easter-eggs

[velvet narwhal]

you could use imgur

[quiet crown]

Maybe those boards that have a labyrinth and a marble and you're meant to tilt the board so the marble rolls inside until you can get it to the hole

[opaque juniper]

ye send it to me

[opaque ivy]

sent

[opaque juniper]

iirc it says hello, could be getting it mixed up with kyoto tho, i think its been mentioned before but not sure if anything came of it (Credit: to moth who i cant tag because im dumb)

[unkempt dune]

Yooo, you're so right!

and you if you rotate the picture I sent.. the black portion has a curve that would be used for the ball to go up into the air

skee ball is also found at arcades, which is a really great connection in the terms of the hunt

[opaque juniper]

either that or pinball which is more arcade-y

if the black part could be seen as a flipper without rotating it, but i see what you were saying too with like the little ramp

[unkempt dune]

even if it's not the intended interpretation, it's still a really good idea

[opaque juniper]

true true, you and ludo’s miro boards would be nearly 1TB by this point 😭😂

ive enjoyed the past 9-10 months of watching you all solve things ❤️

[unkempt dune]

It's very possible! I should look into how they make their boards for those things.

don't some of them have holes for the ball to drop into?

lol, it very well could spell that

would fit with bro drones too

[opaque juniper]

rob has an evil brother called bor, bor is cns

[unkempt dune]

You know, I've seen this multiple times but I never bothered actually looking into it

Does anyone know the year for Seoul?

I think it's 2023..

so I think the sign says 초화정 (not sure about the last character, would be nice to have confirmation from some who knows Korean)... at least according to Google Lens.

[keen ravine]

its 2023 ye

[unkempt dune]

When searching for this (looks like a name), you'll see a result for:

An actor named Choi Hwa-jeong who was born on 10 February 1961 in South Korea

[opaque juniper]

credit again to moth ^^^^

[opaque ivy]

yeah the reson i thought it might have significance is because the whole new bundle is based off of these power boxes

like 1:1

[unkempt dune]

yeah, and there's a ton of fire-related references

fire exits, fire hydrants, fire alarms, ect.

[opaque ivy]

well when you shoot them aff the wall it shows electricity and the bundle has a dissun battery theme

which shows how those power boxes are definetely dissun

[unkempt dune]

So for Seoul 2023 she would have been either 61 or 62 years old depending on the date.

Without worrying about the date, she'd be 62 years old. If you convert those to letters using leet speak.. you get GS

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GS_Group

Old name looks to be Lucky Goldstar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky-Goldstar

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

[unkempt dune]

I'd say that these companies fit well with Dissun, but I can't parse what's significant besides electronics

and lucky goldstar

maybe it's just that.. electronics are the lucky goldstar

GoldStar Precision was a division manufacturing electronic test equipment such as multi-meters and oscilloscopes and industrial electronics.

oscilloscopes mentioned

[opaque ivy]

yeah it might just be that

[unkempt dune]

oscilloscopes can be used for hearts:

Special-purpose oscilloscopes may be used to analyze an automotive ignition system or to display the waveform of the heartbeat as an electrocardiogram, for instance.

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

that's probably important to know

wait, we do have devices in Seoul 2023 at the hospital buildings that could connect to this

[opaque ivy]

im pretty sure there are some peices of medical equipment there

not sure which ones can be interacted with

but considering the new skins look like thos boxes you could use any of them to interact

[unkempt dune]

when printed out, the results look similar to the coincidences that Jocelyn Bell (sorry if I messed up her name) observed

[opaque ivy]

on one of the skins there are numbers that look similiar

one sec let me boot it up

[unkempt dune]

RA (like Ra) is an electrode name.. it's for the Right Arm

very interesting diagrams with - and +

plus triangles alongside a T-pose

looks like there's names associated with the wave patterns

[opaque ivy]

who is jocelyn bell

[unkempt dune]

someone who was mentioned/referenced at the start of Level 3 and the end of Level 2

I already forgot what she observed, but she observed something along the lines of a pulsar I think..?

but she noticed some "coincidences" which led to a discovery which I do not remember at the moment

[opaque ivy]

that page does look quite similiar

the bottom readings

[unkempt dune]

those "coincidences" were observed through the readings

[hard forge]

all this connections

and yet

no real progress

which makes me think

[eternal violet]

people trying to solve level 5 already

[cold heart]

about? 🤔

[hard forge]

that we are missing something major sitting right infront of our eyes

[dull marsh]

Last time with @solid jay we were going from Eyes anatomy/function into the territory of dreams which seemed to make a lot of sense imo

The eye muscles seemed particularly interesting: SR, LR, IR, IO, MR and SO

[velvet narwhal]

OYE

[dull marsh]

That would connect pretty well with eye movement, into REM which is the dream phase of sleep

Also when I was presenting my egypt/Elvis stuff back then, Rob jumped in to say "Dream stele" specifically

He also always say "get some rest", "sleep well", "sweet dreams", etc.

So I really think dreams/sleep/eyes are a very interesting area to explore right now

Owls (0v0, Minerva) are also related to night and vision

[solid jay]

Third eye, golden ratio, sacred geometry all could be related

Lucid dreaming as well

[dull marsh]

And night vision is achieved with rod cells, rod relating to obelisks to some extent, to "I" 🤔

[cold heart]

something something... droopy eyes when youre sleepy and keeping your eyes open - or keeping one eye open

[dull marsh]

And astronomy, looking at stars, involve night vision too

[hard forge]

Well, there are some norse hints, cluse and theme in the current EE-level... ._.

#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

[unkempt dune]

#easter-eggs message
related to Skyway's red moon

Yes the longer time you let me work on Level 3 before you start, the harder it will become, hehe

b0kb: walk in the park huh
Rob: Yes, but not compared to Level 3... ._.

[unkempt dune]

he can optimize where he hides stuff with the clues he's given

[dull marsh]

The other day I suggested that since Rob keeps talking about us being "Rockstars" maybe the "rockstar" is "novaculi", as it's a rock that literally contains "star" (nova) in its name.

[unkempt dune]

the longer he's given to think about the clues and the solution, he can change stuff and it'll still make sense.. but be harder since you need certain connections to be made (potentially really obscure connections)

[dull marsh]

This stone is used for sharpening stuff, aka RAZORs

And since this whole hunt is very centered around scientific progress, I stumbled onto Occam's razor, which was first mentioned in latin as novacula Occami

Occam's razor is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.

Go was eyed when L3 was activated

[unkempt dune]

mhm

go in-game and find them

that's all the page says pretty much

[hard forge]

and then he said

feels like 840
Now it starts for real… this is when the hunt starts.! So proud of you.!

