Maybe they're orbital configurations and not geographic coordinates
Is there a way to calculate the total area of our 5 coordinates on google maps or elsewhere?
Meaning this shape
You'll have 256 possibilities but yeah with some trigonometry you should be able to calculate it I guess 🤔
But I wouldn't expect stuff to go that deep into maths
Don't those numbers appear on some of the arena objects or am I thinking of something else.
I'm going off of straightforward NE coords since they're the most common way they're used, good to have options in case we find anything pointing us towards something else though
But man am I bad at maths .-.
Not to mention conversion into km^2 to accoutn for irl accuracy
i think it's MediumWave
Holy shit yeah
Those could TOTALLY be ingame coordinates
We've had a bunch from the "leaked" Multico documents, and it strongly looks like a lot of it was related to the hunt in some way 🤔
it always is 
i have made a kml file contains all these locations labeled for google earth if it's useful i will send it
oh intersting thanks, we have this too
#easter-eggs message
4 at Atlantic ocean
4 at Antarctica
have seen it but it only gets the N E locations not using south or north :(
oh nvm it updated
That would naturally happen cause we're just reflecting the coordinates in all axis
it looks cool tho, if i was able to zoom out more :(
Yeah was about to say, we're missing the arctic ones
burrw gif
all the points (ignore the messy parts, I had to stitch a bunch of images together)
it makes some kind of an egg shape with yolk inside
the boxes are the same points
could you mark the co ords on the burrw gif which might help us find more numbers etc we might need, i have a feeling burrw is gunna play a huge part in this lvl
dunno how to do that
neither thats why im asking someone else 😂
man i wish i was able to understand and get ideas like most people here but
Just stick around and watch how the puzzles play out and you’ll get there
any ideas are welcome
okay, so here's a thought
all five number sets could lead to 1 coordinate
that has N W from last Level 2 image
i will try but damn i'm so far behind in these things
I tried doing the average of them, but got nothing: 48.92017 38.498278
Watch Rockhound's videos 😉
i watch them
That guy doesn’t know anything about the hunt, are you crazy? (We love you RHB)
It's a secret fair of mine that the EE puzzle will go down a path of something I should know a lot about hahaha
(I studied earthquake geology at postgrad level)
Little do you know, Rob is about to dox you with these coordinates
It’s your time
The Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975 (aka "The Final Acts of the Regional Administrative LF/MF Broadcasting Conference (Regions 1 and 3) Geneva, 1975" or simply "GE75") is the internationally agreed frequency plan which was drawn up to implement the provisions of the Final Acts of the Regional Administrative LF/MF Broadcasting Conference (Regions ...
Activation? Were searching for 9 passwords now
What if we flip the coordinates
The zones line up well
whaaa? Did I miss something?
The video is 1922 x 1080 btw
We’re on level 3 !
We get this
#easter-eggs message
Check da monkey thread 🐒
Now reverse it
was asconce the password?
Tldr; Monkey word's asconce, password's sliescetaceaasconce
I'm so confused
slies cetacea asconce
well that was easier than I expected
Ikr?
Yep you wrote them all out there!
That said, we do have "go" being out of place
and took almost equal days as Tier3
whoa. now I see
Yeah you were in the middle of it being unlocked, thought you knew!
Sorry, I know you were looking forward to unscrambling a 19 letter word 😂
@proud minnow Excuse me, I have a complaint to make! 
And RHB’s “go” got eyed
Australia grew a toe
could relate to this maybe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)
Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players in which the aim is to fence off more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day. A 2016 survey by the International Go Federation's 75 member nations found that ther...
widescreen problem i guess
that's a foot
I retract my complaint...
damn
“Oh man, are these real life coordinates/we need to go places?
We need to recruit more players if so lol”
Need to GO places
how we gonna go to north pole D:
Global Offensive
Air balloon?
Btw these coordinates seem more like moon craters so far
and middle of Atlantic ocean and Indian ocean
Giant Ovo
When I get home I’m gonna look into it in detail.
aside from the coordinates, do we have anything else yet?
Some low res text in kazhak from one of said coordinates #1225868357509578823 message
old and new 
Sudan was one of the potential words on MultiCo doc
Every single one of those pins seems to either be a desert (hot/arctic) or water
Here's the layout of the password names, in case that's helpful
MW or mW may refer to:
so ASCONCE is a 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 word #1211002564015824906 message
mega whoop
I think he would have just added extra letters from asconce, yeah?
not sure about that
What do you mean by that? How would it be anything other than 7?
ask rob not me
??
yeah, I think it was always going to be a word that mean mistrust, he just needed to work out the best word
Idk, he never said ASCONCE was that
he's talking about the word that we're looking for
He said he thought about words 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 letters long
which ended up being ASCONCE
yeah, unless he meant that he had to think of multiple words that'd work
and find a combo of letters that could only be one word
That was always my interpretation personally
but then would that mean the words are not important beyond the password?
I think he just meant it’s an ‘odd’ word
This fits as the 5 letter word no? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aseon
no, I think he knew it had to have 5, 7 , 9 etc letters and that it had to mean mistrust AND be a word which does not share letters with any other word
If both mean to look
There could be multiple valid interpretation 🤔
ensconced
which is why asconce was the perfect word
How do i type in the bug channel
you might need to rank up from white before you can do it (to avoid spammers)
How do i do that im mew to discord idk whats goin on or what to do
you rank up by posting in the discord, so just chatting in general or offtopic is the fastest way (don't spam to do it though)
Okay thankies
It’s a ‘odd’ word that relates to distrustful monkeys 🙊 is my take on it
Necropolis 🤔, Virunum
9 passwords 5 coordinates
3 areas
can 5 coordinates be used to make a 
Yes, like the 5 on a die
maybe the centre of the X isn't a location of something current, but more like an event, like a shipwreck etc
A * B * C is area
Another thing im thinking about are the coordinates from #1220636359153291284
Are additional
So maybe we know the area and can work backwards with the 5 coordinates we have
And then the most recent #official-art is connected to that and this new stage
I'm back with a quick (schizo?) theory in regards to this-
Kyoto 1568 + Las Vegas 2032 = 3600

Circle
Big circle lol
here's where they intersect
Idk if @dull marsh saw when I mentioned this or he already has it but
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frogs
Curious if it’s connected at all somewhere lol
The Gulf of Guinea is the northeasternmost part of the tropical Atlantic Ocean from Cape Lopez in Gabon, north and west to Cape Palmas in Liberia. Null Island, defined as the intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian (zero degrees latitude and longitude), is in the gulf.
