easter-eggs

[austere palm]

Elaborate?

[bleak wharf]

i still think that's a watchers tribunes like on Seoul

[cunning peak]

Ah yes, the "bridge" lmao

You can actually see it in the other image as well

[austere palm]

Ya seoul

[cunning peak]

A joke for CNS who saw me lose my brain cells trying search for 2 hours trying to find which bridge this was in what city lol

[fathom bough]

the first image looks like it has a skybridge between two buildings right?

it looks all screwed up though

[coarse dagger]

I guess the only other think I can think of that could be useful for determining if something is a QR code is its size.
QR code dimensions are between 21 and 177 in increments of 4.

In python:

range(21, 178, 4)

[21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, 61, 65, 69, 73, 77, 81, 85, 89, 93, 97, 101, 105, 109, 113, 117, 121, 125, 129, 133, 137, 141, 145, 149, 153, 157, 161, 165, 169, 173, 177]

[cunning peak]

Yeah the dark bar above the screwed up bridge, I thought it was a suspension bridge but it's just the stadium seating

Can't wait to see this in game after looking at these glitched images for so long

[austere palm]

I don't doubt the rob would make us build a qr code, but I doubt we've had anything pointing towards it yet

[coarse dagger]

I mean we have in the past, but if you're specifically referring to the #1212747235578609795, then yes I agree.
See the top of #1198659083587297350 if you'd like to see a location where we needed to assemble a QR code (albeit from only 4 square "puzzle pieces")

[dull marsh]

@alpine junco seems to wonder if there might be secret cashout animations... 👀 (other than the 3-head monkey of course)

[earnest jewel]

L1 = Tier 1 or Level 1

L1 + L1 = L3 ?

[jade citrus]

The THM is a cashout animation ??

[dull marsh]

No we don't know, but from what we understand you can see it when stealing a cashout?

At least that's my understanding

[austere palm]

Can I get linked to context about the 3 headed monkey?

Padlet sucks on mobile

[coarse dagger]

Interpretation is based on what message you think Rob's responding to. Personally I think he was responding to the cashout message:

#easter-eggs message

Imagine spinning around while stealing a cashout and a three-headed monkey is staring at you...

#easter-eggs message

(you are not completely wrong, haha)

[snow walrus]

Discord search is there for you

[austere palm]

Also broke on mobile

[coarse dagger]

from: rob_embark three headed
#easter-eggs message

There is also a three-headed monkey hidden in Monaco....
(I will personally send a THE FINALS mouse pad to the first one who finds it...)

[jade citrus]

Thank you, W Lulz always there with the context

I think the main idea is that it's "behind" the player somehow

[coarse dagger]

I realized pretty quickly that chat would be a lot better if everyone linked and quoted what they were referencing, so I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world channel

[alpine junco]

the context is also from the game
"The Three-Headed Monkey was a mythical monkey that had three heads. It could be found on Monkey Island. One of Guybrush Threepwood's often repeated catchphrases is "Look behind you, a three headed monkey!" His usual reason for stating the line would be to momentarily distract someone in order to steal one of their possessions."

[jade citrus]

@coarse dagger I know you mentioned using the reflection in the Thermal Vision gadget, did you ever try that during that 132 minutes that Rob gave us?

[snow walrus]

Why it was 132 minutes

[jade citrus]

yep thanks, i've played the game myself !

[coarse dagger]

I'm so bad at fragging out when playing medium/light that I never got a good chance to steal a cashout during it. (I was trying with the zipline tablet instead of thermal vision)

[austere palm]

How do you steal and turn around

[alpine junco]

smokes + thermal

thats how i roll

[dull marsh]

That's the whole mystery, we don't know much about how to see it

[austere palm]

I can't think of any reflective surfaces

[sick osprey]

Can confirm, smoke grenades have helped me steal many cashouts. So funny how thick that cloud is! 🤣

[alpine junco]

also theyre the most dense at the start of a steal

and thin out when you need to escape

[vital oar]

Boy remember how Rob eyed some spectral lines of calcium. Someone uploaded the individual frames of the holtow website and check this out in the middle

God damn wrong picture one sec

[alpine junco]

I posted a larger one

[mystic storm]

Anyone notice the cowboy hats interact like the roses? Anyone know how many are on Monaco?

[vital oar]

Ah damn. Oversaw it then sorry

[alpine junco]

Nah all good

[earnest jewel]

sounds like using a sound emote to distract a player then steal?

[dusk veldt]

Has anybody been talking about the messages from CNS and their meaning when translated from Morse code?

[vital oar]

Went over youre messages but couldnt find it (probably phone issue which doesnt show text and image messages) did we confirm IF those are spectral lines and if so, from which element?

[alpine junco]

I thought it was a barcode of some kind

[alpine junco]

That has been discussed

[zealous cargo]

Saw this, I know there's at least 3

There's OSPUZE boots around too

[alpine junco]

Only found one pair

[alpine junco]

Interesting

[zealous cargo]

I don't know if it's unique to the boots but when they hit something (after thrown) they do a little twirl

[opaque thistle]

400? lightwork rob im on 998hrs rn

[zealous cargo]

Found another boot, with hat and horseshoes at fountain behind cathedral

Starting to think it's just decor

[fallen jasper]

Are you playing Smoking Guns

[zealous cargo]

Yea lmao

[cyan spruce]

thought i would share, my game was all glitched out today, could be a bug but there were weird things that almost seemed intentional as well

[fallen jasper]

It's just decor

[crisp glen]

that looks more like your gpu exploding

[cyan spruce]

it was only for one game then went back to normal lol

[zealous cargo]

makes sense lol

[crisp glen]

weird

[jade citrus]

did it kinda seem like fireworks? I saw something similar earlier

[fallen jasper]

Reminds me of when I was playing RDR2 and my GPU exploded

[solar pier]

Pretty colors and pc on fire

[lofty temple]

You can pick up the horseshoes when playing a match. They just rest on the haybales

[junior swallow]

Maybe no

[junior swallow]

Did that only happen in tournament or are there other times? Lore explained CNS only does stuff in big games

Which would explain why I’ve never seen it before. I don’t play a whole lot of tournament

[cyan spruce]

okay that is definitely the same thing @fallen jasper

weird

just for one game though then it was gone

[pure loom]

what mode was this in?

