[nimble falcon]

I have an image of a screen on one of the maps with japanese lettering, no idea if it's been found yet

[leaden sun]

send it to me, then i’ll post it

[nimble falcon]

Why did I lose the ability to type in 3 Headed Monkey?

[leaden sun]

these signs are all over Soul, right.? by: @nimble falcon

[naive kernel]

I'm assuming this is just Korean, not Japanese

[tight cloak]

yeah Seoul is based in Korea, its just korean

[nimble falcon]

Tapir informed me of that yeah, I don't know the difference ._.

So are the levels new? I was able to chat in 3 headed monkey on friday

[spring thistle]

Can I get a zoomed out view so I can see where it is

[nimble falcon]

second floor Seoul hospital by the front windows

[spring thistle]

[atomic rock]

wrong map

[leaden sun]

uhh no

[spring thistle]

Yeah I was confused too

[atomic rock]

i missed first message mybad

[leaden sun]

my bad 😅

[alpine junco]

Genuine question, does anyone read the #egg-hunt-onboarding anymore?

[tight cloak]

I glance over it every once and a while.

[inland hemlock]

When linked to it, most people skip around it, the problem is that they receive so much information that they don't know anything about.

The current infos displayed there are great, but scary for newcomers, especially for people that never participated in any EE Hunt, we should instead have a brief explanation of the currently researched EEs and why we are working on them. We should also give them a brief explanation on how we use threads and why.

All of the information kept in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078 should stay there for people that want to research or check on old information as you don't need to know all the past tiers in order to get up to speed.

Unfortunately there isn't a proper fix to this problem, adding a "press the reaction in order to see the EEs channels" would make more people read it but even then you can just skip and react, and it wouldn't really be the best option to lock EEs behind a role for various reasons.

I know we already have a brief summary of active EEs but it still doesn't seem to work very well

The problems might be that people don't want to read long messages OR is that they somehow don't see the https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078 at all.

To me Justice did a very good job but i've seen alot of people only receiving half of the information on there

[mystic storm]

anyone want to ee hunt?

[inland hemlock]

Hey, there's a lobby going in #1217498821563514951 message

[steady nymph]

has the dolphin ee been activated in a public match already?

[inland hemlock]

That's a negative, keep up with it here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1243224234675802135

[low escarp]

the dolphin yes the dolphin charm no

[steady nymph]

so the charm isn't figured out yet?

[inland hemlock]

nope

[low escarp]

nope

[steady nymph]

kinda annoying that it can't be done in a private match

[inland hemlock]

there's a reason why and "we'll understand" says rob

[steady nymph]

yeah but what happened when they activated dolphins in a public match?

same as when it was done in a private or did something else happen too?

[inland hemlock]

it was the same

[acoustic viper]

i was just in a $$yshorizon sunset round and managed to get on top of the one elevated big cube next to the cetatea tiles and saw that there was another similar one on top of that cube but i didnt see any kind of letter. also i found out you can get on top of the blocks that are going up into the sky on the other building next to the tiles. it probably has been tried already but i just wanted to mention it. i have screenshots but cant share any yet

[tight cloak]

dm me and i can post them

[acoustic viper]

hold on

[dim totem]

can you not spam everythread with pointless messages? thanks

yeah well go away

you know what's rude? this

you're not talking in chat

[jade citrus]

enjoy the 3 day mute brother

[hearty meteor]

ty i was about to ping you LMAO

[inner sand]

Thanks smashel, Justice was taking his sweet time

[acoustic viper]

i got so lucky getting sunset horizon 2 times in a row lol

[crystal aurora]

anyone know what the pink cirlces on vegas are?

cant post a pic yet or i would

[inland hemlock]

i can repost that for you

[crystal aurora]

not sure if its exclusive but this is on terminal

[inland hemlock]

judging by how pointy this is and what it looks like clipping, it might be a graphical glitch of some sort, first time i've seen this one

[crystal aurora]

i saw another one too but it could be :/

[shrewd fog]

looks like an eyeball or 0

[tight cloak]

that almost looks like the circle of an enemy APS turret

[fallen jasper]

PURPLE ROLE? The hell is that

[hearty meteor]

mod

[fallen jasper]

Didnt know

[jade citrus]

wait lmao it does, or the top of a dome shield maybe

[inland hemlock]

dome has less opacity im pretty sure

[ocean sequoia]

anyone ever see the yelllow rectangular boxes on monaco spawn in? It was a blue translucent cube then just spawned in

[sour needle]

thats normal always happens

[ocean sequoia]

got it

I figured as much

[tight cloak]

i think we've exhausted most of the ideas for the dolphin charm at the moment...

[inland hemlock]

Looks like it was just a bug and not text

more brightness

it's just stretching from the reversed text coming from the other side of the gun

[sleek stratus]

thats morse i think

[tight cloak]

not for anything that makes sense

[hearty meteor]

does it say explore destroy conquer on the other side?

[inland hemlock]

Alter exploit destroy

[junior thicket]

ya finally found the MONKE'

well done

[hearty meteor]

i misremembered

[inland hemlock]

eeeh you can't see the end and it gives nothing: ITIETTTSMVV
and then it goes on but it's veeery hard to make out

[sacred bane]

Didn't Rob just send something similar a couple days ago?

#1204475718747029535 message

Similar

[kind moat]

Has any progress been made on the dolphin ee?

[dim totem]

no

[tardy drum]

“quess” and not guess? 🤔

[marble lance]

evening, eggtectivesI just chanced on something quite hacky seeming: when you check the statistics section in game, within a few minutes a green glowing grid will show in the bottom right corner. could be nothing, could be of interest. will text it in here and "CNS posts".

[dim totem]

It's already been posted, and we all think it's probably a bug

[marble lance]

I see. thx

[lyric stratus]

this is in the launch screen today, dont think was there before

6567

[tardy drum]

My door codes on Rust, gotta change that, CNS knows 🤔

Also do throwable things respawn? Like the goo barrels and stuff

[unborn pilot]

Number has been there since launch. It’s not ee related.

[unborn pilot]

Don’t think so. I think once used they are gone for rest of match

[odd hemlock]

They get replaced im pretty sure

but by different types

[smoky rapids]

\

[tardy drum]

Same bro

[smoky rapids]

oops shout out to my cat

[untold mauve]

Hey just wanted to check in and ask has anyone tried moving that giant chrome ball to the dolphins when your triggering the animated dolphin easter egg?

[sacred bane]

BZYR 3HM

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. I got it out into the water even and they clip right through it. Sadly nothing special happens.

[sacred bane]

Prioritize Hotels, North Forest, and Cliffside. Best bets!

[elfin storm]

:3 In forest now

Have.... have we checcked all tree stumps..?

[unborn pilot]

ALL?? what are we monkeys??? Jk. We’ve looked at a ton, but highly unlikely in a lot of detail.

[tight cloak]

the monkeys are probably on flat surfaces since they've been on flat surfaces

[sacred bane]

they also haven't required ANY destruction.

