[open bramble]

[boreal delta]

Ok thanks

[mint coral]

[open bramble]

monaco gp

[boreal delta]

I was thinking the same, but their are lots of them

[mint coral]

ahh

gtg 4 now be back later

sry

[fallen jasper]

yall have checked out r/cns right?

[mint coral]

no... why?

[jade citrus]

#1213500600117891122 yes we have

[boreal delta]

Are there 7 monkeys in total?

[carmine trench]

9 but 7 left?

[jade citrus]

9 total, we've found 4 already

[boreal delta]

Ah ok

[carmine trench]

All Monaco?

[astral marlin]

they are only on Monaco

[unborn pilot]

Yeah, all on Monaco on non-destructable surfaces like walls, stairs, bridges, large containters

[ruby prawn]

has anyone checked the caves?

[boreal delta]

I might do that now

[ruby prawn]

it might be a point of interest especially if there are poles with 3 signs on them

[carmine trench]

Is there a map yet with all the marked findings on Monaco?

Such as location of each?

I’ll try to help by searching the areas that it may not be in

[real oracle]

Mangabeys is the name of some monkeyes and its nine letters

[empty plaza]

You can thank me for that

[real oracle]

i was just posting it in the main chat

maybe the guenons thing has to do with it being three monkeyes scince its 7 letters and the last letters would be III for three in roman numerals or something

[empty plaza]

Oh good theory

[real oracle]

wait i cant count but maybe its some way of saying 3 mokeyes is the phrase

[empty plaza]

🙈 🙉 🙊
Hear me out

[tardy drum]

Waiting on Rob to drop more knowledge on this Dolphin Charm EE 😭

[daring bluff]

https://youtu.be/IewEynU180Y?si=NKmY9U_s_brJ9FPE
what if you hit a giant inflatable with a meteor 👀

[nimble falcon]

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

see no evil is a japanese thing

[boreal delta]

This definitely has something to do with Japanese

[dusk veldt]

Wait, thats interesting. What if you bounce a meteor on to the giant balloons

(Unrelated to the Dolphin and Monkey)

[astral solstice]

I did not know those can bounce! I know someone tried bouncing retro invasions blast back at them, but I think they were hit by the bast at the same time they dropped the jump pad.

[empty plaza]

Did we ever figure out what this meant

[open bramble]

maybe related to the dolphin quest

that triggers in dawn ,

[empty plaza]

but why 3 dawns?

and one night

[tardy drum]

Seek the truth beyond the walls

[shrewd fog]

s lies

[bright sinew]

There are signs around the map, all over actually.

[tardy drum]

Lore theory, the game we play is a simulation . Maybe one that people play for money or an arcade simulation

[dusk veldt]

Shiet wrong thing

One sec

[bright sinew]

Wouldn't a bright city like Vegas be the worst possible place to look for stars. On the ground and in the sky.

[boreal delta]

What is the pink graffiti SR! on Monaco map?

[open bramble]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3

[empty plaza]

Looks like frames from the Trailer, I'm noticing lots of frames from the Closed Alpha trailer
https://youtu.be/uxloMQgfoYI

I think these are the same person

[hard forge]

you are right!

#1245303150194331709

[hard forge]

that is 1 of the 5 pink graffiti
And it's Rob's Nick name
you can check more about it on official wiki

[boreal delta]

Cool thanks I was just curious

[hard forge]

we found 3 such Graffitis, 2 are still left to be found.

[boreal delta]

On all maps or only on Monaco?

[stray hare]

Really hope she has her own voice should she ever come from a BP as a new face to have

[empty plaza]

Yo, wild how I'm only now realising CNS was teased at the START of Season 1

[jade citrus]

even before then actually...

[empty plaza]

Really??

[hard forge]

Oh this one. Rob brought that up again. We think it's related to lore and no one managed to figure it out.

(This one looks super important because Rob recently asked twice if someone had solved it)

We got one eye tho on hunter ludonope's message

[sinful verge]

could this be the vegas constelation?

[empty plaza]

What did he say?

[jade citrus]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/CNS March 5th 2023 was their first message

[hard forge]

possibly

[hard forge]

wait let me check.

[empty plaza]

Cause if there's another thing to find, I'm on it

I've been trying to figure out the flashing moon EE for weeks now

It's just random gibberish, I'm gonna try doign some cyphers soon

[hard forge]

Yes yes, we need more hands on it.

[atomic rock]

Sorry I just noticed it said arena architect? You design the maps?

[hard forge]

there are some recents leads too

give me a min

searching the message

[empty plaza]

Got it

[jade citrus]

I don't actually, it's just larping

like how some people put CNS in their name

[atomic rock]

Ahhh, I was going to say I like what you’ve done 😂

@empty plaza
#1204968975881216110 message

scroll down below other hunters pointed out some interesting things too

[boreal delta]

This is driving me insane... how hard can monkeys be to find 😭

I'm bout to start seeing three headed monkeys in my sleep 🙊

[mint coral]

bro i hear throwing knives in my sleep

[hard forge]

Join the club

[boreal delta]

😭

[hard forge]

Also please don't clutter this thread

[mint coral]

frick this new tk update i hate them, they royally tick my off

[vale igloo]

this new discord summaries thing is so helpful when ee hunting and like nothing else

[hearty meteor]

this is ai compiled, you will prob see a lot of mistakes lmao

at least its been like that for me

[hard narwhal]

Isnt that just threads? Or is it a completely different thing

[astral marlin]

Is there any lobby for 3HM?

[hard forge]

doesn't seem likes it

[astral marlin]

yeeep - will wait a bit, and if won't be a lobby try to test some things in powershift

[sterile sluice]

AI Summarization is intensely useful for those of us who use Discord for work communication.

Example, we have meetings in threads for compiled work notes, along with a recording at the bottom, and we've typically used Krisp for AI meeting notes and summarizing but an internal discord tool will help in those use cases too

[sterile sluice]

Ai summarization has gotten surprisingly good. Even when not in text situations, such as fully recorded voice meetings being broken down and summarized nicely based on what each person said even.

