easter-eggs

[valid lichen]

i feel like at this point the nama would need to be activated in some way to spawn

[rich grove]

anyone bought the contam set? the inspect is too far away lol

[hearty meteor]

are there mirrors in vegas

monaco lets go

[tired moat]

There seems to be quite a bit of stuff about rats, like on Vegas they have posters of some sort of rat

[hearty meteor]

thats a reference to a band iirc

[tired moat]

Ahh, okay

[hearty meteor]

teh cannon doesnt wanna move

[valid lichen]

hmmm

vegas again🥗🥗

skyway

[hearty meteor]

didnt manage to move the cannons

i'll try hammer next

i tried c4, mines and goo

[valid lichen]

interesting

i remember moving the cannon in some way

[hearty meteor]

also tried pressing f

[valid lichen]

i might be wrong because it was in the middle of the round

[hearty meteor]

i didnt expect it to work but lol

monaco again lets go

[valid lichen]

seoul😭😭😭

i got every map except monaco

[hearty meteor]

lmao

now get every variant

[tired moat]

The real question is how many people are needed to set off the EE

[rich grove]

I get the feeling they added the barcode as a hq sticker because the original one was too blurry to decode

this one still doesnt scan but def looks like it can be manually decoded

[valid lichen]

seoul again

[shadow shore]

Can confirm you can't hurt yourself with the cannon. Standing in front of it then activating it, just goes though you

[hearty meteor]

yep tried taht too

[valid lichen]

so is the cannon like stuck to the floor no way to move it?

[hearty meteor]

also the statue at the well is destroyable

seems so

[valid lichen]

monaco finally

yayyy

[rich grove]

@gloomy anvil https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1199755408588415016

[hearty meteor]

these lights are so fuckiong annoying let me inspect the map >:(

[valid lichen]

real

we need egg hunt mode

[hearty meteor]

is there only one statue

[valid lichen]

this one is unbreakable

[hearty meteor]

ok intersting

i tried to do smth to this one and then i got killed

it is destructible

[earnest wagon]

This is a real sculpture.

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-loving-couple-embraces-monument-in-the-park-118752510.html?imageid=47D57602-57E9-49D6-B136-B3CF54696072&p=327257&pn=8&searchId=e438322046181bc8db073f0d201d3220&searchtype=0

[hearty meteor]

where is it

irl

[earnest wagon]

Trying to find that out now.

Possibly near the Royal Palace in Monaco

[hearty meteor]

well that makes sense

[gloomy anvil]

Ty!!

[shadow shore]

So thought this looks like the perfect spot for a passage...found nothing, except what's the yellow stuff?

[earnest wagon]

Better image:

[valid lichen]

confetti?

is that what happens when the cashout dissapears?

[hearty meteor]

wow those graphics

wait whats the second gadget

[shadow shore]

Maybe confetti, didn't see a cashout there the whole time. I was lurking in the shrubs

[hearty meteor]

never seen taht

is that zipline?

[shadow shore]

ye

[hearty meteor]

ah ok

never used it lol

seoul

hmmm

i'll check under the bridge

waiut

youre in the game rn

we have a squad

[hasty anvil]

hitting the yellow stuff makes a weird metal noise too

[shadow shore]

It's my EE hunting build, to get around quick haha

[earnest wagon]

The sculpture is called Invitation. Wasn't that the name for the first level of the TFEE?

[hearty meteor]

smarat

[shadow shore]

It leads right into the imaginary door it looks like haha, that's why the arch intrigued me

[earnest wagon]

"This sculpture called Invitation, by the Dutch artist and sculptor, Kees Verkade, stands in the Jardin Saint-Martin on Le Rocher."

[timid solstice]

The C0mmence

[earnest wagon]

Ah that was it, must be imagining The Invitation - or getting it mixed up with something else.

[hearty meteor]

a window left under the skybridge at the hospital side

[valid lichen]

can you break it?

[hearty meteor]

oh its unbreakable cuz youre not supposed to be here

rip

[valid lichen]

getting closer

[hearty meteor]

wdym

[valid lichen]

getting closer to finding it

[hearty meteor]

ah

also i checked the skybridge in spec mode

nothing directly under it it seems

[valid lichen]

rip

[hearty meteor]

wait i wanted to host a squad

for the cannons

fire all of them at the saem time

@shadow shore you got time?

[hearty meteor]

what map is this

skyway or monaco?

[shadow shore]

Mon

[hearty meteor]

where on the map approx?

[shadow shore]

Hmm

one of two parks

[shadow shore]

the North park?

[hearty meteor]

got it

[shadow shore]

And I got time but there's more than 3 cannons

[hearty meteor]

no cashout ever spawned here and there is confetti

[hearty meteor]

wait really

should've picked heavy ajfofjaf

but throwing a red prop at it did nothing

[shadow shore]

2 yeah near a fountain, one facing the water, another facing out of map and maybe even another I can't be sure from memory though

[hearty meteor]

right

[shadow shore]

follow the confetti?

[hearty meteor]

not sure if it leads anywhere

there is a bunch next to it

[shadow shore]

Yeah weird

[hearty meteor]

furthest spot ifound

[rich grove]

there are piles all over the place. I came to the conclusion its just an asset

[hearty meteor]

yeah same

they dont seem to point anywhere

[rich grove]

not just in the park, either. all over the map

[shadow shore]

Ahhh

Damn I wish there was a hidden door haha

[shadow shore]

Yep 5 cannons

[hearty meteor]

damn

[rich grove]

with a squad you could try blowing all the generators

[hearty meteor]

true

if you're up for that lmk

@valid lichen you too

[shadow shore]

I could but I should also sleep soon as it's 3:30am and I'm somewhat delirious

[hearty meteor]

you should probably sleep

also i checked if i could blow up that place with the confetti, and the answer was no

[sharp flame]

bro what graphics settings are those 💀💀

[hearty meteor]

thats irl

[earnest wagon]

DLSS LIES

[hearty meteor]

i currently have no idea where to search for what

hmm

rob did say something about monaco

[shadow shore]

I keep getting Vegas during the day, not a constellation in sight

[shadow shore]

The only thing we don't have any leads to look for things in-game is Skyway really. I think

[hearty meteor]

hmnm

[valid lichen]

I'm back

Any new discoveries?