[dull marsh]

If it was that surface-level it wouldn't have been eyed imo

[hard forge]

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…)

[unkempt dune]

well, you can definitely make more connections to the hunt from "Go"

but the page itself is really a big way of saying go in-game imo

it's the starting point

ready, set, go

[dull marsh]

About level 3 he keeps talking about:

• hard (maybe about rocks, diamonds, etc.)
• real (imaginary, royal)
• dreams

He also insisted about:

• rockstars
• Minerva

[unkempt dune]

X marks the spot for treasure

X marks the spot for a geocache

X marks the spot for an easter egg

lvl 1 : go

we start twice

here we goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[unkempt dune]

it's a restart

ahhhh

SYS 64738

I must say that I'm a bit proud of you guys... when I wrote "SYS 64738" on my miro board when I was planning this EE-hunt over two years ago I thought "OK, this is a bit far fetched... I wonder if anyone will get this..." #1204573219894468648 message

you press the power button of a computer to turn it on

you press it again to restart it

[dull marsh]

0 = sleep and 1 = wake, could connect to sleep and circadian cycle

[hard forge]

he did change 84 to 840

[unkempt dune]

SYS 64738 isn't a normal restart though

you restart your computer and keep memory (RAM)

like how we keep our memory of Level 1 and Level 2

[hard forge]

Only ONE little tier left, then the real hunt begins and we are ready to wrap this first little EE-hunt… Thank you for being part of this little adventure.!

[unkempt dune]

the real in-game hunt

[eternal violet]

the irl hunt

[unkempt dune]

well.. it's IRL

Ireland

which goes back to Seoul.. which sounds like soul.. which is associated with the heart

you could say "the heart hunt"

[dull marsh]

But we can make thousands of connections like that...

[unkempt dune]

exactly

you need to deduce which one is the right one

[dull marsh]

We know that when it's the right stuff it looks OBVIOUS as fuck

Because it was designed as such

When you have dozens of direct connections then it's pretty solid

[unkempt dune]

as you gather connections, you'll see the common thread

because you're looking for stuff in-game

[dull marsh]

Just jumping from one idea to another to another to another is a potential obscure connection at best

Yes but the common stuff is central, that's the entire point

[hard forge]

cicada would be a walk, ok easier than a walk in the park for you guys
and

well, cicada is really, and I mean really a walk in the park compared to what we are doing...

[dull marsh]

Many clues will all lead to only a handful of ideas

[unkempt dune]

2 appears constantly

why..? not sure yet

[eternal violet]

common number

[unkempt dune]

a double-life maybe

[dull marsh]

The "walk in the park" comment still haunts me, I'm 100% sure there is more undiscovered meaning behind it

[hard forge]

thinking that l3 is not walk in the part, like literally, its a hunt with co-ordinates

i am also thinking that rob might have used more cyphers in lvl 3

[dull marsh]

I agree

[unkempt dune]

or just the concept of black and white

binary stuff

[dull marsh]

Although I believe he mostly sticks with basic ciphers for most of the clues (except the most obscure ones or very big clues)

[hard forge]

i have nothing more to add and no connection to make.
calling out all hunters to help solve the co-ordinates.

[dull marsh]

I mean yeah binary whatever has been a clue multiple times in the hunt already, and some stuff being related to computers easily lead to binary 1/0

[unkempt dune]

yeah, but "this" and "that" is a big concept in life

it's not just binary alone

[eternal violet]

why would coordinates be a clue if those are exact same for all three areas?

[hard forge]

we have 2 sets of coordinates, one from the i want to nama image and 5 from the lvl 3 page

[dull marsh]

There are multiple assumptions that are worth questioning, since it hasn't led to anything:

• Maybe we have found the locations but haven't found their "meaning" (could be about altitude, biome, country, etc.)
• Maybe those are not earth coordinates (we've looked at the moon, I checked a bit Mercury and Mars without success)
• Maybe those are not coordinates for a celestial body (could be about angles, coordinates on an image)
• Maybe they are not coordinates at all and can be used as numbers to find something else

By default I would assume that they "lead" to coordinates, but aren't necessarily the coordinates themselves 🤔

[hard forge]

@eternal violet this is what i am talking about..

[hard forge]

not talking about coordinated we got from l3 counter page, but the 1 we got from "i_want_to" nama

[dull marsh]

I see, since that was the first image from Level 3 it would make sense for it to be "enough" to solve the whole level, so those coordinates are probably the actual location we are looking for

[hard forge]

but i do agree with this

[solid jay]

Rods are how our eyes interpret color if I'm not mistaken?

[dull marsh]

Nope, cones (S, M and L) are for colors

[solid jay]

So it's basically like going to sleep?

[solid jay]

Cones right thank you. Still early for me here.

[unkempt dune]

yeah, similar to modern day computers going to sleep

[hard forge]

wdym by 3 areas

[unkempt dune]

and how we humans sleep and keep our memory

[eternal violet]

mw.area#1, #2 and #3

[hard forge]

ohh..no I was not talking about those.

[eternal violet]

yea i get it now, was just hard to understand initially because you just said coordinates and theres lots of those in the board

[solid jay]

Yes exactly. So if our eyes have been closed and we are asleep which suggests simulation, VR if we open our eyes our memory returns.

Also and a bit of a reach here flip 1 90⁰ and flip 0 90⁰ you get what would approximately look like an eye that is closed and open.

[dull marsh]

- O (IO rotated) looks like a Cetacean sleeping (with 1 eye opened)

[solid jay]

Yup

[hard forge]

wtf

[dull marsh]

Still funny that Rob posted the Sparrow drawing by Picasso in the Dolphin thread, when birds can also sleep similarily with only 1 eye opened

And I strongly believe that OvO relates to OXO (first ever videogame with GUI) and that O = eye and X = optic nerve chiasm

As the chiasm explains why cetaceans and birds sleep with one half of their brain, while the eye on the other side is the one staying open

And in S4 BP I spotted a cosmetic called Tick-Tock Tactician = Tic-Tac-Toe?

OXO game being Tic-Tac-Toe in the first place

[hard forge]

wdym?

[dull marsh]

Now just imagine this but with a dolphin

[unkempt dune]

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

[hard forge]

yes. this can be reached through Black knight conspiracy theory too but rob said to focus on black knight part

[dull marsh]

Yeah I posted about that the other day, it connects to pyramids, the pyramid has 13 layers, triangle represents trinity, this symbol is connected to freemasons which relates to Baphomet and metal music

[unkempt dune]

this is US-related

back to Las Vegas and other coordinates with XXX

the coordinates basically are for the Western part of the US

like Eastwood Casino

which is named after Clint Eastwood

West and East are opposites

like binary

[hard forge]

well look at the thumbnail for wiki article of conspiracy theories

[unkempt dune]

oh I know

that's a connection too

I'm talking about connections in-game

the black knight, a conspiracy, showed up in Season 1 too

we have a ton of conspiracy stuff for Season 1's battlepass

why ALIEN stuff though?

the word originates from alius

like "alias"

[dull marsh]

Alien stuff relates (to some extent) to WOW! Signal which is 1 day away from Elvis's death

[unkempt dune]

When you go undercover, you use an alias. Like Saint Rob

[dull marsh]

And Area 51 (famous for alien conspiracy theories) is not very far from Las Vegas

[unkempt dune]

isn't WOW connected to Eastwood?

vaguely remember something about the casino

[hard forge]

basically the Media in 70s

S01 was 70s

the BP

[unkempt dune]

so what I'm hearing is that Las Vegas is a perfect spot for conspiracy theories

at least in the US

the Black Knight isn't associated with Las Vegas IRL, but it is related in-game because of the trailer

the Black Knight is in space for Level 3, to make that conspiracy connection

[dull marsh]

I see it more as Las Vegas in itself leads to stuff which is conspiracy theories, not necessarily the other way around

[unkempt dune]

that's okay, I just see is as theories are connected to Las Vegas and its easter eggs.. (and maybe even more because you know.. life)

[solid jay]

Touching on this OXO thing. The X could be seen as a closed eye as well. Opening it would add a third eye here.

