easter-eggs

[tidal forge]

So needs 3 of us

[wise iris]

ok

[plucky cedar]

at the house one

[tidal forge]

ok im at mine

im recording

[plucky cedar]

I'm livestreaming lol

[tidal forge]

When we ready?

@wise iris

[wise iris]

reqdy

[tidal forge]

OK

Go

[plucky cedar]

nothing?

[wise iris]

nothing

[tidal forge]

same

audio a little odd

but no idea how you can make anything of iit

[wise iris]

yea

audio changes

nvm it's the classic demat audio

[plucky cedar]

audio is entirely different

[tidal forge]

yep

and... does your demat screen go coloured?

[thin perch]

I'm going to try mimicking the exact loadout of when the clip was recorded

[tidal forge]

I think these 3 audios need overlaying

[plucky cedar]

https://clips.twitch.tv/ProtectiveLitigiousCheetahOptimizePrime-qldwvqmLmW09e8V1

https://clips.twitch.tv/YummyColdbloodedPonyPlanking-IheaGorLgyZi2PDO

https://clips.twitch.tv/CallousLaconicMushroomWow-GvvYjpiFm9AjcRXy

3 audio clips for the demats

[tidal forge]

Good work, i just did same thing but to my local pc lol

[plucky cedar]

3rd 1 consists of a dolphen a cashout starting and a monkey sound

[tidal forge]

I'll see if they match yours

Agreed

[fresh quiver]

thank you

[tidal forge]

There 100% is extra noises in the Demat of the 3 Monaco glitches

[plucky cedar]

Hearing a soundtrack here anyone make up what it is?
https://clips.twitch.tv/CuriousShortPartridgePogChamp-AYbd7TqxMyXtNL4w

[tidal forge]

Oh mate i've not noticed that!!!

i dont get that...

[mossy ermine]

You make the generators spark in the rain/fog on monaco

[tidal forge]

Yeh you can blow it up

[mossy ermine]

Oh?

[tidal forge]

See my video

[mossy ermine]

Shoot I didn't see that thanks.

[tidal forge]

No worries buddy.

@plucky cedar there's alot of audio things going on in this map...

[fallen jasper]

your nickname is troublesome to say it out loud lol

[tidal forge]

haha yeh its my twitter/x handle. @cun

[plucky cedar]

ah ok that's a good sign for audio clips

[tidal forge]

@plucky cedar

that Cache JUST spawned in

nothing on the screen

[plucky cedar]

oh

[tidal forge]

I recorded it

[fallen jasper]

did someone managed to find out how to trigger the monkey noises?

[tidal forge]

Nope

[thin perch]

does the sr spraypaint have anything to do with it??

[tidal forge]

not sure.

[thin perch]

also have we confirmed what time of day it is?

[tidal forge]

Nope. We know very little info confirmed like that.

[thin perch]

hm ok

[daring bluff]

#1217498821563514951 message 👀

[plucky kettle]

iirc rob said some are time/solar operated

[plucky cedar]

Cun go to the corner of the park not the house or sr for the glitch

sadly

[tidal forge]

Yeh

The other has disapeared the house one

Wall is blown up mind.

[plucky cedar]

yeah I blew it up with barrel I got an idea

[tidal forge]

Which is interesting... the other two are not destroyable.

[plucky cedar]

use dematerializer while we destroy the wall

leaving it intact

[tidal forge]

yeh next reload of map?

[plucky cedar]

sure

[tidal forge]

OK with that oen destroyed, i demat sr and then went for the remaining, it sounded different to me?

Yeh no sure, planes and stuff flying over is a pain

[plucky cedar]

The banner got smaller

[tidal forge]

Whuich Banner?

[plucky cedar]

hmm what if we can destroy each one

[tidal forge]

New group starting. ETA 2 mins for next hunt.
I26Y - Solo Bank-it Monaco

[plucky kettle]

gonna join

[tidal forge]

No worries, will wait for you buddy

[daring bluff]

i meant that rob said he might be able to play today... anyone know the status of that

[tidal forge]

Starting.

[plucky kettle]

do we have a vc or something for it

[tidal forge]

No, but we can start one if needed.

[plucky kettle]

👍

[tidal forge]

@plucky cedar im on way to house

[plucky cedar]

well that's sad lol

[tidal forge]

yeh nothing lol

lets try now you go SR and i'll go rock

[plucky cedar]

house blows up and the glitch disappears under demat

[tidal forge]

and now theres only 2

demat each at same time?

its still there

you can't see it

[plucky kettle]

were the statues not indestructable?

[tidal forge]

Some are some arent

[plucky cedar]

the glitch is still there but can't see it

[tidal forge]

So that's a bug if anything?

This one has start deposit on

other time it was blank

it was a cave one

[plucky cedar]

https://clips.twitch.tv/CheerfulSmilingMangetoutKippa-SPNnTFqhlHuZmaQr

[tidal forge]

Yeh im seeing same you can make it go orange if you demat it in that state.

We're claerly missing something here...

[plucky cedar]

14 squares in the glitch

[tidal forge]

We can't destoy the others though.

[thin perch]

pretty sure there's some code hidden in the audio

[tidal forge]

yeh we are too

How many fountains in monaco?

[plucky cedar]

looks like 3

[tidal forge]

One in park, one in pocket, one outside coffee shop, one in main square at top

Unless i missed one

is there a casiono in monaco?

[plucky cedar]

there is a water fountain in the center near the chapel

[tidal forge]

yeh thats the one next to cofee shop

Honeslty, feel like the amount of hours i've put in for not to have found anything on just monaco, is mental.

Dematting everything for hidden stuff

[plucky cedar]

very true

[tidal forge]

only thing i've found that doesn't make sense is the bushes that dont break.

Seen here

[tidal forge]

Annoying how i can't post images here.

The cache with a blank screen was odd ...

https://imgur.com/a/g4yVshV

@plucky cedar it was blank, like black.

I have it on video, all 4 of them black,.

Added a working one for comparison

I was in the cave when it spawned.

[green scroll]

Play the glitch spot audio in reverse

[tidal forge]

Good shout.

Im just looking over all of them now.

Just uploading the "blank cache" video. I watched it back, None of the commentary states a new cacheout has appeared. It just appears unannounced.

The Puzzle thing of Mirror or Reflection might be backwards actually @green scroll

[green scroll]

Download audible and reverse the audio lol

Where is the reference to reflection again

[tidal forge]

Rob posted lyrics to a song, "Part of the Puzzle" and the cover is a reflection.

[green scroll]

Ah

Yeah I tried looking in the fountains, the water is super reflective

But nothing really seemed different, from all angles

[tidal forge]

yeh same, puddles are like so hard to make sense of things from

Video of blank cacheout in Monaco Caves:- @plucky cedar you stream the same thing? Was it blank to you too https://youtu.be/HY5Za3Oxjfs

I was listening to the game in the caves when that happened.

[plucky cedar]

I believe it was, but not sure

[tidal forge]

Did you reocrd it?

If not this might be part of an egg.

[plucky cedar]

I'm sure I did, still streaming it would be in the vod

[tidal forge]

OK sound. We can check it when you're done 🙂

If the cache spawning when someone is in that cave and its black again, its replicatable. So we know its a coded thing.

Also, the invasion was on, and its raining... This was literally only minutes after you heard the audio next to the palm tree.

[plucky cedar]

yes it was blank, black screen

https://clips.twitch.tv/HeadstrongDoubtfulLarkDerp-kDMGgGSagJr6T0xK

Theres a clip from my pov

[tidal forge]

OK that's not a client side bug then, its a server pushed entry. Because we both got the same thing

That has EE written all over it

Need someone to confirm replication now.

Given Rob has said "Cave in..." a few times, and now this? If anyone can replicate it, that would be great.

@plucky cedar in your vod, what was the TOD stuff? Foggy? Standard?

Actually looks like Storm, Standard

Wish i had pressed TAB or recorded earlier.

[tidal forge]

Reversed all the videos. Nothing more than the same thing that was forwards. Only other thing i can think is to layer them ontop of one another... which is a ballache with the ambient game noise going on.

