easter-eggs

[iron wedge]

is one of the first thing you should check during RE hunts on every game, is highly common in gaming

[cloud wyvern]

theres a literal church you can explode in the game.

[iron wedge]

a dice with a 3

[hard current]

we mayyy have already found the important painting from klee, Ab Ovo

[cloud wyvern]

yeah i figured it was just worth mentioning

[left trench]

The bible verse reminded me of the lamps in the practice range

or i guess anywhere else in the game really

[iron wedge]

lights seem to be very relevant for a reason

[hard current]

religion was covered extensively by past members, and it was never eyed

[lapis moat]

you know that bug where the heavy has his knees inverted so he looks like a satyr? it's been one of the most common bugs across five patches, have we considered that with all the references to mythology that it may be intentional? I'm unfortunately being serious, i'd post an image but i'm new I know you can see it in your head though.

[hard current]

remember what we have guys and go off of that, all the eyed messages and stuff lately

[iron wedge]

we have something related to any of the 3 classes, maybe something is locked because we are using the wrong class to do it

[cloud wyvern]

the eyeballs on ab ovo... again makes me think that the answer is somewhere in the realm of "the birth of gold"

[lapis sparrow]

supernovae

neutron stars

[iron wedge]

someone mentioned that we literally have a stickers of the periodic element of gold?

[lapis sparrow]

stars lose their shit, neutron stars/pulsars are sped stars

[lapis sparrow]

79, we also have 42, silver

[vale sluice]

did we already do an easter egg discussion on why the draco set says 'trace your future in the northern sky/and may your stars never set' or am i late

[lapis sparrow]

a lot of star shit

[iron wedge]

and about the other number?

[lapis sparrow]

622,
not an element

[iron wedge]

im gonna check something it is worth a shot

[lapis sparrow]

important

[mystic storm]

anyone see that rob commented on the latest youtube video?

@RobRunesson
8 hours ago
DONT ever forget how CRUCIAL your videos are. They are not odorless like XENON, no they bring joy like a XYLOPHONE concert on April 4. They are INSPIRING and INTERESTING, for EE-hunters, gamers and for us devs... stay strong.!

[iron wedge]

wait I got an idead

[zealous folio]

@mystic storm

[mystic storm]

ty

[iron wedge]

how many elements we are aware of?

[lapis sparrow]

so
Thomas Gold:

• Has the last name gold

• coined the term magnetosphere (pulsars, northern lights)

• held a conference in Rome

• is the one that proposed that pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars

• won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society

• gold is created in supernovae, which like neutron stars and pulsars, is related to stars going crazy

[iron wedge]

we should try order them by number

[worn flame]

DCXXII = 622

[queen hornet]

by the way, there are 5 months and 5 days between the image mod dates of ques tion jpgs :)

[iron wedge]

55

element 55 is cesium (this May be a stretch)

[queen hornet]

yeah quite a stretch

[silent plover]

supernovae seem very important to this tier

[iron wedge]

space and elements

[lapis sparrow]

solar flares, related to suns, create auroras, plasmad atmosphere, plasma is found in plasma globes, which use xenon

[left trench]

oo

[lapis sparrow]

stars

[queen hornet]

https://learn.apmex.com/learning-guide/science/how-is-gold-formed/

[lapis sparrow]

supernovae

[cloud wyvern]

kilonova/supernova + egg. start thinking of passwords.

[queen hornet]

yup

[lapis sparrow]

lets organize our thoughts here

[iron wedge]

and order them as Best as possible

[lapis sparrow]

so

[lament juniper]

hey guys I’m new as thee f*ck but I feel like the flashing on the moon is morse code… has anyone made this suggestion?

[lapis sparrow]

hmmm

[iron wedge]

is a glitch man srry, we have been tried to decifer it before it got confirmed it is one

[lament juniper]

damn it

[iron wedge]

but if you want to investigate the moon part, Mónaco has a blood moon

[zealous folio]

A calcium-rich (egg shell) supernova is called a Calcium-rich transient or a Ca-rich SN)

[fossil valley]

Light related stuff all over.... religion, Vegas as a lot of lights, the light on the moon flickering 🙂

[left trench]

blinking light like an eye blinks

[normal holly]

i hate searching for these rabbits solo throwing these peoples games is weird

[lament juniper]

well… names nine, I love the finals cause it reminds me of an anime called world trigger, I mainly play ranked, hope to get acquainted thought I’m not too social on here, not used to it yet

[iron wedge]

you play on xbox? we are trying to form EE hunt teams

[normal holly]

i have it on xbox but play on pc mostly

[lapis sparrow]

ps5 here

[fossil valley]

This game needs custom matches for training and EE hunting....

[iron wedge]

we need multiple teams active to be able to find this as soon as we can

[normal holly]

if you wanna add me im inepd on everything

[lapis moat]

earnestly the blinking moon light being fake has got to be a false flag. that's like one of the first things people notice that brings them here. they would have just changed it.

[fossil valley]

So did any of you guys investigated the square shaped lights in the practice range?

[lapis sparrow]

darkglitch20 here

[iron wedge]

we gonna need the embark id if we want to play on crossplay

[mystic storm]

I heard the sniper shot a few times today in practice mode

[iron wedge]

we are starting to go in circles all over again, we need to focus

[nocturne marten]

Question for more astronomy/star watching folks here. Could the Message on Nama's hand in the 404 be a constellation of some kind?

[iron wedge]

practice Mode is a shared server, there are other players on their own part of the map

[lament juniper]

what’s the best video to catch up on all the easter egg lore?

[hard current]

pro tip: sweden time rob and everyone usually wakes up around 2-4am EST so.. the more we keep this chat relevant and on topic the more likely Rob is to eye something important

[fossil valley]

theres a wiki

[lament juniper]

bless

[hard current]

if he has to sort through 4000 messages of randomness surely important things will get lost

[zealous folio]

I wouldn't be surprised if he searches for keywords

[lapis sparrow]

so
Thomas Gold:

• held a conference in Rome

[fossil valley]

The square lights in the practice range that can only be seen from the forest...square like the square that was on the sponsor web page....

[queen hornet]

looking through a list of observed supernovae, found one in the 'dorado' constellation

[iron wedge]

another element we know is created on supernovas?

[lapis sparrow]

gold en español

[queen hornet]

si si

[iron wedge]

exacto

[queen hornet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1987A

look at the images on the page (probably just a coincidence but caught my eye)

[lapis sparrow]

on night maps, look for constrllations

[lapis sparrow]

…

[proven needle]

i saw one of the jet formations on monaco in an L shape. never seen that besides the usual arrow formation could they be spelling something?

[iron wedge]

well well well that looks good

[lapis sparrow]

creating a kilonova

[fossil valley]

Squares in practice range: part of the forest thats close to the hall of fame. You go inside the forest and you look up at the white celling. You'll see 2 bright squares through the tree leaves. One is easy to see the other barely. As it been mentionned here before?

[lapis sparrow]

looks like an uno card

[queen hornet]

the only other notable supernova i could find was one found in the time between the two ques tion dates, on june 14 2015 (only one found that year)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASASSN-15lh

[lapis sparrow]

reads “assasin”

dagger weapon and cloak specialization maybe?

[lofty temple]

In the practice range. On the space where the cash boxes are. If you throw 3 boxes and don't let them despawn the platform stay empty.

It has writing on colors on it

Idk how to send a pic

[iron wedge]

you cant yet you need to level up in the server

[silk bolt]

upload it to imgur

[fossil valley]

...or send the link to a yellow + user so they can put it here

[plush magnet]

I just finished rockhounds EE video and I wanted to bring my piece here,

Has anyone considered the S Lies text to be Scotty lies? It seems like Scotty has some deep times with the game and hes trying to keep everything lowkey

Idk if anyone else had discovered this but I had heard in game that Scotty used to be a constant of the Finals, and since all tournaments are teams of 3 what happened to the other team members

I think maybe Scotty is like the old man from Squidgames and has a direct attachment to the games

[iron wedge]

btw look the EE hunt info right over this Chanel, it Will help a lot

[lapis sparrow]

yes, already scotty lies or sophia lies

[iron wedge]

he was a champion, he knows the owner of all the brands that sponsor the game and seem to know personally the owner of the finals

the man knows way too much yet says too little

[worn flame]

Could be but also suspicious of Sophia who seems to be a bigger deal.

