easter-eggs

[bright ruin]

Probably CaCo3 yeah?

[dull marsh]

Because Rob said that he didn't expect to see that now, not sure of the exact wording but he expected to see that clue a while ago

[dull marsh]

Probably yeah

[shrewd fog]

ah that makes sense, i thought he meant we were early, sounds good ludonope

keep it simple, focus on what we have now / new 🙏

[turbid tinsel]

in regards to c64c/c46c?

oh nvm, you were replying to sneaky

if we take it as c46c and alter it to roman numerals we get iiiivviiii which would in a sense be 1-9 in roman numerals

almost

is it possible the VIC might possibly lead us to the vic video interface chip for the commodore?

[balmy shuttle]

VIC oddly connects to fall damage 32768 is a ROM location on a C64 and also the same number as fall damage (Off the Map). Not sure that means anything just thought it was strange.

There’s a line function that Tells the VIC to go to location 7168 to get the data for its character set, rather than looking to ROM location 32768 Source pg 128 first line: https://www.commodore.ca/gallery/magazines/gazette/Compute-Gazette-Issue-05-02.pdf

[regal laurel]

I know that this is probably nothing but why is the I I'm the ACCEPT NO LiES lower case?

[turbid tinsel]

vic-iii Graphics in the C65
what if the password is actually related to the c65.

might be a stretch but here me out

just need to check something

viold and evivi

[gloomy anvil]

off-by-one

[turbid tinsel]

c is the 3rd letter in the alphabet which would be 3

in another key E=3

i need to double check this, i feel this is a possibility but i dont wanna sound like a fool again lol

[balmy shuttle]

Oddly enough 7168 came up in some math in a Nama image, But looks like it never went anywhere. Maths here: #1190163908292513812 message

[turbid tinsel]

ok so my theory was not correct but i may have just found something else

is there anything at all that we can link to the word or letters holt

that would be egg shaped or anything egg

[bright ruin]

Holtow

[turbid tinsel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4435_Holt

[balmy shuttle]

Isn’t their logo egg shaped?

[turbid tinsel]

evivi backwards = 4435

e being the 5th letter in the alphabet and having 2 meanings possibly?

44+35=79

is a stony asteroid, sizable Mars-crosser and binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 5 kilometers in diameter.

binary, mars, space, the number 5

asteroids themselves can be egg/oval shapped

its a reach but man im over this tier

[balmy shuttle]

Holtow is the only sponsor with an official website. Thats really all I can find/think of

[turbid tinsel]

any relations to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._C._Escher ? im just jumping in holes and jumping out, this one came from minor planet 4444 Escher since we had 4444 unresolved earlier. Guy was a graphics artist

his work has appeared on the covers of many books and albums. He was one of the major inspirations for Douglas Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1979 book Gödel, Escher, Bach.

[unkempt dune]

thinking about space and 404s right now

made me wonder what NASA's 404 says:

[unkempt dune]

Apollo 17 (1972) is interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_17. Here's a few reasons why:

• Has 17 in its name, similar to Team 17 and LIGO 17
• It's related to space (truth 1)
• Insignia has red bars on the eagle mirroring those on the U.S. flag (truth 2)
• Insignia includes the color gold (truth 3)
• Had eggs of simple animals (truth 4)
• Apollō is Latin, which comes from the Apóllōn (truth 5)
• The laurel or laurel wreath is a symbol of the god Apollo (nama tama laurel wreath)
• Apollo 17 took a picture of a crater called Euler (someone noticed this before this tier, #easter-eggs message) (Euler's Identity)
• Retroreflectors (they reflect laser light pulses) were installed on the moon by previous Apollo missions (mirroring)
• You can consider the Apollo missions the beginning of a new era for space exploration (ab ovo)
• Saturn V, the "super heavy-lift launch vehicle" used for Apollo 17 had F-1 engines (f-1 and VVV)

[crystal folio]

https://tenor.com/view/egg-egg-static-dancing-dance-moves-gif-17838100

[turbid tinsel]

i like it, might sound dumb but i think we need an X, the number 10, or a J to fit in the password

[hardy basin]

Hey fellas. Any eyeing from Rob last couple of days?

[unkempt dune]

LRVs were used for greater surface mobility during the Apollo J-class missions, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17.

