So just be active in other cannels like #⚡┇the-finals-chat or #🥚┇off-topic for a little while and you’ll level up

I wouldnt spam though, you only get exp every 10 mins or so

Also the mods(understandably) dont like it

[graceful solstice]

yeah that’s fair

thanks for helping

Ospuze.com findings

[random crow]

has anyone found out how to find the code on the sleeve in the masked mogul image?

[gloomy anvil]

ooh, we've been on the Level 3 activation for 101 days now 🥳

I can't really complain, I took a break

[hasty anvil]

I wanna know what that close breakthrough was

[velvet narwhal]

What!? Time flies

[cold heart]

isnt it suppose to be "time flies when youre having fun" 😆

not - when youre going insane

[snow walrus]

Summer breaks shouldn't get counted

[velvet narwhal]

[snow walrus]

I don't even try 0.1x of my winter effort

[hard forge]

Need to start digging soon

[unkempt dune]

going to bring up the pyramids on the S3 sushi chef cutting board again:

• there's two pyramids, small one on the left and large one on the right
• they could be a reference/hint to whatever the MultiCo doc talks about https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1244010150420021340
• there's also carrots, a lemon, a bell pepper, a 1-2 other things I can't identify
• the cutting bored is mirrored due to the reflection

I also noticed there's some really weird thing moving in the background at the start of the S3 trailer

looks like fingers moving, top left and top right

[dull marsh]

Those pyramids with the reflection make some diamond shapes

[cold heart]

this?

[unkempt dune]

mhm

[cold heart]

isnt that the flamethrower gas tank? 🤔

[hearty meteor]

[unkempt dune]

what makes you think that?

[daring bluff]

yeah it def is and it’s an upside down screen

[unkempt dune]

oh wait, you're right

didn't notice it's propably footage

weird that the footage is used in two different spots at the same time

anyone happen to remember where this footage is from?

I know we were discussing all the clips at some point

[cold heart]

it looks like an upside-down (flipped) footage of someone holding it 1PP

[cold heart]

it kinda looks like a suspended structure, or Seoul construction - cant think what/ exactly where it would be from though

[unkempt dune]

something suspicious does form doing that intro scene

another X is on the left of it, but is less visible

[cold heart]

its weird that the & turns into a 0... never realised (again its mirrored)

[pure loom]

that cross could be used as an alignment marker if we're meant to take another frame and overlay it or something like that

[spring thistle]

Federal bureau of control reference spotted

Rahhhhh

[unkempt dune]

lots of mirrored stuff, the footage, the ospuze logo, that sushi cutting board

the game was just a mirror of the real world all along

before it goes dark at the beginning, you can see this clip if you do some editing (don't ask me why I mirrored it, I forgot why)

I think that's one of the closed beta videos, right?

[cold heart]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1248764362831827036 here, but i cant find this mentioned

[cold heart]

https://youtu.be/uxloMQgfoYI?t=10 its not this is it?

it doesnt quite match though

[unkempt dune]

it's probably from one of the videos

definitely a heavy in the middle

[unkempt dune]

I wonder what this says.. looks like korean

안 is the first glyph

[radiant gyro]

isnt that just a sponsor?

[unkempt dune]

not talking about holtow

[radiant gyro]

i see what you are saying now

[unkempt dune]

that's what it is

not sure what the second glyph could be

could be a few things: it's cut off, the shape is different because of the font, or I'm too dumb to find the glyph

[cold heart]

im looking through trailers... do we not have a thread for the S1 trailer?!

i might be being silly - but this house doesnt exist right..? :c

[unkempt dune]

was discussed and rob's comment on it was.. I don't what to make of it 🤷

[cold heart]

oh lol

that sucks... it looks cool - i really dislike how the houses on Monaco/ Skyway arent furnished
a simple dresser, chair and painting go a long way imo. this looks cool

[unkempt dune]

#easter-eggs message

that's his comment on it

[cold heart]

its still not enabled then? 🤔

[unkempt dune]

not 100% sure, but the chair in the corner might be on Las Vegas and that desk might be inside the mansion on Skyway Stadium

as for the artwork on the wall.. I don't recognize it, but it could be on Skyway

[cold heart]

i might have missed it, but i thought i got all the paintings on skyway here #1231616408270405762 message

i didnt look on other maps though 😅 but i dont recognise it either

[unkempt dune]

actually, I think the glyph is this 한 (I forgot there's a line on the eye)

[cold heart]

oh... i swear ive seen that on Seoul, i maybe crazy tho

[unkempt dune]

한 is the number one

it could be something like 한 개 (han gae), but with a different font

[spice lark]

kinda reminds me of the dolphin activation area on sys

maybe i'm trippin

also, idk if it has been pointed out already, but the picture of the face I can see clear letters on the nose.

definitely an R in there

[unkempt dune]

have a screenshot?

[spice lark]

#easter-eggs message

if need be I can circle the R but it's pretty obvious

[cold heart]

like this?

[spice lark]

it's an upper case R

[unkempt dune]

I think that's just an artifact. But it's interesting that a 2 is formed by the glitched holtow

[cold heart]

looking rn.. keep seeing things similar to it, but no cigar

[unkempt dune]

I forgot the other eye, so it's probably something like this

EDIT: future me has figure out that this is "한국", which means "korean"

[cold heart]

yeah i found the first character, and things similar to it.. but nothing with something like that 2nd one too https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1225425878700265648/1262589658991169629/image.png?ex=669725c0&is=6695d440&hm=007fe949e390c7782d7c624fa0d869c7dbbad98004bddde21231abdb65782196&

[pure loom]

This is the CNS-type image that Rob posted earlier today here: #1201288968562552863 message

if you copy the image and flip it, you get a couple of things. Firstly an image that looks like a rocket:

secondly, the Xs that have formed along the middle can form the numbers 10:20:70 - which could be October 20, 1970

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zond_8 this spacecraft launched on that date, which back in the 1970s would have been a pretty rare event

memories of all the Soviet-era space images we got in early tiers of the EE puzzle, which have still not appeared in-game, right?

[pure loom]

It was launched on a Proton rocket: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_(rocket_family)

looks kinda similar to the drawing

[craggy plover]

Just found a flame retardant bush

[cold heart]

there are quite a few non-destructable things on Monaco

[hard forge]

[pure loom]

yeah, maybe

seems too much of a coincidence

[south wyvern]

The red dot remind me of Holtow's QR code... "as indicated by the white (red) dot above the f-stop scale on the aperture ring." and it is pointing at f/11

[fresh quiver]

ludo incoming in... 3.... 😅

[dull marsh]

Hiiiiiii

I'm well rested and I don't think it looks much like a rocket and such, but interesting findings anyway. My pareidolia only really kicks in when I'm tired hehe

[pure loom]

Let’s see if we get any eyes from Rob. The date thing is very bizarre if not a clue

[fresh quiver]

lets hope 🙏

[dull marsh]

SYS$HORIZON = Horizon (demogroup) = Hz 🤔

Haven't played in a minute. Frog sticker & Set hyyyype

[snow walrus]

ENGIMO's mask - Descartes' Demon mask. Maybe there is a connection?

[sacred bane]

Just taking a gander at all the Candid Moment Set chatter.

I'm not sure if "200film" and "ISO 400" are a deliberate mistake or a clue.

