With cameras duuuuuhhh

[sharp flame]

All I know is that it can't be any other type of statue.. that's definitely Japanese or Chinese

[gloomy anvil]

S3 has to be Japan, surely

[sharp flame]

but the Haiku in the latest post and everything else points to Japan, so of course

[unborn pilot]

I hate slow mode. But to add to that. I think just really good cameras and software

[unkempt dune]

I haven't seen any yet with the little swirls

[dusk veldt]

where is that:O

[unkempt dune]

there's also the zen garden sand on horizon as well

[native pivot]

anyone want some help finding the dolphin charm?

[stoic cloak]

oh yeah true

[dusk veldt]

i feel like everything we just found about these groups should go somewhere

[noble trellis]

Do you have it?

[hard forge]

near the ball?

[unkempt dune]

mhm

[native pivot]

no lol. i mean need a 2nd for private or public que

[noble trellis]

It’s 7ppl ?

I’ll help you if u got enough ppl

[native pivot]

i do not. we could try and start another party to search for it tho

[native pivot]

also supposedly we don't need 7 for the charm itself

[dusk veldt]

hunters, in here please https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1217498821563514951 and for discussions about that in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1243224234675802135 since other things are being discussed (read the room). Thanks!

[noble trellis]

You think maybe we just put something that can be aimed in the direction of the sunset?

[noble trellis]

This channel is “Easter eggs” we can talk about any Easter egg we want in this chat channel?

[dusk veldt]

like i said, read the room. Were talking about other things, its just that other things get buried. Thanks!

(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.)

im wondering if all of this is somewhat connected to 1 night 3 dawns

[alpine junco]

wouldnt that make the deer in the other room relate to Nara Park

[dusk veldt]

couldnt it just aswell be any parkey place with deer in japan?

[hard forge]

The threads exis so that we don't disturb other discussions. That's why they are added only to this channel in the entire server.

No hate. we also want the charm. But there was a major find just now.

[alpine junco]

nara park is most notorious when it comes to being able to feed deer up close

[pure loom]

this definitely wouldn't be considered metadata, because anything in there that tells us something would have been deliberately added.

[hard forge]

If RHB says that. Then there is no need for further discussion on that topic.

[pure loom]

lol

[dusk veldt]

i wonder what other connections could be found, we should have this in mind for the S3 credits. Both credits so far have been directly linked to Razor 1911

[noble trellis]

does anyone know where he said it can be triggered by lights??

[unkempt dune]

I wonder if the Mammoth bones are a S3 map reference or if it's a Horizon real-life reference

[pure loom]

I don't this we've found anything in the spectro for any audio yet, although I did suspect something was hidden in one of the trailers where Nama Tama blows the cashout through a wall

[dusk veldt]

Horizon real-life reference, how so?

[pure loom]

Could be a Los Angeles hint - La Brea Tar pits?

[zealous magnet]

In-game audio is too compressed to be "spectrofied", only visual audio clues we could get would be from youtube trailers, discord links, ect

[pure loom]

yeah, I think trailers are most likely the place because of the time they can spend on them

[dusk veldt]

yep, theyve hidden so much in them before so makes sense!

[pure loom]

I'm actually kinda disappointed we haven't found any clues in the spectro of a trailer yet

[zealous magnet]

have we checked ?

[dusty sequoia]

the activation site for 2.4.0 did a quick flash of the 3 headed monkeys for me

[sharp flame]

We need to look even harder..

[pure loom]

yeah, I've looked at every one - so I could have missed something. That Nama Tama C4 explosion looked weird, but other than that, nothin

[dusk veldt]

it is known

[dusty sequoia]

i was suprised im new to the hunting lol

Anybody have any information on the SYS$HORIZON blocks making sound in the road?

We have hit a dead end

[sharp sentinel]

I don't think anyone has talked about the sys roads before it came up in dolphin charm chat, so you guys are pioneers in that

[tardy idol]

funny the big blocks sticking out can be destroyed. the smaller ones are the wave like and glow together and think the noise comes from them. from that nothing much else

Does the Dolphin Charm EE involve jumping from block to block like a dolphin diving?
(Running out of ideas here...)

:/

[empty plaza]

happy now?

[cold heart]

please dont just ping rob, and ask for hints.. just cos youre out of ideas doesnt mean others are

these things have gone on for months

[shadow shore]

Yeah half the fun is trying things out then failing horribly..then doing it again 😄

[proud minnow]

Almost years…

[empty plaza]

🥺

[robust tiger]

would it be related to their migration patterns

at least direction to where to start

[empty plaza]

We've tried stuff around that

Nothing much has come of it. I'm still trying to figure out what rob meant by "what would a dolphins do"

[hard forge]

work as a team? - social animal

[low escarp]

SWIM

[empty plaza]

That's been a definite thing we've tried, escpecially ziplines

[unkempt dune]

hey rob, if I may ask, have we found more than 1/3 of the 3HM that oscar passed during that one stream? We know the generator one was one of them and possibly the step monkey

[dull marsh]

Nah we have to figure out how to "solve" each of the 3 EEs, the WR and 3HM are not any different to the Dolphins

[hardy saddle]

if you ask rob for things youll get more people telling you to stop than robs answering you

[low escarp]

https://imgur.com/a/ZkWsfZT

[dull marsh]

No because we're not asking for clues but just a small confirmation about what we already found

[unkempt dune]

specifically, these whereabouts

[empty plaza]

The dolphins man... we've tried speeding with ziplines down the road hitting every bump that moves like the ocean. Nothing came of it. We are trying to figure out why the black boxes in the road change pitch.

[tardy drum]

I’m still on the belief that no EE done the standard way would involve any abilities or guns, so for the Dolphin EE, I suggest people think of ideas that do not require abilities or guns.. unless you’re a Light trying it solo.

[empty plaza]

Are we on a wild goose chase with the road moving like the ocean rob?

[tight granite]

Ty for making these painfully interesting

[astral solstice]

What we need is to stimulate our brains in finding these EE! Especially those darn hidden monkeys!

[hard forge]

i think Rob is catching up with chat. I am gonna wait.

[spare plover]

would you soothe our suffering

[hardy saddle]

im sorry but i had an idea and had to share https://imgur.com/a/juA6q3m

[spare plover]

also me and llarxene found these 4 computers in campus that make a distinct beeping sound

they don't light up but they beep

[empty plaza]

Rob, does the Dolphin Charm EE involve the art pieces inside each building in SYS%HORIZON? 🙏

[frail wasp]

where?

