper]

What's the base we're going off of here? I need context

[unique spruce]

1 sec ill grab the last summary i wrote up that i thought was decent

[fallen jasper]

Sounds good

[unique spruce]

#easter-eggs message

^ i edited it just a second ago lol

[median ibex]

Ill mention this since i didnt see it anywhere and want to try to contribute, but the two images of the question marks, QUES being gold and tion being egg shell white, match how QUEStion is emphasized in the iambic pentameter of hamlets to be or not to be. Maybe Gold is emphasized?

[fallen jasper]

Has someone already run the page through an inspect?

[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)

[fallen jasper]

Viol de Vivi

Vi, olde vivi?

Throwing out ideas, if anything helps let me know

[unique spruce]

the password would have no spaces, all lower case, and only standard ascii characters

[fallen jasper]

Fair

[unique spruce]

in one of the recent patch notes, there were bolded letters throughout that spell goldenegg, which makes sense if you add gold + egg (you get a golden egg)

but we're just stuck on what to do with that

[fallen jasper]

Random connection, but Viola de Vivo is a minister for cultural heritage and activities and tourism here in Italy

That somewhat connects to the concept I've seen earlier of historical Roman figures

[fallen jasper]

You crack it open at the right temperature to get a good meal

[unique spruce]

lol

[velvet narwhal]

Fun Fact: The Finals was internally called Project Discovery

[unique spruce]

if you can think of/find any other translations of golden egg to latin, please share. we've tried all kinds of: aurum ovum, ovum aureum, etc, using google translate

[fallen jasper]

Yeah that's basic translations

[turbid tinsel]

Makes me think of Vivaldi

[fallen jasper]

Wait a sec

[turbid tinsel]

specifically this song, https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IxJFydHLzr8&si=GxeZZvaxOCUr25uX

[fallen jasper]

The goose that laid the golden eggs

Of Aesop

The tale has given rise to the idiom 'killing the goose that lays the golden eggs', which refers to the short-sighted destruction of a valuable resource, or to an unprofitable action motivated by greed.

Anyone got any thoughts on that?

[turbid tinsel]

never got eyes

[fallen jasper]

Destruction is key in The Finals, and you do do it without second thought once you're used to it

But Holtow proves these are things which can have value

Is this too much of a stretch or am I onto something?

[turbid tinsel]

we threw that around before and it never received eyes

[velvet narwhal]

Now that i think about it, howltow is probably selling NFTs...

Just got here. Watched a video on it. What's our biggest lead

[unique spruce]

The hex code for gold is #ffd700. this hex code is made up of 100% red, 84.3% green, and 0% blue
Eggshell is a pale yellow-green shade of white with the hex code #F0EAD6
Eggshell White has the hex code #F9FEFF

[plucky edge]

How long can the password be?

[velvet narwhal]

max 30

[plucky edge]

It would be nice if they had a separate chat to look at just pictures that they have give us

[gloomy anvil]

Right now our main leads are

• Gold and Egg (Golden Egg)
• Latin
• 666
• G=6 (?)
• Five truths throughout this level, combined make the password
• Two common threads throughout this level

My personal excel sheets is just mad, numbers, latin and eggs everywhere

i can't find the missing thing

666 must be the fact there's ggg

[unique spruce]

have we used this method on more recent images?

T1_F contains: 87 clues pointing to:
Yellow
Yolk
Mirrored/Flipped
Latin
Three (3)

And:
5 Clues hinting on future maps
2 Clues to diamond clues

[valid lichen]

maybe the practice range images have something hiding in them

[pulsar mason]

Yep Rob eyed starting in the practice range

We haven’t figured out what’s there yet

[valid lichen]

yeah i saw people were looking in the range and havent found anything yet

[hasty anvil]

Running around the park using the help expression repeatedly does nothing sadly

[unique spruce]

high pitch, black, day, night, things ive gone through and seen rob repeated 3x

Elements such as sulfur and chlorine react with the other metals in gold jewelry, causing it to corrode and turn black

high-pitch = ultrasonic

like beyond 32,768hz

ultrasonic helps verify the authenticity of gold

based on the wave reflections

i believe ultra and sonic are both latin words, can you confirm @fallen jasper ?