[fallen summit]

reuse of customization has been used a lot with other things, like the dissun power rangers helmet is a different colored version of the same power rangers helmet in the battle pass. so it may have a connection but it could just be reuse.

[sacred bane]

maybe 200 refers to the amount of shots in the reel?

[snow walrus]

yes you have a point

[sacred bane]

200film relates to the "200" on the bolt.

It would be silly if you shot this and on the 200th bullet a picture printed out.

and it's just an over exposed image of turtle eyes...

[fallen summit]

also i never really understood why they added two sponsors this season as theres just been one each season introduced before s3. a conspirasy theory i have is that engimo being the less out in the open sponsor (seeing as dissun is the "official" sponsor of this season) may be hinting to engimo being a shell or hiding company that cns is using as cover to hide from vaiiya. (or it could be the other way around with dissun being the hiding company for them.)

goofy emoji

[cold heart]

thats not true? there has been 2 sponsors every season 🤔

you can see them in the practice range enterance

[cinder kayak]

Going down the rabbit hole a bit and found that the launch sight has some interesting history. Tyuratam or Baikonur (Cover-up name, the real Baikonur is 250-300 kilometers northeast from the Tyuratam launch sight) was originally used to develop intercontinental missiles during the Soviet period.

https://www.russianspaceweb.com/baikonur_secrecy.html
https://www.russianspaceweb.com/baikonur_foundation.html

Getting back to Zond 8, it landed back down 7 days later. It landed a bit off of it's designated crash site in the India Ocean, but the Film of ~200 Earth/Moon pictures where still intact.

https://www.russianspaceweb.com/zond8.html

[cinder kayak]

Some of the more famous images are the "Full-Disc Image of the Moon's Western Hemisphere" and the "Earthset Photo"

[hearty meteor]

prob iso

although idk if iso 8 exists...

yes iso 8 exists in bnw

so its prob equivalent to the iso setting on a camera when you insert a new film, which however afaik is irrelevant to instant film type cameras since they are mostly iso 800 i believe

[hearty meteor]

also the film cartridge charm is really confusing because it says iso 400 with 36 exposures but is also called 200film

[fresh quiver]

You can photograph iso 400 on an iso200 Filmband. Just a little bit underexposed then

[hearty meteor]

but why would you

its both on the same item

[fresh quiver]

Dunno. Only had a DSLR.

Maybe they think that iso200 would’ve been to bright? Who knows

[hearty meteor]

@proud minnow dont really wanna ping you, but does the film cartridge charm have a mistake? it says iso 400 36 exp, but its called 200film, why is that, if not an oversight? is it related to some obscure ee?

[hearty meteor]

whats a dslr or rather what does the d stand for

oh digital bruh

[fresh quiver]

Spiegelreflex.

Digital single-lens reflex

[hearty meteor]

ye i realised thinking is not my strong suit

i have an slr from the 80s, anyways thats off topic

[fresh quiver]

Normally there were the films
„Gold 200“ & „Ultimax Max 400“

Maybe they don’t wanted the ultra max?

Hope Rob answers if it is a mistake or not

[hearty meteor]

kodak gold is iso 200 tho, and ultramax is 400

as you would expect

[fresh quiver]

Yes.

Confusion is big

[hard forge]

if it's a mistake then it's too late.

But Rob was a photographer back in the days so he would have more information

[unkempt dune]

imagine if the whole "the writings on the wall" is really a reference to egypt and how they wrote stuff on walls

it's also possible that CNS is actually just a part of THE FINALS AI that nobody has control over

although I guess that's more of a lore discussion 🫢

[unkempt dune]

if that's the case, then maybe we're supposed to find some writing from egypt

that's on a wall

[cold heart]

i dont remember there being any glyphs in Zaraby, but ill have a quick look agian 🤔

[hard forge]

you mean hieroglyphs ?

[unkempt dune]

hieroglyphs are the writings that egyptians wrote on walls

[cold heart]

yeah that kinda confuses me, whatever "controls the show" seems pretty compliant/happy with the changes caused CNS (S2 gadgets, and SYS$HORIZON + Kyoto)

if CNS wasnt around, what was suppose to be added?? feels too intentional (lore wise)

[unkempt dune]

it's possible the AI just goes by Ariad

it's strange that there's only been mention of one CNS member

so here's a thought I just had

Glamora could actually be a reference to Cleopatra

[cold heart]

no idea how i never noticed this before... its called a suspendable sack?!?! i really dont like that name 😖

its weird, they are usually called balloons in-game i thought

[unkempt dune]

it's not that weird

considering that's what they were around the time of the closed alpha

[cold heart]

yeah thats true

im trying to find patch notes for em (i thought there was one for when they added the glitch variant), but i swear it was always referred to as a balloon - doesnt matter though ig anyways

just couldnt find it mentioned before

[dull marsh]

I think that love and life could be a big part of Level 3 or even the whole hunt

This flare kinda looks like a cell with the nucleus

This one looks a lot like mitosis (cell dividing)

It would make sense as it's all been about eggs

And life is "gold"?

[opal dove]

Grasping at straws bro

[blissful oyster]

Definition of Easter egg tweaker brain haha

Would be so funny if this was something

[dull marsh]

Also the treasure is in front of Guybrush all along, if only he Opened his Eyes

And through the games he is playing with Elaine's heart, because the real treasure is love but he's only looking for the "classic" treasure

One can only dream...

[remote knoll]

Do you know where this image is from?

Original source

[dull marsh]

If that idea is right then we might need to offer roses to the 3HM, WR and on the Dolphin platforms

[unkempt dune]

the closed alpha video on YouTube

[dull marsh]

And what are diamonds if not a big symbol of love

[blissful oyster]

I think eggs sort of symbolizing life isn't much of a stretch tho! I think that's reasonable. Might come together later down the line

[dull marsh]

Saturn clues could be about rings, used for marriage

[blissful oyster]

A big symbol of wealth B)

[dull marsh]

And in Monkey Island he did give (on accident) a cursed Gold Diamond ring to Elaine

[fresh quiver]

whats with "birth"?

An Egg gives birth in some kind.

and some things are connected to robs birthdate? iirc?

[alpine junco]

#1231616408270405762 message #easter-eggs message somehting ive noticed but have no idea what to do with is on the cutting board is a paprika and a lemon and a bunch of slotmachines on vegas have waht looks like paprikas and lemons on them

[loud wren]

I didn’t think about it, but the pepper on the slot machine is very odd… most old rotary slots in regards to fruits have some combination of lemons, oranges, grapes, cherries, melons, or plums. Some newer machines have references to peppers, but It’s not a SUPER common theme, It’s an odd choice to put on a retro slot machine

[unkempt dune]

pretty sure it's an apple on the slot machine

although the stem is green, which is not the color of a stem for an apple 🤔

[hard forge]

yes there is

[unkempt dune]

it could be a strawberry without the dots too

[sacred bane]

apple?

[hushed prawn]

Thats a bell pepper

[shrewd fog]

def an apple i think

[fresh quiver]

because of the white i would say apple too.

The White probably resembles the shinyness some apple have. bellsprout dont have the typical "apple shine"

[unkempt dune]

I actually think bell peppers are more shiny than most apples

[loud wren]

Well regardless neither apples or peppers are normal a lot fruits which is odd

[cursive spruce]

okay where are we at with the easter egg

[robust tiger]

On the new map is a hidden chicken like icon

[cursive spruce]

hmmm

Naww, so beautiful… ._.