[turbid tinsel]

10 mirrored top to bottom would be LO, rob has given us X a few times, J would be the 10th letter, and OL is part of the word gold

and maybe based on letters/roman numerals gold is spelled backwards reflected top to bottom

[unkempt dune]

not an X, but they did have to tape this fender extension on the lunar roving vehicle and now it's on display in a museum

[turbid tinsel]

i keep seeing what i think are J's in the artwork but i cant link it to anything so i havent been sharing it personally

[unkempt dune]

The color TV camera mounted on the front of the LRV could be remotely operated by Mission Control in pan and tilt axes as well as zoom. This allowed far better television coverage of the EVA than the earlier missions.

that could be related to that space nama's camera thing

not as fancy as the one on the nama tama

probably unrelated

although there might be more than one camera

[copper sequoia]

This one is a bit of a stretch but hear me out. What if we should be looking at constellations that are visible from Stockholm?
https://theskylive.com/planetarium?objects=sun-moon-mercury-venus-mars-jupiter-saturn-uranus-neptune-pluto&localdata=59.3326|18.0649|Stockholm%2C+Sweden|Europe%2FStockholm|0&obj=sun&h=07&m=22&date=2024-12-25#ra|16.28122184637208|dec|16.076264940091463|fov|80

[unkempt dune]

check out this funny thing that has apollo in its name

funny there's a V, a bat, and the color spectrum

technically "Amiga" related

but it's modern from the looks of it

[bright ruin]

Interesting

[full token]

Archer?

[bright ruin]

Also, think I found a 6 in the gold question mark, or a g if you flip upside down (makes sense g=6)

I'm assuming this clue is meant as a clue specifically for it's own password (viold) rather than anything helpful for T3

[fresh quiver]

which? the G=6 or the possible 6 hidden in the questionmark?

[full token]

is the tf wiki down for anybody else?

[dim silo]

Wiki KO for me too.

[bright ruin]

6 in the questionmark

it was probably one of the ways to determine that g=6 because it's rather suspiciously g shaped, while also being a 6. it's not distinctly round like a 6 normally would be

[fresh quiver]

we still got the g=6 binary clue on the images after tier 3 has started.

[bright ruin]

what do you mean?

like in the binary of the question marks?

[dim silo]

Wiki back and hacked

[fresh quiver]

#game-announcements message
Was posted after we got to Tier 3.
The Barcode on the top right Is binary.
Binary translated gives us "G=6"

[full token]

it's been like that, good to know it's back though, ty

[bright ruin]

Oooh, I see. Never saw that

[dim silo]

Oops didn't see it before

[unkempt dune]

C64 hints could be related to the fact that "Amigas were used in various NASA laboratories to keep track of low orbiting satellites until 2004. Amigas were used at Kennedy Space Center to run strip-chart recorders, to format and display data, and control stations of platforms for Delta rocket launches." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)

[unkempt dune]

ran into this page about Orion: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-121022a-artemis-i-orion-easter-eggs-revealed.html

The black and white bars seen next to the NASA "worm" logotype is binary for the number 18. The last mission to fly astronauts to the moon was Apollo 17, hence the next number in the sequence. (By coincidence, the Artemis I mission is set to splashdown on the same date, 50 years ago, that Apollo 17 landed on the moon.)

Interesting it has a reference to Apollo 17.

The letters C, B, A, G, and F that appear on a yellow sticker to the right of Orion's hatch are hidden notes of the music type. Each represents an opening note in the 1954 song "Fly Me to the Moon" written by Bart Howard. A decade later, the same song as performed by Frank Sinatra became associated with the Apollo missions to the moon.

Kind of funny that those letters are similar to Saturn's rings D, C, B, A, F, G and E

Yoooo, even calling codes for countries were used on Orion

The numbers seen on the forward bulkhead to the right of Orion's docking tunnel are the country calling codes for the nations who contributed to the Artemis I spacecraft being built. (NASA)

I tried using calling codes a while back for something #1212327783909429288 message

[quaint stream]

1 million bullets.

There I said it here lol

[dusk veldt]

Rob said that there were still clues from tier 2 that we hadnt figured out that would be relevant for future EE, did we figure those out?

[alpine junco]

no

[dull marsh]

50 to 60 to be precise

[fresh quiver]

maybe some were found. I think 1 or 2 were found it the last weeks or so.

Feel free to look into the Google Sheet where some clues are listed. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=411951774

Also take a look @coarse dagger TFEE Vault https://thelulzy.github.io/TF-EE-quartz-obsidian-vault/

There are still unsolved things. its also possible that we have overlooked clues that were hidden somewhere

[sharp flame]

Beat u to it

😜

[turbid tinsel]

Altering the QB image underneath some other pictures, does that look like it says code?

[dull marsh]

Kinda yeah, but not sure if it's clear enough to consider it as a clue

[turbid tinsel]

first time ive come across it in my passes

[fresh quiver]

could be. But not sure either. could be just a lucky random moment

[snow walrus]

what can we give to Namatama who is in cashout station other than a cash box. Obviously vault makes Nama crack

[daring bluff]

I’m curious how The Finals will “fight back”… i mean, they have to get their branding back soon somehow 🤣

also small personal hope is that they change the theme color from red to something like bluish purple or dark blue

and change the backgrounds in game accordingly

[sand rune]

omg this is why rob brought up retro gaming, a ton of fun things (C64, atari, even the music in some spots) sounded retro, the theme of season 2 is retro/retro gaming imo

There is also some text on the bottom right that is very hard to read

Not the namatama getting absolutly shredded in this trailer 😭😭😭

[hard current]

The Dematerializer for Mediums: a specialization that temporarily erases physical surfaces, like walls, ceilings, or goo — allowing contestants to see, shoot, and pass through them. Create new passageways and close them back up again —turn every obstacle into an open door.