[elfin storm]

mm mmm

[unborn pilot]

If we don’t have any on two of the same type of surface I’m looking at:
(S)idewalk
(P)uddle
(A)lley
(M)etal Frame
and also any other Rock or Wall

[sacred bane]

mmm now I'm hungry.

[elfin storm]

SPAM hahaha

[unborn pilot]

Easy to remember

[sacred bane]

was 5 by a threeway sign?

checked the map, nope.

[elfin storm]

I can never seem to get the one in the plaza to spawn

[dry belfry]

EAC launcher's version, i guess

[shrewd fog]

even with epic settings? i don’t think the fix is live, not sure though

[tardy drum]

Can anyone confirm if these red grids show up when finishing a game on SYS (sunset) please?

[elfin storm]

KCTD :3

3HM hunt

[sacred bane]

if you were in BZYR, leave and join above

[lyric stratus]

You always get the red lines in power shift if you lose

[tardy drum]

Thanks for confirming. I guess I never lose 🤪

[sacred bane]

JQAB
switching to Solo bank it

[native pivot]

Does anyone think thowing something maybe a cash box a set distance (far) and then catching it before it hits the ground could be anything?

[sacred bane]

for which EE?

[native pivot]

Sorry Dolphin charm

Kinda like how dolphins throw things out of the water

[sacred bane]

throw them a cashbox (I'm sure that's been tried... but jsut in cast it hasn't)

[native pivot]

I mean I’ve done that on other maps but not SYS

[sacred bane]

I'm confused. You threw the dolphins a cashbox on another map?

[native pivot]

No I misunderstood

[sacred bane]

Shock barrels should turn off the Finals Advert tvs. change my mind.

[native pivot]

But for that theory the cashbox would just come back

[sacred bane]

Maybe it comes back with a charm 😉

[shrewd fog]

diamond cloud on monaco?? probs just a visual glitch (ignore the voice comms)

[sacred bane]

Just noticed the watch shows my local time. That's a sexy little feature. thanks, someone.

[hard forge]

The sponsors won't like it.

[unborn pilot]

what's odd it's almost like a diamond transforming into a moon

[shadow shore]

#1201288968562552863 message

I'm nearly straight under it here for another view

[sacred bane]

I always thought that's what the gas escaping a bullet hole in a parade balloon would look like. That sort of plume(?) of vapor

[copper sequoia]

Known graphic thing. Been confirmed to not be EE related

[split sentinel]

sometimes in games now i see a weird blueish lens flare and faint 3d scanlines that persist for a while when the match starts, is that an end of season thing or just a bug?

[wicked gulch]

Has this been discovered yet? My man @cobalt timber found it

[gloomy anvil]

that's a spray 😅

[wicked gulch]

Lol

My b

[gloomy anvil]

at least I think so

yeah

[wicked gulch]

Lol

[lunar geyser]

hi

(Guru Meditation 84000001 . 2F434E53) Does anyone know what this means at the end of the credits?

[smoky rapids]

seems to be an error message that originated from the amiga computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation

[dusk veldt]

we havent figured out the connection yet no

[lunar geyser]

And could the numbers be some type of code or secret?

[smoky rapids]

The second set of numbers is hexadecimal and translates to "/cns" in ascii

[dusk jolt]

Did the devs mention potentially giving clues that may help solve the easter egg before S2 is over?

[bright sinew]

Probably not. Rob is giving clues consistently, after all.

[dusk veldt]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1245543670283894785Scroll to "Dolphin" some of the leads that have been given are in there(not the latest ones)

You need to get 1 level in the Discord to see these threads so write 35 messages in places like #⚡┇the-finals-chat but no spam etc because they ban that

[subtle nebula]

@proud minnow can the dolphin charm only be unlocked on Sys$horizon? or are we thinking too narrowly?

[dusk veldt]

We usually dont ping Rob that much, since he has notifications on. So we try to keep it to a low, to maintain his sanity. That being said, since its connected to the other dolphin EE with them swimming around, i strongly doubt its on other maps

But it being on other variants(so not only sunset) is a theory being discussed alot recently

due to Rob's ever-growing cryptic messages ._.

[subtle nebula]

just making sure since its so close to season end. And so much focus seems to be on the 3HM, i just wAnted to make sure the few of us trying to unlock the charm are in the right ball park 😅

[subtle nebula]

right. i know he cant give away too much haha

[dusk veldt]

people have been trying to find the 3HM for faaar longer then the charm. So the fact it was found recently is MASSIVE so the focus on that is understandable. Thank you for continuing the work on the charm atleast

[subtle nebula]

Thank you and dont get me wrong, I am so grateful that we have so many easter eggs to be working on!

i love the passion that the people at Embark put into into this game

[dusk veldt]

Good clarification from Rob:

Yes no EE’s are behind any paywalls (if we don’t accidentally mess up, haha… but then we will fix it OFC…)

he didn say paid cosmetics though

[bright ruin]

That’d be a pay wall

[tardy scroll]

Emote activation maybe?

[dusk veldt]

doesnt have to be, could be some way to get the cosmetics. Most likely through the coins they give out for free etc

[bright ruin]

Giving out occasional free currency doesn’t make the item not a pay wall, it just means you were given some paid currency for free

Now, something like the community event cosmetics could potentially end up being EE related/activation for an Ee at some point

[dusk veldt]

Could also be like the dolphin charm? that we do something EE related and it gives us a item

[bright ruin]

I was wondering as we talk about this but… if EE were ever tied to cosmetics we have to use, they’d have to be permanently obtainable, else the EE itself might be time limited in nature. Perhaps worth getting Rob to clarify plans, if any, for EE that require cosmetics to activate/find

[dusk veldt]

This feels worthy of a ping, @proud minnow 👆

[quaint wing]

Pretty positive Rob's stated numerous times no special cosmetics to do things. Everything required will be in the game. No paywall, just eggs. Lots of cosmetics have EE's tied into them, or in some cases were hints to help us find passwords, but you didn't need to purchase them to put the EE's in em to use.

[tardy drum]

That and again, why no EE have needed abilities, weapons, etc…

[quaint wing]

Exactly. The rules are simple, everyone just overcomplicates it. That's why it took us 3 months to find the last password, lmao

[dusk veldt]

Not for the big hunt though? #easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

No. The big hunt is what we're currently working on. The three steps to unlock the password for this level.

[dusk veldt]

thats what i mean, theres so much stuff not related to the big hunt, some of which are in here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1245543670283894785 . Im tired of the monkeys i want to find other cool stuff ._.

[dusk veldt]

Yes i know that, but there are other EEs so the clarification must still be made

[bright ruin]

My statement was based on future tense. It was specifically pondering if things were to happen that way

Im aware of current EE circumstances, but just because no EE so far have been tied to gadgets, cosmetics, etc. doesn’t entirely rule out the future possibilities I was questioning

Doesn’t have to be EE tied to our main hunt either. Could just be a unique interaction. Cannon EE were their own thing for instance

[mystic storm]

has anyone mentioned that you can get the ball on sys outside of the map?