Resulting in a win condition for the game of tic tac toe.

Which is yet another binary outcome.

[granite bough]

It's 5 hours ago and I know I'm answering too late, but it means fire hydrant

[solid jay]

Las Vegas, aliens and conspiracy theories all go hand in hand. Elvis Presley believed in aliens, going as far as claiming to have telepathically connected with one when a UFO was over Graceland.

Telepathy is yet another potential connection for third eye.

[unkempt dune]

His "alias" was John Burrows too.. and that alias connects to love and letters

[solid jay]

Oh and in the Marvel comics (which Elvis loved) he was made into a character that is actually an alien not human.

[solid jay]

Burrw gif

[unkempt dune]

mhm

[solid jay]

Very interesting this seems like a good track to follow

Have we tried applying those coordinates on the burrw gif?

[unkempt dune]

interesting idea

nope, we haven't

to my knowledge at least

[pure loom]

I just had a random idea where the hunt could lead to. This started with “geocache” right? Something hidden in an actual location. But a lot of the clues have related to things like light, mirrors, optics. What if we’re supposed to find a location and in that location Rob has uploaded an image to Google maps which has something hidden in it. That could be like a virtual geocache, which would fit well with THE FINALS’ themes.

This would also fit well with treasure maps and themes from The Secret of Monkey Island.

Anyone who just stumbled on the image in Google maps would be none the wiser because whatever is important in the image would be hidden like in the official art images.

[unkempt dune]

that's be really good and really tough

sounds like a fun idea

[velvet narwhal]

I could see rob doing something like that

[unkempt dune]

as funny as it may sound, as we speak, we could be giving him ideas as long as he sees/hears them

[pure loom]

So the hunt could point us to a location. And the diamond clues could point there directly. Then we’d need to find the image there. This doesn’t really help us now, but it might later.

[solid jay]

Right we would have to narrow the search area first and then we would be able to pinpoint something more exactly.

[pure loom]

Exactly. Interesting that Level 3 is starting to move to a map type password page.

[solid jay]

I like the virtual geocache angle as well but not sure if Google would have the image removed at any point?

[pure loom]

But it could just be an image of the actual location

Like if Rob had visited there

[solid jay]

Right. So as long as it's related it could be fine.

[pure loom]

Yeah

Like a photo of the colosseum for instance

[solid jay]

Also the scope seems to be becoming wider or going further back we have a picture of a map now and the black knight is in the atmosphere.

[pure loom]

It would kind of bring us full circle back to geocache and include all the clues

But all virtual

[solid jay]

Yes I think VR/simulation has to be tied in as it is a type of waking dream we experience from the first person perspective.

[velvet narwhal]

The location is gonna be robs farm

[unkempt dune]

I'm listening to a brief explanation of the Stockholm Syndrome story and gee.. I do think it's Las Vegas Casino Heist EE related

@solid jay you'd definitely be interested in one of the details involving an officer

[solid jay]

it may relate to someone we were just discussing

someone related to aliens

[solar glade]

ye we had spotted it in Seoul way back in S1 and then someone found it in Vegas as well. at first it reminded me of a TV station logo

[unkempt dune]

Hey guys, I think there's meaning in the Korean spelling alphabet

I need to go find the link again, but essentially an upside down Y is Seoul and II is pagoda

that could be important at some point.. and I have a reason why I think this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_spelling_alphabet

this one in one of the earlier trailers for a split second

the O from the korean character perfectly fits that holtow O

[unkempt dune]

I looked into what this could possibly say, but I couldn't figure it out (#easter-eggs message). This is as a far as I got with recreating the characters:

so this is the the first full glyph that is easily legible: 한

I don't know if the second one even exists, which could mean it's there for something different

the message could be as simple as Ring, Eye, Sun, ect.

brown eyed girl has the S on her eye.. and S looks like Z (this is leet speak)

why is the S in THE FINALS so important? because if it were Z.. the text ends with the last letter of the alphabet

it's just another emphasis on The End

I believe this one is for pointing at the Left arm and what's on it

as for why there's on an X on the Right side of the torso.. I don't know why

this one would be for THE F... maybe for focusing on F

but also, from this one, we can tell the logo is being projected in all of these.. and there's shadows being left behind

the shadow going on here could be an emphasis on a double life (similar to how cats have 9 lives)

an alter ego is very likely in my opinion

this one would be for HE... like "he did that" or it could be helium like balloons

[unkempt dune]

projected like how older movie theaters used projectors

the meaning behind this one is a bit more confusing

but it's a Light class stepping on a Cashbox with one foot. If anything, it's possible the FINALS logo is pointing towards the foot on the cashbox.

we do have a lot of references to shoes and shoelaces in-game already

I don't know why, but maybe there's a reason?

maybe it's a bow knot reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoelace_knot

we've had bow references in-game with charms and outside of the game with Holtow's CEO

The corset bow

Just as it is possible to stack a number of half hitches to create a longer knot – remembering the reverse direction each time – which is equivalent to tying one reef knot on top of another, so bows which need to reduce long lengths, such as corset tapes, can be tied on top of each other, slipping every other layer.

we've had a reef knot reference already #easter-eggs message

This was all a scheme to know if anyone here has seen my shorts in their feed but apparently not

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o8I3ampWDtQ

So this new sponsor is on the career lvl 61 to 69 cosmetics!

[storm horizon]

Guys, in s4 there will be level 9 of the weapons and gadgets?

[opal pond]

Yes

[storm horizon]

Top back katana, or bite, and it's medium cuz he is holding akm

[storm horizon]

Are there any images of it?

[unkempt dune]

the AK observation is good reasoning.. I called him a light because he's really small compared to the cashbox. Usually that's true for lights only

[storm horizon]

Cap with skull on it

[unkempt dune]

🔺 💀

[storm horizon]

It could also be basic furniture

[unkempt dune]

it's like the emoji game where you need to guess the meaning without words

wait, he's stepping on THE FINALS symbol, the one that looks like VV

you can tell based on the handles

[storm horizon]

Maybe he is pointing somewhere?

[unkempt dune]

he's smothering it

[storm horizon]

Maybe u need to find 2 of those guys, find their coordinates irl, draw lines on the map to where they are pointing , and find 3rd location(and idk what this give us)

[bright ruin]

Anyone point out that there's something on the skull?

[storm horizon]

Looks like cracks

My guesses are
Roman numerals
Or NY / NW

[unborn pilot]

hmm. looking back i don't think anyone solved this one, but the answer is most likely VIRGINIA

[unkempt dune]

how'd you end up with that if I may ask?