Hey Rob!

[pure loom]

No 👀 on the Proton rocket decrypt

But... then would we get 👀 on a possible map hint?

[hearty meteor]

is this like one eyeball or smth

[proud minnow]

Reading that Elaine Marley is the Big Whoop is simply just poetry, and worth a nama-hug… ._.

[hearty meteor]

ic

[tranquil minnow]

What I would give to play the MI games again with a blank memory

Anyways @dull marsh just thought I'd say you're Elaine theory is actually pretty good! I mean I doubt that it's related to Rob's Big Whoop. That aside though it never crossed my mind to look at it like that!

We never truly find out what Big Whoop is sadly apart from the Theme Park

[pure loom]

yeah, if this is an S4 hint, it's likely Rob wouldn't confirm it, I reckon - so we might just have to wait and see

[austere palm]

A pepper but not bell

[cold heart]

Rob if youre here 🙏 what was the deal with bat-nama, was it ever added to the (or a) game or ever found?
#easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

maybe a different embark-related game?

I haven’t seen 2407 from SYS$Horizon in a minute, I’m not sure if anything came from those numbers but from the soundtrack one of the CNS songs is titled xX_TF_CNS_FreeDoom_Ver07_24bit_Wav_Xx

Not like that’s necessarily important just thought I’d put that out there for anybody number hunting it still

[unkempt dune]

random thoughts that are probably not important:

• writings on the wall could be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_Texts
• Atum was prominent in the texts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atum
• Atum looks like Antumbra: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra

kind of funny that an eclipse looks sort of like a pyramid when you draw out the lines

it'd be interesting if you could somehow interpret an eclipse as 3 dawns and 1 night

totality would be night

and three stages afterwards would be the 3 types of dawn

[spring thistle]

I was wondering. What is the finals logo supposed to be

[hard forge]

[spring thistle]

[shrewd fog]

if sys horizon had clues to the s3 map, then does Kyoto already have clues to the s4 map on it?

[shrewd fog]

i was talking about the dragon statues found on sys horizon, I think they were added in a later patch tho, https://www.japan-experience.com/sites/default/files/images/content_images/komainu20191.jpg

[tardy drum]

There’s dragon statues on SYS?

[unkempt dune]

the "shadow flock" could potentially be the "eclipse flock"

hello

[copper zodiac]

I have a few min to look for EE on Monaco : LWEU

If anyone wants to join

Sorry, i posted in the wrong thread

[unkempt dune]

the protocol faceplate (mech helmet) showed up in the S3 trailer for a tiny bit

[daring bluff]

ooo nice catch

[copper zodiac]

whats this????

[fresh quiver]

can you post pictures of every cosmetic regarding this (the skin, the weaponskin, etc?)

[unkempt dune]

I'll see if I can grab pictures. Interesting enough, I don't think I've noticed these combat boots before

same logo as the gloves from the green ghoul bundle or whatever it's called

looks like it's been around for a while now

never noticed the brand on it at least

[unkempt dune]

the Protocol Core Set

Battle Pass

the spray is the helmet from this week's mech set

[hearty meteor]

are you sure its not AES

wait is that an aes256 reference

[fresh quiver]

have we talked about this in correlation of AES & 7680 before?

[hearty meteor]

yeah def that reference

[unkempt dune]

mhm

[fresh quiver]

i know we talked about AES 7680 before due to the battlepass.
But cant find anything about that L= 7680, k=7680

[unkempt dune]

pretty sure it was discussed when this battlepass came out

someone posted that image before

[fresh quiver]

apparentyl we discussed the AES sometime often.

But the 7680 part not

[unkempt dune]

#1204573219894468648 message

[hearty meteor]

has anyone tried aes192 decryotion on #1204573219894468648 ? or is it still the key thats missing

what if aes 7980 is the key?

spitballing idk

[fresh quiver]

is that a 0 or O in the second number on his shoulders? 235A0K2 or 235AOK2 ?

[unkempt dune]

has the same shape as the 0 on the left side

[fresh quiver]

how the F was it never talked about? 235A0K2

235A0K2 is also on the AES7680 charm in the BP.

[unkempt dune]

people assumed it was O instead of 0, which is fair because it could very well be a O since we don't have anything to compare it to

[fresh quiver]

both gives no search results.

[unkempt dune]

I'm seeing results for 235AOK2

[hearty meteor]

is that the correct length for our key?

[hard forge]

@unkempt dune cross post in #1250090862684274719

[unkempt dune]

you can do it if you want.. I'm too lazy to copy and paste 13 images

I think to recall that someone said that due to probability calculations it might be a key with a length of 7? But no guarantee

[unkempt dune]

RES7680-235A0K2
WARNING - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
WARNING - WEAR AT YOUR OWN RISK

[fresh quiver]

hm

[unkempt dune]

the O and 0 look similar in the text for OWN RISK

i know it's silly but the text looks to me a monitor code like resolution 7680 model 235aok2.

[low escarp]

👋 hey rob i wanted to ask for the dolphin charm with the hints we have so farm how confident are you that well be able to solve it do think we can do it before season 3 is over?

[proud minnow]

Pretty confident, I trust the EE's... they are rockstars.!

[unkempt dune]

rockstars.. hmmm

okay, dolphin charm theory:

we need to wear the elvis outfit from S1 because he's a rockstar. Next, we need to make sure the outfit is on a heavy because we also need the guitar from S1. Lastly, go on SYS$HORIZON at night to be under the stars and rock out by nodding your head up and down like the motion of the dolphins

I am 100% confident that the all classes can do it thing was a red herring

[velvet narwhal]

AND you have to inspect the guitar while you nod

This HAS to be right

[unkempt dune]

yes, the most important part

and we need to do this because we're rockstars

[fresh quiver]

I find weird things when googling "Rockstars dolphin" but i guess 007 is just a coincidence again 😂

[cold heart]

i was gonna go - Rockstars, okay so we need to roleplay GTA (Rockstar game), steal a car and go to the sys$horizon military base, steal a jet... 🤪

[proud minnow]

This you mean..?

[cold heart]

yesssssssss 🥺

people seem to have forgotten about it

I think we are really close to solving it

[fresh quiver]

las vegas

[proud minnow]

Booting up the game and see if can find it...!
(it's been in for a whiiiiiiile)

[hasty anvil]

see the signs

[cold heart]

The Finals? 👀

[fresh quiver]

OYE .!

[proud minnow]

haha YES.!

[unkempt dune]

well if it were in-game, one would think it's visible at night

[cold heart]

lol! you originally said A game, so it made me think its maybe not TF

[fresh quiver]

7x I's in his whiiiiiiile

[plucky kettle]

it was actually team fortress 2 he was booting up...

[unkempt dune]

or maybe it's in a minigame.. in the THE FINALS

[velvet narwhal]

Do we know if there's an EE in the Örf minigame?

