In mathematics and physics, many topics are named in honor of Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707â1783), who made many important discoveries and innovations. Many of these items named after Euler include their own unique function, equation, formula, identity, number (single or sequence), or other mathematical entity. Many of these entities ...
probably a +4
but the question is where is it being applied, evivi or egg?
if that is the case
+4? Can't follow. Brain is already collapsing in on itself
+1-2+3-4
i think thats the formula
unless its supposed to be the -1 thats been pretty consistent
which would be the formula backwards
or something
but i dont know where the starting point is
viold/evivi does give you 5 to work with
O Y E = 0 Y I?
I tried that for passwords, but I also used +2-3+4-5
so is viold/evivi the starting point or 0yE
Note that we have had both OYE and 0y3 (zero y three)
I mean like not really at all
Saint Rob doesnt make typos
Makes sense
Saint but yes
I don't understand why we are stuck in this tier
There are no coincidences.
0 Y iii
What we are doing wrong
Is it tho?
Opening our eyes, closing our brains.
100% is lol
I think so? This EE hunt was ready quite some time ago haha
Meh
What could Euler be about:
when you open your eyes your CNS(brain) mirrors the image
So we have OYE, mirroring something, latin, gold, egg
eulers egg riddle?
- Beauty? đ
Feels like History is a common thread
- 5 basic elements of math (e, i, pi, 0 and 1), like the 5 truths
(it's okay you can leave your message lol, no need to delete)
Hahaha just saw you already added the 5 truths edit
- 0 and 1, maybe binary?
Rob says OFC again in one of his latest messages... #1178137622359593043 message
Did we ever get a link to OFC/0FC?
best not to delete try to use to correct yourself
thats ~~
Devs are allowed here right...?
100%
maybe... are you trying to distract us again?
I would never... you know that.!
thats my job
named F11251937
We need to dig dipper into C64 instruction set
the petscii inputs maybe on the keys
4 corners would make and x marks the spot kinda no?
idk seems like a stretch
While y'all are here, I want to give a big thank you for making The Finals such a fun and fresh experience! I can't wait for season 2! @weary coyote @proud minnow
In PETSCII these would be characters 105, 106, 107 and 117
I don't know much about it but these characters are associated with I, J, K and U
Could be a date
Thank you for playing our game, we put tons of love and passion into what we do... (I really hope you will love S2 just as much as we do)... ._. 
Quaternions use the letters i, j and k for the 3 additional dimensions
11 25 1937
seems to easy though.
Probably
110% shows. Havent enjoyed an FPS this much since BC2
I think it's a PETSCII hint again, it's that C64 blue background again
ya everything is pointing at that right now
we've had 2 clues pointing us at Amiga and C64 recently when we were stuck
psst, we should probably try to get some sleep... ._. 
you start!
UIJK do form a circle on the keyboard
I have no doubt I will! I can tell there is love and passion behind the project. This is the most fun I've had playing a shooter in a loooooooong time. Keep up the great work, love y'all!
@brisk hearth I agree, I get Bad Company 2 nostalgia playing this game. I put a lot of time in the beta, it was a riot! Noob tube smoke grenades and defibs FTW. đ¤Łđ¤
is this related to petscii?
the gif symbols itself on the keyboard are
anyoone know why the turn red
This has probably been found already but there is also a CNS cybersecurity group in the UK
https://twitter.com/cns_security?lang=en
Here as he walked by on the 16th of October 1843 Sir William Rowan Hamilton in a flash of genius discovered the fundamental formula for quaternion multiplication i² = j² = k² = ijk = -1 & cut it on a stone of this bridge
I know, pretty hilarious... ._.
thats one of the hand emotes
Might not be the commodore 64... but still related to commodore
doesn't the ufo's in game look almost like this one?
I hope they didn't get any messages after the "hack videos" in the game đ
You are spot on, but how does this fit the big picture...?
rob did you see this?
Time to sleep (you too @weary coyote ...)
spot on but no eyes
his wiki page mentions the mos 6510 which rob gave as a clue when he was being "hacked" by cns
time to take a look at the mos 6510 and the commodore PET...
he designed the 6502 series
maybe we are looking for sign language in some sense
No eyes are only on things that is 100% correct... I mean this one I gave you for free... ._.
Thank you rob, we love free things
reminds me of the credits screen
6510 is successor of 6502
sign language or maybe hand signals
so space must be 100% a truth, can we finally clear that up đ
orr a thread
but how does it translate into the pw?
so chuck peddle headed the design of the 6502 series. the c64 uses a modified version of the 6502, the 6510 which rob gave as a hint
So it really was simply a date
okay so the Commodore PET was supposed to be ready for the Jan. 1977 CES, with Chuck Peddle's team which included Leonard Tramiel, who helped design the PETSCII craphic characters
or you need to emote somewhere in game
or it could just be related to devil horns
and the 666 reference
All these computers run on BASIC
6850 ACIA
And commodore was also the first company to license 6502 BASIC
hehe, no I missed that but it's part of the EE-universe, but just as quinary (or senary) clues, and these clues are so deep down the web so they are only there for the really curious...
yes and a F for respect...