[unborn pilot]

110D631 in hex is 17880625. on June 25th 1788 Virginia became the 10th state

[naive kernel]

I did not see a new level skin for any item

[timid solstice]

hmm dread converted to that date but no connection, nice
#easter-eggs message

[opal pond]

They didnt show it during preview event, but they said there was more that they didnt show us so its extremely likely the level 9 skin is part of that

[naive kernel]

Ooh good to know, thanks! (And surely we're getting the white level 5 skins too )

The extra level skins were in the S3 preview but maybe they changed it up this time

[unborn pilot]

Yeah just saw that too. We were so close already :). I wonder if Virginia somehow = brown eyed girl too

[timid solstice]

VM , Virginia M ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_M._Alexander

[unborn pilot]

https://www.amazon.com/Brown-Eyed-Girl-Virginia-Swift/dp/006019555X

[rapid willow]

That image has binary on the left, translates to s/2006 s 2

Or at least that's what the translator gave me

[alpine junco]

I got the github page for it

[cold heart]

its not new-new, but its the first time we have had proper branded clothes with them and their name its nice

[unborn pilot]

Into The Mystic had Xth as a clue aka 10th…
Brown Eyed Girl before that has Virginia being 10th state so most likely relates both to “10th” something.

All I can think of is since that tier was named after Van Morrison songs. It points to their 10th album.

Wavelength

[unkempt dune]

well, I know of something with 10

that's related to VM.. it'd be 10 Hail Marys per decade/mystery

[unborn pilot]

Honestly I’d connect that more to Virginia and Virgin Mary.

This I feel like is the th for 10th repeats though. Like the 10th century, 10th moon, 10th something.

It most likely relates back to 0vif0rm for that tier but would be good to figure out how

[unkempt dune]

it could be TEN or the origin of ten that's important

[unkempt dune]

maybe we're really supposed to be checking out the origin/beginning/birth of certain topics.. and that's why the egg is so important to cracking this

THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Keep_It_Simple_2160x2880.png

for example, the term rock n' roll comes from boats

the up and down motion (porpoise) is for boats

the tail of a boat is a rudder.. and rudders are a part of planes and whatnot

crow's nest for ships

sails are connected to squares (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_rig)

you've also got foot, head, peak, ect.

bolt-rope which connects to lightning bolts

we've got reef knots

rigs are connected to computers

all of these could just be connections back to monkey island

[opaque juniper]

crows nest with the crow pet could mean looking for something while being high up (i still havent been able to get a photo of it but i swear the flying lanterns on clear night kyoto make a giant koi)

[opaque juniper]

could you help me in a priv and just see if im crazy or not, i cant get the right angle for it is all

and when i see it its usually in wt and freecam is other side of the map 😭

[unkempt dune]

I can put my account into a private match if that's what you're asking

[opaque juniper]

yes plz

ill start and put the code

3XAZ

tyty

[unkempt dune]

the origin of everything related to video games..?

I think I know one reason why Retro Invasion '82 is an event despite it being very similar to the alien invasion one

Space Invaders was the first video game, to my knowledge, that had environmental destruction with the 3 barriers that the space invaders could destroy

the gameshow event is all about destroying the map with the invaders and that's it

[opaque juniper]

Im a terrible artist so i cant even really outline what i see, but the top part of the lanterns i see as the koi’s tail with the lanters that are more spread out at the bottom meant to look like a head

they only appear on clear night aswell

i tried my best 😂💀💀

[unkempt dune]

I think it's a really interesting idea

it's definitely possible there is something with the lanterns based on the angle you look at them from

Tears of the Kingdom had something similar

not sure if it's considered anamorphosis or not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphosis

[knotty breach]

just found these glowing eyes in a tournament, it might just be a glitch or smth but they disappeared after I saw them.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1024415614728679477/1288353350194167899/image.png?ex=66f4e00f&is=66f38e8f&hm=01b5cbe834bcf8da065e03db68d7f21c12c3fe6aa63cecbb77ca00283068ce1e&

[unkempt dune]

Well, I do know they're from the black skull charm with gas coming out of the eyes if I remember correctly

no clue if it's a real bug or what

[bright ruin]

It's likely from the mask

left over from a player death

[unkempt dune]

I'm not sure if you see other players' charms

[bright ruin]

Or yeah what Atsu said, it does seem rather small

[opaque thistle]

Looks pretty much the same as a mechanic used in some of the levels of superliminal. They have a couple where you have to line up some foreground and background elements to create one object, then it lets you grab it once its lined up

[cold heart]

you dont

[opaque thistle]

there was also areas where you could see constellations and you'd line the stars up for a similar effect and it would create an outline for it between the stars which honestly look pretty similar to the lanterns here, could be that you need to line them up in a certain pattern together?

[odd copper]

The + makes it look like a crossover between 2 different sponsors. The T looks like a different font, but it could just be me.
eno + rip

[velvet narwhal]

It could also mean that they were 2 different comanies that merged

been away for a while, did the dolphins get solved?

[unkempt dune]

Here's a thought.. order matters with math (PEMDAS). However, we know it's an addition operation...

• eno+rino
• rino+eno

here's the fun part where we can try different meanings:

• rino+eno = rhino+eno = Brian Eno
• rino+eno = rie 2no = rhino to know
• rino+eno = rye 2no = rye to know
• rino+eno = Reno+salt

[velvet narwhal]

this board could help you understand the current situation https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14

The earlier levels are probably connected to the current Level. There are also still a lot of unsolved clues in the earlier levels...

The thread dread sent is for the current Level, but we also talk in the main chat about it

[near tendon]

so area 1, password 1?

[velvet narwhal]

we aren't really sure with which password we should start. It's probably best to try your passwords in all 9

[near tendon]

mmmm

[velvet narwhal]

The coordinates that are looping are all the same in each area

The wiki also has great summaries of the hunt https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/THE_FINALS_Easter_Egg_Hunt

Just being active in here is already helpful. Different ideas are always good to have.

Here are some ingame EEs we know of if that interests you:

I feel like skyway might have more on it

[burnt sun]

what do you suspect on skyway?

[near tendon]

we dont have much going on there

I think if anything somethings hiding in the server building

(sorry, are they're maps of the maps)

[burnt sun]

yes, on the wiki page for example

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Skyway_Stadium

[velvet narwhal]

https://thefinals.mywikis.eu/wiki/Skyway_Stadium

[near tendon]

aw hell yeah

yeah so I figure

in open office theres likely something going on

[velvet narwhal]

I agree, we know that there's stuff hidden, but we haven't really found anything yet.

The only notable thing we've found is a whiteboard which has a lot of clues for the main ee hunt.

oh and that the moon is sometimes red

[burnt sun]

I'm down to create a custom lobby and see what you're on about

[near tendon]

it does that ril too tho

[unborn pilot]

not sure if it's a code, but we've had HHH before in other places. found it on Vegas

[unkempt dune]

III

[keen ravine]

where is that found?

[unkempt dune]

A "capacitor" on Las Vegas

[keen ravine]

ah oki

[unkempt dune]

they come in multiple shapes and sizes

[keen ravine]

there is a charm one right?