[hasty anvil]

Do we need ray tracing lol

I had a little look in the floors reflections cause maybe something appeared in reflection but not real world

Didn’t spot anything. But didn’t check too well

[valid lichen]

maybe ray tracing on something gold

i can help with that maybe

[unique spruce]

32768 Hzis an extremely high frequency that we hear as a humming sound. It is also known as the “sound barrier”. It is the highest frequency that humans can perceive. A positive number equal to (215 = 224 – 1) is 32,768. Being the absolute value of the highest possible negative value for a 16-bit signed integer that covers the following range makes it noteworthy in the field of computer science.

[fallen jasper]

It would actually be 32767

[valid lichen]

oh yay im orange now

[unique spruce]

motion sensors use ultrasonic waves

ultrasonic waves can also help with imaging

(motion sensors to reveal the hidden namatama or whatever object it is we're looking for)

[valid lichen]

interesting

maybe in the practice range

[remote basin]

Another translation of the marble statue would be come and see me play is there a statue of on the mape

[limpid escarp]

Maybe more spectograms are the way to go?

[shadow shore]

I was doing some of this too in the PR, using the inspect emote on any tablet gadgets, thought you might be able to see something on its screen haha... Nothing so far

[valid lichen]

so you know how i said this

i was thinking

another gold egg is the image of practice in the level select

it is quite literally a golden egg

[spring herald]

I found a dog Easter egg in the first trailer of the finals "The Finals announcement"

[sharp flame]

Think that's Frank, the pug, right? hahaha

[spring herald]

Dunno

[sharp flame]

looks like this?

[valid lichen]

awww

[spring herald]

Yp

[spring herald]

It does

[sharp flame]

Aha I see, yeah that was caught, thanks for checking!

was an old one

[spring herald]

Yp

[hard current]

hm

I wonder if we could identify the plants in the park in the practice arena.. maybe that would lead us somewhere?

[valid lichen]

potted plants?

[hard current]

mm there’s only a couple potted and they’re by the house in the practice arena

[velvet narwhal]

someone once mentioned a unique flower which is near the building.

[valid lichen]

its the only golden egg that i have seen in game at least

[velvet narwhal]

I didnt find the message but this is an image of it.

These are the only types of flowers that i found in the park

(and of course the roses on the bench)

[hard current]

hm.. rob said we’re back at the beginning..

the “with love” emote also says for those who have been here since the beginning

[remote basin]

there are roses in the practice area that you can pick up

[velvet narwhal]

'the beginning' is T1A

or level 1

[hard current]

question as well for those on console with vibration on, have you guys noticed every now and then in the practice arena you get a random rumble?

[hard current]

yes rob eyed that BUT said it’s not part of this EE hehe

it does something there’s a reason but nobody knows

[shadow shore]

I don't have vibration on usually, but I may turn it on if you're getting them randomly?'

[remote basin]

what if we have to present it to something, like the mannaqins at the beginning section

[velvet narwhal]

haven't really noticed anything yet.

[remote basin]

what if we throw the roses at the targets, im grasping at straws here

theres just enough

nm

[velvet narwhal]

this has been already tried

holding it near walls as well

i also tried planting them in the small garden near the building

[hard current]

potentially, I’ve tried that but

[remote basin]

man am i late to the party

why does only one part of the sign get glitchy when you shoot it in the practice arena

[velvet narwhal]

what sign?

[remote basin]

the big one on the side of the building

[velvet narwhal]

it gets broken where you damage it

[shadow shore]

Just damage I've found, it has different levels of glitching before it breaks completely

[remote basin]

yeah but only one of them will get glitchy for me

ig thats just me

[velvet narwhal]

the sign is a 3x3 grid of screens and you can damage each screen individually

[remote basin]

yeah only one of the squares will go glitchy, no matter how mush i shoot the otheres they wont do it, i think its just a bug for me

[velvet narwhal]

ok weird

[shadow shore]

I still find it weird that stray bullets from the bots can shoot from random trajectories... when you're not even close to them, or in their line of sight

[velvet narwhal]

yeah it makes me feel like i'm hearing/seeing things

[shadow shore]

One looked like a shooting star for me even haha, I clipped it a few days ago

[remote basin]

for some reason the bots outlines show up on my screen when i melee the screen

[shadow shore]

the blue ones?

[remote basin]

the red ones i think

[shadow shore]

Hmm I can see the blue ones at all times but not the red, that's weird

[remote basin]

yeah they only show up for a second after i melee

theres some weird scrape marks on the walls that look like a bird

i cant send a screenshot tho so

[velvet narwhal]

dm me

[storm leaf]

uterus

[shadow shore]

It's like the only one on the white walls thats dark

[remote basin]

yeah, looks like a bird or a tpose

[shadow shore]

I've spent so much time in the PR recently, I don't know what there is left to try

[remote basin]

lol rn im blowing up boxes

my new goal is to blow up everything that can be destroyed

[knotty warren]

The red ones are scarlet flowers I believe

The whites are Mariposa Lilly's

[clever crescent]

The red and white look like helianthemums

[fresh quiver]

hydrangea its named as far as i remember.