The Anti-Gravity Cube for Heavys: a deployable cube that manipulates gravity in its immediate area, lifting contestants and objects upwards! Is it a traversal tool? Or a defensive gadget? It’s up to each contestant!

The Gateway for Lights: a pair of limited-range deployable portals! When both are thrown and activated, contestants and objects can move between the two locations. Anyone can use a portal, but players can’t see or shoot through them! Perfect for a quick getaway, when things get hairy.

The Data Reshaper for Mediums: a gadget that changes enemy fortifications (or any random objects for that matter) into something else entirely — like turning an enemy mine into a chair. Or an enemy turret into a table. Great for breaking through enemy defenses!

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2073850/view/4130435365862894609?l=english

I hate that I can't message in threads

[alpine junco]

exclusive

[sharp flame]

Just a hint.. I think maybe the credits scroll text may be updated. 👀

[subtle lotus]

Just level up lol

[snow sapphire]

maybe something to do with the practice arena roses?

[alpine junco]

it is lol

[civic herald]

I think it's to do with the ltm

[snow sapphire]

I don't contribute much

[green turtle]

I think it could be glitches on maps as well

[sharp flame]

how do u know hmm

[subtle lotus]

You just need 25 or so messages to be orange

[bright ruin]

Potentially! I don't disagree

[snow sapphire]

it could be literally anything. a big update like the upcoming one could remove a lot

[velvet scroll]

where are the cannons in regards to the glitches?

[alpine junco]

i dont

[sour needle]

Monaco

[solid jay]

Maybe we can use the dematerializer to move the cannons? (press X to doubt)

[civic herald]

But rob said disappear forever, which sounds exactly like something that would happen with an ltm they never bring back. They'll keep all the maps in but the same can't be said about an ltm and especially an ltm that gives out cosmetics

[velvet scroll]

ye but where exactly on the map, maybe they intersect or something

[dusk veldt]

We tried that, it didnt really lead anywhere

[alpine junco]

smoking guns isnt ever gonna come back

maybe thats why they extended it

[velvet narwhal]

I think it can only dematerialize stuff

[proven tulip]

maybe its still about the glitches on the maps?

[solid jay]

ya a bit of wishful thinking

[snow sapphire]

plenty of things could disappear with the update. white rabbits, roses, etc. idk.

[civic herald]

@proven tulip I think the glitches have more to do with the new season and other Easter egg stuff

[unique spruce]

what an incredible S2 drop

[sour needle]

look in monaco and ballons

[dusk veldt]

What does R A B L stand for? Any refference

[sour needle]

Did the text in the credits change?

[civic herald]

I saw someone say it could stand for Rob already beat the level

[bright ruin]

Lol that was me, it was a joke
It could be what it stands for though, but i doubt it

Are these balloons new?

[hidden nacelle]

no

[civic herald]

Pretty sure I seen those yesterday

[snow sapphire]

I don't recognize em

[bright ruin]

Huh, guess I've never looked up at them

[sour needle]

I remember them having a different shape like circle but im probably wrong

[subtle lotus]

I've never seen em

[unkempt dune]

they're off to the side of the map

usually small

I don't know if I've ever seen a large version of them

[bright ruin]

Got it, could just be perspective

[wet locust]

Ok so the new map is the SYS$HORIZON thing

[velvet narwhal]

Should we make a Smoking Guns EE hunt thread?

[dusk veldt]

Random letters and numbers appearing shortly at 0:46

[wet locust]

Turns out it was a teaser and not an EE clue, damn

[acoustic canyon]

did i read it wrong or did it say "let S live forever"

[dusk veldt]

I can see Q, 2, X, W, 1 and many more

[snow walrus]

Scotty's voice has changed?

[proven tulip]

if its Scotty

[alpine junco]

3 day exclusive EE hunt countdown

[dusk veldt]

There are some additional numers at 0:58 appearing in the top right corner, very easy to read but are there for less then a sexond🤔🤔

[bright ruin]

Was the Blue X pointed out on the side of the TV Head?

[upper sonnet]

how do I get permissions to post in threads?

[plucky kettle]

I guess ill post here for now.

[dusk veldt]

Theres a shape that keeps reappering several times in glitches

[bright ruin]

Did you guys see this?

[upper sonnet]

I cant even put pictures in here

[dawn coral]

do we know if we can deflect the cannonballs from the cannons on monaco with a goo/jumppad setup?