[unborn pilot]

im gonna get a better shot as soon as i wrap up some actual work. there's a couple numbers on it

[unborn pilot]

yup. i couldn't find HHH on those in real life images.

[unkempt dune]

➖

[keen ravine]

kind of looked up HHH capacitor and found wiring for guitars... not sure if it has anything to do with this tho

[unkempt dune]

It could be involved since wires are used for these poles

[unborn pilot]

it's on these and that's the only spot on the map they appear. the numbers are HHH-17213, 2406 & 6567. i posted more images in the Vegas thread #1182955042416893984 message

those would be transformers btw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

[torn swallow]

Do you think in the s4 sponsor signup where you see an image of the contract, could the contract have little ees?

[shy oracle]

Oh my god I just realized one thing. This game has to be inspired by Tron: Legacy because of the game show aspect of it (discs and light cycles) is a survival game!! There’s the meatspace real world and the virtual world with the competitive survival games.

Wild theory:
(S)cotty is inspired by (S)am Flynn because Scotty WAS a contestant and so was Sam (who won his way out of it)

Edited 10/6/24 for simplicity
I just read up on more things to support this. Flynn's Arcade began in the 1980s and so did MultiCo. Coincidink? i think NOT.

Also it's revealed that in the movie Tron: Legacy the actual Kevin Flynn wears a bracelet while Clu (kevin's copy) does not. Methinks the "braided" wrist cosmetic (The one with roman numerals) might've been Scotty's.

I think this only further pushes the idea that Scotty is most definitely a contestant that died in the virtual world.

I truly think that the bracelet is tied to Scotty.

[unkempt dune]

@shrewd fog maybe those crosses are relevant now 👀

[shrewd fog]

i remember us looking at those lol

[unkempt dune]

oh boy is it good

very relevant to Las Vegas too

and some other stuff

might stream me explaining the connections

[near tendon]

that actually makes a lot of sense, Horizon looks very similar to the tron style. We just dont have a (named) antagonist yet

[near tendon]

could those numbers relate to a password

[unborn pilot]

Could be words, dates, etc.

[near tendon]

I think HHH might be relating to a puzzle requiring 3 heavies?

or is there some other version of HHH that we know of

[unborn pilot]

Clever. Could be. The only one that came to mind was 3H / 3 headed in 3HM

[keen ravine]

are the numbers cords? in that thought

[near tendon]

where do the power lines lead too?

its possible you need 3 heavies to stand at the end of the three routes

wait

do the three numbers coincide with the cords oh the endings of those three power lines

[keen ravine]

thats what I wanna know!

it could def lead to something

[near tendon]

how do we figure out cords anyways?

[keen ravine]

where is lud when we need him

[unborn pilot]

Give it a shot. ```
17213
2406
6567

Cords would be 172.13, 24.06, 65.67 if so

[near tendon]

whos up to hunt us a ghost?

[burnt sun]

im in for EE hunt

currently in WT final

[near tendon]

aw boogunt

I cant right now, yall have a good hunt

[burnt sun]

wtf

[near tendon]

huh

something of issue?

[keen ravine]

F31Q

[near tendon]

what does that even mean

[keen ravine]

lobby code

[near tendon]

ah

sorry

[keen ravine]

ok

[unkempt dune]

Holtow has an h1 tag used at the foot of their paragraph.. none of the other sponsors have this

H1 refers to the U.S. Army's High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, also known as the Humvee

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

Hummer is one nickname for them.. maybe like a humming bird

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

The bee hummingbird is the smallest living bird

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest_organisms#Birds_(Aves)

With a mass of approximately 1.95 grams (0.069 oz) and a length of 5.5 centimetres (2.2 inches), the bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest known dinosaur as well as the smallest bird species, and the smallest warm-blooded vertebrate

[turbid tinsel]

14-10-24 maybe a date if you add up the numbers individually per section? would be and eu format rather than the 10-14-24

[unkempt dune]

well, they all have an h1 tag at the end, but the Holtow section has an extra empty p tag

[near tendon]

october 14th 2024?

thats fairly soon

[turbid tinsel]

im just spitballing

[near tendon]

i think its got some ground

[turbid tinsel]

would be a monday though which doesnt seem to significant personally

[near tendon]

its 12 days from the the open beta opened last year

seems unrelated

[turbid tinsel]

it does land on columbus day though

[near tendon]

i dont see how columbus day is important to it

my guess is a community event

[turbid tinsel]

as well as National Online Banking Day: a day to promote the convenience and security of online banking.

[near tendon]

maybe unrelated

have any patches come out on october 14th?

WAIT, what about battlefield games?

gears 4 in 2016

[alpine junco]

rob did say there are 3 other ee assets in the game so

[near tendon]

that might be important

[shy oracle]

Also if you do the roman numerals in tap code it's bozzazaxapip, separated it's (boz) (zaz) (axa) (pip). Might be backwards but who knows. Maybe it's a start 🙂

[shy oracle]

I think the unnamed antagonist might be the CEO of a sponsor. So far "S Lies" could be Sofia or Sal Scoria. I don't think it's Scotty. Scotty supports CNS while at the same time saving face when he said "They're not hacks, June. They're glitches. Besides, HOLTOW's not worried." i think he's being watched by Sal Scoria per the SR84's camera skin's description.

I think I'm going off topic and trying to figure out lore so I'll stop to prevent spam 🙂

[near tendon]

anyone looking at the new songs?

[bright ruin]

to be fair
Scotty is super rude to June in a LOT of commentary

I always took that as him being snarky like "get it right June, jeez"

[bright ruin]

Typically I listen to songs, not look at them

[simple belfry]

There are some lyrics in overdog but I can't make it out ☹️

[deep vortex]

isn't it french?

or am i tweaking

[velvet narwhal]

I hear english phrases like "Accepting realities", "Stay strong", "Stay connected"

and "Beyond boundaries"

and probably also "within reach"

[deep vortex]

Ooh yeah ok i was thinking of a different ost. Weird. It's distorted too, like robotic (ik im so observant)

[turbid tinsel]

S4 soundrack dropped and goes hard

[velvet narwhal]

Oh yeah, C'est Absurde has french? lyrics

[velvet narwhal]

@dull marsh have you tried translating what they say?

[deep vortex]

oohhhh okok lemme try and see what i can hear, this is NOT going to be helpful

they repeat the word absurd, world, and the phrase you must pay for everything (i think??? going by ear here)

im not good at the mans voice lmao french is hardd

[velvet narwhal]

Well... your french is better than mine...

[deep vortex]

and idk why the keep saying devenir, (to become btw), but it's just the infinitive and that confuses me. I'm not 100% on if when they say 'pay', they mean countries or the verb to pay, but im going witht he verb because the sentence makes more sense

[deep vortex]

im doing yr 11 french rn lol i would hope so

[rapid willow]

I’m eternally curious, so I feel like I gotta ask: Is there an EE for not choosing a sponsor all season?

[velvet narwhal]

would be cool, but I won't be the one to try that

[rapid willow]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-choice-gif-25599564

The hardest choices require the strongest wills

Lord I hope there’s nothing tied to that..