[tidal forge]

Even reverved this of yours mate, nothing, but this does interest me somewhat... this was moments before the "blank" cache thing i got.

[tidal forge]

Have the numbers scribed into Monaco's Pagola been linked yet?
"125", "512", "51.2"

Only relationships I can see is both 125 and 512 are perfect cubes.
125 is 5 to the power of 3, and 512 is 8 to the power of 3

3 being a number we're seeing alot in Monaco, 3 headed monkeys, 3 glitchs that are located in the map, currently we have 3 different graffatti locations.

Also @timid solstice made 825 degrees (melting point of aragonite, a crystallized form of calcium carbonate).
Followed by @pure loom who recently linked the 3rd graffiti 1339c back to the melting point of calcium carbonate.

51.2 x 10 is 512, this might be another temperature melting point like the other connections. As some Aluminum are often metled at 512 degress... (Not specifically always that value though)

Oh shit!!!!

[lyric stratus]

what?

[tidal forge]

Wood when burnt at 512 degrees...
"At 512°C, wood is transformed into charcoal, leaving behind a carbon-rich residue that is used as fuel or in various industrial processes."
Another carbon

Thats a significant temp for wood.

"Therefore, 512 degrees Celsius is a significant temperature for wood as it represents an active phase in both pyrolysis and combustion processes, where wood transitions from a solid state to producing volatile compounds and ultimately burning or forming charcoal."

I didnt know that about wood! Thanks google! 😄

[cloud wyvern]

sup gang, solve any puzzle lately

[tidal forge]

Scroll back, had some interesting things happen, Not solutions but certainly interesting.

Blacked out cachebox i had today was odd.

@plucky cedar had some radio signal outside the catherdal too

[cloud wyvern]

i dipped a little after level 3 was unlocked. been catching up on threads.

[tidal forge]

Im fairly new here, so nice to pickup with some of you veterans.

[cloud wyvern]

probably won't be coming back to help yet because it's bad for my mental health (i become hyperfixated)

lol i'm no veteran i barely have made any meaningful contributions

[lyric stratus]

same but im in lore

[cloud wyvern]

just a lot of charlie_always_sunny_corkboard dot jpg when i'm involved

i would make a big fuss about shit being hidden extremely intricately in the hint images but could never provide results. it was very helpful.

[tidal forge]

OK digging more... 125degree's can make wood fire resistant in some instances.

For those wondering what im on about, see this link :- https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Monaco_Secrets#Pergola_Numbers

A lot of "carbon" references though in monaco.... with the graffiti and wood....

[tardy idol]

I might be late to this but I found these three glitched spots on Monaco https://imgur.com/a/d1aPdfn

[plucky kettle]

was thought to be the timber number that you get on timber from what I last recall. I dont know if the opinion has changed since

[dawn elm]

the fact that those we're there since the last few weeks of S1

[tidal forge]

I'm swaying now towards their grades of protection, 125 are fire ratings on wood i believe. too.
"The UL Class 125 rating means that when exposed to external temperatures of over 1700°, the internal temperature of the safe will not exceed 125° for at least two hours
125° is the temperature at which digital media is ruined, so product with this class of listing is designed to protect records stored digitally such as backup tapes, data cartridges, CD's, diskettes, and microfiche."

Again could be a link from that to other things, but the carbon thing I mentioned earlier aligns with the graffiti EE's that have been mentioned and confirmed by Rob.

[sonic musk]

The numbers can also be found on the pagola in the rooftop bar on Vegas, so if it is EE related, it's not a Monaco-specific EE

[kindred sphinx]

Didn't know there's an easter egg channel

[tidal forge]

Yeh will be the same texture pack for that too. If you're a texture designer, you dont add stuff like that on unless theres a reason for it. It doesn't make sense to me. Has to be for a reason.

[tidal forge]

Welcome along.

Checkout #egg-hunt-onboarding @kindred sphinx that'll bring you up to speed.

[lone wave]

Oh boy, welcome and… good luck

[wise iris]

Everytime i see a new persson i remenber that in the history of that egg hunt ive been here for only a month and i already have to go tell my doctor that i dream about monkeys

[pure loom]

Wait until you've been here for 20 months - you think your doctor is a monkey

[fresh quiver]

i need to inform you that it doesnt even take that long 🥲

T3 was enough 😂

[lyric stratus]

me?

i get called t3

[fresh quiver]

Level 2 Tier 3

[lyric stratus]

oh

[turbid tinsel]

how many foutains are on monaco?

[sharp sentinel]

3? Pocket park, Royal plaza, and the one near the centre

[turbid tinsel]

just brainstorming, curious if the fountains have any relation to the 3HM. i know in the curse of the monkey island game there are statues that kinda act as fountains that you have to do stuff with

iirc

[candid kraken]

why are there sometimes dead body holograms when people die

[hard forge]

bug.

[candid kraken]

are you sure

[inland hemlock]

yep, it bug

[candid kraken]

really not lore nothing

[inland hemlock]

nope just a 🐛

[candid kraken]

but why is it a hologram

and not a bug like thing

i feel it would be the whole body

[inland hemlock]

#easter-eggs message here's the whole body, hologram usually happens when dashing

[candid kraken]

oh i did kill him while he was dashing

[inland hemlock]

there's actually a death animation but you can't really see it well because the body becomes coins but sometimes the dash effect persists and so that happens

[candid kraken]

they should keep this bug in the game

its kinda cool[

[inland hemlock]

it's pretty funny seeing a fella sleeping on the floor after being annihilated

[candid kraken]

they should make it seem likes it its "CNS's doing"

with a glitch affect or something

[sharp sentinel]

"Sleeping"

[inland hemlock]

roooo mimimimimi

[sharp sentinel]

Or honk shoooo

[inland hemlock]

that too indeed

[alpine junco]

4

[tardy idol]

pretty sure I head that too in the same spot

[tardy idol]

I did notice you can use the dematerializer on the white cubes.

[tidal forge]

Yeh today @wise iris @plucky cedar and myself all did a conbined effort to do them all at the same time. nothing happened.

All Demat'd at same time.

I've also recorded all the audio's from each of the 3 white cube things, and reversed the audio's, nothing similar.

One thing we did notice is @plucky cedar had a radio like signal playing a song over when he was next to the palm tree...

and then shortly after that I was in the cave (save round) and I got a blank cacheout... nothing on the screen...

[tidal forge]

Soundtrack

[tidal forge]

Blank Cacheout, @plucky cedar streamed it too, his cacheout screen was also blank

[tardy idol]

I save that in the cave as well wth black screen

[tidal forge]

I've just tried to replicate it several times. I can't seem to do it

Even lobbied the same conditions we had... which was Fog | 2pm | Standard issue

[tardy idol]

has anyone tried to use the data reshaper on the anomalies?

[tidal forge]

I think i tried yeh...

Can anyone tell me what this noise was? Honestly, I dont recognise it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf9g6qQJyVQ

I'm on the server on my own when that happened.

[inland hemlock]

i think there's a bug where random orbital lasers fire off

i have a video of constant orbital lasers falling down near people when there was no active event

might've been that maybe?

[tidal forge]

I thought i had unlocked something! Like when you did in Tomb Raider 2, after finding a hidden door lol!

If it is a bug, be great to get it confirmed,

[inland hemlock]

unfortunate, tho thanks for searching a bunch

[tardy idol]

i had private match using second computer and I had same thing happen during rain where I heard explosions or cannons in the distant, but i was on solo

[tardy idol]

so had the cash out spawn again but this time it was turned on. https://imgur.com/a/G8irk9m

[tidal forge]

Ok I’m interested now that this is a thing. Did you use the blank cacheout? How did you accomplish it spawning.

Secondly Rob keeps saying “open your eyes” to which I’m sure it something like using the Thermal vision so see things… I could be wrong massively wrong though

[tardy idol]

It only spawn ones with blank screen, have no clue how I got it to spawn was random honestly. And no I didn’t have anything on my to deposit before I saw it and it vanished

[tidal forge]

Exactly my issue, it caught me off guard too. I want to see what happens when it’s used, hence why I’m trying to replicate it.
If it’s a bug then ok, but I don’t think it is… I think it’s part of the Easter Eggs.