[dusk veldt]

Rob jump scare out of nowhere hahah, seen any of our progress regarding the credits and Razor 1911? (you have literally been telling us for ages)

[spare plover]

campus building
can't really pinpoint them right now but they're interesting enough
they don't light up
but make a distinct beeping sound i think you can't hear anywhere else

[robust tiger]

If we’re using the road as the ocean then it would be impossible without abilities

[hard forge]

#1213500600117891122 search reddit

[tardy drum]

I don’t mean to be a broken record, but I’ve been saying for awhile that dolphin EE hunters need to consider non-ability related things, yet everyone keeps defaulting to “use jump pads as medium” for some reason. No EE has used an ability or required shooting afaik. I’d love if Rob could confirm if abilities are required or not, but until then, I’d suggest focusing on:

• what would require 2 or 3 people to do that a Light could do alone IF they used abilities- since he said it’s possible as a light solo which would mean it’s a nonstandard process, no?

[hard forge]

good take.

[robust tiger]

What would a dolphin do

[empty plaza]

Maybe like going at an incline? Like a light with dash?

[pure loom]

Maybe there's a very high point on the map that needs to be reached - I suppose that could equate to a dolphin jumping very high. It could be done during low gravity.

so a Light using grapple maybe

[robust tiger]

The track (if important to the dolphin EE) can be done on low gravity without abilities or equipment

[tardy drum]

I’ve gone as far as considered throwing objects from one spot to another but it’s difficult. Possibly as light with the portal, but you gotta be super super quick. Not super dolphin related either.

And Roundhouse, I’ve seen @native pivot do that in multiple spots using the goo as well, nothing though. Super super high

[pure loom]

what do you mean by "the track"?

[tardy drum]

But why would that require 2-3 people normally?

[bright ruin]

RoundHouse is a new one

[empty plaza]

Theory:
Dolphins play, maybe since Light can launch dash stuff, maybe you have to get a cashbox from one side of the road to another while launching it off jump-pads?

[robust tiger]

How would 2-3 people without abilities change anything besides speed or standing on something

[tardy drum]

Also, it’s hard cause we don’t know:

• If we do it correctly in private, will something change on the map or will we “know” it was done? If so, then cool we take it to Public. If not, then lol we have to only test in public hoping TOD isn’t a variable

[tardy drum]

If it’s something time-based then 2-3 people are needed but Light’s speed can accomplish it. Time-based or position based

[empty plaza]

Throwing a cash box from one end of the map to another?

Involved multiple people, but a light could catch the box using a gateway and dashing

[robust tiger]

The road

[tardy drum]

I just hope it’s not an obscure thing dolphins do (like using puffer fish to get high off their toxins)

[tight granite]

Getting around the map on low gravity with dash light on all the jump pads is possible, and tested, I’m ngl I missed a pad on the playtest so it wasn’t clean but it’s killing me bc I think its the play- until confirmed with a clean run

[hard forge]

probably not, it's always the occam's razor, just like in the case of 3HM.

[pure loom]

Just had an idea that is definitely dolphin behaviour - what about running in front of the Power Shift platform, like a dolphin riding the bow wave of a ship? Maybe for a certain length of time?

[robust tiger]

Even if the track is related to the eastern egg we don’t know where the start is

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/dolphins-crash-traffic-jam-oops-funny-animals-gif-9883030

[tardy drum]

Btw I’ve been able to jump on every black block on the track without touching the ground using grapple. Took awhile but nothing happened. I started on the side close to campus because that side shows the blocks gradually (in order) getting higher

[robust tiger]

On the wiki it states that dolphins migrate from north to south

[pure loom]

best example I could find as a gif

[empty plaza]

Honestly... not a bad idea. But something a light could do solo?

[pure loom]

using cloak so no one sees them?

[dusk veldt]

oh that makes sense, wait

[tardy drum]

Until you get crushed by it lmao

[empty plaza]

Woah wait, but something a heavy couldn't? This has my brain in a pretzel

[pure loom]

lol, just realised two dolphs collide in this

[dusk veldt]

Rob said a light could potentially do it, a light would have a hard time holding a platform in a public powershift game but not a heavy. @pure loom

[hard forge]

@pure loom best logical theories I found in dolphin charm thread, if you want to take a look.

#1243224234675802135 message

[dusk veldt]

thats not what he said, he said a light could potentially do it solo. Doesnt mean a heavy cant do it, just that a heavy cant do it solo

[hard forge]

and to me @tardy drum"s conclusion also makes sense.

[empty plaza]

That's what I mean't sorry

[pure loom]

could hold the platform for the entire round? Getting a bit dolphin un-related though, although they swim in the bow waves for a long time

[noble trellis]

how do i view the ee threads

[dusk veldt]

yeah i agree, the convo's and theories in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1243224234675802135 are the best ones we've got so far though

[tardy drum]

You can click/tap the title of this thread and click Threads to see the main ones

[pure loom]

the cotton reel symbol at the top shows them all

[hard forge]

top left 🧵 icon next to pins in pc

[dusk veldt]

i dont think we need to be thinking outside of the box to much, he said play the game. thats all we had to do for the 3HMs sooo

[noble trellis]

thx

[tardy drum]

I’m gonna look more around Museum when I can. That’s where “From CNS with Love” sign is, which Rob quoted when mentioning the dolphin charm. Unless he meant to literally quote them.

[pure loom]

run around with a cashbox for the entire round - a light could definitely do that

[noble trellis]

which game mode is best to que for sys horizon?

[cold heart]

thing is though we can do 3HM in privates.... why the 🤬 cant be do this in privates..

I wonder, is there gamemodes not in private matches...? competitive??? Terminal Attack?? 😆

[dusk veldt]

so nobody cashes out?

[pure loom]

maybe it's too easy to do that way - like the cashbox thing

[dusk veldt]

Okay so my memory might be flawed, is there a winners screen in private games?

like when the squad celebrates around confetti

[pure loom]

maybe

[empty plaza]

I think so?

[robust tiger]

Yes

[empty plaza]

Yeah there is!