[velvet narwhal]

devenir also means become according to google (i have 0 french knowledge).

It could be a Iseult-T song if it means become. Because they tell us that you can become anyone and everyone if you wear Iseul-T

[deep vortex]

god the whispering combined with the music makes the full sentences so hard bro ive tried slowing it down and everything but i cannot for the life of me make out what is said at around 1:30 (it's quite possibly a repeat like the other lyrics but it's just said differently)

other than that it's just the same stuff over and over again

[deep vortex]

that's a solid point

but isn't iseul-t korean or something

[velvet narwhal]

The overdog song has Engimo lyrics. It would make sense if the C'est Absurde also is by a sponsor

[deep vortex]

or ig maybe in finals language barriers aren't as common

[velvet narwhal]

yeah. We don't know any brand that's french iirc

[dull marsh]

I've skimmed through but can't find what you're trying to translate

Oh the song overdogs okay lemme check

[velvet narwhal]

The C'est Absurde song has lyrics that sound french

Overdogs is english and I'm pretty sure they're singing Engimo slogans

[deep vortex]

what about ospuze?

it's not exactly one of the three

[dull marsh]

If I had to guess already I would say that it could relate to Descartes, which has already been in the hunt/cosmetics

[deep vortex]

but i don't see why the name couldn't be french

and the founder sounds french

[deep vortex]

I am NOT caught up where was descartes?

[dull marsh]

Loooong time ago, and the is Descartes Demon mask in-game

Ok I'm trying to listen and I can understand a couple words here and there but I mostly don't understand shit lmao

[deep vortex]

As far as i can tell it's just ''world', 'to become' , 'you must pay', and 'absurd'

repeated.

but uh sofia petronelle is the founder of ospuze right?

[dull marsh]

Ok imma try to transcribe it over time

Absurde, ce que c'est
Monde fou (I think "fou" is very quiet)
Misérables et forturnés
Absurde
Ce que tu désire de devenir, c'est ce que tu es
Alors, absurde, absurde

[deep vortex]

nvmnvm its greek

[deep vortex]

bros balling

[fresh quiver]

@velvet narwhal isnt Sofia the ceo?

ceo does not mean directly its the founder 😄

[velvet narwhal]

"ce que tu désire de devenir, c'est ce que tu es" sounds like Iseul-T

[velvet narwhal]

ah yeah my bad

[velvet narwhal]

It would also kinda make sense since France is known for their fashion

[fresh quiver]

ceo not founder. then its correct 🙂

[velvet narwhal]

Is there a 3rd song with lyrics? We have an Engimo and Iseul-T song but no Holtow

[dull marsh]

Ok so this is what I have, there might be little tweaks here and there but it's mostly correct imo

Absurde, ce que c'est
Monde fou
(Pour) misérables et forturnés
Absurde
Ce que tu désire de devenir, c'est ce que tu es
Alors, absurde, absurde

Absurd, what it is
Crazy world
(For) miserable and fortunate
Absurd
What you desire to become, is what you are
So, absurd, absurd

Damn I think there is a little "pour" before Miserables and fortunate, but it's super sneaky so I'm not sure if it's my brain making it up or not

Has the lead from it been solved? If it keeps coming up, it must mean something I guess?

[eternal violet]

it hasnt been solved

[fresh quiver]

havent these been posted during the preview event?

[velvet narwhal]

yep #easter-eggs message

[kind cargo]

hey guys im not tooo sure if this helps but remember hearing about elements and these do translate in atomic elements sooo

Si Si P Ti Cr Mg Si Ti Cr Na Na V

[velvet narwhal]

Canister balloons oob of the tutorial

[kind cargo]

when popped i dont see any explostions so ig not important?

maybe a bug

[ionic swallow]

They have removed that white glitch thing behind the trophies out of bounds in the practice range

[carmine trench]

Man, I haven't gotten the new map at all

Like 6 games in a row

Just a bunch of Skyway Stadium

[velvet narwhal]

They probably moved them away from the play area that new players don't get confused by them 🤷

[kind cargo]

why not delete them though. They were not there last season.

[proven spindle]

Why I have the number 76 and my gf have the 33 on the clothes?

[kind cargo]

i have 40 so idk maybe randomized?

[proven spindle]

It’s beautiful

[opaque thistle]

Might be randomized between a specific set of numbers that are useable?

[rugged breach]

62 here.
Worth compiling them up to a point so we can check wether they're random double digit numbers on the cosmetics for that extra flare or a predetermined set

[hushed lily]

Im 30

[opaque thistle]

Im 95

I think it might just be double digit numbers exclusive to players as kind of a tie in with the sponsor thing, like how a player has their own number for fans to recognize and root for

also found a code on the ammo box, figure it's been seen tho it's pretty obvious but it says ES-28082015-09 but something a little more interesting it looks like theres some faded lettering on the other side

theres also a code on the side of the holtow hammer's head but I can't make it out well enough

[gilded lynx]

Has this already been added here? I'd assume the SN0073518 were for an easter egg

[gilded lynx]

567478 I believe

[opaque thistle]

naw on the very head of it, the side of the front part etched in at the end

[gilded lynx]

turn your head so the front is facing down, and it looks like numbers again

its the same numbers I think tho?

5674**

i cant tell the last 2, but the first 4 seem to be the same potentially

[opaque thistle]

ah it took me a second to see what you meant but it looks like you're right, I was thinking of them as upside down

[fresh quiver]

SN could also stand for Serial Number.

Mostly it is said "S/N" but SN works too

[mint flame]

Hey have we seen the code on the hot gossip sticker?

14 14 15 22 24

12 14 22 00 24

11 00 11 23 00

[velvet narwhal]

Yes but we didn't solve it yet

[unkempt dune]

Guilty as charged 🙂‍↕️

[opaque thistle]

Hehehe

[drowsy coyote]

What about Jockoflorian? Anybody else noticed they changed the sound he makes?

[fresh quiver]

S4 Credits Scroll text

[hushed lily]

Anyone notice when you sign up will holtow you have a disclaimer that you cant question the insurance policy

[idle mirage]

First time here, I want to ask if Embark usually use cyphers like Polybius square or only hints inside The game

[velvet narwhal]

A lot of ciphers are being used and the majority of the main easter egg hunt is outside of the game.

Like hidden messages/codes in images from https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1031539174743998526

[fresh quiver]

they can yes.

[idle mirage]

Perfect, thanks^^

[thin hamlet]

Guys guess what i found hidden in the hot gossip sticker

[velvet narwhal]

a code :)

[thin hamlet]

Ye

[velvet narwhal]

we didn't solve it yet tho...

[fresh quiver]

you should have a look at #egg-hunt-onboarding & the pins

There are helpful things there, and you will know where we are rn at the hunt, and some more stuff like A Google Document with the solving of Level 1 - Level 2 T1E

[idle mirage]

Yeah, I start playing again in the end of season 3 and saw a few videos from RockHound about the cetacea and the dolphins or the monkey stickers, I have to study all.

My english is very bad but I will try my best!