[lapis sparrow]

ozbune or wtf it’s called

[left trench]

I believe they are talking about the text that sometimes shows up at the top of the screen. says "reach the finals" and things like that and has those random colors after it

[iron wedge]

we dont know much about sophia

[worn flame]

My guess is that Sophia is one of the producers of the show hence why she would be dealing with the hacks so closely

[lofty temple]

Yes I was.

[hard current]

she’s the ceo for one of the sponsors, can’t remember which

[plush magnet]

I personally think Sophia might be a red herring because from current knowledge what does she have to lie about, Scotty as an announcer is always feeding us information throughout the game

Sophia seems more like the mega corp sponsor who will take you out with her connections if you cross her

[lofty temple]

https://imgur.com/a/usInh2X

Might be nothing

[lapis sparrow]

it’s a bug most likely

[zealous folio]

OSPUZE

[worn flame]

Thats right CEO of OSPUZE

[normal holly]

i can play on xbox or pc embark is inepd#2791

[plush magnet]

Some one should find all of Scottys lines and documents them I feel like there is something you can find with that

[lapis sparrow]

can someone check the firing range, trophy two bottom sponsor

[left trench]

I think its jsut one of those random textures they put everywhere

[iron wedge]

and seems to be stressed out with all the hacking stuff

[restive compass]

Yes fr

[quaint stream]

too much going on for my brain. Are the bottles at the bar a code? Did we solve everything from the CB and OB videos having weird inverted color moments.

[lament juniper]

what’s the lead on “S Lies” behind the wall, because it would make sense it’s sophia lies dealing with all this OSPUZE stuff

[worn flame]

I could imagine shes trying to have good PR around it all which is why they say she has enough on her plate

[iron wedge]

these are the sponsors of the season, and the only 2 brands that give us something on the battle pass

[lament juniper]

Casino = Volpe & Holtow

Holtow -> Sponsors the games
Vople - handles virtual shit right?

[nocturne marten]

Skyway Stadium is Volpe

[undone socket]

volpe is the people behind the vr stuff no?

[lapis sparrow]

on yhe left

[undone socket]

like the valve index of the finals

[reef flare]

that has the different holtow logo too

[viral fulcrum]

they're the sponsors but I'm guessing that's because it's an entirely fictional location as opposed to the others. They still seem to be making the platform and the whole VR setup possible

[iron maple]

has anyone found any other clues relating to the 5 roses in the practice range?

[lapis sparrow]

… @undone socket

[iron wedge]

volpe makes all the virtual fear used to get into the finals, they along holtow seem to be really important to keep the game working

[nocturne marten]

Oh I know! I just think it's important to remember who is where, in case it matters

[verbal minnow]

do you notice the dice symbols on the coin? 1,3,2,6,4,5 if going clockwise

[left trench]

its a poker chip

[nocturne marten]

https://imgur.com/a/fzfq8YZ Dorado Constellation next to Nama's hand

[lapis sparrow]

I’m making a google doc on the supernova thomas gold shit

[zealous folio]

It's the same for a charm called ANTE-DOTE in the battlepass

[verbal minnow]

the numbers could be a passcode to something, or translated into a word

[lapis sparrow]

poker shit, not anything special

[left trench]

well the numbers are out of order, could be something

[zealous folio]

Yeah that's what I thought, wouldn't make sense to have poker stuff related with space stuff

[verbal minnow]

does not have to be related to the big space thing, could be something else

[left trench]

nvm theyre actually about the same to real poker chips from what im seeing

[viral fulcrum]

they're not

I mean that's the way they are on chips

[lament juniper]

you guys think the role of each sponsor plays a role?

[pallid sorrel]

@pure loom yo

[verbal minnow]

nono he's right

[fossil valley]

So far no, but it's not even in the wiki page of important things...unless it hasn't been updated with that info.

[silk bolt]

holtow is insurance company.. volpe is the vr tech company..iseul-t is sponsor..ospuze is a sponsor too with thier juice

[verbal minnow]

one of the embark guys said it has to do with something but not the main EE hunt

[iron maple]

got it👍 thanks 4 the update

[iron wedge]

most of the clothes we can own come from sponsors, and ospuze seems Just financial sponsor

holtow and volpe seem to do a lot of stuff for the finals, is almost like they are the organizers

[viral fulcrum]

it's a symmetry thing they're not out of order. 6 is facing 1. 2 is facing 5 and 3 is facing four. that's how the dices are lined up usually.

[lapis sparrow]

will someone to into the practice range and send screenshots of all the sponsors on the trophy things

[lament juniper]

vr tech, insurance… maybe they have to recover money lost or something 🤷🏾‍♂️

[nocturne marten]

Iseul-t makes the VR clothing

[iron wedge]

and we could asume most casinos on las vegas are also sponsors

[left trench]

Has anyone taken an exstensive look at the casino machines?

[lapis sparrow]

not me

[brisk hearth]

CXXII?

[plush magnet]

I wonder it the dice have to do something with something especially because gold was a apart of the EE

Maybe the gold bar has some sauce to it

[reef flare]

its the same order on the weapon sticker

[iron maple]

not sure if this adds anything but the new “take the call” emote has new voice lines talking about promotions

[iron wedge]

we have a lot of gold related stuff

[left trench]

someone mentioned that CXII is 322 in Roman Numerals which is what the numbers on the roulette skin add up to

CXXII*

[viral fulcrum]

it's the same order on any poker chip that has dices. if they mean something by it it's very well thought out

[fossil valley]

That's a lot of X's and when X marks the spots....

[reef flare]

oh

[lament juniper]

Isn’t there a barcode sticker?

[reef flare]

yeah but also there's lots of barcodes just look at the urban operative lol

[lapis sparrow]

probably a rick roll

[iron wedge]

we are driftin away from our main clue boys

[lapis sparrow]

I bave important points in a doc

[brisk hearth]

he used some random ass words like hylophone ...has to be code in here and the first letters def stand out in the all caps ones

[lament juniper]

sorry, what are the main points/leads rn

[lapis sparrow]

xenon, xylophone, crucial, and something else or two

[iron wedge]

the paintings, constelations and elements

[brisk hearth]

its DCXXII

[plush magnet]

Well speaking of elements maybe the gas / fire canisters

Maybe they have special writing or their compounds might be something

[queen hornet]

if stars are eggs and going supernova cracks the eggs is gold the yolk (please help im going insane)

[iron wedge]

you got ta be insane to make teories, most of the time the craziest ones are the most accurate

[lapis sparrow]

hmmm

hmmm

what words specifically

[zealous folio]

It's yolking time

[lapis sparrow]

shell shockers

[spice lark]

how does g = 6? if a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, E=5, F=6?

[iron wedge]

we also have to figure out codes

[silent plover]

in a few hints they switched g and 6

[zealous folio]

It was a code for one of the passwords

[left trench]

Was looking at some battle pass stuff and am noticing a random bracket shape/1 on one of the 52 pickup cards

[plush magnet]

The sun is yellow like an egg yolk,

Uhhh egg symbolizes life, when an egg cracks prematurely life is lost

Uhh eggs are also a symbol for wealth and luck in asian cultures. The egg is the opzprese mascot which has yellow cans which can also be seen as gold

[zealous folio]

viold = 6old = gold

[spice lark]

I'm just pulling back to the 5 truths... he said we find the 5 truths and combind them and we're gucci

how does 622 relate to these truths

[fossil valley]

Any major event occurred in 622bc or ad?

[left trench]

nvm lol its the back part of the charm clip

[lapis sparrow]

I checked ce, I don’t know about bce

what about swedish mythology? embark is based in stockholm after all

[verbal minnow]

it might have something to do with yellow and blue buildings

[silk bolt]

also the jets spray yellow and blue colors in the sky

[lapis sparrow]

what color are the fighter jets?

[verbal minnow]

oh I was making a shitty ikea joke but maybe that's something to look into

[spice lark]

are the jets on all maps?

