easter-eggs

[dull marsh]

wat

[hard forge]

are you sure?

[dull marsh]

No

[hard forge]

just turned on the game

[coarse dagger]

Can someone explain to me why we're focusing on cannons when it's currently available on all maps?

[snow walrus]

What if he is teasing with us

[dull marsh]

Just looking for ways to look behind yourself while stealing a cashout

[slender oasis]

emoting maybe?

[plucky kettle]

prolly not as not everyone has the emotes

[dull marsh]

I don't think you can steal at the same time

[slender oasis]

shield

[quaint wing]

Just an emote. Everyone has an emote. That's a good idea.

[slender oasis]

holding mesh shield allows you to see behind you

[dull marsh]

Not while stealing

[slender oasis]

yeah true

[quaint wing]

Solid ideas. Run through, steal something and emote just after, or just look behind you.

[silver rock]

Check weapon reflections too, since they reflect your first person player model

[slender oasis]

i tried the dagger cheese grater skin

[silver rock]

Does the sword have a pretty strong reflection?

[slender oasis]

idk about the others

[dull gorge]

oh yeah emoting while ur team steals maybe

nvm someone said that

[dull marsh]

Maybe stealing while holding another vault??

[alpine junco]

imagine it's a jump scare

[turbid tinsel]

is there a pointing emote or anything?

i havent looked at them in awhile

[slender oasis]

what about the throwing knives

[alpine junco]

only things that reflect are the windows

the hut windows reflect the walls and windows behind

[twilit forge]

The ray gun, but wouldn't expect we need to spend $$

Or whatever currency

[runic furnace]

I saw this while brainstorming " The angel number 132 is a mysterious phenomenon that has appeared in people’s lives for centuries. It’s believed to be your guardian angels sending you a message or a sign to help guide you on your path."

[slender oasis]

buildings on skyway and buildings on las vegas reflect

[hallow saddle]

Golden trim on las vegas reflects the player (mostly) and things surrounding you

[slender oasis]

that could just be my raytracing tho

what about tv's

[compact sapphire]

Guess it shoudn't be hard to perform and everyone should be able to see it, if it's the real monkey or whatever it is

[turbid tinsel]

i swore on skyway there was a reflection of somesort like a long string but i couldnt read it and match ended

[slender oasis]

The tv's in the rooms kinda reflect

[quaint wing]

I went through a ton of them on Vegas and saw nothing other than my own gun 😦

[turbid tinsel]

the sunglasses are reflective at least in the main menu screen

[silk wolf]

Maybe using thermal vision at the same time?

[hard forge]

just tried that

[silk wolf]

Hmm

[hard forge]

how much time is left?

[dull marsh]

17min

[hard forge]

did anyone post it in main chat?

[dull marsh]

From what I understand it should still be on Monaco after that

Rob

[dull gorge]

imagine not knowing about the EE and just seeing a fuckin monkey on ur screen

[dull marsh]

Stealing while holding another vault would make sense tho

Pretty rare, you have to look for it

And vault is pretty reflective

Actually not that reflective hmmm

Just tried it, couldn't see much

[hallow saddle]

I'm at a loss. There has got to be something missing.

[dull marsh]

Especially I don't understand why 132 minutes XD

[twilit forge]

Longshot but any relation to mirrors edge?

[runic furnace]

I found this idk if it's usefull "OGLE-TR-132 is a magnitude 15.72 star in the star fields of the constellation Carina"

[mental shadow]

"Sometimes when Guybrush is defeated in an Insult Sword Fighting duel, he would also shout, "Look, a three-headed monkey!""

maybe need to do something with a sword?

[alpine junco]

"The three-headed monkey makes minor appearances in the game. He appears in Herman Toothrot's flashback.

If Threepwood waits around Monkey Town (formerly the cannibal's village in the first game), the three headed monkey can be spotted in one of the huts."

[quaint wing]

Well, we have a little under 3 minutes.

[slender oasis]

Where are their huts on the map

[dull marsh]

6 minutes no?

[silk wolf]

There’s one in Monaco by the southwest canon

[dull marsh]

One what

Oh the huts

[slender oasis]

a hut

[quaint wing]

He said 45 at 5:20 my time

[alpine junco]

the little cabins

[dull marsh]

We can still look on monaco tho

[hard forge]

time over?

[alpine junco]

im on monaco rn

[quaint wing]

Time's about to go, unless my math's not mathing

[silk wolf]

Although it’s not really a hut it’s more of a outhouse

[hard forge]

Anyways Rob gave a clue anyhow.

What's common between all the maps?

[slender oasis]

But we didn't find the clue, and it'll be gone in 4m

[sand crest]

felt like not even 132 hours would have been enough 🥲

[gloomy anvil]

4 more minutes

I couldn't even steal a cashout let alone spot a three headed monkey

[feral sparrow]

Cns don’t like the bias wrecker

[quaint wing]

I stole a cashout, but the whole building toppled on me when it happened. Ended up winning and no other teams were able to touch my cashout 😦 Only gave I got on my break

[sand crest]

it's over

[gloomy anvil]

nop

[silk wolf]

So 4 canons on Monaco

[dull marsh]

5

[quaint wing]

I'm pretty sure there's 5 on Monaco.

[slender oasis]

what about the mask from the other limited time event

[gloomy anvil]

there are more than 4 cannons on Monaco

[proud minnow]

Time is up, OYE and figure out when the next time they are coming out to play…

[slender oasis]

Spotlight stealer

[sand crest]

rob said 45 more minutes at 12:20 and it's now past 01:05..

[quaint wing]

The monkey goes back into hiding. Until next time

[copper sequoia]

Something to do with the opening with all the contestants

[fresh quiver]

so there might be specific times when the monkey is showing? 🤔

[alpine junco]

i didnt post 1

was doing a cash out

[twilit forge]

You tricked us this time, there was no monkey, but maybe next time?

[sharp flame]

I MISSED THIS

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[quaint wing]

Our saint would never lead us astray! We were given a task and it seems no one was able to figure it out, not us anyway.

[slender oasis]

So would this be something we can all access, aka not based on cosmetics, but something on the map. Does it need to be something seen with all types of settings, like raytracing.

[alpine junco]

point emote

[hard forge]

Rob just wanted to show the team that he has COMPLETE CONTROL over EE hunters.

[sharp flame]

every time you ping something yeah

[fresh quiver]

Might it have been around 66.6% moon?