I’m glad we streamed and recorded it happening. It was definitely a server side event because it’s on both my stream and @plucky cedar stream.
The code for the cache being black would have been different to a cache being lit normally.

Then the clues Rob gave where weather and time of day depending. I had it happen on fog | 2pm | standard issue

[tidal forge]

Looking at your screen shots, the blacked out cacheout is stood in water, again this matches what i've found, and believe is one of the criteera for this happening.

I'm now swaying towards this being an easter-egg of some sort.

@tardy idol The screenshot you posted of it off is on a video/stream, Can you replay that stream and tell me the map conditions please, Im guessing from what i've tested over the last 20 hours of Monaco private games i've played that your conditions will be either Fog, Storm and Standard Issue, Possibly Afternoon, Dusk or Night?

[lucid swallow]

It's not easter though? I normally get chocolate eggs.

[junior thicket]

Uhhh

Mate

It's just a used cashout in bank it

How is this an Easter egg?

(or an unused cashout)

[vale igloo]

Kind of related but I killed someone the other day in ranked, and I saw them fall on to their knees before turning in to coins. Freaked me out lol never seen that before

I dont know why my discord scrolled up 3 weeks in the past lmaooo

i thought that was a recent message

oh well

[eager hare]

Hey there folk, iirc, there was a collection of hints to the workings of the EE's, given by rob, like all passwords are lowercase, all images have clues, etc., I seem to have read them somewhere either on a doc or spreadsheet, can anyone help with finding it?

[tidal forge]

I didnt use it... it was black...

I assume you've not watched the videos of this.

It's either a bug, or its an EE.

If its a bug, then fair, but if its an EE and we need to put money in the cache to activate it,which we haven't done to confirm, this is why im trying to replicate it.

[junior thicket]

Isn't it unused and will be used later in the map?

[tidal forge]

No, it spawned right next to me.

[eager hare]

It seems to be an active cashout with an unloaded texture to me

[tidal forge]

I just didnt have money on my character to test it.

[tidal forge]

Absolutely possible (bug), but either it needs confirming by the team or it needs replicating and testing.

[tidal forge]

See my video

[fresh quiver]

Good morning.
Tbf I just woke up. But give me 3-5 minutes to start my PC.

@eager hare this?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=1143525351

[tidal forge]

Can we get "animals" added to specualitve themes for Tier 3? We have Rabbits, Monkeys and Dolpins. Seems a logical link.

[eager hare]

@fresh quiver no, there was a list somewhere of all of Rob's suggestions and guidelines for the EE

[inland hemlock]

i linked it recently, btw that's hilarious lmao

[fresh quiver]

Themes (WIP) is not maintained probably i think?

I only know that "Rob Message Dump" & "Rob Eyes" are atleast maintained 😅

might add it to padlet

[fresh quiver]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/THE_FINALS_Easter_Egg_Hunt

[eager hare]

There was a collection of messages that had info like this: #easter-eggs message

@fresh quiver 👆

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

[eager hare]

Not just the password requirements, there were some more helpful hints

I am trying to make a list of general EE rules as well as verified suggestions for the hunt

[fresh quiver]

I know exactly what you mean. But have the same problem as you. Cant find the correct one 😂

[eager hare]

See, this is why we need an agreed upon format of documentation

[fresh quiver]

looking at 6 different locations of documentation
yeeeah 😂

[tidal forge]

Every time something has come up recently, I've been shown a new source of info, spreadsheet, URL, wiki, image, its like... oh man! 🙈

[eager hare]

Oh, and the discord message links and various threads too

[fresh quiver]

Spreadsheet -> used mostly for message dumps & rob eyes
google-doc Documentation -> was used prior Level 2 Tier 1F
padlet -> used to visually find connections and clues as visuals.
Threads are problably like working groups.
wiki we mainly put solved things there i guess?

did i missed something 😂

[eager hare]

pretty accurate

but still, tedious to search

Also, where can i get the Nama-Tama Easter egg hunter image and is there a Level 2 completed Nama-Tama?

[dawn elm]

Hey, I heard that there are bodies of contestants spawning around the maps. Anyone knows where are the locations ?

[cold heart]

not locations, its a bug when a teammate disconnects during the load-in screen

so it happens wherever they should have spawned in - they are just a ragdoll kinda thing

i think ive seen it happen a couple times when people have died to, but im not sure how thats replicated

[tidal forge]

Are we taking about this? https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1cw6hmb/hologram_bodies/

[dawn elm]

yes

[cold heart]

oooh that... thats been in the game a while.. #easter-eggs message

thought you where refering to this: #easter-eggs message

[jade citrus]

this?

[eager hare]

@jade citrus yes, tysm, can you drop me a link?

Ah, they are part of the wiki

[jade citrus]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/THE_FINALS_Easter_Egg_Hunt#Rules yeah scroll down a bit

[fallen jasper]

I've got news

assets out of bounds CAN be destroyed

Specifically Monaco

The black speakers on the huge pillars where the lights are can be destroyed with bullets

[cold heart]

yep ^^ a lot of things can be, try shooting the stadium speakers on the big pillers when you get chance some time

ah you beat me to it lol

[fallen jasper]

Lol yeah, im thinking this is some trigger of some kind

[silk flax]

Anyone running a private lobby on Monaco?

[fallen jasper]

I can run one rn

[silk flax]

Bet

[fallen jasper]

AG86

[cold heart]

yeah i do think there might be something similar to the Exploding Ship EE on BF4

but obviously different

[fallen jasper]

anyone tried shooting at the planes flying?

[tidal forge]

Not tried that yet!!!

RPG would probably be better.

"Goodness Gracious, Great balls of fire!"

Shoud really do this, then it sets off the "Maverick TopGun Event", Planes do a tower buzz on the map.

Fly by close to the crane lol

[ionic swallow]

Just tried doesn’t do anything 😦

[cold heart]

wdym by, "doesnt do anything" 🤔 if you shoot it enough times it breaks, was found a while ago - but i brought it up as Ares was mentioning similar things could be broken

[fallen jasper]

Damn nothing yet

[fallen jasper]

The top ones can also be destroyed, the triple ones

[ionic swallow]

No I mean that breaking all of them doesn’t change anything else in the map

[cold heart]

ah okay i see, yeah youre right - breaking them all doesnt do anything afaik

[ionic swallow]

Both the top and middle ones

[cold heart]

TIL you actually cant break them all in the Tutorial, because some of the invisible walls block bullets

[silk flax]

Wish we knew if anything involved the outside

[fallen jasper]

considering the dolphins were out of bounds, I'd assume more EEs do as well

[silk flax]

Rob also did mention time of day could affect, all we've had was sunny till now which is fog

And rain

[tidal forge]

I'm positive the Monaco black screen cacheout is a fog/storm EE or bug because I've only seen it twice now both times with fog... im quietly waiting to see if Rob or anyone else confirms my previous videos findings.

Only reason i know this is a weather dependant thing, is I've tried to replicate, with no luck. Then @tardy idol shows me that they've done it (in a stream of theirs) and I can see that weather is causing a water logged cave. Which ony happens in the Fog/Storm TOD

[fallen jasper]

Is it me or are the generators indestructible now

[tidal forge]

You smash onces, they spark and turn off

After time they turn back on

So you smash a second time and they stay off.

I've already run around the map and smashed them all twice disabling the entire power on the map

See video

[cold heart]

what graphics settings do you use? It looks like youre on ultra here... but obviously you have that weird lighting mist
I know lower graphics settings use baked texture lighting, but i think they also have baked volume lights too??

[tidal forge]

Epic (top setting?)

[cold heart]

kinda supprised to see that on high settings (if you are) 🤔

very weird..

[tidal forge]

Yeh its on epic

I thought reflections wise its best to have it set to the top one, for the 3HM crap lol

When i play ranked, i play on low, standard FPS player thing.

