you can chain together any of the modules and then upload any type of file or text etc

The XYRR1X2 from the twitch hint could be an equation using R^R that can be reused depending on values since he did say "passwords' as in multiple

[pure loom]

If that’s the case then the “XY” could represent the coordinates we’ve been given.

[gloomy anvil]

I've been away all day, looks like we have lots of new stuff?

well most of the day

[alpine junco]

yeah and right now i realized rob drops #official-art and dev's do updates on weird days

[alpine junco]

new #official-art at the start of the winter solstice. an update was released on a harvest moon

could be all coincidence

[rugged breach]

Updates I'd give leeway on but official art's directly related to the hunt

[alpine junco]

updates usually had ee if they were events but we never found any 😆

[fallen summit]

reminds me of the gta 6 moon theory

[rugged breach]

Weird shadow patterns reminiscent of the practise range ones in fortune's big iseult building you gotta jump pad to. They're behind ceiling lights you need to break

Welcome to EE 🤝

[cold heart]

for some reason this cross thingie, in front of the St Sebastian temple, is rotated the wrong way in game

the step, and place to rest your hand, should be on the side facing the temple

[hasty anvil]

There’s also a big X on it with the swords

[full token]

I’m just curious, did anyone ever read this while looking into Senidenary? https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00283-022-10206-w

Talks about the history of the hex system and on how various people thought about it through time, and their own systems (there’s a shout out to the Mayans system). Ultimately leading to Leibniz.

[dull marsh]

Oh that's a book? Damn XD

That does seem like a good lead

[full token]

Maybe, i just read what’s on that page. It took like 5 minutes but there was a lot there that made me think. Even down to the T2ABCDEF from before.

[crisp eagle]

I think at the top of the cross there's a face. would that make it facing the building instead of away from it then?

[gloomy anvil]

If anybody has a summary of today's clues and finds please do feel free to add them to https://thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_Three:_The_Hunt, I can't be on wiki duty this weekend

here’s about half of what was found today

there’s much more that cade and ludonope could probs fill in

[cold heart]

some more screenshots cos you asked
they removed the religious symbolism from it (cross and the head, etc)

but i think the rest of this appears almost 1-to-1 on the real thing
... but i need to find better images first

[alpine junco]

just got a megalodon reference in game

"swimming with the sharks"
"youre stealing my thunder"

[timid solstice]

hey whats the sit rep with the last 2 images?
is the a link to things found in them? I saw one of Ludos image compilations

[crisp eagle]

ok the two little faces at the top were what i was thinking of. thanks! I think there are still some religious symbols on it though. It may just be alterations they made because it needs to be different by a certain degree. Not sure how the laws on using 1 to 1 on real places works. but the dove I believe is whenever Jesus is baptized by John and the Spirit "fell upon Him like a dove." then the crown of thorns with the three nails under it used in His crucifixion. The big head with the triangle I assume represents the Trinity. The four people looking up towards the heavens may be Pentecost whenever the Spirit fell upon everyone. The hands with the roses, no idea. And the coat of arms looking thing, also no idea haha

[gloomy anvil]

This seems to perfectly line up with the map to Elaine's gold statue in Curse of Monkey Island.

"With all eyes open, follow the path to the X. SouthEast, NorthWest, West, South, East, Two paces NorthEast, East, SouthWest. X Marks the Spot!"

The directions are used in the Speare theater to display an 'X' with stage light beams on the stage.

The text on the map, and use of compass bearings, clearly echoes Rob's language and Level 3 themes.

We know Las Vegas is relevant to Level 3.

I think I must've missed some EE lore cause I don't see it talked about much

[crisp eagle]

It makes me think that the clue Rob gave about the 4 letters is in the names of the casinos and we are missing something still. Standing on that center stage, you're surrounded by the casinos and can see the names very clearly.

[crisp eagle]

I've tried "gaze" and "GAZE" as passwords already, but I can't stop coming back to it being part of it somehow. Rob was standing on that center stage, spinning clockwise in the clip we have of him talking about it being placed there for a reason. Then we have another clip of him saying "it's in your face. open...your...eyes." The four casino names are in your face when standing on the stage, spinning. If you start at Glamora and turn clockwise, you get Glamora, Argon, Zaraby, Eastwood. First letter of each casino in that order. GAZE. You open your eyes when doing it, and the letters are big, bright, colorful, and in your face. It's driving me crazy haha

[low escarp]

1. we take the large letters
   Z E D C
2. we take the star letters
   glamora = M
   argon = O
   eastwood = D/E
   zaraby =
   and the grandstand has a star on G

eastwood could also be the letter above the star = S/O

[alpine junco]

I was also thinking when rob said he can see 4 big letters/numbers when he was in spectator mode in stream

[low escarp]

4 letter "in ur face" "NSEW" at the top of ur screen

[alpine junco]

MODE Z = modulus z

“The modulus of z is |z| = r = px2 + y2. The argument of z is arg z = θ = arctan (y x )”

But thats a bit of a stretch

[dull marsh]

Been there, done that 😂

[scarlet elk]

They're neither big nor colorful

[low escarp]

they are the biggest letters on the compass

[scarlet elk]

And it would mean they're not only on Las Vegas

[eternal violet]

i think people are starting to mix up clues. "4 letters, big, colorful, pretty/cryptic" was for the password, "in your face" was for the platform ee

[scarlet elk]

The 4 letters are part of a password, not the password itself.
And passwords are always lowercase.

[gloomy anvil]

Lowercase passwords were confirmed for Level 2 but not Level 3

[crisp eagle]

I think @eternal violet is right. We’ve been mixing some clues up (me). Maybe we just need to get the sandstorm variant and the center stage is where the gold nama tama shows up

[weak narwhal]

ok boy i see you

#1320004425019949097 message this is interesting to me. i can't chat in threads yet so i'll just reply here for now. I was messing around with plotting the level 3 coordinates using RA Dec and got:

Bumping this eyed message for vegas casino names

[pulsar fiber]

@crisp eagle pointed out that the first letters of the casino names spell out GAZE. which led me to mapping the coordinates for constellations. could be the order of them Ludo was mentioning in that message.

