easter-eggs

[warm lantern]

No stress, just may as well put it out there

[sharp flame]

About EE, lore?

[warm lantern]

A section of it, yeah

like a ssethtzeentach/IH style thing

[fallen summit]

i hope they add like a healing nade like destiny 2 or halo that gives a area of healing.

[warm lantern]

i mean cool idea, that creates helllaaaa loopholes for the devs to work around tho

[fallen summit]

oof ya.

it would be nice for light to get an upwards dash. i always get stuck in boxes on light lol.

[warm lantern]

lmao they have one

just look up and dash

[snow walrus]

walk in the park 🤔
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Warren+Park,+IN+46219,+USA

[sharp flame]

It says "ARE YOU READY"

[snow walrus]

uhhhhhh

[limpid crypt]

I could also read that in the top left corner, but is that all?

[fresh quiver]

OYE!

[snow walrus]

i don't think its related with the hunt but a great coincidence haha

[balmy shuttle]

Has anyone noticed a bullet hole in the helmet on the football players picture posted by rob in the art channel? Also new here so sorry if it was already found. Cheers!

[rain robin]

Is that an old run way?

Old military installation?

[snow walrus]

Indianapolis map

[hard moss]

Wish this would fit somewhere lol

[warm lantern]

I mean at least we got somewhere with the ?

what about LV

[snow walrus]

tertiary clue in the area

[warm lantern]

I wonder if GP fits in anywhere.

F1 has a deal with LV that ends in 2032

[snow walrus]

#1213500600117891122

[signal grotto]

gotcha thanks

[hard moss]

CNS document hinted towards pyramids
tertiary meaning "third in order or level"
There's three pyramids in College Park, Indianapolis
(Walk in the park hint maybe)

[sullen ibex]

It's arc raidin time!

Finals stuff, too. But Arc Raidin time 🙂

[velvet narwhal]

the tertiary from rob probably means, that the clue is a tertiary clue

[hard moss]

Likely the case

[warm lantern]

i feel like youre a little lost

[rain robin]

We’re all a little lost brother

[warm lantern]

oh no way

it really is arc raidin time

arrrrrr (c) me harties

[sullen ibex]

i feel like you're a little lost 🙂

[warm lantern]

sorry (heart eyes)

[sullen ibex]

it's alright. wishlist the game on steam if you want in the next test.

[warm lantern]

yeah ive had it on the list since nov i think

[sullen ibex]

it's actually time

[warm lantern]

(and req'ed for EA)

[magic talon]

I legit thought you figured it out because of the eye emoji reaction 💀💀

[gloomy anvil]

🎣 or 🐟 means the eye is fake

[magic talon]

Thanks

[timid solstice]

It’s bait

[ancient otter]

Glad I made that popular

Did too many 👀 back in the day

[unique spruce]

im convinced arc raiders will deliver the meatspace lore and im happy with this

[sand rune]

N lies

[alpine junco]

The image changes when on mobile

[rain robin]

I don’t understand

[marsh marsh]

I don’t think they would get into Masonic stuff but theres 3 degrees of freemasonry. I suppose naturally there will be some parallels intentional or not since freemasonry is based off of mathematics and structures

[snow walrus]

its like an egg

[mental shadow]

Did CNS just hack instagram?!

[runic furnace]

What do you mean?

[marsh marsh]

He’s kidding because Instagram is down right now

[runic furnace]

Oh😂

[dull marsh]

Since we are seeing multiple instances of conspiracy theories references I wouldn't actually be surprised

[clear panther]

why does Horizon system and money ($) remind me about that big scandal in the UK ? about failing computer when over 900 subpostmasters were charged for fraud

I guess I need a break , becoming too crazy

[glass sundial]

And we're stuck on Earth 😔

[balmy shuttle]

So after looking into some Arc raiders stuff. Could CNS be the force that is fighting the group ARC?

[sullen ibex]

hmmmm....i wonder....

[solid jay]

take it to https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1204741064800338000

[bright ruin]

Dawg he's already been linked there lmao

[dull marsh]

X-rays and UV photons are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so Arcus requires a space mission.
Is the atmosphere like a shell for us? 👀

[alpine junco]

System Variable Horizons

[solid jay]

It could be seen that way yes

[balmy shuttle]

Yea and I posted there no one said anything my bad for posting here.

[solid jay]

no worries chats just been really brutal recently with the CNS hacks drawing more attention to the EE hunt lol

[balmy shuttle]

No doubt. It’s kinda hard to figure out at least for me when one starts and one ends. Is lore and EE not related?

[solid jay]

It would be more that we are inside a nucleus

and that CMB is the "shell" to our universe

[alpine junco]

$ = variable

The system varies on the horizon?

[sullen ibex]

that's what i thought

[dull marsh]

Idk, those are two very different interpretations

[solid jay]

Some of it is but the lines are getting blurry. This is off topic though. Thanks for being understanding

[dull marsh]

EE and lore are somewhat related, but for now there isn't much point discussing both mixed together as the clues and content are basically separated

[solid jay]

I mean it's less of a different interpretation and more of an expansion of perspective.

[dull marsh]

Idk, my idea is that the atmosphere is a literal shell, protecting us from the external threats, yours is a bit more metaphysical
Not saying it's wrong, just seems fairly different outside of being related to space

[solid jay]

Yeah fair and it's probably easier to link colour spectrum to atmospheres and what not.

I'm just thinking outside the box a bit

[dull marsh]

Good point

[dull marsh]

Yeah no worry, it's good to question and challenge some stuff and try to extrapolate stuff a bit too much

If we don't we'll get stuck in our ideas

[solid jay]

Yeah for sure

The further you zoom out your perspective the larger the "shell" becomes

[bright ruin]

It's "The bigger picture"

[solid jay]

My thought process stemmed from the comment rob maybe about us being tiny

[dull marsh]

Interesting, I interpreted that more about going for tiny stuff like atoms and molecules 🤔

Both make sense to me

[solid jay]

I looked at it that way too initially

but we haven't really had an indication to go smaller yet outside of the periodic table stuff

but both make sense because the elements make up everything in existence.