[cold heart]

no idea 🤷‍♀️

[velvet narwhal]

And is the surprise rob mentioned the minigame or an EE #easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

I believe it was the minigame

if my memory serves me right

[rugged breach]

I'm fairly sure rob or another embarker mentioned it was meant to be an easter egg but ended up too cool to hide too much

[cold heart]

oh that was just the minigame

[cold heart]

yep here, #1233175873885306880 message and the message below that

[plucky kettle]

just realised, this is still an old image as there isnt a jump pad there now

[cold heart]

im pretty sure both of those jumppads exist

[plucky kettle]

nvm

they exist I just never knew

[velvet narwhal]

Are we still at 9 monkeys or are there 11 since 3.4.0? #easter-eggs message

[fresh quiver]

yes we dont know 😄

atleast he mentioned that more monkeys might come with 340

[velvet narwhal]

The new monkeys got added 2.4.0. There's exactly 1 "season" in between.
It would kinda make sense to start the timer of the "+2 every season" rule at 2.4.0

[tough bloom]

nah were cooked. the dolphin server bout as dormant as a fat cat

[opal pond]

By season 8 im sure we'll have solved it

[tough bloom]

im thinking by the time we are 60

[fallen summit]

french moment

[plucky kettle]

shhh

[tardy drum]

Rockstar... Hardrock Hotel.. Vegas.. Since the EE there involves Stars..

I'm also like 90% /s

We have to go into the buildings in the right order 2-0-4-7 and do something to release the final dolphin "I'M FiNaLlY FrEeEeEe-e-e-e-e-e-e" ... on SysNight because it looks cool...

[neon raptor]

Have we for sure found the correct order of those numbers yet?

[tardy drum]

I'm 1000% speculating off the basis of nothing substantial

[neon raptor]

xX_TF_CNS_FreeDoom_Ver07_24bit_Wav_Xx yesterday I saw one of their soundtrack songs titled with this^ wondering if it would be 0-7-2-4

[tardy drum]

We've seen 2047 before I believe.. (or was it 2074?) and ISO 2047 is kinda kinda loosely related

I'm at work right now, but is the building that says 'LOADING...' the empty one in the back corner near the start of the black wave-road?

[dull marsh]

Does bat-nama only comes out once a year at the end of october? 🤔 🦇 🎃 💀

[cold heart]

He said

Booting up the game and see if can find it...!
(it's been in for a whiiiiiiile)

Unless there is a way to trick/active the game to be October/Halloween ehhe, not sure how he would be able to check ingame rn if it was time sensitive 🤔

[craggy plover]

Is bat-nama another charm we can get or just a normal Ee in game

[cold heart]

this, and the time he originally posted it (Feb 2023).. makes me think it was pre-Vegas though

imma cry if its on Monaco.. Monaco already has so many EEs

[velvet narwhal]

meanwhile Skyway crying in a corner

[atomic rock]

Imagine the dolphins were on skyway this whole time and were all looking on SYS for no reason

[cold heart]

atleast it has a red moon... and stuff 🫠

[velvet narwhal]

We know there's something on Skyway, but it was there since S1.
This message was sent during S1 #easter-eggs message

[atomic rock]

Maybe that’s the cannon charm that was there before

There are cannons on skyway

[craggy plover]

Oh really? Thought they were only on monaco

[opal pond]

Is it not the thing that got removed when s2 launched?

[cold heart]

we dont know, but it could be

[velvet narwhal]

I think the cannons EE was on Monaco and the unknown Skyway EE is somehow connected to the red moon.
But it could ofc be that the cannons EE was on Skyway

[opal pond]

Yeah if we assume its still in the game then I think it HAS to do something with the moons

cause im not sure what else

[timid solstice]

has the splash screen "MOTO" or "MUTU" been mentioned?

[vale igloo]

a lot of these loading screens are outdated though, the practice range one has a button that hasn't been there since beta

[proud minnow]

(maybe this has been mentioned, but I don’t think anyone figured out the link to the big EE hunt… ._.)

I wasn’t around for the last password, what was it?

[pure loom]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/TFEE_T3

[junior thicket]

Wtf is that?

[pure loom]

where is this?

[neon raptor]

Its probably been seen, but I saw it for the first time today loading into Seoul. In the loading screen where the black finals logo using is, it just said “YOU” in bold yellow letters. The next game and all the games I played after it was back to the normal finals logo.

[rapid willow]

Kinda reminds me of the “CAN YOU REACH” quote they keep doing for the trailers

https://tenor.com/view/the-finals-embark-fps-can-you-reach-the-finals-gif-9379148235839892700

[empty plaza]

Still trying to figure out the Dolphin Charm...

[dim delta]

It always says “YOU” for me

[knotty stratus]

idk if people already found this or not , but in the credits if you wait long enough, it says this: "To all the EE hunters out there... ...missing discs..."

what do yall think this could this mean?

[rugged breach]

I think the only connection we have with that is a bit from monkey island where mc looks into a tree stump to see some catacombs only to be asked to insert the missing discs which are nonexistent. That led to marking the tree stumps on kyoto and I don't believe anything else came from that (yet)

[unkempt dune]

you know, some Moto Guzzi stuff reminds me of stuff from Arc Raiders and THE FINALS

and we were discussing MOTO for a tiny bit today

for reference on an Arc Raiders piece that reminds of Moto Guzzi:

could be a vespa, but there's not a good look at it

they even had chainmail stuff

[cold heart]

it KINDA looks like 0074

[unkempt dune]

kind of the opposite of 47

there used to even be a crane in front of the cathredral that was blue

[spring thistle]

I need the cars back

[daring bluff]

i’m so glad that there’s now only one building on monaco that has that kind of mini window balcony… can’t mantle them and they’re hard to break 😟

[opal pond]

Holy shit medieval outfits confirmed 🔥🔥🔥

[timid solstice]

@alpine junco @junior thicket @pure loom
Its the easy Anti Cheat Splash screen image with the samuri on the top right, they changed it from the G6 Binary to that

im at work so cant post the full image but its like the trailer art

[fresh quiver]

didnt it have numbers before? cant remember that G6 was anywhere on the loading screen of EAC when launching the game

[timid solstice]

true!

previously 7681 and 6567

[fervent quail]

NEW UPDATE

[rugged breach]

Semi suspicious large empty space at the end of patch notes. Line, followed by line break, 2 lines, break, 2 lines. .-- in morse = W. Or just more oscar text but wanted to point it out

[willow barn]

On Wednesday, someone leaked a patch to me, there should have been RS adjustments in the Terminal Attack game mode and correction of errors in new translations

[atomic rock]

Do other updates do that?

[fresh quiver]

?

[willow barn]

Perhaps there was some kind of leak like with the previous update, but I just woke up and saw patch note 3.5.0 in my messages. I can send it, but I will translate it because I have it in Russian

[wooden crystal]

the patch notes page for 3.3.0 has that smth like that too. Line, brak, line. .. = I In morse

cant post a screenshot coz of lvl

[alpine junco]

Interesting

[wooden crystal]

paage for 3.1 patch notes has the letter T

line, line

2.11 has "E"

[rugged breach]

Thanks for checking ana, went right into wt so couldn't check previous patches :p

Interesting it's happened multiple times, genuinelly thought it was just oscar text

[wooden crystal]

Checked the patch notes from current release(3.5.0) down to the first release(1.2.0)
Not all of them had the empty lines at the end but did gave the letters "W, I, T, E, T, E, E, E, E, T, E " in morse.
That directly doesnt look anything to me rn

[spring thistle]

Interesting

[fresh quiver]

it wasnt a "leak" yesterday.