[hearty meteor]

idk last time it spat out something entirely unrelated to what conversation i was having, that was a month ago or so. i would rather trust myself to read everything, especially when it comes to ee hunting, but to each their own ig

[dusk veldt]

Hello folks, just a notice i updated the Future EE thread here: #1239418871383855138 message

[granite field]

we have 4 so far

[granite field]

ik im just lazy i don't wanna read all that

[jade citrus]

critical information is usually pinned, each channel has its own pins

[granite field]

Oh I didn't know that thanks

[astral marlin]

@astral solstice I'm actually walk a bit on tuttorial map but it super small like 1-2 regions of full

[empty plaza]

Oh sorry didn't know that was a thing

[topaz canopy]

hey i dont know if this has been found already (probably has been) but about the vegas casinos i noticed that all of the casinos have a star in their "logo" except the zaraby, maybe that helps with the three dawns one night thing. im writing this here cause i cant post in the thread yet

[hard forge]

Someone didn't do the homework

That's a good observation.

I can post it for you if you want?

[topaz canopy]

that would be great

[empty plaza]

@proud minnow Can we get any clues on the types of structures the monkeys are on? I'm losing my sanity searching the foundations of buildings

[shrewd fog]

not good to ping rob directly 🙂

[empty plaza]

Done it before with no issue

We've talked before about TKC, a group of mine, he pinged me too lmao

[sharp sentinel]

We found the monkeys yesterday 😭 we can't already be asking for clues

[empty plaza]

My sanity is at stake here 😭

[crystal gale]

https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/

[sharp sentinel]

The monkeys have been around for 7 months now, imagine how those hunters feel

[empty plaza]

For real...

[hard forge]

Hello. don't tag the guy plz. 😄

We understand your frustration. Trust me.

[sacred bane]

I'm willing to risk your sanity for more 3HMs.

Slow mode? Weird...

[hard forge]

Happens when people go off topic and clutter it.

I think it's good. Now it will be easy to catch up for hunters and Rob both.

[gloomy anvil]

It's not a rule, just a suggestion to avoid clutter

[pure kindle]

i'd like a charm please good luck with the hunt!

[lament hedge]

how many monkeys so far ?

[empty plaza]

4 total

[lament hedge]

what is the 4th one ?

[lament hedge]

letter i mean

[carmine trench]

Good luck searching the forest for that

[lament hedge]

thx tho

[carmine trench]

Might as well burn the whole thing down if it’s any immovable object. Easier to find it probably

[lament hedge]

can you find the in a private match ?

[jade citrus]

yes #1211002564015824906

[hard forge]

They are all on non destructable objects (confirmed)

[lament hedge]

what if it's sprayed on a trunk

[empty plaza]

Holy shit I found an S Lies

@hard forge I FOUND AN S LIES

[empty plaza]

Now I'm 110% determined to find that damn monkey

EDIT: Fuck

[jade citrus]

"expert hunter" lmaoooo

[cold heart]

i hate that these dont have a year... wont be soon before people think its June 18th 2024

[carmine trench]

That’s what I was referring to @hard forge, burn the forest for the trees. Those are destructible.

[hardy saddle]

already been done

im in a vc right now with guys burning the whole forest

[carmine trench]

So it’s not done. If you’re still doing it

[jade citrus]

We need to check the left side of Monaco more

[tight granite]

Ty friend, I had a feeling we were cooking with sparklers

[hard forge]

can confirm

[sacred bane]

Just thinking of the connection of our little animal friends. I think the AI is creating some sort of zoo. Us contestants are just another display for the patrons.

[harsh osprey]

anybody ever click on the credits after season 2? pretty cool video in there. idk if theres easter eggs/clues n stuff

[sacred bane]

Yeah, is it still the c64 retro gaming one?

This whole season had LOTS of inspiration from that genre/style

[outer portal]

There’s lotsa text about CNS that scrolls along the bottom

Very cryptic too

[native pivot]

Anyone want some help finding the dolphin charm?

[dull marsh]

Could that be a hint about Season 3 traveling in time??
If that's the case we may have both past, present and future stuff at the same time 🤔

TEMPUS ERRATUM
A marvel of malfunction, so glitched you'll be running late, early, and on time simultaneously.

[stoic cloak]

funny how tempus erratum translates from latin to english as "wrong time" but shows your correct local time

[native pivot]

are there any other super reflective surfaces on sys other than the giant ball and the little nubs on the AC units?

[empty plaza]

How dare you remove the monkey

[jade citrus]

stop.

go to #1201288968562552863

[alpine junco]

🙉 🙈 🙊

[empty plaza]

This is highly on topic

[unkempt dune]

I have to agree with smashel on this one. off-topic should be for joking around

[hardy saddle]

🐵 hot topic monke

smashel weve been searching for monkeys for hours straight were going insane

[empty plaza]

we need help

[hardy saddle]

me and the monkey boys summoning rob

[empty plaza]

ROB, KING OF MONKEYS, LORD OF HEAVY, PLEASE BLESS US WITH A HINT

[dull marsh]

Guys come on we don't need any hint right now, let's keep the chat clean lol

[hardy saddle]

HAVE YOU BEEN SEARCHING FOR MONKEYS FOR HOURS

[jade citrus]

probably, we're all working hard here

It's taken months to solve puzzles before, we're not getting clues after a few hours

[dull marsh]

For days yes

[hardy saddle]

but it hasnt been a few hours

its been since closed beta two. i see monkeys in my dreams

[dull marsh]

But we've literally found 4 last night and know how to find them?

What more clue do you want lmao

[rich sable]

whoa who deleted that

[topaz vault]

how can I upload a pic?

[rich sable]

level up and get a role

[topaz vault]

can I dm to you instead

[rich sable]

no

[jade citrus]

yes, send me

[topaz vault]

thanks

[wild fiber]

Has anyone tried using the jump-pads that spawn on the ground with a jump-pad you can place to get to spots you otherwise couldn’t with only 1 jump-pad on the new map? I keep finding pixel ledges outside of the taller buildings but haven’t found anything yet.