[velvet narwhal]

Hi back, I'm dad

[valid lichen]

hahahahahahahaahhhahahaha

[vivid jay]

still doing this?

[chilly stream]

did anyone scan the new bar code at the store?

[vivid jay]

or this

[vivid jay]

someone did it online nothing showed up

[chilly stream]

i got the code

[vivid jay]

huh

[chilly stream]

52516931

[shadow shore]

Nah

[hushed beacon]

what do we do with the code now?

[chilly stream]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just saw that no one has written it here

[vivid jay]

where are they from?

[hushed beacon]

there must be a place where we could input it at

[chilly stream]

from the store in a new bundle

[vivid jay]

which one+

[hushed beacon]

if found the the place to input the code but it didnt work so we need to try again

[chilly stream]

tidy inventory set

[vivid jay]

there are blurred letters with "T3" in front of them in that set

considering we are on T3 atm thats kinda sus

[hushed beacon]

we havent ulocked T3 yet

[chilly stream]

Uh this may sound weird, but i rescanned the code and it changed

[hushed beacon]

what did it give you this time

[vivid jay]

tier 3 is the one we dont have the password for yeah?

[hushed beacon]

yes

[vivid jay]

let me send u smth in dms banana i cant send images here 😦

[chilly stream]

nevermind idk what happened on the third time, he's back

[hard current]

it’s tough to guess what we’re looking for in skyway

we know there’s a constellation and nama in vegas

wrs in seoul

monkey in monaco

tough though because the wr’s aren’t special to this tier

but the other ones are

[vivid jay]

what does wrs stand for

[fresh quiver]

a closeup from the single not lid Candle Holder in the cathedral. shot by @hot rock

Very interesting for me that it also resembles flowers

[fresh quiver]

#1197268508623515849

[valid lichen]

throw pyro nade

[hot rock]

imma try that now

[valid lichen]

oki

[fresh quiver]

also throwing a lid candle holder to it,. or try light it with that

[hot rock]

will do

[pure loom]

There’s one in pocket park facing down the street

I think it hits buildings part way along

[gloomy anvil]

this might be the one I fired earlier, blew a hole right through one

[hard forge]

does it make sense for me to look in game at 1080p at the lowest setting ??? (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

[gloomy anvil]

here's another cannon that hits a building, one of the fountain ones probs #medium-build-main message

[hasty anvil]

White rabbits and graffiti appear at lowest setting for me, so i feel important things will always show

[hard forge]

yay

[hot rock]

doing anything with a candle holder does nothing

[velvet narwhal]

really? have you checked everything on monaco?

[hasty anvil]

Just got vegas night, really weird light beam by this observation tower, it's the only one on the outside of the map

[velvet narwhal]

Could it be this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxor_Las_Vegas

[velvet narwhal]

Looks like a cube here and not like a pyramid

[upper jolt]

theres easter eggs

what

[hot rock]

doing anything on the unlit candle holder with it in the cathedral, yes

[valid lichen]

ive been there irl

[hasty anvil]

Does Rutile hotel mean anything?

[acoustic canyon]

Did you see a nama?

[snow walrus]

Rutile is CEO of Holtow

[valid lichen]

[hasty anvil]

This is south of fremont street

[hard forge]

in vegas right

[hasty anvil]

yeah

looking towards the ray of light shows that very far away

it's the only light source outside the vegas map, it really stands out

[gaunt agate]

anybody notice that when you die to falling out of the map it does a specific number of damage every time?

Its like 32 thousand 700 something

[grand panther]

I think it’s 32763

[cloud wyvern]

sort of off topic but i just got some knick knacks from my late aunt including her collection of slot machine tokens including some luxor ones from 1993

[velvet narwhal]

What direction does the compass show?

[hasty anvil]

South

So it's near the STRAT observation tower

That's the towers name in real life

[hard forge]

that's fishy

[gaunt agate]

I spent over a day finding all the cannons and firing them and when I did nothing super noticible happened

[fresh quiver]

Its 32768 to be exact.

Thats the maximum 16bit interger value
it means nothing afaik

[cloud wyvern]

ah man i cant link photos of my cool tokens

[gaunt agate]

Oh that makes sense

[cloud wyvern]

anyway i agree with that beam of light in vegas probably just being the luxor

[hasty anvil]

It could be the Luxor it does line up

[cloud wyvern]

https://i.imgur.com/m9EToNn.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/OIh85Wu.jpg

[hasty anvil]

Top circle is our map (fremont street), the tower is middle circle (STRAT), lowest circle is Luxor

[cloud wyvern]

getting these right around when this game came out felt very synchronistic.

[hasty anvil]

That's pretty cool 😮

[cloud wyvern]

just a few of the many i got

[fresh quiver]

does that lineup?
#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

hahaha im not sure

maybe if we flip it

that would be nice

[gloomy anvil]

I don't know anything about Las Vegas irl but Pharaoh is a running theme in the casinos too

[hasty anvil]

I think Rob was hinting yesterday we need to use this technique again, but i don't know how to do it

[fresh quiver]

normal for slots

[hard forge]

yes I think I saw a pharoah in mirror in aminotimportant

[gloomy anvil]

I don't even know what A and B are in this context

need to do my reading

[velvet narwhal]

The 4 number pairs in the corners could be coordinates on the image.

[gloomy anvil]

good shout

[velvet narwhal]

Draw 2 lines through them and you have a X

[cloud wyvern]

https://i.imgur.com/T1o3ryb.jpg

I need to carry these around with me IRL so if somebody decides to murder me I will explode into a shower of coins like a contestant

thanks for letting me derail about my coins. i am still looking for WRs.

[cloud wyvern]

me at the 7-11 when i try to sneak out with a bag of skittles

[snow walrus]

i don't understand this cross thing, anyone enlighten me?

