easter-eggs

[hasty anvil]

No, it's just the billboards that make that noise, very easy to get to

[balmy shuttle]

I think it’s also in the museum there’s something similar.

[bright ruin]

Ah I thought you meant it was just randomly elsewhere. If it's from billboards, it's most likely just glitchy "advertisements"

Might dissect it at some point later

[fallow radish]

Is it worth setting up a 6 person private lobby on the new map to explore quietly so we don't disturb normal queue?

[bright ruin]

Could be

[fallow radish]

The origin of the sound is definitely not the CNS billboard I shoot at the start of the clip, it's very clearly below there

[bright ruin]

If you can get a "clean recording of it" (i.e. no other sfx or music going on) I can dissect it

[bright ruin]

That could just be where the audio emitter is placed in engine

[hasty anvil]

Some people are in VC 9 looking for EE's I think @dull marsh

[fallow radish]

I'll see what I can find in future games! It doesn't look like the private match UI lets you pick the map you're playing on

[bright ruin]

Not yet sadly, but in the future for sure!

[fallow radish]

Is there a way to more permanently store this clip? Streamable is only 2 days unfortunately

[bright ruin]

Does streamable let you download?

I mean other users, like could I download it

[fallow radish]

idk! You check :)

[bright ruin]

I've never used this before, please hold

[fallow radish]

link here 😙

[bright ruin]

Not seeing a way. You could upload it as a private YT video and share that here?

[fallow radish]

I'm gonna grab some more clips (hopefully with isolated audio, I'll zero out other audio channels to help)

I'm back in the same spot in a new match and there's none of that audio playing in that same spot

I'm gonna keep looking

I found another spot in the map that's producing the same distored audio - capturing clips now

clip 1 https://streamable.com/u2zysb

clip 2 https://streamable.com/i5c707

[fallow radish]

Actually, now that it's later in the match, when I go back, the sounds are back, getting another clip

Same sound, with less SFX in the same spot: https://streamable.com/1ld2i1

[alpine junco]

this is a repeating pattern

[fallow radish]

Last one for now, this is the clearest I could hear it with the fewest other sounds: https://streamable.com/dqtvgc

[upper sonnet]

Could this be binary from pitch modulation?

[dull marsh]

That's not just an A, it looks like Å (Ångstrom)

[cerulean dagger]

Would you mind expanding on that?

[dull marsh]

The A on this image looks like Angstrom symbol which has been mentionned multiple time in this EE hunt

[alpine junco]

is it this?

[upper sonnet]

None of those letters are traditional letters though.

well the P is

[bright ruin]

That's double lines, the image has single. More likely to be closer to 197

I though it could have been double lines but some of them in the repeating pattern, the shorter line, is too thin to be double

[upper sonnet]

Yea i agree with 197

128 is supposed to be euros.

[alpine junco]

@ = 64
P = 80
. = 46
€ = 128
Å = 197

[upper sonnet]

but the cross is also 197... something fucky here.

wait the cross isnt ascii is it?

[bright ruin]

Extended ASCII

[upper sonnet]

its alt code?

Well then what number is it in extended ascii?

[bright ruin]

197 lol what are you asking

Å is 143

[velvet narwhal]

the dot could also be 183

[bright ruin]

What ascii table are you looking at btw

[velvet narwhal]

extended

[bright ruin]

. on extended is like 249(?) (it's tiny)

[upper sonnet]

https://www.ascii-code.com/

[bright ruin]

. on normal is 46

Two different sized dots though, 46 being bigger

[alpine junco]

period could also be 46

[upper sonnet]

could be a comma or an apostrophe

[alpine junco]

i was thinking apostrophe

[bright ruin]

Yeah it kinda has a curve/slant to it

[alpine junco]

comma has a curve

[upper sonnet]

also tiny dot above the euro

[alpine junco]

it might be from the effects

that are also in the image

[upper sonnet]

its on every single one though

[alpine junco]

hmmm

[bright ruin]

` is 96 btw

[alpine junco]

ok then we can have 3combos

[bright ruin]

I can't even find euro on the table for some reason

[alpine junco]

, . €
. €
, €

[median cosmos]

F

[shadow lantern]

did someone notice that scotty voice lines and the tone voice seems less "happy"?

[alpine junco]

but i think the dot above the € is just part of the glitch

[upper sonnet]

these dont repeat though so its definitely a part of it, just dont know if itentional. and it is very small so can likely be disregarded

[bright ruin]

Everything else is separated though but a good bit, that tiny dot or whatever is too close to be it's own character if it is one

[alpine junco]

i'll take a clip next time i get the map

but the patterns shifts like 3 frames

so

[alpine junco]

the A is 197 tho

[bright ruin]

What ascii table are you using?

[alpine junco]

https://www.ascii-code.com/

[bright ruin]

Why's there so many different ascii tables, i'm confused

Why's this ascii table different? https://www.asciitable.com

[alpine junco]

https://www.commfront.com/pages/ascii-chart#:~:text=Standard ASCII codes range from,printable%2C they are assigned for

i think this one is better

[bright ruin]

Okay, so if we use that, the cross belongs to 197
Å is 143

Still not seeing a euro sign though, does that not exist in Ascii or?

[upper sonnet]

I dont understand how there is a discrepancy, all of them should show the same but now there are 2 that have cross as 197 so we will go with that.

its 128 the C

you know what

[bright ruin]

yeah Idk either, it's super confusing lol

[upper sonnet]

Im gunna write a letter to Mr. Ascii and find out whats up

[bright ruin]

that's not euro is it??