Among the many rivers that drain into the Gulf of Guinea are the Niger...
That's also 0,0 coordinates-wise, neat catch
Question is, do all coordinates just naturally do that if you flip them on all axis like we did?
What 9 things could come from this?
Name of islands?
It could be that solving mma-1a leads to mma-1b etc
Like we don't know if we have info to solve all 9 now, or only 1
Here's the antipodes map location from the crossover point - near Kiribati and Gilbert Islands
WTF - Gilbert Islands: "The British explorer Vice-Admiral John Byron passed through the islands in 1765 during his circumnavigation of the globe as captain of HMS Dolphin."
How did you end up with 8 coordinates to intersect from the 5 we got?
wow, no way! you guys are incredible and I'm still confused too...
the wife of the captain of the HMS Dolphin was named Sophia.
That's the 5 coordinates we got mirrored on every axis and gives 20. But still not following why 8 were picked?
I'm not sure either - @unkempt dune how did you come up with that map?
Ah. I think the other 3 regions are simply what "it could be" if the letters were to be other than N & E. He also posted the original one which is just the 5 in the GIF
Which is quite possible that they're simply numbers without the N and W we got in I Want To
so same N, but flipped to be W
Didn't we already solve the dolphin?
I totally forgot about that clue in I_Want_To. Probably relevant now.
what website is this?
distance calculator midpoint gps map coordinates Geocaching CacheSleuth
it fits what we got today. either a coincidence....or maybe they're all UFO landing zones....
could you link that please?
Which thing exactly?
the co-ordinates from I_Want_To
23 XXX 0176 XX 0002 XXX```
```0176 = °
14th letter = N
23rd letter = W
N XX° XX 0002 XX
W XXX° XX 0002 XXX```
N xx° xx.xx
W xxx° xx.xxx
from: I want to_.jpg
Thanks!
Need the picture? It's all cut up and stuff so it's messy, but the top part is what we got from it
here's a good one and i'm sure there's more above if you scroll. #1220636359153291284 message
How did we derive . from 0002 again?
You can leave after just help me start lol
Yep
Sorry, quick interrupt. Has the third fantail been found yet?
0002 is still questionable. That's why it wasn't in that second section actually. I just had it below cause it fits that format. We ideally need to find a connection to it being a . or "
ET5U, thank you 🥹❤️
If this is like other Levels so far, then solving these 9 will likely be multiple steps and we'll get some other images/clues to go with it.
Last one had 2 groups of 3 puzzles until it funneled into a final answer. This one appears to be more like solve the first 3 (a, b, c) then next 3, then last 3
I noticed a bar code looking thing on the new dissun master circuit body paint
Feel free to leave at any time Raid, thank you again!
from the whiteboard on Skyway. Reminded me of it
any chance you can get a higher resolution or more zoomed in picture? or if you have in unlocked have someone look at it in game and take a pic.
Tried zooming in and it was very blurry
It also is only obtainable in 3 weeks
Anyone made a summary of what happened?
Like who discovered it
And what we need to do now
Scarf figured out (yesturday) that ASCONCE was the 3HM word
after some confusion today.. Rob told us that it was in fact correct #1211002564015824906 message
minuites after that.. i believe TonyB figured out the activation password: #1211002564015824906 message
being sliescetaceaasconce - by just concatenating all 3 "words"
which takes us here: https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level3 .... Level 3: THE HUNT
U need a password to get there?
With no hint?
you need to enter the password to see it - the one i just said... "sliescetaceaasconce" 
unless you mean the 9 passwords pages ON level 3?
you guys are amazing
Any ideas on that?
nope!
#easter-eggs message
Rob posted a picture of a liquid awhile back and here are some of my guesses:
Benzene - colorless/light yellow
Blood plasma - light to dark amber
Engine oil, transmission fluid, some kind of synthetic motor oil
Amber glass
Vinegar, probably apple cider vinegar
Olive oil and honey were mentioned before
Iced tea has a very similar color
Ambrosia/Nectar, reference to Greek mythology
Retinol is yellow
Tree resin/sap
—
After watching a lot of motor oil being poured from beaker stock footage I really do think it looks like motor oil.
Also for some reasons a lot of the stock photos are being poured in the opposite direction. Might make it easier to find the original.
Since Rob said it was a nerdy science reference my best guess is that it is some sort of chemical related to the EE.
Could be related to bees or something that could be hiding on the map
In terms of trigger-able EEs Monaco has cannons, Sys has the dolphins, Skyway probably has something to with the red moon? So this is probably referencing the Vegas, Seoul, or Kyoto trigger-able EEs
#easter-eggs message
Since every map has one
Rob mentions that the Kyoto one is a favorite here, so my best guess is that this image is probably referring to Kyoto since Rob calls it his favorite again
#easter-eggs message
Could be a hidden beehive or something on Kyoto? Idk
I’m available to join any private lobbies if needed
Speaking of bees, the firefly moon phase lanterns are very interesting. I know they aren't exactly bees, but they're the closest thing that we've got.
ive heavily updated the Level 3 part of the Miro board
... let me know if there is anything i should add thats relevant enough/ has enough ground
you should go to bed probably 😄
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?share_link_id=818466922097
going 'eep for a bit now though
way past my bed time (8am >.>)
8AM. YES you should. Have a good one
i have been grinding WT too lol 😬 it takes so long to rank up...
theres also that bee comb like symbol on the saddles in kyoto
That too
Probably the Azai Clan #easter-eggs message
I believe the image of honey has something to do with Kyoto for sure
havent paid attention in a bit ngl, but did we find anything in the names of the songs for s2 or is it just making it look cool bc CNS (these are out of order)
We didn't find anything iirc. I think it just looks cool
has anyone noticed that scotty now says sys horizion instead of what is this arena?
he goes between the two, I heard both versions recently
I think he called it Sys Horizon in S2 too
i don't remember that tbh..i remember that he always used to say "are we sure this supposed to be like that?" "what ever this CNS is" and other things along these lines
He's probably used to it by now
Maybe I've heard him question the arena at least once in s3. I'm mostly tabbed out of the game until it actually starts
Hmm
this is so cool
The box where the coordinates appear is named ‘counter’ 🤔
Didn't rob promise another official art last weekend
Well, he didn't promise it per se. It might still come this week.