[cold heart]

i dont think EEs would be locked behind graphics settings tbh.. we have confirmation it isnt in cube map reflections atleast

[tidal forge]

No i dont either, but still

If i get a EE and record it, i want it to look good 😄

[silk flax]

Thinking hitting all generators with red canisters to cause sparks at the same time but might not

[fallen jasper]

It'd be funny if lots of us actually saw 3HM but its so fast nobody realised it

[tidal forge]

Theres like 8 or 9 gennys

[silk flax]

Shoot only saw 5

Missed some I see

[tidal forge]

Two secnds i'll make a map for you

[cold heart]

i wouldnt be surprised, I guarantee all the WRs where found long before we documented and officially found them

lots of people will see things like that, graffitis and what not, and think nothing of it, miss it.. or just be like "oh thats cool, anyways"

[cold heart]

we actually already have one https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/

[silk flax]

Oh sick!

[cold heart]

oh this is missing the one in pocket park... this app still has some improvements ehhe

there are 9 in total

[tidal forge]

That's sweet! Nice one!

Its missing a generator though

Infact 2

[cold heart]

two? 🤔 only once missing i could tell was pocket park

[tidal forge]

Yeh there's one in the back yard of a house

its in the shopping district.

Pretty much next to the SH

[silk flax]

Yo

[cold heart]

oh yeah i remember now youre right, i think a vault spawns like right next to it sometimes

[silk flax]

Hitting generators with red canisters in sunny dont produce sparks

[tidal forge]

No you need water events, like fog or storm TOD

[silk flax]

My B

[cold heart]

its a common misconception dw.. just treat the practice range as always raining

[silk flax]

Still wondering if hitting them all at once will trigger something next

[fallen jasper]

Rob said every EE except one can be visible by just 1 player

[silk flax]

Did not know that

[tidal forge]

Just made you an updated Generator map.

[fallen jasper]

Don't know how true is that tho, the dolphin one needed 3 players to activate

[tidal forge]

Thought it was 7?

[silk flax]

Yea same here

[tidal forge]

One person on each letter

[fallen jasper]

Yeah maybe i missremember

[silk flax]

Did we ever get anything major other than the reflection clue

[fallen jasper]

That they are shy

[tidal forge]

"Cetacea"

7 letters

[fallen jasper]

Also something along the lines of look left and right

[tidal forge]

I put a theory up this morning.

[tidal forge]

Read on from there, because i go into the 1-2 people thing, and not having a screen shot etc.

#1211002564015824906 message

The lovers statue (as i call it) is 2 people. The other locations of monkeys could be that where only 1 person statue is located.

Hence "1-2 people have seen them but not screenshot or captured them" as they can't as statues.

I think his entire message is one big crypto clue.

[vale igloo]

very buggy but its cool

[cold heart]

i think the EE hunters who where developing/maintaining it are busy with other things right now

but hopefully we will get some improvements at some point ^^

[dull marsh]

Yes 😦

[cold heart]

always lurking

[tame brook]

Has anything ever been tried with a flash grenade?

to not hear or see anything for a moment?

[tidal forge]

I've put smokes, flashes, toxic gas in all the area's several times. Nothing happened.

[silk flax]

gets random hit marker lol

[tidal forge]

I've spent over 24 hours now on just monaco in private lobbies trying to find EE's

[dull marsh]

Don't burn yourself out lol

[tidal forge]

I did 6 hours with everyone here yesterday to see if having extra players helped, That's when I got the black cachout.

[tidal forge]

Naa we're all good 😉 i get a buzz of this stuff. Wish i had found it earlier.

Just sad i couldn't help you all previously.

Given how long 3HM has been out I think if i can help with that, it'd be super cool for you guys.

Even my gf is helping, she woke up last night like... "Did you try this?!" 😂

[vale igloo]

Did we end up finding all of the white rabbits on seoul? Or are some left

[tidal forge]

Yeh all 5 located.

[cold heart]

lmaooo, my partner is just like "yes yes honey, you find those easter eggs"

I do the same/similar when they talk about Yugioh though 🤣

[tidal forge]

Good relationship to have when the other person cares.

Even if its something silly, that validates the relationship

[fallen jasper]

We need a post where everyone single thing Rob has said is in there

[tidal forge]

We have that

[fallen jasper]

How can i find it

[tidal forge]

I'll link you

[cold heart]

if you search from:rob_embark in:easter-eggs youll get all his messages here

but we also have a spreadsheet that gets updated every so often - its in the pinned comments

this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit#gid=411951774

[tidal forge]

Beat me too it lol

[fallen jasper]

Sweet thanks, kinda new to reddit so i dont know all the uses yet

[cold heart]

sorry ahha

[tidal forge]

There's another one too

that shows you the context

Specifically for 3HM - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YQdMbl_mD9UzELhTSwCoDyjRj-jh0xGS77_XmVPWUvA/edit#gid=0

I've been through everything lol.

Everyone has been super helpful

Normally you'd get someone like "f-off n00b, leave it to the pr0's"

but honestly, fresh eyes and different idea's can always launch life into a challenge.

Everyone has been really cool in here. ❤️

If anything my task tonight is to reload Moncao until i get "Fog | 2PM | Standard Issue" I'm then going to try to get the Black Cachebox thing to show.

[cold heart]

yeah id be really interested to see that, never seen it before

[tidal forge]

In person? or on video i can show you my video

[cold heart]

both!

[tidal forge]

Here.

[tidal forge]

@plucky cedar confirmed it (same game) that he also had it, so its server side not client side.

[plucky cedar]

Ah ok that's good news I guess lol

[tidal forge]

Yep[

Means there's a sync between players

[cold heart]

oh sorry i must have skipped past this when catching up - thats so weird 🤔 i never hang around the cashout long enough to have noticed before

[tidal forge]

EEs need this

[tidal forge]

Yep, i also have a few theories

but i need to make it happen again

[tidal forge]

Also @tardy idol has had it,

Hes linked a screen grab from a video, I've asked for confirmation on TOD, but he's not replied yet.

I can tell though from the floor its FOG or STORM

Theres more water on the floor in the caves

I can show you later a comparison

I believe this is something... Maybe a bug or a possible EE

I posted all my findings over the last few days, but i've not yet had confirmation that im on the right track.

I might not get any... lol

[cold heart]

tbh Rob hasnt confirmed or denied anything in a while, so i wouldnt have high hopes

it would be nice though

[tidal forge]

Even a 👀 would help

I'm going off the "Cave in...." messages he said too.

Again im not gonna @ him for a confirmation, I'll either keep searching or he will post something.

The entire point of this isn't for him to tell us lol

Hype/Fun/Community.

Just need to replicate the black screen cachebox.

[cold heart]

🙏 gl, and yeah we have a lot on our plate as is tbh

[tidal forge]

Absolutely! 🙂

[tidal forge]

Just noticed, Regarding this black screen thing i keep banging on about.
We're all medium class with dematerializer.... @plucky cedar @tardy idol

We all have $0 too

Gonna run some lobby's later.

[fallen jasper]

there's a EE that has something to do with coins/cashing out

[tidal forge]

Where can i find this info? I've not seen it.

[fallen jasper]

Cant remember the channel, however Rob hinted about it by saying something along the lines of "cashed out so many times" or something

[dull marsh]

#easter-eggs message

haha, I know, I was running around today to try to figure out how hard an EE was to activate... but I got coined again, and again, and again...

We have no confirmation as to which EE this is referring to, so take it with a handful of salt

[tidal forge]

So glad custom matches are a thing now though!

[dull marsh]

Hahaha yeah, we used to load in quick cash games and ruin other people's live lmao

[cold heart]

the amount of: join voice chat, leave voice chat spam i used to get...
and i was months late to the party (for the EEs) after launch too

[tidal forge]

Only took 7 lobby cycles to get this

🤞🏻

[hard forge]

Hunters anything new?