[timid solstice]

im too busy playing daaaaaammmm

[silk wolf]

What do all maps have in common that would merit an activation for a 3headed monkey

[gloomy anvil]

that's a good spot

[runic furnace]

Carina is a constellation in the southern sky. Its name is Latin for the keel of a ship, and it was the southern foundation of the larger constellation of Argo Navis (the ship Argo) until it was divided into three pieces, the other two being Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails of the ship).

[alpine junco]

there are other versions

[slender oasis]

Cannons maybe, glitch clusters, windows and mirrors

[silk wolf]

Guys, the three headed monkey is the teammates we made along the way

[gloomy anvil]

in stockholm specifically https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/sweden/stockholm

(or, europe generally)

[unkempt dune]

When they come out to play the next time, will they come by the practice range too?

[snow walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/amongus-amongsdp-black-emergency-meeting-black-emergency-meeting-gif-18720662

Gather around hunters

[slender oasis]

Lowkey we just need to figure this reflection stuff before the next time comes around

Especially since we have such a limited time

[copper sequoia]

Could Rob meant to Open Your Emotes while the game is starting when they are introducing the contestants?

[hard forge]

who pressed the buzzer?

[feral sparrow]

Red

[silk wolf]

Also oye in Spanish is listen

Also, who’s the third announcer on the maps is that confirmed to be anyone?

[snow walrus]

🔴 I suggest a Sunday meeting at widest common timezone. Let's talk about our progress and what we do wrong

Call old hunters too

[hard forge]

I agree

[mental shadow]

woops

wrong chat

[small marlin]

I have just scrolled through the finals community wiki Easter eggs website, and came across screenshots of 3 white rabbits on the map of Seoul. I do not know, maybe this has already been talked about, but the first thing that came to my mind was the phrase from the matrix: "follow the white rabbit"

I just saw it just now, maybe it's been talked about for a long time, idk

[copper sequoia]

It has

[snow walrus]

#1197268508623515849

[full token]

or a team of 3 chasing you trying to stop you from stealing/cashing out/depositing maybe lol.

[small marlin]

thx

[full token]

Did anyone see anything out of the ordinary at all? - Unlucky, next time maybe. :/

[snow walrus]

EMERGENCY MEETING 🚨

[runic furnace]

Konami code?

[full token]

I got into every map except Vegas and played every mode.

[junior swan]

Oh noo, I was asleep : ( 132 minutes aren't enough for all of us to participate

[slender oasis]

I got into everything but Monaco, and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary

[strong cloak]

HOW MANY MINS LEFT

[runic furnace]

None

[hearty meteor]

-33

[silk wolf]

In Vegas there was like these three yellow signs on the ceiling of one of the casinos but I doubt it was anything

[gloomy anvil]

turns out it's moving backwards and became 66.6% after the 'hunt' ended

sadly

[strong cloak]

rip

[gloomy anvil]

it was a great shout though

[strong cloak]

😭

[alpine junco]

need to mention this

[fallen jasper]

Huh

[solid jay]

[alpine junco]

2029 is mentioned by june

[full token]

I agree, I only saw mostly Red Moons or Full (afaik), I was looking up to check though.

[small marlin]

someone tried to decrypt this?

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

[hearty meteor]

why are there so many reactions lmfao

[runic furnace]

I thought the same thing 😂

[gloomy anvil]

[runic furnace]

Hmm

[alpine junco]

just the same thing he said

[runic furnace]

It's backwards

[alpine junco]

reversed

[unkempt dune]

man, I wanted to show them my collection of roses that I've been gathering

[gloomy anvil]

ah of course

[proud minnow]

is it really…?

[alpine junco]

?...yllaer ti si

[unborn pilot]

thgir i ereht <- extra i there

[hidden nacelle]

the forest on Monaco maybe 🤔

[alpine junco]

🤯

[gloomy anvil]

the i only appears in the mirror

(just reframing what we already know)

[unborn pilot]

hmm

[snow walrus]

Hey whats that I

[runic furnace]

Palindromes??

[copper sequoia]

?bor neht noitcelfer rieht dnif eno thgim erehW

[snow walrus]

I for EYE?

[alpine junco]

i for an i

[unborn pilot]

a palindrome, but with something extra

or something missing

[gloomy anvil]

paliindrome , lol

[jade citrus]

cmon guys OYE

[runic furnace]

I gotta say Rob and his team are so smart

[gloomy anvil]

but I'm so sleepy...

[turbid tinsel]

"haha that would probably be a bit too easy, and between you and me there are no mirrors there i right."

[hidden nacelle]

right i there mirros are there me and you between and, easy too bit a be probably would that. 🤔

[eternal violet]

how do i open an i, how does that work

[turbid tinsel]

see above

he wrote it backwards starting from the end

[twilit forge]

Aka mirrored...derorrim aka

[hard current]

so not mirrored but reflected

[unborn pilot]

if i is closed then maybe i -> o

for open

[alpine junco]

EXTRA 1

i = 1

[hard forge]

Hey Rob, did you draw that monkey using PETSCII art?

[snow walrus]

Press i while looking a mirror?

[runic furnace]

🤔🤔

[gloomy anvil]

that'd be PC exclusive

[hard forge]

what does I do in game?

[unkempt dune]

you don't think we need to look into another player's eye, right?

[snow walrus]

Connect a keyboard..console owners 😂

[proud minnow]

no it’s hand drawn… ._.

[gloomy anvil]

😔

[hard current]

the extra i in rob's wording, maybe what we're looking for isn't a perfect mirror

but slightly off

[runic furnace]

I =self?

[hard current]

... 1 off hehe

[hearty meteor]

inspect weapon?

[proud minnow]

What is i…?

[hard current]

1

[jade citrus]

what am I...

[twilit forge]

searching through the tried passwords thread, i dont see anything like "goldeneggggenedlog" or "violdeviviivivedloiv" ( the words mirrored like rob did with his sentence #easter-eggs message)
going to go through a few of these

[hearty meteor]

[junior swan]

Phew I was afraid to run into a jump scare. A real three headed monkey would be scaring haha

[gloomy anvil]

don't know, I don't play PC 😂

could be inspect, inspecting a reflective weapon?

[snow walrus]

🔺️

[proud minnow]

What do you play on..?