[austere palm]

Thought r2d2 for a sec and I was squinting

[junior swallow]

That was a different whole title though. His GPU just exploded though. Repeat occurrences across the finals is probably intentional though

[junior swallow]

That’s what he was saying

[crisp glen]

I still wouldn't ignore the signs of a failing gpu, if something happens later, you'll know what to troubleshoot first

[junior swallow]

Tournament

[snow walrus]

Green + at the center

[austere palm]

Not rdr2 but the star wars character

[junior swallow]

Some people use crosshair apps

[snow walrus]

But its not on completely center

[junior swallow]

Huh

Strange

[dusk veldt]

Some messages posted by CNS on Reddit can be translated(morse) into the following: “HELP” “5 2”
Any significance?

[bright ruin]

Is that 5, 2 or "52"

[dusk veldt]

5 dash 2

So 5 2

Also

If you scan the holtow qr code you get - -_(the name of the gif) and that makes 0 so idk?

[bright ruin]

I may be misunderstanding, but are you saying the 0 might fit in somewhere in that help call?

Something like Help 502 could imply an error code, which 502 is typically a Bad Gateway error, which would be fitting considering CNS and their hacking

Oh also, you say dash, you're meaning forward slash yeah?

[unborn pilot]

Translated how? Need to make sure it’s correct before digging in further.

[dusk veldt]

I'm not sure, but the Holtow glitch occurred simultaneously, right? Otherwise, the numbers might be part of a series

Give me a sec I'll double check my notes

[unborn pilot]

Ty. We did find some Morse that said SNC (CNS backwards). I haven’t seen more but could have missed it.

[dusk veldt]

On the Reddit page(r/4rcu5) with the “leaks” I thought the titles looked like morse so I translated them

The 5 and 2 is correct, since there is a hyphen there is a space between these two numbers

I'm not sure whether the Holtow gif is linked but the title of the gif is also morse

[pure loom]

you mean r/cns, right?

[dusk veldt]

Yeah, but the username can't be a coincidence either right?

[pure loom]

oh for sure

[bright ruin]

You say Hyphen, is the Morse code itself translating that hyphen? (..... -....- ..---)

Or is it for some odd reason ..... - ..---

[dusk veldt]

..— = 2 and ….. = 5 and then the hyphen is the -….- but it might not be intended as such

[bright ruin]

If the hyphen is typed out, then it is intended to be "Help 5-2" not "Help 5 2"

Spaces are denoted with forward slashes

5-2 could be a specific distress signal code

[dusk veldt]

Okay that makes alot more sense then, im a rookie at morse

Perhaps more numbers will come with new posts?

[bright ruin]

Potentially. I'm curious if it's not something we're supposed to know until next season, on the 5th map, and 2 being something, a quadrant maybe, on that map?

[unborn pilot]

hard to tell what you're referring to, but the titles came out to be CNS

`......_. (S N C / CNS mirrored)

[CNS]--::::-:-:-:----------------------------------------------------------->
::::-:-:-: (hidden between -, same as above SNC reversed)
`

[dusk veldt]

I'll double-check my methodology tomorrow. I'm going to go insane; I have been analyzing things for hours

[austere palm]

Rob ends his messeges wit ._.

[dull marsh]

Means R in morse

[earnest jewel]

most translators have the line as a hyphen instead of an underscore. Maybe it's misleading us on purpose? or has it been confirmed that those are equivalent?

or does it mean it's also upside down

[bright ruin]

hyphen and underscores are the same I believe because in actual morse code signal transmission, you don't use either to differentiate. It's just a dot or dash, making underscore/hyphen not particularly relevant

[austere palm]

Ah a signature

[earnest jewel]

makes sense!

[unborn pilot]

It’s just one extra step to hide the real code. Yeah there’s been lots of Morse using ! - _ & and some other symbols.

[bright ruin]

The thing I'm intrigued by, is why does the & symbol always have a white background highlight to it in the images? Has anyone discussed that?

Another question, is THE FINALS (in game lore) built on the Comodore64 or Amiga as a backbone?
The credits utilizing MuCoDOS, which I can't tell which of the two it's inspired by / taking reference from.

I ask because the two systems used different sound chips, and I'm starting to think while analyzing the audio that they not only purposefully asked for it be made to sound like Keygen music, but also to have it utilizing sounds of one of those two systems

[dusk veldt]

Another sound chip reference

[jade citrus]

that's possible, the soundtrack definitely has a unique sound to it

[bright ruin]

Not sure what this means

[bright ruin]

As someone who enjoys the classic hardware for game audio, being a game audio person myself, It's instantly recognizable as at least wanting to emulate those systems. A lot of the distortion I hear feels more like Duty Cycles than actual distortion, and majority of the instruments chosen for each layer of the track sound like they'd come right out of the hardware itself, as in what the hardware was capable of producing (whether the compose emulated it or a music tracker like Furnace is unknown, but Furnace has both Amiga and Comodore64 sound chip modules that I'm experimenting with)

The issue comes after that, what is the importance of that, and how can I pursue it further knowing the info? It's not as clear cut as finding an image embeded in the spectrogram (which I have yet to find, and I've searched extensively since last night)

[versed ginkgo]

hey guys i dont know anything about the lore or easter eggs but you've found the glitched glowing pixels on the monaco map right?