[rich sable]

im sure they have

[frosty umbra]

Just asking how many 3 headed monkey stickers have been found?

[tardy drum]

EE aren’t out of bounds

[frosty umbra]

ok thank you

[rich sable]

[vale igloo]

we've found 4 so far

[tardy drum]

? Only 4

[vale igloo]

there are 9 total on Monaco, we've found 4/9

[rich sable]

like 6 or 7*

[vale igloo]

did bro delete his wrong message to just make it more wrong?? 😭

[jade citrus]

stop or mute

[rich sable]

it was smashel i swear

hes harassing me i promise

[frosty umbra]

where was the latest one found?

[vale igloo]

On an overpass I think, take a look at the map
https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/

[jade citrus]

yeah overpass

[rich sable]

whats taking so long lets find some more

[jade citrus]

you can check pins on #1211002564015824906

for all of the ones found

[rich sable]

monaco yeah?

[rich sable]

really

which gamemode has the longest time me and name are gonna start a private match to look for monkeys

[odd hemlock]

Quick Cash

[unkempt dune]

I never noticed it until now, but what are these white particles supposed to be on Monaco?

you can see some of them near the flag in the distance

[silk bolt]

maybe some firework

the thing that really confusing me is the particles were flying in a video i sent

[hard forge]

The user you replied to has most hours of monkey hunting.

[vale igloo]

the start of the schizophrenia

[keen drift]

we all know abt the credits page thingy w the cns logo and animation right??

like when you click to see the credits you get the here we are cns thing

is any of that relevant to the hunt?

[tight cloak]

Is noone going for the dolphin charm?

[hard forge]

There are many hunts going on right now. People are trying to solve different things.

[unkempt dune]

okay

[tight cloak]

Well, do we have any more leads?

[unkempt dune]

I think I have an idea of where SYS$Horizon is located

[hard forge]

Idk if you are caught up with #1243224234675802135

Edit: check pins

[hard forge]

They used same assets in SYS Horizon.

• Trees are from Monaco
• Alleyways from Vegas
• Buildings from Seoul

EDIT: My current theory is it's like a skyway stadium

(getting used to Slow mode lmao, it's been months since we have slow mode back)

[hard forge]

waiting

[unborn pilot]

You’re typing with 3 hands. He’s typing with maybe a finger

I blame slow mode for everything

[hard forge]

I actually typed it with my thumb haha

[unkempt dune]

I was thinking about the whole hunt and it got me thinking.. where in the world does The Matrix take place? It's a city. Turns out it takes place in Sydney, Australia. After a quick google search, I found plans for a campus that resembles the architecture of SYS$HORIZON (https://www.ellisdon.com/projects/nova-scotia-community-college-sydney-waterfront-campus-development) that's in Sydney, Nova Scotia. It's not a 1:1 to the map, but it's the closest thing I've found so far. Not only that, but the campus is next to the water!

There's a high chance it isn't it, however, it's close you must admit

[unborn pilot]

So it’s not the CNN building?

[hard forge]

wow, that indeed looks like sys horizon

[unborn pilot]

That campus has strong similarities. Waterfront and all.

Is there an art gallery?

[grave bridge]

hey has anyone noticed in the practice range that the dummies get desaturated the further you are away from them? it never used to be like this, at least not that i remember

[unkempt dune]

the campus does not, which would make sense since the museum is presumeably not a part of the campus area

but I'm still thinking it's not the right campus, but rather a similar looking one

[unborn pilot]

Worth looking into more. At least it’s a good idea. Library is most likely part of the campus. The art gallery could be owned by the same university or just happens to be right next to it.

[hard forge]

#1217764142572765245

[unkempt dune]

the thing about this campus is that the surroundings are not a city skyline

[unborn pilot]

So much stuff I forgot about here like that WWELCOW haha

[tranquil tiger]

I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this, but this image from the new trailer looks a lot like The Shard building from London, and the rainy/stormy clouds on the right make a lot of sense if that's the case

[hard forge]

#1245303150194331709 it's actually winter monaco

[hard forge]

The amount of information on this channel is massive. If I take a vacation, I might start forgetting stuff and will be lost.

[granite remnant]

Huh that's uncanny

[vale igloo]

This is new, I thought my monitor was playing up when this happened ngl

[grave bridge]

thats really weird. at first i thought it had to do with the roses, i tried throwing some at the dummies to "dye" them red

obviously didnt do anything, minecraft ass logic lmao

[dull quartz]

damn

[short wind]

I was playing sys horizon last night and found some pink pixels near the dolphins that disappeared when meleed

[unborn pilot]

anyone hear these thunder/explosion sounds before on SYS$Horizon (or any map in case its a bug)? i'm in a private lobby, solo. so no one's throwing explosives or doing anything else on the map, and there's no event. i first caught it around 5 min, then again at 1 min left. it always sounded like it was coming from the shore.

[unkempt dune]

it's an orbital lasers bug

they continue to go off even after the event

been in the game since S1 at least

[unborn pilot]

I was about to say I thought they fixed then but was gonna look it up. Guess not.

[tight cloak]

what was the time frame

[tight cloak]

yo are people aware that holtow.com website is now one giant button that takes you to the season 2 trailer

[timid solstice]

Good spot!! It’s black for me no button but pressing it does go to YouTube on mobile

[unkempt dune]

it's been like that since before season 2 started

[tight cloak]

got it i wasnt sure

[hearty meteor]

wait no that was the glitch gif

[tight cloak]

i just realized something

there are a lot of shots of where the dolphins can be spawned in the trailer showcasing the map. maybe theres something to gain there?

[unkempt dune]

yeah, and that's what it still is

[silk bolt]

i noticed it before but someone told me it's probably a bug

[hearty meteor]

oh ok

[native pivot]

does anyone know of any other super reflective objects on sys? the only ones I know of is the giant ball and the nubs on the AC units.