[brisk hearth]

dont, crucial, xenon, xylophone, inspiring, interesting

[lapis sparrow]

look for meatballs

[verbal minnow]

I think they are on monaco only

[silk bolt]

actually they spray a lot of colors but the last one i noticed was in monaco and the colors was blue and yellow

[lapis sparrow]

idts

[silk bolt]

sometimes there's 4 jets spraying smth but don't remeber

[lapis sparrow]

I mean paintjob

[lapis sparrow]

should be 5 standard flyover formation

[plush magnet]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t

Has anyone checked out the iseult page on the official website

[lapis sparrow]

“the bias wrecker”

[verbal minnow]

I remember it being 3 what I think look like american training aircraft, maybe some sort of dassault alpha jet, or a T-38, something with straightish wings

[queen hornet]

if you take the second letters of each word you get oreo nn :D

[lapis sparrow]

dassault isnt american 💀

[silk bolt]

they also spray 3 yellow and 1 white

[verbal minnow]

yeah ik forgot to add that it was not

[lapis sparrow]

oh it is a 3 formation

[silk bolt]

and now they sprayed 2 black and 1 yellow idk

[queen hornet]

this isn’t even true wait i need sleep

[lapis sparrow]

get an ss of the jets straight overhead

[verbal minnow]

they do that at some sporting events in the US,

[lapis sparrow]

thunderbids or blue angels do 5 man or more iirc

[spice lark]

Yeah zoom in to the 3 jets so that we can see the 3 headed monkey

[silent plover]

there is no way the jets mean anything lol

[lapis sparrow]

I just wanna know what plane they are

me liek plen. plen go fast. plen fire fox 2 and 3. me liek plen

[spice lark]

It is possible if we zoom in with a sniper the 3 headed monkeys are on the planes lol

[silk bolt]

they seem random?

[lapis sparrow]

f-16 fighting falcons

weird ass formation tho

[young belfry]

L for loser

[lapis sparrow]

looks like an L…

[silent plover]

L for LIGO

[lapis sparrow]

and what the fuck is that livery

[silk bolt]

hmm idk but they isn't random

[silent plover]

it all ties into the EE hunt

[silk bolt]

the colors they spray are in order? like first they spray yellow and white with 2 jets then 3 then some black blue and repeat again

[marsh marsh]

I really cannot fathom there being anything in the practice area

[lapis sparrow]

do a game and EVERY TIME the jets go over, take an ss

[marsh marsh]

I spent so much time there trying random things

[silk bolt]

i will recored the whole thing because sometimes they fly too fast

[lapis sparrow]

👍

[silk bolt]

i saw them in skyway too but don't know abt seoul and las vegas

[mystic storm]

Are any streamers on the EE hunt?

[lapis sparrow]

@pure loom

[fossil valley]

Any thoughts on the vanishing bomb leaving purple paint like a UV light? Maybe revealing something not visible under normal lighting?

[lapis sparrow]

there are spotlights in pr

[pure loom]

I don’t really stream, unless I’m in a VC looking for EEs. Hunting for EEs can be pretty boring to watch a lot of the time because there’s a lot of time not finding anything.

[fossil valley]

Looking into it in PR....

[lapis sparrow]

oh

[silk bolt]

it would be so much fun if it's like BO3 easter eggs streams

[worn flame]

Really dont think the jets have anything to do with it

[lapis sparrow]

are scotty and june ai?

[lapis sparrow]

ik I just like planes

[worn flame]

Not sure if lore-wise they are but werent the AI generate IRL?

[lapis sparrow]

I was wondering about lore, and yes, they are ai generated irl

[lapis moat]

I think the hard textual implication is that they are AI in both

sometimes the voice skips when pronouncing and I feel like it's intentional

[lapis sparrow]

ai doesn’t drink OSPROZE Pro Juice

[polar shadow]

Maybe Scotty isnt because his voice isnt distorted in the video and said he was going to drink osproze

[lapis moat]

it might brother, we don't know

[lapis sparrow]

plus, scotty was a former contestant

[lapis moat]

I mean that could be the disconnect. What if announcer scotty is the AI version of the former contestant

[lapis sparrow]

ehh

[lapis moat]

it would make sense why a former contestant would be so artificially gungho for the sponsor

[lapis sparrow]

what about CNS

[lapis moat]

they are entirely unrelated to this theory in any capacity

[lapis sparrow]

fair

[lapis moat]

Like maybe he was so popular that when he died or retired or whatever they did a carrie fischer and just decided to resurrect this half living simulacrum of him to try and draw a crowd and advertise bullshit

[iron wedge]

scotty is alive, he talks about drinking ospuze

People spend almost all their time in the digital World but they still need to fullfid their body needs

[lapis sparrow]

looks like a shibe

[marsh marsh]

Boom, that’s the big Easter egg. When Rob said they can do bigger things that’s what he was talking about

Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊

[lapis sparrow]

lmfao

[marsh marsh]

Someone edit the wiki, the practice range egg is solved

[left trench]

The roses were a red herring

[viral fulcrum]

That doesn't seem contradictory, like it's a common trope to make robots/AI do organic things to make them seem relatable, especially in this context with a sponsor and everything

[silent plover]

has anyone addressed why the "ques" and "tion" question mark images don't perfectly line up?

[lapis sparrow]

how do you know?

[left trench]

just a joke :P

[viral fulcrum]

ooh lmao

[silk bolt]

what is the bigger thing?

[pulsar mason]

Time for my daily check in, anything big in the last 12 hours?

[opaque thistle]

What if theres a discrepancy in the x and y values on the pixels the question mark sits at in the images?

[worn flame]

what do you mean?

[opaque thistle]

Like if the question marks are slightly shifted from eachother and not exactly centered then the amount that they're moved over could be important

[shadow shore]

Not to my knowledge

[worn flame]

@opaque thistle The question marks line up perfectly. one fits inside the other but they fit perfectly

[opaque thistle]

Ah alright ty

[turbid tinsel]

The answer is on the ques and tion images merged

[coarse dagger]

STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION!!!

#easter-eggs message

Nope, Rob was replying to a message about the Namatama/Moolah badge showing up in each slot:

Please be careful not to spread misinformation in the channel!

[turbid tinsel]

its all around the outside of the question mark

I can't post the picture here, but when I layered the two images without moving them at all the "tion" image is slightly higher than the "ques" image

i assume the question mark is in a common Finals font

@coarse dagger i sent you a dm

It is

already merged those question images and tried all the effects but different see anything

Horizontally match perfect then?

Seems like it

[left trench]

has the random sounds that seem like talking in the background of the loading screens been discussed?

[silk bolt]

i had that issue before probably ur phone jack is broken or smth

[opaque thistle]

Sadge

[silk bolt]

or have water damage

[opaque thistle]

Ope i plugged a pair in n they fixed themselves

We good

[viral fulcrum]

lmao

[lapis moat]

you can very easily convince an artificial intelligence that it is drinking ospuze, or get it to tell you that it is when it knows it is not. scotty is very much not alive, if they wanted him to feel alive then they would've made the creative decision not to have him be an AI at all, even while he is saying he drinks it his AI lingers too long on certain syllables, almost ironically. not an AI complaint at all, just that when scotty is describing being a contestant, a human, are the times he sounds least convincingly like a person

like I'm probably wrong but objectively that is a robot speaking, whether he's alive in universe or not

[viral fulcrum]

I very much agree with the whole scotty being an AI except I wonder what would stop any AI more or less controlled by people to compete then

like do you need a physical body

[lapis moat]

I think he WAS a person, the announcer version is an AI modeled after the contestant

my theory anyway

[viral fulcrum]

Yeah I agree with that but I wonder why isn't he still competing if he is still alive through his AI

[lapis moat]

to find that out we'd have to know why WE'RE competing

[viral fulcrum]

do people actually like show up for the finals and wear some kind of getup

[left trench]

I feel like june is more likely to be an AI if not both of them, scotty is more so just performative to me

[coarse dagger]

Feel free to post about whatever in #1201288968562552863, but keep this channel on topic.