[coarse dagger]

I don't think so. I've noticed it too.
It's the same effect from the corpses I pointed out, and I've noticed a table briefly turn into those squares upon breaking.
#easter-eggs message

[alpine junco]

I noticed that two weeks ago and thought my vision was getting bad

[solid jay]

Is this not just the dash animation?

[turbid sorrel]

@solid jay it is but it will stay active even when people aren't dashing

Do we have maps of all glitch corner locations?

[solid jay]

weird gotta love how the graphical "bugs" are so questionable and makes things that much more confusing lol

[solid jay]

there is a threadhttps://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795

[clear panther]

BTW maybe I missed that, did I get it correctly that the mirror was linked to the fact that Alice went through the mirror?

[blissful flame]

i shot the glitchy billboard untill the screen was broken thinking it'll reveal something

also why cant i post images

:[

[solid jay]

you need to rank up to post images and people have posted this before

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1203859365610922036

[coarse dagger]

I'm not sure. That's why I haven't brought it up myself.
I think the dash animation might just make the effect more visible?

[solid jay]

maybe ya, wondering if that guy just spawned in and pressed dash and it bugged out somehow

[glass grotto]

is there a thread or something for new members to read up on whats been found and the story so far of the easter egg hunt

has anything come of the Sys$Horizon message

[rain robin]

Not really

[solid jay]

Yes there is #easter-eggs message

[solid jay]

The padlet is unfortunately out of date a bit I believe

but the wiki contains all the info of how we got here

[jaunty mirage]

i found sth

im not sure tho

i was messin up with the rgb and i got some lines at the bottom that look like morse?

Would come out to like “EIOIE” which I don’t think means anything

[jaunty mirage]

yeah

[crimson tree]

Has anyone look into the barcode sticker for the “tidy inventory set” ?

think it might have a code of some sort?

[velvet narwhal]

It was investigated in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1199692820454322306

Hi how did I see someone with the militar outfit but in white set? like helmet and chest all white instead of grey and black???

[random bramble]

PS5 Exclusive Bundle

[formal pewter]

:/

the best outfit only for them damn

[bright ruin]

PS Plus specifically.

You can claim it without a PS5 but you can't activate it on your embark account without a PS5 to log into (though maybe they'll give it to you if you email them showing you've claimed it on your PS account)

Anyways, this isn't for this chat

[formal pewter]

Sorry ill go to another one then thanks

[turbid tinsel]

the sys image is the first one we got at 4111 × 2312

and is the $ a hint for us to use in the password like the c64 codes or whatever they were?

[solid jay]

PETSCII codes?

[hard current]

I don’t think so personally, this all seems to be more lore related and less ee hunt related, I could be wrong but:)

[solid jay]

i tend to agree but the lines are blurring

[hard current]

agreed, and I think rob intended for that, he said this is all connected in some way.. making it exceptionally hard to solve this tier tho hehe

[solid jay]

haha yeah, except he didn't expect us to stall out this hard

which actually now that i say it makes me think this stuff is even less related to what we need to look at

[turbid tinsel]

almost a full year behind where he thought we'd be lol

possible arc raiders announcement or S2 trailer tomorrow?

[full vale]

yes

[runic furnace]

Yea I thought so too

ooo... interesting

[bleak wharf]

"Nexon’s Soulslike action-RPG from the Dungeon Fighter Online team."

[runic furnace]

It's a bug

[hasty hawk]

It's a feature

[lapis moat]

before you posted this I was about to say: Every possible hint and clue pointing to the incoming season 2 trailer of the finals likely to be a high-profile announcement any hour now: could this be the ark raiders trailer?

[runic furnace]

No i don't think they make it so you can control the crane while on top of highest part of it on purpose

Anyways If you move very carefully you can move it the other directions

[bleak wharf]

there is always a "other great titles coming to Xbox, Windows, or Game Pass." part but it's a bit too much of coping

[runic furnace]

Random thought: does Monaco's surrounding matchup to a place irl and if so do the cannons point to something important

[plucky kettle]

no

it doesnt

the cathederal is real and stuff

but the other stuff it inspired

[runic furnace]

I mean the building underneath monaco since it's floating

[solid jay]

Nothing under the map is relevant

[runic furnace]

Okay 👍

[hard forge]

So, what is the password for T3?

(repost cus no one answered) i found in Seoul weird blue square (with blue ball?) and that lights really bright , is it EE related or just visual bug? 🤔 https://imgur.com/a/ZaF7gqA

[clear panther]

You guys made me re-watch Ready Player One because of the Egg ))

[snow walrus]

now how the f Rob can react with this message it all ruined..

[velvet narwhal]

That's bank it right? Looks like the top of a vault, so probably a bug

[ocean ferry]

ok thx

[mental shadow]

If it's EE related then it's most definitely a minecraft reference because that's for sure the good old diamond helmet... :p

[ocean ferry]

i was thinking about a glitches and cns shit tho...

https://tenor.com/view/lets-do-this-gaming-vr-ready-ready-player-one-gif-10516609

[pallid rock]

this is sorta off topic but also on the topic of weapons:
two of the guns in the game are oddly named

v9s and xp64

their irl counterparts are the laugo alien and mp5 respectively, which is odd considering neither of their names look similar to the in game titles. compare that to the CL-40 (china lake 40 mm), FCAR (scar-H) and the m11 (mac-11) and its odd how off the names of those two guns are

the pistol is weird because v9s sounds an awful lot like the H&K vp9, which is a slightly similar looking pistol, but its odd that if they were researching this gun enough to model and code it into the game that they would make a mistake naming it after a different gun. maybe the LA9 would be more fitting.

the XP54 is the name of a different real world gun, an old canadian carbine. no way thats just a coincidence

we should def keep an eye on this and also look at what the famas will be called in game

(copy paste from another channel but i think this is more fitting in the generic easter egg channel)

[cursive hawk]

Read or listen to the book. A lot better I promise

Wait how are carpe diem and fire red engine releated

[pallid rock]

I know

[bright ruin]

I thought those were separate occurances

[pallid rock]

me too

[fresh quiver]

what do we know.
they are somehow connected. in which way? we don't know.

