easter-eggs

[unkempt dune]

pretty sure that's nothing more than randomness

[sacred bane]

Tell the natives to look behind them for a
three-headed monkey. (Do this twice.)

Not sure this leads anywhere

[shrewd stirrup]

Yeah, I've been squinting every which way, and I think it's just grooves shadows

[lime kindle]

I was thinking maybe two kills with the sniper

Or two kills in general

[fallen jasper]

I'm up for it

[lime kindle]

One more 👀 ✨

[quaint stream]

This falls in live with the maps looking like circuit boards kind of and maybe those are glitch clusters

uuuuugh this rabbit hole.

Remix64 song contains a reference to 3HM 🎹 This seems WAY too relevant to all of the c64 talk.

I have no clue where to listen to this song...

Sweet by Visa Röster

[cold heart]

this was actually brought up a while ago, not sure if anything came of it, or if Rob made comments

[wispy surge]

i will, but cant now sorry

[cold heart]

was mentioned before but also here: #1211002564015824906 message

i do still think it might have grounds but not sure, defo a good idea

(dont wanna discredit you btw, very cool find imo)

[sour needle]

just a question is it only in my game like that or is in your game also a purple blob in the practice range behind the tower of fire barrels

[cold heart]

could you maybe post a screenshot of what youre talking about...?

[sour needle]

probably was a graphical bug

[cold heart]

cos i have no idea what you mean sorry

[sour needle]

when i changed the video settings it disappered but i have a picture of it

[sour needle]

I cant upload pictures but you can

can i send it to you?

[cold heart]

you can dm me.. or upload it to imgur n paste the link

[sour needle]

i send it to you

[cold heart]

from: @sour needle

ive never seen that before lmao, wth

[sour needle]

but was a bug i think

[lime kindle]

The goo...

[hasty light]

You have found the goop.

[hard forge]

is in the practice range park?

[cold heart]

yeah it looks like it

[hard forge]

A hunter once posted a blue "thing" under trees visible from outside the map when we first found out how to go out of bounds.

[lime kindle]

huh, didn't know you can partially damage generators (that they have electric sparks around them and smoke)

[cold heart]

yeah thats since been removed iirc (the blue texture thing)

[fallen jasper]

Now that's oddly interesting

[shrewd stirrup]

Is there any way to look this up

[regal zealot]

Noticed that too, happened to me when blowing up the generator but nothing (including roses) falls through 😔

[cold heart]

its nothing, it was just on one part under the grass texture, oob, under the rocks... but it was removed a while ago (and is/was defo unrelated)

[hard forge]

And if you still want to look it up...I can't think of an easy way.

[leaden swan]

Happened to me a few times a while back too I have pics of it aswell

[wise iris]

Splatoon ?

[cold heart]

so true

[hard current]

the goop ee confirmed

(this is a joke)

[cold heart]

i lie.. its still there.... could have sworn it was removed 🤔

(for legal reasons i dont condone OOB and this is for educational purposes only... dont try this at home) 💀

[hard forge]

now remind me how to get outside.

[cold heart]

let me be Rob....

although fixed a few patches ago, the method introduced in season 2 you can still follow...
seak the light, and oob you might...

[hard forge]

nvm i figured it out. I have to use the front door.

[cold heart]

true true

[sour needle]

thats the exact place where the purple goop was

[pure loom]

Just had an idea about Rob’s comment: “There is a constellation in Vegas to guide you too, but that is really, really, really hard to find... but it is there to guide you... ._.
31 (I wonder where the best place to find a constellation in Vegas is... hmm)” The obvious thing is that stars are in the sky and Las Vegas is odd that the constellation directly overhead is Octans, which IRL is the constellation at the south celestial pole. Anyhow, another way to look at it is that a constellation is made of stars, and where do you find ‘stars’? Maybe on the stage.

[hard forge]

wow.

Never thought about the stage part.

[unkempt dune]

that's an interesting way to think about it

[pure loom]

Might be worth examining both stages that are in the map

[unkempt dune]

I don't think we ever said anything in here.. but the other day drew was talking about seeing a video somewhere showing lightning hitting the stage and a golden flamingo appearing

but that video is MIA

[pure loom]

Whoa? Really??

[unkempt dune]

so it's unknown if that's really a thing or not

[pure loom]

Was it on Sandstorm?

[unkempt dune]

drew thought it was night, but that's unknown as well

[pure loom]

I wonder what triggered it

[unkempt dune]

but faz did mention hearing thunder on sandstorm #easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Might be the gold flamingo I’ve been looking for

[unkempt dune]

and that was a while back

(he corrected that later that it was thunder instead of lightning)

[pure loom]

Could be related though

Maybe the lightning is a rare occurrence when there is thunder

[gloomy anvil]

do you have any more info or links regarding this?

[unkempt dune]

nope, we were unable to find the video drew was talking about

he said he thought people already knew about it

[gloomy anvil]

in VC or is there a message?

[unkempt dune]

we were talking in vc looking on vegas

here's faz talking a bit more about the clip where he heard thunder: #easter-eggs message

[hard forge]

I think I saw a golden flamingo on the stage in an image posted here

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/hunt-nelson-simpsons-gif-6237237

[unkempt dune]

ahhh, that might have been us putting them on stage

like this one #1217498821563514951 message

[hard forge]

ohh .. were you using demat?

[unkempt dune]

no?

just grabbing them and putting them on stage

[hard forge]

where does this golden flamingo spawns?

[gloomy anvil]

well I've already come across this gem (unrelated) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1182330475386261536/1184686189563871263/FLAMINGO_KILL.mp4?ex=6629c27d&is=66174d7d&hm=bcdc33daaeeaf1a33a731ba5428da3583621de2d27896455004579f1fc145ea5&

[unkempt dune]

I believe Glamora

[inland hemlock]

we searched for stars as in actual stars, then we tried to search for star shaped objects and then for objects that looked like a constellation, after that we tried to search for stars as in people on the posters around the stage, then we logged off

[hard forge]

(I got flashbacks)

[inland hemlock]

that one room with a gazillion smoke detectors is still funny to me

[lime kindle]

Surely that wasn’t a stellar constellation formed with smoke detectors lol

[pure loom]

Ah, ok. Haha

[snow walrus]

Yea i did once lmao

[solar glade]

at Art Deco Glamora

[unkempt dune]

I wonder what that's supposed to mean

are phone cases obsolete by the time the finals takes place?

[cold heart]

the yellow one also says that so i guess its just copy pasted

is odd though yeah 🤔

[snow walrus]

Don't think they use phones neither

[cold heart]

do people from the future think we wore phones like a badge? 🤔 🤔

because they didnt have them for so long

[fallen jasper]

Makes sense as it would be fully integrated with the body by that time

[cold heart]

anyone down for catching one of these guys? 🐵 🐒 🐵 or in general looking around monaco

enjoy EE hunting guys!

[cold heart]

thankyou!

[shrewd fog]

I keep hearing thunder on the maps, not sure what it means and it’s definitely not fireworks

[dull marsh]

99% it's the meteors

[fossil axle]

Guys

I hope they'll be some rewards for these Easter eggs like an exclusive Cosmetic

Similar to BF4

[lime kindle]

There will be some for sure if there aren’t any already in the first place

[fossil axle]

[coarse nexus]

there hidden room with dumies on practice range any one know why is closed? https://imgur.com/a/LRiabdz

[coarse nexus]

and dont know some one notice it but you see rose outline behind wall if you hold any item https://imgur.com/a/fYhc6sc

https://imgur.com/a/qIhvD2q

[velvet narwhal]

We know of this, but don't really know a reason why he is hidden. Maybe it's to test the recon abilities.