[upper sonnet]

no it isnt

[alpine junco]

@ = 64
P = 80
. = 46
€ = 128
Å = 143
cross = 197
, = 44

[alpine junco]

it is

[upper sonnet]

not on the table just linked

[bright ruin]

Why does it lack the double lines?

oh

[upper sonnet]

and it has a sack.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/character-set-128255

MS has 197 as A

[hidden nacelle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1bfp8h0/has_anyone_heard_this_weird_distorted_audio_clip/ has anyone heard this?

[alpine junco]

yeah

theres also something in the intro

[bright ruin]

#easter-eggs message

[upper sonnet]

the op is here.

[bright ruin]

yeah

[alpine junco]

@shrewd fog

wait

i think it is a comma AND a dot

[alpine junco]

i agree

[upper sonnet]

So you think it is relevant then?

[alpine junco]

i think it is becuz someone posted the numbers on the dummy head

and it was 20 digits

64, 80, 46, 128, 143, 197 is 16 digits

but an extra 2 wouldnt make much of a dent in decoding it would it?

it would be base 16 so hexa

[upper sonnet]

so what would the thing above the euro be? its super small and its not centered.

[alpine junco]

id say it's an outlier for now

imma go in a game and see if i get a better ss

[upper sonnet]

you have nvidia?

I think there is a way to use the overlay to screenshot at like 8k.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/gfecnt/ansel-revolutionizing-game-screenshots/

ah damn the games have to support it.

you can prolly manually set your engine.ini to go to 8k

[turbid tinsel]

looks like were trying to spell aesope or what not

[bright ruin]

How dare you come in here with logical thinking

I totally buy that, without the S, I was stumped, but that's a good guess

[upper sonnet]

%localappdata%\Discovery\Saved\Config\WindowsClient and set resolitionsizx and resolutionsizey 7,680 x 4,320

[alpine junco]

yup

[alpine junco]

i think 4k is max for me

[upper sonnet]

thats why you modify it in the settings

sorry, settings file*

[solid jay]

This is immediately what I thought Aesop

[alpine junco]

what about taking the first letter of each ASCII

[upper sonnet]

wdym?

Euro would be E and cross would be C

[alpine junco]

Yes

whats weird is tryiong to google ascii cross it leads to this

[upper sonnet]

Ampersat P Apostrophe Euro Cross Aring?

APAECA

interesting indeed

xmark(s) the spot.

when you click into that is it the right symbol?

[alpine junco]

nope

[alpine junco]

aring?

[upper sonnet]

red herring

[hard forge]

Good luck fellas.

[upper sonnet]

it likely is called something different tbh

i just dont know

it was the only one i looked at the website for

[alpine junco]

ah

[upper sonnet]

yea, @ is listed as at sign and not ampersat so this doesnt have the actual names of symbols

[solid jay]

Just a thought about gold and egg.

On satellites gold would be used as a refractive coating to protect instruments and would therefore be considered a shell. Which is the opposite of how you would perceive an eggshell with the golden yolk on the inside.

[alpine junco]

wait

rob did post an emabrk logo with a bag of white rabbit candy in the letter a

🤔

nahhhhh

@ = a sign

embark sign

[turbid tinsel]

see i always thought the white part of ques and tion was more like sand

and was wondering how to make ampersand or however it works the password

[alpine junco]

more symbols

[upper sonnet]

wut?

[solid jay]

Have we tried the numbers for the alt code lol?

[upper sonnet]

Pipe Hyphen Box and this thing ☥

[solid jay]

Maybe try combining them

Look for other spots too I guess

[upper sonnet]

34 67 9: <=>

[alpine junco]

it seems each buildng has their own code

[solid jay]

That is an ahnk

Egyptian cross

[upper sonnet]

ahhhnk i see

ill be here all day

[solid jay]

That's interesting

[alpine junco]

or each room is its own code

better be worth it xd

it might be the same code thats on the computer if im being honest

werent those measurements on las vegas?

[solid jay]

CNS doing some quick maths?

😂

[hasty anvil]

I just wanna know what our next step should be for this tier 🥲

[alpine junco]

we have all we need

as rob has said

and we have maybe 60 clues found

[solid jay]

Asking smashel to just input the password obviously

[bright ruin]

Wild question, were turtles ever relevant in the hunt for T3 password?

[hasty anvil]

Yeah so idk if it's connecting those clues somehow, I don't think we'll find much more

[alpine junco]

oh there is

[dusk veldt]

Send it if you dont mind, ill ID the candy, if its still relevant

[solid jay]

We already have this info lol

Use discord search to find it

[dusk veldt]

Nah i meant if it was relevant for the EE, might be a fake brand or a real one thats popular, I live here so idk i thought maybe it would be useful.

[alpine junco]

#1197268508623515849 message

the candy is called white rabbit

yummy yummy candy

[dusk veldt]

Did you grab a picture from the other colored rooms?(Pink, lilac, purple so on)

[alpine junco]

no becuz my teammate was teamkilling me

and chasing me

[dusk veldt]

Happens to me aswell, gas right?😭

[hard forge]

is there a green room?

[alpine junco]

and pyro

and canisters

[dusk veldt]

Yep

Well its kinda pastel green but yeah

[hard forge]

blue green yellow red
amiga? arc?