[tardy drum]

Possibly non-Dolphin related but interesting things on SYS:

• Pixelating trees. Only some do it, always the same ones
• Computers in Campus beeping
• Weird skull-looking symbol ontop of campus
• Black boxes that emit different resonating sounds

[dusk veldt]

hmm might not be it then

[dusk veldt]

ive been thinking ab this too, Rob said he "didn want to spoil it" regarding Sunset being the only mode. Maybe you activate it one round during sunset or something and do something else the other ones. (regarding ranked)

[robust tiger]

Block boxes could be sonar like how dolphins have echolocation

[tardy drum]

Because it’ll reward EVERYONE the charm. That’s where again, we don’t know if we do it correctly in private will allow us to “know” we did :/

[empty plaza]

We've already tried weeding that out, it's meh

[tardy drum]

Can’t be sound-related in game due to compression of audio. Will not come out correctly

[robust tiger]

Yea but I don’t think the tone of the sounds matters, I feel like it’s based on ur players speed that’s why it changed

[empty plaza]

The thing that frustrates me and a lot of other EE-Hunters is the fact that we don't know what happens IF we succeed

[dusk veldt]

like every other EEs, we just gotta have patience. Things fall in place after

[frail wasp]

guys idk if any one found this but i think i got something interested on SYS%HORIZON

[empty plaza]

Yep... mentally straining

[cold heart]

that goes for every EE - we never know till we have gotten it

[frail wasp]

i cant post remember

[cold heart]

if we did knew the solution there wouldnt be much of a puzzle 🤷‍♀️

[empty plaza]

explain it via text

[frail wasp]

i talk to u on private and u post pls @dusk veldt

[dusk veldt]

just Dm me it

[frail wasp]

ok basicly u have 2 tips of PC on SYS%HORIZON

1 says imagine other have some kind of code

[tardy drum]

Yeah, to be fair, did y’all see the 3HM hunt before one was found? People found “monkeys” in rocks and shit LOOOL

[frail wasp]

but if u check close on the code PC u can see they form a patern

they form some numbers

and im trying to see what numbers they r

i go send the video to u @dusk veldt

[sterile depot]

wow wait, what if we bring one of those decryption keys into one of the "hacked" PC's. That would be on public matches only

[dusk veldt]

TA came out after the Dolphin EE was a thing

[sterile depot]

ooh

[cold heart]

but the charm might be new 🤷‍♀️

we didnt know about it still after TA... TBH

[dusk veldt]

@frail wasp image, hell explain idk really hehe

[frail wasp]

ok

[dusk veldt]

I mean EEs take time, and so do cosmetics

[frail wasp]

this is the CODE pc, and this is just 1 of the paterns and u can see its like a 3 and 2 on right side

the other paterns apear other numbers

[hard forge]

question 1 ) where was this

[frail wasp]

SYS%HORIZON on every "hacked" pc

if u check closely u can see they have diferent paterns, and have diferent numbers or leters

but i cant see clear thats why i ask for post here to help me figure this out

[empty plaza]

We are jumping on the jump pads throwing cashboxes between each other like dolphins playing with a ball jumping out of water

I think we are hella far off

[noble trellis]

i need one more na player for the dolphin easter egg

[empty plaza]

Rob, are we supposed to ACT like dolphins, like jumping on the bounce pads and throwing a cashbox between eachother?

[sterile depot]

I tried and nothing happened

Are me and my crew overthinking this?

[frail wasp]

but u can see the paterns i show?

[unborn pilot]

If I recall it’s same as what’s on the floors #1217764142572765245 message

[cold heart]

but if it was easy we would have found it by now, so dont let that discourage you
we often fail to find the simple things... such as a Rabbit that was on a sign the whole time

[frail wasp]

not the numbers u see pass, how they pass form other numbers

[empty plaza]

It's still a theory, we've been throwing cashboxes for an hour

[hard forge]

in private lobby?

[empty plaza]

Mhm

[cold heart]

you do know its only in public games right?

[hard forge]

pointless

[empty plaza]

Hold on, I though it was mentioned that you could trigger it, but not get the reward

WE DID ALL THAT FOR NOTHING?!

[cold heart]

🤦‍♀️

[tardy drum]

No… as mentioned, a major variable is that there MIGHT be no confirmation whether you did it right or not in private

@frail wasp another image still idk he’ll explain

[hard forge]

#1243224234675802135 message

[cold heart]

that was just a theory someone said, its never been confirmed that was the case at all
infact Rob keeps telling us to just play the game

[hard forge]

this

[tardy drum]

Like you could do it in private and it might show you did it right somehow, or it can just do nothing lol no way to know. I’m hoping something happens like dolphins fly up from all the black water areas.. but hey who knows lol

[empty plaza]

Wom0#8889

[noble trellis]

wompie we gonna trigger it in pubs just so u know

[tardy drum]

Not disagreeing with you. As I’ve said far back, there’s many variables which means countless hours trying to get the right map only to test stuff and completely throw the game making the experience worse for other players trying to win…

[hard forge]

I did it before

here #easter-eggs message

[robust tiger]

Rob says that Ecco isn’t related but with him spiritually

[tardy drum]

He could’ve meant that literally. Like he just thought of the game while adding the dolphins. I think people were overthinking that aspect and relating it to aliens and stuff too much lol

[hard forge]

1. Get in public lobby.
2. Trigger dolphin
3. Search the map for anything suspicious
4. trial error

which will be relatively easy since you have played a lot of private matches.

[shadow shore]

What are the main differences between a private lobby and a public one?

Apart from servers (?)

[unborn pilot]

One has teammates who quit on you all the time

Ecco not actually being related means that it's probably not any of the alien paths.

[cold heart]

certain gamemodes are not available in private games... but idk if Rob would want us throwing comp games

[unborn pilot]

🤔 so maybe in a tournament?

[hard forge]

i hope not

[shadow shore]

Coudn't be the last round of a tournament, surely? That'd be crazy hard to organise haha

[bright ruin]

Cashout, tourneys don't exist anymore

[cold heart]

and i believe all the in-game EEs so far have been pretty accessable on all gamemodes etc
so it feels pretty flawed

[unborn pilot]

No way it could be triggering dolphin in tourney. The odds of the map & teams cooperating might as well be 0

[unkempt dune]

7 kid 3HMs and 2 parent 3HMs. The parents need emotes

[bright ruin]

And tourneys don't exist anymore

[dusk veldt]

Damn, thats going to be very hard

@hard forge
Please confirm

[shadow shore]

Maybe the "action" is doable in a private, but it won't activate unless it's public??

[dusk veldt]

Confirm what? There is nothing to go by

confirmed its bugged? why would it be bugged
how would we know

anyone got the leaked s3 soundtrack?

rob posted it… in this channel

So how did you think it worked in private🤨😭

Who said I believed him? I called bullshit instantly

[hard forge]

I have linked a message. it's pinned

[bright ruin]

Yeah but I meant where, like link it if you can please. It's harder to search for specific gifs/images than text 😅

[robust tiger]

It was a thought that some event could trigger n private but u won’t get rewarded the charm

An assumption

[dusk veldt]

The ”event” is the dolphins swimming around

[hard forge]

sir, #1243224234675802135 message

We ended up testing the dolphins swimming in a public match but still nothing noticeable was pointed out thru the actual game

Yes, the theory is that its something outside of that. The event only showed us the way

with time we will all be on the same page and progress

i get that, but i was referring to the private lobby n other stuff too...