[dull marsh]

The letters at the center need more investigation, we need to narrow most of them down properly if we wanna find anything from it

R.Cade did a good deep dive last night already, I don't necessarily see the same thing for all of them, so we need to dig more and make sure we get them right, any help is appreciated!

[pulsar fiber]

There's a star in the O on Argon Casino. The dimmed letters on Argon spell out "serpents". Ophiuchus constellation is depicted as a man holding a serpent.

[orchid hound]

where do u find this

[dull marsh]

I made it :3

[hard forge]

you can click on the link and it will lead you to the thread

[orchid hound]

ok that kool

[orchid hound]

is there alot of stuff like this in the game code

[hard forge]

in the game code? no

[orchid hound]

o how do you fine it then or is it all made up

[hard forge]

welcome to Easter egg hunt which started in 2022

more details can be found on #egg-hunt-onboarding

[pulsar fiber]

There's also a star on the G of Lapis Grandstand, possibly for the Gemini constellation known as "the twins".. there's an image on each side of the stage with a big star on the helmet. Just spouting off what I'm noticing at this point in hopes it's relevant LOL.

[dull marsh]

Europe: 10.53 million km2
North America: 24.71 million km2

Adding to this really quick

[orchid hound]

ok thank you i will look for stuff

[crisp eagle]

That is official art that has been manipulated with image editting software to find hidden clues

[dull marsh]

Oh wait yeah maybe we're rotating them the wrong way?? XD

[gloomy anvil]

those are exact land areas?

[orchid hound]

ok

[dull marsh]

Seems to be yeah, google gives those numbers

[hard forge]

IMPRESSIVE WORK LUDO

[orchid hound]

i see there a lot to all this now

[crisp eagle]

were these from powe i powe? my brain hurts

[rugged breach]

Wait holy that was good N1

[dull marsh]

No from the keyart on the drive

Given the fact that these numbers were 👀'd, it would mean that the passwords are divided among those 3 continents 🤔

[orchid hound]

so do you get anything for finding a clue

[hard forge]

yep but you don't necessarily have to learn old stuffs...you can hop in and help in our arm chair treasure hunt

[dull marsh]

We may get eyes, and then we keep on going until we solve it all..

[rugged breach]

Knowledge, mindbreak, schizophrenia

[dull marsh]

We mostly do it for the puzzles themselves

[orchid hound]

ok

do you guy make vc and talk about the stuff too

[hard forge]

eyes, dopamine, pat on a back, bragging rights, respect in the community, probably a shoutout on Rockhoundblack's youtube.

[gloomy anvil]

I'm so sad I missed this whole weekend of clue solving

but we have so much stuff now, maybe I should leave more often

[crisp eagle]

I mainly do it for the free schizophrenia

who?

The stars next to D and E on Eastwood Drive could represent the Delphinus and Equuleus constellations. Delphinus is the greek word for dolphin!! Equuleus is represented as a little horse.

HOT STREAK FR

[snow walrus]

Im on mobile can anyone try thia name for L3 passwords

charleslutwidgedodgson

[dull marsh]

Nope

[crisp eagle]

no luck

[gloomy anvil]

It does seem relevant that Carroll took his real name, translated it to Latin and back, then reversed the word order (like the T3 pswd did)

[snow walrus]

nt

[dull marsh]

Maybe the 5 coordinates all apply in different ways to each continent?

I think we can safely assume that:
MW.AREA #1 = North America
MW.AREA #2 = Europe
MW.AREA #3 = Asia

[rugged breach]

Checks out placement wise

[hard forge]

yes

[dull marsh]

And in terms of clues, if we gotta pair maps to them it would be Las Vegas, Monaco and Seoul (I'm only considering maps at launch)

[hard forge]

finally PROGRESS 🫠

[gloomy anvil]

The only reason I discounted this at first is the UI placement changing depending on your display resolution and zoom level, but that does seem like an edge case.

[dull marsh]

And we could argue that it still roughly shows each continent, even if poorly

[rugged breach]

It's not 100% clean but clears the plausible bar. Another pain point is that each continent doesn't have a sepparate coordinate system afaik

[crisp eagle]

i thought the same thing. when looking on my phone it obviously looks nothing like it does on a monitor. could be why we got those numbers hidden in the keyart though. push us back towards that thinking

Rob may have put them there to roughly get them in those areas so it's still close no matter what resolution

[alpine junco]

do any words come out from combining them?

[dull marsh]

Didn't search yet cuz I think a lot of my stuff is wrong

[snow walrus]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/THX_1138

[dull marsh]

Hey I posted about that a bit ago! 😄

[snow walrus]

Lol where

[fresh quiver]

#easter-eggs message

[alpine junco]

OMM 0000
zero matrix ?

possible connection?

[snow walrus]

Oh i didnt see that. My connection was Rob's frequent THX.! messages 😅

[alpine junco]

Hans Memling

[dull marsh]

Yeah that's the reason I dug a bit that rabbit hole hehe

[alpine junco]

i have a weird connection on how Sal Scoria can be seen as a deity but i think thats lore

[crisp eagle]

during that scene where he is confessing to OMM 000 it shows this image for a couple of seconds. kinda looks like an axolotl with dragonfly wings

[pure loom]

Potentially we're working on MW.AREA #2 with the "kara" coordinates

[rugged breach]

That's an interesting though, if we take the coodinates to outline an area it'd be eastern europe/bit of asia and northeastern africa in them

[dull marsh]

I honestly don't know if we're dealing with actual coordinates

Right now I'm looking into them being areas of some sort 🤔

[rugged breach]

This one was pretty interesting
#easter-eggs message

[gloomy anvil]

Given the multiple connections to The Matrix (movie), and the null matrix in the latest art, we could need to arrange the coordinate digits as a matrix somehow. I'm not knowledgeable enough on how they work though.