[fallen summit]

yes

[fallen jasper]

cashouts also are easter eggs

[pure loom]

The credits soundtrack was created on an Amiga

[bright ruin]

Where's the source for this if you don't mind me asking? Trying to gather resources to reference in my audio dissection

[pure loom]

Rob told me in a DM just after the pre-launch press event concluded, while I was still in the game and could watch the credits

[bright ruin]

Nice! Did he happen to mention if it's the same composer as the rest of the OST?

[pure loom]

he didn't say, but I'm guessing it's likely, or made by their own audio team

[bright ruin]

Yeah that'd be my hunch too, I appreciate the confirmation

[gaunt palm]

I've been loosely following this channel for a while now and I want to help, I'm just not sure how I could help

[quaint wing]

Type passwords, get logged in, end our suffering ❤️ In all honesty though, if there's a lead you've seen that you think you can expand on, full send it and see what you come up with! 🙂

[gaunt palm]

Surely mirror is one of the truths right? I mean it's shown up way too much to be a coincidence

[pure loom]

yes

[jade citrus]

Yes! We think so

[gaunt palm]

When was the last time you guys touched the padlet?

[pure loom]

I think everyone felt like this when they first started exploring the EEs, but that feeling fades, and eventually you realise we all feel like that haha

[pure loom]

It's been a while because we had so few firm leads to follow

maybe a couple of months since it was properly being added to, at least

[gaunt palm]

but could we link the reddit morse code to mirror?

I feel like there is many connections that could be added

even if nothing is super significant

[quaint wing]

Rob also sent us a mirrored messaged with an extra i in it. Lots of good mirror comments, still trying to figure out how to put a password together.

[gaunt palm]

yeah

I feel like "space" is kind of vague too. I feel like we should try and narrow that one down

[jade citrus]

I agree

I think we were pretty close back during the Nobel Prize discovery

[gaunt palm]

how much do I need to talk before I can talk in threads?

[bright ruin]

You just have to rank up once. Not sure how much that is, but it took me less than 24 hours, and like idk, less than 20-30 messages? (I didn't count)

Not spammed obviously, just normal discussion

[gaunt palm]

Yeah the problem is that I usually avoid sending messages unless I have something important to say. I'm very reserved in sending messages

[jade citrus]

same, I've been here for nearly a year now and I still don't have a green name (max level)

[gaunt palm]

I'm just going to mess around with the MultiCo image in gimp to see if I can reveal anything

[jade citrus]

Good luck!

[gaunt palm]

wait I don't think I can send images until I level up

so if I found anything I couldn't share it

[jade citrus]

You can DM to someone here and they will post it

like me

[gaunt palm]

ok I'll just dm you

[jade citrus]

via @gaunt palm

[gaunt palm]

Thanks

[jade citrus]

It definitely looks like there's text there, just can't make it out

[gaunt palm]

same

I removed the white background to see if that would help the filters reveal things

imma try decomposing the RBG values of the original image

yeah that didn't help at all lol

[jade citrus]

[inner sand]

I tried the date (I don’t know if that looks like a 5 and a 3)

The 3 looks like it fits perfectly there

[gaunt palm]

What are some relevant names we know of?

as in characters we already know?

[gaunt palm]

yeah

[pure loom]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Characters

[gaunt palm]

what font do we think the document is in again?

[gaunt palm]

in the document, what if the whole "Sophia" thing is hinting towards ph=f or something?

[inner sand]

“Sofia Petronelle is the CEO of OSPUZE” could be talking about her

But it’s spelled differently

[quaint wing]

#1213500600117891122 message - We had https://indianajones.fandom.com/wiki/Sophia_Hapgood

That was R.Cades comment that got an X marks the spot.

[gaunt palm]

That’s what I meant. What if it is hinting that f could be replaced with ph or vice versa for the password?

[inner sand]

Good idea

[wooden galleon]

Unable to share image due to rank, but messing with the censored document exposure and brightness settings on my screenshot there seems to be some characters in a darker spot to the right of the text ‘one night,’

Might just be artifacting from changing too many settings, almost looks like a 3 or 8 above an x when zoomed in

[bright ruin]

Feel free to cross reference with what is being tested in #1213500600117891122

[wooden galleon]

Was unaware, thanks for linking I’ll glance through those posts as I also can’t post there

[bright ruin]

No worries, as soon as you rank up you can. If you have anything you want to share there, I'm happy to post it for you

[coarse dagger]

Don't know where to post this, so it'll go here:

The 52 pickup skin for the throwing knives only ever has Jokers, Aces, Queens, and fives in hand.
The thrown cards all appear to be Queens in the environment (on ground, stuck in surface/enemy).

[quaint stream]

I have screenshots of those mid inspect animation I think to look them over. Not at my computer though. Definitely didn't know they struck as Queens though. That's funny

[eternal violet]

is civic crown another clue for a palindrome?

[alpine junco]

Becuz theyre good hands in poker

[velvet narwhal]

there are jokers in poker?

[alpine junco]

Poker: A Joker can be wild, or can be a "bug", a limited form of wild card which can be used only to complete straights and flushes.

[coarse dagger]

Fives?

And I think "Joker/Queen" may be referring to Odilia herself. "The Trickster Queen".
She's referred to "The Trickerster", the Queen part is just inference on my part, but this is all #📕┇lore territory really.