[pallid rock]

everything is connected

XD

[bright ruin]

I just meant because they shared the same bullet

[hard forge]

both hex code was given to us by Rob

[snow walrus]

i think there are connections on T3 padlet

I am… ._.

[pallid rock]

yes you are good job

[hard current]

specifically ab ovo, from the beginning

[pallid rock]

youre did it

dawn itself is also a beginning

tried to draw out that way but.. not sure

[proud minnow]

I’m never scared, nothing can scare me I’ve seen the deepest of the deepest rabbit holes…

[velvet narwhal]

BOO

[pallid rock]

rabbit mentioned

[hard current]

Rob clearly hasn’t dived into our rabbit hole about orion, the pyramids, and the horizon, or else he would be terrified… 👀

[fresh quiver]

@velvet narwhal we maybe can switch that to solved?

[pallid rock]

nama tama built the pyramids

[velvet narwhal]

Is that in the google doc? I really only edit the eyes table

[hard moss]

He Rob created the force that pushed us down the hole

[fresh quiver]

I like how I look in this chat and see a very good recap but I still don't understand anything and now I feel like I'm on an EE hunt to understand the Egg Hunters 😭

[proud minnow]

I’ve seen through the mirror

[unborn pilot]

actually that's the 5th i believe. also that one in particular has a pattern i'm following:
&/¤”#(? C&/¤N)&&#S/#!
&/¤ appears together in 3 places
¤ is 164
and ” one is not a normal "

[silver rock]

I keep having this feeling that once we get the tier 3 password we'll look at all of the hints we got and think, "wow, it really WAS right in front of us this whole time"

[gloomy anvil]

oh absolutely

[jagged ore]

that basically never happens here right T2ABC and T2DEF🤡 ?

[unborn pilot]

a see through mirror?

[silver rock]

But at the same time I look through all of the tried passwords and I think... how close have we gotten?

[gloomy anvil]

ok, look beyond the walls… look beyond the mirror

[velvet narwhal]

Makes me think of platform nine and three quarters from harry potter

[silver rock]

looking beyond yourself in the mirror would also be looking behind you

[hasty anvil]

One way mirror, idk where that would lead

[pallid rock]

like in prison?

maybe something something the simulation is a prison

idk

[hard forge]

i wonder

[bright ruin]

There's walls in the game around the arena, but they also aren't physically there. They're the invisible grid walls. So we need to be prioritizing looking beyond those?

[hard current]

hm, look beyond the mirror.. wonder if our tier password(s) reversed actually reveals something else

[hard forge]

lets start with 97

its not him

It's "boR", mirror Rob

[pallid rock]

real

[hard forge]

Why was it not discussed again 😭

[unborn pilot]

i'm surprised there isn't a boR on Discord or Reddit

[pallid rock]

does rob exist in the universe of The Finals

[south wyvern]

yes

[velvet narwhal]

I think so yes

[fresh quiver]

thats just a Namatama dressed like rob.

Every Namatama we have seen so far is the same namatama

[pallid rock]

no its him thats an actual photo of rob

[unborn pilot]

they're the devs of arena and CNS is messing with them. boR might be their guy on the inside though, can't tell if we can trust him or CNS

[hasty anvil]

I thought they were all different types of namas, not the same one dressed up haha

[fresh quiver]

should i just show shep namatrauma?

[velvet narwhal]

Has rob seen it yet?

[fresh quiver]

im still not sure tbh. but i think so yes

[pallid rock]

tf is namatrauma

[snow walrus]

THE FINALS is greatest game show and probably there are devs in meatspace who works for it..hehe

[pallid rock]

the worlds* greatest gameshow

smh

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message and some posts below

[pallid rock]

thats so real

can i screenshot pic goes so hard

[velvet narwhal]

Some messages of his sound like he's working for the finals #easter-eggs message

[pallid rock]

yeah thats what i was referencing

[fallen jasper]

“I’ve seen through the mirror, there are no walls” maybe relating to a window?

[inner sand]

Rob I’m going insane

[pallid rock]

first time?

[fallen jasper]

Into the outside, no walls?

[hard current]

I’m IN your walls bro (apparently there are none though)

[jagged ore]

so you don't exist then 🤔 ?

[inner sand]

He’s looking through a one way mirror where’s there’s no walls 😭

[fresh quiver]

f

[hard forge]

TESSERACT ?

[fallen jasper]

Another interpretation could be "a dream." In dreams, we often experience scenarios where boundaries like walls might not exist, similar to the reflection in a mirror.

[timid solstice]

Because we already knew about Euclid

Aren't the beam splitters on LIGO basically one-way mirrors?

[timid solstice]

I know 💀

Although I guess they are not made of mirrors but prisms

Do I need to start putting mirrors near to each hint?))

The entire hunt feels like the matrix. Or like national treasure

Their other game has a bunch of killer robots, it’s seeming like things might be tired together some how

[clear panther]

Well the Horizon software (from the big British post scandal) was made in Japan))) Fujitsu company))

[rain robin]

this does look like the skynet logo

[dull marsh]

Could there be some Mirror's Edge EE in The Finals? 🤔

[rain robin]

I mean come on

[compact minnow]

Wasn't this confirmed by Rob some months ago?

[clear panther]

Like a Big Rat Egg?