[dusk veldt]

Saw it but simular text appears throughout the map in other vids

[bright ruin]

Hmm, maybe a map thing then

[dusk veldt]

I think it was something like hospital something something, that had the same text

[upper sonnet]

https://steamcommunity.com/id/Masterj2g/screenshot/2412312108030069829/

[dusk veldt]

Theres a shape, almost looks like a dragon at 1:00 it appears several times

[sour needle]

I dont know if it was already brought up but on 0:09 i a glitch and some text i cant read

[solid jay]

you need to rank up first by participating in conversations

[upper sonnet]

This balloon in SG registers hits.

[dusk veldt]

Ive seen it 4 times by now🤔

[distant bear]

Yo that might be something

[upper sonnet]

its on the end of the map that has that flat area with the containers next to the fountain

i threw a nade at it

nothing

Maybe medium can zipline on it?

If someone wants to link this in 3 days thread that would be cool

[broken loom]

mount everest ain't got shit on EE

[hollow briar]

Anybody know why the warning sticker on the front of the generator in the practice range (park) is mirrored? The one on the back is normal

[sour needle]

It seems that the audience is not there any more

[distant bear]

Anyone wanna link up to look for stuff in the ltm?

[dusk veldt]

1:17, the gun charm is showing random symbols and text

[quaint wing]

Are you talking about the blue finals one, the duck, or the flamingo?

[upper sonnet]

blue finals one, you see the bullet impacts and the dust flying off, the other balloons dont do that, there may be others that I havent found yet.

[sour needle]

on 0:33 the text in the sky says CNS with Louf

does anyone know what louf is

[undone saddle]

Is the hacker playstyle a new class???

[bright ruin]

Gadgets

[sharp flame]

and ability!

[dusk veldt]

Does the game have a new sponsor, towards the end bottom left

[sour needle]

Theres also a building called Library_Test_01

on 0:34

[sour needle]

It means love

[bright ruin]

There's a lot of "CNS With Love" sprinkled around

[dusk veldt]

Yeah they sat that alot

Its just a trailer thing

[fallen jasper]

That's the TV charm from the betas

[slim reef]

Maybe something can be triggered or unlocked with using a love emote or something 🤔

[dusk veldt]

I think either embark forgot to remove a fps counter or the numbers 80 and 83 are relevant, because its very legible

[sour needle]

You mean vaiiya?

[fresh quiver]

from embark err sorry i mean CNS, with love

[quaint wing]

Posted in the thread for you

[dusk veldt]

0:46 seems really interesting, the numbers and letters

[sour needle]

I see only 2 and 0

[dusk veldt]

Theres many, W, Q among others

[sour needle]

yeah i confuse a Q with 0

I think also Z

and Y

and 7 or 1

[bright ruin]

Wait did you guys take notice of the Dematerializer forming a diamond?

[velvet narwhal]

that's probably just how those walls would break apart

[bright ruin]

You think the ceilings would be diamonds? Sorry, not 100% following

I should mention that the next shot is a square in the wall that's cut out

[green turtle]

Looks just like a polygon resembling a diamond

[snow sapphire]

the ultra rares are behind the hacks!!??!?

[bright ruin]

All diamonds (shapes) are polygons

So it'd check out

[slate junco]

That's the Socialites

[snow sapphire]

oops

u right

[bright ruin]

No, these are teammates. Not associated with CNS

Diamond more of pointing to our diamond clues. Potentially a nod that we'll be needing that gadget/ability to find one?

[snow sapphire]

twas a joke

[dusk veldt]

Is there a thread for the 3 day thing?

[green turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1216788595373899877

[prisma dew]

Is CNS part of embark studios ( Finals ) or not?

[solid jay]

we try not to do too much of that here lol

[bright ruin]

Depends on what you're asking

CNS is obviously under Embark as it's just them doing in-game lore stuff

However lore wise, yes & no. There's a suspected "insider" from CNS at Embark/THE FINALS (maybe multiple)

[fresh quiver]

So JoakimS has Infos about CNS? 🤔

[crimson pewter]

I saw this in maps so probably

[hasty anvil]

Just had an idea, release date for season 2 is 3.14. March 14th, or Pi

[balmy shuttle]

Interesting…

[supple thicket]

🤔 "With Love".... is that a James Bond reference? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Russia_with_Love_(film)

[dusk veldt]

If you shoot the glitch cluster then run into it with heavy smash and tun thing the entire screen goes white for a sec

[marble lance]

in answer to #🌍┇maps message

[fresh quiver]

No. In maps it’s mostly says S Lies. Where u read JoakimS?

Maybe we will find the monkey on day 1

[dawn coral]

gravity cube that monkey outa the bushes lol

[valid pike]

Agreed

[daring bluff]

Joakim is the lead environment artist and leads the maps team

[dusk veldt]

Im more worried about the exclusive easter egg thats soon to be gone…

[prisma dew]

Yeah

[unkempt dune]

has anyone seen a bug like this before?