[viral fulcrum]

yeah but I very much agree with scotty saying very normal announcer stuff and actually sounding nostalgic and human only when talking about his time in the finals, he is performative thanks to that

[viral fulcrum]

that's the whole dilemma isn't it

[agile depot]

We're competing for the fate of all mankind

[lapis moat]

yeah yeah i got that but what about the smiling egg

It represents the earth cracking in half like an egg

[left trench]

the fragile culture of competition and performance

[viral fulcrum]

two different realities. being inside the egg developing and outside decaying. just like VR

its getting too schizo nevermind

[agile depot]

Do y'all think they will actually connect the finals with Arc Riders? Seems a risky idea

[silent plover]

almost certainly

[viral fulcrum]

they will

[oblique badge]

I do not see a connection between these two projects

[agile depot]

I only see an aesthetic connection but that's it

[viral fulcrum]

we don't know what's outside of VR in finals so they can make up p much anything

I wouldn't be surprised, it's just a thing devs do, connecting the universes even when it's obscure

[solar pier]

Not sure if I want it to be connected tbh but embark will probably make the lore good if it is

[oblique badge]

it's like, today you run around in a VR world and fight for the affection of fans and virtual currency, and tomorrow you survive in an apocalyptic world with giant robots?

[left trench]

maybe its a hunger games situation

[viral fulcrum]

you're training for combat in finals

[oblique badge]

No bro, cringe

[viral fulcrum]

it's the easy way they always take

[oblique badge]

The finals not about training it’s about show

[viral fulcrum]

I mean that's what they say

[fossil valley]

Enders Game says HI! It's possible.

[viral fulcrum]

but I mean it could just take place in the same universe is all, it's just a common trope in materials from the same people

[lapis sparrow]

?

[agile depot]

Are there good storytellers at Embark?

[lapis sparrow]

any updates?

[agile depot]

Some people from Mirror's Edge might be in the dev team, right?

But does that game have a good story?

[viral fulcrum]

I'm not saying that's what I believe and that's the case just saying it's not out of the question! don't know what they're cooking

[lapis sparrow]

good night, all

[fossil valley]

gn

[agile depot]

Honestly what i want from the game is just even more spectacle, i want to see it becoming bigger every season

[viral fulcrum]

I do think with the whole VR stuff they have a lot of space to expand however they want cause we don't know a whole bunch about the setting

[fossil valley]

That's general chat material though... this is easter egg hunting 🙂

[viral fulcrum]

True sorry there's a lore thread I just can't post in it yet

[agile depot]

I'd expect that as the game grows bigger with each season, the more certain issues with the VR World start to come up

[oblique badge]

No Easter eggs 💀

[fossil valley]

There was a theory that the vanishing bomb could reveal hidden stuff, like UV light does in investigations... bc it leaves purple paint that shines under light.

[agile depot]

"Seek the truth beyond the walls"

[oblique badge]

Let’s go vanishing whole maps

[agile depot]

Why does The Finals have references to "The Running Man" movie

[oblique badge]

Drop outside of map 💀

[fossil valley]

I did the whole practice range where lights are and found nothing... 😤

[dull sundial]

I mean there are bugs that allow you to do that LOL

[fossil valley]

theres a video of a guy who got out of bounds in PR using turrets... I didnt see anything special outside the map

alright that's all for me... catch you guys later!! gg

[agile depot]

What are the contestants even fighting for?

[solar pier]

Money, fame, sponsor deals

[pseudo sage]

on the topic of beyond the walls theres a hidden mannequin behind the upstairs yellow wall in the practice room

probably common knowledge tho

[silk bolt]

is it possible that the master mind blueprint is real life thing?

[worn flame]

Possibly, however we have followed the path and it seems like a bit of a dead end

[solar pier]

I don't think that the irl casino staff would let us in half of those rooms

[worn flame]

oh like IRL?

[cloud wyvern]

go to the bellagio and find out

[silk bolt]

yes that why i think it's real life instead of in game because i have tried doing everything and there's nothing

[silk bolt]

maybe but no one tried

[worn flame]

While i think there could be IRL things, i dont think this would be one of them. I feel like that would be intense...right?

[silk bolt]

yeah maybe but like if the map doesn't lead to anything why would it be there?

[worn flame]

Not everything is tied to EEs. Might just be a fun thing

[agile depot]

The Finals lorehunters casually turning into the War Thunder hackers looking for Tank designs

Just wait till they drop the new USA Pentagon map

[quaint stream]

Didn't someone find steal the spotlight song on spotify but it was like STS by TF

[solar pier]

Me lol, I put that up for myself using local files because I wanted to have it on spotify

[brisk hearth]

driving to vegas rn

[worn flame]

Have we talked about the Doppler Effect yet? I just feel like theres something there connected to Binary Pulsars

[silk bolt]

take a pic of the map with you

[worn flame]

Signing off for now! night!

[naive rover]

See ya

[solar pier]

That mousepad will be mine

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhotacism rob did this on literally -> literary, might be just another nod to Rhodium

[fervent nebula]

Lemme ask yall do you guys think it’s worth a shot looking on the real life Fremont street? (Las Vegas map) me and my girlfriend are about 20 mins from Fremont street and we could go and take a look

Maybe see if by any chance there could be anything to help the EE hunt, I know it’s definitely a reach

[brisk hearth]

do it, im on my way to Monaco right now

[opaque thistle]

Oo thinking about it I went to Fremont street a bit ago omg

[ebon narwhal]

not me being said girlfriend lol

[fervent nebula]

Idk I know it’s definitely such a far reach but who knows maybe there could be something in the real world that could help, I mean if there are websites and QR codes redirecting us who’s to say there isint a object in real life to help progress the EE hunt

[fervent nebula]

Nah bro hit seoul first

[brisk hearth]

that was my next top, followed my skyway stadium

[icy yoke]

am I crazy or did the holtow quote sticker used to be a dead link and now it works?

[silent plover]

holtow.com? nah that's been there

[icy yoke]

was it glitchy before though?

[fervent nebula]

And it’s not at the Bellagio the casino that would have had the ally with the death by rodent would have been the golden nugget casino on Fremont street

[junior swan]

I am going for the WR hunt now if anybody wants to join me

[mint blade]

Assuming you all already have seen this?

[opaque thistle]

I mean one of the previous clues was geocaching lol

[fervent nebula]

Old news man

[shadow shore]

May not find anything EE related but that sounds like a fun time out anyway, I'd do it haha

[opaque thistle]

I'm down I just gotta get setup a lil I just got out of a shower lul

[junior swan]

Okay!

[icy yoke]

seen yes, figured out no

[opaque thistle]

waiit, in vegas we have a clue on it though hold up

[grave ibex]

is the wiki really lacking in information? i saw a youtube video yesterday that went through a lot of more things

[quaint stream]

Gimme dat song

[opaque thistle]

^ one night three dawns?

[icy yoke]

if we are assuming the twitch drop spray is something, then the other stuff must be too right? welders mask and the safe

[opaque thistle]

I'm up for it now btww

[icy yoke]

so who makes the safe? bottom left corner is a logo but hard/impossible to read

[opaque thistle]

top right is just holtow lol

[fervent nebula]

I just found out the casino Eastwood which is the master plan spray is called 4 queens casino on Fremont street idk if that would help any of you all

[opaque thistle]

yeah im lookin at that rn

wait what if we look in the floor plan for the 4 queens and compare to the markup spray?

[fervent nebula]

Maybe look at the layout of the casino and or surrounding alleys? The size of the casino is very very similar to the real life size

[icy yoke]

bottom left though,

[fervent nebula]

It’s definitely a idea but it could be pretty difficult to find the layouts of casinos out here other then through photos

Obviously due to privacy and safety, I mean like I said I’m down to make the trip down to the casino and I’ll record a whole video layout of the casino for you all😭

[opaque thistle]

follow the treasure map 😩

||(as well as you can w/o getting merked by security)||

[fervent nebula]

Shit I’ll definitely try, I mean I’m ngl I do think it’s a far reach but in my mind anything is possible at this point

[opaque thistle]

It might atleast give us an idea of something who knows

[opaque thistle]

Mhhh it's on other stuff all over the place tho, it could be referencing something irl though maybe?

[icy yoke]

such as?

[fervent nebula]

I definitely think a irl object could be a possibility

[opaque thistle]

I believe I've seen a couple of those around the map in sheouls hospital on some equiptment I might be mistaken though

[shadow shore]

https://www.thespherevegas.com/

A sphere like this can be seen in the distance in game, and we think the giant sphere in Argon is referencing it too

[opaque thistle]

yes

[junior swan]

Sent you a dm

[lofty temple]

So Jocelyn Bell discovered pulsars, which are neutron stars.