[spring thistle]

Any new monkeys?

[boreal delta]

We are still on 4 I believe

[winged tartan]

no

[spring thistle]

Damn

[tranquil minnow]

The statues inside the buildings are reflective but I don't think that's something to look at but I could be wrong of course

[boreal delta]

Does anyone think that some of the three headed monkeys are specific to different versions of monaco?

[native pivot]

yeah probably nothing just thinking what a light could maybe do alone and speed is the first thing that comes to mind. maybe running to a bunch of reflective objects quickly or if you have squad having each member stand by one.

[smoky rapids]

could be one on duck and cover considering all of the indestructibles it adds where the church used to be

[tight cloak]

no all of the monkeys are visible on any version of monaco, iirc from a previous post

[boreal delta]

That's what I was thinking. Because I was on that map yesterday and the Monkey on the generator was not there because the ruined church was blocking it.

[boreal delta]

Oh maybe I'm just blind then 🙈

[spring thistle]

We checked duck and cover thoroughly. Nothing.

[cold heart]

you're actually wrong on this, but I THINK (I really hope) it was a silly oversight by Rob.
you cannot see the generator 3HM on Duck and Cover...
#1211002564015824906 message

Why tf does this track ALREADY sound nostalgic

I thought S2 had the melancholy music 😭😭

[gloomy pecan]

Lmao

[sharp flame]

this is even more moving than S2 😭

are they trying to 1-up themselves x2

[spare plover]

this is so soothing

"Accept no imitations"
Us with the xX names: 😶

[cold heart]

see?

[bleak wharf]

cuz it's made in japanese haiku style
even the name refers to "eternal petals in the sky" lul

[sharp flame]

haiku style?

isn't that a syllable-oriented poem?

[hearty meteor]

Just gimme the s1 music back bro plsssss

😭

[dusk veldt]

Well shiet

[spring thistle]

Do you guys see anything?

There's tons of static in the audio but that's about it

[dusk veldt]

Its good, so much messages recently and people can read up on stuff much easier. Im sure its only a temporary thing

[proud minnow]

I wonder who came that... hehe

[dusk veldt]

Carl the Cook

[spring thistle]

heh. came

Nice track. Still prefer s1 music tho

[tardy drum]

Rob pls,
If the dolphin charm EE is done in private, will the player be able to notice then do that same thing in a public game? Or there’s no way to know unless it’s public

[plucky kettle]

that is what the name reminds me of. ALSO WHY COOLDOWN

[tardy drum]

Also, curious if the certain trees that pixelate mean anything on Horizon.

Edit, it’s 4am and I’m asking these questions lol

[spare plover]

dolphin charm is not triggered in private

[astral marlin]

guys, the thing is that Cetecea is can be only a CLUE for real thing of charm

[tardy drum]

I know you cannot receive it in private, I’m curious if the EE itself will show that it was done correctly in private. Like dolphins flying up everywhere or something

[plucky kettle]

and the clues that rob gave us...

[spring thistle]

Hi res image. Pretty sure there's nothing in it. Nice idea tho

[plucky kettle]

I cant see anything

[spring thistle]

Yeah no

[hearty meteor]

rob doesnt hide anything in metadata iirc

[spring thistle]

This ain't metadata.

[open bramble]

which application is this

[hearty meteor]

what is it

[spring thistle]

It's called spek

[spring thistle]

Spectogram of the music. Many easter eggs in other games hide images in the spectogram

[hearty meteor]

yes and its outside of whats in the audio itself, like hidden messages that you can listen to, im pretty sure that classifies as metadata

[spring thistle]

no

Metadata is info about the file

[hearty meteor]

isnt this kind of info about the file..?

[spring thistle]

Here is an example of some stuff hidden in the spectogram

[hearty meteor]

ye i know that exists

[spring thistle]

no.

[hearty meteor]

i always thought it counts as metadata, but sure

[eternal violet]

metadata is data about the data, spectogram is the data itself (just in a different format)

[spring thistle]

Lets ask rob

@proud minnow Is a spectogram considered metadata? Is there a possibility that things could be hidden in a spectogram in the future?

[hearty meteor]

hm i guess that makes sense

[hard forge]

ping? smh.

btw Spectrogram was used in the main hunt, I don't think it's needed for Dolphin Charm. Probably in level 3 or 4.

my bad also not in music.

[hidden nacelle]

spec has never been used for the main hunt as far as i know

[hard forge]

i saw it in flex4d's document or RHB video. I am pretty sure it was used.

[spring thistle]

Does the software matter?
If I use gimp instead of Photoshop does that mean I'm cheating?

[hearty meteor]

whats gimp?

[hidden nacelle]

u can use gimp, just dont use ai shit

[spring thistle]

So why does it matter if spec is used

[hearty meteor]

its not about cheating, its about the fact that there might not even be anything hidden in there lol

[hidden nacelle]

i was just saying that the spec has never been used so there's unlikely a ee in the spec

[hearty meteor]

and so far there hasnt been

[spring thistle]

Fair. But it's fun to poke around. You never know.

Might find something interesting.

[hearty meteor]

oh nobody's stopping you, just saying that there is probably nothing in there, being curious is good

last night a bunch of us guys were theorizing that theres something needed to see the last 5 in a call

as we systematically destroyed and searched each district

[silk flax]

Wasn't there a certain way to actually see them?

yeah you have to let them reappear and then you can look at them

either run up before they poof or turn away for 10 seconds and then look back at them

3. Teasing EE's - Hints of what will come in the future of THE FINALS
4. Funny EE's - things just hidden by us devs because we want to make you smile
5. Reward EE's - things that doesn't really have to do with anything but they will trigger an event or a reward
6. Shoutout EE's - to embarkers, friends in the industry, other games, EE-hunters, other studios etc.

[alpine lichen]

Hello everyone, did someone check the credits in game? I think we could find hints there.