[hasty anvil]

i'm trying to learn how to do this, but if anyone's a ps mastermind you might be quicker than me

[hasty anvil]

errrrr

[gloomy anvil]

not a ps mastermind but here's the coordinates

[velvet narwhal]

:(

[gloomy anvil]

I was so confident in that theory

it makes so much sense

maybe there's another way to look at it

[hasty anvil]

It still looks interesting

[gloomy anvil]

maybe the point of convergence is a special coordinate itself

[hasty anvil]

It was a good idea at least

This idea too, there must be somewhere to apply it this tier since Rob brought us back to it

[velvet narwhal]

We need someone who knows how this was done.

[snow walrus]

where those lines and letters come from and why crossed on egg

[gloomy anvil]

the cross on Nama is a clue to the inside of an egg, yolk

*was a clue

[snow walrus]

ohhh it's original image u mean

[rotund elbow]

Gold watch has a club on the face
https://imgur.com/aKpf66P
And there are flowers found in these golden egg shaped pots
https://imgur.com/g6VVS6q

[snow walrus]

i thought was edited version

[quiet moat]

Bruh

[gloomy anvil]

oh I think it is edited, I was just explaining them being on the egg

[cloud wyvern]

feathers & flowers looks like

[quiet moat]

Guys have you guys seen the text on the wall that said did you pray today?

[snow walrus]

..... LOL im curious how it ended like that

[hasty anvil]

?

[quiet moat]

You know the did you pray today Easter egg?

[hasty anvil]

errr no what's that?

[jade citrus]

Not this Templar guy again

I guess his mute ran out

[hasty anvil]

Oh i recognise the name

[quiet moat]

I never got muted wdym

[quiet moat]

Cuz if you didn’t. Imma have to put you thud down on some thud gangsta shiit thud

[quiet moat]

Why are we crossing out a kneepad

[gloomy anvil]

I think it was an unsolved clue, I wasn't around back then but I don't see it on the wiki, and Rob was teasing hunters with the clues they missed. Don't quote me on it tho.

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message this guy now i recognise him...

[quiet moat]

Silly rob

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[quiet moat]

Lmao

[velvet narwhal]

The x clue isn't on the padlet btw

[quiet moat]

Are you guys still crying

[hasty anvil]

The X clue I think Rob gave us because no one figured it out

[quiet moat]

That was like a month ago?

[gloomy anvil]

yeah #easter-eggs message

[snow walrus]

no we are just biased now

[hasty anvil]

true, maybe you've grown up since then 🙂

[hard forge]

I see a new name

[quiet moat]

Nah I still hate weebs

[snow walrus]

thanks i'll look and play with it

[quiet moat]

But what can you do

Has rob eyeballed anything

[civic trellis]

Not to my knowledge

[quiet moat]

I don’t get this X thing but apparently it’s relevant to x’s in eggs

[hasty anvil]

Yeah i don't either, it's something to do with overlaying the mirrored image of itself I think, which then points to a key part of the image

[quiet moat]

You get the x when you overlay the images

[snow walrus]

he says previous image

[quiet moat]

Something to do with yolk

[hasty anvil]

looks like a door in one of the arches i swear

the texture doesn't line up

[hearty meteor]

yeah we investigated that earlier

doesnt blow up

[quiet moat]

I don’t see it

I don’t think they would add secret locations on the maps but I may be wrong

Except on top of the duck on the church map

I still have to find a way to get up there

Might use the goo gun

[rotund elbow]

it was pointing to the center of the egg, which was yolk. you then needed to find the latin word for it and replace letters for roman numerals. for the sixth password in teir 1

[quiet moat]

So it’s solved?

[timid heron]

Pretty much

[rotund elbow]

yes but that was the reason why, how it should have been done wasnt worked out, rob told us about it.
and the reason rob told us "could" be because we could use the same method to find other clues somewhere else

[opal marten]

I do think there’s something going on with the constellations

and on vegas

but the sphere doesn’t have it

I don’t think

[hasty anvil]

He also said he used the technique 3 times so far, so maybe it's used this tier too

[opal marten]

anyone try the thermal on the dome yet?

[velvet narwhal]

I updated the eyes https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=411951774

We didn't miss any

[hasty anvil]

With the 2 '?', official art or Caesar tama

So most recent eyes are 'Veni Vidi Vici' , Jocelyn Bell Burnell and practise range

and EOY - OYE

[opal marten]

what are you talking about? I missed it

eyes?

[acoustic canyon]

Rob puts 👀 as a reaction on messages to point us in the right direction

[rotund elbow]

other than the roses, canon and cranes, is there anything else unique in the maps that you can interact with?

[hasty anvil]

All i can think is buttons aside from those

He knows that can happen, so he only eyes 100% connecting things

[velvet narwhal]

Its not really unique but there are fans in the office buildings that constantly blow. I think they are on Skyway Stadium

[fresh quiver]

reacting to own posts is just wow

[velvet narwhal]

Yes he is surely trying to pace us

[fresh quiver]

reacting to his own posts is just like shaking his own hand lol

[snow walrus]

oh so you are still same like 1 MONTH AGO?

[fresh quiver]

just say when 🤔

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message @rapid mango he's back

[fresh quiver]

@fallen jasper we need some Justice here

[hasty anvil]

Come back next month try again

[snow walrus]

ROB does NOT lies and we talked about this 1 month ago as you mention about how we crying because of this

[fresh quiver]

yea just meant that already were ready to tag justice

[fallen jasper]

Templar you don't need to come in here and start aruging with people.

These guys know the hunt and how it operates better than you do. Have no right to come here and start telling them rob is misleading them

[snow walrus]

you are still misleading and insist

[hasty anvil]

It's not an idea, it's going against fact, it's delusional haha

[snow walrus]

we call this speculation

[fallen jasper]

It is misleading when your idea is wrong and goes against a literal year of reality

He doesn't eyeball things unless it's on the path to the answer.

[opal marten]

someone should just time him out man he’s just starting shit for no reason

bro needs a nap and a snack

[fresh quiver]

imagine discussing with a CM

[fallen jasper]

I've been part of this hunt since it started last October. IF anyone here has an idea of how Rob operates it's gonna be me, and he doesn't mislead.

[opal marten]

dude why would the guy in charge of the egg hunt mislead us?