[alpine junco]

Ace 5 is a good hand

Queen and king 5 also

Is this one real?

if so, I'm gonna throw in my suggestion that each term, civil, nautical and astronomical each have something to do with these phrases

[velvet narwhal]

yep, posted by cns on the reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/comments/1b68g21/3l1l1l/

[fathom bough]

astronomical would probably be referring to the flashing light on the moon (which is probably morse code)

the other two, I'm not sure

one night, related to civil, three dawns related to nautical... things

one night meaning? we don't really know?

@coarse dagger posting that here to answer your offtopic chat.

what already sometimes about CMYK & RGB.
Most pictures were more blue red & yellow. most pictures never were green. so i thought mostly about cmyk. but now we would may have green too

ONE NIGHT. THREE DAWNS. SEE THE SIGNS

[turbid tinsel]

going back to the nobel stuff, is it possible all the nobel gases are related?

helium for example, In 1881, Italian physicist Luigi Palmieri detected helium on Earth for the first time through its D3 spectral line, when he analyzed a material that had been sublimated during a recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius.[33]

vesuvius was used back in first set of clues on previous teirs

"neon", the Greek analogue of the Latin novum ('new')

contains ovum

xenon is directly related to golds electron config

large amouns of new helium are created by nuclear fusion of hydrogen in stars.

Czny is Polish for 'active' but it does look like there's more letters before it so I'm at a loss. Also don't see how that would tie into anything else 🫤

Maybe "geograficzny" - Geographical

it could be an I before the CZNY, but i think it might be an N

Hey sorry for the long message but I believe I found something interesting that relates to the "mirrors" in game. Random windows on some buildings (In Skyway Stadium and Seoul from what I've found so far) have a very noticeable reflective surface that shows a skybox of a different area in the map. Meanwhile other nearby windows didn't show the same properties. At first when seeing this in skyway stadium I didn't think to much of it until I went back to investigate further and noticed the reflection had changed. So I kept going back every time I loaded into skyway and found 4 different reflections that seem to randomly show up(at first I thought that it changed depending on what class you play as but it doesn't seem to matter). I have also messed with my graphics settings to see if that had anything to do with it (of which I have a vid of) but nothing changed. I have taken clips of these windows and have made a playlist linked here - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL1HXbSAhh68WkLGhWMtfZfCqPbQlHCx8

[cunning peak]

Do you guys think that the random numbers on the second page could be related to a certain place in the music?

[bright ruin]

It's hard to say without knowing what they're using in UE5 for reflections/refractions. It's possible this is just a rendering bug and nothing more

[clear panther]

Some of the textures look like places from the existing map

[bright ruin]

They use raytracing for most lighting but if the actual reflective surface of the glass is based on say the refraction, I've seen people complain about how UE handles those and it being garbage

[bright ruin]

They're definitely spots on the existing maps

[bright ruin]

Explain more?

[pure loom]

This has been noted previously. It’s the Seoul skyline

Very obvious on the Las Vegas map in the reflection off the vendor windows in the mall area

[civic hornet]

is there a thread on this?

[stiff juniper]

Are the titles of the reddit posts telling us to mirror the pages somehow? The text in the title is the same but backwards

Just woke up, what's with the speculation the new map is in Japan

[solar glade]

idk

[stiff juniper]

has anyone looked into hidden information in the "leaked" .wav from the torrent? The "seek the truth" text from the .diz on top of the waveform-looking ascii art makes me think there might be something there?

[jaunty mirage]

it is

[jaunty mirage]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1213954562856194048
btw

[fallen jasper]

The speculation that it's in japan is a image with in game Seoul images and reference images of Seoul?

[clear panther]

I mentioned the same before - one of the previous images was with numbers 70.68.71.67.72.png

Now the peaks of the wave on lines 70+

78 76 79 72 82 74 78 76 78

[jaunty mirage]

So its not? 👀

[sand swan]

That’s what I thought as well. Just thought it was weird, especially when one of the reflections was an area under the map.

[fallen jasper]

No clue what the new map is, but I wouldn't take a image from... 8? Months ago as a hint to what the next map is. They've teased the maps in the hunt before but it wouldn't be that blatantly obvious.

Vegas was hidden in the Open Beta trailer as a series of frames showing the little lobby area in the western casino.

[jaunty mirage]

I knew sth was off when they sent the image from the betas like why would they make a map from so long ago couldn't they focus on other new maps like vegas

[marsh marsh]

I mean clearly it’s gotta be somewhere in Japan. The screenshots show samurai armor, our little death dummy is wearing samurai armor, and that map in the destruction test had signs with Japanese

[opal kernel]

i dont know if anyone has mentioned, but the samurai outfit was actually in the closed alpha

[small ice]

Are some of the parts of the map glitching for y'all?

Please keep map related discussions here ^ fellas.

[plucky kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795 tldr: yes but we dont know what they mean

[marsh marsh]

I think it would solve a lot of issues to make a “big ee” thread. This being called “Easter eggs” implies that it pertains to everything Easter egg related, which seems to be a broad spectrum since even Season 2 is being revealed in an “EE” sort of way. Makes more sense than constantly trying to gatekeep this specific chat imo

[plucky kettle]

kinda agree

[dull marsh]

Wouldn't be surprised if we have some Italian/roman stuff, seeing how many such visuals we've had in the EE hunt

[devout lance]

yo

[hard forge]

I disagree, and here is why:

• This channel was there even before the game went live. A lot of stuff were discussed here. Things discussed here a year ago are still relevant.
• Making threads for other things make sense because it is easier to keep track of them(or ignore them if you are not working on those subjects).
• Also, threads don't have search button atleast in discord mobile, which is very important when it comes to TFEE.