Do we have a thread for any of the commodore/amiga stuff that's been touched on recently? I feel like I need some more background with what we've covered so far
what about this?
mesasage won't load. what was it?
We've established that Chuck is who's being referenced, but he didn't work on the commodore 64 at all... the GIF is definitely showing something on the 64 though
i mentioned 6502
he worked on what would be the framework for the c64
That's true... he's regarded as one of the "personal computer pioneers," along with the 6502's co-designer, Bill Mensch
Wait we can actually use that a bit to know that MOS 6510 is probably a quaternary clue đ¤
That or C64 đ¤
Okay it's a bad idea to think about that actually
keep this chat friendly and clean. Thankyou.
had a bit of a brain blast, that constellation everybody's looking for? it's probably in that rolling texture galaxy hoodie with the guy posed like the thinker
that just hit the store the day more other new clues got added
The constellation itself has been here for awhile already, we just don't know what it is or how to see it
It's on Vegas specifically
Huh
howâd you get this?
it's the filename of the GIF rob sent
wonder if the person you sent in the wiki is related to petscii
honestly starting the wonder if the password is just "petscii" altered in some way based on keys we already have
He is - when he was working on the Commodore PET, one of the people on his team was one of the designers of the PETSCII graphic characters
messing around with petscii, backwards you can get 23st3p, after seeing "step" step is a command in c64
We had âfind psw: xxxx-xx-xxâ
Speaking of, is a mirrored date format. Maybe we need a palindromic date thatâs mirrored linking to Amiga
also... some of the first games DICE released were all on Amiga
PETSCII code $FF is the BASIC token of the Ď (pi) symbol. It is converted internally to screen code $5E when printed onto the screen.
I shall find that monkeee
I suspect it could be a death statue
What I mean is that you might have to kill a player with a certain object and the player you killed will drop a three headed monkey statue.
or the 3 headed monkey would be a team of 3 in the finals looking for something that doesnt exist
He did say he'd give whoever find it a mousepad idk
The real 3 Headed Monkey was the friends we made along the way
sounds like a red herring
SUMMARY
Links: C64 - PETSCII - 6502
Gift from Rob : Chuck Peddle
my discord hangs when you post this
discord on mobile is ruined by gifs
The PETSCII set was mostly designed by Leonard Tramiel (son of Commodore CEO Jack Tramiel) and PET designer Check Peddle
This character set was first used by the PET from 1977
Fr
The BELL control character is 0x07
And for the Atari there is the ATASCII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATASCII
To me, the Nobel prize stuff points to inventions/creations/discoveries.
âFind psw xxxx-xx-xxâ points to a mirrored date and thatâs our password, itâs not been used yet.
Whatâs left is gold egg and space..
That's an interesting approach
The first time you posted it I had to restart discord mobile
The commodore PET is a backronyme
Personal Electronic Transactor
It means they thought about calling it PET before finding the meaning of each letter
At Commodore, Peddle convinced Jack Tramiel that calculators were a dead-end and that Commodore should explore the burgeoning microcomputer market instead
Chuck Peddle was the reason Commodore went toward personal computers
please post the links instead if you insist on posting it again. I had to clear the cache.
the PET, the first model of which was the PET 2001
2001 a space odyssey?
On a QWERTY keyboard the letters O, Y and E are spaced equally
Q W E R T Y U I O P
You have to go 3 keys to the left everytime
It's 1440x1080 and 30fps
I'm struggling to even type this because it's freezing my discord app
@fallen jasper consider deleting the message with the gif and remaking it in a lower quality, even on a decent computer it did freeze my Discord for a few seconds đ
Complementary metalâoxideâsemiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss", /siËmÉËs/, /-És/) is a type of metalâoxideâsemiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.
All I'm reading here it metal-oxide
Makes me think a lot about gold for some reason
The MOSFET (metalâoxideâsemiconductor field-effect transistor, or MOS transistor) was invented by Mohamed M. Atalla and Dawon Kahng at Bell Labs in 1959.
The entire world was invented at Bell Labs apparently
I thought is was... lol. sorry i tend to cuss like a sailor.
what if we have to use eulers equation on rows of a c64 keyboard and the petscii results would provide another clue to the password, since eyo on that row is 3 or +3 for each
Not sure what you mean by "use eulers equation"
isnt his equation like +1-1+2-2 ect?
Oh I see
I think it's +1-2+3-4...
just thowing ideas out
unless the equation is based on F11251937 that rob provided us
actually, âď¸ it's a series đ¤
like starting at the f keys
F to pay respect
not sure if your agreeing or disagreeing lol
i disagree.
and if "F" is to pay respects why give us the date he was born and not the date he passed away
like i said wouldnt he have just given us the date he passed rather than date he was born?
are you suggesting there is more to the F?
i think so, i mean just seems weird we're paying respects to a guy on the day they were born and not the day they passed
could just be me thinking its odd though
F11251937
"So it really was simply a date"
"yes and a F for respect..."