[dusk veldt]

I think all colores that are present are featured in the big rainbow tower

[balmy shuttle]

C64s logo as well

[dusk veldt]

@alpine junco is there a clear start and stop for the pattern? Where the ”things” appear and stop appearing or where they start mirroring each other

[bright ruin]

Depends on the order of colors

[alpine junco]

it has 2 or 3 different patterns

[hard forge]

color codes could be useful too

[alpine junco]

im pretty sure the map is RGBCMYK

[gloomy anvil]

looks like the back of the Collision Coat has a serial number on it

[dusk veldt]

Also, i guess this might be more lore but potential EE lead? They have apparently changed in game sponsors, there is a new one in the left bottom corner. Just throwing that out there

Imma get in game, found some interesting stuff, ill grab some pics of the lights if i can @alpine junco

[dusk veldt]

We should probably ask Rob asap, but hes just prob gonna say ”you have everything you need” 😭

[hard forge]

Throwing it out here,
For T3 I think we should go through CNS leaks again. And Rob did hide hints in last season 1 patch exclusively for T3.

We have to use those and what we have on the T3 padlet, and other level 2 clues to find a pattern and connect dots

[dusk veldt]

Adding to this, the glitches are still here? The EE around them are gone though, so might still be useful or they just didnt bother removing them. Also i wonder if the Loading screen in S1 might have any leads, since Rob did tell us about this but i havent seen anybody look for it really

[hard forge]

As season 2 is out, I hope we can differentiate between season 2 clues and T3 clues if we revisit them.

[limpid yarrow]

it does seem t3 is slowly fading away am tho

[normal raptor]

if u guys wanna explore new map join my custon game PHW2

[hard forge]

I am pretty sure we are also getting Level 3 clues (hunch). So the sooner we solve T3, the better it will be for the future.

[hasty anvil]

It's hard to tell between T3 clues and future clues

[hard forge]

It's very late for me. I hope others join you.

[dusk veldt]

100%, New map is probably riddled with them. Next in game mode and map change will be a nightmare

[limpid yarrow]

welp i just joined the a game

i feel like rob expected us to have solved t3 before s2 was released i feel like we were close a while ago but have strayed from that

[fallow radish]

need 1 more to start a custom lobby to explore the new map!

[solid jay]

Yeah but it's not fading away. It's the whole reason we are here lol

[limpid yarrow]

the more new ees and stuff that come out the more attention is devided amongest them

[hasty anvil]

He wanted us to solve it by summer last year haha

[dusk veldt]

41111 is definently a clue for something else?

[limpid yarrow]

but anyways was not to start an argument

[solid jay]

T3 and the main EE hunt are always the forefront and foundation of what we are doing here

Not trying to argue either

[dusk veldt]

He probably thought it would be solved by now, the new map is riddled with hints for new hunts

[solid jay]

I'm just saying it is the primary objective

[limpid yarrow]

tbf monico had a ee with the cannons we missed before 8 or so hours before it was removed

[hard forge]

Correct me if I am wrong or imagining stuff. Didn't he say there is nothing T3 related in the new map?

[dusk veldt]

In this thread or? I cant recall

But i wouldnt really doubt that, i think this map is mostly next hunts

[solid jay]

I believe he just said there will be a few more hints added in S2 I don't think he specified anything

[dusk veldt]

The new map will probably have some exclusive hunts like the cannon i think, i mean he had 2 of them last season

I wonder how many people accidentally did the EE and now have the rarest item in the game(the charm)

[bright ruin]

Doubtful

If it was truly Rob's hardest EE to date

[limpid yarrow]

rob said it was a hard one

[dusk veldt]

True, but one can dream

[solid jay]

I'd imagine it would trigger something on Embarks end as well

[hard moss]

Yeah he said we already have everything we need

[dusk veldt]

Doesnt mean there are more hints though no? Just means that what we have is sufficient

[solid jay]

Ya but that's not to say there isn't other things. It's just that we should be able to do this without anything else.

[dusk veldt]

Did we ever find the connection between the City Lancer and T3

[bright ruin]

Is there supposed to be one?

[dusk veldt]

”T3:WPS76”

[limpid yarrow]

did the server die?

[solid jay]

Nah it can be slightly different to avoid that stuff

I wonder what CES 60/40 might be?

[tepid yarrow]

Did y’all even solve the hot low sticker hunt

I dipped around then

And I’m curious about what happened

[dusk veldt]

What might the graphic text mean, i thought it was the new sponsor but realized quick that im stupid so idk

Also, the WPS76 to me seems like coordinates

[solid jay]

Discord search feature exists.

[tepid yarrow]

I can’t find the channel

[dusk veldt]

Oh, it says IVADA

[limpid yarrow]

its a thread

[tepid yarrow]

That’s what I mean

[solid jay]

Or vaiiya which is the new sponsor

[bright ruin]

It's not vaiiya

that was established lol

[dusk veldt]

Thought that too, but the new gun skin says IVADA

So yeah, matches

[bright ruin]

Similar style font though, so perhaps a sister company?

Vaiiya is one of the various sponsors of THE FINALS. In the Season 2, they were introduced as the official sponsors of the season.

[balmy shuttle]

guys

i think the art has changed in the new map

is this new?

[bright ruin]

That's been there

[dusk veldt]

How would it change without a update?

[hasty anvil]

Idk maybe it was always in the files

i've never noticed it before

there's also a half eaten apple inside a square which i never noticed

maybe i havent explored the map enough yet lol

I don't think that's confirmation

[dusk veldt]

What about IVADA

[balmy shuttle]

Yea he does the wiki to so guess he’s lying lol

[dusk veldt]

[azure bramble]

is there easter eggs on the new map?