Quick question is the reason why I can’t chat in threads cuz my rank is too low? Or do I need a specific role

The more you talk the more ranks you go up

[bright ruin]

Oh I meant standard "tournaments"
I'm used to referring (and having others refer) to ranked tourneys as just ranked

I was stating that since your initial comment to Cathartic who's message was talking about how Rob might not want us throwing comp games, so context lead to confusion lol

[vale igloo]

who let embark cook with the new ost

[robust tiger]

Has anybody paid attention towards the workspace side of the ocean after the dolphins have been activated

Not trying to mess up anybody’s theories but judging by the map someone has made with everything discovered so far nothing has happened by that part so just wondering

[vale igloo]

this is my favourite song they have ever put out, maybe first place is the ranked tournament win song but idk

[native pivot]

dont know about after they've been activated but I've noticed the wave sounds seem way louder over there

[acoustic viper]

when rob revealed the dolphin charm he said "this is "from cns with love"". isnt there a big bilboard that says "from cns with love" on the horizon map? idk if its a dumb idea but maybe it has something to do with it

[robust tiger]

It is facing towards the area I was talking about

But it could be unrelated

[acoustic viper]

yea idk

[cold heart]

i dont think thats unreasonable - it could be

[tardy drum]

Hence me searching there

[hardy saddle]

Im so close to level 2 lol. also should I join the easter egg xXx gang

any ideas what type of dinosaur this matches? or are we gonna go with the Japan theme and say it's...

[pure heath]

Is the latest music very peaceful? It’s that xX.eternal_petals_in_the_wind.

[cold heart]

they are all woolly mammoths iirc

[hard forge]

sorry this one is out of wool

[cold heart]

(need this with freebird playing in the background)

[pure loom]

Yeah, woolly mammoth looks like a good possibility. It's definitely not a whale because the scapula (shoulder blades) that are mounted nearby are too thick - so it's a land animal that needs to carry its own weight. Whales have very thin scapula because they only need to swim.

[unborn pilot]

hmmmmm... i was hoping to find like an exact (or close to) match on the bones.

and google lens pretty much says dinosaur on all of them. funny enough first result was https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Spinosaurus_in_Japan.jpg

[hard forge]

yeah exactly whatever he said about the spatula

[cold heart]

its defo this imo - i think that gif is wrong

[hard forge]

can't trust the internet no more

[shadow shore]

There's a mammoth head I think too, do you think they'd use the same Dino twice?

[stoic cloak]

flip it the other way

[pure heath]

Dolphin EE hasn’t been cracked yet, has it? (I genuinely don’t know.)

[hard forge]

they are not hanging it in lvl

[pure loom]

that gap in the processes on top of the vertebrae looks like a good match

[cold heart]

the little pokie things above the spine? (idk my biology) - but yeah that but fipped horizontally

[unkempt dune]

the head is in the museuem too

[shadow shore]

woah

[stoic cloak]

the shoulder in the museum also belongs to the mammoth

[pure loom]

dorsal spinous process, iirc

[hard forge]

flip it

[cold heart]

base dolphin EE yes, dolphin charm EE no

[shadow shore]

Godzilla is a close 2nd

[unborn pilot]

it is flipped? that's the head where the tail was

[acoustic viper]

why would there be a mamoth sceleton on a map made by cns?

[hard forge]

oh yes lol mb

[unborn pilot]

what im saying is yeah, that matches. they have it hanging very oddly

[acoustic viper]

just because it fits the museum theme? 🤔

[pure loom]

good question - could be a hint for a future map

[hard forge]

yeah #easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Potentially would could pin down the actual museum

https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/advanced-mammals/mammoth

NYC

there can't be too many museums that have mammoth skeletons

[dull marsh]

Also there is that little strip of water with that island which makes me think a lot about NYC too 🤔

[pure loom]

also, the shape of the tusks are usually kinda individual, so they could be used to identify the actual one

[unborn pilot]

while running around taking pics i also noticed that these 3 are are perfectly right above each other 1 floor up. not sure if there's a connection. in the order you see them it's almost like 1st "think", 2nd "take", 3rd "throw/item"

[shadow shore]

Does anyone have a picture of the head of the mammoth?

[pure loom]

Embark meeting their contractual obligations with Sony

[shadow shore]

I tried raising them up with the anti grav earlier, and then dropping them down via holes and yeah it was a mess haha

[acoustic viper]

also they could be controller bottons

[cold heart]

I have foggy TOD rn, so sorry its hazy - @pure loom

[acoustic viper]

square, circle, triangle

[unborn pilot]

sorrrry Xbox

[pure loom]

those tusks are massive

[shadow shore]

Yeah i've pressed the respective buttons...nothing haha

[pure loom]

yeah, see how the right one (its right) is bigger than the left

[cold heart]

hm yeah, now you mention it 🤔 😮

[shadow shore]

so we can identify it through that?

[pure loom]

kinda opposite to this one

[shadow shore]

if it is controller buttons, it's missing the "X"

[hard forge]

❌

[unborn pilot]

And ya know X marks the…

[shadow shore]

X is jump

[hard forge]

noooo

X marks the spot

[cold heart]

do we think this is its pelvis or something else?

[stoic cloak]

shoulder

[cold heart]

oh yeah it is, you right

[shadow shore]

Hahah i know i know..but, there is a top level and it's got the Green wall and the 2 blocks

[hard forge]

I know what it's called

[shadow shore]

whats called?

[unborn pilot]

He knows how to Google it while you wait

[hard forge]

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

[shadow shore]

Ohhh

i didn't know this

[astral solstice]

What if we have to piece the mammoth back together? A light could potentially do it solo because they have the gateway gadget which can move objects. 🐬

[pure loom]

The tusk proportions look pretty close to this, but reversed: https://bucketlistnorway.com/item/the-mammoth/

[stoic cloak]

lol as rob would say "mirrored"

everything goes back to mirrors

i noticed earlier when i was playing the deer exhibit has gigantic footprints

https://imgur.com/a/D3oJiKE

i wonder if this is relevant or if they just scanned in the ground as an asset and scaled all the detail to a larger size

[hard forge]

probably a Swedish footprint

(jk)

[unborn pilot]

Is it bigger than your shoes if you stand on it?