The given coordinates plotted on a basic graph with lines between them based on the order they appear in the gif, does this ring any bells from previous hints or something?
Inb4 it's some constellation or something again 
We're gonna keep saying constellations, until we get bored of trying to find one, then Rob's gonna sneak one in
Interestingly enough, the background video on the level 3 page was uploaded only 13 days ago
1722000312574 > Fri Jul 26 2024 13:25:12 GMT+0000
By the boss himself
Yeah I imagined it held no relevance, cheers
In this level all 9 "tiers" are open at the same time. I wonder how we'll match clues.
Not that I'm expecting it to function exactly the same as level 2 or anything
i'm a bit out of the loop, what are we tryna solve at the moment?
feels like there's 500 things being solved at once, hard to keep track 😭
Unlocked level 3 yesterday
That's the main focus right now
didn't we unlock t3 months ago with 0v0aurum? or am i misremembering things
No the next one
We got it last night
We solved Level 2 T3 months ago and solved the activation of Level 3 yesterday
9 password pages??? 😭 holy crap
have we got a direct link/download for the Glitched Map background?
Thx Rob
awesome! thanks
Wait, can they all fit on a single circle?? 🤔
skill issue

The blinking of diffrent parts seem to have a pattern, they light up in the same order at least twice (edit: it's three times)... but also rythm wise, it could be morse?
Plus Rob mentions it's a video and not a gif, so we have a beginning and an end to the patterns
i dont think there was anything in l2/l3activation backgrounds
gifs also have a beginning and an end tbh
Even if there isn't anything hidden in the backgroun, it might still hold a meaning of some sort
i meant it was easier to spot haha
Yeah that's definitely not just decoration
Also weird how some moving dots change directions, what could that be?
can someone give me the thread to this new media pls
We can make a thread for it but I'm not sure if it's really necessary, we don't know if there really is anything to get out of it 🤔
can i have some context in where it came from?
It's the background video for the Level 3 password page
oh i see
https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level3
Password: sliescetaceaasconce
so that was solved a while ago then
Last night 😄
ooooh
so new things are afoot now
wait what was the missing letters?
which we were struggling with
it was the 3HM wasnt it
asconce from 3HM
ah
didn't even know it was a word at the time lol
please excuse me I havent kept up to date
i really shouldnt be clogging the EE chat with my lack of insight
is there a thread for this new level 3?
Kinda but now that we've "solved" all 3 EEs we should probably stick with this channel for the main talk
ok im confused, whats the gist now
Anyway, we're still waiting for @fallen jasper to rework this section into a forum based channel...

We have this page with 3 gifs displaying what looks like coordinates, and then for each there are 3 X a, b and c which all need a password... that's pretty much it...
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1225868357509578823 if you want to see the coordinates more easily @alpine whale
apreciate it
gonna try get myself back up to speed and possibly help
But it's best to exchange on here if you have questions
Kinda didnt realise till i opened on mobile
that it makes a figure of 8... all of them
like OBVIOUSLY its duplicated and mirrored 4 times, but it didnt have to make an 8
could have been any shape/ abstract/ pattern
oh yeah good catch
i was gonna mention that yesterday but i was like "i bet they're gonna say they already saw it" so i didn't lol
that explains the randomness of the locations
i took a look at all the NE coordinates and posted what i found in #1270882064249520198
NE is what they should be defaulted to because only positive numbers were provided. (i'm fairly certain that's how it works)
but if you zoom and draw lines in it's more like three circles
thats true
also that, but the top and bottom aren't the same
this feels more like a coincidence than anything else but you never know
could be 🤷♀️
Something like that from memory (I can’t find the link and I should be working atm lol)
almost got burrw ptsd
or this too, this is what i meant by the top and bottom don't match
Imo it’s pretty symmetric
Could also be a yellow circle in the middle instead of a yellow rectangle
we dont make 9 threads for the passwords. do we? 
i mean its symmetric because its mirrored 4 times
No I meant the red and green circles I made lol
(I was answering to HoneyBadger when he said "also that, but the top and bottom aren't the same")
Or I misunderstood what you just said @cold heart ?
Just a unlikely theory:
9 passwords, 9 celestial bodies?
if only it was a nonagon...
I think I missed the part where it got mirrored 4 times because I don’t understand that part, I’m sorry I’m just picking up the pieces, it’s hard to trace back every detail 
has anyone thought of earth's magnetic fields?
there is 5 pairs of numbers in this gif
- these COULD be coordinates
we dont know if these are for NE, NW, SE, SW
Atsu made a map of ALL 20 combinations
Oh my god okay
no worries 
Initially i thought MMA was for marine magnetic anomaly given that half of our points are in water but it didn’t lead me anywhere
Still, your point when you say it’s weird how it makes an 8 still stands! Like… we know how that EE could go anywhere with Rob’s genius so it’s useful to point anything that could look like something. Like… what if it was intended?
dude thats what im saying
Well I’m on your boat
Big brain moment: maybe these numbers are NOT coordinates
Even if we’re wrong, we should point at things imo. I’ll gladly admit I was wrong, I don’t have enough ego to push things when someone proves me I’m wrong haha
Okay, interesting! What kind of numbers could that be?
No idea, but we should keep that in mind and explore other kinds of numbers
Maybe they're moon coordinates? Maybe they're orbital parameters? Maybe they're something completely different
It'd be crazy if one were to point to the moon landing spot
Yeah! That’s a lot of decimals after the dot though… idk what kind of unit or conversion we’d have to make but yeah that could be it
I think we'll get even more numbers. The gif has 01 at the end.