[solid jay]

He just mentions that they were maybe brought in because of CNS

[bright ruin]

DKZ who is on the clothing with IVADA does have info though https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/DXZ

That's where I got WH-PkZH from for that limage I linked back to

The brand DXZ is one of the various sponsors in THE FINALS. Their product is a Variable Pressure Device, as represented by their logo. Their logo only appears on one cosmetic in-game so far, with the label: WH-PkZH | Variable Pressure Device.

[dusk veldt]

Barcode lead nowhere for me

[balmy shuttle]

Yea and it’s all on the wiki and was in the intro to season 2 it’s known they are a cyber security firm from a lore standpoint which is why I pointed it out to you.

[bright ruin]

A link to the info would have sufficed. All he asked for is a source

Like I linked the wiki

[balmy shuttle]

That I should have done next time I’ll do that. Most time people ask for links to mentions and that so again sorry for that one.

[limpid yarrow]

could it be that goldenegg in latin could be anagarmed into something else or has that already been tryed

[alpine junco]

u can read this but it's annoying to decode

[solid jay]

Just remember generally no one here is hostile. I just want facts lol 😂

[dusk veldt]

It might have some meaning, im just to lazy, its very late so yeah

[alpine junco]

i can try real quick

[solid jay]

We've def tried stuff like this.

[dusk veldt]

I just used some digital ones online, most didnt give a result, one gave ”i1” on a certain portition but didnt reg the rest so idk

[alpine junco]

nah

theres different codes

i did a whole thing in #1199692820454322306

[dusk veldt]

Wow you really did a thing, but this lead nowhere i guess:(

[alpine junco]

the holtow one was so hard to read

this one isnt

[dusk veldt]

What about the time(?) on the shoes

[alpine junco]

01:13:14

[unkempt dune]

that is weird, because typically the time is 00:00:00

[alpine junco]

isnt that ur time?

a lot of items show ur time

[dusk veldt]

Oh shit it might be? But how often does it update?

[bright ruin]

In real time

lol

it's your time

[alpine junco]

[dusk veldt]

Nope it isnt

or so

[dusk veldt]

So the shoe number has significance

[alpine junco]

it's my best at decoding it

which then gets broken up as
2232

2222
2123

Just found a big lead, Euclid's elements and hexagons are connected
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/elements/bookIV/propIV15.html#:~:text=But equal angles stand on,and FA equal one another.&text=And straight lines that cut,the hexagon ABCDEF is equilateral.
He lists each corner of a hexagon ABCDEF, and center point G. We have passwords ABCDEF and we have G

Maybe our hexagaon clue was to think of each password as a corner of a hexagon, and work out what lies in the middle

How are waves connected to tier 2, and how can we get the sum of them...

They're separate. Separate numbers per side

are we dealing with an isotropic radiator?

I wrote off my theory so early on cuz I was new here, but I may have been right from the start. Damn it

[unborn pilot]

np. just need to solve the last one. you can click each of the old ones to see the "main clue" image. the last two we have to work off of are the two ?s

[bright ruin]

Have you guys discussed lambert's law?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_cosine_law

[unborn pilot]

can't recall, but check the search and see if anyone's said anyting.

[bright ruin]

In optics, an isotropic radiator is a point source of light. The Sun approximates an (incoherent) isotropic radiator of light. Certain munitions such as flares and chaff have isotropic radiator properties. Whether a radiator is isotropic is independent of whether it obeys Lambert's law. As radiators, a spherical black body is both, a flat black body is Lambertian but not isotropic, a flat chrome sheet is neither, and by symmetry the Sun is isotropic, but not Lambertian on account of limb darkening.

[bright ruin]

I see mentions of Andre Lambert but no lambert law

[solid jay]

Could be thay we had the wrong Lambert

[bright ruin]

Or you did, and Andre wasn't the important name to focus on

I don't believe Lambert's Cosine Law is named after anyone in particulat, but I haven't found info to support or deny that

nvm found it lmao

Johann Heinrich Lambert

[solid jay]

Ya was going to say 😂

So the Lambert we had linked to Einstein

[bright ruin]

Lambertian reflectance is defined as that property of substances due to which they appear equally bright from any angle (this is referring to light/optics vs Sound which lead me here)

Reflection huh

For the record, he was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and philospher

Checks off a lot of what we're looking for

Foreshadowed the discovery of non-Euclidean spaces.

holy shit is that a reference to the waves?

[solid jay]

This is where we got Andre Lambert

[bright ruin]

close and far, that's literally a wave. You're close at the reference line, far when you're extended at either amplitude

[solid jay]

Yeah it made me think about orbits initially but could be waves for sure.

[dull marsh]

It kinda looks like there are 8 "rings" in the background

I'm unable to join the VC, is that because I'm not involved enough with the server yet? (I suspect that's why)

[turbid tinsel]

[fallow radish]

cool, I'm in - I'm Flannel on steam OSHA-Violator on embark

[bright ruin]

Hmm but burrw is oval, which relatively implies it's not coming from a point source(not guaranteed that this is accurate)
So it's possible we're dealing with a dipole, that's the only way to get the shape we say in the game, as isotropic radiators are spherical. Also isotropic antennas don't exist. so it's possible we should be focusing on dipoles instead

[solid jay]

Dipoles have been discussed previously I believe.