[fallen jasper]

Believe me. I know

[rotund elbow]

when the roses was being discused, someone pointed at it being in a park and it got eyed, and then he said he was going to joke about it being in Devon.
Has anyone looked in to these things because I didnt see it discussed.
#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

pls just timeout

he did this last month too

[opal marten]

literally

[pure loom]

The EE is hard enough that Rob doesn't ever need to mislead us.

[fallen jasper]

Now drop it and stop distracting this chat or I will just mute you.

[snow walrus]

if you were right then there would be no easter egg hunt

[velvet narwhal]

If he would mislead us we wouldnt be able to trust anything. Then there could also be red herrings in images

[opal marten]

templar just needs his nap time and his snack, he’s angy right now

[rotund elbow]

litrally just ignore the messages and we can talk about EE's instead

so the park, devon, roses?

[opal marten]

I haven’t tried it yet but i’m getting on shortly and I would love to try out some leads on maps and look for stuff. if anyone wants to join me lmk

[rotund elbow]

Devon is in England (Where I live) quick serch for all three showed the red roses ruby team

finally orange

[acoustic canyon]

roses is confirmed to be part of a different easter egg and not the main hunt

[rotund elbow]

wait, do i need to be yellow to post images?

[gloomy anvil]

yellow doesn't take long

[rotund elbow]

I dont normally talk unless I think i actually have something usefull or if I want to fill the chat with something else rather than whats going on

[velvet narwhal]

You could be active in other chats

[gloomy anvil]

ah oke

[opal marten]

do we think the cannons firing actually leads to anything?

[rotund elbow]

mod in 2 other discords, content creator and playing games....I'm only here because i'm addicted, I really dont have time lol

[rotund elbow]

the white board has broken building parts?

[gloomy anvil]

I would be surprised if it didn't

[opal marten]

what white board

i’m just getting into egg hunting, I apologize

[hasty anvil]

Is anyone able to quickly try flipping and overlaying some images this tier? i'm not sure how to do it

[snow walrus]

basic photoshop manipulation

[hasty anvil]

Also top left of that whiteboard, maybe means vertical mirror

[rotund elbow]

to me its also showing 3 tiers in a couple places here

[hasty anvil]

maybe for you

[snow walrus]

its just 2-3clicks believe me

[rotund elbow]

the ? is on a corner peice of a broken part

[snow walrus]

that tree of rectangles annoy me -_-

[rotund elbow]

its also saying 3 stories high

[snow walrus]

why 5 children but not 6 -_-

[hard forge]

5 truths

[hard current]

@hasty anvil love the idea that rob gave us last night

but I wasn’t around for that either

[hard forge]

?

[hard current]

with the mirroring on images

[hard forge]

ohhh that

[hasty anvil]

He's done it 3 times, who's to say he won't do 4

[hard current]

who?

[hard forge]

rob

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[hard forge]

this

[hard forge]

@unborn pilot

[unborn pilot]

Yeah I saw that

[snow walrus]

im going to try mirroring ques_tion again

[hard current]

rob worded that weirdly

“so many things uncovered”

as in, they’re right in front of us already seen?

[fresh quiver]

would be something like noit_seuq

[unborn pilot]

Always cryptic

[hard forge]

the board

[unborn pilot]

Even a normal message is a rabbit hole to us 🙂

[hard current]

I’m guessing the triple circles may help us along too because Rob brought it up

[velvet narwhal]

THREE circles

[snow walrus]

or we flip only the one quesnoit

Quesnoit, Belgium

[velvet narwhal]

I have no idea what we have to do with the "3" clues

[hasty anvil]

Kevin Costner for Yellowstone was one clue

there's 2 more

[hard forge]

time for a triple circle thread?

[pure loom]

I tried and couldn't get it to scan. Maybe just the numbers are clue

[fresh quiver]

something we should offload as it could include a lot of speculations in the beginning i guess

[wary tartan]

Deleted 3 messages!

[fallen jasper]

Woo

[hard forge]

ahh so this is what this spell does

[fresh quiver]

justice playing around?

[hard forge]

Justice fortifying the hunt

I like it

[hasty anvil]

might be silly question, trying to learn ps, how do i make the numbers on caesar tama show clearer...?

[snow walrus]

https://29a.ch/photo-forensics

[fresh quiver]

adjust the colors?
i use aperisolve

[chilly stream]

try phone scanner

[snow walrus]

just upload and play with the tools

[pure loom]

That's what I used

[hasty anvil]

I'm using gimp haha

Trying to see if mirroring the tama and overlaying the numbers might reveal letters or something

[snow walrus]

manual tweak works too but ready tools are easier

[hasty anvil]

99 mirrored looks like ee

[hard forge]

Caesar Tama is the one with the mirror ?

[snow walrus]

yup

last image

Sometimes we gotta clean up messages and I usually do it manually. Turns out...

This was a mistake

[hard current]

oh no I used to use it all the time for an old server too once I also learned about it 😂😭

[opal marten]

the constellation in vegas could be in the glamora

idk, the star on the front

and the constellation theme

ill check it out

[snow walrus]

@proud minnow did you win last knight?

[pure loom]

Argon has a star too

[hard forge]

I won't trade a knight for a bishop.

[fresh quiver]

but for a tower?

[silver rock]

So, I got some screenshots of the night sky in Vegas yesterday, and I've started charting out constellations. The first picture is the original screenshot, second is with as many stars as I could reliably get highlighted, and third is where I'm at when it comes to the constellations themselves. I unfortunately do not have the time to keep going on this at the moment, so if anyone wants to continue, be my guest

damn this discord compression for the first one

[hard forge]

Ok I have hunch that one the number we have is a "wikidata"

[fallen jasper]

Nice

[slender sedge]

morning! What’s new?

[snow walrus]

+1 day than yesterday

[snow walrus]

wow didnt know we can see stars during VegasNight

[hard forge]

i am gonna check with stellaruim web

[civic trellis]

Guys i found something wierd

For some reason the holtow logo is different in the practice range

Can i send someone a picture?