[odd hemlock]

Many times

[mystic storm]

ty

[odd hemlock]

It still might be valid but youd have to be creative on how to use it

[pure loom]

you kinda swim in an anti grav cube

[tardy drum]

But can that be done as a Light solo though

[dim totem]

no because you don't have cube as light

/joke

[crystal aurora]

lights gateway may act the same if we apply what rob said...

[spring thistle]

Any new monkeys?

[willow coral]

I think at the green house you have this infinite roof

Have you tried to use gateway to get in there? maybe idk

[tidal forge]

See https://discordapp.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1211002564015824906

Currently at 5

[spring thistle]

I know about the 5

[drifting spruce]

whaddup eggers

[jaunty mirage]

Is that the arc logo?

[naive kernel]

That's what I initially thought when we saw it on the circuit splash image, but it's got an extra 2 colours on it so probably not.

[jaunty mirage]

yeah

[white estuary]

TV tuning signal, the whole season is smeared with this. look at the clothes in battlepass

[jaunty mirage]

oh yeah mb

[jaunty mirage]

ur right

[atomic rock]

Do we think there’s going to be any Easter egg hints hidden In Whatever embark is showing at summer games fest?

[low escarp]

i mean we have to check just to make sure

[white estuary]

They will, in theory, release the announcement of s3 on the channel

[atomic rock]

True, I feel like we’re seeing mostly things about season 3 finals and ark raiders

Maybe finally see a glimpse of the frog skin lol

[dusk veldt]

Has anyone here managed to dig up more on Rzr 1911 and FLT?

[ocean sequoia]

Was digging a bit yesterday. I did find that DICE was founded by four members of a cracker group called Silents. It also seems that season 2 is a nod to rzr 1911 and the whole cracker/demo scene

Also the demo by razor 1911 called "pirates of the 777 seas" sounds almost identical to the music in season 2

I wouldn't be surprised if Rob or any of the other founders of Embark were a part of the cracker scene back in the day

[dusk veldt]

Rob was a part of some yes! I believe other founders were too!

[dusk veldt]

Yep this was found. The first part wasnt i believe. So good find

[hard forge]

I did some digging too

#1196200683129548902

[thorny gorge]

Idk if this counts but have you guys seen the red petals from the respawn animation?

I think it pretty much confirms s3 is Japan themed based on the other "leaks"

[hard forge]

huh?

[thorny gorge]

I don't have a clip rn

But you know how everything fades in when you respawn?

[hard forge]

do you mean the shattered red glass as soon as you enter the arena?

[thorny gorge]

Yea

It's glass? I thought it looked like petals or leaves

[hard forge]

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-go-lets-go-gif-4889109226193957320

[thorny gorge]

No not that stuff it's after you enter

[hard forge]

i am pointing at red glass which breaks and we can see it

[thorny gorge]

Wdym

[mystic cloak]

I thought it was petals too but it's definitely glass

[spring thistle]

I don't think it breaks

[mystic cloak]

when you spawn it shatters and pieces fall to the ground

[smoky socket]

Hey, do you guys know what is this glitch effect when you hover on "play" in lobby? It it like a glitch or is there something behind it?

[thorny gorge]

Yea that's what I'm talking about

Does anyone know the significance?

[hidden nacelle]

its just the way the contestants are entering the arena, nothing more too it

[inland hemlock]

hayo, forgot to send this in yesterday, it do be APS

@crystal aurora

[inland hemlock]

That happens sometimes when alt tabbing or the loading does a silly, you just see your camera where it spawns

[umbral flax]

Thanks for the clarification 👍

[alpine junco]

FYI pinging rob will not give you any hints or clues

[spring thistle]

Uh

ok.

[dusk veldt]

Yes a holy rule is to not if it isnt very important

[urban hazel]

do we know if all the 3HM are outside or not. Sorry if this has already been clarified

[inland hemlock]

We know that they are on Indestructible Surfaces only

[urban hazel]

cool

[alpine junco]

It’s because a lot of new hunters are pinging him and it’s kinda forbidden to summon him for nothing

[spring thistle]

Fair

[urban hazel]

since you cannot see the generator 3HM on the duck and cover version is it possible some of the others are exclusive to some versions of the monaco map

[dense stag]

Things don't really change on the other variations. Suspended structures adds geometry but all of it is destructible (maybe the hooks?).
Power shift adds some jump pads.
Am I missing anything?

[frigid pond]

anyone got the last intro vid?

[dense stag]

u mean this? #1245303150194331709 message

[errant mica]

I don’t even now where to start with the Easter egg hunting

I read through all the previous levels and opened the level 3 activation page and I’m overwhelmed 🤣

Any Recommendations guys?

[inland hemlock]

Hi, here you can find a list of EE that are being worked on: #egg-hunt-onboarding message

The one with more action as of now is: #1211002564015824906 message

and this one comes second: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1243224234675802135

[frigid pond]

yea thx

[inland hemlock]

If you can't see the threads you need to level up by having 35 messages in the server (don't spam tho )

[errant mica]

So what item has a mirror property ingame

Off rip I can think of the chrome sphere on system horizon

[smoky rapids]

That's about it afaik

[native pivot]

There is five chrome pillars around the art gallery

[smoky rapids]

right those too

[native pivot]

And there are seven chrome post’s (these are unique, only ones on the map)

At the back side of the art gallery

[errant mica]

And are there three headed monkeys on system horizon

[native pivot]

Not that I know of

[errant mica]

I don’t think I’ve seen any mirrors on monaco

[smoky rapids]

all monkeys currently in-game are in monaco

[sterile sluice]

May be a stretch.. with a whole lot of no meaning, but has anyone looked into if there's a specific reason dying to the "void/out of bounds" does the specific number it has? I don't know the exact number atm, but it's a very specific number.

[native pivot]

I’m thinking with the hint of “a light could potentially get the charm solo” it has to do with horizontal movement of some kind. Because there isn’t much a light can MAYBE do solo since medium can move better vertical and heavy doesn’t really have any advantage movement related

You might have to get to multiple points in a short period of time or be in multiple places at once,(ie have a squad.

[austere palm]

It's the 32 bit integer limit

[tardy drum]

That, or requires the stealth of a light to do something without dying. Could also be time based and Light could dash/grapple

[native pivot]

Yeah but that wouldn’t totally fit with the hint of, what would a dolphin do. They aren’t the sneakiest of critters

And those things are also things ONLY light can do. The hint made it sound like having a squad is intended.

[tardy drum]

Well, the standard way to do the EE is with more than one person. Non-standard would be solo Light, and I’m only explaining how we would use the abilities not what we would do, so “what a dolphin would do” still stands.

We just don’t know specifically what that is, lol whether that’s jumping up and over every black box or water wave, or throwing stuff to each other, who knows

[jovial tartan]

I think as far as the monkey EE goes we really need to try and find the other 6 monkeys before we can make any progress on that.