[velvet narwhal]

This has also been mentioned, but we didn't find anything with it. Might also just be a bug

[velvet narwhal]

This outline thing also works with other objects

[fossil axle]

We are blessed to have a professional Easter egg Hunter right here

[wise iris]

I give him 2 days before he get crazy over the monkey

[split sentinel]

only a matter of time before he has a weird dream about the monkeys then he's officially an asylum inmate.

[dull marsh]

There are already, we know that there is one related the cannons EE over on Monaco, but we believe that this EE is disabled for now and might be enabled again in the future

[fossil axle]

ok cool

[sour needle]

didnt he said it is disabled?

[dull marsh]

We have good reasons to assume it's about that EE, but we don't have any explicit confirmation so there's a chance we are wrong about that

[fresh quiver]

Sometimes I think about that he could meant the first version of the 3HM Easter Egg...

or wasnt it some kind of cosmetic item to unlock with that

need to look that up at some point today. Not much time at work today

[hard current]

rob been gone almost a week

he’s probably waiting on us hehe

@dull marsh anything important I’ve missed these last few days? can probs hop on to help hunt tomorrow

[sweet void]

we're still drowning on the3HM

[dull marsh]

Nothing much tbh, with @unborn pilot we've been working on an interactive map, it should be ready in the coming days

[hard current]

yeah I got a sneak peak;))

hm, I suspect that finding the 3HM is going to reveal potentially another word?

[dull marsh]

That's the main theory for now yeah

But I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually something else 🤔

As we know there is an "obvious link" between them

It could definitely be that they spell out a word

But the words themselves don't seem to link up in any way for now (S LIES and cetacea)

[tired bridge]

maybe the obvious link is related to another potentially undiscovered/not yet added easter egg

is the obvious link just
graffiti

[dull marsh]

I mean we know there is the #1211002564015824906 which is the 3rd of those

Rob said that there is an obvious link between those 3 Easter Eggs

So of course for now we're only working with two of them

[sour needle]

they are animals

[dull marsh]

But yeah I'm struggling to see how a third word would make the two current one obviously linked

[dull marsh]

Yes, mammals even, but that hasn't been eyed so either it's not really relevant, either it's deeper than that

[tired bridge]

i can throw guesses around, are all these animals metaphors for something?

[hard current]

wonder then if there’s a link between S Lies and Linnaeus

somehow

[fallen jasper]

S = Scotty

[velvet narwhal]

Or Sal Scoria

[sweet void]

Or Sofia

[sour needle]

or shoe

[dull marsh]

Oh yeah feel free to explore ideas, as a newcomer you may have a fresh view on all of this!

[sour needle]

or stinkie

[dull marsh]

Rob did confirm Linnaeus is in the EE hunt somewhere but we didn't find what clue is correct yet 😭

[fresh quiver]

bet we already found out the password or a similar looking password for Level 3?
But we probably mentioned it during T3 sometime haha

[dull marsh]

And S LIES is part of lore (it was mentioned in the leaked MultiCo document), so I really feel like it's not the intended meaning of the WR, unless the two are starting to get closer to one another

[dull marsh]

I'd be surprised tbh

[tired bridge]

i cant really find some conclusive metaphors for dolphin and 3HM, though I dont think the idea is worth discarding fully

[dull marsh]

Most of what we tried was relating to gold and egg, which I'm not expecting to see in Level 3 honestly

[tired bridge]

so far one that stands out for dolphin is "a genius in the body of a fish"

[dull marsh]

Yeah 3HM might be hard for that

Maybe it could fit as a "distraction"?

[fresh quiver]

I wouldn't be surprised. As lost as we are he probably named the password and we can't figure it out

I mean... It's still rob we are talking about

[tired bridge]

level 3 is a big red herring for something else lmaoo

[dull marsh]

Nah, no red herring in EE hunt

[sour needle]

whats red herring

[dull marsh]

When you put fake clues or fake leads to distract people

[tired bridge]

"anxiety/pressure", "intelligence", "trick"

[fresh quiver]

just a bunch of things thrown in that we didnt needed for L2 T3 :D.

Its wasnt a red herring, but something that slowed us down a lot

[dull marsh]

We didn't connect some stuff, doesn't mean it doesn't connect somehow

Also we might have uncovered some stuff for later steps and didn't figure them out yet

[tired bridge]

wait if WR is S LIES, what if the 3HM is a "lie" in a sense?

considering the reference ofc

so what if the common thread is lies

[velvet narwhal]

The only red herrings are EE hunter made...

[fresh quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/running-home-bugs-bunny-jump-hiding-gif-8509983

[inland hemlock]

what if YOU are lying? i don't know who to trust here

[fresh quiver]

here. trust this.

https://padlet.com/suitablyodd/ospuze-is-gamer-pee-pj8uskvnux4hik1g

[inland hemlock]

hell yeah

[tired bridge]

WRs spell S LIES
Dolphins are tricksters by nature
3HM is often a trick used by Guybrush

[inland hemlock]

i love me ospuze and me ospuze loves me

[fresh quiver]

I like that. could be a connection

[dull marsh]

There could be something in there

[cold heart]

and Cetacea is uh.... yeah

[tired bridge]

yeah cetacea might be hard to fit in there, though dolphins belong to it

[dull marsh]

DOLPHINS ARE A LIE

[tired bridge]

dolphins went extinct in 2075

[inland hemlock]

the EE was just a mass hysteria event

[shadow shore]

I had that cartoon on vhs

[fresh quiver]

Same

[shadow shore]

was it the one with the airplane gremlin?

https://tenor.com/view/shake-head-bugs-bunny-conejo-looney-tunes-cartoon-gif-17908441

[sacred bane]

like a ... 3HM ... amirite!?

[sacred bane]

you also pull white rabbits out of hats.

[tired bridge]

true

common thread imo seems to be tricks/lies

[sacred bane]

There were VERY clear references to THE MATRiX during WR hunt. It was mostly about following clues to learning the lie.

And the Dolphins weren't real, they were AR Dolphins.

3HM is clearly a deception.

The Finals = The Matrix. I think we're learning this as this EE continues.

[lime kindle]

Guess it’s time to look for red & blue things

PETSCII reference on this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII

[shadow shore]

Yep... It was made in 1943

[turbid tinsel]

think i had it on a vhs tape and watched it until it broke lol

[shadow shore]

Yeah me too, I remember another one where he was trapped on an island

[turbid tinsel]

did you ever watch one with the bad carrots or something? i vaguely remember that one

[shadow shore]

What happens in that one? I can't really remember the names

Haha I'm looking at them on google and it's all coming back 😂

[fluid gull]

whats this mean?

its on the new v9s skin

[fallen summit]

gene ID

[fluid gull]

oh neat

[fallen summit]

Chlorine level, voltage sensitive

*chloride level

its related to voltage so that could be what it is

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/567478 link to the picture

[tired bridge]

electroplating?

[fallen summit]

whats that?

[tired bridge]

its the process of plating a material with another using electricity

typically metals

[fallen summit]

what i got was in a human chromasome

[cold heart]

like the opposite of electrolysis if i understand correctly

[tired bridge]

the description really sounded like electroplating stuff

[fallen summit]

so unsure if it is connected now

well... thats what is says🤷

Can't post media or interact in some channels? You may need to level up first!

How to level up? Just look around and join conversations. Lots to talk about!