[hushed beacon]

rob is always lurking 💀

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-joystick-funny-dog-xbox-funny-animals-gif-18411432

[alpine junco]

Imaginary unit

[hard current]

hey what's i on the c64

its petscii symbol

[hearty meteor]

mankind knew they could not change society… so instead of reflecting on themselves they blamed the beasts… heaven or hell, duel 1, lets rock

[snow walrus]

Arc

[jade citrus]

ARC Raiders mentioned

[runic furnace]

A computer, a screen, a game, a TV?

[unkempt dune]

i is 69 in hex

[sharp flame]

does nothing unless you bind it

[bronze wolf]

NICE

[unkempt dune]

in octal it's 151

[runic furnace]

I look at a screen?

[odd crater]

Ị

[hearty meteor]

a contestant? idk

[jade citrus]

did anyone actually try using the thermal vision gadget as a mirror in-game?

[proud minnow]

haha

[odd crater]

Black-> white white->black?

[hard forge]

iota?

[runic furnace]

incomplete

[hard current]

wait i is also an imaginary number

[snow walrus]

i is for identity

[dull gorge]

emote facing away from the reflection but turn the cam ?

[alpine junco]

yes

-1

[copper sequoia]

i = internet?

[alpine junco]

square root

[hard forge]

√ (-1)

[timid solstice]

i = 9

[hard current]

wait mirrored..

it's not just a reverse

it's a literal flip into negative

[proud minnow]

Exactly, so remember this the next time the monkeys are roaming behind you...

[odd crater]

What is Ị...¿

[hearty meteor]

tie to euler

[snow walrus]

What can we do with an arc..

[hard forge]

Arc

[timid solstice]

under a cave? on monaco?

he posted the ice cave from indianna jones

[bronze wolf]

gather two of each animal lol

[dull gorge]

90° right turn

[hard forge]

Rob while you are here, what's PID 9703? ◧

[runic furnace]

What key would this be on a standard keyboard?

[vital oar]

mirror it to the left?

[unkempt dune]

arc huh..

I think that means the Arctic Monkeys are somewhere 😎

[hard forge]

Grappling hook?

[runic furnace]

😎

[timid solstice]

3 or 8 ?

[turbid tinsel]

do we just need to spell out viold evivi using petscii equivalent?

V is X,

and x marks the spot

[timid solstice]

you are refering to this right

[runic furnace]

I would be I...

[hearty meteor]

woahhh

[jade citrus]

i -> arc -> raiders of the lost ark -> cave (pic from rob)

[hard current]

x marks the spot

[odd crater]

That mean V?

[hard forge]

soo iota is relevant?

[timid solstice]

https://www.numericana.com/arms/descartes.htm
https://www.numericana.com/arms/descartes1.gif

[copper sequoia]

gotta find the x now

[alpine junco]

ix?

[snow walrus]

U+25DD

[hard forge]

[snow walrus]

◝

[proud minnow]

the lore is so deep, this is actually really cool, but this is for the future my friends (you don't have all the pieces to this puzzle yet... one day, one dawn...)

[hearty meteor]

thats the wrong direction

[hard forge]

🪞

[hearty meteor]

ah

[alpine junco]

🤔

[hard forge]

good question

[odd crater]

Rob givin hints for all tiers and still stuck in t3 😂

[hard forge]

LEVELS!

[jade citrus]

we dont do datamining

[hard current]

we don't dig in the game files 🙂

[pale quarry]

oh

[hard forge]

nooooo

[hearty meteor]

please delete that ty

[alpine junco]

LMAO

[gloomy anvil]

still waiting for 8 to be used in a level 2 pswd, maybe T3 could round it out nicely?

[pale quarry]

sorry thats my bad

[hard forge]

thankyou

[timid solstice]

no worries thanks for removing

[hard forge]

if you found it yourself just keep it between you and embark

[pale quarry]

yeah sorry lol

[dull marsh]

X is there

[runic furnace]

Great find

[proud minnow]

OK this is the wrong channel, but I will be extra nice for once...

[gloomy anvil]

I was looking for this, couldn't remember what tier it was from

[sharp flame]

haha yeah we analyzed the hell out of those images already

[hard forge]

[sharp flame]

ARC RAIDERS REFERENCE!!!!!!

[odd crater]

Arc raiders and the finals: Same universe 💥

[hard forge]

[proud minnow]

Open your eyes

[hearty meteor]

where did the r go

[solid jay]

The Petscii codes are arcs as well

[snow walrus]

Raided

[gloomy anvil]

is there an EE that will activate the Arc beta 🥲

[hearty meteor]

damn

[sharp flame]

ARC aiders

[hearty meteor]

oh it was a typo

[snow walrus]

Lol

[sharp flame]

a tipo

[proud minnow]

that was typo, haha

[timid solstice]

my issue is I can't tell what's for this tier and what isn't

[slender lodge]

ARC

[hard current]

I'm trying to open my eyes rob I am

[timid solstice]

welcome to the hunt, are you new

[turbid tinsel]

i dont see anything in the arc raiders discord

[unborn pilot]

9x1 size -> ixxi

[sharp flame]

true.. half of this stuff is probably for upcoming content like last time 😭

that, or more lore

[hard current]

you're gonna make me cry flex

[alpine junco]

An arc angle is the degree measurement of that angle inside the circle, opposite the arc.

[timid solstice]

sorry its ok we will get through this all together

[gloomy anvil]

I still don't know if the C64 / demo / Petscii clues are important to T3 😅

[hard forge]

WAIT THERE IS AN ARC RAIDERS DISCORD!!!?

[slender lodge]

if this is the "wrong channel" then whats the right channel 🤔

[sharp flame]

it's been dead since Alpha 🪦

[alpine junco]

"When different lines are used to create segments in a circle, the placement of those lines results in the formation of arcs and angles. When two lines intersect inside a circle, they form an angle at each intersection. The curved portion of the circle opposite such an angle, between the two line segments or rays, is called an arc.

An arc's length is the measurement of that arc along and around the outer edge, or circumference, of the circle. An arc angle is the degree measurement of that angle inside the circle, opposite the arc."

[timid solstice]

https://discord.gg/arcraiders

[snow walrus]

Arc discord

[sharp flame]

stop 😭

[dull marsh]

There are arc minutes and seconds

[sharp flame]

noo stop 😭

[dull marsh]

To measure angles

[alpine junco]

THE NUMBERS, WHAT DO THEY MEAN!?

[dull marsh]

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

[slender lodge]

oh thats fair lol

[hard forge]

english channel ?