With the dolphins, can you throw anything outside of the map or do the walls keep everything inbounds?

[tardy drum]

6? Arent there only 2 left?

[jovial tartan]

I thought we only found 3?

[tardy drum]

And EE don’t do anything out of bounds.

@jovial tartan refer to #1211002564015824906

[bright ruin]

Or refer to #egg-hunt-onboarding where you can find all the rules and important info

[old junco]

does anyone have a dolphin charm private match i could join? :)

[bright ruin]

We have found 5 of 7 🙂

[bright ruin]

Yes, you can throw stuff outside the map! Unfortunately, you cannot throw yourself outside the map 😛

[errant mica]

When will all the EE pinned conversations show up in the tab

Do I need to reach a status of some sort

FWTD if anyone wants to look for the dolphin charm with me :)

my apologies, cant spell for the life of me

nevermind, don't worry :)

yes please :) ill make a new lobby

[tardy drum]

@old junco please use #1217498821563514951 also, in order to truly unlock the charm, you need to be in a public game. That said, we have no confirmation of doing the steps correctly will show anything on a private match (while not rewarding the dolphin charm itself)

[old junco]

ah, thank you :)

thought i might try to look in a private match, i always hate when i get those teamates that wander off half way through 🤣

[velvet narwhal]

@old junco can't write in threads yet. It's ok to post here meanwhile

[pure loom]

Rob never confirmed this though, did he? I think he just says he 'solved' it.

But he was impatient about that recently and asked about it if we solved it or not twice!!

Let me link you the messages

[mystic storm]

I wish there was a weekly stream that we could all watch too that was ee specific

[untold mauve]

if its ok to post here i have a question about the practice range ee. Not sure if this is something everyone knows about already but there is a way to get outside of the map in the practice range and see other players. And i saw someone mention the 5 roses may require multiple players in one of the other threads. It seems like it probably wouldn't be related to the EE and just maybe a cost saving thing. But im really curious has anyone tried queue sniping the practice range to find clues? There are also two bushes outside the map which also is probably nothing but felt worth mentioning.

[hard forge]

The weekly stream sounds too much if you see our progress speed.

[hard forge]

as mentioned in #egg-hunt-onboarding EE are not OOB (out of bounds)

[untold mauve]

oh ok. fair enough. just curious

[unborn pilot]

His word choice was interesting but it feels like we were on the right track.

[pure loom]

The 666 thing seems too much of a coincidence, but if that part is right what would the night be?

[unborn pilot]

Oh wait you’re talking about 3 dawns. Yeah that message is out of place. I was replying to something else there for RZR not dawn.

[pure loom]

[unborn pilot]

If it showed seconds it would say :00 and :01

[pure loom]

why do we have such a long slow mode in this channel?

[bright ruin]

I think it's server wide

Oh jk the times are different elsewhere, in that case I agree with Rockhound

[unborn pilot]

Ours is 15 sec?

[bright ruin]

Eggsecutive lounge is 10 in off topic, 30 in other games & rank check

WHOA jk rank check is 30 minutes

Makes sense, I just didn't read it right the first time

[snow walrus]

I wasn't paying attention to hunt these days

[hard forge]

no wonder we are not progressing

[tardy drum]

So this is what he’s doing when he’s not replying to us 🤔

Obviously a Rob reference as well.

[hard forge]

haha you found it too 😆

[dusk veldt]

Found more talk about different cracking groups, old message in the #⚡┇the-finals-chat chat for some reason. #⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[marsh wolf]

where is that???

[dusk veldt]

did we ever figure out the G6 chord?

[hasty anvil]

yeah just G=6=vi

[dusk veldt]

ty, just trying to figure out Rob messages

[hard forge]

are you for real? XD

[dusk veldt]

idk im tired hehe

...CNS has been part of the lore for a long time and CNS will play a big role in the game... BUT that Closed Beta video is not really from SYS$HORIZON... BUT if you look towards the horizon... what do you see...?

do you guys see anything?

[tardy drum]

Someone will see a 3HM with enough time

[tardy drum]

Las Vegas map, right in the open of everything lol

[marsh wolf]

[marsh wolf]

wait what video was rob referring to
like legit i was trolling before but im interested

[hard forge]

Nothing

hidden rock song in the alley...? #easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

Death by Rhodent

[copper willow]

Wasn't there a place on Vegas where you could go up to a door to listen through it?

Swear I remember something like that, or it's from old COD Zombies.

[dusk veldt]

but is that hidden really?

[unkempt dune]

nah, I think there's a different hidden one

I've heard an unknown song while loading in and I have no clue where it plays

[hasty anvil]

'hidden' he says

[unkempt dune]

one of these days I'll get a clip of it

it does sound nice from what I've heard of it

[dusk veldt]

might be related to goats, there is this swedish message he sent once regarding vegas

[unkempt dune]

it's not the stage music and not the rhodent music

sounds a bit pop instead of rock.. but I don't know my genres

[dusk veldt]

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

and here also #easter-eggs message

I think its related, one of the messages was written within the same context as the first one that indicates there is a hidden one

[sour needle]

do you mean the rat rock band?

[unkempt dune]

nah, that's metal (I think?)

it's not the rhodent band that I'm talking about

[gloomy anvil]

I keep forgetting that this clip exists

[gusty timber]

Would it not be better to look at the actual skyline?

unrelated to the CNS bit but rewatching the video is making me wonder what this tower is

[hasty anvil]

mirrors edge reference?

[hasty anvil]

Also in front of the logo looks like planets

Just seen that's a fanart image...but the real one looks similar

[gusty timber]

Ooooh, can someone just make sure I'm not mental for seeing 'CNS' flashing on the cashout when they pass under a light at ~0:12? It might also just be saying 'THE FINALS' but just making sure :D
Edit: Ah wait that's definitely just 'THE FINALS', false alarm :(

[gusty timber]

Wondering if it's a real world skyscraper, that looks sick tho

[hasty anvil]

It could literally be Seoul lol

[bronze bison]

i mean could this be the shard (london)?

Potentially connected to the hidden song:
#⚡┇the-finals-chat message
#easter-eggs message

[dusk veldt]

the hidden thing in the launch trailer could be for S3 or S4🤔

[unkempt dune]

ran into this, but I don't know if it's related to anything: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperides

In Greek mythology, the Hesperides ... are the nymphs of evening and golden light of sunsets, who were the "Daughters of the Evening" or "Nymphs of the West". They were also called the Atlantides ... from their reputed father, Atlas.

Hesiod says that these "clear-voiced Hesperides", daughters of Nyx (night), guarded the golden apples beyond Ocean in the far west of the world, gives the number of the Hesperides as four, and their names as: Aigle (or Aegle, "dazzling light"), Erytheia (or Erytheis), Hesperia ("sunset glow") whose name refers to the colour of the setting sun, red, yellow, or gold; and lastly Arethusa.