And about season 2 being an EE, Rob said he has added clues in season to help us solve Tier 3 of Lvl 2, on which we are stuck since more than 100 days.

Also, I agree that some changes should be made before LEVEL 3.

[velvet narwhal]

@fallen jasper this dudes spamming in multiple channels

[spice reef]

I found another glitch cluster thingy, how do I send it

[plucky venture]

sadly youre not high enough level to send photos but if you can say what map/ approx location we can try to look into it

[spice reef]

I can send u it in dm, I found it in the new event

It's near the edge of the map that a washout spawns at, where like 3 cannons are

[plucky venture]

i was actually really exited tbh 😭

sadge

[pallid rock]

have we tried blowing up all the glitches yet

[glass sundial]

Some cannot be destroyed from what I recall

[pallid rock]

also do you guys think theres any reason this particular "The Finals" text on vegas is so puffy?

[pallid rock]

gotcha

[bleak wharf]

it's made for optimisation if you playing on medium or lower settings

[pallid rock]

im playing on all high

its always this wall in particular

[bleak wharf]

probably a visual bug
EE always shows something differently

[alpine junco]

i play on epic

and still get it

with rtx on

[void sonnet]

It's a LOD bug. I've been getting it frequently since I started playing.

The text is generated as a vector image and then projected. Sometimes the vector doesn't load to full quality before it's projected

[pallid rock]

gotcha

[bleak wharf]

same with stickers and text on guns

[pallid rock]

are we allowed to talk about the CNS leaks here

[bleak wharf]

CNS is part of EE Hunt so why not?
But pls no stuff ripped from game files obv

[fresh quiver]

which leaks? from reddit? yeah.
its lore/ee related as we know.

also we have a extra thread for that. feel free to look around what was already found there. #1213500600117891122

[pallid rock]

okay okay so the leaks were intentional by embark but not intentional in the world of the finals

[fresh quiver]

we think it is something lore related at its also occuring ingame

[bleak wharf]

Do we know anything new past Page 2 and upside down numbers in the document?

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message
that is one of the messages confirming it is intentional

[pallid rock]

sweet

[alpine junco]

arent leaks basically data mined?

[pallid rock]

not from CNS

[bleak wharf]

i'd say CNS is pretty good at it so far 😉

[velvet narwhal]

stuff from cns are "leaks"
datamining is a leak

[solar glade]

having content in their files isn't leaks by Embark. datamining it and then posting about it is leaking

[pallid rock]

oh hi spear i was just watching ur vid lol

[solar glade]

CNS subreddit isn't leaks - just a narrative vehicle atm

[alpine junco]

thought they meant the leaks for s2

[pallid rock]

yeah wait what exactly did CNS leak

bc my friend sent me some stuff and idk if its datamined or by CNS

[bleak wharf]

documents and teasers of "new map"

also a file with a soundtrack

#1213500600117891122

[dull marsh]

We don't promote datamining in here

To be fair, it's simply against the rules of the Discord

Rule 9: No talks on piracy, leaked content, cheats, or exploits.
This also includes but is not limited to mentioning the use of any of the above or sharing links to access this type of content.

[bronze wolf]

oh my gosh, looks like ive missed all sorts of stuff the past couple days

[plucky kettle]

not much, just all the leaks for season 2

I was searching to see what recent things Rob sent but I don't see the account on here

Maybe the image you have is lower resolution. Try these #1213500600117891122 message

[fallen jasper]

OHNO Robbo is gonna come and throw you in the embark studio holding cell...

[gaunt palm]

it looks like a bigger image but less detail

[gloomy anvil]

it could be a screenshot, then size would not correlate to the original image

either way, the best quality versions we have are on the Google Drive

[gaunt palm]

im talking about the files you linked

but I guess more pixels is better than less noise

[quasi spire]

Gotcha my bad

[quasi spire]

No they didn’t I check every once in a while

[void sonnet]

ah yeah I browsed around and found it's specific to Zaraby. Still a very weird name for slot machine

[gaunt palm]

I think I just need to send a few more messages and I'll be able to talk on threads

which will be nice

[void sonnet]

Between that and "Daydream", with CNS being "Central Nervous System" it seems like a strong argument that the contestants, and perhaps the computer that runs THE FINALS itself are made of human brains

It's like having "WAKE UP" branded merchandise in your psychic prison

[glass sundial]

So a hive mind?

So we're in a prison or we're just part of the system

[haughty hemlock]

Maybe this is like hunger game?

[unique spruce]

has anyone tried different mathematical sums like atomic weight of gold + average weight of an egg?

[haughty hemlock]

I know the formula can you input the values?

[void sonnet]

I think the contestants are brains in jars, possibly taken against their will

I think the simulation is run on a bunch of stolen brains, whose real identity is leaking out as "CNS"

They're just barely pushing through the safety walls that divide the engineered simulation from their unfiltered subconscious

I feel like there really needs to be a separate channel for general easter eggs that are not a major part of the egg hunt

[runic furnace]

Oh you just checked mb

[unique spruce]

thinking out loud here... how about instead of actually combining gold + egg, thinking of what that actual process is? for example, amalgamation

[quaint wing]

Essentially what the threads are. Once we find something out, we typically make a thread on it and work through the whole process

[unique spruce]

gold + silver melted together make electrum

[haughty hemlock]

There is way to much we need to do for me to be bothered

[gaunt palm]

its also kinda crazy how many people sort of ignore #egg-hunt-onboarding

[quaint wing]

It happens, but that's why we have the egghunt command. Throw it out, and it typically helps people start somewhere. The pins for this channel work well too!

[haughty hemlock]

Are there any actual in game rewards for this/ im struggling to understand and reason or purpose of this?