[sharp flame]

rob did NOT name his game after EE guys PLEASE STOOOOP

[odd crater]

Says who? 🤔

[sharp flame]

soon we're gonna be analyzing media with "Finals" in the name

[dull marsh]

Doesn't mean he didn't find a way to tie it with the EE

[timid solstice]

im confused, rob hinted that the arc is a clue for the monkeys??

[acoustic canyon]

connection?????

[sharp flame]

not at all

[hard forge]

That's for the future fellas

[jade citrus]

[sharp flame]

we asked him about the one rainbow clue

[turbid tinsel]

off topic but arcs steam db page was updated a few days ago

[sharp flame]

[hard forge]

Eye on the target monke

[solid jay]

Wouldn't Euler be connected to arcs?

[hearty meteor]

the player is lebron james trapped in a simulation

[sharp flame]

can we quarantine this chat

until S2

it's not like we're gonna solve anything

[odd crater]

Reject the finals become monke

[hard forge]

#1213265473706139698

[slender lodge]

s2 before arc raiders

[timid solstice]

you sure? he added an i in the mirrored text, i = arc in petscii
and thats to help find monkeys

[dull marsh]

@desert glacier Do you think we could have some vocal channels for EE hunters?

[hard current]

fish 😦

[desert glacier]

I can take note of it, you can send it over at #👂┇game-feedback as well

Hi Rob! 👋

[dull gorge]

so the monkey still in monaco right

[proud minnow]

no... that would be too easy... search the truth...

[turbid tinsel]

the time has come and gone

[snow walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/controlmypc-cat-screaming-discord-gif-20582295

[solid jay]

maybe a 15 second chat delay in the meantime?

[gloomy anvil]

reacting to one, very specific message, with a very specific emoji, will grant a new channel

I'm calling it early and you all owe me $15 if I'm right

[unkempt dune]

has to be the eye emoji though

[odd crater]

What truth. The finals is in a virtual simulator. Its all fake.

[slender lodge]

$15 to each hunter if youre wrong

[acoustic canyon]

do you owe me 15 dollars if youre wrong

[gloomy anvil]

deal!

... should I regret that

[silent coral]

My brain cannot comprehend this at 1am

[silent coral]

😨

[dull marsh]

The X on the image is located a X=344 and Y=308 from the top left corner

[vital oar]

we have to mirror to the left
it also matches the petscii symbol of the arc to the left and the ' I ' symbolizing the mirror?
what is the mirroring point though

[wanton horizon]

Taking a moment to appreciate robs genius in creating such a massively deep ee hunt...

[sharp flame]

don't worry I will be trying very hard to prove me wrong

[silk wolf]

I is U and U is I

[jade citrus]

[gaunt kiln]

Okay but actually zooming in REALLY hard on the dots
https://imgur.com/4PREByA

[timid solstice]

gn hunters

[sharp flame]

We need that 🛑 emergency meeting 🛑 soon though

[dull marsh]

Is that also an X?

[alpine junco]

i is for inals

[sharp flame]

Nope, even older clue, the Ceres symbol

[dull gorge]

x and an arc

[timid solstice]

alchemical symbol for Saturn / Lead or Ceres

[jade citrus]

i is for "i want to be done with this tier"

[gloomy anvil]

It's a 9x1 pixel image, that blur is how your media viewer copes with such a low resolution

[dull marsh]

We know we might have to stack images that have the same dimensions, I think the X is pointing to something interesting on another image

[snow walrus]

Normally he posts in official art..

[gaunt kiln]

Are there screenshots matching these color samples then?
https://imgur.com/okPWyAk

Like official art?

That one above matches the yellow of this sample quite well.

[gloomy anvil]

It's Arc Raiders, another Embark game

[dull marsh]

Wait, the X on the image is right next to the letter F from "THE FINALS"!

[runic furnace]

Oooooo

[proud minnow]

I post everywhere... ._.

[urban minnow]

what are you trying to figure out?

[silk wolf]

I though the earring was Saturn or gold

[dull marsh]

AND IT'S ROTATED 90 degrees to the right!!

[hearty meteor]

how do you explain the i’s in there

[timid solstice]

or is MIRRORED

[dull marsh]

Cuz it's written "THE FINALS", but the X seems to indicate the letter F only

Holy shit

We are looking for the spectrum

I thought about it

[gaunt kiln]

That's great, it's the same color set from their other project. I'm still trying to make sense of it.

[urban minnow]

@solid jay Whats the password for?

[vital oar]

yeah F has been a big part of this hunt but where does it fit

[dull marsh]

But Rob seemed so against anything not Commodore that I ignored it

[dull marsh]

Spectrum links stars, satellites

X-rays

[silk wolf]

Colors

[dull marsh]

Gold (and all elements) have a specific spectrum

[urban minnow]

Spectral lines of Gold

[gloomy anvil]

cosmetics, that is (I love cosmetics)

[hearty meteor]

wat

how did you reach that conclusion

[quaint wing]

I mean, we're looking for the password. It's just that simple.

[vital oar]

where does F fit in this?

[solid jay]

its how they see objects in space with satellites

[dull marsh]

No idea, these are two different threads

[silk wolf]

Idk but in Monaco there’s a place called lilac garden or something like that

[dull marsh]

Rob has mentionned spectrography before

[vital oar]

ah got ya. was about to explode hahaha

[hearty meteor]

no, i was asking how thats correlated

[hard current]

what image is this?

[silk wolf]

And the last few official art have been purple/lilac colored

[proven gazelle]

Oh shit. I see S LIES in that image.

[dull marsh]

[solid jay]

and i answered, different elements give off different wavelengths

[hearty meteor]

oh yeah right space was a thing too

[gloomy anvil]

[proven gazelle]

Amiga?

[dull marsh]

It's onto the "SPACE" key 🤔

[jade citrus]

SO COOL !

[solid jay]

@dull marsh take this to the einstein thread?

[proven gazelle]

Or c64

[dull marsh]

Einstein thread seems like a dead end if you ask me

Many many links but no eyes

[solid jay]

ya but just to keep it from getting lost

[silk wolf]

I heard June say something about Einstein in the game

[proud minnow]

I know and it is still working, it's a beauty.!

[dull marsh]

So if we use those colors with the according numbers keys on the same keyboard we get

2 6 4 5

Or mirrored is 5 4 6 2

[vital oar]

left again on the picture

we had now three different things pointing to the left

[solid jay]

Calcium spectral lines

[quaint wing]

Mirrored password, but inside out?