In real life there is also a hydrangea called "Hydrangea magical candle" as rob once said light a candle"

[valid lichen]

have there been any spottings of any golden eggs in game?

[knotty warren]

Have the developers said they've hidden something

[shadow shore]

Rockhound found a gold egg shaped vase type thing, on Las Vegas map. Looks a lot like a gold egg

[velvet narwhal]

Thanks guys

[knotty warren]

What about if the coordinates indicate Golden Egg. So you have to follow the compass to the exact location representing Golden Egg ?

Just a thought.

[remote basin]

what are the coords?

[velvet narwhal]

there's something hidden in the practice range

[knotty warren]

Does the practice range have that compus in your last image?

[remote basin]

i still think it has to do with the roses

[velvet narwhal]

There is something with the roses, but its not for the main EE Hunt: #easter-eggs message

[knotty warren]

Try work out the moss code of Golden Egg and follow the compass

[shadow shore]

Rob definitely said the roses are for something, but "won't help us out with the Big EE hunt"

[gloomy anvil]

There are golden namatamas (eggs) on las vegas

[remote basin]

what if theres a secret way to spin the machine

[gloomy anvil]

They're all iterations of the same golden namatama with a ring/halo

[knotty warren]

I'm going to jump on this and find it

[knotty warren]

5 eggs

2,4,6,1,6

[fresh quiver]

as of robs statement. yes. There is a hint/clue somewhere ingame waiting for us

[knotty warren]

Can someone check if 2,4,6,1,6 shows on compass

[remote basin]

How many of these machines are there

[gloomy anvil]

This clue is still obviously intriguing me

the only theory I have so far is that the practice range NamaTama holds a notepad, which would typically use lined paper.

[gloomy anvil]

dozens

[velvet narwhal]

too many

[remote basin]

I meant with this specific screen

[velvet narwhal]

a whole building in vegas is filled with them

[gloomy anvil]

all of them use that screen

[remote basin]

Oh

Huh I could have sworn I saw something different

[velvet narwhal]

There are 3 different slot machine types in vegas. Each one in a different building

[remote basin]

Gotchu

[knotty warren]

I'll work it out

Eventually

[valid lichen]

what is that an image of?

[velvet narwhal]

those are cosmetics that you were able to unlock in the closed beta

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message
#easter-eggs message

[valid lichen]

ah

so in the beginning

[shadow shore]

Now that the white board is clearer after the update, maybe there's something we can work out?

[gloomy anvil]

some of the Eternal Rest machines have an Egyptian Pharoah at the top, it might be on all of them tbh I haven't checked enough

I doubt it's relevant to T3

[valid lichen]

also the image of the practice range is technically a golden egg

[fresh quiver]

just to have the links to the messages about the ingame clue and practice range here 🙂

[gloomy anvil]

Indeed

[knotty warren]

Are we looking for the Easter egg only in practice mode?

[gloomy anvil]

There was a clue a while back that involved some writing on the practice range Tama's notepad, I need to look into it more but I don't recall its relevance to any previous tiers.

[remote basin]

That's what I'm doing

[storm leaf]

I like how it winks at you when you hover over it

[velvet narwhal]

those three messages are the main reason why we think that its in the practice range: #easter-eggs message

Other than that it could also be in Monaco since it has a park and there are candles in the cathdral.
And we are also looking for White Rabbits on Seoul

[gloomy anvil]

Found it, one of the DEF tiers

[remote basin]

What does Rob mean by have a friend light it for you

[velvet narwhal]

Namatamas are called friends

or he literally means a second player

[remote basin]

So what if we set some candles aflame with the namatama Keychain on the flamethrower

[velvet narwhal]

Then we'd have to find unlit candles, in monaco's cathedral are lit candles maybe you can put them out

anyway it's time to turn into a . may fortune follow you on the hunt

[remote basin]

Ok see you

[fresh quiver]

Same here

Gn8 hunters 🙂

[valid lichen]

are you able to go into the practice range with 2 people

[shadow shore]

Nah it locks out

[valid lichen]

ok

[shadow shore]