[stoic cloak]

i dont have a screenshot as proof but ya im willing to bet they are larger than your ingame shoes. the footprints are huge

[dull marsh]

That's probably it imo, but there might be a meaning behind the deer thing itself

[pure loom]

also, there's a distinctive fracture across the bone here - that should be a good way to find the actual skull too, if there are any photos online

[unborn pilot]

Good eye on that tiny crack

[acoustic viper]

kinda looks like moon footprint but not as thick

ok nvm only the stripes kinda look alike

[stoic cloak]

https://ids.si.edu/ids/media_view?id=3d_package:341c96cd-f967-4540-8ed1-d3fc56d31f12

not sure about the crack but the tusk shape matches the data from smithsonian

https://www.si.edu/object/nmnhpaleobiology_3447777

[pure loom]

damn, those tusks are nearly bang on

[stoic cloak]

maybe they just added the crack to add detail to the model

[cold heart]

this looks like the fracture too - if it was flattened

[stoic cloak]

on the second link i sent you can see the same pov from rhb's photo

[cold heart]

this model you sent is a lot higher res than the one in game

[stoic cloak]

maybe im wrong but i dont see the crack on the actual skeleton in the second link

[cold heart]

yeah not the crack per-say, but defo the weird bumps

[pure loom]

The angle isn't perfect but those tusks are pretty much a match

[acoustic viper]

yea that has to be the one

[pure loom]

The other thing the Smithsonian would satisfy is the Cold War era space art we previously got, but haven't had in-game yet, right?

[robust tiger]

discover Love From CNS with love

[pure loom]

unless they just used the online model from the Smithsonian because they wanted a mammoth, but not the whole museum

[gloomy anvil]

speaking of the Cornell box and early 3D graphics, have we mentioned the hand on Horizon being a reference to Catmull's hand in the first 3D animation?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkHpoCveh4c

[cold heart]

im convinced - the difference is probably in FOV alone at this point

[acoustic viper]

@pure loom isnt the smithsonian institute in new york? if yes it could fit the maps theme

[dim dagger]

Isn't it in dc?

[unborn pilot]

I didn’t know but I see it

[ruby nimbus]

Washington DC

[acoustic viper]

oh my bad

[spring thistle]

500 new messages. Y'all better have found more monkeys. Right?

[unborn pilot]

Eventful last hour. I’ve learned so much about the museum and art gallery I’ve been smashing through all season

[bright ruin]

With this logic, it makes me wonder about the other two's relations. If we approach it with the idea that they each are a nod to something, given it's SYS$HORIZON made by CNS a scene/hacking group... the other two could also be references to other leaps in technology?
the apple could quite literally point to Apple (Macintosh?) as it was the first (successful) personal computer

[hard forge]

wow

[unborn pilot]

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked about a new monkey today. I’d probably have at least $777

[dim totem]

So unSYS'd Horizon might be new york?

[hard forge]

Macintosh? not C64?

[hard forge]

feeling lucky too!? XD

[pure loom]

Washington DC - but then it could point to a later map, or just that they needed a mammoth

The Smithsonian does provide an online 3D version of it

[alpine junco]

hello

[tight granite]

Natural history museum is in NY (think Night at the Museum)

Massive museum, definitely theorized the museum looking like MOMA in NY as well, as the natural history museum would be waaay more classic and moma is glass and large with big paintings

[bright ruin]

Yes. Further clarification, it was the first successful mass market all-in-one personal computer

I also don't think the apple would connect to the c64 in this hypothetical I presented

[stoic cloak]

working on downloading the full 3d model to view in blender, but the obj file is 2.8 gb LOL.

my blender is frozen importing it, maybe someone with a beefier computer can check the model for the crack

[spring thistle]

I would strongly recommend against using blender for such a dense mesh

[stoic cloak]

any program is gunna struggle opening an obj that size

[unborn pilot]

Perfect for a web 3d viewer then! Jk.

[pure loom]

The Smithsonian Nat. Hist. Museum doesn't look very SYS$HORIZON-like

[hard forge]

i think it would be either apple 2, Atari or c46

[ruby nimbus]

They probably just used the free model

[spring thistle]

Nah most will hitch at import but run fine. Blender will keel over and die

[bright ruin]

SYS$HORIZON was built by CNS using the assets of the map that it was supposed to be once fully loaded in (since SYS$HORIZON takes place during the loading of THE FINALS)

Correct me if I'm wrong of course, I'm just putting out there what I remember being discussed a month or two ago

[cold heart]

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_Natural_History
yeah it feels very White House-esk... doesnt match

[tardy drum]

Wonder if that giant cube could be a Tesseract

[bright ruin]

Can you connect the apple in the museum to the non apple computers? That connection is what the hypothetical I presented hangs on really. Unsure what the thinker-like statue would connect to technological leap wise... maybe you have some possible ideas?

[spring thistle]

I believe it's made from assets hastily put together and or stolen from other maps

[ruby nimbus]

https://legacy.3d.si.edu/tour/woolly-mammoth

[hard forge]

in the era of C64 these 3 models were in THOUGH competition,

I do agree with you

[bright ruin]

CNS has access to all the assets of the finals I believe. Hastily for sure, but I think due to that, it makes it hard to really pinpoint SYS$HORIZON to any singular location

I wonder if it could be possible that some assets are from other maps not even teased to us yet

[hard forge]

#easter-eggs message
They used same assets in SYS Horizon.

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

[spring thistle]

Correct. Pinpointing it to one map would be hard, but the whole map as a whole should have a location theme going for it. It's just that the heavy stylization makes it hard to wrap your head around

[gloomy anvil]

"X marks" the Cornell box and Catmull's hand seemingly point to early 3D models and animation.

Famous test models include:

• Standford Bunny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_bunny
• Suzanne Monkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)#Suzanne
• Dolphin ? (I was really hoping there would be one...)

[dim totem]

Then yeah it's not a bad guess to say we're probably getting a washington map in the future

[bright ruin]

Sorry I didn't mean pinpointing the assets to one map. I know the assets are from multiple, like Impervious just shared.

I meant pinpointing SYS$HORIZON to a real-world counterpart location, when it's possible that it could be more than one location (locations being ones that AREN'T already maps in the game right now). Purely hypothetical, but it could be what throws us for a loop everytime we connect a new thing to a real-world location 🤔

[spring thistle]

That's a good idea.

[gloomy anvil]

all that comes to mind is early ~~ 3D ~~ games like Ecco the Dolphin

[spring thistle]

But that makes the map abstract.

[spring thistle]

Don't forget the teapot. Very important

[bright ruin]

CNS' goal is to "change the game" after all, it wouldn't be far fetched for them lore wise, despite this not being a lore discussion

[hard forge]

change.the.game

[bright ruin]

Oh the statue on floor 1F, have we agreed that it looks like a CNS member then? (due to the hood)

If so, that could be their custom-model they used, meaning the real model isn't staring us in the face for what the statue actually is. It's possible it really is the thinker on whatever map it's supposed to be on, but it's a CNS member specifically for SYS$HORIZON

[hard forge]

1F from this @bright ruin

[gloomy anvil]

Square, Circle, Triangle. Can we match these to the white rabbits, 3HM, and dolphins in some way?