The pixels of the map glitching out look like they have something hidden
maybe if you combine them
in case you wanna know more. https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795
wait chuck peddle developed MOS, and also developed the 650x family of processors, used by apple, atari, commodore pet, and the related processors in the same family were also used in the c64
he designed the first commodore petâŚ
founded a company that developed the ACT Sirius 1
surely this shi cant be that hard
It's easy once you have the answers
that is insane
look at this
A MOS Technology 6502 processor in a DIP-40 plastic package. The four-digit date code indicates it was made in the 45th week (November) of 1985
4585 = 45th week 1985
wonder if we could use that style of date anywhere
Interesting idea
@unborn pilot any 4 digit numbers in the hunt you know of that have no connections?
interesting
0248 is still unsolved afaik, worth a shot in the dark
L cns
would that not be febuaray 1948 like 02 the month
i cant spell wow
3336588 has been interpreted but not confirmed as March 3 1988 (lunar eclipse date)
0248 is still up in the air afaik
if we do -1 and 0 is null you get aeg
nvm thats wrong
no thats right
19 77 6 18
1977-06-18?
0248 is solved?
Which ones that? This list is from older tiers.
I linked it above #easter-eggs message
Donât think so. I donât recall us finding it hidden anywhere even
Don't know if this is new or not, but I heard an interesting line from Scotty at the beginning of one of my games today: "Looks like our arena has loaded without mishap this time."
đ
Hey guys I think im onto something new in the practice range. In the tutorial, and ONLY the tutorial, the 2nd dummy from the back of the shooting range has a pink health bar. If you hit it with a rose, damage it, then finish it off with a rose, it makes the dummy behind it have a pink health bar. Only under those exact condition does it make the second dummies health bar turn pink
I was going to do the same to the second dummy and my wife kicked me off the tv
Someoneâs gotta carry the torch and move forward with this
I'll try in a few minutes
Yup. Give me a moment.
I killed the pink health dummy with all 5 roses and nothing happened, was a pain in the butt with how easy the roses break, had to keep redoing the tutorial lol. I also tried getting the pink dummy low and finishing it with a rose, and again nothing. Only if you do it exactly how I explained above, rose>damage>rose, does the next one turn pink
Doing it now, one moment.
âComputers for the Masses, not the classesâ
Sure
Sorry bout that
Thanks
Can you repost the screenshot?
it was just a notification saying someone reconnected to the match
Ah, unlucky.
Negative.
You're talking about this dummy, right?
Did you get the one in the back to turn pink?
Yes
Hit the one closest to me with a rose, shot it, rose to kill. Nothing happened.
That seems to be something indeed
Did it have a pink health bar?
How distinct is the pink? I hit it with a rose right away and nothing changed.
One sec.
Pretty distinct
I don't know why I'm making this hard.
We might need to find which dummy to damage next, I'm assuming it HAS to be a specific one else it won't turn pink anymore, as I tried with all after and none changed to pink
Great find!
Did it have anything specific to it before you shot it?
After killing the second pink dummy?
Yeah it has red health for you for some reason
I would try restarting the tutorial
Let's take the rose convo the #1203859365610922036 đ
@neon stream:
Yeah, Ă. It's like the null symbol we saw in previous tiers
:
yes... and that is why 0248 was hidden multiple times... and also the number 3336588... ._.
Is there a map of the training area?
what if the petscii that makes the full circle is supposed to be our eggs shape
and between the other code it ends up relating to something specific in space/ latin/ gold
I made a horrible one one day on my phone
i still want it
cns k đŞ
?
https://youtu.be/CJsgQv1YVkw?si=qIqySxZLNhyZWzY0 an interesting take on the EE hunt and lore of the Finals possibly sharing a universe with ARC Raiders, I signed up for the alpha either way. lol. Embark is doing some cool things!
weâre coming for you đ
u aint want the smoke scotty got that shi on him
106 117 105 107 would be the order that they appear in
Nope bro
nothing new.
But you can have a look at #1212747235578609795. We found multiple of them
Hey yo
Are there any launch option Easter eggs?
Steam launch option commands that cause ee to appear???
Could be worth looking into
we need to remember that rob is hiding things in/behind shaders
#easter-eggs message
you gonna see us in season 2 get ready đ
weird marking in certain spots in the twitch drop chamber chum
You know, THE FINALS is all about VR it seems. I became interested in the origin of virtual reality..
and I ran into something that mentions a few people and stuff we've come across
In that page, you'll see Horace, Dragons, Julius Caesar, ect. mentioned
That term relates to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Damocles_(virtual_reality)
Interesting, and now we live in an AR
Here's a bit about the man who made it (https://ohiostate.pressbooks.pub/graphicshistory/chapter/3-1-work-continues-at-mit):
Ivan Sutherland, acknowledged by many to be the âgrandfatherâ of interactive computer graphics and graphical user interfaces, worked on his PhD in Electrical Engineering in the Lincoln Labs on their TX-2 computer. Sutherland learned to program in high school using a small relay computer called SIMON
@unborn pilot Speaking of 15, you might get a kick out of this:
SIMON was a relay-based computer with six words of two bit memory. Its 12 bits of memory permitted SIMON to add up to 15. Sutherlandâs first big computer program was to make SIMON divide. To make division possible, he added a conditional stop to SIMONâs instruction set. This program was a great accomplishment, it was the longest program ever written for SIMON, a total of eight pages of paper tape.