[hard current]

share to me:)

per @civic trellis

[civic trellis]

Check the battlepass to see the regular logo

[hard forge]

anyone in vegas right now?

[hard forge]

I am sorry. But the constellations are wrong according to me.

[snow walrus]

you need a specific date tho

[hard forge]

Cepheus triangle should be in the direction of Polaris

[hard forge]

yeah

[pulsar mason]

I usually read this chat in the morning like it’s a daily newspaper 😂

[hard forge]

date time and location

[silver rock]

and where is polaris? I'll be honest I don't have much experience with constellations so any help would be good

[hard forge]

what year is vegas set in?

[silver rock]

I did take date time and location into account, it's in 2032 at 1 am

[gloomy anvil]

I thought it was 2023

[hard forge]

it should be in north...and we have a compass in game

[silver rock]

in the photo I posted I'm facing directly north

compass at the top

I used stellarium, changed the location to las vegas, time to 2032 at 1am, and attempted to match the angle of the milky way to what it looked like in the screenshot

[hard forge]

do we know the month?

[silver rock]

we do not

for me I had it in october or november

wide-angle view of the location

also, there are some odd-ish markings on the pipes on the ceiling of the data building

more of them seen here

that would mean it's March

[slender sedge]

could the barcode numbers be the dates when we should look at the sky and see if anything matches?

[snow walrus]

i looked this one but couldnt see much

i mean i wasnt sure what to search on the map

[silver rock]

Okay, I’ll keep that in mind

I also have more screenshots from other directions

[snow walrus]

if anyone wants to use as mask on stellarium

[pulsar mason]

Maybe there’s a hidden namatama constellation

[hard forge]

i was wrong sir. It's August - September

Is the moon visible at night in vegas?

Note- stellaruim uses pc time. convert your timezone to vegas time.

[pure loom]

The orange lights can be seen on other buildings outside the arena, so I suspect they're just lights for aircraft, and don't have an actual light source rendered

here's one close up

[pulsar mason]

Definitely agree with this. We’ve also mentioned them countless times without any eyes so pretty sure we can disregard them

[pure loom]

here you can see them on other buildings

[pure loom]

yeah, agreed

[hard forge]

@pure loom someone went there before it's 2D light

we concluded it to be aviation light

[pure loom]

Yeah, I used the free cam to have a close look and agree with all of that

Can you guys recall who found the third WR?

[pulsar mason]

Does anyone else think that the Egg Nebula looks very similar to the weird waves that are behind all the art we’ve seen lately?

It’s defined by a series of bright arcs and circles surrounding the star

[velvet narwhal]

I think it was @shadow shore

[pure loom]

cool, thanks

[pulsar mason]

These ones

[fallen jasper]

(Posted it for him since he couldn't put images yet lol)

Call to Arms video for WRs 🤣

[fresh quiver]

could that overlay with the numbers from the vvv? e,g. the outer numbers are in another circle then the inner numbers.

[fresh quiver]

exactly my thought aswell 😂 mobilizing the troops

oh, haha

[fresh quiver]

i think the next arenas we will join will be just completely demolished to the last breakable piece

[hard forge]

If the match started at 1 am, what would be the exact time for this image?

Las Vegas 2032 September 1 at 1 a.m. local time

[hasty anvil]

Cassiopeia :0

[slender sedge]

wait where is this date/time coming from?

[hard forge]

• year is fixed for a specific map
• the time is shown at the start of the game
• month I guessed as no moon was visible and the milky way is going from left to right.

I might be wrong tho. So it would be better if someone can check it.

[hard forge]

further up Messier 31 is also visible.

It would be better if we can find Polaris first at the north with the help of in game compass.

[pulsar mason]

Maybe the namatama numbers in the corners represent the stars that make up a constellation?

[hard forge]

Also, Rob indirectly suggested we should solve the older clues. (This is what I interpreted)

I will focus on that tomorrow.

[slender sedge]

that is cool! the line you drew goes through Ursa Minor's tail, which is the North star (which is on Glamora Casino)

[hard forge]

the green line is meridian 🙂.

[slender sedge]

oh my bad

but still

[hard forge]

yes you are right, glamora casino should be a sign,

We use the Polaris to find directions. And it (or rather its symbol) being on it seems we have to start from there.

[shadow shore]

Any progress??

[tired moat]

How many WR's have been found? And are they all on the same map?

[fresh quiver]

Yep, I found the password. I’m refusing to tell anyone though unless I receive $10,000,000 in my bank account by 12pm today.

anyone got an image of rob

alr one sec

[hard forge]

yes real one

[slender sedge]

trying to connect some dots

there's a Vulpecula const, which was known as a Goose (Anser) const (now Fox const, but one of the stars is named Anser). Golden Egg was laid by a Goose according to Aesop's tale

wait really

and i thought we were slow rn lmao

[brazen drift]

Wait fr

I stopped hunting for a bit and y’all made discoveries

I have the worst timing

What’d y’all find

[hasty anvil]

We got given a new namatama that led to some stuff

[pulsar mason]

Perhaps the answer lies below the Anser constellation? A goose laying an egg

[brazen drift]

Is gold egg Latin space still main themes

[snow walrus]

New trend is mirroring

[brazen drift]

Hm

Good to know

If i end up coming back

If someone wants to look at G star #easter-eggs message.

[snow walrus]

Me as well

[slender sedge]

Aquila const? "Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for 'eagle' and it represents the bird that carried Zeus/Jupiter's thunderbolts in Greek-Roman mythology."

[long dome]

are gold, egg, latin, leetspeak and roman numerals consistent throughout this whole level? I’m thinking it’s a whacky combination of all of those based on the five truths message. it’s gonna be really hard to guess

[shadow shore]

And then there's the two "threads" that tie them together

Maybe he meant discord threads 🤔

[lofty basalt]

One can't exactly call it "consistent". Some passwords from the tier used leetspeak, others roman numbers, some were in latin, but others had none of that.

[shadow shore]

Also thermal vision on the star sphere doesn't seem to reveal anything. Inside and out

[fallen jasper]

This help with the barcode hunt by any chance?

[gloomy anvil]

TacticalTot sent some 8k screens in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1199755408588415016 so I think this is the best resolution we've got so far.