I want to say pixels, voxels, polygons etc but there's nothing solid to grasp onto.

[unborn pilot]

Yeah it’s 100% a CNS hacker guy as The Thinker

[bright ruin]

Square Circle Triangle when I saw them made me think of something I'm pretty sure we discussed last level

Euclidean geometry
That's as far as I've gone with that rabbit hole though lol

[tight granite]

Anything around “Cetacea”?

[hard forge]

i agree

[bright ruin]

It could also be Squid Game

[unborn pilot]

Oh it also connects to Icosahedron

[ruby nimbus]

The crack could be due to the material used in UE5

[bright ruin]

You know thinking about it, Square, Circle, Triangle is seen often in occult symbols...
There's this thing I found called "Sacred Geometry" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_geometry

[unborn pilot]

⭕ ⬜ 🔼 next is ❌ marks the spot

[spring thistle]

Is there a cube in sys or am I remembering wrong

[tardy drum]

There is

[acoustic viper]

there is a cube like thing yes

next to the cornell box i think

[bright ruin]

This is unlikely a lead, but I do know that a wedge shaped cylinder is the shape you'd need in order to fit one object into all 3 holes (triangle, square, circle)

Alchemical symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemical_symbol

[spring thistle]

So I believe catmull's hand, the cornell box, and the cube are nods to 3d graphics

It's a museum of prehistoric animals and "prehistoric" computer graphics tech

[unborn pilot]

2 separate areas actually.
Museum (yellow): Mammoth, 3 deer, Albert head, Lovers, Komainu statue
Art Gallery (red): CNS thinker, Catmull's Hand, Bitten apple, Cornell Box, Normal Apple + 3 abstract pieces (6 layer cube, knotted sphere, sphere with cube outlines)

[spring thistle]

[bright ruin]

That's part of where my theorizing about using assets from maps that even we don't know about yet, but that CNS has their hands on 🤔

Things seem related but not that related (between the two locations of red & yellow)

[unborn pilot]

(6 layer cube, knotted sphere, sphere with cube outlines) these might have names. haven't looked into them, but considering we found everything else just tonight who knows

[bright ruin]

Self contained relations in their respective zones is perhaps a better way to state it myself

[bright ruin]

Wait, I know this is 3d so humor me but, that sphere in a cube

There's the saying of "Squaring a circle"
Perhaps it's a relation somehow

For the charm, have we tried emot's on all the dolphin bumps on the river. General question.

[sinful verge]

dolphins are psychos and might actually deserve to be blown up on occasion

[tight granite]

I’m not sure this is the solution (also goes against the no equipment theory ongoing) but because people keep bringing up throwing items to them/bouncing balls:
You can dematerialize equipment and it turns into a random model, are any of those closely related to a sphere/ball?

[crystal gale]

Grande them all?

Throw barrels from platform to platfot?

[mystic storm]

Anyone hear the announcers talk about the swan song?

[spring thistle]

no?

[mystic storm]

"this aint no swan song" I am looking it up now

[spring thistle]

ah yes

I've heard that a couple of times

also why tf is the slowmode still active

[tight granite]

Because we’re slow

[dim totem]

In case you are not native speakers / don't know about the idiom, I don't think talking about a swan song is relevant. It is the last work of an artist before dying

is there a pyramid of some kind on sys horizon?

i just found a 3 month old post on the cns subreddit that might have some correlation to the easter egg hunt in some way, its probably been mentioned here before though

https://www.reddit.com/r/cns/comments/1b68g21/3l1l1l/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

the section near the middle more towards the bottom mentions civil, nautical, and astronomical... not sure what the civil part would be about but the nautical part was the dolphins and the astronomical part is probably a mention to rob saying something about the monkeys only appearing during a specific astronomical event iirc

[outer portal]

nautical
astronomical

[tight cloak]

and theres a slightly legible word before nautical that says what i assume is pyramid

[spring thistle]

One night meaning:
Civil
Nautical
Astronomical

[outer portal]

oh
thats interesting
let me record that

[tight cloak]

makes me think thats an additional hint towards the charm in some way?? possibly. i dont know

theres also this under that specific paragraph, the last one before the bottom of the page. it has this section thats slightly legible as well

299,792 and 29,979

theres also another page entirely that has S Lies on it, that ones also probably been shown here as well

Is this all new info? Or has it been disclosed before?

[unborn pilot]

discussed a while ago but nothing came of it. We consider that document unsolved

[tight cloak]

Got it, well we might have solved a bit more of it now that we've figured out what the easter eggs are about now if thats something 🤷

[tight cloak]

This might confirm something with the vegas constellation easter egg too, considering that theres been some talk about pyramids. Unless that document is where that theory was founded

[unborn pilot]

I think it’s supposed to help us solve those other numbers / coordinates possibly.

[outer portal]

omg, i just flipped the letter
CZNY stands out obviously now, i cant believe i didnt see it before

What is this?????

[shadow shore]

@unborn pilot Remember when we were talking about if a monke just blatantly being on the ground earlier??

#easter-eggs message

[shadow shore]

Good job!

[unborn pilot]

haha. awesome. gg @tight granite

[thin perch]

Ooh someone should catalogue that

[drifting spruce]

crazy

[unborn pilot]

can you explain where that is so we can mark it on the map?

[smoky rapids]

right in front of the oval diamond sign building near royal plaza

[spare plover]

oh a 5th one was found?

[elfin storm]

Yeah here

[shadow shore]

Gotta be forest or park

[spare plover]

interesting

[carmine trench]

It looks like one per section

[elfin storm]

Has too be forest its a monkey

[carmine trench]

So just search the last 4 sections

[eternal violet]

There's 11 sections

[carmine trench]

Hotels and cliffside really something separate? I felt the park was just one big thing. Didn’t realize it was split in two

[hollow flame]

it's definitely clear that there's amoneky in each part of the map-

[carmine trench]

But just 9 monkeys or 11? Last I heard it was just 9

[unborn pilot]

Forest - on a wall or rock or as we found out behind the vines on a wall possibly
Construction - Lots of walls, concrete, ground here still.

[dusk veldt]

@tight granite well done

[eternal violet]

Currently 9, next season will be 11

[carmine trench]

Oh that would do it then, all locations

[dusk veldt]

There is a 100% monkeys in either hotels or shopping district. Due to the tutorial only being in those areas

Royal plaza is also in the tutorial but one was just found

[unborn pilot]

Maybe worth checking if it’s there in tutorial in royal but supposedly it shouldn’t be

[dusk veldt]

I would if i could, game is down for me. Am i misremembering this? There were monkeys in the tutorial no?