[quaint wing]

We like puzzles and finding cool stuff 🙂

[unique spruce]

Tempera (Italian: [ˈtɛmpera]), also known as egg tempera, is a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder medium, usually glutinous material such as egg yolk

with all the focus surrounding graffitti, might this be a link? sgraffito https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgraffito

I'm not sure if this has been said or done regarding the glitch clusters. I can't chat in the "glitch location" thread. Has anyone try to get bunch of lights together and glitch nades the "glitches" all at the same time? It might trigger something in game. I'm sure everyone tried to nade them individually, but maybe not all at the same time?

hehe check my message above!

[fallen jasper]

Removed his timeout

[hard current]

cade found something

[mental shadow]

Oh

Sorry devx

[unborn pilot]

😂 Ty justice.

[rain comet]

The sponsors are onto him

[unborn pilot]

It was CNS

[mental shadow]

Could astronomical point to astronomical unit? It has the symbol Au, same as gold

[wooden galleon]

This looks like the default squarespace search, there’s another default url /cart as well. Dont think they are particularly useful though

#1201288968562552863 message
I randomly shared this fact in off topic a while ago, without the gps part 😦

[hard current]

maybe rob drew inspo from you

[hasty anvil]

He’s months ahead of me..

[hard current]

scratch that... years... ._.

[neon stream]

Oh... the kilometers per second again 😂

It's not the first time it has happened 😂

[jagged ore]

Okay so I also just thought about the fact that there are 3 maps based on physical locations. So 3 dawns one night could also link to that since skyway stadium doesn't really have actual twilight I guess. It's a stretch though

[clear steeple]

Does anyone remember the old Urban Samurai Bundle glitch? Could lead to some cosmetic/ theme Ideas for the new season?

[unkempt dune]

That's just placeholder text for testing the length of the description

[clear panther]

I feel like a silly man when (still ) I check all the findings. My escape room experience is a child play when compared to this. You are the Kings cracking this thing! (Sorry, Can't say gods, as we have Saint Rob))

[compact girder]

i think the next season is gonna be japanese themed

[keen egret]

I hope so

I hope egyptian too

[mild wyvern]

I hope the game actually works for me next season lol

[proven gazelle]

Reminds me of Gustav Klimt

Anyone got a link to the redacted page i heard about today?

anyone want to get a squad going to do some EE hunting?

[pure loom]

next thing you know, you'll be waking up with a horse's head in your bed

[fallen summit]

(can anyone give me a link to the full new song, i want to put in one of those sound to image sites and see what comes up.)

its the song from the leaks

[bright ruin]

You mean a spectrogram? I've already done extensive dissecting. I have found next to nothing

[fallen summit]

ya forgot the name, thanks for checking it.

[hard forge]

the buzzwords worked for me..

[bright ruin]

At this point I'm pretty confident the song doesn't contain anything in it
Things I've tried:

• Inspecting it for encrypted files embeded in the audio file itself (not an image in a spectrogram)
• Searching audio in a spectrogram for images
• Checking the metadata of the song itself
• Inspecting the release tail of the song via gain boost, pitch shift, time stretch, etc
• Phase cancellation in both stereo and mono in an attempt to listen for any hidden audio
• Reversed the song, did all of the above reversed

None of that turned up anything

[clear panther]

Funny that both Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Ligo 17 (findings from the xwiki ee hunt page) had something related to gravitational Waves and wave was also mentioned in the CNS post and the id file there was a picture of wave

[bright ruin]

I'm checking the chat history... 1995 seems to be a significant year for this hunt... why is that?

[hard forge]

so is 1965

idk why

[bright ruin]

Where is a good place to get a list of the devs at embark?

can somone post the link to the full new "leaked" song, its a bop and i need it.

Should be in the discord somewhere if you search, I'll check too

#easter-eggs message

[fallen summit]

kk

thx

[stiff comet]

[keen egret]

You guys found the polish word already?

[bright ruin]

Yeah, for Photographic

There's seemingly an address as well, also in Polish

[keen egret]

You’re referring to the one at the bottom of the page?

[bright ruin]

Yeah, the faded one that's upside down

[keen egret]

Yea

Doesnt that mean false or untruthful

[bright ruin]

I believe the word is FOTOGRAFICZNY, which translates to Photographic

it checks out due to the document being redacted, or classified. It's possible there was a 3rd document or folder that potentially ink transferred onto the page

Think "Photographic Evidence" like what might be submitted for a court case (not to say these documents are for a court case in lore)

[hard forge]

@bright ruin good to have you here. you do your due diligence.

[warm lantern]

I'm eating an egg right now

that should make up for my lack of contributions for the past 3 months

[unborn pilot]

but it was wearing a cool Finals t-shirt and it's mine now!

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/horse-horse-shock-gif-23419738

[unborn pilot]

if you look up real locations that use that they're more or less "photographic labs" or "studios", so definitely suggesting doing some "work" around evidence or photographs

[proper kindle]

From what I seen boys most Easter eggs leading to a Japanese map?

[unborn pilot]

@pure loom this stood out https://eeggs.com/items/5000.html

• After killing Maduk the first time (with the mirror)
• where Sophia is flying in the air (Sophia)
• Walk through the hole (burrow)
• until you reach the point where you´ve started (ab ovo?)
• red colored tunnel (red)
• Now you become Guybrush Threepwood and the Monkey Island melody appears... (it's Indiana Jones X Monkey Island - two games given by Rob)

[hard current]

been thinkin, dawn is also a beginning is it not

[bright ruin]

What's the likelihood of Magnus Nordin being involved with EE stuff?

[hard current]

a lot more here than we thought...