[tidal forge]

My 5 year old came onto the other PC and started shooting me, legit... I have had to cycle TODs again, Im already 7 matches in

@proud minnow can you get your Dev's to add TOD selection to private matches? This will stop people like me spawning loads of instances of the game and leaving straight way saving you server costs on new match instances being created. #savingyoumoney

Just hit 20 matches, none of them the right TOD

PC #1 Start custom > copy code > go to PC #2 > join custom > type in code > back to pc #1 > start game > wait for loading screen, See that its not FOG | 2PM | Standard Issue > Quit PC#1 then PC#2.... Repeat process until you get right TOD. 😬

[cold heart]

og that would probably save them a decent amount 😆 the server doesnt shut off afaik even though everyone has left... atleast the private lobby has to be remade anyways

[tidal forge]

Yeh its just a docker container or something similar but still im making a mess on their servers for sure,

.... but my god, if this EE is TOS specific I'm getting RNG'd on the setups... Im up to 27 now.... still not got the right one.

No wonder nobody is finding TOD specific eggs. lol

Wooohooo storm!! ideally wanted FOG, as that's what i've seen it done onm, but i'll take storm!

FOG and STORM are the Rarest (by far!!)
DUSK second rarest
CLEAR NIGHT
SUNNY most common by a long way.

[cold heart]

im pretty sure for now the Dolphins where the only TOD EE

cos it was super obvious that it was... but i might also be huffing copium

[tidal forge]

Its taken me 34 instances to get this TOD

No go on storm.

I think it needs to be FOG now given that's what it was before.

OK "RESTRO INVASION 82" knocks the lights off in the caves when active...

That COULD be why the cacheout went black when it spawned?

[tidal forge]

FINALLY!!!

[tidal forge]

it did it!!!!!

This time though I put money in it!

I'll upload the entire game, so you can see what i did. Then you can skip

100% replicated though,..

Also spotted another thing!

Demat screen also BLANK

When i say this is a TOD thing, it really is, I've tried it on every time of day,
Its HAS to be "FOG | 2PM | Standard Issue"

(video uploading)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXgdb7UPt0

Black Cacheout Replicated.

@plucky cedar I've just replicated it.

Wonder now if im on the wrong game mode...

[tidal forge]

As soon as i went in the cave, my Demat stopped working too.

(as in the screen on the Demat is blank also)

See 1m20seconds on the video.

[naive kernel]

Interestingly it turns back on as you approach the sunlight and cross that shadow barrier, it could be a bug with how fog interacts with the light and cave shade but equally maybe an EE, no way of knowing for sure. The reshaper is another gadget that has the screen on it, mines also turn on once they land + activate, so maybe if the lights turn off that could help?

[tidal forge]

Absolutely, all valid points, I want to test in another game mode, and also by doing other things.

[naive kernel]

Certainly a very odd occurence

[tidal forge]

You could be bang on the money with the Fog + shaders making it not show the screen(s) but it's odd... really odd. I'm swaying towards bug currently.

[naive kernel]

Yeah - I've seen it in a few other games which is why I mention it

[tidal forge]

Im currnely in "Storm | 12PM | Standard Issue" Doing the exact same, but i've demat te other SR glitch.

Im certain it needs to be FOG

[naive kernel]

A thought I had about that video with the monkey sounds, I was thinking of just jumping in and trying out all the map variants sitting at the same location for the duration of the map that person did to see if that's the 'one in the open' that appears

[tidal forge]

No to storm again! yep!

[naive kernel]

Perhaps at a certain game time, I don't believe there was a timer on it

[tidal forge]

100% worth doing this, Now i know TOD absolutely is making a difference to the game.

[tidal forge]

yep! i also noticed a sound "issue" it happens nearly all the time, the rain stops int he tunnel for a second then starts again.

[tidal forge]

I've done plenty of Quality assurance testing with software haha. Can you tell with the things im finding? 😂

[naive kernel]

You don't say?

Actually thinking about it, is the Caves the lowest point of the map or is Construction basement equally low?

[tidal forge]

I "think" construction is lower.

[naive kernel]

Could replicate the shadows and tech turning off underneath there if it's as low, as usually these things get caused by something like that

[tidal forge]

What im going to do now is look for all cacheouts in water...

Im positive the "Puzzle" is a reflextion/puddle now

Rob posted the "Piece of the Puzzle" track.

The cover for it is this...

[tidal forge]

Yeh certainly could be a thing. Hence a "bug" rather than a EE

[tardy idol]

I did notice my demat was off too, I’m just now looking at my recording.

https://medal.tv/clips/2ebpsB5_QLP_mN/vpDSH3rej?invite=cr-MSxGVGUsMjM2Mjk3NTYyLA

seems to be raining and day. sorry I forgot to tab in the clip to find the TOD | Weather

[tidal forge]

Thanks for the URL! I will check it out, and compare now to the 3 times its happened. If i can make this happen somewhere else, possibly that may be a thing too.

You got the original VOD @tardy idol ? Where it shows you the loading screen?

[tardy idol]

sadly no I didnt have my vod running, I try to turn it on and only activade a 15 second clip

[shrewd fog]

oh shit, so we just need to look down at our own reflection to see them i think

[tardy idol]

been trying that lol

so many wet spots

[shrewd fog]

or your reflection in the windows, but it makes so much sense, because then the monkey would techinically be behind you if you're looking at your own reflection

[tidal forge]

Fog and storm TOD is best for water reflections

[shrewd fog]

they're incredibly shy, try standing still for a bit longer while looking at your reflection

[twilit forge]

Robs in 3hm thread rn

They monkeys can be seen by any class, in any gamemode, in any setting, in any map variant, in 1P and 3P... they are currently only Monaco... they have been there for a long time, but first they could only be seen during a specific ToD...

#1211002564015824906 message

[main acorn]

Strange blue lighting instead of usual red

Can this be a easter egg ?

[junior thicket]

Nah I've seen it before it's just a particle effect when you 'break into' the arena

[tidal forge]

This blows the water theory out the park.

And TOD means without the extra water

[naive kernel]

Poor Rob 😂 he's like GET IT CMON GUYS

[south wyvern]

i'm trying... i've been sitting in the garden all days 😭

[thin perch]

What if the sr spray paint means we have to be far away to see them??

Since they're so shy

[silk flax]

I tried looking into the caves from different angles with the sniper and tracking dart with nothing really being any different

[thin perch]

Caves??

[tidal forge]

See my #1211002564015824906 post about spray paints

[thin perch]

Ok but has anybody looked from afar at the area where that clip with the monkey noises was taken??

They're shy, right??

It wouldn't be too far fetched

[tight cloak]

https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/2d2r7A7Ug6i0X0/d1337CC8NUCj?invite=cr-MSw5RUYsMjMzMzE2Mzg2LA

cant embed links i guess 😭

[tidal forge]

Dude, what the hells is that?

[tight cloak]

oh i got this earlier

[unkempt dune]

pretty sure it was red previously, but they changed it to blue recently. They only changed it for terminal attack to my knowledge

[astral solstice]

Has anyone looked into the numbers on the back of the new Dino Head in the shop. I was wondering if that lead to anything.

[sacred bane]

back from vacation. super sad that Hype is missing from the wheel

[twilit forge]

hype was moved to the "expression wheel"

but yes my muscle memory has failed me many times

[inland hemlock]

"hyped up!"
"Let's do this!"
and then there's me "LET'S DEFEND UP THERE!"

[fallen jasper]

Yes I was devastated

Maybe we can get it reversed

You can still access it but it's in an inconvenient spot now

[fallen jasper]

But it requires more input now right? You have to hold T then click left or right click (I forgot)

And now less people will know about it and use it

We should create a petition

[twilit forge]

IDK i use controller and the wheels are just on different dpad buttons

i think

tbh i have no idea what the paddles on the back of my controller are mapped to

[fallen jasper]

Yeah still annoying and less accessible

Unrelated but the default mapping for controller is terrible lol

It always hurts my hands to keep moving and ping at the same time

[twilit forge]

and thats why i have paddles lol

[fallen jasper]

Lol yeah

[twilit forge]

thats literally the reason i bought a paddle kit

this kit was really fun to put together and works well
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CGYN21Y

[fallen jasper]

Oh that's really cool

[twilit forge]

sorry, lets move to off topic 🙂

[fallen jasper]

I have bought a few things from extreme rate before

Oh yeah

[tardy idol]

so idk if the water reflections have anything to do with it. I know there are puddles no matter the weather, however after staring at the puddles I noticed it reflects some things not there in the sky, also the reflections don't always match the area you are in, like being in the oark area and puddles show buildings with signs. Also the puddle reflections show signs that don't change with the signs, or the balloons not moving like they do in the sky. also at night they dont reflect the fireworks either.