I was curious about this yesterday so I went to test it with arbitrary coordinates cause I had a feeling they naturally do that. They make circles cause earth's round and mirroring/reflecting things on it lead to that, always centered around 0,0 a bit off the gulf of guinnea
might have just made my first ever fairly big EE discovery
woooooo let me confirm this rq tho
the coordinates are very likely places on the moon
posted more info in #1270882064249520198
Welcome to the hunt, fish!
Found a barcode on the masters circuit final reward
Im trying the coordinates in space
http://www.avastronomyclub.org/skymap/d/skymap.php
interestingly its noted by RA and Dec
What does it say?
Image?
Morning all! Any breakthroughs overnight?
just some theories of coordinates being on moon and leading to named craters
slightly slightly better image
ha! I was literally just think this
this is a very good idea
time to take a course

Describes the various coordinate systems used by astronomers, with a focus on the celestial coordinate system used in astronomical catalogues (also called equatorial coordinates) and how these are transformed to an azimuth and altitude (also know as an elevation).
Bitdefender refuses to let me view this page because its certificate is for a different URL. There doesn't seem to be many searchable sky maps
Also, I can't see on Google Moon how to search coordinates
there was something called Google Sky that was just killed this month
thanks google!
gotta love google axing things they can't profit from
Yeah that was noted by R.Cade and a couple other people I think, "Right Ascension"
Are there any other "basements" in-game other then the ones on Kyoto? I looked at most of them in Kyoto and did not find the Amiga art ._.
for those that missed it... i feel like it got lost in the chaos of Emerald, and Level3
this is what Amhr is refering to: #1201288968562552863 message
I would assume that means it will be in future map?
he said it would try to be in S3 though, and he said it would be in "today" which was when the patch came out
it might be not in-game though i guess... cant think of basements outside of Kyoto
the closet thing I even think of when talking about other basement is that one pipes and electrics area in Seoul (I think)
Does it have to be a literal basement?
The floors on Vegas can be destroyed in some casinos, they’re like 3 feet tall or something
anyone else feel like the defib paddles get slightly more scratched across levels, specifically from white to purple? i feel like ive noticed this and it would be a neat detail if it was, like they're getting more worn from use
its barely anything but i couldn't help noticing it
You're right! Scratches turn into cracks, some extra dirt on the sides, cool lil detail
I doubt it, past messages made it sound like it was already in-game. When I pointed these messages out to Rob he said no and would add it later. Im assuming since he said it went in today its most likely in game. Ive checked maybe 90% of the basements on kyoto
Im guessing it might either be more hidden then that, or it could also be on another map.
And basement is kinda hard, because other then Kyoto there arent any really ._.
tbh it could be time of day too
I tried last night and it was more blurry than that, but i feel like using the ariad face would get the best look at the bar code
Hmm truthfully it might be, when I searched it was night time always
yippie im green!
Traitor
no no im ee hunter
nice
This can't be coincidence, I don't know.. 
"At first, Lewis Dodgson (Hat & Sunglasses; work for Biosyn) was an employee who appointed Dennis Theodore Nedry (Hawaiian Shirt; Programmer) to steal fifteen dinosaur embryos from InGen as a corporate spy, leading to the downfall of Jurassic Park in the process."
cool thought
@cold heart whats with this pin?
maybe just adjusting the link is enough? As it also starts ludos big theory 😄
yeah talking to him rn dw 
I'll update it, but maybe we should just put the link in onboarding
Oh you guys mean the starting view?
yes, sorry i said in #1269468076940853248 - that link "forces" people to first read the navigation and what it is

That's not all permutations of the coordinates if we include negative numbers ofc, couldn't be arsed to edit the URL 20 times
Out of the 5 positive coordinates, only the second one jumps out as possibly interesting. Bigass crater
I was able to locate all 5 and here are their eponyms: #1270882064249520198 message
Yeah, I wasn’t for a while either
Has anyone figured out where the coordinates map to the moon?
just read the 3-4 messages above yours 😄
Hi, I am new to the Easter Egg aspect of The Finals... Is there a wiki page or something similar with all the findings? Or a post with open points? Thank you
I'd suggest starting at #egg-hunt-onboarding
welcome here!
I would recommend to start reading #egg-hunt-onboarding
After that its always helpful to read the pinned messages.
Most findings are also in the Threads.
And getting yourself a big pot of coffee 👀
I just say 399 pages google document 😄
Oh, thank you! I am also quite new with discord, I must have not seen the topic
You guys ever figure out what exactly ospuze is?
Well, if they map to the front side of the moon, then you could try doing something with the skyway red moon
Like is ospuze supposed to be some virtual deity that keeps people trapped in the game or something?
It's all power and no sugar

Yeah that was a lame answer, thought you guys might have some info on it but w/e
The best we got is the website
Other than that, not much is known
Rob does know the recipe to ospuze
There is some stuff hidden in the og trailer.
And scotty loves/is addicted to ospuze
Almost all Trailers and videos were dissected frame by frame and discussed.
I mean the lore thread has a bunch of posts, I'm not going to go through the whole thing.
I mean the question is more suitable for the lore channel.
To answer your question, we don't know much about OSPUZE.
Most of the things we know/found till now are added in the wiki.
Ok you just kind of just posted lore without context. I will go there for more info I guess. As they are hidden images seems like Easter egg would be the logical place to ask but I guess not.
Dont worry. I will dig this up everytime 😂
The best "lore" there is
Hidden Images are indeed related to Easter Eggs. And there are Easter eggs related to lore as mentioned here: #easter-eggs message
But we don't have much info on Ospuze brand yet.
Holtow came up a few times in the EE Hunt tho. But still are a mystery.
fantastic
I recommend everyone to go through the old eyes and other reactions we got from Rob. (Those can be checked in the Google sheet)
We have everything we need for level 3.