Lvl 1: <@&1011197091470647317> - external emoji, create new VC
Lvl 3: <@&1011197119199191071> - embeds in main chat+media, images

[cold heart]

talk enough and you be lvl1

then you can talk in threads

[tired bridge]

Ah

Damn Im not someone who frequents general channels

[cold heart]

(talking in threads doesnt gain exp btw, but its not like you can do that rn anyways)

[tired bridge]

Fair point, bots cant access threads unless summoned

[cold heart]

even still, the level bot doesnt work in threads

we had a few CMs try different thing and they contacted the devs of the bot too, nothing they can do about it

was just an FYI, cos we didnt realise till the other day to why me and a few others have a really low level compared to others who are just as/less than active lol

getting to lvl 1 isnt too bad though, check your progress here #🏆┇rank-check

[copper sequoia]

Me now realizing I spend alot of time on threads🥲

[velvet narwhal]

You are not the only one 🫂

[cold heart]

do we have 1 more for the EE hunt? Monaco - 7KHF

[fallen jasper]

Hmu

[heady vapor]

for the 3HM, do u think u could use the water in the fountain on Monaco as a mirror? Or maybe something shows up in the fountain based on time of day or something?

[velvet narwhal]

@naive kernel Found something interesting. But probably just a bug.

[naive kernel]

Most likely but thought it looked cool either way! Starts properly at 8s

[drifting spruce]

Dash/portal effect?

[dusk veldt]

I am curious, why does the MultiCoDos sticker show german

[naive kernel]

That's my thought, there's a dash trail leading prior to it (hence the fuller clip) and 2 people left enemy team, so most likely scenario

[dusk veldt]

Says ”Achtung”(i know what it means, just a random thought)

[drifting spruce]

Embark are germans in disguise?

[velvet narwhal]

Maybe MultiCo originated from germany or german is a major language in 2100

[sacred bane]

This was my first idea a week or so back. I've been fiddling with it every day.

[heady vapor]

anything interesting yet or peculiar? 🧐

[dull marsh]

I think we'd know lol

[heady vapor]

ig so lol

[sacred bane]

nope

You know what we haven't been doing. killing each other.

What if we kill each other buy a bush, emote 180 and check for monkeys?

[fallen jasper]

Was there a thing to this one?
#server-announcements message

[cold heart]

a thing?

[fallen jasper]

Have to convey the message a better way nor feeling like it therefore I'll assume it doesn't really has much about lore

[full ginkgo]

I wonder if this has been said but, one of the cannons outside in Monaco 2014 can be fired, not sure if it can actually be used as a weapon or just for cosmetics

[cold heart]

all of the cannons can be fired on a cool down

it breaks objects and deals damage

we arent sure if they do anything EE related though right now

[fresh quiver]

2 EEs disappeared with S2 (according to rob):

1. The glitches #1204475718747029535 message
2. original monkeys #1201288968562552863 message

[cold heart]

i hate that i have constant FOMO of EEs we will never find 😭

also oh thats.. interesting

so perhaps the 132mins is different from the 3HM we are looking for rn..? thats a good find, never realised

[velvet narwhal]

2. is the cannons EE

[fresh quiver]

I somehow never really realized it either i think. Atleast i can't remember

[tired bridge]

This feels really specific if the cannons dont show up anywhere else

[heady vapor]

132 is also how many clues it took to solve one of the passwords coincidentally ?

[velvet narwhal]

Oh yeah and there was an EE in the menus in S1 (can't find the rob quote :()

[cold heart]

cannons appear on skyway too and there used to be an EE related to those... i believe, we think we cant do anymore

(please correct me if im wrong 🙏 )

[fresh quiver]

atleast that is what we guess. what we he dont meant the 3headed monkey regarding 132 minutes not literally? That this was a decoy and clue together.

I read it as rob said in a way that 132 is not connected to the WR but something else.

It's just throwing me off rn

[hard forge]

that's right before S2 launched

[tired bridge]

Look behind you, a 3HM thats only there for 132 minutes!

[fallen jasper]

There is a fountain in Monaco also night vision has some problems post teleport x.x

[tired bridge]

Isnt one of the hints astrological stuff, has anyone checked the stars at night?

[hard forge]

Again the monkey was visible on all maps once...So it should be on something common in all maps and Monaco

[unkempt dune]

Again, that was the original monkey

[hard forge]

but now we have 9 things to check for 3HM.

BTW have you you found any monkeys yet..? they are like all over the place in 2.4.0… ._.

All over the place

[fallow radish]

Rob HAS said that the constellation easter egg on Vegas is connected

[hard forge]

where?

[tired bridge]

Wdym original monkey

[unkempt dune]

original 3HM =/= 9 things for 3HM

[fallow radish]

#easter-eggs message

[tired bridge]

Im going home and looking at the stars in a virtual game in a virtual setting

Not like I can see them irl anyway

[hard forge]

I and others have intensively tried that.

[tired bridge]

Have you looked at the fountain's reflection of the stars?

[hard forge]

Also Rob said the "clues" related to the monkey will be gone with update 2.3.0

[fresh quiver]

thats what i think too after i read that today.

so the EE that went away is the Original 3HM in my opinion. which was replaced with the 9 3HM in 2.4.0

canon EE might still be in then 🙂

[hard forge]

No, there were multiple monkeys from the start. If you look up at the spreadsheet sheet of ryzzer, you can see that he always mentioned them as plural. (they, monkeys)

[cold heart]

i mean....

i always thought Rob using they was meant in either a neutral way, or that because it has 3 heads/ consciouses

[hard forge]

Could be.

[cold heart]

i think its pretty common to use them/them for conjoined siblings

but i am defo leaning towards there being multiple 3HMs now at this point (post 2.4)

[hard forge]

hmm, you are right.

You can wait, it's a single monkey in there... been in there for quite some time just to get you curious... but 2.4.0 is getting closer... ._.

[fresh quiver]

yeah. so the EE that went away was the original 3HM then maybe?=

Canon EE might be still in then.

[hard forge]

I think people have

[dull marsh]

Please once again: we do NOT KNOW what the 9 things related to 3HM that were added in 2.4 are!!!
Refrain from saying stuff like "the 9 3HM" as it's very misleading

From what I understand there was 1 3HM before, now there are "all over the map" and we know that the first one was to make us curious

[fresh quiver]

how we name it then? "original 3HM" and "3HM after 2.4.0" ?

[tired bridge]

2.4.0M

[dull marsh]

Maybe pre-2.4 3HM?

[tired bridge]

Or maybe 3HM1 and 3HM2

[fresh quiver]

S1-3HM & S2-3HM ?

[dull marsh]

No matter what we pick it should be easy to understand by newcomers

[unkempt dune]

There are monkeys all over the map. What kind of monkeys? Nobody knows. Could be normal ones. Could be 3 headed ones. Rob's photo of monkeys on a ceiling pointing out that they are not 3 headed monkeys is sus.

[tired bridge]

I feel like OG 3HM worka to refer to the first one and just 3HM works for the current one since we are looking for it

[dull marsh]

Honestly if possible we should avoid abbreviation to some degree

[dull marsh]

That sounds good to me

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

yes

replied to Raid about 9 "things" added for EE hunters in 2.4.0

[dull marsh]

Yeah it goes back to "original"/"OG"

[fresh quiver]

would be fine for me aswell. Emperviou?

[hard forge]

Fine by me too Samura

[tired bridge]

Alright so
The original 3HM, the tease monkey
And the 3HM, the actual monkey

If the monkey moves again we're gonna have to repeat this discussion

[shrewd fog]

the reflection of the pyro grenade looks weird, like a giant window in it?

[unkempt dune]

that's the cube map used for reflections for the main menu

[gloomy anvil]

yep

[shrewd fog]

dang

[heady vapor]

any idea if the monaco win screen has anything to do with 3HM?

[shrewd fog]

ive been suspicious about the win screen, that'd be a great place to hide something

[south wyvern]

Two so far I believe ._.

update: still no luck with the monkey

[fallow radish]

Is there a thread for Vegas investigations? I noticed that two of the hotels outside the map have references to elements/minerals (Argon & Rutile Rolls)

[heady vapor]

are there still supposed to be glitches in Vegas?