[dull marsh]

What if this is a matrix 🤔

[hasty anvil]

Might be what the } meant

[dull marsh]

Yup what made me think about it

[gloomy anvil]

You can check all the coordinate outlines here btw, if it saves time https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1gTEAYxRe-rnCRTUCKRYY9WClHLtpnho

[rugged breach]

Not knowlegeable on matrixes, though given we had the "= 0 0 0 0" (two under though) is there a way to make all of the coordinate matrix equal zero, thus revealing the numbers we need to nullify those being the true coordinates?

[dull marsh]

yeah there might be something like that

I feel like matrices can finally get us somewhere with those numbers

Let's hope that somewhere is not a wall 💀

[eternal violet]

{} is for sets, [] is for matrices

well, the square brackets ARE there for the matrix

im just saying { } is not matrix related, though you can put anything in a set 🤷‍♂️

[dull marsh]

good catch, I didn't spot the brackets there

[fresh quiver]

{} reminds me more of an array. or similar

[fresh quiver]

we could check again if we find a pattern in older images. If it also occured in older images that needs overlaying

[hard current]

the CNS time is when rob hinted at that

we had a lot of images with weird borders/shapes near the edges

[rugged breach]

WRD3HM comes to mind, had pink pixels leading us to the rule of thirds on all intersections but the bottom right. Would make sense to ombine it with one that had the bottom right filled but not the others

[dull marsh]

We have the matrix on VAIIYA while on DISSUN we got 0004 🤔

[hard forge]

set?

[dull marsh]

Maybe it's about The Matrix (movie) set? 😄

X marks the spot 🤔

[gloomy anvil]

with two swords

[alpine junco]

X on the left arm, have we checked all the left arms in recent art?

[hard forge]

wow

[alpine junco]

Came across this doom scrolling.

Maybe we have something similar?

https://www.atypography.com/manual

[full token]

what's this image from? did you add those parenthesis?

[gloomy anvil]

Those are the Level 3 coordinates. Ludo arranged them in a matrix format and added parenthesis.

[full token]

Also that's not necessarily true, and those are different things entirely (sets, and matrices). A lot of notation is contextually based. Some people do use parenthesis for their matrix notation like in Physics with Tensors, typically it is braces or square brackets, or bars. I wouldn't hard rule anything out especially the myriad references.

[full token]

Thanks for clarifying, I was just curious if he indeed did add the parenthesis.

[eternal violet]

i know theyre different things, but im pretty sure curly brace matrices are not a thing

[full token]

What about transformation geometry?

[dull marsh]

I've tried to rotate the points around the origin until they end up on integer coordinates but it doesn't work

Even single points don't seem to ever fit that way

But I like the idea of considering a set of points, and manipulating them with matrices

[full token]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was probably just conflating stuff I was thinking about for Las Vegas.

[hard current]

would make sense with the vaiiya { }

{} is used to denote a set of numbers

[alpine junco]

Given that we have Dissun and Vaiiya official art, that means Isuelt is next

3 pieces to the puzzle

[full token]

it's interesting that they're all to the 5th significant figure except two of them

[crisp eagle]

Teach me photoshop fast! I don’t drink. I’ll do it 🫡

[dull marsh]

In the original coordinates they are, it just ends by 0

Just to quickly summarize on the 👀 we got, which seem to indicate the most significant clues:

• Surface areas for NA, Europe and Asia
• STS-88 with Endeavour on Dec 4th 1998
• William the Conqueror's birthdate

[full token]

I'm really trying to focus the relationship between them tbh, there are so many rabbit holes/things we've looked at in the past that would be so easy to get sucked back into,

[eternal violet]

i would think eyed clue = solved, not really indicating significance

we're pretty good at dates

[dull marsh]

But he eyed unsolved stuff, just barely "found"

While some of the "solved" clues are not eyed

[hard current]

yeah honestly you guys have found SO much since Rob was last on, I would hope to see more eyes

remember, eyes don't = high importance, they mean they're correct

[dull marsh]

He has stated that he was only eyeing big stuff now

Gotta find where he said that now... 💀

[hard current]

OH I didn't know that!

[dull marsh]

#1201288968562552863 message

[hard current]

ah the big hunt

but if they're correct

[dull marsh]

Ok it is still open to interpretation, but he is not eyeing most of our findings these days, only big stuff

[hard current]

to be fair, he hasn't really been on since he dropped the vaiiya image and you guys have found a ton since

[full token]

just trying to start to paint a picture on potential ways to move forward or an inkling even about where it could be heading, I suppose there's probably not enough information yet though. It's been harder so far for me with Level 3, but probably just due to having taken a break.

[hard current]

so I would make sure the most improtant stuff is in #1204475718747029535 and make sure to reference it next time he's online

[dull marsh]

I'm sure he's read a lot of it tho, him not being active in here is not him not reading 😄

[eternal violet]

i remember this lol

[rugged breach]

Seeing fish triggered a memory where he vaguelly hinted at a fish related ee right before kyoto dropped

Could be WITP = Water in the pond / walk in the pond, deactivated cause most things are frozen over

Also stiggggssooooooon'ed stiggson during a waterdance livestream cause he noticed the monaco pond wasn't frozen over

[dull marsh]

ooooooh would actually make SO MUCH sense!!

[gloomy anvil]

seems like the interchangeability of o, 0, and null (lack of any character, like in burrw) is a running theme

[fresh quiver]

guess who did that today xD

[full token]

Any other ideas floating around as to what the numbers could be other than coordinates? (The Kara thing seems pretty great as other people have said, but no eyes yet afaik.) So a number set, matrices potentially, anything else?

[dull marsh]

Idk Kara is interesting but seems a bit wonky ngl, it lacks that "wow effect" that we get when we find actual stuff Rob planned

[full token]

Yeah true. I'm not sure what to do with these numbers lol. I just made an xy pair plot of them, trying other stuff too. Given the password page, it just feels weird that they wouldn't be coordinates, so i'm kinda stuck on that I guess.