Just getting into tech history, really; but incredibly fascinating given the implications today
Do we know anything about the canons pointing outside the map in Monaco?
I noticed that now it shoots a ball, before it seems not.
we ready n strapped w glitch bombs and nukes
Didn't know. Thx for letting us know đ
what is that ?
guys why is the website with the golden '?' called t1-f-1 instead of t1-abc like the white questionmark site is called t1-def
unconfirmed still
Instead of t2-abc and t2-def (t1 ?)
ah yeah oversaw it in padlet
Now time to think about on T1F1
i mean it sure must be referencing back to T1F and the others to T1A,B,C
in T1F we had to change the 'e' for a 3. Rob has been posting OYE & OY3 quite often
welcome here then.! đ
I would recommend to read our Checklist for new hunters in the pins: #easter-eggs message
Ah...
I mean I don't completely catch all of that but I have a general concept of what's happening...
(Not really, I completely short circuited.)
wiki is your friend
give it a day or two. you will see how everything is working etc.
Right now we are still working on TIer 3 of the main EE hunt. but we are stuck on this tier for over 100 days now
Oh my.
Who got 4k on this puppy? Was thinking yesterday that the twitch drop being a single bullet was almost embarrassing but not if there's a code on it
@stiff comet this is just a quick overview whats all going on rn. #easter-eggs message
and i dont know how updated it is rn
mostly reading here anyway
I think not. There are enough things outside of the game to find anyway. we just need to find more connections etc.
also you can try the passwords out for yourself at https://reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2
i would recommend to check different Threads and read some. maybe you can see patterns we dont saw yet or otherwise
Sir, yes sir.
Probably gonna be grasping at straws but I guess new blood is what counts đ
new blood is always welcome.
it might be that connections have been already found try to use the discord search function for this.Also thats what we use padlet or some threads for.
just dont worry to post anything wrong. better repost something then we miss something
Mmkay, I immediately zeroed in on anser as a clue.
Has that thread been solved yet?
Or am I late.
#egg-hunt-onboarding is your friend. in the padlet you'll see all connection we made (or most)
we had anser in some ways already found. As Star, As Answer without W, As male goose.
But these are probably not competely solved. As Also every clue is linking with other clues and with themes etc.
Uh huh, uh huh.
So I'm thinking, what's the answer to the question? That starts with what was the question? So what was the question?
Tying back to the question marks, supposedly.
(Please do not be afraid to tell me I'm going absolute diarrhea hogwash.)
Perchance this little buddy is the question we need to answer?
https://www.reachthefinals.com/whydidntanyonefindme-aminotimportant
I want you to let you do your thing.
I think we had this approach multiple times. But we cant figure out what would be the question neither the answer.
we have clues like g=6 etc.
Hmmmmmm...
Maybe goose is a better thread (goose lays eggs/goose egg meaning zero -> Nama Tama -> freddy fazbear or smth)
we found multiple things in this image.
A clue to jocelyn bell burnell
LIGO17 (the numbers in the corners are giving that)
and the signature of Paul Klee which we havent found, but rob showed us how it would look like. This signature is hidden behind approx 11 steps u need to do in photoshop.
Paul Klee?
Paul Klee (18 December 1879 â 29 June 1940) was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism
https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t3-dyra282bx402xxzy
have a look at the padlet when you don't have it read yet.
And this is just the padlet for tier 3...
dont worry. if its not helpful for us it might be helpful for you to catch up.
and also meet with Bob
#easter-eggs message
also rob give us hints from time to time.
you can look that up in the discord search bar with:
"from:rob_embark in:easter-eggs"
all our heads are smoking đ
we have some 5 truths
we have "goldenegg"
etc etc.
Padlet gives the best overview about everything.
Here are all padlets that exist from us: https://padlet.com/Kyne
I've only done like FNAF and shit this is like CIA levels of breadcrumb tracing.
I think mostly everyone would agree with you on this.
All tiers have different clues. #easter-eggs message
I'm gonna take a shower, go get a Coke from the corner store, and run back in Hansel and Gretel's forest...
Idk if this will help but I layered the glitch maps on top of each other
I can't send it though
Can you screenshare it?
Nah
Curses.
I can dm it though
happy 
be careful to glitches while you getting a coke at the corner, hehe
i would assume that other people has seen the ad screen with nama tama in a shoe that is glitched in monaco (and it says "are you ready" in the top left corner)?
Can I dm the photo to some one to send In here
sure
from @runic furnace
i wonder if this means there will be a new map like skyward stadium
as well as the big new one
Anything to do with the Cowboys and Aliens thing this week? There is a comic called Cowboys vs Aliens, might be there a reference of something?
movie as well aint it?
Yeah, based on the comic
ye figured
Next map could be Mexico?