[pure loom]

and an end

[hard current]

as in, the end of night right

[bright ruin]

yes, that's how I'd see it

one night, 3 dawns. 3 dawns being the 3 intervals we've discussed before sunrise

one night being the entirety of night before the dawns occur

That's what I've come to interpret at least

[pure loom]

yeah

If these are mentioned in the MultiCo document, I wonder why @proud minnow never confirmed this when you posted it back in September?

[unborn pilot]

wild right? maybe he missed it, but it was also during the time where he said he wasnt gonna "help us" more

you mentioned it in your video too

[pure loom]

I should watch those more often 😂

Yeah, true, maybe we were out in the cold then

[unborn pilot]

my brother found that and he even mentioned how it's 6+6+6 while that felt like our main lead

so maybe that is all that, and could be why there were 6 6 6 crosses of different types too

each one moving it's center view maybe

never counted the pixels, but wouldn't surprise me if they're at 6, 12, 18 considering how small they are.

[solid jay]

Have you tried mirroring the song and then overlaying the samples? Maybe something in the jumbled mess that might create lol

Also sweet jesus that was a lot to catch up on

[pure loom]

Interesting: In most manuscripts of the New Testament and in English translations of the Bible, the number of the beast is six hundred sixty-six or χξϛ (in Greek numerals, χ represents 600, ξ represents 60 and ϛ represents 6). χξϛ - could sound a bit like "eggs" maybe

[bright ruin]

Oh I thought that was relatively common knowledge since it's mentioned just about everywhere by those of Christian faith, hadn't considered actually mentioning that, whoops

(Mentioned as in even if you aren't of that faith, you've probably heard someone who is mention it)

[pure loom]

yeah, I assume it is too, I've just never looked into it much here because there's been such a science focus

[bright ruin]

Valid, I had kept it in the back of my mind myself as I wasn't sure if religion would get pulled into the equation when most of the evidence is based on historical facts

[crimson cedar]

It might leak in occasionally because religion is historical

if looking at the glitches at a certain angel you see a bunch of horizontal lines …

[solid jay]

you mean in the glitch or on the wall they are attached to?

I was looking at the one in Monaco

How can I send pic?

[solid jay]

DM it to me

[proud minnow]

You know what will be truly amazing? When we solve this puzzle!

[runic furnace]

Yes please

I just got here last week but its felt we've been working on it forever

[jade cradle]

Before season 2?

well over a hundred days now, I think

a record, of sorts...

May everyone have wonderful dreams about the 5 truths

[bright ruin]

Curious, was the blinking red dot on the hotlow website solved or did it change due to no one figuring it out, to what we have on the site now?

[pure loom]

It was probably in standby mode until what we have now was turned on

[bright ruin]

is there a gif of it still somewhere?

[iron maple]

i’m not gonna be able to sleep knowing CNS is most likely posting tomorrow🥲🫡

[quiet ice]

Any clue to anything else related to CNS on the Billboard glitch?

This kinda looks like the glitch someone saw while on freecam

[turbid tinsel]

i wouldnt recommend digging in game files, as we dont use them in here.

[quiet ice]

Got it 👍

[turbid tinsel]

we got read and blue a while back and that makes purple, which would be the opposite of yellow on the ryb color wheel

depending on what pallet sometimes its blue also

The opposite of any color on the color wheel can be found by subtracting the RGB value of the starting color from white in RGB. In CMYK, cyan, magenta, and yellow are the primary colors.0 However, the exact opposite of yellow is a slightly different hue of blue and more close to violet.

[dull marsh]

More like, of long 💀

[keen egret]

Is it supposed to be unsolvable💔

[twilit sail]

Revealed it a bit more will try to get it right tho

Idk if someone already done this

Definitely says cns in the middle there

For print name

I wanna get the signature tho

[bright ruin]

I'm not seeing cns there

[twilit sail]

I might be tripping

[void sonnet]

The background noise here looks a lot like wavelet compression, just standard image artifacting with the contrast enhanced. It's reminiscent of PETSCII because they both use "tiles" that are not standard characters, but the wavelet tiles are generated unique to the image being compressed, where PETSCII is a fixed set

[tardy hound]

???????SESS

[twilit sail]

Ight might be sks in the middle of print make

Name

I’m taking a 💩 rn so I’ll be able to get it clearer once I’m done

[unborn pilot]

was randomly looking at this and saw your mention of 46204. is this Stargate the connection or the possibly the oval park near it? 46204 is less than 1 mile radius, so it's quite narrowed down. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Indy+Stargate/@39.7682618,-86.1634523,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x886b51cd102d48ed:0xae8f940efe3ec60!8m2!3d39.7682618!4d-86.1634523!16s%2Fg%2F11rq5lv2jh?entry=ttu

[solar pagoda]

It looks like a new map maybe

[zenith jacinth]

🤨

[dull gorge]

i used to live in indy i dont think this place is related

[dark dove]

something new here?

[cyan spruce]

Does anyone know all the different time variants of each of the maps?

[ancient mist]

are the ready/loading gifs connected to Tier3 ? the only connection i see there is renovo

[mental shadow]

Charles K. Kao did win a Nobel prize in physics 2009 so it kinda fits multiple leads

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible rainbows maybe related in somehow some way

they form in arcs

idk if the colors rob gave us were supposed to be related here in some way but there area ton of different kinds of rainbows but might just be a bad hole

im out of ideas

[sharp flame]

Notice Rob's never confirmed any lore

I think that's the point

He is only here for the EE hunt

not to confirm upcoming maps or content, or to set us on the right track for lore

[eternal violet]

The line between lore and EE do be kinda blurry tho

[dark dove]

morning, midnight, noon, sand-shit

[pure loom]

Very good point

[sharp flame]

I don't think he'll be going around giving eyes to any CNS or MultiCo stuff anytime soon

[unkempt dune]

you have no idea how long it took me to realized that S LIES is still at construction

for some reason I thought it was no longer in the game

[sharp flame]

I go and check every so often

The only thing that's ever been seen removed is Trismegistus

[unkempt dune]

don't think I've ever heard of it

[mental shadow]

The binary numbers in hospital on Seoul that translates to Trismegistus is still in the game if that’s what u mean? Or were there another lead?