[south wyvern]

A long time ago > #easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

Then based on Rob's answer in off topic, if there is a Mirror's Edge EE it might be based on the color coding of stuff on the map, potentially red. #1201288968562552863 message

Might also be related to the history of that color coding

Yoo rob worked on so many

[quaint wagon]

maybe there are multiple worlds or universes inside this game, i was watching some videos and stumbled upon a old video from THE FINALS official youtube channel. at the end of "MAKING THE FINALS | Episode 1 |
Capturing Authentic Sound" they mention that there is multiple worlds in the form of "will help us tell the sonic story of our WORLDS" this could mean there is multiple worlds in the finals universe

[bright ruin]

Well, Arc Raiders no?

[haughty juniper]

i want some link with arc raiders so bad

[quaint wagon]

it was a video about specifically the finals. no?

the audio was used in the finals no?

[bright ruin]

Audio can be rused dude

[quaint wagon]

then why would it be on a youtube channel called THE FINALS and its title is MAKING THE FINALS

[clear panther]

Cyberdyne Neural System ))

[snow walrus]

FF 255 is PI

[bright ruin]

Hype for the game, showcase what went into it, etc. This doesn't mean that audio can't be used for Arc Raiders too

[azure verge]

Because they’re simultaneously working on Arc Raiders, and it’s not impossible that they’d use an event in THE FINALS to announce a beta / release for Arc Raiders

[rain robin]

One hand washes the other

haha if you know how hilarious that text is… not EE-related at all… BUT I will try to boot up my Amiga500 next time I’m down at my farm and see if I can find that artwork I did back in 91-92… haha

[azure verge]

Exactly, perhaps if they take place in the same universe, Arc Raiders could be “the truth outside the walls” which I’ve seen other people hypothesise already

[hushed beacon]

wouldn't that be epic

[bleak wharf]

knowing what embark can do, that “the truth outside the walls” thing is too simple to be true 🤔

[quaint wagon]

whatever, i think yall are stretching here but you have every right to a wrong opinion so ill leave it at that

[bright ruin]

My current theory is that Arc Raiders being the mirrored colors of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (Arc Raiders is Blue Green yellow Red, ZX Spectrum is RYGB) that we're certainly looking at some sort of parallel situation.
Since THE FINALS seems to be running off of/based off of Comodore 64.

These both released in 1982, and the ZX Spectrum and Comodore 64 were pretty big rivals at the time. It makes me wonder if some way or another CNS is on the "other system" (ZX Spectrum) and why they're leaking everything and hacking into it(THE FINALS)

[rain robin]

I think we are the bad guys. Like an a.i training program or something

and humans are trying to wake us up

[azure verge]

Regardless, we’ll probably find out soon enough, and either way I’d love some Mirror’s Edge Easter eggs because I’m obsessed with that game lol

[jagged ore]

Speaking of seeing things in a mirror or through a mirror. It could also just tell us to look at this whole path again

[bright ruin]

The golden spatula /s

[haughty juniper]

i think we will get a lot of stuff answered tmrw at xbox partner preview

[fallen summit]

spitballing here: what if the climax of the CNS story is them asking us to become an arc raider after all they have seen from what we do in the finals? arc raiders could even also be a virtual thing too, and CNS could be trying to use the finals as building blocks to arc raiders?

[jagged ore]

actually looking at the padlet again there already were a few clues towards "mirror/mirrored" but nothing with eyes irc

[dull marsh]

Guys guys, do we have to type the password, but instead of mirroring some characters, we have to take the associated PETSCII, mirror it and then use the associated letter?!

[rain robin]

What are we in the finals? Bots? In a VR? Are we humans off on a farm stuck with Apple Vision Pros on our face?

[quaint wing]

Take your thoughts and start slamming out passwords ❤️

I hope you will solve [T3] before S2, but… I doubt it a little bit, hihi

This sorta suggests we've been chasing rabbits for the last month. How long has it been since we were on a close/correct lead?...

• Gold + Egg
• Latin + Mirror
• Space, Binary stars
• Nobel
  These are all of the endpoints I can recall atm, I must be missing some, that's too few.

[bright ruin]

Golden hour was discussed last year, I wonder if that has any revelance to the "Gold" and 3 dawns topics

[gloomy anvil]

I don't think 3 dawns is related to T3, personally

[hard forge]

the gold ⌚...

[gloomy anvil]

we were supposed to solve T3 / level 2 before the game released, before the open beta even.

[fallen summit]

according to some lore vids ive seen, all finals contestents can be anyone and you aperantly just have to participate, no matter body or fame, (sponsorships are the only thing basicly that is earned.)

[hard forge]

how many days till S2?

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/dracula-eight-gif-12039163

[hard forge]

we got 1 week

(before this place gets heavy traffic)

[rain robin]

Probably coming out the 14th imo

Plus trailer tomorrow most likely

That one bundle In the store with the coins leaves on the 14th

[fallen summit]

do all season 1 bundles leave when season 2 drops?

[rain robin]

just the one that gives you enough coins for a battle pass I’ve noticed. That’s quite coincidental.

[hard forge]

@jade citrus you got 1 week to type in the password

Okay I'm trying to catch up still, but the whole "see through the mirror see behind you" stuff makes me think of what would theoretically happen as you cross the event horizon and fall closer toward the singularity in black hole

you would eventually be able to see behind yourself

[clear panther]

Time to sleep, Golden Humpty-Dumpty will be haunting me in my dreams

Seeing though the mirrors seems like a window

[brittle canyon]

The most recent Nama Tama photo is titled vvv, and I’m wondering if it’s connected with the number 15

[void sonnet]

That would be XV, fyi

the Ceaser reference makes it much more likely that it's "Veni, vidi, vici!"

[bright ruin]

#egg-hunt-onboarding Padlet will tell you what you want to know about all that

[solid jay]

lmao i don't want to hurt anyone's brain

[full token]

Yeah there’s a second picture out of the S.O. Camo guy with VVV in it as well. If you were to mirror/reflect them, it would be XXX. (Still stuck on pyramids)

[void sonnet]

We're also seeing a bunch of palindrome-related stuff, which VVV is, both textually and pictographically

I think the theorizing has been done to death over that one.