[distant bear]

Yo sorry is there like a lfg channel for specifically ee-hunting? I'd like to team up if someone is up for it

[valid lichen]

Do I hunt for ee or do I grind for gold rank🤔🤔🤔

[acoustic canyon]

egg

[hushed beacon]

go gold now we got 2 days 😭

[valid lichen]

🤨

im so close to gold but even with all this grinding idk if i can do it

lmao

off topic mb

[ionic orbit]

Where’s @solar glade when we need him, he should be in here ripping apart the trailer right now

[main fable]

pug with a hat shown in the trailer

[dusk veldt]

About the fact that the new map is just a disfigured location, could it be a real life location? Maybe like japan or something idk

[ionic orbit]

On the website they do talk about it being a glitch in the loading area or something along those lines so it’s just a bunch of data slapped together by CNS I don’t think it’s any specific place

[undone saddle]

Ok well now that we got this update, what did CNS mean by “seek the truth outside the walls”
From the looks of it they just kept us in the walls and added changes to the game.

[iron wedge]

its probably is japan but cns messed up the loading and now I see a building from las vegas maybe so its probably gonna be a mix of some arenas like skyway

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message

[dusk veldt]

Im guessing that they want us to live free, outside of their control

[ionic orbit]

Still kinda think beyond the walls was a the S lies note hidden behind a wall. However it could be in reference to this new map as it’s technically not where the arenas are as it takes place somewhere completely different

[iron wedge]

well, we have a hability able to pierce literall walls thanks to cns

[dusk veldt]

Leave Multico(i think is the owner) be a rebel and experience freedom and all that

Basically Anonymous

[slim reef]

Some of the numbers in the trailer are outside this scope, but some are not. Just something worth considering with some people thinking we may get a Japanese location.

"Japan extends from 20° to 45° north latitude (Okinotorishima to Benten-jima) and from 122° to 153° east longitude "

[fallen jasper]

does someone still have the file from this torrent?

[bleak wharf]

so new map have only version hacked by CNS? No irl buildings n stuff?

[gloomy anvil]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Hsg7a8gg8Kh8oUN6JGucr2-tauD-5s_N

[iron wedge]

seems like irl corrupted buildings mixed with some other from previous maps

[slim reef]

Maybe CNS makes a custom arena that they inject Into the gameshow "without permission"

[iron wedge]

they tell us to have fun, maybe they are sending a message to the developers by giving us "hacking" tools in the arena

[fallen jasper]

With access to assets and source files, CNS has introduced its own Arena, SYS$HORIZON. This glitchy, neon-filled cityscape exists in the loading realm of the game show and features a mix of vertical and horizontal gameplay. Voxel bridges create pathways between buildings, and pieces of floating, glitched geometry allow contestants to parkour through the arena. Partially loaded and out-of-place, SYS$HORIZON is a sight to behold, especially at night.

[slim reef]

Missed that lmao

[sacred spear]

Funny enough i still haven’t received my CB2 permanent rewards lol

[ionic orbit]

That’s what I was referring to thanks community manager 🫡

[iron wedge]

or they gave it to us so we are the ones doing their work for them

[fallen jasper]

[slim reef]

We are but pawns in their battle

[iron wedge]

but even pawns are valuable assets

[bleak wharf]

still hoping for a tokyo map in the future 🙏

[quaint stream]

Really interesting you can shoot buttons. I wonder what else we can shoot to activate

[ebon heron]

We finals get customize matches rob heard us 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 ty Ty rob

And the other devs

[hushed beacon]

im excited for that

we can do ee hunting in peace

[iron wedge]

rob knows us so well, he probably made some EE gets dissabled only on private matches

[ebon heron]

Fr

[bright ruin]

Let me in your custom match, I can make it not peaceful

[ebon heron]

We’ll probably get faster or he’ll make it harder

[iron wedge]

exactly

and talking about private matches, it seems like a gift from cns

[ebon heron]

Yeah

Ngl this game is sooooo good

[iron wedge]

probably they gave it to us so we can find their messages more easily

[ebon heron]

Yeah btw the three headed monkey should be easier to find

[bright ruin]

Have we had VAIIYA as a sponsor before/yet?

I see they're this season's

[bleak wharf]

nope

[dusk veldt]

Idk but they changed their sponsor

[ebon heron]

If I remember correctly it gets bigger with each season

[bright ruin]

The interesting thing with VAIIYA I've always noticed, is just how almost symmetrical (mirrored) it is

[iron wedge]

I dont think is a literal monkey, we where told once that we wont find it if we search for it (I cant recall properly the exact words)

[ionic orbit]

If you go the practice range and look on the left side each season says it’s sponsor

[bright ruin]

If the Y was an A or A was a Y, it'd be a palindrome anagram?