[tardy idol]

for a second I was like wait is this it before realizing it's a flamingo balloon. https://imgur.com/Qu0QPIn

[eager hare]

@fresh quiver Was there any other progress made here?

[tidal forge]

Yeh i did a video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QPJmYB-Vu0

Also did a video on all generators: https://youtu.be/8178uchCta8

Also found the indestructible bushes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYnrXOzR-WY

And i've now replicated the black screen on the cacheout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXgdb7UPt0

None of which arte "EE's" i think these are more bugs now, however i've documented as videos just incase anything comes of it.

[fresh quiver]

should be this from the padlet.
But Numbers are still unsolved afaik

[eager hare]

Sweet, thanks, is it in the padlet for level 3?

[fresh quiver]

yes 🙂

[tidal forge]

How was this made/found?

[eager hare]

Cool, I was looking for if there was a level 2 completed nama-tama too, I think this image might lead to it

I checked after 0v0aurum, both rob and dusty did not specifically mention anywhere that Level 2 was completed

@fresh quiver there seem to be some markings on the bottom left too, was this discovered already?

[dull marsh]

Yeah, there are marking bottom left, top, and right side, which combined give the red text in the image a few messages above

This is the image we got after solving T3 so it should be some clue for Level 3

[eager hare]

Hello ludonope, you were the one who first posted the image, correct?

[dull marsh]

Ye

[tidal forge]

Wheres the full image url?

[eager hare]

It is /t3-f, I think

Go on /tfee-level2 and click on Tier 3

[tidal forge]

ty

God its small that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d66fa29e72c560f8efc020/17bd3eef-468c-4414-9991-393b40f7615d/THE_FINALS_I_Want_to.png

[eager hare]

@dull marsh while rob and dusty stated that it was the completion of T3, they never specified if L2 was completed I checked through the messages

Rob did however repost the image and ask if it was solved

[dull marsh]

Sure, but as soon as we solved it he said there the for Level 3 we'll have 3 in-game EEs to solve

Implying Level 2 was completed

[cold heart]

its also not like we had a new pwd page, or locked tier on level 2 - kinda find it hard to think level 2 wasnt completed...

[eager hare]

Remember that Level 1 had definite ending page with Nama-tama saying "level1 completed"

[tidal forge]

We seen this yet? The dates on creation might be a thing?

[eager hare]

I think the black knight thing should lead to a page with level2 completed nama-tama

[eager hare]

@tidal forge we don't look at exif data anymore

I think

[dull marsh]

Usually we don't look much into that kind of stuff

[tidal forge]

Fair enough

[eternal violet]

those dates are just the start of t3 or close to it

[cold heart]

weve been told we dont need to go digging into the websites DOM, and important stuff isnt in MetaData, or hidden inside file data

[dull marsh]

At most we just check properties

[tidal forge]

Fair enough, I come from a background of dev. Good to know there's boundries! I've done my fair share of CTF's lol

[dull marsh]

But you can use this to analyze the image and try to highlight hidden stuff: https://29a.ch/photo-forensics

[dull marsh]

I think we're all the same hehehe

[velvet narwhal]

There are a lot of people with dev background here.

[tidal forge]

yeh i've noticed 🙂

[cold heart]

yeah most of the image stuff is forensics... i think Rob would tell us if we needed to into super nerdy dev digging mode ^^

[tidal forge]

Its really good to see dev's here.

[eager hare]

@dull marsh @cold heart I think rob always planned for Level 3 to start with the game's release, irrespective of if L2 was done, which is where I think everyone might have missed something, there are no messages of rob directly saying that level 2 was completed, just implications that level 3 is going on

[fresh quiver]

well.
its only partially true.

[eager hare]

@fresh quiver what do you think?

[cold heart]

on what note?

[velvet narwhal]

Rob thought we'd be done with L2 in summer 2023 #easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

Idk, a lot of the hunt usually boils down to being fairly simple (not saying easy), and it's among the rules that they wouldn't try to trick us so I don't see the point

[fresh quiver]

especially with the both questionmark images we had for Tier 3...

rob altered the modifytime on them. It connects to the date of the crossword and with another jocelyn bell clue i think? The Jocelyn Bell think wasnt figured out until later iirc?

[cold heart]

ig we could always ask..

[dull marsh]

Yeah just need to look at properties tho, no further

[fresh quiver]

yeah he planned with that. but we tould longer. Else we would have seen L3 already with start of 1.0 of THE FINALS.

So yea. it was planned for earlier. but we are so slow that we just now got access to it

[cold heart]

oh yeah ig so - but thats not really that deep into the meta data, windows shows you that without even going into properties... ic what you mean tho

[fresh quiver]

@dull marsh
we need to remember. we are not done with "geocache" yet

[eager hare]

It's not more of a trick, I think hunters just breezed past it and forgot about it

[fresh quiver]

still want to know robs 11 Photoshop steps ._.

[velvet narwhal]

rob is a photoshop magician and magicians don't reveal their tricks :(

[tidal forge]

Guys, theres more text on the top edge....

both red lines next to it

[eager hare]

@dull marsh I am comparing level 2 to level 1, in level 1, after all the images were solved, a final url was then needed to get the nama-tama level1 completed page, all I'm saying is that there's no nama-tama for level 2

[eager hare]

@tidal forge that's what this is

[dull marsh]

In a way that's kinda like level3activation

[tidal forge]

OK cool 🙂 im picking up what you have, i just didnt connect to dots

ty @eager hare

[velvet narwhal]

Level2 should be completed. Rob has sent a few messages where he mentioned it being complete. (#easter-eggs message)

there are still many clues we haven't found tho. Those could be helpful for the FINAL level

[eager hare]

Okay, but as I asked, this image for level 2 was never found, correct?

[velvet narwhal]

yes we never got a level 2 complete nama tama afaik.

[tidal forge]

URL to it?

[eager hare]

my hunch is that Black knight should lead to there, there haven't been any connections with WR, dolphins or 3hm to the l2-T3 image

[eager hare]

/geocache

[velvet narwhal]

I think the black knight image will only become relevant when L3 is active or there's a diamond clue hidden inside

[eager hare]

hmm, but where my Level 2 nama-tama at??

[tidal forge]

This is L1 though?

[fresh quiver]

then you should start to scim all threads, all padlets & google docs we have 😅
Even in the 6 last months i am here so much infos came in.

if you tell us things here, just dont worry when you might get to hear that it is already known.

[velvet narwhal]

🤷‍♂️ maybe rob forgot to make one...

[velvet narwhal]

What url do you want?

[tidal forge]

yeh don't worry, I've literally spent hours already, humans miss stuff, this entire EE is a minefield at best especially with theories all over shop, so easy to get confused when you're late to the party 😛

[eager hare]

With his fabulous Photoshop skills, nah, i think it already exists

[opaque juniper]

sorry if its dumb but im new to trying to solve the ee’s even tho its been interesting to keep up with, in regards to “ #easter-eggs message “ aswell as “ "Damn, I don't think the shadows are important, Rob already said it was dawn so I must be incorrect. It can be on all timeframes. IF YOU TRY TO LOOK AT THE MONKEY IT WILL NOT BE THERE🥲 you are not Guybrush Threepwood, you are the one who gets told to look and doesn't see it.
But I do think you act as Guybrush a bit, the monkey comes from the right side, and you can't see it if you look at it but you have a mirror, so look LEFT to see the monkey in the reflection..." “- from the 3hm google doc i have a theory that it is near the little building or possibly using the reflection of the windows on the little building in the park area, ( i also read somewhere someone said that rob had stated 2 people had/could always see it or something along those lines and someone said something about the statues which lead me to this theorised location of the monkey) sorry again if its dumb but i havent been able to try bc have no friend but if anyone could check it out ? Or wanna party up and search or smth

[cold heart]

maybe we completed it, but missed the "True" ending

or Rob just forgot

[opaque juniper]

could get it with lvl 3 opening ? Get it once the next level starts sort of thing

[fresh quiver]

he said that as of now 1-2 have seen it. (Rob & esse or stigsson)

[opaque juniper]

The statues still always stood out as an odd thing to make indestructible in a destructive game 🤔 does anyone have a statue map of monaco ? Maybe number of them might correlate 😭

[tidal forge]

Is there a clue in this image released in the last 24 hours? "I don't know who needs to see this:" is cryptic.
https://x.com/reachthefinals/status/1792584600029409720

There's two strings of numbers at the top of the paper

Just a thought...