Devs accidentally pushed the Store Items a day too early. & have withdrawn them shortly after.
Nothing was said yesterday/leaked about language corrections etc. just the skins
only thing they otherwise did was a server-side hotfix

[hearty meteor]

this says as much as someone screaming “i found the dolphin charm trust me bro”

[hearty meteor]

even then why would it be of significance

[willow barn]

I just showed what could have been in two empty lines because someone sent me a patch before anyone noticed that there were new items in the store i guess

[fresh quiver]

which time was it sent to you yesterday?

[willow barn]

6:50 AM Swedish

[bleak field]

how does said person even attain the patch notes early what 😭

[hearty meteor]

dusty has arrived to clarify

[cedar owl]

So next week we buff security and do some digging

[fresh quiver]

so this was really a leak leak? not good

[dusk veldt]

Thats worrying

[daring bluff]

someone’s getting in trouble 💀

[opaque thistle]

ramt

[daring bluff]

but i could honestly see it being a genuine mistake given the shenanigans that happened with this update

[fresh quiver]

@unkempt dune as you looked up the domains already. I did some tracert

reachthefinals is another IP
holtow, ospuze, multico are sharing the same IP.

[velvet narwhal]

Holtow, Ospuze & MultiCo are all the same company?!?!?

[fresh quiver]

yes & no. did a mistake apparently.

They all have the same IPs. including not embark owned websites.
were not showing with tracert. but with nslookup

[dusk veldt]

3.8, interesting #⚡┇the-finals-chat message

Good catch!

[eternal violet]

credit goes to Nova's spreadsheet

Links to lunar photography, since Holtow was to do with the red moon on Skyway

Also look at the Looney 11 part

And sunny 16

[snow walrus]

Do you think this image resembles the EE hints to you

[pure loom]

Thanks 👍

[bleak nova]

On skyway tower map only certain pc have a logo DS has this a meaning?

[tardy drum]

I'm pretty sure 11 represents something, but for cameras, f/11 is usually when everything is in focus..

OR, F11 fighter plane... OR F11 as in aperature literally and ISO 2047 (Sys Horizon) so something to do with cameras 😄

Aperature.. ISO... Shutterspeed..

[hasty anvil]

Well Holtow, skyway red moon, red circle (/recording) are definitely all linked

[snow walrus]

has the day come?:D
update: looks like yes

[eternal violet]

R.Cade already solved this

[snow walrus]

really? i was checking the unsolved spreadsheet

[snow walrus]

found it thanks! https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1206741392286547998

[alpine junco]

Make sure to check the code. A lot of game leaks come out from code and files.

[spring thistle]

What code

[jovial pilot]

Sys horizon type shi

[alpine junco]

The code for the game. Thats how leaks come out for games like CS2.

[alpine junco]

F5.6 for the eyes

[spring thistle]

What about the code

It's all machine code. No source

Basically unreadable

[alpine junco]

Someone somehwere knows how to break their way in

[alpine junco]

Analog camera always have red dots for alignment of the lens hood and some have red dots to mark infrared film

[hearty meteor]

eyes

[dull marsh]

So then maybe the red dot on the QR code is simply indicating (11, 13)

(the location of the dot on the code)

Or (13, 11)

[hearty meteor]

why 13

[dull marsh]

Because the red dot on the QR code is on pixels x=11 and y=13

[hearty meteor]

ah

[dull marsh]

Wait let me check to make sure I'm not wrong, cuz it's from memory

[cold heart]

for those who dont know, Nova updated the doc btw https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tfveK-QScK3a7dr9LxGxIuFiw89nhoUxJvbfwCkMgXU/edit?gid=411951774#gid=411951774

[hearty meteor]

we had no eyes between 29th may and 16th july?

[cold heart]

yeah p sure..

[hearty meteor]

damn...

[dull marsh]

Ok my bad, I was a bit wrong, good thing I checked to avoid spreading misinformation

It's in (11, 15)

Or (15, 11)

And if we start from a 0 index it would be (10, 14)

Or (14, 10)

[alpine junco]

Apollo 11 and Apollo 15?

[cold heart]

we did get magnifying glasses though, its the next page
but thats only stuff from Ludos mega thread

[alpine junco]

There are a lot of Apollo missions

[dull marsh]

#1257779008536576011 he reacted to a few messages there

[alpine junco]

Wait a minute. Black knight satellite was on the STS 88 mission. “The seven-day mission was highlighted by the mating of the U.S.-built Unity node to the Functional Cargo Block (Zarya module)”
Zarya translates to “sunrise/dawn”

[hearty meteor]

1 knight 3 dawns

ouhh ic

[timber hound]

Im sure you all already know about it but on skyway stadium there are several bigfoot looking "sprays" around the ground

[cold heart]

its an old glitch that happens on all maps

[timber hound]

interestin

[wooden crystal]

old glitch?

[alpine junco]

little easter egg in the main menu is the stadium announcer commentating a game that is going on while you are in the digital waiting room

[opal pond]

Wait really? I’ve never heard that

Is it rare? Or just something you have to really listen for

[alpine junco]

turn off the music and u can hear it

[opal pond]

I’ll give it a try soon

[alpine junco]

idk if u can hear it

[opal pond]

Thanks for the video

[opal pond]

I can hear the crowd cheering

But no wonder I haven’t heard it before haha

[alpine junco]

he says something after each crowd cheer and there are 3 cheers

[opal pond]

Okay

Wondering if theres an ee with what hes saying now

Prob not

[alpine junco]

there was a main menu ee in season 1

[opal pond]

Was that the one that never got found and was removed when s2 launched?

[alpine junco]

yup

[opal pond]

Hmm ok

I hope we ever get info on that one

Like what it was

[alpine junco]

probably not

[unkempt dune]

"ranzio" from the Minimum Coverage charm from the Holtow Insured Driver set

[hard forge]

nice 1

[unkempt dune]

it's also a collective that's involved with Arc Raiders

I don't think we've ever been given their name before until this charm

[cold heart]

this was on one of the other helmets before, but never a name 😮

[unkempt dune]

for reference to what @cold heart is talking about

[pure loom]

does anyone recall when the dolphin charm was mentioned before this?

whoops - didn't mean to wake you Rob haha

[hard forge]

Yes

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/smaug-treasure-rich-dragon-the-hobbit-gif-11677489

[hard forge]

He slipped in OT then deleted and posted in Main chat

[pure loom]

ah, ok, that would explain why I can't find it!

[hard forge]

I can link you the message

[proud minnow]

No worries, I’ve been up gaming for an hour… I know when the charm was hinted as a clue… weeks before S2… ._.

[cold heart]

so its not on SYS$HORIZON...? (or was that just a teaser 😭 )

[hard forge]

@pure loom Amhr was talking about Cannon charm

then this happened #1201288968562552863 message

"There's a gun charm and a dolphin charm"

so 2 charms?

[pure loom]

Thanks!

That helps heaps

[cold heart]

i was looking... i dont think anyone has brought up these digits before?

CRASH TEST DEPT
SERIAL NR 863225-228-022884638 ```
something along those lines maybe ?

i can see people looked into the numbers on the back of the neck, for the crash test dummy, which was for Minerva
... but couldnt find anything for this, does anyone own this jacket so i could look better in-game, or have any ideas?