[sleek stratus]

Kinda looks like the shard in London?

Could be wrong

[tight cloak]

anything new?

[dry belfry]

Hidden rock song? You mean a rock song with vocal?

[unborn pilot]

They play 3 whole songs!

[alpine junco]

i love watching the old trailers, just gotta find the 20-60 clues that are in them

i think there are more but thats what i remember rob saying

[spring thistle]

New monkey yet?

[alpine junco]

no

[crystal aurora]

so far I can make out the word "three" when playing horizon CNS sign audio in reverse

[smoky rapids]

i can take a look, can you link / send the audio files?

[crystal aurora]

ill dm you the one i recorded with the least non game audio 😂

[tight granite]

Are all the horizon CNS signs’ audio bits the same? I was thinking about what those jumbled messes are so if you guys decipher it then we’re gold

[crystal aurora]

theres multiple

[bright ruin]

@barren hound or @elder jasper

[crystal aurora]

two of the signs on the west side of horizon will give you the same audio or similar

[bright ruin]

Not decipherable

[alpine junco]

one is scotty and june commentating on a game and the big fish did something

[tiny musk]

I’ve sat on the ranked leagues screen for a while & there ends up being a big glitch in the right corner and bottom of the screen? I’d say wait like 35-45 seconds or something. Just popped up again. CNS trippping.

[faint rivet]

Is there another SYS EE ??

[strong remnant]

i've been hunting for the dolphin charm. i've found you can take the light class to syshorizon foggy map variant and toss sonar grenades near the edge of the water and you'll hear the dolphins call back to you faintly

[robust tiger]

U got any clips?

[strong remnant]

i dont know if something extra happens after that, like a platform or a room lighting up but the sonar grenades thrown extremely close to the water slightly out of bounds works

nope didn't think to do that lol

I tried taking the heavy and rolling the big metal ball to the water but that didn't do anything

i think i tried on the clear night variant but i'm not sure I heard the dolphins call back that time... my team was flaming me for chucking grenades near the water during powershift

I also chucked the grav cube numerous times around the ocean near the ocean and didn;t get anything

[silk bolt]

anyone else sees this as OG nuketown?

[quartz fable]

at second 7:09 is this picture here.

Anyone find the Dolphin Charm yet? If not Could it be related to the final skin for the AKM for the last Contract? has "From CNS ... With Love" on it which was in quotes in robs Original message?

[random nova]

[alpine junco]

Cetacea Networking Systems

[atomic rock]

I like this one

[inland hemlock]

hi, catch up here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078, in short, no we haven't found the Charm, and that quote is just one of CNS mottos

[fresh quiver]

which is just another embark motto they altered 😄

[errant mica]

S3 hype train

[ocean sequoia]

Yeah I was thinking about that and what CNS stands for. "central nervous system" doesn't make sense considering it's an acronym. In a message here #⚡┇the-finals-chat message Rob mentions known cracker groups by there abbreviations, all of which are not acronyms. RZR for Razor TSL for Silents PDX for Paradox

I'm thinking it's one word like conscious or something similar

[atomic rock]

What about TFL

[ocean sequoia]

could The Flerps

[atomic rock]

CetaceaNS

[ocean sequoia]

or The Flamoots

[atomic rock]

Truffle

[bright ruin]

Was it you who liked how well my comment the other day fit?

Cetacea Needs to Swim? 😆

[atomic rock]

I think so

[bright ruin]

Or was it needs swimming... idk it's somewhere in the chat logs

It was specifically "Cetacea Need to Swim"

[atomic rock]

My real question is if CNS and cetaceans have stuff to do with eachother how will that relate to getting the charm, like is it a code we put into the redeem section on the website or a password we find after 3HM

[bright ruin]

Oh it likely doesn't haha

SYS$HORIZON is CNS' made map. Therefore the Dolphins are also their addition. And the charm is probably a keepsake from them so to speak

But it's also to pin us in a good light, since it's their gift to the EE hunters, and it'll be our gift to the players

[bright ruin]

Most likely once triggered, I'd assume it's unlocked for everyone automatically. Like community event rewards are auto added to those who participated.

At least we assume it's awarded to all players, it may only be those in the match that the Charm's activation method is triggered. Meaning it'd have to be done multiple times / by other people who weren't in said lobby in order to unlock it themselves

[atomic rock]

The last part makes me think that us EE-hunters are working for CNS with all the other EEs

[bright ruin]

CNS does communicate directly with us after all.

I mentioned this yesterday, but with many nods to the matrix, us hunters being "neo" and CNS being the ones helping us break out of the "matrix" checks out

[atomic rock]

Part of me feels like this whole thing is a secret community challenge, one of the hints he gave us is to play the game and do what dolphins do, a lot of what dolphins do is work together and playing the game would work towards a challenge

Like maybe the community has to reach a certain amount of pings with sonar devices or something

[bright ruin]

Perhaps, but that seems like something that would be disclosed to use even in the form of a hint. Not being able to track such progress would cause us to stop using said mechanic if we didn't know that's what was needed

Playing the game just meant you have to play the actual game, not hunt in a private match. As for what would dolphins do, I think we're maybe focusing too much on specific things? Like... he asked that but also, never specified that it's ONLY one thing they do. It could be a chain of multiple things we have to recreate that dolphins do 🤔

[low escarp]

i think it has to be something you do intentionally not something the player base accidentally unlocks

[bright ruin]

Yeah, since it'll be "our gift" to the player base, having a random in the player base randomly unlock it kinda defeats CNS' intentions

[atomic rock]

The other thing is with this charm maybe it’s not even on SYS, like the cannon charm, there isn’t only one map in the game with cannons

[bright ruin]

Cannon charm was only monaco

[atomic rock]

Was that stated?

[bright ruin]

Dolphin charm not being on SYS also doesn't make much sense in general

[low escarp]

i have some thoughts about that too but i feel like im just delusional but ill try to cook a bit just need to figure some stuff out

[bright ruin]

Discord search isn't working so I have to dig 😭 gonna be a minute

[atomic rock]

It’s all good I’ll believe you

Anyways, I need to drive to get myself lunch but I’ll be able to focus on this for a little while when I eat

[robust tiger]

did anything come out from the THE_FINALS_I_Want_to image

#easter-eggs message

[hard forge]

yep, there is a thread with the same name

[robust tiger]

thank u

[vale igloo]

I think this is more lore related but this image was posted on the reddit awhile ago

it looks like a date 02/06/01

assuming the 06.01 part is June 1st. 02 could either mean Season 2, OR the year 2102 (not seen this brought up)

[bright ruin]

If that’s a date though, year doesn’t normally go first in numerical format right?