[odd hemlock]

Probably Japanese theme season3

[dusk veldt]

So what are we thinking location/setting wise? The theory RHB posted or a more modern map variant which was theorised i think like s1

[cold heart]

i hope its NOT shibuya crossing, cos its pretty cliché

[ocean sequoia]

Long shot probably but I decided to see if there was a monkey island in Japan and there is, as well as a rabbit island and dolphin island.

[cold heart]

oooh thats true, nice 🔥

i know they have an island for a tonne of animals, but didnt know it was those too 🤔

[ocean sequoia]

they also go from left to right rabbit, dolpin, mokey on the map

[bleak field]

wdym we can reproduce the Shibuya incident if it is

[dusk veldt]

I doubt it tbh, like a big thing back then was that making a Japan modern map would be confusing. I cant seperate Seoul from Skyway half the time

[bleak field]

you should get your eyes checked then

[cold heart]

in your defence, half of skyway IS seoul assets

[thin perch]

I'm guessing it's going to be a small village or at least something more rural

That's sort of the vibe I get from the new music drop, anyway

[zealous magnet]

yeah big jrpg vibes

I doubt they would do another big city thing

[radiant lichen]

yea, I dont think they will go to a NEO/cyberpunk/futuristic japan

[thin perch]

We already have to many big city maps

It's be interesting to play somewhere flatter

[dusk veldt]

I swear to god all of S1 i thought there were 3 maps only

[bleak field]

howwww

did you not do the maths smh

[zealous magnet]

Also wasn't heavy equipped with a samurai armor in the beta key art ?

[spare plover]

when somebody asked if the map was gonna be in a hot or cold setting rob answered with both
i'm thinking a traditional hot spring resort

[cold heart]

this is what @ocean sequoia was referring to btw
(ignore that i put bunny, and not rabbit)

[bleak field]

thats was alpha i believe

[stoic cloak]

i think if the s3 map will be in japan, it will be in a shrine setting.

we will most likely see this glitched statue from syshorizon in the new map (if it is japan) , just like how you can see the glitched version of the lovers statue from monaco

https://imgur.com/a/GdqkS3h

https://imgur.com/a/DvjkG64

it bears striking resemblence to komainu statues found at shrines (same stance and head slightly turned)

https://www.japan-experience.com/sites/default/files/images/content_images/komainu20191.jpg

[zealous magnet]

I don't see the second one but the first one i agree 100 percent

[sterile depot]

wasn't a japanese map shown in early dev footage?

[dusk veldt]

Wait a second

[bleak field]

yep

[stoic cloak]

the second one is the glitched version of the lovers from monaco

[bleak wharf]

in prototype build, yeah

[zealous magnet]

my bad

[sterile depot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1b624sj/this_could_be_the_map_in_question_from_early_dev/

[ocean sequoia]

YES! Thank you for visualizing it

[zealous magnet]

It's in a city welp

[spare plover]

this is from 2020

we will see

[bleak wharf]

it's an early build

they could've remade it 100 times

also i'd love a map that is in them middle of the city

[sterile depot]

exactly

[bleak wharf]

No, Seoul doesn't count
it's all rooftops

[zealous magnet]

I mean most studios would have recycled what they already made but it's embark so we never know

[cold heart]

its pretty odd how evenly spaced these are too... too bad it doesnt make a triangle though, else we could have pinned it to a central location
it being in order is pretty uncanny too - no way its a coincidence right?

[ocean sequoia]

The three wise monkeys is a famous carving on a shrine just north of monkey island. Wonder if there is something similar for the others

[zealous magnet]

I mean dolphins, monkeys, kois.. Probably beach side Japan ?

[dusk veldt]

so coastal setting, or rather somewhere near the coast

[ocean sequoia]

this shit had me reading ancient Japanese texts last night lol

[hard forge]

why are we connecting monkeys to s3 or Japan?

[boreal delta]

Maybe the Koi fish will add another location 🤔

[dusk veldt]

All im thinking is i dont think its gonna be modern Japan, would get confusing and would be lazy tbh

[boreal delta]

Because of the monkeys being related with the Japanese 3 wise monkeys

[tight cloak]

Ohhhhh

[bleak wharf]

aren't Sys Horizon is on the coast too?

[hard forge]

But we don't have a monkey. We have a Three-Headed-Monkey which is related to Monkey Island and pirates

[dusk veldt]

yes, someone pointed out that there are islands in the game themed after these animals i believe

[ocean sequoia]

correct, but I was just following some thought experiments

[zealous magnet]

Remember summer is comming up so it would make so much sense

[hard forge]

And I am sure more than 1 culture with 3 wise monkeys which is not exclusive to Japan.

Unlike Koi fish.

[cold heart]

is a three-headed monkey, not still a monkey 🤷‍♀️ the fact all lvl 3 animals have a Japanese island.. and they are in order.. and in a line, is pretty interesting
might help with the password more than anything - if the next map IS Japan

[zealous magnet]

there's a monkey island in japan btw

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

[ocean sequoia]

the three wise monkeys are connected to ancient Japanese texts

[zealous magnet]

there's ALSO a dolphin island hold on

[normal flame]

without a doubt season 3 map will be in Japan setting - remember leaked s3 OST "eternal petals in the wind"

[cold heart]

we are talking about this... we know 😅

[zealous magnet]

ok nevermind then

[ocean sequoia]

#easter-eggs message

[cold heart]

i know 😉 - but i still like to be wrong/ and not state 100%s

[zealous magnet]

Is it possible that the password is in japanese then ?

[cold heart]

we wont really know without more monkeys being found regardless

[thin perch]

What will we get out of finding all 3 monkeys??

[cold heart]

*9 monkeys (so far) - and that is what we will find out 😄

[thin perch]

Mb that's what I meant

[cold heart]

all we know is the level 3 password is: WRs EE + Dolphins EE + 3HMs EE
https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3

[thin perch]

There's gotta be some niche connection or symbolism between them

[normal flame]

have you ever tried to bruteforce password?