New map variant could be âHackedâ. Where everything is glitched out
The whole plot about Cowboys and Aliens is about humans fighting against aliens, which consider us a low tier race that must be destroyed. Within the humans there's a girls that turns out to be a shapeshifting alien that wants to kill aliens aswells, because the former ones killed her alien race.LMAO
In The Finals recen't trailer June says that CNS should be participating in The Finals if they want to be heard instead of hacking the games.
Might be CNS part of the big fishes but not as evil as them THCAN TCHANNNN, just as in the comic
Nice bluuuunnnttt
scotty or june sometimes says at the beginning of the match "the arena has succesfully loaded" it made me wonder if we're gonna get a glitched map varient in the future where the whole map is glitched
Yeah, a glitched mode or map would be so cool
all maps are based from different years, what if the map is glitched so it will be same town but parts of them are from different eras
makes sense
like london 1902, 2002, 2042
but that kinda makes it more of a remix stage than a glitched stage
The Finals is just the perfect game to introduce live events such as Forntnite did, but with the lore
we gonna start seeing the Monaco Church in Skyway Stadium
And there's already skyway stadium for that
true
I hope they get more architecture styles in the game instead of more Monaco and Seoul buildings đ
yeah im not a huge fan of those
I love how Monaco and Seoul play but just a bit repetitive
i dont like the small spaces of the monaco buildints
The whole map being that glitched texture with no other colors would be blinding
it doesnt have to have the glitched texture everywhere its the idea of distorted models n stuff
atleast thats what i had in mind
what texture 
Exactly
It's just cubes
Haven't we already gotten snippets of the next map?
We have?
In the latest lore video
I don't think I've looked through it
Rockhound did a breakdown
I should read through that thread
What are the snippets?
#đâlore pinned message
Is there a third one?
huh
k/
i am not sure on / because there are many dashes
we are out of focus rn
Is this a new spot or nah?
On new game mode behind toilet
Forgot there was a new game mode.
Oh, sorry
This may be a little bit of a geewhiz moment but these seem to be in places that the viewers wouldn't notice (viewers being audience).
So we can likely expect these patches to be bigger in more high-traffic areas as CNS takes a greater hold over the show.
(Again, gee whiz, but I'm just brainstorming.)
Though what is interesting is that it's the same pattern of when you "break into" the game or respawn.
Maybe CNS is trying to get into The Finals through unsavory means? đ¤
where did these keys even come from
why noone hasnt sent CPET wiki page here before
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET
because rob eyes these keys #easter-eggs message
Commodore keyboard
there were many commodore keyboards
you get different symbols if you use the keyboard rob has eyed
That's Commodore-y.
petscii is a clue
#easter-eggs message this has petscii too
i dont think we had any Commodore PET clues, seems like somebody just found a random commodore keyboard from wiki when googled petscii
however we have commodore c64 clues...
Maybe pore over the credits screen while you're on the train of thought.
I know I sound like a broken record but it's proven to belie more information than we think.
Upon closer inspection, maybe not.
It seems to be just dev thanks.
Anything besides the first few frames may be outside our range of investigation (?).
#easter-eggs message
So we believe the gif above to be Petscii symbols.
These are the unicode numbers for those symbols
U+256D = Tier 1D â
U+256E = Tier 1E âŽ
U+256F = Tier 1F âŻ
U+2570 = ??? â°
1F appears as the odd man out?
ââŽ
â° âŻ
they also (obviously) form an egg shape
Byte referred to the PET, Apple II and Tandy TRS-80 collectively as the "1977 trinity".
https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+256F looks normal here
so if those collectively form an egg
what can we do to get the gold half of the password
ya i realize that
just curious that it isn't consistent on here
Suppose it would be too simple if we just tossed the number 256 in the password bar.
likely yes
Bollocks.
the password we believe is combination of gold + egg
Gold, AU, Australia, Aussie...
I see you are new here, you should really check out the new hunters guide #easter-eggs message
and read the wiki over a few times
UPDATE: THIS IS WRONG
CHECK THIS ONE: #easter-eggs message
TEAM FORTRESS 2 REAL?????? đ¤Ż
this is the shit i like to see
hadnt we some lines/bars in one namatama which we could not figure out?
i believe so ya
enlighten me
interesting
the clock hands
new approach is interesting
yea i started to think more Commodore-centric
gold in ascii, egg in petscii, then translating it to ascii?
Race ya there.
fantastic
also extended ascii has common characters
namabatama
the bars/lines in the bottom right corner.
Doesn't look like much of anything to me...
yeah they were being referred to as clock hands I think
Where are those lines even found in the image?
I could sorta see that.
using c64 keyboard you get YB@@@@ i think
on the white shell
doesnt say much
12:15 isn't a particularly exciting time.
yep but its possible that we could write that in petscii. just a random thought
let me try to draw
I'll leave it to the pros, I dunno how to write in petscii or what that means.
dont worry. never heard of petscii aswell until yesterday.
Though this certainly doesn't seem like a usual schizo trail, this seems promising.
Best to observe when first starting out to see how things work around here and get up to speed. Appreciate the fresh eyes though.
sorry no on the right
I think we can create a soft link to Petscii here
I know, I know, I'm green...