That said it's identical to the Holtow barcode, which also doesn't scan. It appears too long to fit a standard code.

[solar pier]

DAMN I was about to ask about that

[shadow shore]

#easter-eggs message

@gloomy anvil posted the link yesterday... But here's the actual captain's log Rob referenced, just for those who didn't see it. Might give us more clues

[jade citrus]

#easter-eggs message Rob has referenced Monkey Island before, in the context of TEH (The Epic Hunt)

[pure loom]

I've been working on the roses puzzle for a bit, and while I haven't made any breakthroughs with the roses, I didn't notice something unusual about the floor at the back of this area.

On either side of the last-most section there are these diagonal lines across the yellow border - almost like it's a hatch with a join

None of the yellow border lines have anything like it anywhere else in the Practice Range.

[jade citrus]

[shadow shore]

Very nice, would be cool if there's another accessible area in the PR!

[pure loom]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. There's really zero reason why those lines should be different from the others. I tried smashing that area with the sledgy - no luck

[hard current]

but there’s nothing but ocean

everything is in front of guybrush if he looked

I mean there IS water it’s just not safe to drink in that situation

[pure loom]

another angle on the odd bit

I tried putting the roses on that section - nothing

[shadow shore]

But I remember old mate clipped through the map, can't remember who it was. Wouldn't he have seen another area if there was one? Unless he missed it 😅

[pure loom]

In the BF1 Isolement EE you had to hit the exact location on some pipes a few times. If it is something similar to that, maybe there is a hidden latch somewhere

[shadow shore]

That'd be cool, maybe listen for different sounds while hitting things?

Zelda style haha

[pure loom]

Yeah, I'm trying that now

Or my other thought is that each of the roses needs to be somewhere to trigger it. But where?

[shadow shore]

No idea. I didn't find a button prompt with anything while holding the roses, and if you need to place them somewhere it may require reasonable precision. Which is still doable, but yeah... Where is indeed the question haha

[shadow shore]

Which gloves are those too??

[pure loom]

Closed Beta 1, iirc

[shadow shore]

Oh nice, they're cool. I joined on the open beta

[pure loom]

I wondered if the Practice Range tag line: "Learn the ropes. Stick with it. The fans will love you." might be a clue

[earnest wagon]

Sorry, I'm just playing catch up, but this has to be the next step right?

Urania's Mirror:

• Contains CP1919 (pulsar found by Jocelyn Bell)

• Includes a star called Anser (latin for goose)

• Includes a Harp (also featured as an answer in the NYT puzzle)

[hasty anvil]

Really good connections

[earnest wagon]

Possible links to Hermes too.

Yup, she was often considered the mother of Hermes. Hermes Trismegistus (sign clue) was a combination of him and Thoth.

[pulsar mason]

How many red people are there in that section?

[pure loom]

6

[pulsar mason]

That has to be it

[earnest wagon]

Urania's Mirror is a collection of cards (plates). This one depicted is Plate 14: Lacerta, Cygnus, Lyra, and Vulpecula and Anser

[pure loom]

2 are moving, 4 are not

[pulsar mason]

Huge discovery mate well done. Now what’s the next step 😅

[earnest wagon]

Now we see how this relates to Chicken Caesar Salad...

In all seriousness, I'm still digging... I feel really close to honing in on it though.

[gloomy anvil]

Interesting find!

[earnest wagon]

It wouldn't surprise me if Urania is somehow our answer, but we're missing a means of altering it for the password.

[pure loom]

definitely a lot of potential connections there

[gloomy anvil]

Where does CP1919 tie in? I'm tired I think I'm missing it. The plates were made a century before the pulsar itself was discovered.

[earnest wagon]

Yup, but the Pulsar is from that area as depicted on that card.

[gloomy anvil]

Ah ok

[long dome]

sorry if this is cheating but i found an area in the practice range where you can mantle clip the camera throught the wall for a fraction of a second and there doesn't appear to be any secret areas

[shadow shore]

Woah you're a weapon. That's awesome!

[tacit phoenix]

So many alterations that we could try though... I tried caesar cipher with offset of 14 (because it's plate 14), but no luck. Also tried it backwards (mirrored).

[earnest wagon]

I'm trying to work out which direction the clues point in to see what's missing.

I think the Caesar clue might be the one that's left dangling.

[pure loom]

maybe just pointing to Latin?

[gloomy anvil]

I don't see any immediate relevance at first glance but I'd be remiss not to link this before I leave https://www.spacereference.org/asteroid/30-urania-a854-oa

[pure loom]

We did have a Roman soldier for that previously

[slender sedge]

where does Urania Mirror clue come from? or we connected everything to it?

[earnest wagon]

Quite possibly, it's been a key component.

[slender sedge]

Vega, Lyra's brightest star, is one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and forms a corner of the famed Summer Triangle asterism. Beta Lyrae is the prototype of a class of binary stars known as Beta Lyrae variables.

These binary stars are so close to each other that they become egg-shaped and material flows from one to the other.

[pulsar mason]

It mostly comes from the last namatama image consisting of a marble namatama dressed as Caesar holding a mirror

Here

Are there any T3 top level clues we're missing from this?

[gloomy anvil]

The theme of a question maybe

[earnest wagon]

That's a damn good point.

[hasty anvil]

question might lead to anser or just the crossword in general

[earnest wagon]

I found this too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCEE7wS5lC8

It's a bop.

[gloomy anvil]

hm if we consider that the very first T3 clues were

• Question
• Gold + Egg
• 2015-11-06
  Those all lead perfectly into the crossword

[earnest wagon]

So we might be there already. In which case I reckon trying variations of Urania might get us somewhere.

Or Aphrodite Urania as she might like to be called.

[hasty anvil]

But also what about g6 e3 o0

[earnest wagon]

I did consider whether the clues might be pointing the other way, with Urania's Mirror pointing toward Vulpecula, I don't think they are, but best not to rule it out.

[slender sedge]

wait, I've seen something on Hermes yesterday

one sec

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

Hermes Trismegistus is a figure that originated as a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth

He is the purported author of the Hermetica

The expression "hermetically sealed" comes from the alchemical procedure to make the Philosopher's Stone.