Ligo in turn utilized how bell found neutron stars to locate and watch an event on Aug. 17th, 2017 where two neutron stars collided.

When two neutron stars collide gold is formed.

[silent plover]

supernova or kilonova

[opaque thistle]

and 17 is the same number we get from the overlayed question marks when we look at the differences in their height in pixels 👀

[lofty temple]

Idk how Paul Klee fits into any of it though..

[brisk hearth]

there was a solar eclipse on that same date

[lofty temple]

Ligo would go on the receive the Nobel prize in 2017 for the event they detected on Aug. 17th 2017, utilizing Bell's method of locating neutrons stars.

[brisk hearth]

welp, 08172017 is not the pw lol

tried other combinations as well

hmmm 888?? 0+8, 1+7, 1+7???

negative

[sly coral]

what makes us think Paul Klee is related to this?

[brisk hearth]

signature was found

[polar shadow]

If you google Paul Klee and stars two of his partings come up one “rising star” and the other “connected to the stars”.

Maybe it was just a hint for Ligo and Jocelyn bell.

[brisk hearth]

he also has paintings with eggs

[sly coral]

i'd suppose "rising star" is something the announcers say often but that might be a stretch

i dont even remember in what context they say it

[merry nimbus]

i think its usually when someone wins

[sly coral]

oh yeah

[peak plover]

Could it be something on the win screen

[proper kindle]

Yeah “blank” is on their way of becoming “rising stars” I believe

Or actually i think it happens mid match actually

After you get a cash out or sumn.

[sly coral]

oh yeah thats right, bu i think they say something like "a big congratulations to our new rising stars and a thank you to our viewers at home"

[proper kindle]

Has anyone ever looked up into the sky on Monaco? There’s a giant red moon and I never understood if that was the three dawns. It’s always there when it’s sunny

[icy yoke]

T3 mention on Tidy Inventory Set?
unsure how relevant

[proper kindle]

Also yes I forgot about that after winning a tournament they have said that b4 to me

I don’t think the red moon is there when it’s night tho so idk if that means anything

I might also be getting my maps confused but I’m like 70% sure it’s on Monaco

[sly coral]

i never reflected over how strange that moon is

[proper kindle]

When I heard three dawns that’s the first thing I thought about lol

Monaco and the weird sun and big red moon

[peak plover]

Paul Klee has a painting called Red Moon

[icy yoke]

has anyone checked to see if the vault room in the casino has different boxes open at day or at night?

[sly coral]

is it called red moon or does it just havethe red moon on it

cause the moon has been relevant before i think right? on monaco or somethin'

[proper kindle]

I might be reaching here but does this look like Monaco to anyone else?

Like a lil house and the sun and then that red blot could be the moon

[sly coral]

but the red moon is pretty big innit?

[proper kindle]

His actual red moon painting actually makes way more sense lol

This is almost exactly how it looks in Monaco without the crescent. The moon and the sun are right next to each other with all the floating ducks and stuff

[sly coral]

this is a biiig stretch but whatever is covering the moon is gold as well

[proper kindle]

How does Paul Klee tie into this btw?

[sly coral]

i was told they found a signature

[proper kindle]

Also what is CNS

Cause I never seen that till rn “hacked by CNS” is there a sponsor that goes by that name or is it initials?

[sly coral]

no

[peak plover]

We not confirmed what it is (as far I know)

[sly coral]

but then again paul klee was already tied to solving another question so maybe he isnt relevant anymore idk

[proper kindle]

Has anyone checked the hotlow website ? Never been on it b4 but rn it currently looks like this

[merry ocean]

Does the red moon play into the red moon you get on the night version of one of the maps?

[coarse dagger]

Brilliant!

[proper kindle]

So it does show up on the night maps? Cause I looked up once and I noticed it on a sunny map

[peak plover]

yes "CNS" is flashing in the website

[proper kindle]

For me it’s just that flickering hack gif

[silent plover]

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

[coarse dagger]

I was driving by and really wanted to, but was on a road trip with a cat, so I couldn't stop to do so!

I was wondering if the alleyways were accessible and whether they might actually have some THE FINALS graffiti or stickers

[silent plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1106236741037338634/IMG_CDIV.png

For the holtow page, there is a frame that says "Ready>" and one that says "WE ARE"

[proper kindle]

I sear I see a face in that flickering blue static

[silent plover]

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

[fervent nebula]

I mean they definitely are accessible but with that area is best to stay just out of those alleys in all lol

[proper kindle]

K so this is the best I got from looking up CNS off the periodic table.

Coal microbes are the predominant form of life in the subsurface ecosystem, which play a vital role in biogeochemical cycles. However, the systematic information about carbon–nitrogen–sulfur (C–N–S)-related microbial communities in coal seams is limited.

Could this possibly be Sophia and what she puts in ospuze and could ospuze be behind the hacking 🤔 hence why they were mentioned in the first place?

I might be grasping at straws here but I’m not really sure how deep the rabbit hole could go

OR IS IT THIS???

“Here, we present high pressure-temperature experiments to constrain the fate of mixed C-N-S volatiles during core-mantle segregation in the planetary embryo magma oceans and show that C becomes much less siderophile in N-bearing and S-rich alloys, while the siderophile character of N remains largely unaffected in the presence of S. Using the new data and inverse Monte Carlo simulations, we show that the impact of a Mars-sized planet.”

Monte Carlo is in Monaco and MARS SIZED PLANET aka red moon????

Idk man im too tired but those are my two like guesses behind CNS rn

[icy yoke]

I love it,
please dont forget to eat, sleep, and breathe fresh air

[merry ocean]

How do you share files on here?

[proper kindle]

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aau3669

If anyone wants to read what I read in more depth

[icy yoke]

when they said "the writing is literally on the walls" I dont think they mean you were supposed to write on the walls of your room

[wicked knot]

That "ready" prompt looks an awful lot like a Commodore 64 prompt 🤔

[misty raven]

Pretty crazy image analysis software if anyone wants to do some hunting

[proper kindle]

Does anyone have the logos chart of all the different sponsors ?

[misty raven]

Can't see anything new in the main images on first inspect

[silk bolt]

and touch some grass

[merry ocean]

On the holtow page gif, there is also:
"",8,1

[vague flume]

I posted a bunch of images from holtow site in thread.

"", 8, 1 found

ready
some kind of logo

[silk bolt]

when did they change the dagger kill feed

[brisk hearth]

have you tried ques-tion?

[misty raven]

Had a quick look. Those are jpgs and pretty small ones so less likely to have info. Couldn't see anything myself but give it a go if you like

[silent plover]

this is the easter egg chat lol

[merry ocean]

DId you see what looks like cursive letters?

[misty raven]

It also has a tool to combine images in different ways and I did that to no avail. Like others have

[brisk hearth]

thats the Klee signature

[peak plover]

In https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1011929497139953744/1106236741037338634/IMG_CDIV.png the element of Hassium is crossed over by a different marker.

[proper kindle]

Isn’t there 5 statues for each clothing in the BP?

Did anyone catch the diagonal line box looking icon that kept popping up in some of the frames of the Holtow gif?

[vague flume]

this one?

[merry ocean]

Yep

[silent plover]

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

[opaque thistle]

I noticed something kinda interesting, one of the elevators in Seoul's hospital was starting from floor 100 and went to floor 101 but skipped 102 and 103 and skipping straight to 104

[normal holly]

i believe all elevators just do that sometimes

[opaque thistle]

theres also no options for those floors or anything it's just weird

[merry ocean]

There is also a strip of 3 pixels down the left side that seems to change on a separate pace from the rest of the frames in the gif. Wonder if they stack to create an image

[silk bolt]

is there someone called odilia?

[twilit sail]

has anyone else seen opuze.com

privated site with the finals logo on it

[opaque thistle]

black gown girl at the end of the battle pass

[opaque thistle]

why do you ask tho

hmm odilia, the trickster..

waitt what do you guys make of this

[silent plover]

It seems like no one really has a solid clue as to where these clues are really pointing us. We know it definitely has something to do with gold.
Beyond that it’s just a random collection of clues about space, elements, literary references, art, and a bunch of other things.

[opaque thistle]

yeah...