[vale igloo]

that might be better asked in the offtopic

[unkempt dune]

it's not off-topic

it's very much on-topic

[valid lichen]

Massive info possibly

[shrewd fog]

‘nr’ is short for ‘number’ in Sweden 🙂

6 digits - 3 digits - 9 digits 🤔

[sharp flame]

he might have been pre-teasing it before it was possible

like teasing Koi in Vegas

maybe the idea of Dolphins were hidden on one of the pre-Horizon maps

[hard forge]

glitch Clusters?

[sharp flame]

surely not teasing the charm..

[fallen summit]

LORE!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!111!!!

[atomic rock]

Reminds me of engineering notation

If we use engineering notation it’ll always be brought to a x10^3/6/9/12/etc

[cold heart]

I miss the glitch clusters 😭

[woeful sonnet]

have we figured out the dolphin charm yet?

[fresh quiver]

no

[dull marsh]

It's probably not gonna be as big of a hint as people expect

[valid lichen]

Any hint is something😭

[dull marsh]

Well yes and no, we have plenty already and yet no charm in sight

And we've had some big clues already

[valid lichen]

Thats true

But hey maybe one more hint will push us over the edge and we will finally figure it out

[timber wolf]

how far are we on the dolphin easter egg?

[alpine junco]

The progress bar is stuck on 99%

[jovial pilot]

I feel like to unlock the charm,we need to search Kyoto since it’s the new map or Sy$ horizon

[cold heart]

we knew we could get the dolphin charm WAY before Kyoto came out though

[jovial pilot]

Than why can’t we get it?

I mean we are supposed to get the charm after we activate the dolphin « dance »

[eternal violet]

citation needed

[jovial pilot]

Wdym

[eternal violet]

where's the proof that we were supposed to get the charm after activating cetacea EE?

[jovial pilot]

I think we are supposed because I’m pretty sure @pure loom said in one of his vids or I just have bad hearing

But I’m pretty he said we will get the charm after doing some things in horizon

[cold heart]

@jovial pilot it would make no sense for the Dolphin Charm EE to require Kyoto, when we knew about being able to get that charm over a month before S3....

also the CETACEA EE being a requirement also isnt likely... but we know that, that EE, does hint us towards the charm - Rob has hinted a lot at their movement/ similar

not sure what the confusion about that is 🤔

[jovial pilot]

I understand I was just giving ideas where we could search

[jovial pilot]

Either a glitch or we need to find/do something

[graceful solstice]

probably the latter

[jovial pilot]

What latter?

[woeful sonnet]

why?

we know that the charm can be gotten on at least maps before season 2

cuz it was mentioned before then

which means it can be gotten on seoul, skyway stadium, or monaco at least

and vegas

[jovial pilot]

@woeful sonnet good point tbh

[woeful sonnet]

plus one of the devs said that it can only be done in public, and is easier as a team, however a solo light can do it

so whatever it is, a light can do it, it wont be class specific

[jovial pilot]

Means we gotta check all those maps

[woeful sonnet]

also monaco is on a sea so, theres water there just like sys horizon

for a bit i thought that it was bouncing a beach ball on your head

cuz dolphin circus tricks

but i dont think theres beach balls
or if props can land on your head

[jovial pilot]

Water is too deep in monaco

[woeful sonnet]

like too far away? fair

[jovial pilot]

I mean kyoto has water but was not introduced in s2

[woeful sonnet]

thats it, im scrolling on the wiki of what dolphins can do

[woeful sonnet]

yea

[cold heart]

because Rob told us we would get a hint in 3.8...

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[woeful sonnet]

what if you can hop out the border of the map and get into the water of monaco

[jovial pilot]

What does 3.8 mean?

[woeful sonnet]

update 3.8

[jovial pilot]

Oh

[cold heart]

the version of the game.. update 3.8

[jovial pilot]

I meant it would take some time tbh

[woeful sonnet]

also why is the thread for the dolphin charm closed

or at least i cant talk in it

[fresh quiver]

time to lift some confusions

[woeful sonnet]

updating the total info list?

[cold heart]

you cant... and also please read #egg-hunt-onboarding
EEs dont require going out of bounds

[woeful sonnet]

oh ok

[fresh quiver]

no. the infos you guys are sharing here are not to 100% correct.

[woeful sonnet]

this is like the first time ive typed in the finals discord

[fresh quiver]

so I will lift some of them

[woeful sonnet]

oh mb

i was just reading back old stuff

[jovial pilot]

Of course cuz we talk about what makes sense and what doesn't

[fresh quiver]

the charm will be on SYS$. it was only said that it was teased before S2 as a hint.

[fresh quiver]

a solo can probably do it solo. was never tested by rob himself

[hard forge]

Allow me to point towards the golden summary for Dolphin charm. give me a second

I was searching on this 30min ago but I'm pretty sure the Black Knight refers to Dark Horse Comics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Horse_Comics

They made some Indiana Jones stuff too

And the location of their office fits the format of coordinates from #1220636359153291284

i am going to check if i can find a monkey at i6

[fallen summit]

um my the bottom left of my main lobby screen's pixels just speraticaly turned random colors...

sending pics in a sec

[tropic tree]

weird

[spring thistle]

That looks like a rendering error

[fallen summit]

hm

[tropic tree]

maybe

[spring thistle]

Specifically when the GPU hardware is having issues

I've seen this before

[agile wren]

From CNS with Love

[fallen summit]

ha

[gusty timber]

CNS is a core part of the game's lore and story so I think that's a fair assumption

[proud minnow]

ouch... well that looks like an hardware issue, GPU issue, cable, monitor... I hope not, but that is not in the game...

[fallen summit]

oh, thats concerning

[spring thistle]

Last time I saw this, the GPU died shortly after

Be careful

[fallen summit]

my xbox's gpu????

Anybody tried URLs relating to the song titles?

[spring thistle]

Apu, yes

Just turn it off for the time being

[fallen summit]

woah

[spring thistle]

If it shows up again then get it checked out

Also @fallen summit I want to add that as rob said, it could just be a cable/port/monitor issue so you don't have to worry too much.

[tropic tree]

yea that happened to me and i just switched the cable out it is was fine

[spring thistle]

Yeah my DP cable is also a little busted and a little bit of static shows up if I move it.

[proud minnow]

I got this on my xbox a couple of years ago on another GPU heavy game (not any game I worked on hehe), I cleaned the fans since I guessed the GPU was overheating, I also changed the cable to the tv... not sure if that was the thing, but at least it worked after that... (BTW don't open your xbox if you don't want to lose the warranty..!)

7th 3HM has been found by @hard forge
#1211002564015824906 message

[unborn pilot]

so now that we can finally "move on", what do we do with the 5 WR, 7 3HM, and 3 Dolphins?

its time to find that obvious connection

[snow walrus]

we have just found them not solved.. -_-

time to brainstorm

[tropic tree]

where is the page for the level 3

[fresh quiver]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfeeactivationlvl3

[tardy drum]

There's that one thread with all the passwords people have tried. Not sure how many variations though, including variations with 1337 speak lol

[tropic tree]

thanks

[fresh quiver]

#1226677330689261631

[snow walrus]

no more "👀"

shall we pin this

[tropic tree]

yes

[fresh quiver]

I really thought in the past was said there would be 4 levels. but i might have misremembered

[fresh quiver]

@tired aspen hi, can you pin us this please? thanks in advance

[velvet narwhal]

I wonder how long rob can follow that rule..