[earnest wagon]

Yup, that's the link I was talking about - I went on a deep-dive down the Philospher's stone route, the Ripley Scrolls, Herme's egg, and the diarhetic frog.

[slender sedge]

yeah, me too haha

[coarse dagger]

Try now. I made a post in it and deleted it just to bump the thread.

Don't look for threads in the bar on the left, they'll disappear if no one has posted in it in a while.
Look in the upper right, this has all threads, including inactive ones:

[pure loom]

ah, that works. thanks!

[earnest wagon]

Thinking about it... I wonder if this was what some of those 'lost captain' clues were about?

Urania's Mirror was a set of navigational charts.

[coarse dagger]

This is really interesting.

I know there's lots of.... ethereal light sources in the game, but I've never seen anything like that before

[earnest wagon]

Oh... damn.

The cards had holes punched in them so they could be looked through to help align them with the stars.

[coarse dagger]

This is an actual font used for debugging

[earnest wagon]

Remember what Rob said? "I hope I don't fall into any of those holes..."

This has to be it.

I'm begrudgingly replacing my Chicken Caesar Salad theory with this one.

[hasty anvil]

now now hold on, there's still levels 3 and 4

Could the 3 dots on that other picture be holes like this?

navigational holes?

[earnest wagon]

Quite possibly, that would work well with the concept.

Cut out the holes and place it over another image.

I should have gone to bed hours ago, but I'm on a roll and can't quit now.

[shadow shore]

Yep, it's only on the sunset variant of the map too. I think the sun is in the other direction or something also...Really strange

[earnest wagon]

Ok, let's go through those recent clues and see how they might relate to Urania's Mirror...

[shadow shore]

Haha sounds familiar, I slept from 4-8:30am rip

[earnest wagon]

#easter-eggs message
Captain's Log: Lost in the hunt for months now, remember to not fall down in old holes.

"Really, really thirsty now. If only I could have a small drink of fresh water"

This is bothering me...

There's a mention of the illustrations used being redrawings from Alexander Jamieson's A Celestial Atlas, one of which includes a device being held by Aquarius the water bearer. But it doesn't seem as concrete a solution as the others.

I'll come back to this.

"But I know there is nothing but ocean"

Nothing springs to mind for this. Could just be another hint towards it being a Sea Captain, and not a Space one for example.

[coarse dagger]

Reminds me a lot of the "Wow! signal" which I have in my spiraling notes from T1F.
Never got a solid connection to the hunt with it though.

[shadow shore]

What is gait and/or amble tho

[earnest wagon]

How someone walks

[last dragon]

amble is like... a way of moving

[shadow shore]

Ohh like shamble

shamble along

[slender sedge]

how often does Rob come with the eyes? 😄

[shadow shore]

Not as often as we'd like 😦

[pulsar mason]

Wait overlay it on the namatama to get numbers

[hasty anvil]

the new one?

[earnest wagon]

Btw, hole-delvers...

One of the main gimmics of the Urania's Mirror cards are that the size of the holes in the stars had different sizes to correspond to the magnitude of the stars.

[gloomy anvil]

There was a 3-4 week drought over the holidays but we've had more hints recently

[pulsar mason]

Yep! If we cut out the holes and overlay it on the VVV nama with the numbers it might highlight them

[hasty anvil]

hmmm that will just point to top left / lowest right numbers won't it?

and it's an old clue too

[earnest wagon]

#easter-eggs message
(everything Guybrush wants is right in front of him... if he only looked, OYE...)

OYE meaning 'Open Your Eyes' never sat right with me, and the grammatical nature of this clue only further pushed me to think otherwise. If we can find a link between OYE and Urania's Mirror that fits better, that would be nice.

[hasty anvil]

I would try it but im not sure where the original image is

[earnest wagon]

Is this the original format of this image?

Oh.. timing.

[hasty anvil]

haha, i'm not sure

I only copied it from Rob's message

[earnest wagon]

Well, reason I ask is the Urania's Mirror cards are 8x5.5 inches.

Thought it might make a difference.

[gloomy anvil]

It's on T1F (or E) on the wiki

[slender sedge]

What if we took hexa values from the wallpaper based on where the circles are

[earnest wagon]

I've got to call it a night... This feels like we're getting closer though.

OYE is the main hanging mystery I'm puzzling over now.

What's the hexa values for the circles?

[earnest wagon]

Best of luck!

[rotund elbow]

@slender sedge if you mirror one of the immages, do these cross hairs line up?

[slender sedge]

they are not solid colors

[shadow shore]

I went to have lunch and came back now I'm so lost haha, why are the circles colours now instead of black? How'd we get that??

[hasty anvil]

The couples image and Keep it simple image are linked

[shadow shore]

Ahhh

[hasty anvil]

and confirmed linked by Rob in an old conversation

[slender sedge]

I put white image over green one and made holes out of circles

[hasty anvil]

And Rob called back to the circles from that image yesterday saying we need it

[earnest wagon]

That image isn’t 8x5.5inches is it? In terms of ratio?

[shadow shore]

I follow now

[hasty anvil]

Looking at padlet, the K.I.S image barely had clues found

[earnest wagon]

(I got as far as the bathroom, and had another thought)

[hasty anvil]

hold on

2160x2880 this is dimensions

[earnest wagon]

I’m wondering if it can be overlaid on the actual Plate 14 of Urania’s Mirror…

[tropic moss]

22.5x30 in

[earnest wagon]

It’s close…

[shadow shore]

If that works then you're a marvel of modern science

[earnest wagon]

I think this is a long shot in fairness. My sleepy mind conjuring weird ideas.

I think that scales down to 8x6 inches.

The cards are 8x5.5 if memory serves.

I reckon the holes might be too big, but worth a shot.

[hasty anvil]

So another link with circles, they link to Alpha Centauri -> Proxima Centauri -> 79 year orbital period. lxxix link (as per the padlet)

But there's nothing on padlets about the similarity in pixels / dimensions / OYE between the 2 images

[shadow shore]

Could we change the orientation of the holes image so that it's landscape rather than portrait, and then it'll line up with some of the other images for Level 2 or nah?