I'm interested in these swirls around egg...seems like a cut out, or morse code-y.
Then again, morse code is so last year.
Pretty sure they have been partially decoded. Again, you really should read the wiki.
In early September 2022, after the Gamescom teaser trailer for THE FINALS was released (late August 2022), a series of related cryptic Easter egg clues started to be presented through concept art released via THE FINALS Twitter account. Several additional clues to help the community solve the puzzles were also posted exclusively on THE FINALS Di...
can this be linked to petscii?
Not extremely helpful, but I appreciate the tool tips.
spacing width difference
thats on the same key as a quarter circle, interesting
I mean it is very helpful to understand how we got to where we are now. Not doing so is going to be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
uhhh
8bit?
those lines are 4 symbols i think
â§ = 9703 as @hard forge previously mentioned
Name: Square with left half black
Unicode number: U+25E7
Category: Squares Encoding
HTML Entity: ◧
HTML Entity (hex): ◧```
i havent considered that, drawed by assumption
Alt codes for the quarter circles:
9692 = â
9693 = â
9694 =â
9695 = â
weird they show up like that
wait.. that can be 7 not 8
This page its where we are https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3
This is a great tool.
https://style64.org/petscii/
Muuuch more helpful, thank you.
yeah but you have to read all the previous tiers too.
oh bollocks
Nice work, do the ratios line up?
working on it right now
not really i guess
pipe is way longer
but those are the closest chars
jumpin jehosaphat
how did they do it
I couldn't get two paragraphs in before I completely short circuited.
hey wait a min, this thing works different
What thing.
petscii drawing
Ah...
We still need to look at the bigger picture.
How will everything link to viold evivi?
We have everything but we are still blind đĽ˛
All keys, no locks.
okay this is true im sure
how so
Like reassemble the letters with the lines.
Yeah that's a stupid idea...there wouldn't be any sixes in it anyways.
Maybe we need to add the amount of bits each of these represent to arrive at something?
Hmmmm!
could be used else where to have the line to be G and the O to be a corner in the top left maybe?
as the g's are both the same
so it could be code to be used elsewhere
Are you saying reassembling the letters wouldn't be complete hogwash?
no, I am saying that maybe elsewhere in another image/glitch thing maybe that the letters and lines could mean something
Aha.
do you get what I mean? also if its complete nonsense tell me
idk. anywhere
No, no, it makes sense.
ok
I wouldn't be surprised if it went that deep.
There was a golden Nama trinket as an alpha reward. Have anyone tried to check it's texture or the way it looks like?
And NT pictures are meant to lead us in the right direction.
Do you have any pictures or something like that?
Couldn't find it at a cursory glance.
this is what there is so far going ahead by my "key"
there's also the inverted or mirrored versions of the letters
yeah
Don't have it. Found an image, but it seems I can't attach it here

need to be yellow rank to attach images
switching E for a 3?
what do you mean? it would just be 3 then
@solid jay do you think this code is similar to anything else that has been posted here
or the shapes
this code?
yeah, sorta just the shapes in general
not in particular? at least not presently? we are just looking for ways to manipulate Petscii
alr
Well, this was fruitful.
I'll see you all in the morning, I'm leaving this chat for now.
sorry thought the 3 had also a corresponding pescii symbol but nope. just looked at the keyboard
ya no worries a good thought but ya just a 3 or # lol
Not really sure what I'm doing with this yet but thought it would be worth sharing
just got back in here again and scrolled through what i missed. Just to recap what happened, as the chat was a bit overloaded:
GIF from Rob is pescii --> each letter corresponds to a symbol on the C64 --> we wrote GoldenEgg with the Symbols and also now IJKU which we got from Robs gif
Did i miss something?
Close, I don't think he wrote anything with the symbols just the GIF to put us onto petscii
fair enough
we believe the lines in this image are a link to petscii #easter-eggs message
in mid right hand side
hmmmm. ill try ovum aureum in pescii and see if something pops up
lol i've got it open on my second screen
what website/program is it?
an yeah that's the one I was using
ya the Xs were interesting
.
Rob mentioned (i think quite recently?) X marks the spot
and X was quite important in the previous Tiers
VVV
that was the nama tama ceasar
we went full circle
probably not relevant but just noticed the + and - are opposite
he said
Devs are allowed here right...?
before post this. So it should be about values, unicode etc..
so GOLD + EGG would actually be GOLD - EGG at least in this editor
last unicode digits are 0DEF
ya i mentioned something about this briefly here #easter-eggs message
uh great! i wasnt reading sorry
No worries!
I used alt codes here as well #easter-eggs message
Going to take a bit of a break for lunch. Be back in a bit.
in this case GOLD is 7fc4
Just stuff im gonna try after dinner:
caesar
anser
ya i wasn't entirely sure how to read this reference https://style64.org/petscii/
yea looking the same page
Not sure if this has been discussed but 666 has popped up already. You can only get 666 if you write egggolden and swap the g's with 6 like in the previous tier. Has someone made this connection?