[hushed beacon]

if you can beat me that is 😈

[iron wedge]

or atleast it isn't easy to find until we do something first

[fresh quiver]

when rob says there is a three-headed monkey on the map. Then there probably is a three-headed monkey on this map.

[ebon heron]

Hmmm but recall that it gets bigger either way each season idk

Yeah that’s Rob too

[lost orbit]

Anyone noticed Monaco has more rows for spectators in the S2 trailer ? It's now double like on Skyway Stadium

[dusk veldt]

Didnt Rob say that there were more graffiti to be found?

[velvet narwhal]

it's a reference to the three headed monkey from Monkey Island. So it's probably gonna look like a three headed monkey from Monkey Island

[ebon heron]

Fr?

[hushed beacon]

nah he said theres a three headed monkey on monoco and first to find it gets a "the finals" mouse pad

[velvet narwhal]

We have found 2/5 on monaco

[ebon heron]

Well customized matches here we come 🙏🙏

[iron wedge]

rn my guess to the monkey is that we have to activate it, we cant see it if we search for it which probably means we have to make him come out somehow

[ionic orbit]

We been looking for it for like a month now I have zero guess as to where it is, it’s probably multi step to get it though

[ebon heron]

We can probably stack the whole lobby and have 9-12 people searching 😧😧😧😧

[dusk veldt]

I still think the cannons have something to do with it

[fresh quiver]

what has the grafitti to do with the three-headed monkey? different things

[fresh quiver]

yes

[dusk veldt]

Thought of the wrong thing, its late apologise

[iron wedge]

btw, a month ago when I was highly active here me and another hunter went to search for the monkey, we did a theory that the fountains probably had something to do since the heads on the top look like monkeys, but we didnt dig out more after that

[hushed beacon]

probably just like getting the megalodon in bf4

[ionic orbit]

They are ex battlefield devs

[hushed beacon]

i mean rob made that easter egg so i wouldnt put it past me

[iron wedge]

oh wait

[worn flame]

I noticed that the other day, but was investigating something else while i saw it.

[ionic orbit]

He does like water… wait Monaco has water…. 💡

[marble lance]

interesting

[iron wedge]

the cannons, they are pirate cannons and the monkey is a reference to a pirate game

[hushed beacon]

see now we're getting somewhere

ive always wondered why we could the cannons

maybe shooting all of them does something?

[dusk veldt]

I think we had a map of how they overlapped

[fresh quiver]

map of the canons and directions
#1216367110197084220 message

[dusk veldt]

Would you look at that

[velvet narwhal]

Rob made it once possible to be able to see the monkey on every map for 2 hours. So you probably don't need any object

[iron wedge]

I think another team tried it before I went inactive

[fresh quiver]

it might be event triggered

But Event can be anything. Specific days, specific nights, specific dates, moon phases, if its raining in sweden etc etc. thats all possible

[hushed beacon]

i see 🧐

ex battlefield devs are too good at what they do 😭

[iron wedge]

rn our only clue is that we wont find it if we look for it

but it is a tangible object, is a literal monkey

so it aims at is probably an EE we need to activate somehow

[ionic orbit]

Say there wouldn’t happen to be an island off the coast of Monaco would there? Maybe a….. monkey island?

[alpine junco]

doo do doo dod odododo dodo do doo

[velvet narwhal]

tangible means you can touch it. The monkey could also just be a sprite

[dusk veldt]

Just found this line on the wiki very interesting: ”In a remix of Johannes Bjerregaard C64 SID tune, the swedish group Visa Röster mentioned a dream, like ”.. waking up, searching for a three headed monkey”

[iron wedge]

good point

[hushed beacon]

that seems the most reasonable answer

[fresh quiver]

[alpine junco]

the music in smoking guns

cafe

[iron wedge]

if its a Sprite it could be as small as the WB

[fresh quiver]

and i read that as battlefield soundtrack haha

[ionic orbit]

The quote does go “LOOK behind you, a three headed monkey”

[dusk veldt]

so you just gotta spin around very very fast

[ionic orbit]

Exactly

[dusk veldt]

[ionic orbit]

What are the odds it’s just in the stands and we have to find it with the sniper scope

[hushed beacon]

its always watching but you never see it

[iron wedge]

or maybe it appears at the victory screen behind our character

[ionic orbit]

Hence the stands… wait a minute that might actually be something

[dusk veldt]

It kinda feels creppy knowing that a three headed monkey appears somewhere looking at us without us knowing

[hushed beacon]

yes LIKE THIS!

[iron wedge]

theres a way we can see our reflection somewhere?

[ionic orbit]

Get this man a finals MOUSEPAD!!!!