[severe trench]

Have we gotten any new codes to redeem after the Dolphin one?

[tired dust]

How i x-change codes and where?

[fresh quiver]

padlets are a bit older and with level3 we switched over to Miro Boards to have only 1 board to have all clues on it. https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVK0idxbU=/?moveToWidget=3458764596714583146&cot=14

Some things are still a little mess

[fresh quiver]

you mean for the dolphin? to redeem it?

[tired dust]

ye

[severe trench]

https://id.embark.games/id/giveaway

[fresh quiver]

https://id.embark.games/id/giveaway

Polar was faster 😄

[severe trench]

Yeah cause i have the website open waiting to see if there are any more codes out there

[tired dust]

bro...🌚

where's the code...

😔

[idle mirage]

Perfect, now I am busy but later I read all, thx for the introduction

[severe trench]

913aeef8-023d-41fd-8993-f114a8f915d7

[tired dust]

Bless you

[severe trench]

FYI it took me a couple tries when I tried to do it

[fresh quiver]

But have it really easy to redeem the dolphin charm

[severe trench]

So is dolphin charm the only one?

ugh man we need more

[fresh quiver]

as of now it is the only one we know of

if it is the only existing one? we don't know

But as there are already 3 EE cosmetics ingame i think there might be 2 other codes or they are unlocked otherwise

[bright ruin]

The only active one we know of

I guess we should mention there WAS another charm in season 1 that we never solved tied to a canon EE on Monaco that left (temporarily) when season 2 started

We don’t know when it’ll be back, Rob said maybe later in the year which would be Season 4-5 but he hasn’t said anything about it lately

[river urchin]

Anyone seen this
Noctovantage set if you tilt Hot Gossip to the side you can see a code

141415222412142200241100112300

[tired dust]

Maybe the code is the friends we met on the trail...

[fresh quiver]

already known here.

But unsolved.

[fresh quiver]

did my research know.
It SHOULD be back latest in S4.

#1216788595373899877 message

OK... here is a promise to you... if you dont find it today... I promise you that I will reactiveate this again in S3... (Im getting soft...)
(or S4)
(hehe)

[severe trench]

What do we need to do with 3 headed monkey?

[dull marsh]

Nothing afaik

[velvet narwhal]

They were used to activate Level 3 of the hunt

[near tendon]

I think were missing a few?

[dull marsh]

There is a possibility that there could be something to do but nothing points toward that

[severe trench]

So what exactly are we waiting for? What are we currently trying to solve

[near tendon]

theres a lot of stuff, are we still working on the vegas transformers ee?

[severe trench]

Theres too many threads to keep track of...

[near tendon]

it is quite annoying

[severe trench]

Where do you find anything related to vegas transformers?

[near tendon]

one sec

im gonna pull up the map map

behind the galmour district are a couple of power transformers with some writing on em

were just checking what they are/if they mean anything

[hushed lily]

Yes more secrets to explore

[near tendon]

were not sure if it leads to anythng though

HHH-17213, 2406 & 6567

[hushed lily]

Thats not the spirit

Anyone remember what CNS stood for

I forgot again

[gloomy anvil]

closest theory is central nervous system

[near tendon]

central nervous system

i think rob confirmed that

the almighty rob 🙏

[hushed lily]

Yes

[velvet narwhal]

#easter-eggs message this is the message where rob confirmed it.

The message is a bit vague. It could also just be related to central nervous system and not literally mean it

[near tendon]

we aint had a nice lore confirmaton in a while

[hushed lily]

Neat

My first impression was like inception, where the brain trys to protect you, but CNS is here instead trying to break us out

[near tendon]

they haven't been really all that active throughout season 3 though

[hushed lily]

But it could just be that CNS has secrets they wish to share and Expose but they seemed shunned

[near tendon]

is it possible they got ta ranked to steal money faster, even though they knew the community would hate it?

[hushed lily]

I was hoping for a CNS appearance this season and i still am

Why do they use the word meatspace

[velvet narwhal]

I feel like they'll be back at the end of the season

[hushed lily]

Is it the slang

[near tendon]

slang for irl

[hushed lily]

K so its not to be overthinking about

[near tendon]

WAIT, the acheivement "just like scotty" is for completing a match without getting eliminated riight?

[hushed lily]

Ya

Thats right

[near tendon]

does that mean the reason scotty is an announcer is because he didn't get eliminated in his career, meaning hes not dead irl

because (assumptions) maybe when you get eliminated enough

[hushed lily]

[near tendon]

you just die, like an episode of black mirror

[hushed lily]

Think i missed that bit of lore

Are people dying in matches?

[near tendon]

its all assumption, but I think so

[hushed lily]

Scotty always has to assure the audience that the players wont suffer any consequences from low gravity

So that would assume that people actually are plugged in with a AR or VR setup

We don’t know how they are rigged up tho? They could be at home or in a building where they have the hardware so they could make sure no one cheats

[near tendon]

thats because being in low gravity wrecks your spine

[hushed lily]

Ya

[near tendon]

your right, we really dont know much about the vr setup?

[unborn pilot]

According to new credits MultiCo is fully named MultiCo Entertainment Holdings and the 3 sponsors are actually just subsidiaries of MultiCo

[alpine junco]

ahahaha "tango alpha mike alpha out"

tama confirmed spec op

[hushed lily]

Tamao

[near tendon]

tama acutal, this is tama 1, we have a situation, I just pissed my jorts

[near tendon]

they seem like a big imposing building that is used to show the bad guy

[velvet narwhal]

It could be that most companies are just subsidiaries then

[unborn pilot]

Also this could be Vegas, Monaco or Skyway

[near tendon]

I think that might be horizon

[unborn pilot]

Maybe. I noticed the statue and that’s only on the 3 maps

[hushed lily]

Oh

[alpine junco]

gill t fisher is a king fisher but read as guilty fisher

[hard forge]

monaco duck and cover

[hushed lily]

Sam fisher!?

[near tendon]

do you think when we find the maps shown on this map will give us an idea of an ee path to follow?

[unborn pilot]

Lost legacy…sounds like it might be an old EE we missed maybe

[near tendon]

how far back?

[unborn pilot]

Hard to say but it’s also heart shaped and Rob said love as a theme + there’s the roses…sigh

[naive kernel]

Cannon EE was meant to return in this season too right? Maybe it's a direct call-out

[unborn pilot]

Oh maybe 🤔 that’s supposed to come back

[near tendon]

wait

its a pirates treasure map, pirate ships have cannons, is it related to the monaco cannons

[velvet narwhal]

This reminded me of this

[near tendon]

maybe we have to shoot them in an order

also 13 palm trees

[drowsy coyote]

Again, Jockoflorian, the Robot on your shoulder makes new sounds. It almost sounds like a code or something.

[unborn pilot]

I can see that. Not sure what it is besides another eye maybe.