[fallow radish]

Yup! Here's the thread about them, check the pinned posts for maps of where they are on each map https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1212747235578609795

[uneven canyon]

notic the textures as the flame in the gernade in some level up skins its so weird

[unkempt dune]

you know, when I look at this part of Monaco at night, it reminds me of the beginning of The Secret of Monkey Island

it's interesting that The Secret of Monkey Island and The Curse of Monkey Island both start at night

[heady vapor]

When you ping someone on your team, don't you say "right behind you" in game??

[velvet thicket]

true, and we’ve tried a lot of things like this. nothing has been found yet though

[cold heart]

you also say "behind you" when pinging an enemy thats behind your ally

but havent gotten anything significant yet

[mystic kestrel]

what's the other one?

[tired bridge]

what bothers me is that the monkey dissapears immediately on the activation page

[quaint stream]

Need one more for EE hunting

Even if you're not gonna hunt just help us start the game!

[cold heart]

🙏 plz plz plz plz

code: LF9K

[dull marsh]

Based on Rob's information it will very likely be the case in-game too, as soon as you see it, it will disappear

[tired bridge]

this feels like something i'd lose my mind for in noita

if it dissapears immediately, then what information do we gather from it?

how to trigger it?

is that the clue?

[alpine whale]

What worries me is that the EE hunters in Noita are still figuring clues 3 years after the games release

[tired bridge]

trust me they arent

stuff from new updates? sure

the eyes and the cauldron? nah

[alpine whale]

What about the eyes?

Ah

[dull marsh]

I mean whether it disappears or not doesn't change much, we already know what it looks like so there must be some other information from it like how we trigger, what conditions are needed for it, where it's located, how many there are...

[split sentinel]

oh no, it has followed me here

[tired bridge]

you wont escape

[hard forge]

We only know 2 things for sure.

• how the monkey looks.
• and that there are 9 things related to 2.4.0 three headed monkey.

Apart from that we have 1 eye.

[cold heart]

And 7 of those things are easier than the other 2, iirc...

[tired bridge]

do we have confirmation the monaco graffiti have something to do with the monkey?

[split sentinel]

Any idea on what the mirror or reflection bit might be about, like not looking at it directly
i hope this isn't some double meaning red herring, I'm gonna mald so hard

[hard forge]

I would like to point out that Rob never mentioned "reflections" (IIRC) but only said "MIRROR" multiple times

[dull marsh]

For now there is no reason to think they would be related. The graffitis seem to be related to calcium carbonate mostly.

[cold heart]

Saying that S lies was related to Seoul WRs, and Rob likes to link things together

[hard forge]

in "obvious ways"

[cold heart]

The other graffitis in Monaco are a LOT older though.. and where for a previous password

[cold heart]

Its all obvious in hindsight

[split sentinel]

Right.
there no real reflections in monaco to my knowledge.
my best bet currently is someone has to do something and another player could mirror the other person by standing in front of them lookin at them mirroring their action idk
I recall someone saying Rob dying a lot trying to get this done, though i haven't seen the quote myself so i may be wrong

[split sentinel]

AAAAA

[drifting spruce]

i bet rob sits down on weekends with some popcorn, reads this channel and laughs

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-jack-in-the-box-crying-movies-commercial-gif-17540689

[dull marsh]

Before sleeping he just reads up our latest theories and falls asleep from boredom

[hard forge]

is it related to something?

[split sentinel]

Noita eyes code brainrot

[hard forge]

https://tenor.com/view/examining-veritasium-observing-scientist-researcher-gif-24985534

what I think

[drifting spruce]

we need to think crazier

what if

a monkey is a primate and so is a human

so maybe the 3 headed monkey is on a statue with 3 people

[hard forge]

the current ongoing theory

for password

[dull marsh]

But we know what the 3HM looks like

[hard forge]

no

[drifting spruce]

jus so rob doesnt get bored when reading these

[unkempt dune]

I wonder if we already have enough information to solve the current password we need

[hard forge]

most of the discussions about it are in #1225868357509578823 and few in #1226658007283142716

@dull marsh I still don't understand what he meant by "you are kidding right"

he didn't say or eye anything in #1226913642046291969

[heady vapor]

have we tried mirroring appearances/gadgets?

[shadow shore]

tried outfits and loadouts yep

[heady vapor]

thats crazy yall have done so much already

[spring plover]

i wonder if its a reference to "monkey see, monkey do" or a simon says type thing

[fallen jasper]

has anyone noticed random crowd and announcer sounds in the background while in the main menu?

[drowsy warren]

Is the big Easter egg even something we can do right now?

[dull marsh]

If you're talking about the 3-Headed Monkey then most definitely yeah

[unkempt dune]

Year of the Rabbit
Year of the Dolphin
Year of the Monkey

if only that was a thing

[dull marsh]

I mean there was a "year of the dolphin" in 2007, but that isn't any zodiac stuff, it was just a year to bring awareness about them

[unkempt dune]

Year of the Monkey is two years off of 2014

2016 is the closest Year of the Monkey for Monaco

If only it was 1 year off

I'm still wondering why the horse statue was removed from Monaco

[sweet void]

you have a screenshot of that statue ?

[unkempt dune]

Not on hand, but it's from some early development footage of the game

2023 = Year of the Rabbit = 4
2032 = Year of the Rat = 1
2014 = Year of the Horse = 7

Get this.. the 9th year is Year of the Monkey

[sweet void]

Oh Kinda blurry but does the work

[unkempt dune]

it was in front of the cathedral

[sweet void]

Seems blowable unlike the other statue

[unkempt dune]

there's also a different statue where that one lady statue is

looks like potentially another statue involving a horse

[sweet void]

you have the soruce of this footage ?

[drowsy warren]

Sorry should have clarified, is the Easter egg for the roses even something that can be done right now or has it been confirmed?

Like is it a waiting game or have the devs actually said it’s something that can be done right now

[unkempt dune]

https://youtu.be/5jSJcL4IGYw

[modest ermine]

Hi guys, have we already found all WR?

[unkempt dune]

we have

[dull marsh]

I would expect it to be doable already, but it might be near impossible for now with the little information we have about it

[modest ermine]

Oh really? Thats nice! Where he was?

[unkempt dune]

hospital on a sign

[dull marsh]

The statues being changed would kinda mean that they are not super significant imo 🤔

[unkempt dune]

I'm thinking they were removed because of their shapes and size

might have been awkward to play around them too

[dull marsh]

Might also have been somewhat of a placeholder

[unkempt dune]

maybe there's something still horse related on Monaco that we haven't found yet

[rancid wedge]

That's test footage, the whole destruction system changed from then till now, really don't think there's anything to do with a horse, could be wrong though, they did do a wild west themed event on Monaco

[unkempt dune]

Monaco 2014 is Year of the Horse

Rob has previously eyed Las Vegas 2032 (Year of the Rat) and Seoul 2023 (Year of the Rabbit)

there have been EEs on those maps related to their zodiac animals

[rancid wedge]

Could be pointing to look for rats on Las Vegas, any mention of the year I can find for Vegas is 2032, is there any other confirmation for that specific year?

[unkempt dune]

#easter-eggs message

like horses are/were related to cannons since they would pull them

and Monaco does have cannons and there was a cannon-related EE

I mentioned it in the past, but horses have cannon bones

[cold heart]

do we not have a padlet for lvl3?

[sweet void]

and a tried password threa ?

Found it => https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1226677330689261631

[fresh quiver]

apparently not yet.

@fallen jasper can we get a L3 padlet just in case?

[dull marsh]

Isn't it Kyne making them?