Typically it’s either month/day/year or day/month/year depending on where you live

February 6th, or June 2nd? Maybe like you said, year is something like 2101

[bright ruin]

Additional idea, IP address? CNS needing to be converted to numbers of course

[sleek stratus]

CNS released a teaser on the first

[eternal violet]

year goes first in ISO 8601, the only format that matters

but i think someone said that those are patch numbers, 2.6.1

[bright ruin]

Hmm yeah patch numbers makes sense

[plucky kettle]

iirc this was already discovered and I think @eternal violet is correct that it was the patch number

[odd gyro]

Cannon charm?

[bright ruin]

Season 1 EE we never solved before it left

[noble trellis]

anyone wanna try aand do the dolphin ee i got 3 ppl

copying this here, me and @hard forge where talking and found this too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jiraiya,-Sunrise-and-Boat-by-Utagawa-Kunisada-1852.png

has the same number of rays as the three-dawns piece in Glamora

scary how many nods to Japan there are in Vegas.. just in plane sight

[bright ruin]

Gonna toss a wild idea that NO ONE has done before but

I think we're going to Japan

I do half want to believe that we have all these Japan nods and then get slapped with like Norway or Iceland lol, it'd be funny

[odd hemlock]

The community would b3 devestated

[tardy drum]

Obvious reference to Japanese gods, Izanagi (1 Night) and their 3 children (3 Dawns)

Gotta find it

Its from like middle of season 1

Man finding it on mobile is taking forever

[atomic rock]

They keep changing discord mobile and it honestly feels like it’s just becoming more difficult

[alpine junco]

I mean scrolling thru 1000+ images takes forever anyway

When i get home i’ll find all the vegas ss

[old olive]

What if to get the dolphin charm you have to do what the dolphins are doing and just hop around the area they are in a circle, like how they are swimming?

[low escarp]

we tried runnning and jumping around the big ball

[empty plaza]

Guys new EE-Hunt has begun

[atomic rock]

It’s … ._.

[tardy drum]

That can be done alone with any class. Doesn't follow Rob's hint(s)

[hard forge]

another one to the list.

we already have over 30 EE as of now

[mystic storm]

the comment by rob saying that it might be possible with a light makes me think of Monaco and shooting the cannons in a certain order or timed

[empty plaza]

LOL

[low escarp]

sky also has canons

[bright ruin]

The cannon easter egg was only on Monaco
It's also no longer in the game and was unsolved. We don't truly know the activation method

[low escarp]

or 1 cannon not sure

[low escarp]

i think he ment cannons for the dolph charm

[bright ruin]

Cannons aren't needed for the dolphin charm?

[low escarp]

i dont think os either

[mystic storm]

Like rockhoundblack says, some ee can be multifaceted

[empty plaza]

Any luck with those monkeys?

[hard forge]

you know cannon EE was different right?

[bright ruin]

We hunters are aware there can be several layers to EE.... Cannon EE is entirely unrelated to dolphin. And again no longer in the game

[mystic storm]

yes I was hunting for it in the last hours

[hard forge]

why? it's not in the game as of now

[mystic storm]

*last hours before the update and it went away

[bright ruin]

They said "in the last hours" likely meaning the last hours of cannon EE

[hard forge]

ohh, mb

[mystic storm]

I am just saying that a solo attempt with a light leads me to believe you would have to use dash and get to multiple points

[hard forge]

ohh.

[mystic storm]

which reminded me of the cannons

[mystic storm]

has anything more come of the 8 blocks you can activate with fire?

[low escarp]

we burned them after activating dolph in pub but nothing happend adn i didnt do anything with them after

and i didnt find any other burn cubes

[hard forge]

@bright ruin time to search Q on c64

i think the chair pic was in a group chat with 2 other ee hunters

[alpine junco]

@hard forge

[hard forge]

what am I looking at?

[alpine junco]

the chair design

[timid solstice]

omg WOW

[alpine junco]

one full circle, one half with a line that can be considered a trajectory

[timid solstice]

I thought rob said this was for something else later

[tardy drum]

Rabbits confirmed

[alpine junco]

example

[timid solstice]

so how did you do the conversion?

[unborn pilot]

Yeah he said something like today is not the day but soon you’ll understand.

[timid solstice]

its simple hex to dec isnt it

[unborn pilot]

Hex -> Giant decimal number -> split that into groups of 2 -> then number to letter

Yeah exactly just needed 2 extra steps after.

I’m actually not sure what that last 1A3DC is

[timid solstice]

same method?

1A3DC -> 107484 -> ?

[unborn pilot]

It doesn’t use the same logic and the man doesn’t have 3 names

[timid solstice]

J G D H D

[unborn pilot]

Yeah so there is no letter number 74 and 84

[glass wharf]

what yall talking about rn?

[timid solstice]

about a very old clue that was never solved until R cade just did!

[glass wharf]

oh ok

[unborn pilot]

Maybe it’s like that Kari puzzle. Where it’s 2 separate things but the word in the middle is the same

[eternal violet]

If you google his name with that decimal number it just straight up says oviform

Maybe it's some kind of research article id

[glass wharf]

whats the ee and is there a pic?

[alpine junco]

idk but i thought they looked similar

YES thats it

Maybe hes referring to that green thing some people saw awhile back in-game, idk lol

[cold heart]

this? that isnt on the leaderboard though 🤷‍♀️

[glass wharf]

not sure

oh and can somone explain what the petition for the frog thing is

[tardy drum]

The petition literally says what its for..

[glass wharf]

Yes I see but how we get it? is it just random and is it custom or made by them

[cold heart]

the TLDR is:

• someone was begging Rob for Frog related cosmetics
• Rob said yes, as long as we meet certain milestones on a petition
• we have already hit the major milestones, so we havent been pushing hard for it anymore
  the skins will probably come mid Season 3 if i was to guess

[glass wharf]

Thanks

these were some of the milestones - started like a month ago iirc

I feel like the throwing knives should have like some kind of reload/restock animation now, after you throw 6 or however many. A constant barrage of cutlery is sometimes a bit much 🔪 🍴

[sacred bane]

Seen a BUNCH of triple Light throwing squads lately. Something feels OP about it. Mostly the me dying nonstop part.

WRONG CHAT

[narrow girder]

WRONG CHAT

[granite drift]

"RAWECEEK" spelling error on reachthefinals.com, just a mistake or a hint??

ovs meant to say IT'S RACEWEEK

[tardy drum]

There are no coincidences

[narrow girder]

ITS RAWECEEK‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔊🔊

[fast frigate]

Btw, I got a red symbol for a sword slash on my screen when being attacked by sword. Any significance?

[tardy drum]

You. Getting shanked EE

[tight cloak]

they recently changed hit markers for certain weapons at certain distances, it's just a notifier that you've been hit by a sword or quick melee'd iirc

[fresh quiver]

wow. gj 😄

[shadow shore]

Is this what usually happens on the night map?

[wide dawn]

Probably, a reference to that one time the Ferrari F1 Team posted a picture where "RACEWEEK" could easily get misread as "RAWECEEK"

[low escarp]

ive never seen that but i dont play light alot also it kinda just looks like a bug

[shadow shore]

Yeahhh, i did throw an invis bomb right before it happened. So i was thinking it was just that somehow

[dry belfry]

No new EE

IT'S BREATHING

what if CNS is the sign that the finals' AI is becoming SELF AWARE?!

then this AI spreads it's selfawareness like a virus, which leads to the events of ARC raiders...