(Focus on Hunt / X)
Then it would more be regions of the sky, mars/moon and milky way don't make much sense together, at least from earth POV
But it's definitely an interesting idea, and the milky way part I do like
yeah i get what you mean
so idk if that been seen before but I just played a final round of kyoto at night and when I looked at the moon it would twinkle for a few seconds in certain spots and then stop. If i looked around for a bit and then looked at it again it would happen again
Interesting.
The moon does blink on kyoto, i posted about it before but it turns out it’s a different location than the other blinks on other maps
Has anyone seen similar effect on SYS? Look far away, in the middle of the road. https://youtu.be/bjFCn5kn82Y
Super large rendering of coins falling from a dead player? Blocks doesn't fall that way, right? Seems to fall right on the "sound making" block in the middle of the road.
Maybe it was just because the coins fell from height so they had a chance to spread out?
Rendering seems super large, but maybe because of FSR. Most likely...

we were given nine psw pages for level 3 and there were nine ❌s in level 2...
It’s not called the hunt for no reason… and come on you have seen this ❌ for a LONG time…
(and yes it is a very obvious connection here…)
surely someone has mentioned this already?
not yet. no 😅
But you have a good point that L2 also had 9 X
Lol, I was mostly focused on Level 1 with ocb, galileo and geocache
what if the locations are coordinates for areas covered by specific medium wave transmitters
the passwords could be the frequency that they operate
something about the dolphins swimming clockwise, and apparently needing social influence to swim the other direction gives me an idea of possibly running counterclockwise or something?
alternatively, rob says its written in the opposite, so maybe on the sunrise version of sys the letters are different?
also where did we get the building numbers from
from the numbers on the buildings...
like the big floating text that says like "Libarary_2" or whatever
ah okay
still on the topic of being written in opposite
possible that something is on the exact opposite side of that building?
what about the big glitchy CNS billboard? It flashes some other text, could that perhaps pertain to this?
nevermind its literally an opsuze ad lmao
someone try the sushi cutter emote or something i think that might work maybe
any idea why holtow.com is still hacked??
they don't have network security team
massive virtual insurance company that sponsors the biggest gameshow on the planet and they dont have network security 😭
In season 2 trailer CAN YOU REACH THE FINALS is faster than in season 1 trailer. And it is even faster on season 3 trailer. It might just be to adjust to the music but it's something I noticed
something similar https://imgur.com/a/looks-similar-yVuzbTI
yes
dayum
oh wait to unlock level 3 or the level 3 password
tfee level 3 password
but either way that is extremely cool
i was thinking the code would be the names spelled out from the wr, dolphins and monkeys
good thing we found it :)
another thing, i really want to talk to rob about how to make puzzles lmao
im working on an event so i just want to know how i can make puzzles for people like the ones here
Look at Ludo’s giant spider-web of connections lol that should inspire you.
I wonder if Pluto Time is somewhere on Rob's board https://science.nasa.gov/dwarf-planets/pluto/plutotime/
At over 2000 entities on his board? probably it is somewhere on it 😂
The park is called Humlegården and there’s a statue there of Carl Linnaeus. I remember I looked that up at the time it was mentioned
Thank you @pure loom, I remembered it thanks to you haha
yea i am the OP 😄
Did anybody noticed some rooms on SYS where there is nothing in them but when you drop some object on the floor it breaks some layer like invisible glass in them, maybe some trigger on EE?
Last we've heard it was over 6k or even 7k
Oh wait no am wrong
It's only 2300 wtf
Damn it's not THAT big then
yes. you even said that some days ago. That we only have 1/4 on the board compared to robs
I think I said 6k, I had that in mind for a bit lol
That's pretty motivating tho, I know what other big theme there is to link...
stop it. take yourself a pause of a week or something. 😂
I know when you already have another big theme then you will work on that again
I am on a break already, haven't done any reasearch in a couple of days
lvl3 activation kinda broke me a bit inside lol
wrong chat
Shit ._.
Has somebody written down all the coords yet?
hey yall, I know that this probably isn't very smart, but imma give my two cents
if we look at all the hints linking to moons and astronomy, and also references to elvis, bowie, etc, I get rock (:
lunar rocks?
idk, maybe im stupid
did someone from here discover this?
yes.
This isnt new, was found a while ago 😅 you can see it in 2021 or something on the Wayback Machine... on the Arc website
Thanks for sharing though 
We know think they are the same universe and there is a lot of the same logos in both too 
same universe too :0
shit man i missed out a lot of things
i think it isn't confirmed yet
Well can't blame you. You've been enjoying volpe tech
Yeah, @cold heart has it been confirmed or only speculated?
I wouldnt even know how to find that... ill try and think - it probably isnt confirmed confirmed
But im pretty sure that most people are under that impression
best out there
The logo overlap though has technically existed since TF S1/beta i think?
I'm also like 80% sure it's the same universe, just wondering if it's ever outright been confirmed
Yeah - ig so
if the same companies sponsor the finals and manufacture things in arc that means they're at least in the same universe or share something
have never seen an interesting game story since fnaf, i love the finals
even though this technically isn’t outright confirmation… it basically is (on top of all the preexisting evidence)… and honestly might have been one of rob’s biggest slip-ups yet 🤭
oh true, good memory
so yeah i think that the games are not only in the same universe but also happening at the same time
(SPEAR didn’t believe…)
We know Rob likes to "reveal" THE FINALS stuff but he never leaks Arc Raiders
I support moon theory, Artemis, goddess of the hunt, is the name of NASA's current moon missions
What if the finals is the threat behind ark raiders? Knowing absolutely nothing besides the fact that the Finals (the gameshow itself) is a sentient ai, and Ark is about a "mechanized threat"
Dissun is an energy company though, so idk
might be arc raiders happened before the finals
and after they defeated the threat or whatever is happening in arc raiders they made the finals
No lie, I had a similar thought, like what if it's a reverse matrix
The only problem is the finals takes place in 2100. Arc seems further into the future than that
wait how do we know
The wiki
dude i shouldn't be throwing anything here i don't know a lot of things lol
ranking up takes 12 hours of my day but i love EE hunting
Lol bro gotta start somewheres
Has anyone wondered if MW stands for Megawatts. Dissun, energy, megawatts.