Ya about a month ago

[bright ruin]

right the red-blue pixel... dipole magnet

Planets are dipoles

I have 6 other clips of this happening in different games at this spot and at one other

[hasty anvil]

I think it's June and Scotty talking

[fallow radish]

behind green, same sound effect

there's definitely more than 1 sound file playing

[hasty anvil]

June said 'What's the deal...' which is from an old clip

[fallow radish]

Also the water we can see from up here has a lot of waves in it

[bright ruin]

It is retrowave, pretty common aesthetic to have waves in water

[bright ruin]

[fallow radish]

you can hear these sound effects from like 20m away, but you can get pretty close to the source emitters to get clear sounds

[hasty anvil]

I just mean from what i heard, don't have a clip

in the same game lol

[bright ruin]

There's too much vocal processing going on to make out anything unfortunately

[fallow radish]

both of the clips are near big CNS banners too

Poynting vector?

[hasty anvil]

found another moving glitch effect here

the pink one changes, like the other maps

[fallow radish]

why are some of the ladders highlighted in pink? Is that anything or just stylistic to make the parkour elements stand out?

[hasty anvil]

In the orange server room, it seems quite hidden and out of place, very easy and clear to get the glitch frames

some frames look a little qr code like by the necessary squares you need, but not sure

[unborn pilot]

yeah someone else said that too. it might be showing that particualr section one at a time

i got videos of all the rooms. so far looks like there's a code on X & Y axis in each room

[hasty anvil]

Yeah just found it in the thread lol

Maybe combine X+Y

From @dim totem weird square effects

hey, check this out! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belphegor's_prime

The palindromic prime 1000000000000066600000000000001 is known as Belphegor's Prime, named after Belphegor, one of the seven princes of Hell. Belphegor's Prime consists of the number 666, on either side enclosed by thirteen zeroes and a one

[gloomy anvil]

that's because we still haven't confirmed any T3 clues in those images 🥲

[hasty anvil]

mirrored pi symbol :0

[bright ruin]

how relevant has 3 been in our search besides tier "3"

[hasty anvil]

e=3 and iii for caco3 so quite big

[bright ruin]

ah right

Well if you +1 Belphegor's Prime, it's now divisible by 3

3.3333333e+29 is your answer

Though I guess on a technicality

it's already divisible by 3

People have pointed out the iπ + 1 = 0 text in the image though right?

I wonder if we got new Graffiti on Monaco with new update 🤔

[upper sonnet]

lol, we cant even find the ones that are already there.

[lapis moat]

just had a bit of a brain blast thinking about where to look next and realized that with all the gold, chemistry, and alchemy clues it does seem pretty shiny that the new medium gadget is essentially a transmutation spell

like using it on the roses gives you a bunch of half-buried anchored canisters, probably unintentional but it's easy to imagine it being used intentionally

[swift bluff]

with customs no way to select a map for egg hunting with freinds?

[lapis moat]

not yet but it's kinda a weird situation anyway because egg triggers are probably disabled in private matches anyway, and every map also has eggs on it to hunt for so any map should be fine

[upper sonnet]

Why would that make sense? One of the reasons private matches were rushed was so we could stop ruining peoples matches...

WR and graffiti show in private matches....

[lapis moat]

those are textures on a wall, hunt away

[dull marsh]

Not true at all, some Easter eggs are mode specific, but that's definitely not the case of the vast majority of them

You good funk?

[lapis moat]

yeah he says what I said "disabled in private matches"

I agree with rob

[bright ruin]

What

[upper sonnet]

he said most are in private, SOME are not.

[lapis moat]

I'm not trying to misquote him or start a debate here, I think that the triggers for the bigger eggs probably can't be activated in private matches right now.

there's not really a good reason to believe otherwise based on specifically that quote you sent exactly

[bright ruin]

Size isn't mentioned here

We don't know the scale of the EE that are or aren't in the private matches

[lapis moat]

See you're arguing as blind as me, show me an egg triggering in a private match

then we'll know

[upper sonnet]

its simple, what modes dont exist in private matches. those eggs are out. Tournament specific and push mode specific

[lapis moat]

otherwise I can only go from Rob's word

[bright ruin]

That's a poor rebuttle

[lapis moat]

Listen man like I said

Not trying to debate, it wasn't a rebuttle

[bright ruin]

"Show me easter eggs are in private matches"

meanwhile we just quoted Rob telling us that EE's are enabled in private matches, just not all

It's not a debate

[upper sonnet]

something in the water today @bright ruin

[lapis moat]

I agree

[solid jay]

Everyone here needs to stop. Most EE are active, some are not. It's that simple. No one is wrong or right.

[lapis moat]

the man deserves his question answered after that

yea it kinda sucks that you cant at the moment, but the good news is there are eggs on all maps so you can generally find something to do. I think skyway is the only map that we have 0 leads on the eggs.

[bright ruin]

@solid jay Curious your opinion on the proposed stuff earlier. It's probably more tied to Diamond Clue than T3, do you agree? Or do you think there's overlap, because I'm not really sure where to take that theory from here lol

[solid jay]

I'd need to dig deeper to offer anything of value.

On a surface level, if I were looking at Dipoles I would look at stars and planets. Perhaps if mirrors are involved that could suggest a polarity shift?

[bright ruin]

Fair, but also good thinking, I had not considered polarity shift. Definitely might we worth looking into

[solid jay]

someone posted something about a possible negative curve graph the other day?

we haven't exactly connected Paul Klee into all of this have we? From the civic crown nama tama image, it was easy to see how LIGO 17 and Jocelyn Bell Burnell connected: nobel prize in physics.

I'm uncertain what that's specifically showing, but had you previously mentioned poynting vector then? I know I mentioned it today but I"m unsure if I searched old messages for it, sorta a lot to info dump haha

[solid jay]

No, your mention of it lead me to search for it

Previously unmentioned

[solid jay]

I think Paul Klee may be a tie into creation and the beginning of the universe or something

An egg hatching, a chick opening it's eyes and seeing light for the first time.