[hasty anvil]

Robs given a hint before ‘1+2+3+4+5=???’ Which is also 15

Egg -> 3.6.6 also adds up to 15

Hmm 15 has popped up a few times

[clear panther]

https://youtu.be/airWMfWQqfw?si=9hD4YegJq69PqdeZ what is this? Glitch?

[hasty anvil]

Yeah glitch we found it in here

[clear panther]

So the names are irrelevant to anything

[hasty anvil]

15 is interesting, it’s a bell number, it’s F in hexadecimal, it’s binary is 1111

[wild terrace]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/callofduty/images/d/d1/Famas_menu_icon_BO.png/revision/latest?cb=20120120043300 anyone seen this blackops famas and think it looks like the gun posted by cns

guys imma try to find exact location from early dev video anybody wanna help?

[hasty anvil]

5 is a weird looking E in Greek from that page

[gloomy anvil]

that does look super similar, nice

[wild terrace]

its apparently based off of the famas valorise which some guys in the cns post thread have been talking about but i think the black ops version looks much more similar

[keen egret]

What if it’s just our conscience “hacking” into what we’re seeing. Trying to go against the forced vision of virtual reality and it’s trying to break it apart or show us that it’s not real.

[shrewd fog]

so CNS is a hacker group for good and trying to get us out of the virtual reality sim?

[hasty anvil]

Most recent game update Rob said had assets to help us with this tier, is there anything non-CNS that was found?

It's not a mistake, they were just updating the message about ranks where they have to tag each group, but no it's the first time I've seen it happen in a month

Anyone else think CNS’s connection to retro gaming is interesting?

Could tie in with their motives - being free from the influence of corporate interests or manipulation aka the sponsors / multi co?

[void sonnet]

I know we're not allowed to brute force, but do we consider targeted wordlist generation "brute forcing"? Maybe we're searching all the right places, but there's a gap in our search pattern missing the solution by an inch.

Like, if I want to try every imaginable variation of "goldenegg" with various roman and 1337 replacements is it ok to use a tool to do that?

[solid jay]

This kinda feels wrong and isn't really in the spirit of things imo, but I'll let other weigh in.

Hi welcome to the hunt! You should start by reading this pinned post. 🙂
#easter-eggs message

Yea I searched discord and checked padlet didnt see anything, didnt know if it was something that was already looked at and dismissed.

[solid jay]

If it wasn't mentioned previously and you have something new to add we'd love to hear your take!

[upper sonnet]

also being as I am new, figured that having others who have been searching longer might know if something isnt worth looking into

I can do more digging but notable people of science seemed to be a trend and when i saw the name of the park and looked up the person, I thought it could possibly be something. I'll go down the rabbit hole.

[solid jay]

This location/person hasn't come up yet. If you can tie it into some of the stuff we have already made connections with maybe it'll help lead us somewhere.

[dull marsh]

Yup, keep going in the rabbit hole, just remember that it might be a rabbit hole so you don't get stuck if it doesn't pay off!

Best way to really get into that EE hunt if you ask me

[upper sonnet]

Humboldt is seen as "the father of ecology" and "the father of environmentalism"

A flower was a clue

ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.

Maybe tying biological clues too a physical location is where Ill go.

[solid jay]

Could be promising just don't get hung up on it if it gets too "out there"

[dull marsh]

If anyone need some motivation from Rob for T3
#1201288968562552863 message

I really, really, really hope so… but there are probably 5-60 clues out there that you guys found that you still really have figured out how the fit or what they mean so I guess a lot of things will still feel like random clues, but they all fit…

[turbid tinsel]

viold-dloiv-p104- maybe page 104 in a book ?

idk im out of ideas

viold sounds like behold

is there any eyes for pi? if you alter the last two passwords you can pretty much get 3.14159

pi would fit the -1 theme for pie

[mild magnet]

How do you get from "evivi" and "viold" to 3.14159

[turbid tinsel]

e=3

could substitute l for 1 in leet, iv is 4 in roman numerals.

could take one of the other vi's and just use v from it as 5

[mild magnet]

Thanks for the explanation

[turbid tinsel]

im just spitballing, probably wouldnt work or is relevant

[unkempt dune]

you know, thinking about pyramids and 1 dawn being 6 degrees.. made me think about how the background color of tfee_ques.jpg has a background of 6, 6, 6.. right?

you can calculate the volume of a pyramid with three numbers

so when the following is the case:

base length = 6
base width = 6
pryamid height = 6
```the volume of the pyramid would be 72

which could relate back to Messier object M72, which is in the constellation Aquarius

which would relate back to this dude from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_(constellation) (Urania's Mirror)

[turbid tinsel]

his hand holding the baton looks like the hand in the mideval migrane picture rob eyed

[unkempt dune]

that's where that guy was brought up previously

when discussing the migraine sticker (#easter-eggs message)

[turbid tinsel]

leg positions and everything

pretty similar

also wearing a crown similar to the VVV nama

[dull marsh]

Yup he looks like Medieval Migraine to me

"Australis" could relate to auroras?

[turbid tinsel]

this is a long shot but here me out

we got guybrush threepwood

three p in his name

3 p's in that image

[dull marsh]

Yeah sounds like a stretch not gonna lie

[turbid tinsel]

the guy himself is named ea and we got some ae references

and to add to egypt

In Ancient Egypt astronomy, Aquarius was associated with the annual flood of the Nile

[dull marsh]

Unless it gets eyed, I just feel like this image is just one illustration of aquarius, hence why I have a hard time believing the 3 p relates to that specific image

[unkempt dune]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_astronomy#Ancient_Egypt

Egyptian astronomy dates back to prehistoric times. The presence of stone circles at Nabta Playa in Upper Egypt from the 5th millennium BCE show the importance of astronomy to the religious life of ancient Egypt, even in the prehistoric period. The annual flooding of the Nile meant that the heliacal risings, or first visible appearances of stars at dawn, were of special interest in determining when this might occur.

dawn is mentioned there

[dull marsh]

But the aquarius link seems interesting

[turbid tinsel]

another stretch, his actual name before being referenced as EA was Enki.

[dull marsh]

What do you mean by EA?

Like he was literally called "ea"?

[turbid tinsel]

actually i dont have a stretch i dont think

[turbid tinsel]

Enki (Sumerian: 𒀭𒂗𒆠 DEN-KI) is the Sumerian god of water, knowledge (gestú), crafts (gašam), and creation (nudimmud), and one of the Anunnaki. He was later known as Ea

He was later known as Ea (Akkadian: 𒀭𒂍𒀀) or Ae

so same thing mirrored

[dull marsh]

Water could relate to space, as it's usually contained in comets

Could relate to water, as eggs are basically keeping the embryo in a wet environment

and water is an essential ingredient to our lifeform

It's also a very good shield against radiation, which probably helped life a lot

And it's why we only see in the visible spectrum

Because what's outside of the visible spectrum is absorbed by water

[turbid tinsel]

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

used to be a constelation that is no longer is use

[unkempt dune]

https://www.gaia.com/article/the-mathematical-genius-encoded-in-the-great-pyramid

Hancock also points out that if you were to multiply the base perimeter of the Great pyramid (3,024 ft.) by 43,200 you get the Earth’s equatorial circumference. If you multiply its height (481 ft.) by 43,200 you’re left with the polar radius of the Earth. This number, 43,200, is relevant because it represents the axial precession of the Earth or the way in which it wobbles on its axis. 43,200 is a multiple of 72, which is the number of years it takes for one degree of that wobble.

These numbers, 72 and 432, can be found in a number of ancient mythologies and sacred texts, including:

• 72: the number of languages spoken at the tower of Babel
• 72: the number of names for God in Jewish Kabbalah
• 72: the number of temples at Angkor Wat
• 72: the number of degrees longitude between Angkor Wat and the Great Pyramid
• 432,000: the number of syllables in the Hindu Rig Veda
• 432 Hz: the harmonic frequency believed to be an optimal resonance for music

[dull marsh]

Not gonna lie I absolutely despise those fake connections that make it look like something that was never there

[unkempt dune]

yeah, in this case, none of them seem relevant anyway

[dull marsh]

Of course Egyptians used Hz, they used seconds as a time unit!! And the exact GPS coordinates? Yes speed of light in metric units was already known back then!!! 💀

(rant is over)

[turbid tinsel]

is there anything that could be used with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louvre_Pyramid?

[unkempt dune]

However, a longstanding rumor claims that the pyramid includes exactly 666 panes, "the number of the beast", often associated with Satan. The story of the 666 panes originated in the 1980s, when the official brochure published during construction cited this number twice. The number 666 was also mentioned in various newspapers. One writer on esoteric architecture asserted that "the pyramid is dedicated to a power described as the Beast in the Book of Revelation.... The entire structure is based on the number six."[20]

The myth resurfaced in 2003, with the protagonist of the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code saying: "this pyramid, at President Mitterrand's explicit demand, had been constructed of exactly 666 panes of glass — a bizarre request that had always been a hot topic among conspiracy buffs who claimed 666 was the number of Satan."[21] In fact, according to Pei's office, Mitterrand never specified the number of panes.[19]

that's interesting

[dull marsh]

the architectonic framework evokes, at gigantic scale, an ancient atrium of a Pompeiian villa

[unkempt dune]

it is also made of glass, so to some degree, it is like a mirror

[dull marsh]

The construction work on the pyramid base and underground lobby was carried out by the Vinci construction company
Füčk this company and his owner btw 🥰

Also there is an inverted pyramid underneath the big one, which would definitely count as a mirror, although it's smaller

[feral ember]

eggs

So the guy who made the louvre pyramid also made some previously for the National Gallery of Art over in DC, which conveniently contains some paintings from Paul klee

Paul Klee (1879–1940), Swiss : Persische Nachtigallen (Persian Nightingales), gouache, watercolor, and pen and black ink over graphite on laid paper, mounted on cardboard; the sheet bordered at the top with yellow paper strip mounted to support, ID: 1990.59.2

Pei won prizes and awards in the field of architecture, including the AIA Gold Medal in 1979

In 1983, he won the Pritzker Prize, which is sometimes referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture.

[turbid tinsel]

yo tell me this isnt a coincidence

didnt we get something relating to hexagons awhile back?

from rob

gouache, watercolor, and pen and black ink over graphite on laid paper, mounted on cardboard; the sheet bordered at the top with yellow paper strip mounted to support

Graphite crystallizes in the hexagonal system