[dull marsh]

The weird part is that all 5 seem to apply to the 3 areas, so just coordinates would be hard 🤔

[full token]

I wonder if it's just like the coordinates of the orbit of the ISS during STS-88 or something lol /j

[keen ravine]

Ohhh that is a really interesting thought

[dull marsh]

Don't joke about that, I've looked a bit into the orbital parameters

But I hardly see how the orbital parameters of something could relate to each continent

[sturdy lichen]

Can't add photos or enter messages in the SY$_Horizon hidden room, but I just found a random ladder when I was peeking through a specific wall

Dm one of us and we'll post them in your honour 😁

[wind ether]

For sys hidden room too, referencing #1315046366417915994 message, other buildings have differing colors of these pixels, most are pink-ish purple, but we found yellow in art gallery and a blue one in Library (right below a pink one on the same wall)

[shadow shore]

@dull marsh

I need to borrow your brain if you're awake

[dull marsh]

Ye

[shadow shore]

This is on the inside of the spotlight. After you shoot out the bulb. Symbol, texture bug, or my descent into insanity?

[shadow shore]

you can also shoot through the actual spotlights and hit things, one-way

[dull marsh]

What spotlight do you mean?

[shadow shore]

on the main stage

it's on all of them, if you shoot out the lights

[dull marsh]

Doesn't look like anything to me

[shadow shore]

the one's on the floor

[snow walrus]

Static shadows?

[dull marsh]

I think it's too pixelated to be something important and intentional 🤔

[shadow shore]

yeah makes sense, i guess i'm reliving the BFEE days where we were looking for symbols to activate on tings

[dull marsh]

If it had been a clear/obvious symbol then maybe but here the shape is weird and all

[dull marsh]

PTEESD

[shadow shore]

yeahhh, usually i'd have considered it nothing..but the fact you can see and shoot through the busted lights, "steal the spotlight" and brain damage made me think it could be something

[shadow shore]

those BF symbols haunt my dreams

[hard current]

we got a lot of stuff this weekend, have we tried to connect any of the clues to one another yet from the multiple level 3 images?

iirc Rob says the more images we get, the easier things should be

I was MIA but I’m back now 🥹

[dull marsh]

Imo a lot of stuff are linking back to mathematical sets and rings

This is literally the intersection between 2 sets

We have the curly braces {} which are used for set notation

We have Simone Veil who's brother created the empty set notation

The we have mathematical rings, which are very closely related to sets, I don't think I need to enumerate all the "ring" clues we've got in the hunt...

A set contains "elements", we've had Euclid's Elements before

Some special rings are called domains, and in from case called principal ideal domain or PID (we had PID #9703 as a clue, not sure what for)

STS-88 launched the Unity module, Unity is a term which is used a lot in maths, including for matrices and rings

Some rings that lack a property are called "rng", missing the "i"

[alpine junco]

the "i" in the nama tama knight image 👀

[dull marsh]

This is also an Euler diagram (Venn diagrams are a specific set of Euler diagrams which show all combinations possible)

[crisp eagle]

random thought: we've got STS-88 and there are 88 recognized constellations

i don't believe STS-88 is supposed to point us there. just kinda cool

[crisp eagle]

i like all of that. and these are just scattered everywhere on images we've been getting lately for level3

[dull marsh]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(Sun_Ra_album)

[crisp eagle]

"He soon abandoned his birth name, taking the name Le Sony'r Ra, shortened to Sun Ra (after Ra, the Egyptian god of the Sun). Claiming to be an alien from Saturn on a mission to preach peace, he developed a mythical persona and an idiosyncratic credo that made him a pioneer of Afrofuturism."

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

[dull marsh]

André Weil (brother of Simone Weil) was founder of a group of mathematicians that would publish collectively under the name of Nicolas Bourbaki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Bourbaki

The name Nicolas was apparently picked in reference to Copernicus

Bourbaki introduced several mathematical notations which have remained in use. Weil took the letter Ø of the Norwegian alphabet and used it to denote the empty set

So technically this symbol was introduced in stuff published by Nicolas Bourbaki

We got the first image on the 17, the second on the 21... so the ISEUL-T one should arrive on the 25 🎄 🎅

I don't have image perms, but the first anniversary gun skins have hidden text on them. From what I found, the V9S has "Alter. Expose. Destroy." on it and the AKM has "Discovery Corp." on it. There might be more

You have to catch the light on them in a specific way to outline the text

"Mirror world" as a term refers to an accurate digital representation of the real-world. It was coined by computer scientist David Gelernter in his 1991 book Mirror World. The year 1991 is is '19' mirrored against itself.

Just rambling, it's a weak connection.

[gloomy anvil]

Starting at the North West casino Zaraby (considering the NW clues), you'd get ZEGA, which could be interpreted as "SEGA" with the S mirrored.

[graceful cosmos]

These are on all of the default guns.

[dull marsh]

Just realized that movies or videogames are usually released at different dates in different regions

Which could help have 1 idea fill 3 passwords in Level 3

[hard forge]

huh?

[dull marsh]

1 movie can have multiple dates, one for each region = multiple passwords

[hard forge]

ahh

[shy oracle]

Zaraby.. lucky number 7?

[unkempt dune]

If there's a lot of references to "set" then maybe it's not a set related to mathematics. It could be a set related to music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(music)

If that's the case... Death by Rhodent sounds like a good starting place to me

[trim gust]

GUYS I found some odd floppy disk in Kyoto

some glitched walls break when u shoot the roof

@shadow shore

[shadow shore]

oh i get what you mean now, wot tha

[gloomy anvil]

along those lines,
'The X-Files I Want To Believe' was released July 25, 2008 in the US (North America)
'The Dark Knight' was released July 25, 2008 in the UK (Europe)

no idea what we did but me and @shadow shore just had a round foggy night where those lights didnt show up

could be a clear night only thing not sure

[low escarp]

have we ever looked into the moving pattern on the glass on sys?

@shadow shore found that if u look at the suns reflection in a window it does this

[shadow shore]

Both sunset and sunny day variants of the map do it too ☀️

[crisp eagle]

Mirrors and the sun you say

[low escarp]

345 330

dosnt matter if ur all the way left or right on the map

[keen ravine]

Does the sun change at all when you trigger the dolphins?