It also fits with OYE. Egg is on the left side instead of the right like, like the Tiers are displayed on the website
Also fits mirror clues as well
Just some brainstorming before we go back to pescii
egggold
e = 3 (OYE/OY3 & mirroring of E again)
ggg = 666
O = 0? No clue tbh
E = roman for 50
L = roman for 500
god damm what are we coking today? đ
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Pasta is ready. See you in a bit
A+B+C=65+66+67=198
198 is U+0046 -> 6 is G for Gold
it's a bit forced but.. đ
also U+0046 is F
hey wasn't F=6 at somewhere
@proud minnow is this why F=6 Rob? How we doin
do you guys think the 3 headed monkey is activated or found
What's that
0 = 0 or null we believe
Any news about the glitches around the maps?
oh yeah i forgot
Thanks I was very lost
Thx thx
To add to the F=6 crazyness
#easter-eggs message
But i wouldnt see how we could cram 'space' in there. Or quite a few other themes
File name for the PETSCII gif is
F11251937.gif
Not sure if that will be super helpful.
I suggested that its a date and Rob confirmed it
And F is to pay Respect
Not joking
The date points to a guy who worked on the C64 i believe
F
F
F to u
F
What dont you get
TF he means by f is to pay respect
old meme from a COD game, can't remember which one
just spamming
FFF
So these glitches... Once all found, they're expected to form a shape, or we're expecting more to appear, and they're just a random event teasing S2?
just spamming
Cause don't you think the same of the white rabbits? Just a random event
I Stacked all the locations of the glitches together earlier but I doesn't look like its right
Each of those glitch locations have some significance
Definitely
could align with constellations
I think I'll try to stack the glitches together next they seem like they make pictures
Maybe itâs the location of a change thatâll come to each map in S2?
Since they have to compete like the most recent âbroadcastâ said
So we may not just get a new map but all maps changes
that would fit and be a really cool way of breathing some life back into them outside of the timed events.
Any Progress?
this sort of speculation belongs in off topic not in EE chat
a little but not much
#đâlore or #âĄâthe-finals-chat actually.
Better than last time I checked in.
psssssst Rob, in the tutorial there are two dummies in the back of the big range that have different health bars. We can't consistently make the dummy health bars pink or blue and were wondering if that's an oversight somewhere, or if it's actually part of the rose EE!
I thought this was related to the sonar grenade?
You can sonar, you can shoot them, but there's no rhyme or reason to it happening, and it only works in the tutorial.
I was speedrunning to get there to sonar them, shoot them, taking my time, and nothing was consistent. Sometimes one had a blue bar, a pink bar, or sometimes both had pink bars. Once killed, they were back to red.
Have yall checked with recon and thermal?
Did you check them multiple times to see if they changed in a pattern?
It's only two dummies. If they were both red, I'd sonar the whole arena and nothing else would have another colour đŚ
But out of all the runs I did, I got double pink once, a blue bar on the first one, then multiple with nothing special.
Hopefully someone smarter gets on it and can figure it out and we're not just chasing ghosts of EE past
trying to connect these clues is short circuiting my brain
we gotta update the padlet
Psst⌠I just saw a 3 headed monkey live⌠it will be live on all maps for 132 minutes
nice try, there's nothing behind me
Whaaat?
And i am not at home 
look again, have tried a MIRROR
i'm the three headed monkey?
a reflective surface perchance?
have a good weekend rob

does this mirror have an edge
cries in low textures and old pc đŚ
Give me mirror locations and I'll zoom to em
Keep in mind this site doesn't display both sets of character codes for PETSCII characters which are repeated.
For example:
3:57pm EST + 132 minutes = 6:09 PM EST, looks like we have until then
I don't know any mirrors on any map. I think it's a reflective surface
Reflection of a sniper scope? That would let you see behind yourself
And this site gives you screen codes (https://sta.c64.org/cbm64scr.html), unless you're using the inverted version... in which case it gives character codes (https://sta.c64.org/cbm64petkey.html)
....?
In Sweden the time will be 00:09 midnight
Some people have tried using the Thermal Vision gadget as a mirror before
This and any metallic surface. In las vegas should be a lot of reflective stuff
9 minutes AFTER midnight?
Yes!
Are there any gadgets that are reflective as metal/glass?
Can't remember any but heavy's stationary shield
Bruh: #easter-eggs message
anything that pulls a padlet out sorta reflects (zip, pad, thermal)
Can't play right now, but the new ray gun is pretty reflective...
According to the context, it seems it didn't work (I guess)
Well Rob just implied something has changed in game with the ability to find the 3HM
do they have server-side control of it somehow? that's interesting in itself
I thought originally it was only on monacoâŚ
correct me if Iâm wrong but.. rob pretty much said it was on monaco
why all maps all of a sudden?
obvious takeaway if true, it's not connected to the event
He gave up on us...