[tropic tree]

give it a week

[snow walrus]

.. and from now on he starts using different emote..

[fresh quiver]

about the brainstorming. the first and only thing i would see is that all are mammals. but else. dunno

[tropic tree]

👀

[spring thistle]

He'll break eventually

He has before

[fresh quiver]

in 1 month we have a flatline again for 4 weeks and he might break again. but we will see.

[tardy drum]

Ive been trying passwords maybe once a week, just difficult since the previous passwords have included numbers to replace letters.. I'm worried we might have tried it, but not 1337 sp34k enough

[neon raptor]

The white rabbits were an anagram right?

[fresh quiver]

just wait 3 months until ludo finds out again we were close 😂

[tardy drum]

The password is actually 'LudoNOPE' just to spite us

[fresh quiver]

no. it would be R41D probably.

as he posted ovoaurum & 0v0aurum first 😂

[tropic tree]

i had to check just in case

[dull marsh]

I think all 3 easter eggs relate to the moon:
Rabbit:
Moon rabbit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rabbit
3-Headed Monkeys:
3HM used to be related to ToD, weather and/or some astronomical event:

• ToD: night
• Weather: clear night
• Astronomical event: full moon?
  From march 2023 #easter-eggs message

Fish: nah I hate Monaco Nighttime
Rob: That’s my absolute favorite setting, plays so different from all standard ToD’s… ._.
Dolphins
3 dolphins "orbiting" around a point which is also going in circle... well guess what...
Earth has 3 "moons": https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/news-earth-moon-dust-clouds-satellites-planets-space
The 3 moons probably also relate to the 3 heads of the Monkey

Now, the aphelion of the moons ranges between 404000–406700 km...
Like for real?? 404 and 000 in the same number??

[tardy drum]

Dolphins also took off from the ocean into 'space' in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

[tropic tree]

true

[unkempt dune]

rob did say "perhaps you can hear a bell ringing somewhere in the distance.." when posting part of THE_FINALS_I_Want_to.png and the moon has been described as "ringing like a bell" before

https://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/education/_documents/What We've Learned about the Moon.pdf

just getting into all of this what am i supposed to be looking for

[ripe rune]

fr me too

[dull marsh]

Start here #egg-hunt-onboarding , it will take a bit to get up to speed, watch Rockhound's videos

And remember that everything is tied together so the stuff from the beginning of the hunt is important too

[cerulean cobalt]

New to this so not sure if this is relevant or not but
i was messing with the shape on the ceiling of the house in the practice range since i thought it looked like the “disappearing act” spray You get for demat rank 4.
The shape on the ceiling lights up if you demat then bring it back, then slowly fades away again.
The base of the light fixture can be done separately - if you undematerialize just the base and looking at it from above looks like a moon

[tropic tree]

that has already been seen

Every window on SYS has that square pattern except for one. It’s top floor library. Is that just a mistake by the designers or is that intentional?

[amber trout]

got a picture?

[empty plaza]

I would like to publicly apologize if I’ve been overstepping boundaries. My recent mute made me realize I’ve been an annoyance without realizing, and I’m sorry for not realizing sooner. I’ll be doing my best to stay on-topic and concise in threads, and try to be as mindful as possible of my tone in discussions. I don’t want to be removed from this server, so please forgive me. Let’s solve some EE’s

[spring thistle]

Pr team apology type post. I'm glad you realized

No idea what you did tho

Oh wait I see

[cold heart]

Yeah a few people in the thread said its broken too, i hadnt realised - thanks for confirming though

[neon raptor]

I don’t, if anybody wants to look for it it’s near the corner of the map by the fire escape stair side of the library

[cold heart]

this top floor window

@neon raptor @spice lark

when you go close to the glass on SYS - it has a grid effect on the window... this top window is the (or one of the) only windows that doesnt do that

[hard forge]

weird

[cold heart]

i think its a incorrect LOD on that window though, so just a bug

you can see its using a low quality cubemap in the reflection that none of the other windows have... from that position i dont think the rainbow stripes should be reflected

[snow walrus]

Arion began singing a song in praise of Apollo, seeking the god's help. Consequently, numerous dolphins surrounded the ship and when Arion jumped into the water, the dolphins carried him away safely.

follow the waves?

[fallen summit]

are the 👀 and rob reactions still being tracked by the script that someone made? have seen people that arent rob using them a lot and dont know if that interferes with the script.

this gives me a small hope/ guess that we will ride the dolphins that we saw in the original dolphin ee

this an emoji in arc raiders server

[cold heart]

nice find! never noticed that before 😮

[silk bolt]

i have noticed it way back in season 1 and posted it here back then but it wasn't releated to anything and just now noticed the arc raiders server emojis and it reminded me of the one in the practice range

[cold heart]

also similar to this gif btw #easter-eggs message (J U I K)

[inland hemlock]

Good eye there gj!

[rugged breach]

Implication being there's 3 more? 🤔

it's at practice range there's one at each bot that shoot each other

[dull marsh]

Rob has said that for now we don't need any more 👀 , I'm assuming this is only relating to current Level 3 thing and if we find stuff for other EEs we'll still get eyes, but no need to look for them at this point

[spice lark]

if we don't need any more 👀 maybe we need more 👂👂

[dull marsh]

We don't need Rob's eyes, we need our own

One connection between the 3 animals could be their movement. Monkeys swing from the top. Rabbits hop from the ground. Dolphins (on SYS in particular) dive down then jump up and repeat. All are a wave like pattern

[hasty anvil]

He did say they’re linked in an obvious way so shouldn’t have to dig too deep

But why would we need 7 monkeys for that haha

I like the idea though

[craggy plover]

WR is on objects that spell S LIES right? So is there anything that the monkeys seem to spell?

[fresh quiver]

most obious is they are all mammals

[rugged breach]

Hidden in plain sight could also be a theme

all 3 animals jump

rabbits hop, frogs leap, dolphins jump out of the water

[fresh quiver]

@unborn pilot %b% could mean xbx. but dont know if this makes more sense

[unborn pilot]

yeah, i've seen % used as x, but xbx made no sense haha

unless it's for Xbox lol

[fresh quiver]

but is xbox wouldt make any more sense because of the is xD

[unborn pilot]

the full url had _%25b%25 which simply turns into %b% so let's assume that's true

what word exists that could be two of the same letter with b in the middle like aba, ebe,

[alpine junco]

not an EE but this painting had red under then painted over in black

[unborn pilot]

Hmm. I never thought about it but % could be a number like 2

[fresh quiver]

ohhhh. that thing! it was talked about. give me a second

nvm. i might thought about something else

[unborn pilot]

yeah i remember the convos, but don't think anything was solved with that phrase.

the image is still up via Squarespace funny enough. I don't think it's on the site anywhere though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6575a0eafa56381d6129675f/aac77ab3-6833-4219-a7dd-eaa5d4f97cea/xX_RuRDY_!S_%25b%25_Xx.gif

Interesting that the markings on the pipes in Seoul seem to spell "SL" like "S LIES" 🤔
(Rob has confirmed these are Lore and not EE hunt #easter-eggs message)

[crystal aurora]

is it linked to the ME EE?