[vital oar]

e = i
i is imaginary so we leave it
we mirror to the left of e/i?

[solid jay]

AY YO I GOT SOME EYES

[wanton horizon]

Oh man

[proud minnow]

wow I did not see that one coming NOW...

[full token]

e^(i 𝝅/2) = 1. | i = -1 , i^8 = 1 | i^3 = -i

[jade citrus]

I think we're about 6 months late on that one...

[dull marsh]

Calcium mass 39.962591

[timid solstice]

freaking EYES for calcium NOW??

i was about to go to bed

[alpine junco]

What are the ranges

[dull marsh]

I'm sure chemistry has something to do with it

[alpine junco]

The numbers

[quaint wing]

We've found so much. Someone put it together. We need this password. Please. I'm begging

[solid jay]

Calcium Triplet

[silk wolf]

The alchemical symbol on the brown eyed girls ear means something

My guess would be it has something to do with the process to launch a program on the C64.

[timid solstice]

I think we missed or did not solve the clue that pointed to that image for that tier

[alpine junco]

Imagine all this

And no password

🤭

[unkempt dune]

https://www.daystarfilters.com/calcium.shtml

Calcium H and K-line filters do not require F/30 configurations. They may be used at F/15 or F/20 or greater. They also do not use the same RED or Yellow glass Energy Rejection Prefilter. Rather, we recommend dielectric "hot mirror" UV/IR cut filters introduced prior to focus.

[snow walrus]

[alpine junco]

input calcium

Output egg

[dull marsh]

Might be looking at Calcium spectral lines, which wavelength are in Angstrom https://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/Tables/calciumtable2.htm

[solid jay]

Open Your Eyes = the colour spectrum

[silk wolf]

Space = Break

[hasty anvil]

Maybe something to do with the colours the human eye can’t see

[solid jay]

We can't see the entire spectrum of colours but certain animals can

[unborn pilot]

4032 x 3024 image size
12.19 megapixels
Aspect ratio = 1.33 (1 1/3)
Angle of diagonal = 0.644 rad = 36.9°

[hard forge]

Takeaway:
Spectral lines didn't get any reactions. But Calcium Spectral lines get eyes.
So we have to be 100% correct to get eyes.

[proud minnow]

Have a nice evening/night/day/morning... you have everything you need, I believe in you, you will crack this soon... time to sleep here in STHLM, Sweden...!

[timid solstice]

gn rob

[hasty anvil]

Eveing?

[acoustic canyon]

crack it like an egg

[solid jay]

good night rob thank you for the eyes!

[proud minnow]

(hope all you other people in my time zone go to sleep soon too)

[dull marsh]

Some calcium energy level which finishes by 063 15210.063

[hearty meteor]

ocko is missing from stockholm

[hearty meteor]

[dull marsh]

Always

[timid solstice]

maybe this was the clue ?

for spectral and pearls/calcium

[quaint wing]

It's a common abbreviation

[dull marsh]

Good night rob

[proud minnow]

so many typos tonight, sorry, haha

[hasty anvil]

We just have to make sure 👍

[dull marsh]

Typos or ... "typos"

[unborn pilot]

yeah and he's been saying STHLM for a while.

[hard forge]

Mendelevuim

[solid jay]

Calcium offers TWO strong absorption lines at 393.3nm and at 396.9nm, known as the K and H lines. Researchers have previously avoided the H line for academic research, as it is very close to the Hydrogen Epsilon line.

[hard forge]

and you were right.

[timid solstice]

maybe some one can link something on the padlet that would lead us to Spectral Lines of Calcium

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1e-ohsl9b4w3ncqnvqe

[hasty anvil]

Calcium spectral lines and a link to northern lights somehow?

[solid jay]

That would be earth's magnetic field

[timid solstice]

different tier, 5f137s2

[dull marsh]

At this point which tier a clue belongs to might not be as relevant as before

They might all be somewhat relevant to some degree

[solid jay]

What if we take the wavelengths in nanometers and spell the word EGG

[dull marsh]

I looked into that the other day

Into elements with a spectral line of 366 or 663 but didn't find anything relevant

[vital oar]

and 666?

[dull marsh]

Lemme check again

[runic furnace]

Is there an opposite of a spectrum

[dull marsh]

Good one, Argon has a spectral line on 666.0109

Cesium has 639.36 which is somewhat palindromic

If anyone wants to look into spectral lines you can use this website, it has a list of all spectral lines per wavelength or for each elements 😉

https://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/Handbook/Tables/findinglist1.htm

Each wavelength does correspond to a matching temperature in Kelvin of a black body

[eternal violet]

nobody else finds this strange that he keeps mentioning the place where he lives?

[silk wolf]

Hey my names Kelvin

Am I part of the Easter egg??

[dull marsh]

If you contribute enough I guess yeah

[silk wolf]

Whole time I’m just a decoy 🫥

[dull marsh]

Isaac Newton was the first to use the term spectrum

Starting in 1666, Newton showed that these colours were intrinsic to light and could be recombined into white light

[turbid tinsel]

wasnt specturm given as a clue in the pink floyd cover art as well?

[dull marsh]

Sir Isaac Newton FRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27[a]) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, and author who was described in his time as a natural philosopher.

That seems to fit multiple of the themes of the EE hunt clues

[snow walrus]

Im reposting this and heading to sleep

[hard forge]

ahh

[silk wolf]

Other than Alfred Nobel idk why he’d mention Stockholm Sweden

[vital oar]

same. Gn all and nice job! and pls crack the pw in the next 9 hours

[brisk hearth]

i see you are a man of culture. Praise be.

[solid jay]

In omni scientia

[dull marsh]

Newton wrote his papers in Latin #1213296010902900797

We can note that Rob might be getting frustrated too at us being that stuck, based on the amount of clues we've got tonight 😄

[bronze wolf]

this lil maniac mansion/monkey island side quest lead me to something neat, and maybe connected somehow

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-65

first magnetic card programmable calculator and Ron Gilbert (maker of Monkey Island) said it inspired him to make games

[sharp flame]

How did you know it was calcium?

[bronze wolf]

• During the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, the HP-65 became the first programmable handheld calculator in outer space.

• the HP-65 used Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) and a four-level automatic operand stack.