[carmine trench]

Wish there wasn't a 3 person requirement to search. I'd help out here and there

[spare plover]

? you only need 2

[unborn pilot]

Yeah and I’m in bed haha. None in tutorial though.

[carmine trench]

Still more than 1

[spare plover]

there’s a very good reason why private servers need 2 players to start

[dusk veldt]

Ah sucks, saw some people in here saying there was. Good to know ty

[dusk veldt]

Servers cost money thats why, the requirement of only 2 was because we asked alot and they said they would try

[carmine trench]

It's a map file, in the game, installed locally on the computer.

[shadow shore]

Am I doing this wrong?

[dense stag]

Did you look away for the full 10 seconds? Try standing closer so that you don't have to run up to it.

[shadow shore]

Pretty sure i did a few times yeah. But i'll check again later, off for now

[low escarp]

i just ran past that spot in a live game i didnt see it either

[dusk veldt]

Dude do you know how games work?

[spring thistle]

im playing on all low setting but that shudnt impact the EE right?

[elfin storm]

im playing as a light and cant seem to get it to spawn

• have the monkey off screen or further than 6m away
• wait 10seconds
• look at it/ walk in range

Look away.
Wait ten seconds (Look at the clock at the top for reference)
Pay attention

i can see all the other monkey just not this one for some reason

[spring thistle]

Looks like an issue of skill

[low escarp]

[cold heart]

idk i dont see it either 🤷‍♀️ something else is going on here I/we dont understand

[spring thistle]

I see it again.

Turn your graphics up. Just in case. I'm playing on everything max

[cold heart]

WAIT
its only on ultra settings?!?!

[inland hemlock]

good job finding that! im going to pretend that i did check the ground in the grids i had to search *gulp

[tight granite]

Can confirm was on ultra

[spring thistle]

I'm not saying it's only on ultra.

[cold heart]

no - I AM

[inland hemlock]

has rob been notified already? it shouldn't be that way

[inland hemlock]

i play on high, does it work?

[low escarp]

wait so all that sercing i did might have been for nothing cuz im playing on low

[hidden nacelle]

i play on all low, i can see them

[tight granite]

My egg broke the game Did I earn my Xx_xX

[cold heart]

including the 5th one?

[inland hemlock]

that one on the ground too?

[hidden nacelle]

haven't checked that one

[low escarp]

i can sell all except for the 5th on the street

[inland hemlock]

that's the one that seems to have problems

[cold heart]

not helpful then sorry - thats what we are trying to figure out 😅

[inland hemlock]

i'll switch to ultra next time i search, those two are great finds! gj yolks!

[cold heart]

gonna get proof in a sec

[tight granite]

@smoky rapids and I already decided we're gonna get tattoos

[cold heart]

check out this for the Epic settings 3HM thing: #1211002564015824906 message

...if anyone else could please confirm this (WITH VIDEO) that would be awesome

[inland hemlock]

got a lobby code?

[cold heart]

FLS5

[inland hemlock]

i'll take proof on all settings, doesn't seem hardware related so no need to list components

[tight granite]

Would've posted video proof but I like my screens W - I - D - E

[inland hemlock]

got it, i'll edit them in a single video soon

[cold heart]

nice one

i guess for now - unless we hear otherwise from SR.!

• then we might need to hunt on epic settings for the 3HM....

going to leave the lobby rn, thanks for confirming and helping guys and congrats again to @tight granite

[carmine trench]

I do actually. Long time was into level design.

I get this is a live service game and the reason behind having online only lobbies. But yeah, my point still stands.

[hard forge]

😞

[hard forge]

really?

[unkempt dune]

I seriously was looking on the ground over there earlier

[cold heart]

no #easter-eggs message

[tight granite]

It doesn't show in low/medium/high just tested in game, epic only 🙂

[hard forge]

Please notify in #1211002564015824906 thread.

[inland hemlock]

posting video there too

[hard forge]

Console users will be affected.

[dense stag]

I think their cost for running servers is higher than usual because they are running the destruction simulation on the servers, so that the destruction is same for all players. That's why they probably don't want people to be in one match each.

[carmine trench]

This is what I refer to, not requiring a lobby. Just let me load the map file in the game.. on my own. Locally. However, I'll say it again, I get it, it's live service and online only, for a reason.

[spring thistle]

Anyone tested to see if the fifth monkey is visible in the tutorial map?

[carmine trench]

Someone said it is not

[inland hemlock]

iirc rob confirmed that it's only in the monaco level

[spring thistle]

Tutorial is on Monaco

[inland hemlock]

#1211002564015824906 message

That was a response when asked if there were any in the tutorial

[cold heart]

im kinda tilted tbh... i went ROOMBA mode for hours (on high settings) - and im 95% sure i passed that spot
(looked straight down, and crab-walked the whole map)

[spring thistle]

Yes. But tutorial is literally Monaco

Lol

Y'all's names are getting to hard to read

[carmine trench]

I just tested it. It's not possible in tut level

[hard forge]

It has been found that the 5th 3HM is only visible on epic/ultra settings. (Videos are posted already)

Until SR addresses this issue;

• PC users who can run on epic/ultra should hunt in those settings.

• Console users, since it's not possible for you to change the settings, it's up to you if you want to hunt 3HM or not until future communications from Rob.

Good teamwork hunters to find the root cause.

[cold heart]

yep, can confirm its not on the Tutorial too... and im not that surprised
Rob *literally * told us it wasn't there

[low escarp]

same

[carmine trench]

Maybe it's intentional

Everyone go look in potato settings 😂

[low escarp]

i hape not

[hard forge]

that would be unfair.

[dense stag]

settings update: #1204475718747029535 message

[carmine trench]

Would it be? It's a community effort, someone was bound to run into it

[low escarp]

waht

[cold heart]

not if its inaccessible to console players - thats not fair....
youre right its a community effort, but everyone should be able to see it

[dense stag]

Rob wouldn't make a pay to win EE intentionally

[inland hemlock]

EEs are supposed to be visible on all settings, as rob stated already.
This one is just an oversight and will be fixed, unfortunate but now we know.

[tardy drum]

Also why no EE has used anything like weapons or abilities

[shadow shore]

Has anyone noticed this?

I feel like you need to shoot the right little square in each big square. Like that game, what's it called umm

Mindsweeper?

and if you shoot the wrong one, it deletes the whole cluster

[low escarp]

they break with 1shot?