Tried password thread is dangerous tho

[cold heart]

yeah its Kynes padlet account

[fresh quiver]

If I tag Kyne or Justice. which difference does it make?

no difference

[dusk veldt]

Guys i have had vision

Rob will appear today(🤞)

[velvet narwhal]

Maybe not today, but I have a good feeling for this weekend

[dusk veldt]

Dusty made a appearance sooo

Btw we might be getting better maps soon…#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[fresh quiver]

you might be right.
both stopped messaging on 04/12/2024
Dusty started today again. So he might appear today or this weekend absolutely

[dull marsh]

Maybe my theory of the creative bunker was right... 🤔

[summer wave]

anyone hunting

[dull marsh]

#1217498821563514951 thread for that 😉

[cold heart]

first im hearing of a "creative bunker" 👀

[dull marsh]

I made the theory that they went into "bunker mode" to be super creative and productive for a few days

There is probably an actual term for that

[cold heart]

oooh, youre on about Embark ic ic

[dull marsh]

Not necessarily about Embark, could be just a few people doing that

I guess we'll know once Rob comes back 🥲

[wise iris]

we need a rob detector

that says when rob get online

so we can use the data collected and make simulation of probability of him getting online

lol

[sweet void]

bootcamp ? 😄

[dull marsh]

Yeah I guess hehe

[urban sonnet]

is the reason why i cant write in the easter egg threads bc of my server level?

[urban sonnet]

ahh alright didnt think threads would count as channels

[fallen jasper]

They don't

[cold heart]

yeah its just not clearly explained that well... this is the only place in the server threads are really used, but its not much exp

[sweet void]

if you were answering my post

anyway just flood 10 message and boom you can talk in thread

[urban sonnet]

yeah it says levels unlock new channels not threads so i thought there was another reason i couldnt write. but thanks for the answer

[dull marsh]

Don't actually flood tho

Just interact a bit

[sweet void]

yea lol of course

[urban sonnet]

i will write messages and answer where i can, like this little message :)

[sweet void]

For instance If you discover things egg related just post here

[urban sonnet]

dont think that will happen anytime soon, the amount of easter egg stuff is overwhelming. I mostly wanted to help hunt on maps

[cold heart]

you still can, people put codes here ( #1217498821563514951 ) a lot

[cold heart]

nows a pretty good time to catch on stuff tbh, not a whole lot is happening (which is a blessing and a curse)

so not like you need to constantly chase whats being done to date

[velvet narwhal]

I think you meant this thread right? https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1217498821563514951

[cold heart]

sugar, yeah sorry

clicked return too fast ehhe

[hard forge]

you need about 35 messages to get access to Threads. And yes meanwhile you can write here.

[urban sonnet]

i feel like most of the information is scattered in multiple threads in long message chains (maybe im wrong) so thats why i think its overwhelming

[urban sonnet]

35 is fine i will reach that at some point, thank you

[dull marsh]

You can check out #egg-hunt-onboarding which attempts to introduce to the various stuff that is relevant, probably a good starting point

[cold heart]

your best bet is to look at #egg-hunt-onboarding and to binge watch some RHB videos (in order) with some popcorn

if you have any specific Qs though you can fire away

the pinned comments and wiki also contain useful information (so id look there first too)

[fallen jasper]

Maybe it's behind your teammate if killed during a flash bang

Reflected on a puddle :3

[turbid sorrel]

how many messages do i have to send before i can send pictures here

[cold heart]

i wouldnt know what your current level is... or exp, but you can check here #🏆┇rank-check

you want to be level 3

[turbid sorrel]

oh great, only 40 more

[cold heart]

but you can also just upload your image to imgur and paste the link

[lime kindle]

Never heard this before, is this part of the map?

[snow walrus]

where was it

[lime kindle]

Hope this gives enough for orientation, wouldn't know how to describe it

[lime kindle]

Things I partially hear are "Go around" and "Come back up"

[wise iris]

what does cube maps mean ?

[cold heart]

the best way i can sorta explain it, is its a skybox for reflections

[snow walrus]

google cubemap vs skybox

[wise iris]

so it's the reflection system

like in the water

[cold heart]

yes but its basically just an image

[fringe trench]

this is a cubemap

[wise iris]

ho ok

rob isn't hiding monkey in cubemap

[fringe trench]

its a 360 image used for reflections, capured from a point in space

[wise iris]

so no monkey in reflection

[fringe trench]

he said its not in a cubemap from memory

[cold heart]

it baso rules out the generic low res part of reflections you see in gadgets, on your weapon, windows, puddles etc

[snow walrus]

this is a wrong conclusion

[wise iris]

maybe will see

lol

[cold heart]

puddles and some other things use an additional layer which makes use of "screenspace" reflections (i think this varies on graphics settings though)

[fringe trench]

theres potentially the chance that the reflection could be in a realtime reflection probe, but i feel like thats unlikely
(meaning that itd re-render the cubemap every frame while the game is running, allowing it to update. racing games do this sometimes so your cars reflections can be accurate)

[sweet void]

we don't know, as per character, emote, and weapon are not cubemap and, they reflect indeed

[fringe trench]

the only reflections that change in-game are Screen Space Reflections(SSR) which takes the pixels on your screen and distorts them to make them look like a reflection. meaning, if its not on your screen, its not in the SSR. 😅

imo its not in reflections

[cold heart]

👆 thats true yeah, it is very possible to mask something specifically into the SSR, but idk

i really doubt it honestly

[slim reef]

I feel like it's going to appear behind us or people, who won't be able to see it, but the onlooker can maybe

[urban sonnet]

saw someone talk about mirror in the sense of player mirroring each other, was there any follow up?

[cold heart]

i spent some time with others doing some further tests with "reflections" (of both kind) for others sake last night... but it just seems like taking it too litterially, and would be too hard to find (has so many holes in the logic too)
but i dont want to rule anything out

[grave bridge]

Nah its actually 100% true lmao

[wise iris]

guys

i was looking trought my respawn

vid

and i saw that

do you see it

too

the letter H

[cold heart]

what am i looking at exacty?

i dont see an H

[wise iris]

now ?

[fringe trench]

wheres the vid?

[wise iris]

2 sec finishing a game

[cold heart]

oh interesting.. id be curious to see how repeatable that is

[wise iris]

i suppose it's from the emote wheel but here

you see it for 1 frame

[lime kindle]

Oh it definitely is

Banan got the fastest emote wheel in the wild west

[wise iris]

lol

trying some stuff

[cold heart]

they are in visibly different places, but im not sure if its anything (tried to take the ss as close together as i could)

[eternal violet]

because of distortion effect

[wise iris]

also

i found that

while pressing ultra fast

[cold heart]

yeah thats true

[wise iris]

all have 3

maybe some monkey stuff

[lime kindle]

That happens when you press the emote wheel real fast after reviving

I think it's just an unloaded emote wheel

[wise iris]

how ok

youve got it too ?

[lime kindle]

Yeah plenty times when wanting to thank my mates for reviving me ^^

[wise iris]

ok

[sweet void]

From afar the B points looks like often like an H

[wise iris]

that looks soo much like an arrow but i got only 1 frame so idk what it is

[wise iris]

it was the emote wheel

does the emote wheel give some sort of distorting effect

bc i have smthing like this appearing for 1fram or 2

multiple times

srry the audio is destroyed idk why

[grave bridge]

Thats so cursed

[dull marsh]

I feel like that H is just something in the landscape which for some reason is more visible than the surroundings with that lighting effect

[cold heart]

yeah.. it was a nice idea/thought though

[eternal violet]

that H is literally the keybind for the emote, you can even see the emote's name above it...

[dull marsh]

Please stop spamming

[sharp lynx]

ok

[earnest goblet]

I miss Rob.