[ionic orbit]

Not a bad idea

[dusky elk]

ahh they listened and perhaps added a fox skin for next season

[iron wedge]

wait, it May be on a reflection

all reflection on this game are premade

[hushed beacon]

🤣 it was a good reference right

[wooden galleon]

Holding the cash box is pretty reflective

[dusk veldt]

Something interesting: he appears in monkey town if you hang around long enough

[ionic orbit]

Yup, I mean the quote I mentioned is the most famous one pertaining to the monkey so honestly it might be something along those lines

[sour needle]

Maybe do nothing whwn you spawn?

[iron wedge]

a lot of People go afk at the start of a match so it May be not it

[ionic orbit]

“The line 'Look behind you, a three headed monkey!' has appeared as a homage in a number of other LucasArts titles. E.g. in Day of the Tentacle the fused characters can say it to a purple tentacle to get the response "The only three headed monkey I see is standing in front of me." I’ll throw this out here for you guys

I don’t think reflections is the answer now that I think about it though… as players with raytracing wouldn’t ever be able to see it with reflections enabled

[sand swan]

There are some windows that show a reflection of different parts of the map even with ray tracing

[grizzled merlin]

Custom games finna make this easier

[iron wedge]

yup

[grizzled merlin]

all the things on the new map gonna be checked in an hour with the customs

[iron wedge]

we gonna need to organize giant teams so we find all of it in no time

with a server full of hunters we May find a lot of EE in a week

[dusk veldt]

So realisticaly when do we start talking about s3

[iron wedge]

in the half of season 2

the devs probably arent making plans for season 3 yet

[hushed beacon]

#1201288968562552863 message

[plucky kettle]

they have...

[hushed beacon]

we need to find whatever easter egg rob said before it goes away

[fallen jasper]

guys holtow website changed agan

[solid jay]

I guarantee you they have plans for at least year ahead of where we are now

[velvet narwhal]

it would be very bad if a studio doesn't have a plan for the next season

[gloomy anvil]

yea it's back to what it was before the season 2 countdown

[fallen jasper]

not anything new?

btw if you click on the website (just left click) it still redirects you to the season 2 trailer

[grizzled merlin]

anyone got anything from the new trailer yet?

[fallen jasper]

i noticed when the game starts being hacked there is alot of text

needs debunking

[plucky kettle]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1216778676931399823

both of you prolly should use that

[hushed beacon]

look

[iron wedge]

good point, they probably have an idea of the theme but its probably yet an idea and not 3d models or clear starts for the New stuff

[iron wedge]

so he is gonna be the "odelia" of this season (maybe)

[proven tulip]

skin looks sick asf

[plucky kettle]

of course it hasnt been finished

[hushed beacon]

i can see it

[iron wedge]

I mean, they probably hate the idea but they dont have it clear yet, this season as far as we know could have a ton of discarted ideas that didnt fit in the end

[velvet narwhal]

I think a part of Embark is already working on Season 3. The map designers for example wouldn't have anything to do except slight changes with events

or will start working on it in a few weeks

[plucky kettle]

^

[iron wedge]

good point, and the creatives probably are probably thinking about the third season already

and a part of the creatives are working on New skins ideas

[proven tulip]

The development life process is continuous. While the developers are implementing all the ideas, designers and artists are already working hard on new ideas

[iron wedge]

I Wonder whats rob cooking rn

[hushed beacon]

weapon skin

[iron wedge]

im smart enough to know thats a mathematical visualization but not smart enough to know which

[upper sonnet]

any significance to the writing on his pouch? T3:WPS76

[shrewd fog]

To create gold, 79 protons and 118 neutrons must bind together to form a single atomic nucleus.

[velvet narwhal]

It's a torus

[iron wedge]

thanks

[iron wedge]

and I Just noticed that skin looks like a counterpart of the urban operativo skin we had this whole season, even the same color scheme

I Wonder if they gonna be related lore wise

[velvet narwhal]

Tru, could be a group or brand

[iron wedge]

if it has operative on the name im gonna go for a group (or maybe even team)

if it doesnt im gonna go for the Brand option

I think the clothes have the same Brand as the urban operative I have to check that

if is the same Brand it could be a team sponsored by that brand

[proven tulip]

looks the same, but have different numbers (?)
https://imgur.com/a/Ll9mK9B

but yeah, something 401st Kilowatt

[dim silo]

@sweet void look like a donut 👀

[iron wedge]

I have a feeling that these are more importan than they look

I mean I think the urban operative has been in every season 1 trailer

and that New gonna is probably gonna be in every season 2 trailer the same way

[upper sonnet]

https://id.embark.games/images/sign-in/sign-in-bg-2x.jpg

highest quality of the embark background

[fickle holly]

Who is he

[unkempt dune]

that's the video from the website

that's the author of the video according to squarespace

[fickle holly]

At 35 seconds

[iron wedge]

seems like the suit guy with the golden mask

[bright ruin]