Hmm I hooked up a 2nd controller, but it just controls the 1 character

[valid lichen]

when rob was talking about "where we started" could it have related to the beta and the beta has that golden egg and that golden egg is also in las vegas

[shadow shore]

I don't think the las vegas map was in the beta from memory

[knotty warren]

It wasn't

[shadow shore]

But if the beta is still accessible, or specifically the PR at least, maybe that version has something we missed. I need to redownload it

[knotty warren]

I don't think we can access it anymore

Worth a try though

[shadow shore]

I'll tell you in 23 mins

[knotty warren]

That's a very specific time lol

[unique spruce]

#246160 is a teal

[shadow shore]

Haha that's the download time...for 6gb. Rip

[knotty warren]

As in colour green?

[gloomy anvil]

there must be some super obvious connection between things we already know to solve T3...

[valid lichen]

we need hint

[gloomy anvil]

we got a bunch of hints from Rob a few days ago but didn't really get anywhere with them (yet)

[knotty warren]

246160 is teal which is greenish blue what's also considered blue and green aliens. What fly's in The Finals UFO and what do the green in discord represent Finalists

My guess it's something to do with the UFO

Maybe the music is a hint to something as well

When the UFO comes

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message is rob referencing a specific mode here rather than mood like we assumed

[gloomy anvil]

Nothing in-game is needed to solve T3, it started before release and we already have everything we need, but it's possible a hint was added since we're taking a while.

[valid lichen]

maybe we are thinking to hard

[turbid tinsel]

Probably the case as were the last 2 passwords.

[shadow shore]

Well beta idea is ruled out, no access

[valid lichen]

you can use discord search to search rob_embark

[pulsar mason]

On that date, the Spanish government gave a formal burial to Miguel de Cervantes (author of Don Quixote) even though he died in 1616

It’s the worlds first modern novel

Also one of the greatest works ever written

[knotty warren]

If they are actual clues. They need to be pinned

[coarse dagger]

The game Inscryption used lights on the dualsense controller and rumble to hide clues for its ARG.
Anyone on console sould be sure to keep an eye on those in THE FINALS!

[light dock]

Trying to catch up is an Easter egg hunt in itself lol reading thru threads rn 😅

[shadow shore]

Could the three colours on the whiteboard represent the 3 levels off the EE

Red, blue and black

[valid lichen]

interesting idea

[limpid yarrow]

i mean they probs would if we could

but we have threads for them so info are in there as well as well as a excel shrrt of eyes msgs

May be stupid but didn't Blizzcon start on November 6th 2015

Ok I'll go actually wake up with some tea, let me know if I helped or if I'm an idiot

[gloomy anvil]

our best lead for that date is the Nov 6th 2015 NYT crossword #easter-eggs message

[pulsar mason]

Brilliant

Aesop is related

[fallen jasper]

I CALLED IT

AESOP

I TOLD YOU IT WAS THAT

[fallen jasper]

^

Alright so we've found a connection to ancient literature for lack of better terms

[fallen jasper]

Where did we get this from?

Mainly the last two

[gloomy anvil]

2015-11-06 is the creation date for the T3 images

666 has been sprinkled around in a few places. It's the RGB value of the gold question mark image and the w/h dimensions of a recent Rob image

[limpid yarrow]

wait has t3 been sovlved

[gloomy anvil]

no

[limpid yarrow]

ah i just sore anwser everywehere and was like wait

[fallen jasper]

What was the basis for the passwords again

[pulsar mason]

This crossword issue #666 has Aesop as an answer too

[gloomy anvil]

more like Anser (not giving up on that lead)

[fallen jasper]

Ok so, I got a tangent

May be stupid but bear with me here

We're talking 666 and gold, correct?

[keen seal]

@fallen jaspertyty

[fallen jasper]

1 Kings 10:14 says, "the weight of gold which Solomon received every year was 666 talents of gold, besides what came from tradesmen, from the traffic of the merchants, and from all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the regions."

[fallen jasper]

Anytime lad

[hasty anvil]

Just gonna throw a thought out, E=3 was a flipped clue, so what if we need i=! Or golden egg = egg golden. Egg golden would satisfy the 666 clue

Golden egg with subs becomes 60ld3n 366, or 36660ld3n/ 3666ld3n

[neat crypt]

Wrong chat buddy

[fallen jasper]

Ok but have we stopped and analyzed the actual story yet or is that a job for me?

[limpid yarrow]

or is it A = 26 🤞