[snow walrus]

at least we don't have any urgency to summon him

[fallow radish]

I'm doubtful this is anything more than a bug, but when the match ends and things enter bullet time, it kicks you out of any character animations you're in, including the crouch. I was jammed underneath a pillar on Seoul when the game ended, and I was able to see inside it. Y'all think we could recreate that with one of the Generators and see what magic is inside?

[plucky kettle]

i found this a week or so ago and it was dismissed as a bug

[wise iris]

Ok

[heady vapor]

Are we sure the 3HM EE is actually an active with no specific location where you have to do an action for it to appear (like pinging, emoting, stealing a cashout, etc) instead of one like the WRs and the dolphins where you find something at specific locations (like WRs on objects and also letters on objects for dolphins EE)? Tbf the dolphin one was a little more involved, but there were still clues IN the map itself to help which is what I'm trying to get at.

and rob said we have clues in the map on where to find the EEs already also #easter-eggs message

[lime kindle]

The monkey was available on every map for 132 minutes, which tells us that it can't be map specific.

Regarding the EE clues: Exactly, we need to find them (:

[unkempt dune]

I'm pretty sure nobody has said that there's definitely no specific location

We've had this discussion multiple times. The whole 132 minutes thing was for the original monkey.. not for the current 9 thing 3HM

[lime kindle]

There are two monkeys, a normal and a three-headed one?

[unkempt dune]

the original 3 headed monkey and the 9 thing 3 headed monkey

it is unknown if the 9 things are monkeys or not

[fallow radish]

I like this theory especially considering E3 (or whatever is left of it) is coming up in June. Now's probably the time that they're finalizing whatever they have planned for that event. I imagine Rob would be heavily involved in that creative vision!

[cold heart]

wait i thought E3 died years and years ago.. didnt they say it was officially dunzo too 🤯

[dull marsh]

New version of the interactive map is ready! https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/

There are some bugs here and there but it should be usable overall 😉

Now it's gonna be more about the content itself

[lime kindle]

Wooo that's looking cool! Though the Thinker is destructable, no? Only the Lovers are not destructable statues iirc

(And the plaque, not really a statue to me tho >.>)

[dull marsh]

Yeah might be, I only used the data that @unborn pilot collected already, I mainly focused on implementing features

[lime kindle]

Gotcha gotcha, still an amazing and helpful thing!

[dull marsh]

If you go into settings, you can enter Edit Mode to add pins and stuff, and then you can submit your map as a community map, I think we can use those as drafts for people to submit stuff to add and then we can delete that draft map to keep stuff clean

Edit Mode is functional, not the best user experience but it does the job

Else you can create a blank map, add your pins, export as JSON and send it to us so we can add them to the official map

(I will probably not add changes in the coming days, gonna be away and take some rest lol)

[cold heart]

you deserb it lol (you both do)

[fallen jasper]

That was some great compendium props 🎉

[dull marsh]

If anyone is motivated enough I think it could be great to make custom icons for each type of pins but with a cohesive style which matches more than the current ones

[cold heart]

if i get time, (and not sweating the EEs in game), im defo adding to this, and may add some icons/ PRs

[dull marsh]

(if you wanna help, do so in #1228108436042940445 so we can collaborate properly 😉 )

(just wanna avoid having 2 people doing the same thing without knowing hehe)

[fallen jasper]

True

[cold heart]

are the current icons custom or? 🥺

[dull marsh]

99% sure these are just from flaticon or something like that

[solar glade]

this is fantastic btw, y’all doing amazing

[gloomy anvil]

awesome stuff

btw for the golden woman statue, it's previously been identified as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite_of_Knidos

[dull marsh]

I'll see to add that to the description 😉

[round willow]

What about the number code on the new V9S skin? It's written on a golden plate

567478

Oh I'm sorry it seems like someone already pointed out this

[dull marsh]

I added it along with that link to the description

We should be able to use markdown in the descriptions, although it doesn't work really well with images as they can be way too big for that small panel lol

[dull marsh]

But looking at it it's not quite the same status, the clothe is a bit smaller ingame, the body is mirrored but the head looks in the same direction 🤔

[snow walrus]

this is the best part
https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/assets/img/MapaTama.svg

[dull marsh]

That's @unborn pilot work

[snow walrus]

[wise iris]

there is a building in irl las vegas called constellation

would it be a coincidence ?

[lime kindle]

hmmm...got a pic of it?

[wise iris]

bunch of houses

[fair charm]

" With so much debris you would think a pack of vandals were here"
What are the vandals?

[wise iris]

HOLLY

what that game

[lime kindle]

Oh I thought it's gonna be a special building, one or more of the special buildings in TF Vegas have star related theme sxd

[sour needle]

vandals are people who destroy property from other people unlawfully

[fair charm]

Dang Do they have any game modes or any other things about them?

I remember a viiya and vandals game mode thing but idk much more than taht

[sour needle]

dont thing so

[wise iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_A6XQu3k-g getting soo many the finals vibe from that game

does anyone know what rob did there ?

[sour needle]

probably because of the yellow

that could be important https://mirrorsedge.fandom.com/wiki/Wall_Graffiti

[wise iris]

pray for rob to get online good night

[sour needle]

did rob work at DICE

[wise iris]

yes

[sour needle]

GN

[cold heart]

most of the developers in Embark came from Dice, including Rob

he was the lead artist at Dice for years. Then he obvs co-founded Embark, and is the lead artist/ art director, and audio guy (afaik)

so it makes sense why you picked up on that mirrors edge has similar vibes to the finals

he is the EE lead/nerd in almost (if not all) all the games hes touched too i think, is very cool ^^

[hard forge]

i don't think he is the audio guy.

[cold heart]

istg that he had his hand in audio design too, but might be wrong

[tranquil panther]

#easter-eggs message Found the exact statue earlier 🤓

[gloomy anvil]

oh that's definitely it, nice work!

[dusk veldt]

Wrong channel

[dull marsh]

My dude, Rob CREATED Mirror's Edge (along with 2 other person) so of course you'll get similar vibes

You can also see how Seoul feels like Mirror's Edge, we know there is a ME EE in that map even

[fair charm]

I remember someone talking about the big splash oil. and the Team big splash

Some funny bird I found. Uhh crested aluket I think

[earnest goblet]

Interesting creatures.

[earnest goblet]

What do you think about the 3HM?

[fair charm]

Thats its a pain in the A** to find and I wonder what it leads to? Like some new sponser or smthin?

[earnest goblet]

Thats part of the fun, haha. Curious, what makes you say sponsor?

[fair charm]

idk just think it might lead to some more lore like a new map or something solved. Somewhere down the road whether from the monkey or from people who were looking for it working more on other lore it would lead to more sponsors eventually.

[earnest goblet]

I want a pirate sponsor. Island map.

[fair charm]

A beach map or a monkey island map for it woudl be nice

[fair charm]

yeah that would be cool

Oke... if you're sure

[fallen jasper]

wow lmao i didn't even realize, thats pretty cool. shame EA wont make a 3rd game

[fallen jasper]

its great, catalyst is good too just slightly clunky tbh, oh and there is a character in catalyst whos me

like they are me

[wise iris]

ik thats why i looked it up

[dim totem]

the pc nerd one? 🥲

[fallen jasper]

yeah

[dim totem]

Catalyst was decent, I just wish the game wasn't ubisoftified with all the collectibles

[fallen jasper]

and they shutodwn the servers so

[grave bridge]

I played the first game and wasnt able to finish it (i was on EAs subscription service for 1 month & cancelled lol) but i got to what i think was near the ending, i just got annoyed at the later levels being so combat heavy when it was by far the jankiest part of the game IMO. Only played the first level or 2 of catalyst but the art there really doesnt hit the same so far

Either way i enjoyed like 80% of my time spent in both games lol, i realize now that message was only really criticism

[fallen jasper]

catalyst is like that too, the combat is even clunkier tbh and they focused way too much on it but its still fun

[plucky kettle]

ea and ubisoft are both terrible

[grave bridge]

Ah, i see

[dim totem]

i didn't say otherwise

[plucky kettle]

ik

but its just a fact

[fallen jasper]

its still good though

[cold heart]

whats the characters name? :o

[fallen jasper]

plastic

[cold heart]

o, cute!

i should have guessed 😄

[grave bridge]

I absolutely love that the finals calls back on mirrors edge in aesthetic and (sooorta) movement style, and to battlefield bad company 1 with the gunplay & destruction. It just feels like a perfect evolution of both ideas conglomerated into one in juuust all the right ways

[steel isle]

noticed the cashbox spawner in the practice range will give you 4 boxes at a time, but no more. Anyone tried sinking a box in all four targets at the same time?