[alpine junco]

Ding ding ding

[opaque thistle]

FAZ

[alpine junco]

@fallen jasper the fact you found that out before me is nice becuz i went thru lists of swords a couple days ago

[unreal marlin]

probably doesn't mean anything but i seen this face on the holtow website

[silent plover]

It seems like the golden egg is a supernova or kilonova since we have clues pointing to it possibly being related to the creation of gold

[alpine junco]

Good find @fallen jasper

But what does General Shelby have to do with a simulation lol

[normal holly]

he had a good sword choice

[silent plover]

Or a goose because it was a goose that laid the golden egg and goose in Latin is anser

[opaque thistle]

this is a place related to saint odile aka odilia

[icy yoke]

idk but he married his first cousin once removed

[polar shadow]

That could be it since the hint was question and anser sounds like answer

[misty raven]

We been here sorry. But it is the closest we've come to a good answer

[quaint stream]

Is Odilia supposed to be Ophillia with the d flipped? No idea about the h lol

[alpine junco]

I was googling fencing/fighting swords xd

Maybe other weapons have initals on them?

[quiet ice]

Sup folks, wondering if there's any clue to what the numbers in this boxes mean. Seem to be one of the only cryptic things printed into props

Mainly the ones starting with CL

[quaint stream]

Looked at klee paintings and goose related things for golden eggs. No idea. If there was a goose in Monaco I'd be happy

[twilit sail]

prolly is a product id because it has weight measurments download size then most shi has a product id

i saw her name in the face selection so came to ask if she was someone but yeah she's the girl at the end of the pass

[opaque thistle]

ohh yea

[silk bolt]

didn't know that i was so focusing on rank lol

[quaint stream]

Someone needs to guide all our efforts more. Like we need to lead the charge. Roses? Golden Egg? Xylophone and Xenon? Which order? Do we have all the ingredients and just not the password?

[jagged hatch]

i much prefer the discord channel stream of consciousness

[quaint stream]

We can have both

[earnest wagon]

Morning all!

[umbral shell]

Sup fam

[civic hornet]

anyone got a padlet or thread for three dawns?

[earnest wagon]

I occasionally write up summary posts or logical breakdowns to try and provide a little guidance, the trouble with doing that is it runs the risk of stifling ideas. If anything I typically write them up when it looks like everyone has become latched on to the tail of the person in front.

It’s important to periodically walk things back, check what’s been confirmed and what’s still open to interpretation, consider all the possibilities, and take the journey all over again to see where you end up this time.

[earnest wagon]

I think there’s one in CNS, or it was being discussed in the lore thread.

[civic hornet]

do we think its related to the ee hunt? Or should I fixate on a different rabbit hole today?

[earnest wagon]

I think it’s wider EE stuff hinting at the lore, and only tangentially linked to T3 through theme at best.

[hard forge]

We have all the ingredients.

[quaint stream]

Yeah Ive checked the pin and saw your post but waiting for an update for the WIP for what we'd like to use more brain power or hands on deck.
Goofing around in the alleys of STS? WR hunting? GoldEgg stuff?
I'd say it's more for people who'd at least wanna have more aim with their ideas after fizzing out.

[sharp flame]

Oh crap! Didn't Rob say it was important, or there for a reason?

[hard forge]

We have everything to solve T3 passwords.

[opaque thistle]

saint odile (also referred to as odilia) of Avolsheim, Alsace. "The commune (Avolsheim) has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom"

[quaint stream]

T3 as in once we get past the final t2?

[earnest wagon]

The trouble with the overlapping nature of the ‘Levelled EE’ is that everything seems connected, so clues get disregarded as belonging to older tiers, new ones get assigned to Diamond / Roses / Lore and some of those get assigned to T3.

[earnest wagon]

T3 = Tier 3 (of level 2)
Level 3 comes after.

It’s like rubbing a raw onion in your eyes. The pain has layers.

[earnest wagon]

I’ll try and get on that today, thanks for the reminder!

[hard forge]

Tier 3 of Level 2 (The Promise). The website is locked behind a password. Finding/solving password is THE major objective of EE hunt

[quaint stream]

Yeah I'm all with you guys there.

[opaque thistle]

the day of her feast is december 14th which lines up right with saint valentines feast on febuary the 14th. And there's the rose connection with avolsheim being awarded "one flower"

[umbral shell]

So if im following, we have to find a word or phrase to signify “a promise?

[opaque thistle]

the ring?

This got me thinking if we should look for the eyes which were not helpful/used in previous tiers

"Engaged in Battle" "Someone spent 3 months' worth of cashouts on this thing"

[cedar salmon]

idk if this has anything to do with the easter egg. as i havent been caught up much, but while invis this parking thing had a white glow from afar and it dissapeared when i went closer. located in eastwood casino, maybe a link to that twitch drop master plan spray.

[opaque thistle]

weirddd

now I wanna try thermals/night vis on it lol

[hard forge]

Level 1 (pre-beta) was named "The commence" . The final password to it was "geocache"

[civic hornet]

Is there a relation between the two that Im not seeing or was the password not related to the title

[umbral shell]

Heard that lol , so what is the best route to look for the password

[umbral shell]

No relation I think

[silk bolt]

hmmm

[cedar salmon]

nothin on thermal or invis nade.

The prize at the end of this is worth it: Freedom.

Those of us lucky enough to survive will be able to unplug, reintegrate with society. We stumble from our desks while behind us the final image shines brightly in the darkness. A Namatama gif, constantly winking, a big grin on his face as he waggles a sign at us with his one good hand:

“You have completed The Finals contestant experience. Drink more OSPUZE.”

[earnest wagon]

Ah thanks! I knew the two were connected somehow, but hadn’t seen the link last night.

[quaint stream]

But still no clue how the symbols relate

[velvet narwhal]

Someone traced it and used Google Image search

This should be added to the padlets

[earnest wagon]

I’ll add it soon. Having power cuts atm.

[coarse dagger]

Seem to be one of the only cryptic things printed into props

🤣 You're hilarious

[hard forge]

"one of the only"

[quiet ice]

Yeah, might have exaggerated lol

Embark really put a lot of work into easter eggs

[quiet ice]

Thx for the thread. Gonna pin it

[quaint stream]

Hilarious to be on a wild 'goose' chase for golden egg passwords. No idea how Rob's comment on @pure loom video is supposed to help either. Especially seeing the dang words Xenon and Xylophone

[polar shadow]

I thought that’s related to the Lewis guns roulette wheel. The first letter of each word he capitalized becomes DCXXII 622 the number you get when you add up the wheel.

[opaque thistle]

and theres another couple of those 4s

[quaint stream]

I'll be checking this out later today

[eternal violet]

xEnon, xYlophone, O Y E

[quiet ice]

O Y E, like hear in spanish

[velvet narwhal]

This could be connected to the 622 on the Lewis roulette and Comment: #1182955042416893984 message

[silk bolt]

are we missing anything

[opaque thistle]

we're missing plenty

[velvet narwhal]

we're still missing the password :(

[vague flume]

what's already known about the password?

like... We have a picture of final result? how long it could be? what it can contain?

[velvet narwhal]

Only Standard ASCII
Max 30 characters
lowercase
no spaces

[silk bolt]

latin alphabet..with numbers

[vale igloo]

would characters from the swedish language be included if it a swedish word

like å or whatever, or would that just be a

Just a

[dusky grove]

Hey, I was trying to translate the moon morse code

It doesn't look much like morse code tbh. I interpreted the first and final letter which is H and E

So far I'm looking at H##(yet to be translated)E

[silk bolt]

it's a bug

[dusky grove]

Finding a game where I can get monoco or Seoul at night is awful

[dusky grove]

Wdym, the mods or some important person reacted to the thing with 👀 which usually mean we're on the right track

[velvet narwhal]

where did you get that information from?

[civic hornet]

think they mean the red flash

[velvet narwhal]

where did he get that information from?

[opaque thistle]

rob said this cow thing was a bug around the same time and a bunch of people misinterpreted what he was saying as the flash

I don't think it has been confirmed a bug but I'm unsure

[civic hornet]

Has anyone attempted translating it to other forms of code? Telegraph for example

[dusky grove]

Oh for fuck sake

[opaque thistle]

I know that had been a misinterpretation at first tho

[dusky grove]

Man. I just realised how much time I just wasted doing this.