The moon also has helium 3 which scientists hope to use for nuclear fusion
Yeah, I don’t either.
I thought of it but didn't think it would make sense in what we would be looking for tbh
Imma be honest, I just let my adhd go wild when new EE updates, I'm not sure what we are looking for here lol
😮
I mean we could be wrong. There’s a first time for everything 
we'll have to wait till the arc beta i guess
I hope that’s what we get at Gamescom (straying into off-topic here)
The finals will be on gamescom ?
~~ Embark will be at Gamescom - yes ~~
to be exact: arc raiders will get updates at gamescom.
I still suspect gamescom opening night.
But hope that they also have a booth on site
can we excpect a teaser for season 4?
we cant except anything The Finals, like Samras said:
... the only thing thats confirmed is "updates" about ARC
Only Nexon are attending, not Embark. So probably just a trailer or similar
yeah idk why we would get finals updates there but who knows
I’d say Nexon will be there for The First Descendant
I'm expecting a trailer or some game footage or something like a short play through
There may be an announcement for a open/closed beta but I don't think so at the moment
However I hope I am wrong
most likely there will be a closed beta
i have no idea if this is valid or not, but the logo behind it looks quite a lot like dissun's logo
https://arc-raiders.fandom.com/wiki/RollerBot idk if this is valid as its fandom.com and they're a bit weird
that’s an image that appeared on the official website way over a year ago. it’s since been removed so idk if we can expect rollerbots to make it into the final game and the logo could be old or reused but we won’t know for sure until arc raiders gameplay goes public
yes i agree, very cryptic and weird, “energy” is pretty vague
have you seen the background for the master circuit? its dissun themed but it kinda looks like little glass containers with nothing in them
that doesnt scream "energy" very much
no one will know that volpe is the real evil until they announce :3
idk why but i feel like volpe has something
but no doubt they have the best tech
i enjoy them
i feel like almost all the sponsors are nefarious
there's multico, maybe they are alljust the same thing
just thought of something, a few gadgets/specializations are missing levels. Has to be for a reason or is that too far fetched?
Maybe, but why they did epic rarity for 6 level, but for 7 and 8 only rare
that probably has to do with the skin design but idk. I think the missing levels for some gadgets/specializations could mean something though
I feel like cns is an ospuze marketing thing
It's like a circuit board or something
I was convinced it’s the opposite
CNS are anti-Ospuze
But then how would they hack the finals in 90 days then?? I’d ecpext at least a year with coffee 😴🥱
Idk maybe Vaiiya isn’t as good as they think they are 😱😤😏💀🙌🏻
How dare you underestimate VAIIYA! (But I kinda agree) but still!
i mean on a serious note with CNS and Ospuze... Ospuze is the only advertisement on SYS
so there is probably something there - but i dont get into lore
It’s just full of corruption, from those cns guys. Ugg
CNS more like
CN-BeSt haha amirite
eeuh, little question, did someone saw a 2d sprite for a floppy disk on kyoto ? especially after destroying a tree ? it's possible that I'm just insane and saw something that didn't exist.
Maybe you have an emoticon that looks like that and you triggered it by accident?
It could be a thing tho, there are small little details like that here and there
maybe, i didnt have steam auto record thing but it's wierd, it was a tree in the conner of the map.
it was this conner, there is like a single tree, it was in cashout 2pm sunny moving platform and there was a cashout station active in the house nearby.
i just hope its not me.
i try getting a friend to see
HUH????
I JUST GOT A MULTICO FILE
IT JUST APPEARED AND DISAPPEARED OUT OF THIN AIR
have I missed something??
it was light blue and white
what the actual
it looked like this
and had "MuCo" scribbled where there was text on the actual document
ITS LITERALLY THIS ONE
wait can someone join a priv lobby with me
I just got matched in WT
I can make an alt and join on my laptop?
I already have finals installed
If you cant find anyone else before im done
I have to win this match gimme a sec
Hehe looks like you found something!
lmaoo I'm so upset
I thought I really found something 😭
and I post it, then I scroll 5 messages up
and someone found it COMPLETELY INDEPENDENTLY 1 hour ago 😭
Does anyone have a link to the kyoto thread?
I left it a while ago and cant find it anymore
Guessing its random, This tree didnt have anything this time
Just destroyed the same tree and nothing..
neither did this one
maybe time of day mattered?
what was your TOD?
"Look for the disc" as mentioned in S3 credits?
or is not enabled in private matches
"missing disc"
I swear, btw, that the disc had the number "2" on it
Could be
but I might be misremembering, it was a pixelly scribble
could be another activatable EE like dolphin charm
normalize having clipping software open at all times
we should gather 9 players and experiment on OCE server again
Yeah but what was the TOD?
Based on the picture id say night
@queen stone do you remember what was time of day and variant of Kyoto?
yeah they mentioned it
Yes
...
Is that this tree?
Cause when I destroyed it nothing came out
2pm sunny moving platform
I think its just not active in private matches
We destroyed basically all the trees in the map
Yeah im gonna try normal PS
separate lobbies then, better odds
Oh sure
i think is this one. There was a active cashout station is the house nearby.
I'm just going to go to the same tree over and over
guys i cant send videos but i think i found some sort of lines when you click on a game mode and it starts searching, i modified the video so that they are more visible, can i send the video to someone that can post videos here? maybe they are only some errors in the game but it seems like some sort of code
for kyoto
two spots
2 second or 3 ? Its leave quick but it's not instantly
i tried to upload the video on imgur [https://imgur.com/a/DMsa5RN]
I keep getting put in the same seoul match
Im gonna try switching modes
Ok finally kyoto
I'll just repurpose the stump arrows thread to a stump ee thread https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1252315342328565760
Didnt spawn for me
At both trees
So then it probably is random
Did it come out of the base of the tree? or the part where you shot it
Nicee
Nice
interesting how that's on the side of the map where the other stump arrow points
number 22

Monkey Island - The famous Stump Joke
there was three of them
one of? name the others!