is it possible the white background of tion is supposed to relate to the papper

[signal cargo]

👀

[turbid tinsel]

Graphite electrodes carry the electricity that melts scrap iron and steel, and sometimes direct-reduced iron (DRI), in electric arc furnaces

might be a stretch but we didnt we get an arc reference as well?

Electrolytic aluminium smelting also uses graphitic carbon electrodes. On a much smaller scale, synthetic graphite electrodes are used in electrical discharge machining (EDM), commonly to make injection molds for plastics.

edm, maybe a reference to that techno concert rob also mention a ways back being that style of music?

might be diving to far but all of this seems solid

man hopefully rob doesnt over look this so we know if its worth diving deeper into

[dull marsh]

Humphry Davy was the first to isolate multiple elements with electricity, including calcium

He also invented a very early form of arc lamp

The arc hint might be about electrical arcs

Davy also studied the forces involved in these separations, inventing the new field of electrochemistry

I have an idea for the canons

What if for the ones that shoot at the buildings, we destroy anything in the cannonballs way to see where they would hit if no buildings are in the way

[vagrant jacinth]

Update in 30, surely we see some more lore stuff added just a week away from s2

[silk dove]

How do you know?

[vagrant jacinth]

We’ve gotten an update at 4am central (my time) for the past 2 months. Surely it stays consistent?

[velvet narwhal]

it could be later today. Today is the Xbox event and Nexon (the publisher of THE FINALS) is part of it. I can imagine that something happens there.

[vagrant jacinth]

That would be cool and worth while. Even tho I’m hoping for soon

Probably not in the rules how I found out

then don't share it

[fresh quiver]

then just maybe don't even tell what you've found out when it comes from sources that are against the rules and even against ToS from discord

[urban coyote]

I'm surprised no one figured it out tbh

There's a hint somewhere on the subreddit

[fresh quiver]

when its from the subreddit you can share it

wait. which subreddit?

[signal grotto]

Well instead of saying "probably not in the rules how i found out" you could instead say you found a hint on subreddit, no?

[urban coyote]

so someone shared datamined material?

...there are probably 5-60 clues out there that you guys found that you still really have figured out how the fit or what they mean so I guess a lot of things will still feel like random clues, but they all fit…

[fallen jasper]

now that's some goooo-od crack rocks!

[hasty anvil]

The 5-60 format always confuses me, then I realise it’s 50-60…

We need a good picture board/padlet of all base clues we have

guess no update till at least 6pm tonight then, the 10am window has def passed

[sand rune]

or tommorrow morning

this happens too sometimes

[dull marsh]

Lucas Arts logo is illustrated by a yellow dude

This dude is called the Gold Guy

And it looks like a big opened eye

OYE

Lucas Arts made some Indiana Jones games that have been hinted and eyed by Rob

[snow walrus]

Gold Guy", was introduced in 1990 and first used within Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
The logo consisted of a crude gold-colored figure inspired by an Ancestral Puebloan petroglyph,

[dull marsh]

It's also pretty obvious but now that we've got the clue "arc"

Raiders of the lost ark?

(Arc Raiders?)

[rain robin]

Gold gun? 007

[clear panther]

Golden Eye )) 007

[rain robin]

James Bond? Sean Connery confirmed season 2 skin?

Sean was also in raiders of the lost ark

pretty obvious but the Lucas Arts connection to Star Wars aswel for the various space clues

[alpine junco]

ROB WAS A CIA OPERATIVE

[turbid tinsel]

they also did curse of monkey island

i posted somethings about this awhile back i think but i dont think we got any eyes

shoot even c3-po is gold and what not

[hollow briar]

Hi im new here! just dropping some thought... Rob said: I only see pictures of matchstick men. which ofc brought up the status quo. The term "status quo ante bellum" is a Latin phrase meaning "the situation as it existed before the war". ante bellum ofc ties in with nobel and Jocelyn bell. Since Ligo detects gravity waves from the collisions of binary systems and the finals has glitches now and looks like a simulation, maybe CNS and The Finals binary systems are coliding at this moment. Suggesting some kind of attack or war?

[sharp flame]

Definitely a good idea! Like a clash

[proven gazelle]

NEW VIDEO!

[velvet narwhal]

Yep, but i think there's nothing

[proven gazelle]

theres a little glitching going on but i didn't see anything so far..

[velvet narwhal]

the glitching at the end is in every video

[gloomy anvil]

This is our last chance at getting T3 clues in Season 1 assets, which Rob said he's added

[velvet narwhal]

I wonder if there're now more glitch clusters

or they're bigger

[eternal violet]

why does uranus have rings?

[rain robin]

Public schools

[snow walrus]

We have never seen these 2 lines in logo have we?

[alpine junco]

no

[velvet narwhal]

is that even the finals logo?

[snow walrus]

My first thought it was

[hard forge]

i scrolled over it. Thanks for posting it here again.

[snow walrus]

Uranus has rings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rings_of_Uranus

But i get your point

[eternal violet]

yea just realized. weird how many illustrations dont show them ever. maybe its a clue to take a look at them.

[snow walrus]

Epsilon zeta mu nu

[eternal violet]

the rings are also named by the greek alphabet letters.

[gloomy anvil]

"DAD"

iirc a previous tier used "MOM" on a few occasions, referring to the Mars Orbital Mission.

Maybe DAD can be treated similarly?

[velvet narwhal]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dad_(disambiguation)

[hard moss]

"The reverse of the medal(Nobel prize, physics and chemistry) depicts the Goddess of Nature in the form of Isis"
Isis had an important position in the sky, passages in the pyramid text connects her closely to the star Sirius, the Orion constellation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_Texts
Isis also called "Lady of the Heaven" "whose dominion over the sky parallels Osiris's rule over the Duat

Isis also seemed to have connections to many Greek and Roman deities.

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

Isis was often depicted with cow horns, which could be a connection to a lot of cosmetics.

This would in turn connect back to the MultiCo documents hinting towards pyramid

As always, this is wild speculation

Latest trailer

[dull marsh]

Uranus does have ring, it's sometimes depicted but only as thin ring (because it is), so I don't feel like that's weird

I would actually be a bit annoyed if there wasn't any ring tbh

[eternal violet]

whoever has a 4k monitor should investigate the new tattoo ingame. theres 105, 109, and cant make out the last one.