[fallen summit]

just realized theres an odelia like figure drop kicking a nama tama plushie in the closed beta trailer

at 1:40

[dull marsh]

For now the most common theme I'm kinda seeing is "space"

• Udo Keppler -> Kepler
• NY politics as solar system
• Black Knight satellite
• STS-88

No idea where William the Conqueror or NA/Europe/Asia fit in there tho 🤔

[gloomy anvil]

The X-Files and Alien themes are centered around space too

[gloomy anvil]

Following the ordinal directions on the map to Elaine's statue gives GZGEEA

[dull marsh]

I don't get the fixation on zero/empty/space...

Black is the absence of light, #000000

0°C = 32°F and 32 is ASCII for space

I really feel like the Vegas central stage is just pointing at the big rotating F hologram "it's in your face"

Space is a lot about zero-G

[crisp eagle]

Maybe something with freezing point? Probably not though

[hasty anvil]

We've had the theme of space for many tiers, i think that's too wide of a theme

[dull marsh]

Yes and no, STS-88 is a pretty direct connection imo

But yeah it might just be an overall theme, nothing more

[crisp eagle]

It’s been awhile since I’ve read it, and I might again after this, but I did some looking back at 1984 the book. The main character, Winston Smith’s first diary entry is April 4th, 1984. 404 again

[dull marsh]

I'm suspecting it will be one of those cases where only the third image will provide the key to those clues, just like the Mendeleev level

[gloomy anvil]

random thought

[crisp eagle]

I more so meant maybe freezing point is trying to point us to “0.” I’m bad at wording things. I either ramble or make it too short haha. But we’ve got the frozen weapon bundle right now (I know it’s Christmas) and our contestant friend for a lot of the season 5 trailers/pics is number 32.

[crisp eagle]

Saving this image just in case like I do everything else ever

[alpine chasm]

do you specificallly need a shotgun to do this?

[crisp eagle]

Man I forgot in 1984 they have the Thought Police too. Reminds me of Vaiiya

[alpine junco]

By rotating F you mean finals logo?

[dull marsh]

Yes yes

[low escarp]

no
a quick melee or a few bullets from any gun break the stuff on roof

[gloomy anvil]

Do the coordinates 0,0 look visually like eyes?

Like Rob using 0v0 for an Ascii owl in T3

[gloomy anvil]

In this scenario, if I had to place something at the center, it'd be X or zero/0,0/null

[dull marsh]

Yeah I'm so afraid we might be missing something "obvious" like that

[steel totem]

hi i know this isnt related but im wondering who is this tv scruid guy june and scotty keep on mentioning? im so confused

[dull marsh]

He is a player like us (ttv_scruy I believe), he is just highlighted because of some stuff he did last season, but EMBARK™️ has said those comments are much more frequent than intended

[steel totem]

oh snap thats sick thanks

[heavy mantle]

I think he might be the top contributor for the steals in the last minute of the match community challenge last season.

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah no clue what to do with it yet. #1252315342328565760 thread is where it’s at.

[normal crow]

It's something in the game? And did we get rewards if we solved it?

[shy oracle]

since we're on the topic of Kyoto and Rob has mentioned that clues are spread throughout the seasons/maps and I thought, Jack and the Beanstalk would mean a reaaally tall beanstalk.

At the very top of the very tall pagoda in Kyoto the antennae looks like a beanstalk, no?

The 4 sides don't line up NESW exactly. it's offset entirely

[shy oracle]

nevermind actual photographs of the Yasaka Pagoda (which this is modeled after) shows this is just a 1:1 rendition 🙂

#1318635922350149736 message in response to this to keep that thread from going too off topic. Did we ever officially agree on what we call “the first image?”

[dull marsh]

I think the first image is DISSUN one

It was in response to a message about this image specifically

AND we didn't find that many clues in it, so it checks out

[gloomy anvil]

You mean power_i_power?

[dull marsh]

Perhaps William X is interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_X%2C_Duke_of_Aquitaine 🤔

[dull marsh]

powe_i_powe

[gloomy anvil]

I definitely disagree here. I think Rob used powe_i_powe to call us back to the actual first image, which is I_Want_to, because that's where the 9 original clues are. Also, this reasoning: #1318635922350149736 message

[crisp eagle]

Ok. I get confused with how cryptic he gets. Because in context for us that would not have been first seeing as we didn’t know about a second one yet. The Vaiiya image

This as well. “Baby steps to the already found clues.” But if powe_i_powe was “first” then how could they be steps to the “already found” clues we hadn’t found yet

Sorry to bring it up for discussion again haha I just feel we didn’t all agree yet and it kinda got swept under the rug. I’m with Raid here. I believe that “I want to” was the first image with 9 clues

[dull marsh]

In 1637, René Descartes "invented the convention of representing unknowns in equations by x, y, and z, and knowns by a, b, and c"

In mathematics, x is commonly used as the name for an independent variable or unknown value. The modern tradition of using x, y, and z to represent an unknown (incognita) was introduced by René Descartes in La Géométrie (1637). As a result of its use in algebra, X is often used to represent unknowns in other circumstances (e.g. X-rays, Generation X, The X-Files, and The Man from Planet X).

Interesting to have a mention of botany

In art or fashion, the use of X indicates a collaboration by two or more artists, e.g. Aaron Koblin x Takashi Kawashima. This application, which originated in Japan, now extends to other kinds of collaboration outside the art world. This usage mimics the use of a similar mark in denoting botanical hybrids, for which scientifically the multiplication × is used, but informally, a lowercase "x" is also used.

[gloomy anvil]

Looking back at this message from Rob, he says all tiers and levels can be solved with just their first image, but it's difficult, and so subsequent images make it easier. #easter-eggs message

Under the presumption that I_Want_to.png was our first Level 3 image, here's a list of clues and leads we received from it. In bold are those that subsequent Level 3 clues have put extra attention on. The list item ladders aren't one-way, they can be read in either direction.