Name doesn't ring a bell

[fickle holly]

Was thinking silver mask. Like the guy from cns is walking around the map

[iron wedge]

Maybe, but his clothes seems like a full suit with a tie

we dont know about the skins yet so maybe we gonna get a silver versión of that outfit

[molten wave]

Guys, what if it’s all a simulation…

[bright ruin]

I can't tell if bait or a joke

[bright ruin]

This is likely nothing more than a coincidence that I found interesting

But through the buildings as they're being "loaded" on the SYS$HORIZON, you can see the lights without their flare, and they're hexagonal

Then I happend to find a picture of Johan Andersson with similar lights in the background. Just kinda curious if the lights are modeled after wherever this semi-sphere of the same lights are in the real world

Could also be a wall, but it looks like the lights start to angle, leading me toward a curved shape in Johan's picture

Curious if the lights in game have any relevance to the hexagonal theme too

[upper sonnet]

in the trailer there is a flash and there appears to be some words in the flash

I cant post an image, its at 1:22 left hand side, top of the arch.

[slate dagger]

isn't this the cns guy?

[wild sky]

oh i see what you mean

is it the first blue flash before the big white one?

[hushed beacon]

CNS “Seek the truth behind the walls” could have been teasing the new specialisation that lets you see and shoot thru walls? idk

[alpine junco]

Yup

[slim reef]

Yeah

[loud stream]

The leeked one from Reddit or another one

[west glade]

Dose anyone now anything about the new sponsor "VAIIYA"??

[calm wave]

The reddit one

[bright ruin]

Well their whole thing is "change the game" and to "seek the truth (beyond the walls)"

They're still doing it for their own gain or motive, whatever that is
But that's as much as I'll say as this is more #📕┇lore related than anything

[loud stream]

Oh

Maybe there’s something they want us to find

Cyber robbers

[bright ruin]

There's a palindrome I thought of earlier, but probably has nothing to do with T3,just a coincidence

i cant post it here but it looks like a map

like there is walls

[sweet void]

As a reminder :
I think Irvin Langmuir could be involved (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Langmuir)

• He works involves Tungsten
• this guy has won a **nobel **prize in Chemistry
• He has a Laboratory involved into clouds (**precipitations **?) => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_Laboratory_for_Atmospheric_Research
• Also linked to arc (**arcus **??) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_tungsten_arc_welding
• Tungsten is used as heat shield to enter atmospheres (space)
• Also I think we could see somthing exclusively with Tugnsten pink helmet Check the 👀 here #server-announcements message

Eye emoji in #server-announcements seems highly irrelevant/inconsistent since its used often, there's one on the T-shirt giveaway winner ex.

im not sure whats that

[acoustic canyon]

so vaiiya and ospuze are the confirmed sponsors of season 2?

[sour needle]

Its official its June /j

Good to know the lads are still malicious towards something.

[urban coyote]

So I guess this confirms the new map is Shanghai

[upper sonnet]

Shit, with love.

is that a w or an h?

[gleaming crescent]

Tweaked the curves a bit, but heres inverted.

[tranquil barn]

Still cleavage.

[supple thicket]

Definitely looks like a bikini top

[stoic kiln]

if this is following the idea of game development

This map look like on polishing stage, meaning it adding the model for testing but not the full built one. Basically right after block meshing.

Meaning
A: It was unfinished map by the Finals but got hijacked.
B: It was Deleted file so it had only old data of the map that was unfinished
C: It was the data that the CNS gathered and mad it by themself
D: Embark wanted easy way to make map XD

Personally I think it "C" Because the trees and building and vents look like object from other maps.

This CNS is trying to make there own game like in real life world where some small indie compony stealing models and assets from the bigger games. This just idea thou

[tranquil barn]

🙌 🥺

[gloomy anvil]

security tama really likes to fly under the radar

[bright ruin]

CNS made it themselves

[stoic kiln]

yea then C was right OwO

[bright ruin]

With access to assets and source files, CNS has introduced its own Arena, SYS$HORIZON. This glitchy, neon-filled cityscape exists in the loading realm of the game show and features a mix of vertical and horizontal gameplay. Voxel bridges create pathways between buildings, and pieces of floating, glitched geometry allow contestants to parkour through the arena. Partially loaded and out-of-place, SYS$HORIZON is a sight to behold, especially at night.

SYS$HORIZON exists during the "loading" of THE FINALS. This is why you see in the trailer all the buildings and such being constructed as the match progresses, they're loading in

[tranquil barn]

lol

[wise trout]

Oh that's sick someone stitch them together

[tranquil barn]

[slender lodge]

Hi, I'm new, maybe this has been done already 🤷‍♂️
Would extracting all frames from the trailer and adding to Google Drive or smth be useful in here?
Not sure if it's allowed though.
Seems it's allowed, judging by the post history in here.