[shrewd fog]

I see I see, that makes sense since "Ab ovo" = From the beginning. This guy influenced Paul Klee supposedly (ctrl + f for Klee in the article) and also won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But probably not important and just a rabbit hole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Ostwald

[lapis moat]

I mean that is super interesting, it says he specifically inspired klee with his works on color theory

[shrewd fog]

Maybe how Paul Klee made Ab ovo is important

It employs watercolor on gauze and paper with a chalk ground, which produces a rich texture of triangular, circular, and crescent patterns.[1][2]
some kind of shape / pattern a math equation makes

Ya I'm heading to bed shortly so I don't really want to start digging into stuff lol

but there is stuff there to be found i'm sure

[solid jay]

This was mentioned earlier, thanks though.

[fallen jasper]

are people trying to deduct what it could mean?

I'm sure there are people trying to figure it out. We are trying to wade through all the new content right now.

Possibly. Right now we are trying to focus on solving the password for tier 3 and we know that there is no in game stuff needed to solve this tier.

[bright ruin]

I make a sacrifice daily so that some random player will come in, drop the password, and never actually hunt

[shrewd fog]

before I go to bed, reading how past clues were solved and what Rob said after being solved is very eye opneing and helpful for understanding just how many clues are given and how there are no coincidences https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T1D

this is good stuff, just skimming it and talks about crystallization since we've seen snowflakes previously it could be golden ratio related

This excerpt from an article on calcium waves is interesting

Are snowflakes t3 related and not diamond clue related?

(I know it can be both but sometimes it's one or the other)

[solid jay]

i'm not sure tbh

Interesting

Calcium ions play such an important role in so many biological processes that it has been branded as the “life and death signal”

[bright ruin]

Huh, that sounds a lot more significant than I initially thought

And to think that's chalk

[solid jay]

so the burrw.gif is likely a diffraction pattern

like i feel we can say that confidently based on a quick google search

[bright ruin]

yes absolutely

I agree with that

[solid jay]

which means we are looking for light

to link that to gaming, we could look at CDs

[bright ruin]

Remember that other image sent a while ago that looked like a piece of notebook paper? Maybe it was a hint toward diffraction. This is from a gif, but it's the solid lines passing through the holes and diffracting

I'll see if I can find it

[solid jay]

Yeah i know the one. I thought it was a chart paper initially.

but yes maybe we were looking at that image you just posted

[bright ruin]

#easter-eggs message

I still think it might be paper but, I have a feeling it's something else entirely knowing Rob

[solid jay]

a representation of something else ya

we know sound waves diffract so it makes sense we found a link to a sound chip

what he gave us seemed to small to be paper imo

line wise

Ya I think we safely debunked that as well

Fresnel Diffraction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_diffraction

[solid jay]

Diffraction can also be a concern in some technical applications; it sets a fundamental limit to the resolution of a camera, telescope, or microscope.

we are looking for a higher resolution burrw.gif

[solid jay]

difference here being that lines are perpendicular

[bright ruin]

hmm good point

I wonder if that necessarily rules it out though... hmm

[solid jay]

I would google Elliptical Diffraction and see where that goes

I am heading to bed though before it gets any later and I get sucked into this anymore lol

Okay last thing I'm going to post in here, lmao it's just all so interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

Elliptical and astigmatic beams

Many laser beams have an elliptical cross-section. Also common are beams with waist positions which are different for the two transverse dimensions, called astigmatic beams. These beams can be dealt with using the above two evolution equations, but with distinct values of each parameter for x and y and distinct definitions of the z = 0 point. The Gouy phase is a single value calculated correctly by summing the contribution from each dimension, with a Gouy phase within the range ±π/4 contributed by each dimension.

An elliptical beam will invert its ellipticity ratio as it propagates from the far field to the waist. The dimension which was the larger far from the waist, will be the smaller near the waist.

[bright ruin]

That's peculiar, might dig a little

"The meaning usually relates to the reddish color a totally eclipsed Moon takes on to observers on Earth.

[23] As sunlight penetrates the atmosphere of Earth, the gaseous layer filters and refracts the rays in
such a way that the green to violet wavelengths on the visible spectrum scatter more strongly than the red, thus giving the Moon a reddish cast.[24]

there are also the calcium wave lengths that was kind of a hint

the moon is made of cheese?

cheese has calcium

🤔

this is about the blood moon on skyway

and now we have a yellow moon

[full token]

u wot m8?

[alpine junco]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_is_made_of_green_cheese#:~:text=There was never an actual,understood as early as 1638.

[full token]

Did I miss many things again in a couple days? 😂😭

[alpine junco]

no lol

[full token]

Okay word lol. Haven’t had much time to check things since Thursday so I saw that and just… 🫠

[tired aspen]

how's the hunt going yolks? has Private Matches allowed for better hunting? 🧊

[upper sonnet]

you must be yolking

I absolutely think it has been more helpful in getting us more time in searching, I don't think we have made major revelations, just some minor details here and there.

[dull marsh]

Yes and no, not always easy to get 6 hunters to start the matches 😅
But it's a great start

[tired aspen]

noted, that's all i wanted to know - i know progress has been slow but hope you are having fun regardless

[full token]

We need to figure out this password. But season 2 be doing its thing. - Do appreciate the ask though

[dull marsh]

I think the stuff most relevant to EE hunters are being able to launch a game with fewer people (maybe even alone? 👀) and map selection, the rest is fine for us

[tired aspen]

that is the sentiment of most players and the team is aware

carry on yolks, i'm always lurking in the shadows

[dull marsh]

Like, literal shadows?!! 🤔

[dull marsh]

Thanks for taking care of your players!