He didn't give up, he just gave us more paths â¤ď¸
Are the statues in monaco reflective? That's the only reflective thing i can think of
I would try:
windows
shiny surfaces (some floors/ceilings?)
someone should try the practice range
Iâm unable to as Iâm working
Glitches are on all maps
Does the practice range count as a map? đ¤
wonder if the glitches are going to lead to some âmixupâ in the maps, i.e. monaco becomes a mix of monaco and vegas or something similar
worth a shot! we got just under two hours to try
is this monkey visible even with lowest settings?
I think they open up to show us the truth beyond the walls
Can't steal a cashout in PR... Tutorial on the other hand... but it's pretty locked down. IDK that there would be a mirror to use there.
The walls and ceiling there are pretty reflective
argh did I miss a three-headed monkey just now?
nothing in the water reflections on monaco unless im a vampire
odd map reflection on seoul but no monkey
Can you look at your self
for now it's only in Monaco i think
Psst⌠I just saw a 3 headed monkey live⌠it will be live on all maps for 132 minutes
Can't find anything at practice range
will be*
I've played the game only for a week, and am just now looking at the easter egg hunt. Is there any consolidated information documents or anything to catch me to speed ?
does that mean from now on..
he said live on all maps
Uhhhhh, I found some Season 2 stuff
OHHHHHHHHHHH
-egghunt
Check out #egg-hunt-onboarding
Catch up with this great summary: https://youtu.be/XaU6Fo2utBY
Follow the ongoing progress through Padlet: https://padlet.com/Kyne
Good hunting! đĽ
i thought it will be live with S2 on all maps
Im not sure if anyone has found this stuff yet...
Use search đ
I cant put pictures here, where should I put it
It could potentially help with lore and stuff
How did you get to this s2 stuff?
impromptu 3HM Hunt
You can upload to imgur.com and paste a link
Make sure to look at the wiki (ps you can click the pictures)
Its in the files
Thats a big nono
wdym
We don't look at the files
Why not tho?
Thank you, I'll stop messaging here for now so I don't spam a bunch of redundant questions.
itâs against the rules of the hunt
ahhhh
No going through game files
Well I wont say anything then
Iâve created a thread for the impromptu 3HM hunt #1213235832069160960
arhhhhhhhh
Dw It's okay to ask questions
Can I get access to speak in the thread ?
No we cant
How does it work ?
https://www.giantbomb.com/three-headed-monkey/3005-2043/
May be worth looking into. I'm combing through, lookinf for some sort of double meanings rn
Wait is there a monkey helmet in the game
do you meant the 3 headed monkey?
No I mean like an accessory in the finals
nono rob doesnât lead us astray
its prb not a literal monkey
I think it is. It is a reference to the three headed monkey in the game series Monkey Island
Who were you responding to here Rob?
It looks like responding to them all collectively, they were roughly jumping about the same idea
from what rob said, it sounds like he's replying to fish
hi
now I am replying to you
Ooooooo
LETS GOO PROGRESS
tbh faz in the gc had the idea about firing cannons
if this is correct mousepad goes to faz lol
no screenshot?
I knew the canons had something to do with something haha
Like the donkey Kong cannons
There aren't cannons on all maps though right?
5 on monaco
lemmie have a look
sea ones
rob said the monkey was enabled on all maps
but is mainly on monaco
Did they just add anything on the other maps?
glitches
I don't understand the comment about turning while stealing
đ¤Ż
Personally I can't move lol
yes there is
What sense when
you have a command wheel
Do you mean to mark smth by middle mouse button?
Then how would it be live on all maps?
And seoul, and vegas?
Then how would it be live on all maps?
I didn't see any on Vegas when I ran around.
different methods
Unless they're well hidden.
possibly?
is anybody in a group right now or are we all just running around in seperate games?
Southwest corner of Monaco thereâs one pointing outside the map
shhhh
45 minutes left
ROB IS TYPING
Ahhh
faz your turn
Then by the fountain by the woods another pointing out
u trolled....
Another idea: you might have to mark an imaginary enemy for your teammate behind them. After they check the mark, you mark it again and noone should turn around
just realized they send messages when friends boot up the game
i had to relaunch because my game didnt auto update
Rob, it will still be active on Monaco after that, right?
wait what are we doing?
rob said the 3 headed monkey is on all maps for another 40 minutes
it always has been active
FIRE THE CANONS
any hints?
ALL OF THEM
Rob said sumn about monkeys and mirror so fuhh our teammates we gotta hunt quick
just mirrors
the windows reflect
yeah but why is rob giving an update on the time if its noit actually
tf
maybe this is a special one
@unkempt dune send an ss
Seems highly unlikely
good luck guys
We might need to interact in some specific ways
Like specific position or stuff like that
Did we ever establish if the tutorial/PR counts as a "map"?
We might need to pickup a reflective item and steal while holding it
I canât find the third canon
Cannon thing was a joke?
to me it isnt
We don't really know about the cannons I think
Idk
But if it's enabled on all maps it's 100% not related to cannons
Give the details or a screenshot smth..
No one really has the details. People are trying to work things out in the time frame we were given.
We've got about 30 minutes left to see if someone can find something
canons + 3 headed monkey = đ¤
faz, show me the canons on Seoul plz
one shoots towards hospital bridge
looks like it's a part of your character model that you aren't really supposed to see