[cold heart]

its uh, not that hard to do. its just a mini game you can do in the PR

and it makes like a fan horn sound i think if you do it, and the boxes come back

[steel isle]

I've done em one at a time and seen the lil animation, just wondering if I should try rigging up smth to sink four boxes at the same moment

[dusk veldt]

Guys https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201288968562552863

[grave bridge]

More autistic rambling about battlefield, i promise i'll be ontopic after this: interesting to see that the only real evolution made to the battlefield formula since BC1 was bf3, which just combines all the new features bad company introduced with the old 64p immersive battlefield game formula. It stayed fresh until bf1 and everything after that didnt feel like the franchise was actually going anywhere. I just think its fascinating that an established game series was able to

1. Spinoff without a mainline entry for like 6-8 years
2. Go to console only for most of those years
3. Implement all of the spinoffs mechanics to freshen up the established formula to make something special
   All without pissing absolutely everyone off like when most established franchises decide to experiment.

[dusk veldt]

Very much not on brand, alot of people(me included) try to catch up by reading the EE chats just move to https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1201288968562552863

[grave bridge]

i literally said i would be ontopic after this. lol

i just had already typed most of that when you said to go to offtopic

[cold heart]

dw about it 🙃 nothing much EE is happening right now anyways... + it is TF / Embark related

[dusk veldt]

How would one who hasnt read up on the chats know if nothing has happend, they would have to read through everything to know. I get youre point but there is a chat just for this purpose so idk

[spiral lance]

Hey all. I just stumbled across some indestructible windows in Monaco. I have pictures but i cannot send them here because im not high rank .. you aware of this?

Perhaps associated with 3HM?

Monaco btw

[velvet narwhal]

You can use imgur to send images

[spiral lance]

Im on discord through phone

[velvet narwhal]

That's a billboard in front of the window

[snow walrus]

that's not indestructible

[spiral lance]

Oh well...sorry for the fuss 🙈Any news from Rob on the EE?

[velvet narwhal]

Nope he's been missing for ~1 week

[alpine junco]

Hello

[snow walrus]

Hi u still eu guy?

[upper sonnet]

we need to include how simple it is to take a screen shot in the intro. There is no reason for these potato pictures.

[cold heart]

i mean, they are playing on console n probably couldnt be arsed... its not that deep, nor that bad. who really cares that much

[velvet narwhal]

on ps5 is a screenshot feature that can send your screenshot to your mobile. Most just don't know it exists

[upper sonnet]

oh i forgot console players exist

[sharp sentinel]

It adds a personal touch to the pictures

Taking the photos of the easter eggs like there bigfoot

[cold heart]

i can and will start taking EE pictures from a black and white CRT

[spiral lance]

Yeah, I dont have PSN app connected to my phone 🙊🙈

[sharp sentinel]

I will play using ps remote play on my phone in a spot with bad WiFi, and then get a different phone to record the phone with the gameplay

[cold heart]

i might get one of those polaroid style disposable cameras you can get on holiday too

[sharp sentinel]

"I tried getting a recording of the 3hm, but the reel caught fire in the projector"

The voices tell me Rob makes an appearance on Monday

[cold heart]

i just hope he is okay at this point tbh

[wise iris]

Rob ghost will be hunting our monkey dream

[vale igloo]

I have an idea about something on Monaco, maybe I'm just going insane. I'll let y'all know if it leads to anything

[sacred bane]

I hope he isn't dead, but if he is, his ass better haunt this thread for a minute... Just Saiyan.

[wise iris]

Famous last worlds lol

[vale igloo]

IF you load up the monaco tutorial version, there are weird blue blobs where the telescopes are pointing. I imagine this is because when they were making the sort of blue background for the rest of the map not accessible, it was done automatically for everything across the map. I believe these correlate to something on the normal monaco, something likely shows up when something happens, or maybe something is there right now, I didn’t get a good look.

I would’ve thought these were random blobs and dismissed it, but most of them are clearly in front of each telescope. I believe you might need a player in front of each telescope on the right Monaco variant. (maybe dusk? or one of the other twilight variants)

[narrow frigate]

cute

[lime kindle]

I've already noticed those pixel blobs, they are probably just some left-over stuff they forgot in the tutorial, same with the gutters missing textures.

In normal Monaco all those blobs are not existing.

[fathom fractal]

Imagine the monkey just appears when you die.

[hard forge]

TEAMWORK. ez
"..." = 3 contestants

removes tin foil hat

[lime kindle]

I'm stuck on him saying "The first 7 is easy to find"...

[hard forge]

7 and 9...
79 ??

[hard forge]

Yeah, idk what it means either.

What is 7?

But i guess it's a typo

[fresh quiver]

not 79 again... please no 😂

[hard forge]

what's wrong with 79?
🧌

[lime kindle]

Typos can be deadly here...

[fresh quiver]

Tier 3 💀 whole Level 2 😂

[hard forge]

(ik)

[hard forge]

always has been

[eternal violet]

its either 7 clues or monkeys

[snow walrus]

He added 9 new things with 2.4

7 things are relatively easy

And yet none of us notice any difference at Monaco 😂

[cold heart]

I think its left over from when they mass replaced the park/forest trees with the glitch version

There are trees all up the promenade-like area there in the normal version

[cold heart]

Oh wait wasnt there a series/film called something like that

Yeah yeah yeah, 12 Monkeys.... cant believe i forgot about this film

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0114746/

Doubt its related, just that message unlocked a lost memory lmao

I like this movie haha, haven't seen it for a while but i first watched it as a kid

youre a star thanks @fallen jasper

[fallen jasper]

awesum! and no worries, glad to help!

[cold heart]

okay so anyways, these are the ToDs and Modifiers ive collected so far for this season... people seem to keep asking for especially Monaco but I'd like to make a post of them all here... maybe we can pin it in one of the threads

.
ive admittedly been a bit lazy with making note of my games recently , (and i rarely get these maps for some reason in comp) so dont have enough data for sys$horizon and skyway to be confident

these are all taken from competitive btw (but i dont think that matters)

[sacred bane]

Can't wait to find out that his code is in a feature branch that he's running locally and thinking it's live.

Like the devs I work with do every week 😉

[cold heart]

"but i can see the EEs on my machine"

[sacred bane]

"works for me... Get rekt, scrubs. ._. "

[cold heart]

"OYEs... ._.", more like "Open Your PR" 🤬 (jks) 😆

[fallen jasper]

That's a sad occurrence, happens way too often

People need to check this out, this could be a big help towards the EE hunt for the monkey

[snow walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/prison-gif-22826773

tonight impervious

[sacred bane]

Based on the reactions, that's either Rick Roll link or Meatspin... Sketchy. Might click soon.

Clicked it. That felt nice.