[civic hornet]

your good, its not a bug

[silk bolt]

someone also told me that the flash is a bug when i looked at it once? so is it a bug or should we look for it?

[opaque thistle]

^

see it's while they're all talking about it, but it's not what rob actually pinged as the bug

[vague flume]

Guys, can someone try convert gif from holtow.com into txt file?

[dusky grove]

@magic talon blud

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think its a bug

[silk bolt]

like damn who told me the flashing moon is a bug🙂

[opaque thistle]

ong idkkk but they geekin

aint nobody confirmed that from what I've seen

^

[velvet narwhal]

@earnest wagon This could also be interesting for you

[civic hornet]

cant see a thread for the moon flash. anyone got a video of it?

[earnest wagon]

Oooh, thanks - I'll try and factor that in.

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message

[opaque thistle]

ok but why did bro say confirmed bug where is the proof 💀

[silk bolt]

forgot to screen the replay too

[civic hornet]

ill try translating into other forms of code at lunch

[silk bolt]

there's also flashing moon in Vegas but i don't know if it's the same as monaco

[split scaffold]

And so are there supposed to be flashes on the blood moon or no?

[silk bolt]

no blood moon doesn't have flash

only regular moon

Gotcha

[quiet ice]

Alright folks, got quite invested into the hunt, gonna join but heck it's hella rabbit hole. This gonna be fun!

[split scaffold]

@quiet ice welcome to the gng

[silk bolt]

i just said that because someone said it's a bug when i was new here so i didn't know about anything before or the cow bug

sorry tho

[coarse dagger]

Yep, 1 person read a post wrong and now I've had to call out the misinformation 4 times.

[quiet ice]

Need to chug all the EE hunt dets so I'll be digging into the padlet and the guides lol

[civic hornet]

Has anyone got a video of that one?

If anyone has a video of every flashing moon on different maps, I will line them up in premiere to see if there the same, I reckon if theyre different itll help more

[split scaffold]

I’m trying to think of any other forms of communication that could use flashes, Morse or tap code? But I’ll see if I can get a couple vids of them

[civic hornet]

Telegraph? step one will be translating the flashes into a written form

[pseudo shore]

If you go a bit higher, someone linked it

[civic hornet]

Once weve got every instance of a flashing moon translated to a written form we can more easily figure out the code

[fast crescent]

I'm pretty sure that yesterday when I tried looking at the moon on Vegas through my scope that I was manipulating the flashes based on the way I was aiming. Did I do something wrong? Because that made me think there's no logic to the flashing

[velvet narwhal]

no thats only the one on monaco. Polio wants the one on vegas (if theres even one)

[split scaffold]

Yea I had issues getting the flashes myself, I couldn’t do it but I saw videos of it (by RHB)

[vague flume]

guys, can be bars in gif from Holtow be morse code sequence?

it just looks like it could be

[split scaffold]

Not exactly sure, I mean the one section looks like it. But the rest may need the image adjusted

[vague flume]

there is a lot of frames that looks like they can be translated into morse code

[opaque thistle]

I was thinking it could represent a barcode

[split scaffold]

Can’t hurt to try,

[dusky grove]

There aprantly is though it happens at a specific time

[vague flume]

I tried to scan few frames - didn't work

[civic hornet]

If anyone else wants videos of every moon #easter-eggs message

[velvet narwhal]

ok. i haven't seen it yet but also didn't really look

[dusky grove]

Alright, I tried to translate that blinking I found in this vid and I got H###E#ET#

[vague flume]

idk if it will be helpful but there are 107 frames in gif

just to know

[dusky grove]

The one I posted or the holtow one?

[vague flume]

*108 actually

[vague flume]

holtow one

[dusky grove]

In ASCII that is I

[vague flume]

yup

[dusky grove]

I and Holtow

I for isult maybe? Idk

Also, one more thing. Yesterday i found the letters SR! Behind some trashcans in Monaco

[opaque thistle]

oof

[dusky grove]

Letters were like purple ish colour. Would that be anything useful or no?

[velvet narwhal]

SR stands for Saint Rob. Our savior.

[dusky grove]

If you zoom in just enough you can kinda see an SR!

[hard forge]

I just wanted to point out that Paul Klee was born in 1879

[dusky grove]

Wait who's that. I'm guessing you've already cracked that thing

[coarse dagger]

That's 1 of the 2 known graffiti on Monaco.

There are 5 total to be found.

[dusky grove]

What's the other one and how do we know its 5

[velvet narwhal]

Saint Rob is a Nickname we've given Rob (he makes all the EEs)

[hard forge]

Blud Saint Rob

[opaque thistle]

embark rob 😩

[dusky grove]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

[hard forge]

SD=Saint Dusty

[opaque thistle]

ooooo

[dusky grove]

Man I just started this Easter egg shi last week idek who Rob was till 3 days ago

[vague flume]

ok it's not a morse code 100%. Seems to have no logic in this bars appearence. But maybe i'm just dumb, so maybe trying to convert it - not the worst idea

[opaque thistle]

same lol, but I also spent the last 3 days here too

[dusky grove]

I'm looking for different codes that could use what i found. In morse it would be H###E#ET#

[coarse dagger]

825c

Because Rob said so

[fresh quiver]

And I think we have SJ for saint justice ? Iirc?

[opaque thistle]

that.. also confused me a little because the graffiti didn't look like a 5 😭

[dusky grove]

Justice and Rob

[opaque thistle]

I get how we got to it w/the melting/boiling point or smth but the graffiti we saw looked more like a 824C w/some other possible numbers hidden in how the 4 was written.

[hard forge]

What is the question?
-Gold
-Egg
-Latin
-Space

5 TRUTHS

[acoustic canyon]

Justice is actually an ee hunter who is now a cm who's main account is kyne. He owns the padlets

[opaque thistle]

Who is odelia's family?

[hard forge]

and pays $ 10 per month for us.

[dusky grove]

Why lmao

[opaque thistle]

it atleast seems like very pertinent information to find out

[hard forge]

padlets are not free

[fresh quiver]

Padlet costs money if you have over 3 padlets.

[dusky grove]

L Padlet, W Justice

Fun fact: there was once a jazz musician called Esbjorn who died at the age of 44 from scuba diving

~~Worst ~~ Best Page I ever made fr

the legend is back

[split scaffold]

Could anything be related to Space Odyssey

[fallen jasper]

It was originally a page just about Rob but when we started canonizing other saints we needed a page for all of them.

[vague flume]

can be something encrypted into GIF?

I just tryed to decrypt holtow gif into base64 string but got nothing

opening in notepad gave nothing too

[hard forge]

It's Rob we are talking about. He came with his own version of 3D pig pen cypher. He is also a PS expert. He can encrypt 3+ clues in a single GIF!

[sharp flame]

The 11 steps still haunt me.....

[hard forge]

I doubt if someone will ever find those.

[fallen jasper]

Step one: Give up and wait for rob to explain it in a few months

[vague flume]

I just want to try drop this gif into IDA and see what happens

[velvet narwhal]

Step two: cry when you know how it's done

[hard forge]

And he will say something like "That was one of the clues. Did you ever manage to find out the other 6? I still giggle when I randomly think about it"

[velvet narwhal]

don't forget the .! ._.

[vague flume]

reading all this seems that bypass Themida is more real than solving this without any helps

[misty raven]

Give Steganography a look

[earnest wagon]

Anyone else think that 3 steps out of 11 isn't actually an assessment of what it takes, but a clue?

[fresh quiver]

Out of nowhere. Every time 😂
„Did u ever found the third meaning“ it just haunts me

[fresh quiver]

Best „lore“ ever

Finding easter eggs in this game is still better than the brain fart i have in CoD Zombies

[merry nimbus]

awesome

[queen hornet]

just woke up, anything important happen in the last 6 hours?

[eternal violet]

11 is 3 in binary, 3/3 - those were the only steps

[earnest wagon]

Haha, love it.

also 311 * 2 = 622

Think I had something with the Lewis Gun Roulette clue. Rob appears to have repointed us towards the difference between 622 and 666 totals.

really don't know i found it on some wood thing

they said it might be behind a barrel

we can search for graffiti and the monkey

yeah

Lets search on foot then

One might be a bit more shy and are hiding behind some barrels… ._.

oh it's rob who said it

hey silly question but this comes out to DCXXII right?