[hard moss]

Surely this must be a coincidence, but if you take 4111 as a hexadecimal and convert it to decimal you get 16657. Looking this up takes you to The Guardians crossword No 16657.
In this crossword there's a few words we've seen before, and some that seems interesting:
Look for = SEEK
Hole in the wall = CASHDISPENSER
Winners color = GOLD
The Dog star, part of Canis Major = SIRIUS
Also: Atomic, Bounds, User
Link: https://www.theguardian.com/crosswords/quick/16657

Again, it could for sure be a coincidence

[dull marsh]

There are no coincidences...

(yeah probably a coincidence)

[dusk veldt]

Kinda, it just sucks you need so many people for private matches

[fallow radish]

It definitely has! It made it much easier for us to get clips of the mysterious distorted audio clips outside of yellow and green in the new map, and I’ve just been spending games crushing buildings with the sledgehammer to get some unique sight lines.

Something about the position of the audio sources and being able to see the waves of the map tickles my brain…

[alpine junco]

way better becuz solo q in bank it or quick cash sometimes leads to teammates teamkilling

so getting 9 players makes it easier

[dusk veldt]

Did anybody look further into the connection between the new skin and T3, we discussed it last night but idk maybe somebody found something else?

[hasty anvil]

I think we have had a solid connection for a while that seems forgotten about:
Calcium Spectral lines: #easter-eggs message
G Classification of Stars: The infrared Ca II triplet, commonly known as the calcium triplet, is a triplet of three ionised calcium spectral lines at the wavelengths of 8498 Å, 8542 Å and 8662 Å (measured in air). The triplet has a strong emission, and is most prominently observed in the absorption of spectral type G, K and M stars. #easter-eggs message
Tier 1E password: cacoiii

Also connections of wavelength added to this

[dusk veldt]

I wish there was a doc, i cant keep up with things in regards to T3😭

[upper sonnet]

the padlet and wiki?

[dusk veldt]

Padlet?

[hasty anvil]

Also also, calciums elctrons per shell are palindromic (2 , 8 , 8 , 2)

[upper sonnet]

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t3-dyra282bx402xxzy

[alpine junco]

was this symbol ever figured out

[hasty anvil]

Another thing, Geocache you can take Ca (calcium) and He (Helium) out of, Ca relates to Class G Stellar classification, He relates to class O

[alpine junco]

also this flowchart is a type of combination

combine 2 to get 1

combine 3 to get 1

combine 1 and 1 to get the final result

vice versa

break it down

[fallow radish]

What’s the Å symbol represent in this context? Units? There are a bunch of these in the grid lines in horizon

[hasty anvil]

The angstrom is often used in the natural sciences and technology to express sizes of atoms, molecules, microscopic biological structures, and lengths of chemical bonds, arrangement of atoms in crystals,[12][13] wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, and dimensions of integrated circuit parts.

[hasty anvil]

this got eyed already its on the padlet

[alpine junco]

yeah i know

but did the flowchart idea get eyed?

[upper sonnet]

This is credited as the first ever easter egg, it was on the atari 2600. kinda looks like the text we saw yesterday

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethporges/2017/12/20/the-true-story-behind-the-original-video-game-easter-egg-that-inspired-ready-player-one/?sh=460181d52976

[hasty anvil]

This was the closest reaction we got from him.#1204475718747029535 message

[alpine junco]

yeah but apply that to other clues

[upper sonnet]

how does O = gold? is it the O in gold?

[alpine junco]

but this doesnt make sense

OYE cannot be part of the chart

[hasty anvil]

They were going off the 'Y' in OYE means combine, and tried to place O on one side and E on the other

[hasty anvil]

Okay well Rob said it was close, but you're more than welcome to try it yourself

[upper sonnet]

Gotcha, that makes sense. Literally my first day here, i was like "Yolk, thats the golden part of the egg, what is that in latin? This is the easiest password ever" to then realize that was already a password... lol

[alpine junco]

"not completely wrong"

which means the idea is right

but the process isnt

[upper sonnet]

Clicking the link to that chart, and scrolling up rob mentions adding sunflower EE to S2, anyone see any sunflowers?

[alpine junco]

or process is right but just the wrong info

[dusk veldt]

Havent spotted anything on the new map? Might just be code for something else idk

[hasty anvil]

I'm just relaying info, you can try your own ideas

[alpine junco]

im not saying anything against it

let me rephrase

the broken pieces 2 and 3

probably hint at clues that when combine make a solid part

[hasty anvil]

yeah we've known this for a while lol

[sand crest]

i cant remember where, because it was ranked.. but there were some breakable glass indoors that had huge numbers on them (unlike most glass). Could this tie to the numbers given by the creator of the map?

let me see if i got at least 1 screenshot of it (edit: i dont, was too busy winning )

[alpine junco]

but im pretty sure the middle squares are diamond clues

thats what im tryna say

broken pieces = diamond clue = password

[unique spruce]

oye = 6f7965

[alpine junco]

OYE = 15 16 5 14 25 15 21 18 5 25 5 19

[dull marsh]

Wtf are y'all saying

[warm lantern]

yeah what have i missed here

which memo was missed

[alpine junco]

scroll up silly

[warm lantern]

true

[hasty anvil]

yeah i dont understand either

[warm lantern]

i get it sorta

[unique spruce]

novum principium means new beginning in latin

[hasty anvil]

diamond clues are for the final level

[warm lantern]

what if you have the flowchart the wrong way around

[alpine junco]

are we not at the final level of the tier?