• Black Knight debris
  • STS-88
    • 88
      • X
      • Radium (Ra)
        • Ra (deity)
          • Egypt
  • Aliens / conspiracy
• Black Knight (character / Arthurian)
  • Monty Python and the Holy Grail
    • White Rabbit
      • Alice in Wonderland
        • Rabbit hole / burrow
        • L. Carroll
    • T. Gilliam
  • Jabberwocky (1977)
    • L. Carroll
    • T. Gilliam
  • The Dark Knight
    • July 25, 2008
    • Joker
• "I_Want_to"
  • The X-Files: I Want to Believe
    • X
    • July 25, 2008
    • Aliens / conspiracy
    • Twin Peaks
• 19 helmet rivets
  • 19
• 3 dents in triangle shape
  • Thirds
• 14XX0176XX0002XX 23XXX0176XX0002XXX
  • N XX ° XX 0002 XX W XXX ° XX 0002 XXX
    • Coordinates
    • NW / North West
• Sun lens flares
  • Sun

The same type of list applied to Tier 3 and its two first images (with the hindsight of knowing the password). While it doesn't make the solution obvious, grounding ourselves in the first image helps to identify many of the core themes we needed.

• Question mark
• Gold
• Egg
• RGB 6,6,6
  • 6
• November 5, 2015
  • NYT crossword
    • Caesar
      • Roman / Latin
    • The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs
  • June 11, 2015 (mirrored)
    • J. B. Burnell receives Gold Medal
• 1149x635
  • }{
    • Mirroring

---

How to apply the current bold themes to solve Level 3, I have no idea

But it's a helpful way of looking at things.

[dull marsh]

The whole Sun/Ra seemed correct, not sure if it just led to obelisks and Central Park or if we're missing something else

Wait why }{? In the image it's {VAIIYA}

[gloomy anvil]

That's for the first T3 images. Their dimensions were 1149x635, which with a modulus of 128 (ascii table size), converts to }{

It was never confirmed by Rob, but I think it's our only theory for the image dimensions.

[dull marsh]

You can add STS-88 = Radium 88 = Ra

[gloomy anvil]

Indirect connection to 19 too. I expect this was already put together but

• Black Knight playing card (S1 trailer) -> Cards -> Tarot cards
• 19th tarot card = Sun
• STS-88 -> 88 -> Radium (Ra) -> Ra, Egyptian deity of the Sun
• and Abishemu -> Egypt

[dull marsh]

• RZR 1911 = 19th tarot card + 11 year cycle = Sun

[rugged breach]

We also have the XYRR1X2 framework from the twitch hints

[dull marsh]

I'm afraid about those clues tho, because if they're very cryptic then the chances of them being misleading becomes pretty high 🤔

[rugged breach]

Which is supposedly an easy one to figure out

[gloomy anvil]

STS-88 mission duration

[dull marsh]

1847 perhaps

[sharp flame]

image from the Twitter account. Probably nothing but just uploading the highest-quality version for analysis just in case!

[eternal violet]

"I want to" doesnt really need to refer to the movie, "I want to believe" was a poster that appeared in the tv series

[sharp flame]

For sure! but the movie is directly connected, for a few reasons

The movie, for example, released on the same week as The Dark Knight did

[sharp flame]

There is a white mark in the top right (which isn't part of the right-hand text)

[gloomy anvil]

Same date (25/7/2008) for their respective US and UK releases, as you pointed out originally.

2008 being a clue from MultiCo_2008.gif

[sharp flame]

the white mark is 22 pixels long

[hard current]

remember that time rob teased us about how we can pin like 2k meters away on the map?

look what was posted to reddit…

cash out got launched and stuck up there…

[unborn pilot]

I love this outline. So one thing I’m also thinking about. Rob seemed adamant on us solving burrw or at least figuring out the numbers and that X Marks the spot with the number 7. It’s a diamond clue but the X could be for L3

[alpine junco]

Wait

What if the “i” in the “i want to” image is telling us there is an “i” in the burrw gif

Not the image title but the one i spotted

[gloomy anvil]

Apollo 6, and STS-6, were both launched on April 4 of their respective years (1968 and 1983). Just an observation of the 404 theme and 6 theme.

[dull marsh]

STS-88 launched some payload which was part of the Hitchhiker program (abbreviated HH = 88... please do not google that tho 💀) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker_Program

[gusty timber]

Has anyone tried doing the dolphin easteregg on the Vaiiya SYS&HORIZON map?

[odd hemlock]

People still don't even know how it was triggered

[pure loom]

I think they probably mean the dolphins in the water, as opposed to the charm code.

[odd hemlock]

Oooh

[dull marsh]

So STS-88 launched the Unity module for the ISS

It has SATCAT no 25575, which can be translated into May 25th 1975

On that day there was a lunar eclipse who's totality lasted for 88 minutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1975_lunar_eclipse

Maybe the coordinates we have need to be looked in the context of a solar eclipse? 🤔

[gloomy anvil]

hm yeah it does look like 143.

If that's true, I'm kinda bewildered at the connection to 138 that then wouldn't be valid anymore. It'd be a huge coincidence. #easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

There are no coincidences... (THERE ARE A LOT)

[unkempt dune]

Iseul-T's logo animation may involve a subtle grid connection... similar to the grid seen with the glitches (not the greatest photo, but it works)

Vaiiya pushing p

[whole snow]

It is indeed same numbers I just checked

[fallen summit]

oh hell naw😂

[atomic rock]

In this situation it’s power, power is power

Therefore Vaiiya is pushing Dissun, meaning Dissun is better, egg solved

[fallen summit]

the red in the logo is a push to dissun

[atomic rock]

The red in the logo indicated that their fridge of a CEO can’t run without Dissun

[whole snow]

The red in the logo somehow indicates that the CEO is super hot and you should invest in Vaiiya stocks

[fallen summit]

The red in the logo indicates their stock is in the red and going down

good morning @sweet thistle 🙂

[sweet thistle]

Taken care of, thanks for the ping!