[gloomy anvil]

I've already learned to recognize that video ID

[shrewd fog]

got a good capture of the connecting screen, 🤷‍♂️

[fresh quiver]

good voice record 😄

[shrewd fog]

hahaha whoops! 😆

[sour needle]

server is down😢

[shrewd fog]

i got in after awhile, just had to wait ~6 minutes

[bronze wolf]

with the servers being kinda toast, wanted to catch up on things, been outta the loop since they solved 0v0aurum

what's the easiest way to catch up?

[cold heart]

i think watching RockhoundBlacks recent uploads its probably the best way

as a basic summary since (just before) 2.4.0...

• we got this password page for the next level: https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3
• we solved the Dolphin EE, and found the last WR
• and now, we are trying to find the three-headed monkey on Monaco

[bronze wolf]

oh that's a wonderful lil summary, ty very much

[sour needle]

has someone found out what this code on the shoes mean?

[bronze wolf]

reading through the final WR find makes me wanna pull my hair out - i was obsessed with the hospital and walked past it soooo many times, holy smokes

[cold heart]

yeah it was incredibly freeing that it was finally found... but also a little frustrating where it was found lol

im pretty sure one of the spawn points is very close to it as well, just you never turn around to look up at the sign

i, and others where obsessed with breaking ceiling tiles at one point as well, but somehow missed or broke it lmao 😅

[cold heart]

no idea sorry 😬

[bronze wolf]

so it's basically 3hm hunt time it seems - oh boy

[lime kindle]

We definitely need more eyes on Monaco

[cold heart]

3HM has been a drag the last few weeks, explored so many ideas, and scoured so much of the map, but not even a crumb

[bronze wolf]

i do find it interesting that the dolphin ee seemingly got insta solved once people ran private matches - yet this lil monkey is as elusive as ever

[lime kindle]

Was it though? I joined after the dolphin but iirc Rob had to give the hint of the sunset to people

[bronze wolf]

and i swear some days i never see monaco anyways

[lime kindle]

Yeah that's a big issue, without private lobbies it's hard to play on there and check out stuff in piece

[bronze wolf]

i think you're right about that actually, but comparatively to most other solves, that was "instant" lol

[cold heart]

we solved the dolphins like 2-3 days after we knew it existed

[bronze wolf]

that's like lightning fast in TFEE world, lordy

[cold heart]

which was when the lvl3 activation page was revealed a few days before 2.4

[hard forge]

yeah...
here is the live reaction when we found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

[cold heart]

apparently it was aways there since season 2 though just we didnt know

[bronze wolf]

correct me if i'm wrong here, but the 3hm triggers/assets/whatever got added in 2.4.0?

[cold heart]

the hints about sunset where given before we knew about the dolphin existing

[hard forge]

again @cold heart ?

[bronze wolf]

this made me smile, just a bunch of happy egg hunters lol

[cold heart]

i have a monkey brain, i see yt link - i click

[lime kindle]

Ah gotcha ^^

[hard forge]

yes...9 things were added in 2.4.0 related to 3HM. We don't know what those 9 "things" are.
7 of them are supposed to be easy to find.

[bronze wolf]

oh so nothing monkey related was added? interresting...

[cold heart]

our main problem is we dont know what is and isnt related to the 3HM, and we are kinda starved on pointers/ theory validations

so we have been trying almost everything and anything

well thats not entirely true... we know pointers like its to do with reflection for example, or turning around

and it has some time of day, and or astronomical connection,
Rob has also given a few Monkey Island related quotes

(plz correct me if im wrong 🙏 )

[bronze wolf]

wicked, i feel a whole lot more oriented than i did like 20 minutes ago, rip to all my teammates when monaco rolls around

[cold heart]

we do know it was on all maps at one point in time, excluding the practice range (#easter-eggs message), and before sys$horizon was added

but you probably where here for that >.<

[bronze wolf]

that's was literally when i was last really active in the hunt - that silly goldegg was driving me nuts

think it got solved like a week after i took a break lol

[hard forge]

Did you find the VM link @bronze wolf

[bronze wolf]

i have not

[sacred bane]

This is confusing. Is this a typo?

I believe Rob said 17 things added, 9 for 3HM, 7 being easier than 2

[hard forge]

yes. there is a typo in "2.4.0"

let me fix that

[dusk veldt]

Mustve been in refference to the tiny easter egg or? When you die youre a small statue and we have gotten alot of tiny ”hints” #1211002564015824906 message

[cold heart]

yes this, #easter-eggs message

worth adding this, if we are talking about that quote too: #easter-eggs message

Dread: 3 hints per head
Rob: YES... well played

[hard forge]

Could be 9 clues

3 per head

[dusk veldt]

Could it be dying then? Or the kill cam? Or perhaps the ”coining” part

[hard forge]

#1211002564015824906 message

Ryzzer put it perfectly.

[snow walrus]

i still believe this was a joke 😂

[cold heart]

i was just about to say

it does read a little sarcastically, right? but im not too sure if Rob would do that to us lol

[snow walrus]

also he didn't eye

[dusk veldt]

Given the context most likely he was yes

That is the last time we saw Rob yes?

[cold heart]

if the spreadsheet is up to date, 05/04/2024
#easter-eggs message

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message

[sacred bane]

I think I marked Rob's last helpful 3HM hint being Apr 10th

[cold heart]

oh im dum, i read yes.. as eyes

we have defo seem Rob more recent than what i said lol, i linked the last EYES

[fresh quiver]

we have seen rob after the last eyes. Last response from rob was on 12th april

[cold heart]

yeah

[sharp flame]

Rest in peace #official-art

it was walleye, caught 5 of them and they’re gonna be dinner next week 😳

[tired bridge]

Saw a stand in vegas out of bounds called Rob's, has that have anything to do with anything yet?

[dusk veldt]

Yeah Robs wrist bands, its just him franchising nothing to worry ab(but no it is potentially something of interest also lifted in the Wiki)

[hasty anvil]

The last time Rob didn't interact with us for so long was because we were so close with the password, maybe we were already close

[hard forge]

"The silent treatment"

[snow walrus]

He isn't active either

They are busy

[dusk veldt]

That was during the S2 launch though, i doubt it. We know Lore wise things are heating up could be because they have alot of work to do on future big updates

Or hes just grown tired of us😔

[fossil axle]

Sounds about right

[sharp flame]

Behind you

[snow walrus]

Nah that wont get 👀 -_-

There is no 3HM behind me im sure..

[sick osprey]

Found some easter eggs....

[fossil axle]

You are correct

They are indeed, Easter eggs

[lapis moat]

Has Rob said anything in here since they dropped the Anti-CNS swat team skin? Since Rob sorta represents CNS in a weird way, could it be that he's not talking because he is theatrically trapped in by VAIIYA?

[alpine junco]

monkey

not behind you

[unkempt dune]

I've been trying to think of new stuff 3HM-related, but I haven't succeeded yet

[unkempt dune]

yeah.. it's beside you

like a good ol' pal

Here's a thought. What if we tried turning when hearing the chicken sound ee after opening a door?

thought about that after reading this part of one of Guybrush's memoirs:

Oh, why do I torture myself like this? I might as well wish for some chicken and a big mug of grog for all the good it will do me.

All maps do have doors

[quaint stream]

Rob hasn't spoken in ages.

I wonder if that's Arc Raiders soon

[unkempt dune]

here's an interesting quote about El Pollo Diablo from MI:

El Pollo Diablo, the Giant Demon Chicken! Tall as a man and twice as powerful, his massive drumsticks propel him through the dark jungle with ease. No one has seen the Beast, but on the eve of the full moon... ...his blood-curdling squawk can be heard from every corner of this wretched island. In the dark of night, he roosts patiently... watching... waiting... for the one day...He roams the island, exacting terrible vengeance on those who would capture and eat his smaller brethren

the duck inflatable on Monaco is large.. and it was a spooky chicken last October