[sharp flame]

They are still in the game??

[mental shadow]

Are they not? I could swear i saw them just yesterday! I could definitely be wrong tho

[sharp flame]

The screens definitely have codes on them, but not the 3x4 binary ones surely

[neon parcel]

New post on r/cns

[mental shadow]

Oh my bad! Sry man this whole EE got my head melting! I’m so busy trying to catch up what’s already been found that I don’t realize some of it has been removed already

[velvet narwhal]

uhhh a new gun?

[quaint wing]

Nevermind, was just posted 🙂

[velvet narwhal]

Now that you mention it. Do you think the other screens should be in the wiki?

[neon parcel]

It does look a new gun but my tinfoil hat says its looks like a contraption over someones head just a random thought.

[sharp flame]

Not if we don't know what they mean or which ones are relevant

[sharp flame]

Use this Discord search:

My guess is that the title is binary for "ϕ"/"φ" or Phi

[normal iron]

if we apply your logic, supposing that . = 1 et _ = 0, it gives õ

[granite bough]

FAMAS?

[hard moss]

For ASCII yes, but Unicode would be Phi

Reminds me of the LA85 but mag has an AUG pattern

arc raiders mentioned 😯

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[coarse dagger]

Rob has confirmed there is a clue there:
#easter-eggs message

took me some time Fish, but yes there in one obscure clue in that area…. ._. (tertiary)

[keen cargo]

is there some sort of established theory for what CNS is

[gloomy anvil]

A hacker group. Beyond that, we've had eyes on "central nervous system".

[native willow]

i cant post images but the part in the middle of the new CNS image looks like a cctv camera, no?

[keen cargo]

i think its firmly obvious that it means C and S now (C&S) with the latest r/cns image

[coarse dagger]

#📕┇lore

[keen cargo]

theres a lot of & symbols across the place

and one of the maps has "S Lies"

so

C and S, and S lies

[native willow]

C AND S

thats why theres & symbols

i dont think that part is too deep

@shut swan nah nah u got me excited i thought it was rob 😭

apparently im wrong nvm then 💀

[rain comet]

Caesar and Substitution?

maybe

[shut swan]

I'm so sorry. My bad. I pick wrong Emoji. I was going to choose / not 👀

[keen cargo]

||contestants & sponsors, lol||

[rain comet]

Jokes aside, It likely stands for Central Neural System

as rob eyed someone's message

[keen cargo]

what message

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

and it's more the central nervous system of the internet/servers or something metaphorical like that

When it comes to Rob clues are often multifaceted. Central nervous system is one correct interpretation of it, but there certainly could be more.

[urban pond]

looks like the ffar from cod cold war

[rapid aspen]

THATS FUCKING FFAR IM OFFICIALLY SCARED

[junior swan]

Sorry if this have already been brought up, I used the search function and couldn't find anything about it. Since you guys are talking about guns, there is an image of a guy holding a weapon when the respawn glitches. Is this something you already know?

[rain comet]

what

hmm

maybe it's a new role for EE hunt role

now i want that

how i get egg

i must have role

[rain comet]

most likely eyed people

[warm lantern]

oh true

[junior swan]

It's after that. At 8 seconds in the video

[warm lantern]

rob eye me pls i want egg

[civic hornet]

Screenshot?

[velvet narwhal]

nope, many that got eyes don't have that role

and povich never got eyed

I WANT THE EGG

I mean it surely has to have some form of relevance

1213099416810946560 gorgeous role

did anyone catch that invite?

?

[rain comet]

someone sent an invite and quickly deleted it

It showed up for a split second

[hidden nacelle]

bot probably

[warm lantern]

yeah been a lot of cheat promoters

[fresh quiver]

maybe @proud minnow can tell us later what these role is?

[turbid tinsel]

probably better off asking a cm

since they can see and assign roles, unless they dont have those perms

[warm lantern]

<@&1012034066876473384>

walker explain yourself

[fresh quiver]

did he just tagged every CM at once?

[warm lantern]

yeah thats what ur supposed to do?

[alpine junco]

No

Lmao

[warm lantern]

I swear it said to tag the cm role for a cm???????

[fresh quiver]

just tag one specific CM and not all at once.

I think that what was told us once, that we should not tag the role but instead a semi CM

[alpine junco]

That pings them all

[warm lantern]

I know how a role ping works

[fresh quiver]

and its enough to ping 1 CM and not all

[warm lantern]

and yeah mb. I could've sworn the rule was to roletag not individual, but i might have misread it lol

sorry CM fellas heart eyes

[fresh quiver]

dont worry. now it happened.
We will see who will answer

[warm lantern]

maybe if you do or say a specific thing in the server you get that role

[junior swan]

My imgur just doesn't want to work, I'll send it to your dm. Idk it does look like a gun to me at least

[warm lantern]

meaning luke and povich have done said thing

meaning we need to wear their skin and pretend to be them, then dm rob

ggez

this whole conversation isn't really on topic

ayo

i made that thread and oak joined

wait

WAIT

they all have something in common too

every other one of their roles are identical

every single other role is the same

it’s pretty much exclusive to #official-art - in-game and reddit cns posts

no one is putting easter eggs in roles 💀