[ocean sequoia]

Rob said it was obvious 😅

[cold heart]

#egg-hunt-onboarding ... its against the rules - and would also take years of processing power
so no

[thin perch]

So were the monkeys and it took like a month

[dim totem]

Honestly same lmao, especially in the office buildings

[clear steeple]

Were gate-keeping the “xX” now lol

[cedar torrent]

Why do people keep saying nine monkeys if Rob Clearly says +2 each season

Two seasons = +4 monkeys

[dusk veldt]

because were up to 9 monkeys now

[cedar torrent]

But it cant be an odd number

[dusk veldt]

how so

[clear steeple]

There was only 1 original

1+2+2+2+2=9

[cedar torrent]

because that not an even multiple, also did he say there was only one original, because he says +2

[clear steeple]

I think that’s CB2, OB, S1, and S2

[cedar torrent]

if you are counting the original then you are missing one

[hard forge]

SOME INFORMATION FOR NEW HUNTERS REGARDING LEVEL 3

Rob started planning the main hunt since 2019.
Level 3 was planned probably a year ago we were stuck on lvl 2 for an entire year. Level 2 was supposed to be solved before the game launched.

And hence lvl 3 should have been started in season 1, but we smooth brains didn't even managed to activate it before S3.

So lvl 3 and season 3 having a strong direct connection is a bad idea.

[shrewd fog]

OYE Dan

[clear steeple]

One original in CB1? If I’m correct?

[hard forge]

@unborn pilot correct me if i am wrong, you were here before me

[cedar torrent]

I think Rob should comment on this tbh because his words indicate that its +2 unless he said its only one initially. However, how can a monkey multiply without a partner/mate

[cold heart]

100% i think this is why we have 9.. and +2 every season

[shrewd fog]

in The Finals arena anything is possible

[tight granite]

3 heads, asexual 🤔
(joking lol)

[hard forge]

stay on topic

[cedar torrent]

LMFAO That is a great Idea but Occams razor says we should make the least assumptions indicating to stick to the information he gave us which says +2

[cold heart]

i mean he straight up has said there are 9 right now.. and there is +2 every season.... 😅 i think the only person confused is you sorry

[cedar torrent]

Well me and all the people who arent participating lol But thats great info! If he has clearly said nine then that is that no need for further debate ❤️

[thin perch]

So these monkeys are going to stay forever??

[unborn pilot]

Correct it wouldn’t be a direct connection that we need to solve the next step. At least it never was one previously.

[spring thistle]

Any new monkeys?

[cold heart]

I know its a lot, but if youre interested in the EEs try to watch RockhoundBlacks videos... read the pinned comments etc
about there being 9 3HMs and +2 every season read this: #1211002564015824906 message

[open bramble]

but they will be less shy each update

[hard forge]

Rockhoundblack's videos are why I am here.

[hard forge]

that was explained to. Rob was making it easier for us to find them.

[open bramble]

was it each major update?

like 2.0 3.0 or 2.1.0 2.2.0

[spring thistle]

I think each weekly patch

[open bramble]

"BUT to be honest, it was really hard before, they hid when you were 50m away from you before, but you could walk backwards and if you turned around when you were less than 5m away they stayed for ever... I think we decreased the “3HM shyness” with around 10% every client patch since 2.2..."

[spring thistle]

It was 50 meters at the start. They lowered the distance by 5 meters each patch until we got em

[bronze crag]

Hey can someone explain this

[cold heart]

i dont think the specifics matter.. the fact he said client patch would imply the weekly updates

[cedar torrent]

I have read up on it and am not sure I see Rob say there is nine monkeys anywhere in the discussion. its only individuals from the community as far as I see.

Maybe I missed it (I can be a bit of a fast reader and miss things) but if there is proof we should definitely have it pinned because that would make a world of a difference. Im assuming the "one initital monkey" is assumed because he says I just saw 'A' monkey on Monaco, but maybe there is more evidenece of him clearly saying there is only one.

I just wanna make sure all of our info is locked in and airtight so the community has the best shot possible at finding all of them ❤️

[hard forge]

I cant post a screen shot but is it this text that your are referencing...

There is also a three-headed monkey hidden in Monaco....
(I will personally send a THE FINALS mouse pad to the first one who finds it...)

[hard forge]

what about it?

[dusk veldt]

this is in regards to the monkeys, again read please #easter-eggs message

[cedar torrent]

Is this the 'proof' of there only being one initial

[hard forge]

yes

this and others messages in that sheet

[cedar torrent]

Hmmmm I see, yeah the language does indicate singular. Very interesting to start with one but you are right! This does look like only one. Thinking face haha

Thank you to the community members who helped catch me up to speed I very much appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Y'all are real MVPS <3<3<3

[bronze crag]

Idk if its some kind of message or if its system issues

Its only happening in character menus but not in game or loading screens

[cold heart]

its just a bug, reflection/lighting issues like these are all over the place in the game

its just this one is really obvious/ easy to find... and was introduced this patch

[bronze crag]

For a second i thought it was a message from cns and potentially a season 3 teaser

[spare plover]

kinda look like barcodes

[gusty timber]

What were all the hints given leading to a Japanese them? I saw the new CNS Music track and the KOI Pattern Vegas Pillars + KOI Graffitis

[empty plaza]

What the hell?

[native pivot]

There are 5 things made out of the same shiny chrome as the ball on sys. 5 pillars surrounding the art gallery and the ball itself so 6 objects made of the same reflective chrome. anyone know of a seventh?