[velvet narwhal]

The receipt of this skin is always the same. The only thing that's different is the "Have a lovely monday!" which is usually the username of the last player you killed

[tidal forge]

The Bar code scan at all ?

(I dont use this weapon)

[velvet narwhal]

We have tried but it's an invalid barcode

[tidal forge]

We have the numbers from it?

[velvet narwhal]

I think so lemme look for it

[tidal forge]

Im searching too, (Not being lazy) but i just wasnt here to know the outcome.

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message

There's also a barcode sticker which uses the same barcode with different numbers https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1199692820454322306

[tidal forge]

Thanks! super interesting 🙂 I will look more over theses.

[eager hare]

@fresh quiver the 14 and 23 are @ and # respectively, could it be that we need to tweet to an account with an appropriate hastag?

[fresh quiver]

in ascii or where you found that?
That might be something we hadnt on our screens until now.

@dull marsh you had that yet in your notes?

[eager hare]

Also.... @fresh quiver @dull marsh another thing that i found was that 0176 is a ° and 0002 is " so it could be coordinates

0176 -> convert to Hexadecimal then to text
0002 -> XOR cipher

[eager hare]

ASCII

[eternal violet]

alt-0002 doesnt exist and u+0002 is some control character, so it cant be "

[eager hare]

0002 in XOR is "

[eternal violet]

what does "in XOR" mean? XOR is an operator

[eager hare]

https://www.dcode.fr/xor-cipher

[green scroll]

^

but also "in xor" means nothing

xor ciphers need ciphertext and a key,

[eternal violet]

where does 22 key come from? feels kinda random to me

[green scroll]

where did you get 22 from

[tidal forge]

Assume its a typo? or in reference to something else completely?

[tidal forge]

Can we get an update please? Rob posted more last night.

[tidal forge]

Might be something that's been found, but also its that old maybe not...

This image...

Bottom left

Bottom right

I searched i couldn't find anything, but im highlighting this regardless.

Infact, its all the way across the bottom

[velvet narwhal]

This has already been found

[tidal forge]

This is the best website to check if anything has already been found in images

[tidal forge]

Oh cool! New url i didnt know about 😄

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah there are a 'few' urls...

[hard forge]

where is lulz

never saw him since TFEE00

[velvet narwhal]

I have no idea, haven't seen him for a while...

[hard forge]

Also R.cade too

[velvet narwhal]

Kinda crazy that he's still red too

[fresh quiver]

who pings him? think he might still be around. or he lurks here. The same with Suitably

he probably already married in the meantime

[velvet narwhal]

They probably wait until someone finally finds a monkey

[hard forge]

CM should @ everyone here when the monkey is found.

everyone can start fresh for lvl 3

[fresh quiver]

you just want to see chaos unfold. dont you?

[velvet narwhal]

Maybe not here. It'd notify everyone in the server but a @ everyone in a thread (off topic) should only notify those that joined the thread

[ionic swallow]

Ehi guys I found two hidden squares under the passage on the side of the building in Seoul with the glass ceiling. One square has some sort of colour code and the other has written “BICU 163248 41G9”
They can be seen with the freecam
Could they mean something?

[hard forge]

can you share the image? use Imgur

[ionic swallow]

Let me try

[fresh quiver]

BICU sounds for me like containers/objects.

[tidal forge]

I assume you get put to a colour?

[velvet narwhal]

On the topic of BICU.

Do you think it'd be a good idea to someday create a list of bicu codes with a description of the object

[fresh quiver]

would be a lot easier for us to immeditaly tell what they mean just by code

[velvet narwhal]

Colors are just levels. The problem is that EE hunters mainly communicate in threads and those don't give exp

[tidal forge]

This sounds interesting.

It a standard number for the BICU ?

[ionic swallow]

Let me know if the link works

[tidal forge]

ye works

[ionic swallow]

The colors look like the ones of the throwable canisters

[tidal forge]

Did we ever figure out the robot?

[ionic swallow]

Except for black

[velvet narwhal]

This was a teaser for a robot pet that was released with S2

[tidal forge]

Yeh was going to say, its looks like that, didnt know if there was a second meaning

[velvet narwhal]

Those are the walls you can rise by pressing nearby buttons

[tidal forge]

(im looking for additional 3HM clues btw in older stuff) given they've been around this long.

[velvet narwhal]

The older clues would be clues to the old 3HM.

There was one since CB2 but it changed to 9 different ones with Update 2.4.0

[tidal forge]

You think the hiding method has changed?

[velvet narwhal]

It changed a bit #1211002564015824906 message

[tidal forge]

"Sitting and Waiting" i think is a clue.

or it would be "Sitting there"

not waiting too

[velvet narwhal]

We do know, that the 9 monkeys are in specific locations and don't move

[tidal forge]

vice versa.

[ionic swallow]

Ah yes you are right, but what is the purpose of the colors?

[velvet narwhal]

I think that's just a style. Those colors are on multiple objects

[ionic swallow]

Gotcha

Another thing, I know EEs shouldn’t be out of bounds but I noticed that behind the trophies in the practice range there is now a glitch like the ones that appear in the normal maps https://imgur.com/a/TT5w9ng

It wasn’t there last time I checked

[snow hemlock]

It's a cosmetic item

like the cat and crow

[tidal forge]

I assume Embark have specifically said all EE's are within the bound of the game? Kinda odd that the Dolpins showed up outside but i can see why, trigger was from within.

Rob eye'd the gif that originated from himself 🤔 #1204475718747029535 message

[opaque juniper]

seek the truth beyond the walls always made me think of scoping every inch of every maps borders to find smth if i could but never got around to it bc camo grind hard 😭

[tidal forge]

Oh nice, good spot!

[opaque juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/pony-town-top-spawn-top-spawn-top-spawn-be-like-spinning-monkey-gif-24105078

[bright ruin]

Honestly not sure if Rob has ever eye'd something that was originally his own posting of a clue before, so I found it interesting. But it's likely it's not the first time it's happened
Just makes me wonder if it's a sign to focus on it more

[opaque juniper]

the finals players looking for monkey

[tidal forge]

I swear, someone needs to spank the first monkey when its found... "Don't be such a bad monkey!" 😂

[opaque juniper]

we must s p i n

[sacred bane]

SPiN

[tidal forge]

sp1n

[odd hemlock]

Or someone can just look over someone else's shoulder like in that cropped image rob sent

[tidal forge]

[opaque juniper]

5pìíìín

[cold heart]

this has been in the game for like 3+ months (sorry)
also as it was said, EEs dont require going OOBs/ exploits #egg-hunt-onboarding

[opaque juniper]

true but they shy, i dont think theyd like staring friends

[odd hemlock]

Well what if one person stays facing away, then the oth3r person turns around

[opaque juniper]

also unrelated they are like the finals herobrine right now 😟, cant wait till all the “i found the haunted monkey ee in the finals” videos

anyway its 2:30am i am stoned good luck and goodnight hopefully i wake up to some swag and epic ee or lore stuff

[tidal forge]

5:30PM here so, i'll be around in a short while throwing up some constant lobby's

[dull marsh]

Lmao, I feel like that brings nothing new, but I must be missing something

[bright ruin]

We're all missing something with it since it's unsolved lol
But it seems like maybe he's pointing us directly to it like "hey look here you monkeys!"