22, 36, 114
👍
Ok im off for work, i’ll drop in here and there to see the progress
Yeepie! I am not insane!
Nice find!
nice!!
@rob
I think that's the same disc image that I found. but in a different spot.. why is it like this?
There’s more than 3 stump arrows right? Maybe it’s randomized among them?
Unless there is 3 stump arrows
volpe ?
what is this??
seems to be an M. before
I thought it was Multico
but doesn't seem so
Who wants to hop into a priv lobby? just need one person
its the volpe logo, just pixelated
I think the last animation means you collected the disk
Yeah it's totally Volpe!
it did the same for me.. so does that mean I can't see it again? 😭
Maybe we should collect the three disks and go to stump
Ahhh
I'm just wondering if you can pick them up with F or if touching them does something
too bad I'll be gone for a bit before I can actually try anything
i'm down
They just floated into me
Code: REUA
That's awesome
@jade citrus
Didnt cns get in through volpe’s jumppads or something?
Volpe
haha noo not like that
still, "Volpe's VR tech"
I wanna join
I thought they said that in the lore animations
Yeah that
but nothing about jumppads
Im not sure what else volpe produces for the finals. All i know is the jumppads. Maybe something in the meatspace?
Does it trigger every time, or is it a rare thing like the chicken door?
Spear! missed you! some bits of lore incoming hehe
i was just gonna say that this ties to MultiCo more than Volpe imo
Its probably rare. I spent an entire powershift match destroying trees and got nothing
Interesting
Ok so now the plan is to collect the disk(s) and go to the stump?
or CNS in any case, didn't we have a "SYS$Horizon" disk as well as a cosmetic?
Yes on the model skin
Is it possible we are missing a stump arrow then?
Since monkey island has 3 discs
There are tree stumps with what looks like arrows in them
It does say Volpe on the disc
it's a Volpe-made one
no i know, i just mean the overall aesthetic
Ohh yeah
retro, too
Maybe we can find cns discs
so, it's like find 3 floopy disk and something stumps ?
It does look like it has place for a floppy disk
eeuh
- Search for other disks
- Go to the stump and try triggering
maybe we just need disc 22
just the one, so please go to the stump after you get 1 disc
@sleek trout btw did you pick that tree at random?
i can join someone in private
lets compare the two trees
got 22 in a different spot
yes
There's one already on with fish and smashel in
on the wiki
im in
thanks
so just tree demolition ?
Deforestation 🗣️ 🔥
right word
It's on
yep
WAIT did you go to the stump??
the one which requires the disc
please continue the lobby discussion in #1217498821563514951
just realized the #22 floppy disk is upside down 
no i didnt see that in time
Really close to eachother
Indestructible
check every stump
"Insert Disk 22 and Press Button to Continue"
what could be the button
Can I join in?
Interact?
@sharp flame i got a disc
Or theres a button somewhere on kyoto?
Where? post
ima look for more
Why are the walls red for u
did you visit both stumps? @jade citrus
hes playing WT
ah
He is gold 1 or higher. Then all maps become red instead of yellow.
Interesting
we should try same trees to check whether they are random
yeah but nothing, even tried interacting
When you reach gold 1, the yellow color changes to red.
is there an emote maybe that involves pressing abutton?
Easter eggs dont have items required to do them
right, sorry
paid*
Also no free items right? Cause that means that some people cant do them if they start to play the game later
But there are also limited time EEs.
maybe night variations??
We've only found one per match, right?
i think
yeah
ah
Yeah thats true, i guess we can find an item linked to it but I dont think there is
1 per player?
but did the same person find 2?
is there a disc thread
how do you even find these things
"Fuck around and find out"
playing the game and thought you are going insane cause you saw a floppy disc when you die.
fair enough. is this your only dicovery so far?
We've dound other things
i dunno really. this channel can be more confusing as house of leaves
Can we start mapping the tree locations?
whats happening rn? there was discs found on Kyoto?
wow I missed a looot
Have hours of free time and look at pixels to find more pixels
you the real g! one of these days imma try to get into that stuff
also, sorry
LOLL don't apologise
I'll try harder to find a new EE in the future 
There are still activated ee that havent been found
i saw a floppy disk when a tree explode, thought i was insane expect it wasn't.
and raised alarms + chaos inside the EE hunters for a second 😂
The guy went to the moon to check the L3 locations
https://www.vxreddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1epn26v/yeah_i_dont_think_ill_go_for_that_revive/
bruh
He'll be back soon
pulled too many Gs
did he find anything?
🤔
looks like a metal beam clipping through the wall
it was flat and glowing
you're talking about the red dot?
that's just decor (you can see it in other spots in the background)
yeah
it was somewhat out of place
Created https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Kyoto_Secrets, not sure if I missed any.
Too early,there are 40 days until the new season starts
Im think Embark going to add it in the new tour stop
Next Season leaks usually appear 3-2 weeks before the next season. And they usually get posted by cns on the r/cns subreddit.
There could also be leaks hidden in trailers of THE FINALS which we haven't found yet
I dont know what EE this would relate to but:
Some hunters have already brought up the idea of the Three Trials being relevant to the hunt.
Rob hints these trials in this message #1211002564015824906 message
the "sword" hinting the first trial
X (marks the spot) hinting the third trial
Rob also hints "sets of 3" in many messages
The first trial you need to win a duel with Clara the sword master and bring back proof. (In the game sword fighting is done by insulting each other)
The second trial you need to steal an idol from the govenors mansion. (Related to the mansion on skyway?)
The third and final trial the player is needed to find a legendary and lost treasure of melee island (bear in mind melee island is related to the https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1252315342328565760) this treasure was buried under a giant X ❌, for the player to find this they needed to follow directions using a treasure map (which was a dance routine).
(sorry for the long paragraph, I also cant embed the links to the wiki pages)
(Keep in mind these Three Trials are only to award the player to be a true pirate)
Bruh
I've seen this before. It's just a light.
@hasty cypress you can also post your findings via imgur here in this channel.
Please ellaborate whats so interesting about this 2 images 🙂 can't get it
ahhh. related to your Paragraph?