[alpine junco]

I thought that was magma flowing because the restaurant is called magma

Volcano fish are a thing tho

[unkempt dune]

BTW, the 72 7A 72 comment by rob today (#easter-eggs message) is hex for "rzr"... which is most likely a reference to Razor 1911 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_1911)

[spare plover]

how did you convert that message into rzr

[unkempt dune]

https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/hex-to-ascii.html

[cold heart]

damn thats sick, i couldnt get anything from RZR

[unkempt dune]

rcade spoke about it a bit earlier today #easter-eggs message

[cold heart]

but how did we get 1911?
just realised R.Cade mentioned this earlier #easter-eggs message but cant figure out how he got 1911

777 which is 1911

[unkempt dune]

rzr is short for RZR 1911

[hard forge]

how did you figure this out

[unkempt dune]

rob was a part of the demo scene

[timid solstice]

I just searched

accept no imitations razor1911

[hard forge]

damn

[dusk veldt]

first samurai👀

[hard forge]

The OGs are feeling lucky today huh 🙌

[timid solstice]

Not sure why this was like the 4th thing to come up,

http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=18454

[cold heart]

not just for first samurai btw - Amhr
http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=7760

[normal flame]

what are those adresses?

[timid solstice]

It’s from 1991

So you probably had to get cracks on disk??

[unborn pilot]

Rob's clue was in hex 72 7a 72, so your 777 in hex is 1911

[copper willow]

What is CRYSTAL?

[timid solstice]

Cracking group i think

[unborn pilot]

yea, rob brought them up once or twice before

[hard forge]

more than that actually

[cold heart]

OOOOOO hex -> decimal 🤦‍♀️ i feel so stupid

[copper willow]

Ignore that, that was for an anime?

[timid solstice]

Yes

http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/author.php?id=261

[dusk veldt]

just found it now too, thanks. Very interesting

[copper willow]

http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/author.php?id=38039

[dusk veldt]

so i just mightve found something in regards to the rosetta stone @sharp flame

[cold heart]

https://www.razor1911.com/

[copper willow]

Mr. E was also known as Rob for some time.

[dusk veldt]

http://janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=25645

[copper willow]

Don't know if that's relevant. He was one of the authors of CRYSTAL.

[sharp flame]

Oooo

Nice coincidence

[zealous magnet]

I don't know what's going on but this looks sick

[cold heart]

Rob is from Sweden.. not Scotland... IIRC Rob went by Dr. Rob

right?

[copper willow]

Well, would you tell the truth on a cracking website?

He had an interview in 12/90 where he said he was 20.

[shadow shore]

https://x.com/razor?lang=en

RAZOR 1911 (@razor) on X

https://t.co/sZN1cJUpFj

Twitter

[copper willow]

Unless Rob is 54, probably right.

[cold heart]

he spoke about it here: #1201288968562552863 message

[spare plover]

what's a cracking group

[shadow shore]

They have the triforce from Zelda as their picture

[hard forge]

yeah r.cade found it

[copper willow]

Ah, thank you!

[zealous magnet]

a group of people who cracks

[sharp flame]

Sick! Man do we think this is why rob posted 777 before?

[spare plover]

i'll just use google

[spare plover]

ok but seriously

[hard forge]

You mean CNS? I think sooo!

[spare plover]

what's a cracking group

[hard forge]

Modders, crackers ...piracy.

[spare plover]

thank you xx guy

[cold heart]

2992 in hex is: BB0
or in dec: 10642
does it say why there where called 2992 before? 🤔 couldnt find anything

[sharp flame]

Group of people who make paid media available for free download

[hard forge]

don't snitch to FBI.

[spare plover]

thanks other xx guy

[copper willow]

🙏 Promise I won't.

[shadow shore]

so

CNS are based of razor 1911 or

[dusk veldt]

you dont think its a nod to the game?

he said small ee so thats what i was thinking

[sharp flame]

We've never actually had Rosetta stone come up

[hard forge]

today it did.

[sharp flame]

Yeah by me 😭

and I'm saying that that was a far stretch, with no solid connection

[dusk veldt]

thats why i pinged you hehe, but good to know just wanted to consult the master

[hard forge]

fish memory

[sharp flame]

That's not what I mean tho,

it hasn't actually been confirmed, nor has the stone itself have any connections

[hard forge]

Yeah that too

[sharp flame]

but either way it's cool to appreciate the connection

[hard forge]

He keeps on saying " there are no coincidences"

or will just post master oogway's eyes

[dusk veldt]

So Razor 1911 seems to have made games too

[hard forge]

search up Cosmo coin eternal rest

[dusk veldt]

hmmm https://csdb.dk/release/?id=137485

[hard forge]

wait..so other stuff posted by CNS on that day might be connected

let me pull my compilation

#1213500600117891122 message

[timid solstice]

The track was called “eternal petals” <-> “eternal rest” ??

[snow walrus]

ask for Robert

[dusk veldt]

so Rob's name was Dr.R?

[hard forge]

Is that from clears throat ...fairlight?

[snow walrus]

could be Rob Hartshorne tho

[dusk veldt]

Why 1911? 1911 is $777 in hex which is the opposite of 666...

[hard forge]

a possible connection. But the eternal coin had the moon in the background in vegas casino.
Too far of a connection but possible.

[stone mirage]

in regards to the website which hosted the dolphin charm, were people able to get it by inputting the code into the website after having logged in

[dusk veldt]

Is this Rob? https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=17197

it seems to be, thats also a list of all his projects. Seems he was even active in the 2010s

[dusk veldt]

what website?

[snow walrus]

this is musician

[cold heart]

youre crossing your casinos up.. its:

• eternal rest
• cosmo coin

[hard forge]

oh yeah. My bad. Thanks for correcting me

[stone mirage]

wasn't there a website that displayed the three stages of the easter egg hunt 1. Bunnies 2. Dolphins 3. Monkeys

[unkempt dune]

that's not for the dolphin charm

[dusk veldt]

the code on that page is for the next level

[stone mirage]

Was the dolphin charm conditions just the sunset set up?

[cold heart]

we dont know - we havent figured it out yet

[hard forge]

read pins in #1243224234675802135
that's all we know

[dusk veldt]

but is that not Rob's name? for the group

[unborn pilot]

Never seen any of this until now. 😑 ugh

[snow walrus]

we don't know

[hard forge]

you know CNS, they delete everything.