[tight granite]

You're cooking, all the animals in the EE breathe

[shadow shore]

And they're all mammals

[vast ravine]

might be a lighting bug

I’m on the idea that the EE would take place at night, cause it’ll look cool lol

Whatever “it” is, will look cool

[proud oracle]

lol

[dim totem]

it has always had a wave motion

[tranquil minnow]

Do you think the description is worded like that for a reason?

"Get the No Oasis set to blend in seamlessly the...beach"

None of the other trailers have had such a type of description

[brave lake]

the new Vaiiya Restore hoodie in the shop says "Thanks to VAIIYA CEO Sal Scoria, THE FINALS will continue to operate no matter what CNS tries"
could that mean Vaiiya successfully quarantined CNS?

The finals is still very much under the influence of CNS

[peak plume]

Its texture from the vanish bomb, that happens on all maps but the pattern here is different

[daring bluff]

wait this is funny

[short wind]

I noticed that if you sprint at these black cubes/jump at the last second you are slowed down by an invisible barrier

[junior thicket]

yeah

[acoustic viper]

has someone scanned the bar code on the new holtow ak skin yet?

[shadow shore]

Woah you're right, that's whacky

[short wind]

Yeah I thought it was weird being on the road that is meant to be water

[short wind]

was thinking maybe gotta use the jump pads in the same order the dolphins swim and you can only touch those blocks

cause those blocks are meant to be waves or splashes of water as far as I'm aware

[glass wharf]

could be

[low escarp]

we tried in pubs after activating the dolphs to go from one side of the map to the other while only touching the waves and jump pads we did it both ways nothing happens

[velvet narwhal]

It should be the same barcode as the one from the other Holtow skin. That one is an invalid Barcode.

[opaque thistle]

possible meatspace reference?

being "pacified" with the gameshow to ignore and forget about the real world I imagine

[tranquil minnow]

Man I love the ready player one universe...

[tranquil minnow]

Quite possible yes

[opaque thistle]

[tranquil minnow]

The book and the movie are both excellent in their own respective ways. I was really surprised by Armada though. Decided to give it a read and loved Ernest Cline's storytelling in that as well. Gamers being recruited to fight of an alien invasion without them realising is an amazing plot

But RPO will always hold my top spot

[opaque thistle]

alien invasion you say

https://tenor.com/view/glitch-gif-25330019

[tranquil minnow]

Indeed. The plot is quite interesting in that manner. Even if it isn't related to the EE hunt highly recommended read. I'm not sure if I should tell some of the plot because I don't want to spoil it for anyone but some of the ties are quite deep related to the Finals. Like Ready Player One is but there are no official links...yet

Weird new audio pieces heard when on loadnig screens btw

[opaque thistle]

I think I just found something interesting

so I looked up armada and it lead me on a bit of a path

I saw that the date it released was on the 14th of july and that reminded of the links with saint valentine and saint odilia to the roses

with valentine having his feast on feb 14th obviously tying in with roses and saint odilia having hers on dec 14th

but this had me look up odilia again and I just hovered over an interesting place in the wiki and it linked to some mentions of a chemist so I wanted to read into it more

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques-Joseph_Ebelmen

and right here it mentions one "Micheal Faraday"

"In 1848, he got the chair of Ceramics at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.[2] In 1849, he was a member of the jury at the Central National Exhibition, and in 1851 he represented the French ceramic industry at the Great Exhibition in London, as a member of international jury. Whilst in England, his innovations drew esteem from the greatest scholars, including Michael Faraday, who invited him to attend a lecture he professed before the Royal Institution in London."

It also says "He was also appointed professor of mineral assay at the Ecole des Mines and was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor by King Louis-Philippe in April 1847"

With the title "Knight of the Legion of Honor" being originally established by Napoleon who has both been referenced in EE from the Mar 17th date as well as for the pigpen (aka napoleon) cypher

[tranquil minnow]

Happened on Horizon Powershift, can't seem to replicate it so might be a bug but sounded like the CNS glitched voice type audio

[opaque thistle]

im dumb thats not the name I thought it was 💀 damb, bro still important tho, nobel prize winner atleast

[robust tiger]

Record it if u could

[vivid narwhal]

[alpine junco]

“A bottlenose dolphin's skin color is gray to dark gray on its back, fading to white on its lower jaw and belly. This coloration, a type of camouflage known as countershading, may help conceal a dolphin from predators and prey. When viewed from above, a dolphin's dark back surface blends with the dark depths.”

[odd hemlock]

is this set new

[tranquil minnow]

Yes

[empty plaza]

UPDATE DAYY

[spring thistle]

Hope we figure out all the major ees before nexon kills the game

[robust tiger]

Yes

I think it’s a hint for the dolphin charm

“Sun’s out, guns out!” Could represent sunny on horizon and “at the…beach.” Tells us a location maybe a starting point

Rob only responded with “haha” when asked if it’s time based

[bright ruin]

Aren't they doing the complete opposite...? Pretty sure they were investing more money into it last time I saw

[spring thistle]

Well if the game doesn't star making big bucks, they'll have to pull the rug. Nexon loves doing that

[bright ruin]

Perhaps, but we'll worry about that if it becomes an issue. For now, our plates are full with EEs

[spring thistle]

[bright ruin]

Just looked it up, Nexon expects growth with the 3rd season, they must know something we don't... or do, since we're pretty sure it's Japan and people will each the themes that come with that up lol

I'm very curious to see what Japan themed EE we get

[thin perch]

How's 3hm going, guys?

[atomic rock]

They’re planning something to grow back support in Asian regions, they see steady playing in most regions but apparently the game died fast in Asia, probably from everyone yelling at them calling them all hackers and stuff

You know the racism/ stereotyping that gamers decide to have

[robust tiger]

They did do that Asia stream event thing in Japan on twitch

[bright ruin]

#1211002564015824906 Idk how up to date you are but we have found 5 3hm

[thin perch]

Ik people found it I just wanted to know the amount so thx

[spring thistle]

No it died from the security being tightened

[atomic rock]

My next message fits this response lol

[spring thistle]

It ain't racism. It's the sad reality

[bright ruin]

Well, it's a stigma no matter how you slice it

[spring thistle]

New Lore video ?

[spring thistle]

yep

[cloud cradle]

Is there anywhere else in the game besides the training area you can pick up roses 🤔

[spring thistle]

I don't think so, no

I know they're not in monaco. I know every corner of that map by heart now

[cloud cradle]

Dang still wondering if it's anything or just a fun thing for the training arena

[spring thistle]

Nah rob said they're connected to a big-ish ee

[astral solstice]

They're on all maps, so they are on Monaco

[spring thistle]

I may be stupid

[sharp mango]

there is no rose outside the practice range

[tawny fern]

There are EE in the training area ?