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

https://tenor.com/view/thats-not-something-you-see-every-day-you-dont-see-that-every-day-thats-rare-to-see-shocked-not-an-everyday-thing-gif-15330034

[dull marsh]

Shit, I've had to use that in the past, brings back memories

[dull marsh]

Probably looked up "calcium spectral lines"

[solid jay]

Ludo linked the gold spectral lines and I was curious about calcium's spectral emissions

[dull marsh]

If anyone wanna join in vocal I'm in Team 2

[solid jay]

Bit of a lucky guess but spectrography has come up a bunch and the rainbow pixels kinda clued me in a bit.

[bronze wolf]

ok, I think this little HP-65 calculator is connected the more I read along with some of today's info

• there is a gold function button on it, but also an inverse version

• a gold f−1 prefix key would access the inverse of the gold-printed functions,

kinda points back at imaginary numbers and negative numbers being the reflection

[stiff comet]

wh

What did I miss.

[dull marsh]

Ok I think the "X marks the spot" does indeed point to F like in the image, just like yesterday he said "F for respect" and then again said "F"

[bronze wolf]

starts pointing to this, but I don't understand any of this heavy math stuff
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period-doubling_bifurcation

[stiff comet]

I missed a Rob tip 😭

Seriously someone catch me up to speed.

[dull marsh]

Probably easier to scroll back an hour or two and read from there

He dumped a lot of stuff in a short amount of time

[stiff comet]

ugh

Not my idea of an awesome Friday night.

[brisk hearth]

could the letters we keep isolating be in reference to the periodic table too? like F and E being Fe = Iron?

[dull marsh]

I mean if I want to summarize I'll have to do that myself 😄

[stiff comet]

Curious.

[hard forge]

did you read the wiki AND the Padlets?

[stiff comet]

I tried my best.

[solid jay]

This is def not Chad EE hunter behaviour.

[stiff comet]

I think I have it.

[dull marsh]

Great to have new hunters tho 😉

[stiff comet]

Anyways.

Iron.

[solid jay]

What about iron?

[dull marsh]

I'd advise to just try to grab on a thread and start digging, use Discord search features, you'll get up to speed that way!

[dull marsh]

This

[solid jay]

Ah

[stiff comet]

Exactly.

[brisk hearth]

im not saying the answer is iron, but rather do we use the periodic table in some manner and are the letters we keep seeing a nod to that

but then again, metals/medals has been a very common thread so far

...iron being a metal

[gloomy anvil]

I think I need to read Flex's document fully, all of Lulz's breakdowns, re-read every Wiki page, and follow every single Padlet connection across every tier.

Then review every single T3 clue, and solve the password. Simples!

[vital oar]

f-1 you saaaay 👀👀👀

[dull marsh]

Overall F might simply be a reference to "function"

[brisk hearth]

f1 = formula 1...duh!

[vital oar]

The t2abc site is called t1-f-1

[bronze wolf]

image of the calculator just in case

[dull marsh]

I checked that yesterday and found that there were quite a few F1 games for Amiga and C64

[brisk hearth]

oh no... i said this as a joke x_x

[dull marsh]

I know 💀

[brisk hearth]

everything connects!!! ahhhhhhh

[dull marsh]

The major Fraunhofer lines, and the elements they are associated with, are shown in the following table:

There are quite a few letters (including e and G) which are associated with Elements and specific Wavelengths

As mentionned before the K line is super interesting 393.366

[stiff comet]

Like iron?!

[dull marsh]

The iron suggestion was interesting, but not very solid for now imo

[stiff comet]

Rats.

[dull marsh]

Calcium seems like a great candidate as the calcium spectral emissions was eyed by Rob

[stiff comet]

Maybe Calcium, calcium like egg, egg like ?

[stiff comet]

Beat me to it .

[solid jay]

Yeah that's basically the first thing I looked at too and why I suggested the wavelengths

[stiff comet]

393.366 = 393.3GG = 393.EGG?

[dull marsh]

I see that redshifting (and blueshifting) hasn't been mentionned much, but it does link the spectrum part to supernovaes, space, spectrum, universe expansion, etc.

[dull marsh]

That could be a lead, gotta dig more to see if we find any other link or if something gets eyed

[stiff comet]

Hmmmmmmmmm…

[solid jay]

Not at PC which one is most predominantly associated with gold?

[dull marsh]

The emission spectrum of gold shows a line of wavelength 2.676x10^-7m

[stiff comet]

E9E.EGG >reverse the nine> E6E.EGG > EGE.EGG…

(I’m going insane.)

[dull marsh]

For now we haven't seen 9 being reversed to 6

[stiff comet]

Thought so.

[dull marsh]

But we've all gone through that idea 😄

[solid jay]

Ya dude you gotta chill, you're spamming a bit.

[proven gazelle]

yolk

[stiff comet]

sorry

[proven gazelle]

whats the saying

about yolk?>

[coarse dagger]

You convinced yet that Rob uses "mirror" and "reverse text" interchangeably?

ahhh. yeah. for some reason i was thiniking eye was the saying.

[solid jay]

No worries, gotta crack a few eggs to make an omelette.

From THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Keep_It_Simple_2160x2880.png ?

Not the same kind of X tho

[solid jay]

Is it possible to get the wavelengths of each of these colours?

[stiff comet]

Similar enough for a thread.

(I hope.)

[stiff comet]

I look up RGB and hex codes…

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible certain images have to be overlayed on eachother

[bronze wolf]

this ron gilbert rabbit hole got interesting

[turbid tinsel]

like maybe the ones with an x on them

[dull marsh]

THE_FINALS_NeverOddOrEven.png

[solid jay]

Ya I was thinking this as well

[stiff comet]

Blue: #64f2e6 and 100, 242, 230
Green: #23ef83 and 35, 239, 131
Yellow: #fdd00e and 253, 208, 14
Red: #fa0e0a and 250, 14, 10
Just enough to set off my pattern senses, but nothing substantial.

[rain comet]

We gotta keep it simple, the answer is never odd or even plus some other words from the other pics released

[stiff comet]

Yes, yes.

[dull marsh]

This one has many screws but I don't feel like it would count 🤔

[stiff comet]

Wait…a number that is never odd or even is any number that is not an integer, i.e a decimal.

[solid jay]

No, 0 is never odd or even

[stiff comet]

0 like an egg?