[shadow shore]

yeah sometimes, like clusters break with one shot sorta thing. Then you shoot one and it vanishes only, it's weird haha

https://tenor.com/view/minesweeper-mine-sweeper-fast-speedrun-gif-24760449

This game it reminds me of

[astral marlin]

khe-khe *A dolphin playing Mindsweeper?"))

[spring thistle]

Good work. Glad I could help.

[hardy saddle]

I actually scanned the road around plaza for a while. Sucks that I couldn't see the monkey because of my settings

[hard forge]

imagine doing that for 4 months 🥹

[tight granite]

I put my settings to max bc I was checking the rafters/out of map, purely coincidental, sorry to those that were looking longer than I

[hardy saddle]

Well congrats cito. We're all a lil salty from the settings part lol

[hard forge]

Clarification from Rob
#1211002564015824906 message

[cold heart]

confirmed a bug, and will be resolved soon ^
this is the only monkey with this graphics settings problem - feel free to keep hunting on your usual settings

@tight granite you got a shiny Charizard 3HM

[tardy drum]

Also, confirmed only 7 monkey in game right now. Not 9.

That’s gonna be asked a lot tomorrow lol. “How do we know it’s only 7?
Only 7? Isn’t there 9??”

[hard forge]

no

[unkempt dune]

so he's waiting for S3 for +2?

[hard forge]

He said 7 can be found using the current method we are using.

[dusk veldt]

Exactly!

[tardy drum]

Just an update for Dolphin Charm:
Destroyed all destructible black boxes that are “waves” along the middle of SYS Horizon, no effect. Tried it going forward and going backward. No effect.
I feel like those aren’t added just for effect; to show where these “dolphins” jumped up and and down back into the black water/track.

[dusk veldt]

The other 2 most likely require emotes or something else

[hard forge]

in private lobby

[unkempt dune]

he's expecting us to not find them before then

[astral marlin]

with using emote you mean like - emote will make something appear or what?

[unkempt dune]

or...

[dusk veldt]

Might be yes

[tardy drum]

Again, no confirmation on whether it will work and show an effect in private via. Public or only public so I’m doing what I can now without degrading the experience for public players at the moment.

[unkempt dune]

maybe the last 2 are ones that show up on your screen and not in the world..

[eternal violet]

im I blind or I don't see "current method" mentioned?

[tardy drum]

Not talking about making the charm appear, I’m talking about getting a visual or audio cue of it working correctly *

[eternal violet]

he just said "currently in the game"

[dusk veldt]

This seems reasonable, he said ”7 in game”

[inland hemlock]

maybe on a website?

[tardy drum]

He said “7 currently in game” there not 9. We may have miscounted

[inland hemlock]

Ospuze's?

[tardy drum]

“Seven currently in game”

[tardy drum]

That doesn’t mean the last two are in game, he could be speaking about how hard the future ones will be

Edit; Next two

[dusk veldt]

That could be alot of things, them being in idk settings, or the main menu etc

[sharp flame]

some people did say 9 monkeys to be found, the correct answer is 7

[unkempt dune]

and the last two require some ... time

[sharp flame]

we don't know how the other 2 are found, "in game" could be "in map", but maybe the other 2 are in Menus, UI, website, other places

[tardy drum]

Sorry Fish, didn’t mean to reply to you on that, lol

[spring thistle]

What if I say Nuh uh

[sharp flame]

but we KNOW there are 2 more, after the 7. but right now we can only focus on the 7

[tardy drum]

Probably one hidden in this discord somewhere if that’s the case lol

[dawn elm]

maybe

[spring thistle]

I doubt that

[dusk veldt]

Perhaps when we find the 7 we get some sort of guidance towards the other 2, for now lets focus on the other remaining ones. Were so close

[smoky rapids]

#easter-eggs message

[spring thistle]

Can't. Tried so hard.

[smoky rapids]

interesting rob quote to revisit

[spring thistle]

I just

[sharp flame]

when we find 2 more Monkeys we should take a step back and think about the current locations

map them out, see what the locations spell

[fallow merlin]

nobody's unlocked the Dolphin Charm correct?

[white estuary]

Nobody showed up to show off.

[fallow merlin]

alright thanks

[spring thistle]

The Dolph

Dolphin*

[fresh quiver]

9 things for the monkeys. not 9 monkeys per se.
everyone just accepted it that there are 9 monkeys lol.

#easter-eggs message

[spring thistle]

So I guess we can figure out two more things after finding the 7 monkeys

[fresh quiver]

next rob tells us there is a hidden 3hm spray to unlock 😄

[spring thistle]

Yeah make the spray the same size as the ee monkeys to make for some serious fakery

[sharp sentinel]

3HM is priority right now, because the "riddle" will become harder to solve when more monkeys are added, and monkeys get added at the start of every season, so it would be good to know as many S2 or earlier monkeys as possible

[crystal aurora]

right behind you ping?

[sharp sentinel]

Also, because the monkey riddle is the only thing left that we need for the password #easter-eggs message

how does that mean were going to japan

[sterile depot]

what? where is this on the map?

[leaden sun]

dunno

[low escarp]

u are going to brazil japan

[sterile depot]

did you do the screenshot?

[leaden sun]

sakura tree

[sinful verge]

we are 99% going to japan based on the season 3 song that was "leaked" on CNS

[snow nacelle]

a red cubes floating and sakura doesnt relate at all

[subtle nebula]

Is there anywhere that confirms if the dolphin charm EE is going away with the start of season 3 like the cannon EE?

[leaden sun]

i’m not talking abt the PINK cubes

[sinful verge]

Also the Haiku from CNS as well

[snow nacelle]

the song sounded like space themed to me but the haiku theory is pretty strong i think were going to japan too but red cubes and japan does not have relation

[subtle nebula]

I just am concerned on missing another time limited EE because we’re focusing on making the big one easier even though we have unlimited time to solve it

[snow nacelle]

h then what is it

[leaden sun]

the pink particels

[snow nacelle]

ye how does that relate

[leaden sun]

it looks like the leafs

[sinful verge]

"Eternal petals in the wind" sounds kinda like japan

[snow nacelle]

ok

[snow nacelle]

was that theeee song name?

[sinful verge]

yeah

[ocean sequoia]

Just coming in to say that all of the music Razor 1911 made is so damn good

[snow nacelle]

wait lemme translate that idk english very well

[snow nacelle]

aaa yee kinda but if they added "pink" im gonna be sure its japan idk

[sinful verge]

i dont know how that translated but in english that is just screaming Japan

[ocean sequoia]

This was discussed extensively yesterday and the conclusion was definitely Japan

[snow nacelle]

aa ok

maybe deepl translate is inaccurate idk