[crisp eagle]

Which X is he talking about there?

[dull marsh]

The ❌ emoji is called "Cross mark"

Character U+274C, could be a temperature 274°C

There is also color Pantone 274C which reminds me of the blue background on C64

Technically Celcius scale used to be inverted, so 274°C would be less than 1 degree away from absolute zero

[dull marsh]

Searching Mark gospel, it starts by talking about John the Baptist, which we suspect might be the one illustrated in the background of #1318635922350149736

[fresh quiver]

or inverted it would be close to 0 kelvin

[crisp eagle]

Gospel of Mark has 16 chapters 🤔

[dull marsh]

Just stumbled on the "Sea of Galilee" (located in Israel), I don't know if Galileo's name is related in any way to that region, but it's too suspicious for me not to mention it 😄

Not sure if all gospels tell the full story of Jesus or not, but Mark 16 is about his resurrection, which is basically what we celebrate at Easter

This might be a clue to look deeper into Easter in itself

[crisp eagle]

It means “man from Galilee”

Yea all four have the resurrection. Depending on what you’d mean by the full story, they all have it for the most part. Some have differences. Mainly just events that another gospel might not mention. Like The Sermon on the Mount I believe is only mentioned in Matthew

[eternal violet]

probably these https://www.reachthefinals.com/devoncrossing level 1 pages had red crosses and also the level 2 page

[gloomy anvil]

International Geocaching logo

Pointed out in 2022 I'm sure but worth the reminder

The first published extraterrestrial geocache was GC1BE91, which was placed on the International Space Station by Richard Garriott in 2008.

[crisp eagle]

Wait this message was a response to someone saying we need to actually go to places in the meatspace for the hunt. Dude.

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah

[crisp eagle]

And that message had been eyed. That’s scary haha

So we’ve all gotta “dox” ourselves so we can know who is closest to certain physical locations to check for clues. Great

[dull marsh]

Maybe we have some codes which are geocache IDs but we just didn't look that up yet

Tbf Rob has confirmed for this level we need to find some IRL stuff

👆 This was eyed 👀

And yeah we've had some VERY STRONG geocache clues in Level 1

[rugged breach]

It would be incredibly funny if rob waited for the google maps car to do its rounds and stood holding a sign with some cryptic hint towards the neext step

[dull marsh]

William the Conqueror, in french is Guillaume le Conquérant, which could be abbreviated GC (like geocache) 🤔

Searching for STS88 it redirects to 5T588 which is a geocache in Norway https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5T588_bergum-duna-12

[crisp eagle]

Wild. I don’t know anything about geocaching. So that’s like a directory in a way with “item numbers?”

And there’s an app. Of course there’s an app

[dull marsh]

The IDs used to be GC#### with a 4-character long hex number, now they've switched to GCXXXXX with 5 letter+numbers (so 34-cimal :D)

There is one called "Embark" lol, doesn't seem related tho https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6FEB3

Except the ID 6FEB3 could be a date I guess

[crisp eagle]

It also shows who placed the cache. Let’s say he did do this, I wonder if he would even use the same name on there. Or maybe there’s even a clue we’ve got that would lead to what his name would be on geocaching

[dull marsh]

Yup, I'm sure there is quite a few connections to geocaches that we didn't find yet, so it's worth investigating anyway

[crisp eagle]

Now I’m just going to try breaking everything down to 5 digits 😂

[dull marsh]

5 characters* 😄

[rugged breach]

It was one of the earlist connections iirc. I do wonder if it was meant for level 3 or there's been ones that would help with 2 that we can retroactively find

How I imagine it would go is having the listing itself reveal some information with the cache itself having a treasure trove of hints if you were to go grab it. That way it's not entirely locked to people in the area

[crisp eagle]

I could see that too. Probably even a couple Nama Tamas in there haha

Maybe there’s a GCBURRW

[dull marsh]

Couldn't find any

[dull marsh]

Remember that the whole EE hunt is interconnected, we are just not seeing the big picture yet

[crisp eagle]

Yea didn’t Rob say everything links somehow? So all of our passwords especially will be apart of each other

[dull marsh]

Level 1: THE COMMENCE - just telling us it's a treasure/geocache hunt
Level 2: THE PROMISE - telling us WHAT we're hunting (golden egg)
Level 3: THE HUNT - well...

[crisp eagle]

I’ve always wondered what those level names meant. That’s a good observation

[opal pond]

I think country of residence is enough, if we find where one is located a simple yes or no if the person of that country can go there should be good

[dull marsh]

Also to note, for each Geocache, the creator gives an additional "encrypted" clue, which uses caesar cipher

[crisp eagle]

Haha yea I was joking around. But for real if we find something close by me, I’ll be trying to get there 🫡

[crisp eagle]

Is it always a Caesar cipher?

[opal pond]

Yeah same here!

[dull marsh]

Seems like it yeah, maybe it's just a thing on this website tho tbh

There is this Blade Runner-related cache which is very close to the Walk in the Park restaurant https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8GCHX

[eternal violet]

we know what we're doing and what we're looking for, its safe to assume level 3 will give us the "WHERE" part in the form of coordinates

[hard current]

agreed

[dull marsh]

Yeah, if there is a level 4, I'd assume it leads to the final prize, and the level should be THE FINALE to mirror THE COMMENCE and the game's name

[gloomy anvil]

I like this interpretation

Commence + Promise + Hunt is 19 letters total

3 levels, 19 letters

19 into 3 parts, like the activation

[crisp eagle]

It makes me wonder if each MW.Area will have 19 characters total between the 3 passwords

[unborn pilot]

Indeed. And he also told us Namatama likes to vacation in 3 places X, X & X. #easter-eggs message

[crisp eagle]

That makes me think of the gold Nama Tamas hidden in-game too though. Too many dang 3’s haha

[unborn pilot]

100% what I thought too but he’s also quite good with hints that have 2 or more like…3 meanings 😆

[eternal violet]

wouldnt surprise me if the team hidden some golden eggs in las vegas, monaco and seoul while collecting references

whats funny is that las vegas, monaco and seoul are 19 letters combined

[crisp eagle]

Between Stephen King books and this hunt, I’m going to see 19 everywhere forever

[keen ravine]

we only have one school on sys right?