[hard forge]

lore*

[alpine junco]

Good ol days of looking for the WR

[unkempt dune]

you know, I heard this around 5:30PM UTC.. maybe it only plays around that time and that's the only reason why I rarely hear it

interesting enough, in 530 BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/530_BC), The Temple of Apollo at Delphi was approximately built that year

[unkempt dune]

rob's "hear a bell ringing in the distance somewhere" could be related

[cold heart]

this: #easter-eggs message

perhaps you can hear a bell ringing somewhere in the distance..?

[unkempt dune]

it just seems so random to hear a bell (or bells, can't remember at this point) once in a blue moon while loading into monaco

that'd imply that there's a bell-related sound that play every now and then based on some irl timestamp, they're random, or they're in a spot that's not commonly heard (or a combination of some of those)

[lost wedge]

I've seen some top down maps like:

Anyone know if they have these for the newer maps?

found: https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io/#seoul?category=NEW&title=NEW&x=66.87806301050176%25%25%26y=8.535005834305718%25%25%26pinImg=https%3A%2F%2Fcoolstuffgoeshere.github.io%2Ficons%2Ffried-egg.png&dataImg=ABC

[cold heart]

those are from the wiki

[spice lark]

What happens if we perfectly overlay the top-down maps and then mark our 3hm, white rabbits, and our dolphins? Might it make an image or spell something, perhaps if we connect the dots after too?

[spring thistle]

Seems unlikely

[spice lark]

have what we need with the monkeys we have tho?

[spring thistle]

Not 100%

[fresh quiver]

probably nothing. Throwing it in here anyway just in case.
But there is also a Audio Mixer named "Apollo View Modular - Rabbit Hole"

the rings looks kinda familiar to me. (edited)

[pure loom]

we have found enough to solve the puzzle. We just need to work out how to do that. One of the lead theories is that the monkeys map out a constellation

[fresh quiver]

addition to this: If you look onto the lower "Apollo View" There is also a "wave" shown. right from Apolllo View.

funny enough it is identical to the wave that was inside the same file where xX_TF_S2_FreeDoom_Ver06_24bit_Wav_Xx was located

[pure loom]

One theory that I've been discussing with @unborn pilot is that the White Rabbits, Dolphins and 3H Monkeys could each represent a constellation, but maybe in different ways and that could lead is to a solution. As an example, The constellations Lepus (Hare) and Cetus (Whale) could be the rabbits and dolphins, and the monkeys could be the Monkey Head Nebula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_2174) in Orion. These three constellations have one constellation they all border, which is Eradinus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eridanus_(constellation) - but that's as far as I've got with that.

Also, we could have worked that out without finding all 7 monkeys, so that's problematic.

[dull marsh]

Using the number of letters of the names of each district the monkeys are in:

• Trash: Royal Plaza = 10
• Road: Royal Plaza = 10
• Step: Residential District = 19
• Generator: Cathedral = 9
• Overpass: Villas = 6 (this one could be Park = 4 too)
• Crack: Park = 4
• Container: Pocket Park = 10

We get 10 10 19 9 6 4 10.

As we know from Level 2 o = O = 0 = ∅ which could mean to drop the zeros.

That leaves us 1 1 19 9 6 4 1, which can be rearranged into 14 11 1969 which was the launch date of Apollo 12 mission, which could tie in with #1263921941530677370 leads

[spring thistle]

Idk how y'all pull this off

Both the creators of this stuff and the ones who figure it out

[hard forge]

ospuze maybe

[fresh quiver]

throwing things until something sticks

[unborn pilot]

that's super interesting. i wonder if that wave form means something.

[hard forge]

did we figure out who is uMn an r!?

[fresh quiver]

r! i guess we know

[hard forge]

fore sure...but he denys it

[fresh quiver]

atleast that its a "triangle wave" how it is named.
Spectrum: odd partials only (1,3,5,7...)
Relative Strength: 1/p#2 (3rd partial=1/9, 5th partial=1/25, etc.)

source: https://cmtext.indiana.edu/synthesis/chapter4_waveforms.php

[unborn pilot]

interesting, odd partials like 3 dolphins, 5 rabbits, 7 monkeys

[fresh quiver]

why has that Audio Mixer so many things familiar 😭

[hard forge]

if you look at the triangular wave, its looks like the dolphin motion

[fresh quiver]

it even has the name Rabbit Hole

[unborn pilot]

i'm guessing for now that the uneven wave represents combining two waves to create a new sound

that but imagine triangle waves

[pure loom]

whoa - that's a deep dive!

interesting result!

[pure loom]

if everyone is mad, it seems to work hahaha

[alpine junco]

do u think the last password can correlate to the new one?

[surreal pagoda]

Hi! I have crazy idea about dolphin charm EE. What if the reason you need to do it in public match is because you have to do something with daily tasks?
"you will understand why if you trigger it" Rob said, and it's kinda don't fit with all that we have at this moment, so.. 🤔 (sorry, cant write in the dolphins thread)

[stone idol]

mabey

[cold heart]

Registration Black to be specific, but yeah its just printing marks

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

crop/ trim marks are the horizontal and vertical lines in each corner

[fresh quiver]

it needs to be in an public game, because only in public games the rewarding is activated afaik

[surreal pagoda]

Yes, but did you receive something like charm or skin just for playing public match? Except for the battle pass and level progression, but that has nothing to do with EE itself and also not as obvious to say this. Like, if it's a special event, why can't you just get it? It's still a server afterall. There must be something more logical

[tardy drum]

That doesn’t line up with a lot of other clues and I’m sure the thousands of people playing and doing daily tasks would’ve unlocked it by now.

I mean the daily tasks* idea

[craggy plover]

I mean other than that there’s not really any difference between a public and private match

[tardy drum]

This is a stretch cause I don’t know how online games/maps work, but it could be a thing where it has to be a public, live game so the servers can relay a change on the map in real time if activated, like something visual happens.
Not to say that private matches aren’t online, but because they’re “closed” lobbies, the servers can’t feed a live change to them or something? No clue but lol hopefully someone understands what I’m trying to say

[surreal pagoda]

We don't have many clues what so ever (or am I missing something?) and I don't think any of this is inconsistent with this. At least we don't even know how many steps we need to take, so...

[tardy drum]

We have a LOT of clues.. nothing specific, but of what we’ve gotten, nothing points to daily tasks.

Clues were updated today in #1243224234675802135 too

[surreal pagoda]

Still, it can be 1 step of number. I just don't believe that Rob meant rewards by his words

[tardy drum]

I don’t think Rob has ever been misleading, but if you think it’s a different meaning then that’s fair.

[fresh quiver]

arent daylies also different for everyone?

[surreal pagoda]

Most likely

But wait.. Iirc, when we need to tag enemies with sonar or fire etc - suddenly I start noticing them a lot more than usual, so mb not

[surreal pagoda]

yea, i just think it's kinda deeper than we assume

[tardy drum]

I used to think that.. now I think it’s the opposite since he said we’re close and someone almost did it the other day. I think we’ve been trying the right things in the wrong way sadly, but who knows lol. It might be multi-step, it might be single step, we haven’t a clue (on the right method) so we just gotta keep trying .-. Or looking around for suspicious things

[alpine junco]