[unborn pilot]

NeverOddOrEven is a palindrome

[runic furnace]

🤯

[stiff comet]

Yeah, I know, gee whiz…

[turbid tinsel]

the one imagae is named red sports caracter and is missing the H

[rain comet]

What of the answer is just h0lt0w?

jk

We gotta try a variation of the passwords rob said almost correct

[solid jay]

The H line could refer to the calcium spectral lines

[rain comet]

There has to be one password that is off by like 2 or 3 chars

[dull marsh]

Stacking the two good images with some X doesn't give anything obvious to me

I'm not even sure about the second X tho, as it's only partially visible

We might be overthinking it and it's literally just pointing to F

[coarse dagger]

That's because all the image titles that tier were references to Van Morrison songs.

Who Drove the Red Sports Car? is a song by Van Morrison

[dull marsh]

If the second X is correct the it would point to T and F

I'm overlaying other same dimension images to see if it points to anything in particular

One of the images is called THE_FINALS_Screenshot_015_3840x2160_F.jpg, F again... (at the end)

[frigid marsh]

When it said "look beyond the walls" did it mean using glitch grenade on out of bounds areas to maybe find an opening?

[stiff comet]

?

[dull marsh]

We have no idea

[frigid marsh]

Like the borders in Monaco,

[unborn pilot]

Yes 2 are F, the rest VVV and QB equal 15. F is 15 in hex #easter-eggs message

[solid jay]

You won't physically have to glitch out of bounds, but might be something you can see from inbounds.

[hard current]

VVV also is 15

5x5x5

[unborn pilot]

015, 018, 024, 025 -> 0+3+6+1 -> 630 and 1

geo and i

[coarse dagger]

VVV and QB equal 15

[unborn pilot]

Vvv 555 5+5+5
Q 17 - b 2 = 15

[dull marsh]

So right now we have letters E, F and G? 🤔

[hard forge]

Hey lulz

[hard forge]

if you are still maintaining your EE GitHub, add this #easter-eggs message to 6510

[hard current]

so the names of most images in this tier point to 15 or?

[dull marsh]

Idk why, I feel like the image names might be important

It's an easy way to hide a lot of information

[stiff comet]

It probably is, but with how much we’ve pored over them it’s unlikely.

[dull marsh]

I'll try to look at them all and see if I can spot a pattern

[loud stream]

0 is even...

[solid jay]

No 0 would be nothing

[dull marsh]

Nope, recently we found stuff from a somewhat old image that was overlooked for some reason

[loud stream]

0 is even. 0 mod 2 = 0

[stiff comet]

So it is.

[loud stream]

0 is congruent to 2 base 2

theat means its even

[coarse dagger]

I am still maintaining it, but currently I'm only documenting image clues.
Does this relate to one of our images somehow I'm not seeing?

[solid jay]

You sound smart I'll take your word for it.

[loud stream]

lol

[coarse dagger]

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

In mathematics, zero is an even number.

[hard forge]

images..nope. I forgot the only image clues part, sorry don't mind me .

[solid jay]

Gotcha. I actually remember reading that somewhere.

[unborn pilot]

Gold in hex mirrored.

F ꟻ 15 51
D 7 13 7
0 0 0 0

• the other clue with 1551707 has 15 51 7 0 from this
  70 (decimal) = F (ascii) so is this whole thing "ffff"?

• all the 007 clues the entire tier must be a golden clue..

[coarse dagger]

No biggie.
I would love to document any and all clues there, but that not sure when/if that'll happen.

By the way, anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute to the Github, just submit a pull request!

[bronze wolf]

OK, this feels like something genuine, so lemme organize my thoughts a bit:

• Ron Gilbert, creator of Monkey Island, made the SCUMM engine used in a bunch of games that have been linked all over the place (Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Zak McCracken)

• SCUMM was first built at the Skywalker Ranch with LucasArts and the roots of the engine are a program called Graphics Basic for HES, Human Engineering Software (HES, also known as HesWare)

• Ron Gilbert started his career at HES, which was started by Jay Balakrishnan and Cy Shuster in 1980

[runic furnace]

OOOOOOOOOH GOLDEN EYE THE 007 MOVIE

[bronze wolf]

• With research into the PET ROM, Balakrishnan wrote the first 8K 6502 Assembler, HESbal (HES Basic Assembler Language) in BASIC, and an accompanying text editor, HESedit.

logo for HESware on their game boxes:

starts getting a bit technical for me beyond there, but it's a nice connection directly to petscii

fun bonus fact: spokesperson for HESware? Leonard Nimoy

The F spectral line is for H-β (Hydrogen-beta), 486.135nm and a cyan color

I'm gonna dig a bit into the history of the ZX Spectrum

[hard forge]

@bronze wolf good work. Also post it here #1204475718747029535

[bronze wolf]

good call 🙂

[dull marsh]

ZX Spectrum

Its distinctive case, rainbow motif and rubber keyboard were designed by Rick Dickinson

The addendum 'Spectrum' was added later on, to emphasise its 15-colour palette

That image is very reminiscent of #1178137622359593043 for some reason

Later in 2014, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega retro video game console

The follow-up, the ZX Spectrum Vega+ was designed as a handheld game console

[hard current]

put this in rob look here

[dull marsh]

Richard Francis Altwasser is a British engineer and inventor, responsible for the hardware design of the ZX Spectrum
Altwasser graduated at Trinity College, Cambridge
That's the same college as where Newton was

Does Ca (Calcium) = CA (California)?

The video game crash of 1983 (known in Japan as the Atari shock)

Unsold Pac-Man, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and other 1982 and 1983 games and consoles started to fill their warehouses. In September 1983, Atari discreetly buried much of this excess stock in a landfill near Alamogordo, New Mexico, though Atari did not comment about their activity at the time.
Oh now I know more about that story lol

[bronze wolf]

did they end up trying to dig up some of those games years later?

[dull marsh]

It led to a urban legend of them burying many more games than they really did

A few years ago some people were allowed to dig there and proved that it wasn't as big as the legend

Chuckie Egg is a video game released by A&F Software in 1983 initially for the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Dragon 32/64
It was ported to the Commodore 64, Acorn Electron, MSX, Tatung Einstein, Amstrad CPC, and Atari 8-bit family. It was later updated for the Amiga, Atari ST, and IBM PC compatibles.

Doug took on the simultaneous development of the BBC Micro version, whilst Mike Webb, an A&F employee, completed the Dragon port.
Webb might link to JWST (James Webb) 🤔

Chuckie Egg 2: Harry again, working through a factory attempting to create Easter eggs complete with toy

After delivery of the completed egg, the game restarts with additional monsters and a different toy to assemble. In order, these are: a motorbike, a vintage car, a yacht, a space shuttle.