(disclaimer: not saying it's related to 3HM)

[hard forge]

but it was given in the context of 3hm

IIRC

[bright ruin]

I couldn't recall so I didn't want to lead anyone on with my joke, just in case

[gaunt palm]

I found a weird destructible thing in one of the fountains on Monaco. It only seems to be on only one segment of the fountain's base and I haven't seen it in any other fountains. I'd love to send a video but I don't have a high enough rank.

no clue if it has any significance, but I thought it was odd

[bright ruin]

Is it the light? looks like a little ufo shaped thing

[hard forge]

dm me a picture I will post it

[gaunt palm]

oh yeah it is lol

probably

[hard forge]

yeah it is the light

[fallen jasper]

What?

[cold heart]

oh wait

hi Zilk

is everything okay?

[cold heart]

we were worried

[fallen jasper]

Hey yeah xD

I'm good just took a break I guess .-.

New CNS post #1213500600117891122 message

I'm imagining that's just what the SYSHORIZON map will look like fully textured(?) but could be something more

Thank you guys it's good to be back :3

no worries! thanks for sharing regardless

[dim totem]

this been found yet?

nevermind

[timid solstice]

https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/
was this straight forward to setup @unborn pilot @dull marsh ?

[unborn pilot]

We wrote it from scratch in a day or two.

[timid solstice]

legend

[unborn pilot]

Could probably be hosted anywhere. I juts did GitHub pages cause it’s fast/easy

[timid solstice]

is it ok if I fork it?

[dull marsh]

I would advise against

I've started a whole rewrite

But I'm not very advanced in it so if you wanna do big things why not

And I don't know if I'm gonna work on it in the coming days tbh

[sharp flame]

Here's what the new CNS image means

REBOOT REQUIRED

[dusk veldt]

hmm, maybe the numbers has some meaning

[dull marsh]

They're REBOOTING Mirror's Edge?!?!!

[slender lodge]

obt = open beta test

[sharp flame]

haha that's the Hex which is what translates to Reboot Required

[dusk veldt]

hmmm

[dusk veldt]

im wondering about the background

[sharp flame]

it's just generic trees

it's pretty big for a sun/moon though

[dusk veldt]

true, but like maybe it could be related to Syshorizon

[sharp flame]

maybe this is the Moon from Skyway Stadium?

it's pretty big too

[steady nymph]

interesting way of announcing they're gonna do server maintenance O_o

[dusk veldt]

Remember how Joakim said syshorizon just was a alternate version or something

[dull marsh]

Still don't understand Skyway's red moon tbh

[sharp flame]

shutting down the game 😭

[dusk veldt]

i mean a reboot has huge lore impact right?

[snow walrus]

reboot + POKE command

[sharp flame]

we don't know if it's lore though

[cold heart]

so much we dont know..

[dusk veldt]

im thinking of terminal attack

[sharp flame]

reboot the terminal?

[dusk veldt]

no rather the war between Vaiyya and Cns

[dusk veldt]

ROB EYED

folks we got an eye!

[hearty meteor]

well

i mean

how does that eye help us lol

[dull marsh]

what

[proud minnow]

FINALLY, can you please stay on track this time... ._.

[dusk veldt]

there is a sun in the new image?

[snow walrus]

new eye?

[proud minnow]

[unkempt dune]

red moon..

[hearty meteor]

that statement wasnt exactly saying anything specific..?

hmm

[dusk veldt]

ee hunters get on this

im thinking what connection is that

[hard forge]

You literally have very high expectations from us 😆

[dusk veldt]

im gonna search for a while

[snow walrus]

Why we switched to Skyway red moon now

[proud minnow]

Yes the longer time you let me work on Level 3 before you start, the harder it will become, hehe

[snow walrus]

were talking about CNS post

[steady nymph]

is the moon an eye? O_O

who's watching me in the arena??? wth

[dull marsh]

Nooooooooooo

[snow walrus]

can't catch u hunters..

[hard forge]

But the monkeys Rob.

They keep us spinning

[dusk veldt]

well that hurts

[gloomy anvil]

6QDG for dolphin private match btw 🐬 #1217498821563514951 message

[dull marsh]

Nah the eyes mean we're onto something

[snow walrus]

why dolphin

[steady nymph]

i feel like im being watched

[gloomy anvil]

there's a dolphin charm we can unlock

[dull marsh]

Oh yeah that happens

[gloomy anvil]

we don't know how to unlock it yet, but we should activate them and experiment

[snow walrus]

any clue how to do that? 😄

hmm

[gloomy anvil]

so the skyway red moon is definitely a connection to the June 2029 lunar eclipse (as hinted by Rob)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2029_lunar_eclipse

[south wyvern]

skyway's moon > red moon > blood moon > hunter's moon.. maybe

[hard forge]

hunters moon?

[south wyvern]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon#Harvest_and_hunter's_moons:~:text=culture.[13]-,Harvest and hunter's moons,-[edit]

[dull marsh]

The moon feels weird on Skyway anyway, no matter which time of day

[gloomy anvil]

2 more people needed for dolphins 🐬 #1217498821563514951 message

[south wyvern]

it was interesting seeing 'apollo' again. it make sense because we had moon charm as well

[hard forge]

sorry raid

[dull marsh]

3?

Ok 2

[bronze wolf]

[gloomy anvil]

1 more needed

yes Rusty

[bronze wolf]

hyuzzah

[proud minnow]

I will save you a lot of work... you need to play the game to find that, dolphin charm is not triggered in private... ._.

[bronze wolf]

been hard camo griding and trying to catch up, this seems a fun way to do it

[dusk veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-gif-24664106

[hard forge]

I KNEW IT

[proud minnow]

you will understand why if you trigger it... ._.

[split gazelle]

Looks like we got some work to do 💀

[dusk veldt]

this all seems very important, its to much for my brain rn

[proud minnow]

play the game... what would a dolphin do...

[dusk veldt]

dive?

[timid solstice]

swim?

[daring bluff]

chirp

[dusk veldt]

water!

[steady nymph]

i feel like dolphins can do a lot of things x)

[snow walrus]

CE2029 fire truck red?

[dull marsh]

what

[dusk veldt]

@proud minnow you dont mean the 3HM right? because we wouldve wasted so much time hehe

[timid solstice]

why are you hinting while were trying to solve a battlefield shark EE

[cold heart]

do what in private? sorry im eepy

[split gazelle]

Officially looking up what dolphins do!

[slender lodge]

dolphins charge and slam into the water

[hard forge]

wait I was thinking about that too

[proud minnow]

nnononononoo I mean the charms

[dull marsh]

what does CE mean?

[dusk veldt]

oh nice!

[sharp flame]

Common Era, like AD

[snow walrus]

we have found that before it's common era

[dusk veldt]

ohh Dolphin!!

so if we trigger the dolphin in public!

[hard forge]

yeah. we knew it.

[dull marsh]

Wait guys let's go to #1217498821563514951 to coordinate

[snow walrus]

hey hold on

how many days left to S3

[split gazelle]

I don’t think I’ve seen the dolphins activate in a public game. That would be hard to pull off.

[bronze wolf]

aww these lil guys are extra cute in person

[snow walrus]

Will it end on May?

[hard forge]

idk. a month probably

[snow walrus]

or june

[stoic cloak]

im rooftop#5853

[split gazelle]

What maps have water? Just Monaco and sys right?

[stoic cloak]

^dont have perms to chat in team19 chat

[daring bluff]

wait, was he talking about the sunset dolphins EE? or something else

[dim totem]

yes

[split gazelle]

The dolphin charm is unlocked in a public game. We’re figuring out what needs to be done and what map.

[daring bluff]

oh, it’s not just to activate the same EE on a public match?

[mighty fern]

water

[odd hemlock]

The ocean in Monaco?

[mighty fern]

🤷‍♂️

[junior thicket]

Guys

How about y'all put some carriables on those platforms in sys horizon

Maybe ya don't need contestants to stand on them

Try that

So repeat the dolphin ee

But in a public match

[dusk veldt]

For those wondering yes it is the Dolphin Easter Egg on sunset SysHorizon

that hes talking ab

[sacred bane]

Do we have a write up on triggering dolphins?

Or are they simply there during sunset?

[thin perch]

I think you need 6 people to stand on different platforms

[dull marsh]

@proud minnow

You trying to scam us?