[eternal violet]

for a thin ring it looks too prominent for me. idk.

[dull marsh]

You can only make a tattoo that thin

Anyone has a link to the new video?

[hard moss]

#game-announcements probably

[dull marsh]

Oh I see, I thought there was a new lore video

A few observations

Is that written GT? Could mean "greater than", corresponding to > symbol

Not sure what those numbers are, bottom one looks like 104?

[snow walrus]

MOM

[dull marsh]

We gotta get a better look at that image of Nama Tama, we probably missed some clues there

idk it looks like a toast

Your toast has text on it? 🤔

there is a charm

like a world map

but not same as the earth

I think that's just the usual flat earther model with Antarctica shown as a wall of ice around the world

[snow walrus]

Hatched egg says to him:

It's time to leave this island LOOM child. Your destiny lies beyond the sunset across the sea.

That Nama Tama is called NamaTama_Revenge

the Golden Egg as the source of the creation of the universe. It is said that God, wishing to create the world, produced an egg as big as the cosmos.

the golden egg theory i suppose

god = system that manages the colosseum typa game in the virtual world

the tattoos are kinda sus

cause the creation of the world

why the solar system

[dusk veldt]

Very hard to read and i cant upload images but at the beginning it says ”a” or ”o” but there is some scribbling above(maybe ”å”). Then ”+” and then 1=ø

But i found more numbers

Just above there is a ”110”

Aswell as ”116”

And 114

[eternal violet]

you can upload to imgur

[dusk veldt]

One sec ill do that

[eternal violet]

sounds like lower case letters in ascii to me

[dusk veldt]

Https://imgur.com/a/xKntXc6

[dusk veldt]

There ya go

And i just found another number at the feed me thing, number 101

[eternal violet]

that circle with text looks like euler's identity to me, and it makes sense thats its in a circle

[dusk veldt]

What about the words ”GT”?

[eternal violet]

besides what ludonope said, not sure

[willow barn]

GToast

[dusk veldt]

Ah, okay, but notably, there are planets on the tattoos. I've seen a lot of space talk here, things like Lagrange points and so on. Might be related?

[rain robin]

does a county in Indiana start with GT?

[unkempt dune]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/comments/1b81kwr/01110111_01100010/

[dusk veldt]

Nope but it might be something like “Green Hill” or something of the like, I don't know how to explain it English isn't my native language

[velvet narwhal]

All the numbers I was able to find on the new tattoo
Left arm:
116 above a heavy
114 in a bullet
110 in a rocket

Right arm:
101 in a cashout
109 near planets
105 above gun namatama
97 on rob in water

did I miss any?

[hidden nacelle]

new cns

[eternal violet]

from the lowest converting to ascii would be
right: a e i m
left: n r t

[dusk veldt]

Not really, there is the special number

[eternal violet]

however that 116 looks kinda weird to me

[velvet narwhal]

yeah theres also a 5 in roman numerals and a #1 but didn't include it since it's a different style

The rob in the water looks really funny

[timid solstice]

Is the binary 119 and 98

[eternal violet]

the dice added up spell out "12 10"

[dusk veldt]

Isn't “n r t” all consonants and all but the “m” vowels, or am I thinking way out of the box here?

[velvet narwhal]

There's also a formula in a circle on the left arm but I can't really make it out.
It's between the cowboy and the rocket

[hollow briar]

Surely the answer to T3 is relatively simple with all the evidence we have and has to be encrypted with a ceasar cipher? Because of al the hints regarding ceasar..

in comments

01110111 01100010 = wb (ascii)

[dusk veldt]

You mean the “å + 1=ø”

[eternal violet]

this one? looks like euler's identity to me

[dusk veldt]

Might be ”å” im not sure?

[dusk veldt]

Oh yeah thats probably it

Eulers Identity

[velvet narwhal]

the first part is similar but it doesnt really look like a = 0.
It looks more like a 0 with a check through it

[eternal violet]

you can write a 0 with a dash through it, some fonts have it

[dusk veldt]

Ø, its norwegian

[eternal violet]

we also had a namatama image with 0 with a dash

[velvet narwhal]

and the exponent also doesnt really look like a i(pi).
To me it looks more like a 9v

[eternal violet]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T1D#/media/File:404.jpg

[dusk veldt]

Its 0 yes, but the ^gibberish looks weird

[eternal violet]

and the circle itself makes sense to show with a eulers identity

[dusk veldt]

Rob probably drew it and now youre just being mean for no reason

[dull marsh]

Euler is a big recurring hint, we need to find how to tie it in with the rest of the clues

[eternal violet]

noo, i meant in universe 😭

[bleak wharf]

yeah it's first The Finals scribbles that rob drew in his spare time probably

[dull marsh]

Euler's identity to be precise

[pine hedge]

It looks to me like resurrecting a player? thats its statue thing filling up, and the morse code spells wb (welcome back)

[sharp flame]

New revive animations coming?

Would be cool to see the statue fill up

[pine hedge]

Maybe its relating to 0=o? Considering euler's identity normally = 0, by it equalling 0 but crossed out maybe its saying that things dont equal what theyre meant to or smthing?

[gloomy anvil]

• Player statue filling up / uploading
• "If CNS wanted real fame, they'd need to compete. Just like you, Scotty"
• "wb" - welcome back

This is more of a #📕┇lore thing but, scotty? cns? idk

[dusk veldt]

No, ø its usually, in mathematical terms, used to describe that the element has no value

[pine hedge]

oh wait, maybe wb refers to welcoming scotty back into the finals? but i agree, more of a lore thing

[dusk veldt]

Werent there some glitches happening in the end of the latest trailer, has anybody looked at that?

eulers identity having no value? thats also interesting

Kinda seems like the conversation around it dropped off from a cursory discord search.

[sand crest]

smoke & mirrors

[solid jay]

Halley's Comet

• Ecliptic orbit
• Retrograde (mirrored) orbit
• As it approaches the sun it's gases would give off light visible on the spectrum
• The first analytical method based on three observations, that did not make use of geometrical considerations was presented by Euler in Theoria motuum planetarum et cometarum
• The geometrical method, based on three observations, was used by Euler for the investigation of the comet of 1742

Conclusion
I strongly believe we are looking for something that is orbiting.

Wait tell me if it’s been mentioned but,

What if it’s not a specific orbiting object we’re looking for? Could it not be “orbit” itself? Considering orbits are elliptical, they’re inherently egg shaped

The nine-tail fox has mirrored interpretations. Some think it represents love. Others think it is a bad omen.