[naive kernel]

Cathedral sits pretty central to the image

[bright ruin]

It’s TAMA

[bright ruin]

Heck yeah! Good to know

[unborn pilot]

weird the WR is still there. thought rob said that was removed

[bright ruin]

He did say initially it’d come back in some different form though, so we gotta keep that in mind

[hushed lily]

HE PUT OUT AT THE END 😂😂

I didn’t hear the message myself i didn’t know

[bright ruin]

Out is an end of transmission word, NOT a NATO phonetic Radio Communications Alphabet word

That would be "Oscar"

[hushed lily]

Ya i realized it after i put it in

I just chose not to change it

[cold heart]

he said it was suppose to be, but it didnt make it in the season launch update

taken from RHBs video

[unborn pilot]

oh okay. i didn't read that full message. ty

[silk flax]

So we tchnically waiting for tier 3 to start?

[unborn pilot]

it's already started, we just haven't solved any of it yet 🙂

[fresh quiver]

https://reachthefinals.com/tfee-level3

'sliescetaceaasconce'

[near tendon]

someone try the word burgers

[timid solstice]

any one recorded the new credits?

[agile goblet]

are docs in #egg-hunt-onboarding and the pins in relevant thread enough to jump into EE junt ? or there is more ?

[unborn pilot]

good place to begin for sure. you'll see all the recent things there as well as from the past. feel free to ask any questions

[fresh quiver]

yes

[fresh quiver]

just started transcribing

#1288851829068795955

[near tendon]

any good lore in that?

[fresh quiver]

yes

[near tendon]

anything beneficial to phase 3?

[fresh quiver]

no. but that all 3 sponsors are wholly subsidiaries of multico

[near tendon]

didn't we already know that?

[fresh quiver]

did we?

[near tendon]

I figured

[severe trench]

what is this map from?

[unborn pilot]

Battle pass

[shy oracle]

If you look at Scotty and June's page in the official finals wiki the map resembles a heart as their logo does

I can't flip or rotate the map nor the logo in paint but I wanted to reference here lol

[bright ruin]

Map does look heart like

But it's more duck-like

[shy oracle]

I think you're right actually, especially the beak-like structure

[burnt sun]

The Heart also "writes" Scotty and June

or rather S (the Topright part, missing the Rest)

and J, but turned

[bright ruin]

(That's why it's Scotty & June's Logo)

[burnt sun]

Yeah, I was just about to type that :D I should have read the text above the pictures before typing

[unborn pilot]

Also not to forget. There is a new code under the crushed can charm too

[storm horizon]

there is smth interesting?

[bright ruin]

Which part?

[storm horizon]

and there are bunch of holograms in tutorial

[near tendon]

has this been tested as a pass?

[near tendon]

the area between the end of the J and the first curve of the S might be the cove on the east side oh the islang shown, which lines up the dot to be the eye

can anyone translate the singing in cest absurde

[shy oracle]

yeah i drew it out on some napkin paper and it roughly aligns with some of the lining/orientation of the actual map

[near tendon]

it implies constant watching from the announcers

[turbid heath]

https://www.twitch.tv/thiixy/clip/AlertSilkyCucumberBleedPurple-teBCIPiXWwEWZg6Q

[bright ruin]

They eye on the duck map must be Rob telling us to Open Our Eyes to what's referenced on that possibly 🤔

R.cade pointed out the statue I believe, I can't tell what's near the duck's beak though

[near tendon]

kinda looks like pie

[shy oracle]

I don't think it's the announcers, the SR84 sniper's skin Auto Focus is "Keep an eye on everything from a distance. Like Sal Scoria." I think it's one of the sponsors or someone using the sniper.

Holy guacamole I think this is the part where the skin APPLIES TO THE LORE

[unborn pilot]

My brother who doesn’t even play Finals pointed something out about the map. Everything is hand drawn but the middle of the eye is a perfect circle, said it reminds him of a CD 💿

[near tendon]

sal scoria is the ceo of the security company

[shy oracle]

yes for Vaiiya

[near tendon]

the disc throwing knifes skin might be relevant to our search then?

[unborn pilot]

My brain went to, maybe it’s a jump pad.

[bright ruin]

The dot in the middle isn't perfect, it's just the "white" part hmm

[unborn pilot]

Maybe that too

[near tendon]

could it be refrencing possible vynil soundtrack releases if we solve this?

[mint phoenix]

PLEASEEEE

IM on my hands and knees begging for finals on vinyl

[bright ruin]

The pathing through 2 trees, TWICE, is interesting to me.

And then again next to two trees. hm

[near tendon]

13 trees, what maps have palm trees?

the duck is also obv a refrence to the monoco map variant

[bright ruin]

just Monaco in general, it always has a duck

[unborn pilot]

Monaco has a few, and 3 statues of the woman
Skyway also, but just 1 statue
Vegas is full of palm trees but no statues

[near tendon]

i think all signs point to a clue somewhere in monaco

[bright ruin]

The map being a literal guide through previous clues to get to something new feels like a Rob move.

Have we had clues involving those statues before? The mountains throw me off though

[alpine junco]

was translated

[burnt sun]

is this the engimo dragon-fly?

[near tendon]

it kinda looks like a boat to me, and what map has a marina next to it, monaco

[unborn pilot]

Not the best screenshot but center of Vegas is round, and has palm trees in sets of 2

[shy oracle]

dragonflies have 2 wings per side

[bright ruin]

Hmmm that's a good potential connection

[unborn pilot]

I definitely see a bird/flying something now that you say that

[burnt sun]

and the Eye is for sure the same as on the new License to Sleuth Revi Skin

[near tendon]

the lights line up with the centre to make an s or a z

[bright ruin]

R.Cade, There's a few branches to follow with that map (pun intended)
But if we go the Monaco route, we should consider the possibility that this is telling us of the renewed Canon EE in whatever "new form" it's been made into, which may not involved the canons at all anymore (Rob's confirmation needed)

[shy oracle]

how far do the canons shoot?
edit: or where do they aim?

[near tendon]

isn't there one that shoots into the water

[bright ruin]

Depends on the canon. We have a map somewhere

[near tendon]

I feel like that might be of some import

[bright ruin]

You can read all about our findings and theories in #1216788595373899877

[shy oracle]

and to confirm rob kinda told us way before #1216788595373899877 message

it's returning in S4 and it's definitely monaco now

[bright ruin]

Personally, don't think the location of the EE activation would have changed, so yes likely on Monaco still.
But I'm not 100% certain this duck map points us to Monaco for that purpose (pending rob confirmation)

Duck map may point to an entirely different EE, or nothing at all

[unborn pilot]

😂 great pun & theory

[bright ruin]

I saw that Smashel
I know you're about to drop the solution like always

[unborn pilot]

quick sketch of where each statue is "looking"

[alpine junco]

there we go

[unborn pilot]

🦆

[bright ruin]

With the path going through the face of the statue on the map

And the eye in the middle of it

I feel it's implying a statue is looking at the "treasure"

[fallen jasper]

New music has distorted voices

[bright ruin]

if you're referring to Supersport, it's vocoded, not distorted

Overdog too

[fallen jasper]

Ok

[bright ruin]

That statue in Royal Plaza is looking at the fountain isn't it?

Look at the duck map
This circle kinda looks like the fountain

[mint phoenix]

it looks like a duck to me