[earnest wagon]

Yup. 622.

#1201288968562552863 message

[hard current]

Did you guys find any connections? sorry I’m scrolling back to when I was last on:)

[velvet narwhal]

622 is also on the lewis gun roulette skin

[silk flax]

Thought that was 666

[velvet narwhal]

it is 666 IRL but on the skin its 622

[silk flax]

Ughh me brain 😭

[earnest wagon]

I think the comment is giving us the nod that yes, the Lewis Gun Roulette adding up to 622 (and not 666) is the right path, and that the differene 44 (April 4th) is part of it too.

[balmy fog]

Hey there

Been a long time friends

[hard current]

welcome back bokb

[balmy fog]

Ohhh I’m not back!! Just passing by

Did yall ever solved the last pw?

The abc+def

[hard current]

nope., but a lot of new stuff since then

checkout #1198659083587297350

[balmy fog]

Wait so we’re still stuck on that phase?

Walk in the park Rob said huh

I see a lot of new hunters, it’s basically looks like it’s been a complete restart in terms of hunting knowledge since the game launched

[hard current]

yes.. we are moving in circles for the most part right now, though the older hunters are still focusing on this tier, the new hunters will learn, we all started somewhere:)) many new folks joined because of #1185727960980922488

[balmy fog]

It’s a WIP

[valid lichen]

We dont have enough time to search

[silk bolt]

yeah like 10 sec

[silk flax]

Why not try bank it?

[valid lichen]

Just go on foot I guess

[balmy fog]

ABC and DEF is obvious as Rob said

We found out it was viold evivi

Y’all had everything yall needed to solve it pre-launch

Wich means anything after launch is just going to give you a foggy head

[hard forge]

👆👆👆👆👆👆

[silk bolt]

is the death time in unranked tourne 25 sec or?

[valid lichen]

yeah

[balmy fog]

If I was still a hunter, I’d still focus on the key categories, if I remember correctly it was:

Gold, egg, latin, numerals, space-ish

[hard current]

now we have connections to pulsars, binary stars, and nobel prize winners as well hehe

[balmy fog]

From the old clues or new clues from in game?

[silk bolt]

game crashed

[valid lichen]

@rotund elbow

[hard current]

new clues, from the nama image #1198659083587297350

[balmy fog]

I remember SR saying we had everything to solve it, weeks before launch

[hard current]

yes, the stuff in this image is to “make it more obvious”

[valid lichen]

Alr i gotta head out now

[balmy fog]

anything after that is just answers to later hunts, wich doesn't help because there's no straight line to follow for new hunters

[velvet narwhal]

yep, but we are so braindead that he had to give us more clues (and we still can't solve it)

[silk flax]

Plus there's like other puzzles people are trying to solve at the same time

[hard current]

not exactly, the stuff in that thread does pertain specifically to this tier (rob said it’s to try and make the answer more obvious), but the roses, holtow, and other new things don’t

[balmy fog]

Ok I see

Let me question you @hard current

[hard current]

in fact we suspect we’re getting level three hints and clues now as well, seeing as rob said he expected us to be on level 3 a LONG time ago

[balmy fog]

Sometimes outsiders questions will give you answers, thats how we got viold evivi remember

What conclusion do you get out of the images you've seen that ''technically should condense'' everything

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message

yes I thought you were going to be on level 3 before summer 2023

[hard current]

nobel prize winners receive a gold medal

LIGO 17 and Jocelyn Bell were both hidden in the new image, both have to do with space/stars/gravity, and both won a nobel prize, which was a gold medal (all of this eyed by rob)

[balmy fog]

What is Nobel Prize and where does it comes from?

Who ''created'' this award, what year, and why

[velvet narwhal]

i thought Bell didn't get one

[hard current]

swedish award (which rob acknowledged as well) celebrating advancements in medicine, peace, economics, and physics, both winners we saw were physics winners

[earnest wagon]

Jocelyn Bell Burnell didn't receive a Nobel Prize, her superior did IIRC

[balmy fog]

Jocelyn Bell been mentionned before, early days

[hard current]

alfred nobel, we’ve looked into him, no eyes or anything yet, can’t recall year, and the reasoning may have to do with his invention of dynamite and the shame he would bring if that was his legacy (tho this whole story is disputed)

[hard forge]

we got her birthday as a clue in new image

Padlets are updated

[balmy fog]

allright so

Rob gave you an image where it should ''condense'' everything and the end of the image is nobel prize?

[velvet narwhal]

Alfred Bernhard Nobel
He invented dynamite. I think he got so rich by other peoples suffering that he felt bad and made the Nobel Prize to celebrate the good in the world

[balmy fog]

Pause, cataclysm

Every event has been linked to cataclysm before and deaths.

[hard current]

well, sort of, there’s something else hidden in the image that we simply can’t bring out, it takes complex knowledge of photoshop/gimp which we just don’t have

[balmy fog]

if nobel invented the TNT, it links to all the cataclysmic events

[severe zealot]

just to clerify... the golden clues mentiont in T1D are they connected to the ABC EFG passwords or are they used for the final password we are now working on?

[hard current]

golden clues have been categorized as not actually existing really for this tier, rob misspoke

[severe zealot]

oke thanks

[balmy fog]

Remember this:

Just like 1064 was the asteroid (Cataclysm), 79 was the eruption (Cataclysm) and Mendelevium was created by bombarding atoms together
Cataclysm links to ABC passwords

Gold was bring on earth via the big bang, that's how we got gold on earth

[hard forge]

not big bang..but supernova

[balmy fog]

Now Nobel inventend TNT, wich could also be potentially a cataclysmic event, TNT were also used to mine gold minerals back in the days.

[hard current]

we’ve thought about supernovae but haven’t realllly talked in depth about it

[kind patio]

Hey I just kinda got intrested in the easter egg stuff lol, out of curiosity, did anyone ever find out if we could do anything with the roses in the practice range?

[balmy fog]

Gold came on earth via the Big Bang, ultimately, watch it up

[hard current]

not yet:) we know they’re tied to saint valentine/valentines day

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah thats the Signature of Paul Klee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klee (we got the Paul Klee clue another way and rob showed us that this is also Paul Klees signature)

[hard current]

interesting you bring this up, there’s a man named thomas gold that has many ties to what we’re discussing, including supernovae

[balmy fog]

All links up doesnt it 😉

[kind patio]

Alrighty, so maybe something on the 14th? I also recall I think that one of the devs said they are able to be help for a reason or somehting along thoes lines

[hard forge]

i have told you this...

Thomas gold and JBB share the same medal!

[balmy fog]

The same gold medal too

[hard current]

JBB? remind me hehe

royal society medal right?

[hard forge]

yes

[balmy fog]

The path is narrow, we potentially know the last pw is one thing that possesses all of the above

Nobel Prize winners technically combine:

Gold, time, space,

where is the egg connection, find that one out

Anything egg related to the nobel prize, it should narrow it down

[civic hornet]

Still a lot of work to do with analysing the moon flashes but here’s what I’ve found from my short hour of research.

So far I have determined that there is 4 levels of brightness to the flashes which include:

-No Light
-Low Light
-Medium Light
-Bright Light

Will need a video of the moon on every map from the same angle and start time in the match (preferably the entire match) in order to line up and sync up each flash correctly

If possible we will also need two videos of the moon on the same map but separate matches to determine whether the pattern is fixed.
If in two different matches on the same map the lights do not line up then we have a problem.

I thought I had determined a pattern with the length of time each flash was present for but so far no luck.

[hard current]

I’ve tried that, there’s a guy that uncooked an egg lmao but that’s about it

[rotund elbow]

Uncook an egg

[balmy fog]

It is not only about it

[hard forge]

i think we can link some to egg-shaped

[balmy fog]

thats huge

[hard current]

like the medals… maybe lol

[balmy fog]

he uncooked an egg, so basically reversed time

its relativity

[silk flax]

But why uncooked the egg in the first place?

[hard forge]

vega?

[balmy fog]

so youve got an nobel prize winner that reversed time, won a gold medal, worked with an egg, is in the science world