[stone mirage]

thank you for the help, is there one for all the monkey head locations found so far?

sorry I am not familiar with how threads work on discord

[hard forge]

yes #1211002564015824906

[hard forge]

it's okay but we haven't pinned the message but people have uploaded images there you can scroll up in that thread.

you can't type in threads until you reach lvl 1 which is 35 text in the server

[stone mirage]

ok gotcha

I were just about to ask about it

one last thing, is there a direct contact to contact if ive found a monkey head in case i wanna get the mouse pad?

id love to get something special like that so i am really hopeful to go no a heavy search to find one

[hard forge]

unfortunately it only was for the first person to find it.

[cold heart]

youre too late 🤷‍♀️ it was for the first one found, and i dont even know if its valid anymore... considering there are now multiple moneys, rather than the one original one

unless the original one is different some how ig

[shadow shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5CNlMGcARA

is this a thing? Sounds a little familiar

[cold heart]

WAIT
the start is like the credit screen

[shadow shore]

Yeah keep watching

It gets even funkier

[zealous magnet]

There's the same video with an "hidden part" idk if there's a clue there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR4c0R10678&t=0s

[empty plaza]

The thing in the middle looks like that one charm from the Battlepass

[zealous magnet]

yeah i was going to say that

[cold heart]

kinda sounds similar to/ reminds me of Gorillaz - Dirty Harry lol

[hard forge]

good find

[hard forge]

all under 64 kb

[spare plover]

hey
this looks like credits
or previous credits

and the bp charm is there

[dusk veldt]

there is apparently also a hidden part

2:29isch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR4c0R10678

[cold heart]

are we just not reading other peoples messages 😅

[dusk veldt]

oh i didnt see @zealous magnet message

[cold heart]

@spare plover we just said that, like right now already...
@dusk veldt ... Creed said that a few messages up

[dusk veldt]

btw it was in front of us all this time

[spare plover]

sorry

[stone mirage]

oh dang, thank you for all of your help regardless. Ill definitely post the heads if i find em though

[dusk veldt]

(but I have to give it to them, they are good... Not "FLT-Horizon-RZR1911-TSL-Crystal-good" but still really good, so RESPECT to any hidden CNS-members in the channel)
(1 night 3 dawns took me some time, I will admit that... BUT I got it GGWP.)

[shadow shore]

This song slaps haha

[hard forge]

OYE

[cold heart]

bro we are so dumb 🤣 💀 he straight up told us

[shadow shore]

[hearty meteor]

[unborn pilot]

long time ago.

[dusk veldt]

i had it linked in my thread but here #1213500600117891122 message

[unborn pilot]

[alpine junco]

[dusk veldt]

omg were actually blind, hes been telling us about Razor1911 for ages(also about the link to the credits) #1201288968562552863 message

[unborn pilot]

[alpine junco]

ah okay

[crystal gale]

https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/

[hard forge]

[cold heart]

so much love for the triforce ay?

[unkempt dune]

well, you do know it's more than the triforce, right?

[cold heart]

well yeah.. its the sierpinski triangle too

[dusk veldt]

a pretty complete list of all their projects: https://demozoo.org/groups/519/

[unkempt dune]

for anyone that doesn't know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hōjō_clan

[cold heart]

OH. i did not know that

12th century Japan ay? 🤔

[unkempt dune]

Despite the title, in practice the family wielded actual political power in Japan during this period compared to both the Kamakura shoguns, or the Imperial Court in Kyoto, whose authority was largely symbolic.

[hard forge]

wait how did we end here.

[empty plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/ganon-legend-of-zelda-dancing-happy-gif-18000188

[shadow shore]

THey must have played Zelda back then, legends

^ me every five seconds on this chat

[willow coral]

i found the dolphin thats what i would say if i found the dolphin

why does this chat have slowmode now which one of you started spamming in here

[dusk veldt]

same interface, no?

[tight cloak]

have we figured out why the dolphins are only on 6:00?

[cold heart]

this was also on the first few seconds of the first one @shadow shore posted
its so fuckin cool though.. they both are - this music slaps 🔥

[hard forge]

there were few.

Right now we are trying to figure out recent leads on CNS and RZR 1911. (big breakthrough)

So if you want to discuss the charm, #1243224234675802135 there you go.

[willow coral]

Thank you 🙏

[thin perch]

I think it's undeniable at this point

[hardy saddle]

[acoustic bough]

Bro that season 3 leaked music is putting me to sleep it’s like a lullaby xD I’m in bed 🛌

[unkempt dune]

Hz-Snake or die by Horizon https://kjell.haxx.se/horizon/showdemo.cgi?action=pics&demo=9937555403880

reminds me of Eternal Rest from Zaraby on Las Vegas

[dusk veldt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCerxGscbGE

[unkempt dune]

kind of funny that we got SYS$HORIZON after Las Vegas

and there's potentially a Horizon reference in Las Vegas

[gloomy pecan]

The cube at 1:08 feels like the credits one from the finals

[cold heart]

LMAO, some of the comments they put in these music videos are ace

our intro runs better in realtime than on youtube

[hard forge]

yeah!!

[hard forge]

yeah...they are giving me fomo

[dusk veldt]

well shiet: Groups matching:

#easter-eggs message
i have a feeling well see this asset as non glitched in the s3 map

[dusk veldt]

these guys are still making stuff, also i couldnt find Rob among the members list https://csdb.dk/group/?id=20

[hard forge]

lmao

[unkempt dune]

seems like a good guess

[sharp flame]

I'll post these images in the chat just so people can more easily view them!

It's a perfect match..

[stoic cloak]

ty fish

[unkempt dune]

feet are a bit different

I wonder if we can find a match for the feet

[sharp flame]

Haha finding the EXACT statue may be impossible

[dusk veldt]

hmmm, i was thinking about this connection a while ago too. At the start of s2 that is. I found this C64 game called the last ninja, found this image sooo idk

[sharp flame]

There are statues currently in-game with no irl counterparts tbf

[hard forge]

how do they scan statues?