[bright ruin]

We just linked to Rob's messages that there are lmao

I'm loving this game more and more

[bright ruin]

If you haven't read #egg-hunt-onboarding you'll want to do so. Welcome to the hunt!

[atomic rock]

There is definitely no sleep deprivation here 👍, welcome to your new life

[tawny fern]

Thanks, I'm also kinda noob to discord so i get easily lost while browsing 😅

[sharp mango]

no no rose is a cashbox outside the practice range map

[atomic rock]

No worries well help you out, give it a week and you’ll be the one telling people how to get places

[bright ruin]

I have no clue what this means in all honesty

[tawny fern]

I discovered the discord while I couldnt sleep and I dreamt about three headed monkeys in a cave !!

[sharp mango]

my bad i got no english skill ill type better

[atomic rock]

Already half way there lol

[cold heart]

@sharp mango there are roses, like in the Practice Range on the bench... on all maps

[glass sundial]

We got until s3 to resolve the dolphin's charm EE right?

[bright ruin]

no it's not going anywhere

[glass sundial]

oh ok good

[sharp mango]

i think this is a rose (it can destroy generator like rose)

[cold heart]

so is any prop in the game based on that logic...

[sharp mango]

wait other stuff can break generator?

[cold heart]

can you try to elaborate?
yes...

[bright ruin]

They don't have good english, be patient with them

[cold heart]

i am being?

[sharp mango]

interesting (yeh im kinda fucked up with that info)

[bright ruin]

General statement, just letting you know in case you missed it

[astral solstice]

If you can find it that would be huge. Most people suspect there's one at or by the caves.

[atomic rock]

What are we at for the 3HM now? I’ve been hard focusing dolphin for the good of the games player base lol

[bright ruin]

5 found out of 7. 9 total 3hm related things, not sure what the 2 non 3hm things are. Which means we also have no idea what the +2 of 3hm related things will be in S3, and we don't know how exactly these things make cracking the puzzle harder

Now that I think about it, I'm unsure if rob specified the "puzzle" being the 3HM directly or how the 3HM connects to TFEE level 3 password 🤔

[fresh quiver]

oh. we know the 2 things getting added for S3.

+2 3HMs.
+2 monkeys each season

[bright ruin]

It was not specified to be 3hm being added though

[open bramble]

+2 monkeys?

[cold heart]

there are currently 9 in game... but the last two are funky - so our current goal is 7
and there is +2 each season

[fresh quiver]

it was.

[bright ruin]

There's currently 9 3hm related things in the game, not 3hm

It'll be easier to move this to #1211002564015824906 where we discussed this earlier

[open bramble]

+2 season is only the 3HM ones right?

[fresh quiver]

there are currently 7 in the game.
but 9 3HM related things.

so 2 things are not the 3HM themself

[open bramble]

where the monkey came from

[fresh quiver]

what ya mean?

[sacred bane]

#easter-eggs message would suggest there are 9 3HMs. 7 that are just present and 2 that require "some..." in response to emoting.

[snow walrus]

Roses are available on all maps.

[atomic rock]

Isnt there a pot of roses on Monaco, not fully sure just pretty sure I got my “kill with a potted plant” achievement with it

[meager raven]

Sorry, new to the ee scene, what are the generators?

[sacred bane]

They are yellow boxes that power nearby lights that can be hit and destroyed

[astral solstice]

These

[sacred bane]

they just stop providing power, they remain on the map

[pseudo ocean]

Hello everyone I'm kinda new to the EE hunt but I think I found roses in the practice range

They would be almost right next to the shooting bots

[velvet narwhal]

Good spot! We know that those roses are related to an EE in some way, but haven't found their use yet.

[pseudo ocean]

Well he did say there's Roses in every map

[velvet narwhal]

Almost right next to the shooting bots? The roses I know of are in the park near the bench

[pseudo ocean]

Yeah and there's more in the forest area

[velvet narwhal]

Can you send an image of it? (you can use imgur)

I don't really know if it lets me

Has anyone found any roses on skyway stadium

[astral solstice]

I don't think so, but I'm not familiar with that current EE. I haven't seen anybody talk about it recently

[velvet narwhal]

I think we haven't found any except the ones in the range

[meager raven]

Now I’m interested in searching lol. This is exciting

[pseudo ocean]

Ok

[warm juniper]

in regards to the 3 Headed Monkeys, has anyone thought to try looking using Thermal Vision?

[astral solstice]

They wouldn't show up because they are stickers that disappear when you look at them.

[willow coral]

i really think CNS is related to arc raiders simply due to how their aesthetics are retro and the arc raider things we've seen so far are similar to that

[spring thistle]

I doubt that. But embark is at sgf so who knows they might reveal more

[empty plaza]

Alright, I'm doing it. Rob, we need help with the Dolphin Charm. We're dry on ideas and nothing is working.

(

[open bramble]

its not

[manic latch]

Do what dolphins do

[open bramble]

and this relates how to the dolphins? charm? or separate ?

[peak plume]

could be part of the dolphin ee

[robust tiger]

#easter-eggs message he's related but nobody knows in what way

[empty plaza]

See, THIS is why we need a small push. We have no sense of direction right now, we need rob to give us a footing, because the season ends in 8 days and we have nothing to show for it.

My main concern is how the charm will possibly vanish after this season, just like the Cannon Charm from Season 1 being disabled

[manic latch]

Something tells me u need to use sonar

[empty plaza]

We've tried sonar everywhere

[manic latch]

U tried on the statues in the art center?

[empty plaza]

Everywhere

[manic latch]

In public game?

[empty plaza]

Y e s

Did u sonar other players

Can u throw them outside the map

I wanna try taking a dead body statue and reviving them on the other side of the wall you can throw stuff through on horizon

[open bramble]

He is related, thats for sure,,

[tardy drum]

No sonar, no abilities, no specific classes unless you’re doing solo Light.
No relation to Ecco, no relation to GameCube.
Stop trying to get out of bounds, no EE is out of bounds.
Play the game, do what a dolphin would do

[manic latch]

Ok

[open bramble]

but nothing to the ee i suppose

Dolphin will swim I will swim

[open bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Nvxhkhzb4&ab_channel=WildlifeXTeamInternational

[tardy drum]

Any theory you come up with, ask if it’s related to dolphins and if it could potentially be done as a light solo when it would normally require at least 2 people.

[empty plaza]

We are losing our fucking sanity here.

[manic latch]

Did u try turning your mic to open mic and making dolphin sounds

[atomic rock]

With this you breach the walls surface like a dolphin breaches water, you break through the walls like the CNS describes, you work as a team, and if you’re a light it may be possible with teleport Rob just want sure if he could

[open bramble]

Brooo

[tardy drum]

Not yet, lol but people need to keep it contained to the hints we’ve received and stop overanalyzing discussions about Ecco and stuff or aliens and whatnot.