Right thank you
To ellaborate, the cross on the coordinate map is very similar to the cross indicated on the third clue
found triggable Easter-Eggs (#easter-eggs message) :
SEOUL --> not found (possible helipad)
SKYWAY --> not found
MONACO --> not found
LAS VEGAS --> not found
SYS$HORIZON --> Dolphin? Dolphin Charm?
KYOTO --> not found (possible tree stump)
Monaco is probably the cannons, yeah?
Yes, actually kyoto has a pretty funny one, I looking forward to see who finds that one, almost a personal favorite... I think some of you will understand why hen you find it... ._.
pretty convinced this is the MI missing disk/ "stumped" EE for Kyoto
shouldnt cannons be deactivated since S2?
Or everyone of us always misinterpreted it. And the deactivated EE with S2 was the menu EE that then activated the Legendary charm and not the canons. who knows
very possible. as he always likes MI things
reminding of this in regard: #easter-eggs message
so this then might be a "nerdy clue" as rob named it for the Kyoto interactive EE?
#easter-eggs message
oh, i had forgot about his comment after that for that image - thanks 
me too! I haven't noticed that this 2 had a connection. But after re-reading it again. yes.
it connects. so it really might be kyoto
Right so the nerdy honey gif is connected to Kyoto?
we can only assume aslong as it is not confirmed. but yes. But i am confident it might be really kyoto.
But it could also be for the dolphin charm. As Dolphin Charm is also one of robs favourites.
possible
my friend said there was an easter egg that unlocks a dolphin charm, nobody has found it yet?
We haven't found how to trigger it yet D:
#1243224234675802135
we know:
- It exists
- It's on SYS$HORIZON
- It needs to be a public lobby.
- not tested from dev but a Light "probably" can do it solo
did i missed something important in my list? what we know is a "true" statement?
We don't really know if this one is in SYSHORIZON. But this comes from CNS:
#easter-eggs message
A hint has potentially been added to release 3.8:
#⚡┇the-finals-chat message
#1201288968562552863 message
these are no "true" statement. but just clues.
3.8 is an info that there might be something as hint in 3.8. Not a true statement.
I just listed things that are 100% are known.
I think rob might have said something when it wouldnt be SYS. Because he still hopes we solve the charm
We also have these song titles to analyze
#easter-eggs message
Do we have more recent research? (I will add them to the dolphin site)
careful. as of now nothing is confirmed that they have meanings for the dolphins. Yes, they could. but everything not confirmed we need to keep an eye on
hey! has anyone got an image or flowchart of the layout of the ee hunt? or is there one on the miro board? thanks
I think theres one build into the miro already
which you mean flow chart?
https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596829408319&cot=14
link for future reference (to the flowchart)
what exactly. only the Levels & tiers? or something different?
like this is what i was thinking
please try to only share https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14 as link to miro. As this directly links to the overview of it 🙂
will do, is there any chance we can get a button on the "Board Overview" that brings you to the flowchart(s) though?
quick & dirty
also fits great into #1236059248820093010
omg this is perfect, thank you so much
If it only were that easy..
haha I didn't have it open, but just posted
maybe I should save that project. Just did it really quickly noww.
a lot of things how they got from 1 level to each other is "The Finals Easter Egg document" the 399 Pages 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/
if it's not too much work, adding the "subsections" like as an example for tfeeactivationlvl3 you'd have "WRs" "3HMs" and "Dolphins" would be great
@fresh quiver so I don't know if you guys noticed this an maybe I'm thinking too much an probably super off track but... game an if a LIGHT can "POSSIBLY" trigger the Easter egg solo to get the charm.
7 people to activate easter egg in private match
7/12 = roughly 60 % (58.33)
12minutes out of 20= 60% (game of quick cash)
what's above the parts of pulsating ground (walkways that help you go from building to building that are coincidentally located right above the waves)
Dolphins work in a team to "circle a shoal, create a bait ball then a quick swim through bets a good meal"
My conclusion
It's a game of oddball. Hold on the the vault for at least 60 percent of the game an allow your team to get kills in the center of the map a minimum of 7 different people in the lobby which is everyone in the lobby assuming it's a game of quick cash.
try to take some keywords and search them in the search bar. to filter it only for the easter-egg channel (all threads included) just use in:easter-eggs I think some things was also talked about. like what dolphins would do, tried things with the waves etc. If I remember myself correct!
yes. the "possibly" is because rob himself hasnt tested if it works solo as a light. but when a class could do it solo. then Light.
more infos are also found in #1243224234675802135
He's also explicitly told us to pay attention to the movement of the dolphins. Said to someone during twitchcon iirc?
was it to @opal pond. but good reminder!
Yeah I need to continue and add all the findings to the big node ball
Can't seem to find any history of anyone mentioning this:
I recently changed my sound settings so my music is maxed but all my other sounds are lower. I've noticed that the music on SYSHORIZON is different near/inside some of the buildings, and kinda sounds like dolphin sounds. Can anyone else confirm?
I think the sounds have indeed been lifted and discussed a few times before. Here are some links to examples of these discussions #1243224234675802135 message #1243224234675802135 message #1243224234675802135 message #1243224234675802135 message
He pretty much confirmed to @opal pond that Light can do it. And yes, motion of the dolphin (not sure if it was plural or not)
Yeah @empty plaza did some extensive stuff on the audio, more specifically the art gallery audio.
Yeah he did a wave with his arm
It seemed like he wanted to tell more but didnt
So its probably really really simple
and we are all just looking at the wrong things lol
Here is a recording of the audio I got inside I posted on YouTube
(This is my alt, now abandoned/rebranded)
https://youtu.be/OyssBhQLKp0
While Easter Egg hunting, I thought I'd record this wonderful glitchy track
I noticed back then the audio sorta comes in and out
Thank you
I found a number on a tree in kyoto
Wha
send me a DM, ill post it on your behalf
(you need to be a higher level to post images)
Man... the Dolphin Charm EE thread is popping off today. We've got some ideas, but MAN are we still trying... this is exhausting
Color waves makes a ton of sense to be fair 🐬