Rob has mentioned that Dragon might be part of the EE hunt, seems appropriate to talk about these computers

Now am gonna sleep, see ya!

SEARCH “COMMODORE 64” or “THE C64” … i feel old now 😭💀

How those glitches can be helpful to us?...

[dull marsh]

Aragonite is the crystal form a Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and can have a hexagonal shape

[wise trout]

i dunno but i cant post there

[fallen jasper]

Man idk you got a full team here and they haven't found anything remotely interesting

[coarse dagger]

Those have all been noted in the thread already

[mystic storm]

The spectral lines of Calcium (Ca) include the strong absorption lines at 393.3nm and 396.9nm, known as the K and H lines respectively. These lines are significant in solar studies, aiding in determining the depth of the solar atmosphere. Additionally, the resonance doublet of Ca II represents the two strongest lines in the visible solar spectrum, with the H line at 3968.469 Å and the K line at 3933.663 Å. These lines play a crucial role in understanding the chromosphere and are observable with ground-based facilities.

[scarlet mountain]

Lmao

[silver rock]

sigh I'll grab some tape

[turbid tinsel]

@desert glacier this is a rob imposter account no?

[silver rock]

oh shoot it is

[turbid tinsel]

Thanks fam

[wanton sundial]

[scarlet mountain]

What Easter eggs are there to do

[ancient otter]

did we have new 👀mark?

[scarlet mountain]

Maybe

[turbid tinsel]

if arc raiders is in same universe as the finals, what better way to make an announcement for your next game by having a crazy s2 buildup into it from the finals.

[scarlet mountain]

True

[velvet lava]

ayo?

[velvet lava]

my bad, didnt know yall found it already 😂

[coarse dagger]

I'm nearly positive the background of tfee_tion.jpg was made by repeatedly overlapping random (?) PETSCII characters. I don't think we're supposed to decode the PETSCII because it's so busy, but I think PETSCII is there as a clue.

In sherloq (https://github.com/GuidoBartoli/sherloq) using any signal separation algorithm w/ radius 10 and equalized levels gives a pretty good look at them overlapping:

tfee_tion.jpg is the eggshell question mark

Perhaps PETSCII is more important for egg than it is for gold

[fallen jasper]

Reminds me of the first gen Pokemon 'glitch world' accessible through arbitrary code execution

I know it's a stupid comment

I thought I'd just mention it. But Pokemon first gen uses hex not petscii

[coarse dagger]

No, I think comparrison to missingno is apt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MissingNo.

[alpine junco]

I just zoomed in

[scarlet mountain]

Bet Ty

[fallen jasper]

How so?

There's a missing number you mean?

[velvet narwhal]

Because it looks similar to the background

[vital oar]

Definitions. If f maps X to Y, then f −1 maps Y back to X. If f is invertible, then there is exactly one function g satisfying this property. The function g is called the inverse of f, and is usually denoted as f −1, a notation introduced by John Frederick William Herschel in 1813.

Why i looked this up:
Page names t3-f & t1-f-1 (t2abc)

[turbid tinsel]

idk im pretty confident there is stuff in the question mark as well as in the background

my opinion on the background is its supposed to be viewed from a distance/zoomed out rather than up close inspecting

[fresh quiver]

btw do we can do }{ as petscii?

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think so

[fresh quiver]

unlucky

[dull marsh]

This sounds significant, in Angstrom the K line has EGG (366) reversed at the end (.663)

[turbid tinsel]

like just a rough example, but you can almost see letter patterns in in the color breaks in the top left. i personally think its more that pareidolia just because id dont see rob skimping out on hiding clues.

also doesnt help my main monitors color profile is different and makes thing stand out more but who knows

[inner heart]

its interesting that they scotty says world's greatest game show like a "virtual earth", in a virtual space. kind of like meat space with a physical earth. who to said The Finals has its own virtual earth like people and society.

[jade citrus]

good morning hunters

[brisk hearth]

i havent gone to sleep yet 🥲

[vital oar]

We dont need sleep, we need golden eggs

[brisk hearth]

you needs sheep to count to sleep when you can count golden eggs... "zero, zero, zero, zero...."

[inner heart]

I think there is a bigger name for the "world" the finals in takes place in, a name that describes a place smaller the virtual space, bigger then The finals game show, like a planet or solar system. I just wanted to make sure that thought was out there

[shadow lantern]

Guys can someone make a summary of what has been discovered since the latest update?

[stiff comet]

Sadly not really :/

Read all the stuff, cover to cover.

And try not explode.

On that note, did we find out anything since I went to bed.

[hearty meteor]

i find it funny that you answered your own question two sentences ago.

[stiff comet]

Bollocks.

I was secretly hoping someone would blow a hole in all this.

[ancient otter]

I think we already have enough clues, but we just need to connect them

[stiff comet]

All keys, no locks?

[vital oar]

btw white in latin is album. Rob eyed some album covers. Gonna try to search for that

[runic furnace]

Good morning hunting people

[fallen summit]

good morning

[hallow saddle]

Robs helpful hint 5 states that EVERY password for EVERY level and teir can be found from the "First" image. I'm new to this, what is the first image ?

[vital oar]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

check both Tier 2

[gloomy anvil]

The 'first image' refers to the first image we receive for each tier.

If we don't solve it soon, we start receiving bonus images with more clues.

But everything is technically solvable with just that first one.

For this tier, we've received 5-6 images.

[vital oar]

• both '?'
• nama tama caesar
• football guy
• glitch soldier guy

am i missing one for T3?

[gloomy anvil]

the first version of glitch soldier guy that was cut into three pieces

[vital oar]

aaah yeah just saw it. cheers!

wait there's one more then: the violet lighting soldier

[hallow saddle]

Thank you very much!

[gloomy anvil]

oh yes I forgot about that one

[sharp flame]

sounds gory

😱

[alpine junco]

Heyooooo

[hard forge]

are you referring to the leak image by CNS?

[gloomy anvil]

yes

[vital oar]

currently trying to see if a spectral line of calcium is basically a mirrored value of a spectral line of gold. Or the other way arround

[gloomy anvil]

isn't the calcium spectrum from a previous tier? hence Rob's reaction: "I wasn't expecting anyone to get that now"

Your probably right