[tropic moss]

i think i found something but i cant post images

[hasty anvil]

you can send it to me

[tropic moss]

will do

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

this message, 100% missed something here

[shadow shore]

Flip the holes image?

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

I flipped the THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Keep_It_Simple_2160x2880.png horizontal and overlayed it and it matches again 100%.....

[pulsar mason]

Someone try to flip

[tropic moss]

they dont line up

[pulsar mason]

We need to be mirroring the images surely

[grand panther]

has anyone found the 3 headed monkey in monaco yet

[slender sedge]

they don't

[hasty anvil]

@tropic moss found this

[hard current]

wait

wait wait

that odd “error” they’re talking about

and flipping it

that’s what rob was getting at

if it’s like that on ONE side

we have to flip it to match the other side

[hasty anvil]

yesss

He eyed a message, saying there's a message there

[hard current]

this has been solved I think @unborn pilot

[hard current]

what image was it they were flipping

[hasty anvil]

I thought it was too, couldn't find it on padlet though

Keep it Simple

[hard current]

have we flipped and overlaid the that image on itself

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

the whole image I mean

[hasty anvil]

They did in july and it got eyed, but nothing came from it

I would assume they did the whole image

[hard current]

they were focused on the bottom part

[hard current]

@slender sedge can you flip the image on the right and overlay it on itself

sorry I would but not at a pc rn:(

[slender sedge]

like this?

[hard current]

no offset, just a straight flip and overlay

[rotund elbow]

and now flip it top to bottom and pit it on top of that new image

thats how he made the x

for the nama on the knee

[slender sedge]

there's no offset, or you mean transparency?

[rotund elbow]

#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

i'm useless at ps, but I think flex did this

[slender sedge]

I feel like I missed a lot.. I still don't get it

sorry folks 😥

[hard current]

that first line goes through the circles yeah?

[hasty anvil]

Nah it's confusing don't worry

[slender sedge]

what are those lines and what's B and beta?

[rotund elbow]

we dont know, rob shared it as a hint i think, for stuff we havent worked out

its found here though #easter-eggs message

[worldly imp]

Are the new skins at all related to the youtuber Scott Yu Jan?

[hasty anvil]

There’s a confirmed link of 2 images from different tiers that might be useful for this tier

But I need to sleep I’ll revisit it tomorrow

[pure loom]

After spending about 5 hours in the practice range trying to figure this out, I'm wondering if this is actually about the location of a 6th rose (maybe in Monaco) and nothing to do with the 5 in the PR. I haven't been able to find any interactions between them and the range that do anything.

[hard current]

I also spent a lot of time hunting for wr’s and looking at the roses and no dice as well

[slender sedge]

I tried to reproduce the lines, but I still don't understand them

also.. beta - could that be related to constellations?..

[hasty anvil]

I think there’s 4 symbols. La,a ,B,b. Connecting La-a and B-b gives the lines

[slender sedge]

where do you see those?..

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message this is one of them

I think if you check the padlet for it you can see the others

[slender sedge]

yeah, but on the couple's image?

or you just need to "imagine" them there?

[hasty anvil]

Oh wait he might have linked the wrong one

I’ll check padlet

Hmm I’m not sure, the alpha symbol is one the couples image

Maybe that’s Rob trying to show us how to combine image clues, maybe no one figured out to combine the alpha and beta lines

Bare in mind no one worked it out, so it’s all new to us

[rotund elbow]

errrr 😬 you guys remember the latest QR code where we had to connect different images, slightly over laped to make one image (the bigger picture)....
What if the images are puzzle peices and the markings at the edge over lap when put together.

Maybe all the clues placements on the images show something, like a constilation

[coarse dagger]

Last time Rob mentioned Guybrush it was in relation to TEH:

Speaking of Rob, have you played The Witness?
One of my favorite games of all times. I think you'd love the puzzles

[hasty anvil]

This is my favourite puzzle game of all time 👍

Amazing game

[coarse dagger]

Started replaying it recently and have gotten farther than ever before!

[hasty anvil]

I actually dreamt a mechanic of that was used in the finals…..

[coarse dagger]

Would be the craziest crossover of all time!

Here's where I'm at so far

[hasty anvil]

Definitely a game I feel a lot of people here would enjoy

[slender sedge]

did anyone investigate the numbers?

on the bottom of the green image (the couple's image bottom is a solid color)

1404E210DDFD - 4FA5E227933D2 - 1A3DC

[hard current]

I think those have been solved before but… can’t say for sure

[hasty anvil]

I think so too, but also unsure haha

[hard current]

man this whole

[hasty anvil]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit?usp=sharing

[hard current]

flip/mirror thing has me irked

how do we solve it…

we know we need to reflect or mirror SOMETHING

[hasty anvil]

Check this for numbers, sadly I’m on mobile now

[hard current]

and use those lines like rob shows but how the hell do we get the lines…

[slender sedge]

can't find it in here

[slate solstice]

it's not yet

not anytime soon either...

[slender sedge]

oh no, wait, it's there

"rob said "day" 3 times in msg"

[hasty anvil]

We need to work this out

[hard current]

agreed

[hasty anvil]

Were the LA, a, B and b symbols on each image

[hard current]

wait is LA = Length A?

[slender sedge]

same question

[hasty anvil]

I think then line was drawn between LA -a

[hard current]

question, where the hell is LA on that image

[pure loom]

found some numbers on the electricity transformer things above the alleyway on Vegas

[hasty anvil]

We need the original of the first image with the lines so we can work it out, but that one is just the cropped one Rob sent the other day

[pure loom]

Also, the speakers above the street even have little TF logos on them haha

[hasty anvil]

Nice, add to the Vegas thread too

[hard current]

LA - a and B - b

[slender sedge]

where are they??

[hard current]

I don’t know I have no idea what rob meant when he said that

[shadow shore]

Very nice, those colourfull circles are interesting too

[slender sedge]

😥

[hasty anvil]

I’m trying to find the first message Rob sent of this…. But discord mobile….

[pure loom]

done