[warm lantern]

because traditionally it goes big to small

that could be what rob meant?

[hasty anvil]

It's not mine lol

[hasty anvil]

no we are on the final tier of this level...

[gloomy anvil]

I think you're mixing up levels and tiers

[warm lantern]

no i just mean in general

[warm lantern]

no faz is right

[dusk veldt]

So everybody is just confused

[warm lantern]

we're trying to find the password to "T3"

so tier 3

[hasty anvil]

No new hunters are confused, idk i give up lol

[gloomy anvil]

Level 2:

• T1
• T2
• T3
  Level 3:
• T1
• and so on ...

[warm lantern]

im not a new hunter 💀

[hasty anvil]

there are 4 levels

all with different tiers

[warm lantern]

ah i had it backwards

[hasty anvil]

that's why each password is T1A T1B

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/namatama-the-finals-embark-wiki-nama-gif-5039568216450730427

[warm lantern]

yeah yeah i see

i just read it wrong

[warm lantern]

the wiki is barely written lmaoooooooo

[hasty anvil]

There are so many resources out there

[gloomy anvil]

which wiki are you looking at?

[warm lantern]

wiki evolves with each day

[alpine junco]

thats what i mean

:p

[warm lantern]

both, the com one is technically more complete ig

the fandom one is still being written

[hasty anvil]

Ok, so diamond clues are for level 4

[warm lantern]

yeah yeah

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[warm lantern]

yeah so level 4

i just read the site wrong lmaoooooo

[alpine junco]

no i confused myself

lol

i got corrected

[warm lantern]

yeah i did the same thing

thank you wig

[alpine junco]

flow charts vary

[warm lantern]

true. but its definitely a possibility

[upper sonnet]

anyone got a wiki link?

[warm lantern]

to which one?

/what article?

[fallen jasper]

Alright you madlads at easter-eggs, I need your help with figuring something out. Looking through the sponsors, starting with Ospuze: I can't seem to figure out what font is used here. Does anyone know which it is?
Note: it's not the conventional Saira that Embark used as a unified font.

[upper sonnet]

we should have an EE LFG channel people can subscribe too.

[fallen jasper]

@twin pelican my boy, do you know by any chance?

[alpine junco]

bro just put that in #1201288968562552863

We already have https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1217498821563514951

[normal whale]

Sorry if this has been said before but did you guys see the credits in-game? They changed it for season 2 it was not like that.

[fallen jasper]

Epic isn't it

[upper sonnet]

I would say Neometric Alt Heavy with tight character spacing.

https://www.myfonts.com/products/alt-heavy-neometric-32149?queryId=1a2a6d27c4ad136c873e071f03b93391&index=universal_search_data&objectIDs=5413553002

[twin pelican]

sadly cannot help with that :( sorry

[fallen jasper]

Cheers, I'll have a look now

[upper sonnet]

actually the m is wrong

https://www.myfonts.com/products/roman-ultra-black-salvatore-306741?queryId=1a2a6d27c4ad136c873e071f03b93391&index=universal_search_data&objectIDs=8647550001

this is closer

but still not exact.

[fallen jasper]

@wild belfry I'm still on cooldown in that chat, you level up by sending messages

[fallen jasper]

We'll get there

[fallen jasper]

What about Modica Ultra?

[upper sonnet]

im leaning heavy toward salvator.

M doesnt touch the bottom and has a point, R foot angle too steep and center E line goes to the end

[fallen jasper]

Closest result so far

[upper sonnet]

honestly this should be off topic, continue there if you have more questions

Ive noticed recently there has been a few messages from rob and mighty with a few OOOOOOOs, and I guess this was a thing in the past too according to the wiki.

There is a supermarket called Meny in Os norway. Not sure of the relevancy yet. But googling Meny Os will pull it right up.

[alpine junco]

[upper sonnet]

Binary on the bottom

CNS The Only Explaination CNS

[alpine junco]

This was around the time we started getting CNS and OYE clues, and couldn't find any links to T3

[alpine junco]

yeah i recall now

it's been that long

damn

[gloomy anvil]

Hypothetical, imagine the threads work in pairs.

Gold + Egg = Golden Egg #easter-eggs message

Latin + Mirror equals ... what? #easter-eggs message

[alpine junco]

is it mirror?

Hunting Easter Eggs in Hamlet.

Directly reference to Act 4 Scene 5, which is where the Rob said this
#easter-eggs message

God a' mercy on his soul. And of all Christians' souls. God buy you.

[alpine junco]

was reddo ever applied

[gloomy anvil]

Not sure what you're referring to

this meaning to mirror?

[alpine junco]

latin for pay, restore, render, return, make, mirror

[gloomy anvil]

ah ok

[upper sonnet]

did we ever find the important stuff in VVV?

[alpine junco]

what if mirror + edge

🤔

[fallow radish]

Didn’t Rob work on mirror’s edge?

[hidden nacelle]

yes

[solid jay]

Just getting back to this from last night.

Moiré patterns have been mentioned and it's certainly interesting. Looks like scan lines on a monitor as well

[alpine junco]

he also hinted at ME EE on Seoul

[solid jay]

That's certainly a moire pattern lol

[alpine junco]

moire lines

[upper sonnet]

i would disagree

where is this in game?

[solid jay]

Ya specifically lines. Moire Pattern is all encompassing.

ALSO that looks like a sunflower.

[alpine junco]

😉

[upper sonnet]

Isnt this just a lenticular lens effect.