[unborn pilot]

Is the rain variant much more common now? I feel like I’ve had several times in the past week. There was the idea the jacket with this X was tied to Vegas.

[crisp eagle]

Something I was talking about with Frosty last week was how no matter what variant you get on SYS, all of the ground looks like it’s wet from rain. I don’t know if that’s something. But I feel the ground looks like that on other levels too no matter the variant.

[unborn pilot]

Haha he said ofc a lot and 0fc = 252 = RSR (the missing letters in Power is Power) @hard current @dull marsh

[sharp flame]

isn't.. that.. morse?

sorry did we solve this one yet, I just saw this @dull marsh

[opal pond]

Where do you see morse?

[sharp flame]

the edge.. it's pretty obvious when you see it

[opal pond]

Ohh the outer ring ?

[sharp flame]

yes

is it not 😭?

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah that looks like morse

[opal pond]

It looks like morse, but i see a lot of repetition

Like …-.. …—.
For example

[sharp flame]

it repeats once every 2 FINALS logos

[opal pond]

The line is longer on some parts and its shorter with a . Added in is what I meant

[sharp flame]

_..._......_.._..

OR

..._.._.._..._...

but the way I see it, the player and the cashout are not supposed to be standing next to each other

so I think the second one is how it goes

[opal pond]

Yeah hes throwing it into the station I think

[sharp flame]

https://morsecode.world/international/translator.html good luck

_..._......_.._.. - 1

..._.._.._..._... - 2

[crisp eagle]

Gotta remember there are two types of Morse code too

[sharp flame]

explain

[crisp eagle]

There’s American Morse code (railroad Morse) which is what Morse actually made and used. Then there is International Morse code

You’ll have different results depending on which one you’re using

[dull marsh]

1 can mean NEED SAFE or NEED OYE M 🤔

[sharp flame]

by the way I want to give full credit to @slim harbor who spotted this, who nobody replied to

This might help us out 👀 a lot

[crisp eagle]

“Need to open your eyes more” -Rob

[crisp eagle]

Haha looks like we were pretty active that day. Happens a lot when we all start dumping info

[sharp flame]

not to dig up more unsolved/solved things.. BUT

can someone remember if we ever did anything with this in the keyarts?

it's been a while since it started appearing

[dull marsh]

Seems like morse/binary

That's where my analysis ends

Still no ISEUL-T keyart

[fresh quiver]

YES.

[sharp flame]

ty

[fresh quiver]

G=6

I remember we struggled with this one when I joined the hunt

[sharp flame]

oh dearie me

I don't even remember my own solves 😭

half of the things I bring up I'm like "did we solve this" and then it was ME 😭

I need a break

[fresh quiver]

Yeah then I remembered correctly that you even solved it 😂

[sharp flame]

sorry haha

it was in November ok

november 1.1 years ago okok

[gloomy anvil]

If the golden Nama Tamas are in these arenas in-game (already found one in Monaco), that'd line up with North America, Europe, and Asia, like from the S5 keyart clues.

[keen ravine]

in sandstorm?

and construction?

[alpine junco]

The one on monaco was under a rock
Vegas could be under the sand
Kyoto could be in the streams

[gloomy anvil]

Places where 19 letters are split into 3 parts:

• slies cetacea asconce
• commence promise hunt
• las vegas monaco seoul

S5 keyart clue: Land arenas of North America, Europe, and Asia, each only 1/3 visible.

NA: Vegas, EU: Monaco, Asia: Seoul - possibly relevant arenas or golden Nama Tama locations?

[snow walrus]

wanted to share it, still not found

[alpine junco]

Trying örf.com and it doesnt even load

[snow walrus]

I think it's hidden under a website that already exist. He says örf-page there

[alpine junco]

Was trying the url in the photo he sent

[dull marsh]

I would expect them all to be there at launch, thus Monaco, Vegas and Seoul

[gloomy anvil]

#1211002564015824906 message

[sharp flame]

wait did I miss the S5 keyart clue you're talking about

haha can you explain that one

[keen ravine]

duck and cover, construction, sandstorm are my guesses

the all change the map

[sharp flame]

crap thanks

sick find, super buried lol

I saw that Raid

Okay

what I am getting is
the Level 3 "answer" has 3 parts

Each of the 3 parts is something different, like Gold and Egg last tier

so, there are 3 branches of passwords.

The Monaco monkeys / Monkey Island / asconce is ONE of the branches, and has it's own 3 passwords

the Dolphins/cetacea is ANOTHER branch with 3 passwords

and then the Matrix / White Rabbits / slies is the other branch

[gloomy anvil]

'X-Citing Discovery' sticker is shaped like an S, the 19th letter https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1289459770063065088/1289459775498883125/IMG_20240928_120959.png?ex=677187bf&is=6770363f&hm=c69dea7ba0be44b273e47fc2fa19f15262cec8afd98f0d5a58be826bcf232a23&

It has 1 X and 9 dashes

[sharp flame]

the order seems to be

Europe North America Asia

[gloomy anvil]

In Rob's Level 2 activation message, the hidden zero is the 19th character of "GOOOO.." #easter-eggs message

[unborn pilot]

19 is also switched on the roulette table on Vegas

[sharp flame]

World Map.

MMA ==> Millimeter Array

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

Europe North America Asia

? possible that MMA actually means Millimeter Array and we were right?

If these 3 were in Europe, NA and Asia.. that means SYS$Horizon is in NA

[unborn pilot]

Do you have a link to that summary list with everything 19 and other L3 stuff? Maybe we should get that pinned in the Hunt thread

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. And the order could be mirrored for next set like you said, so Europe (Monaco monkeys) being Area 1.

[gloomy anvil]

I'm not aware of one list with all the 19 connections combined with Level 3, unless you mean this: #easter-eggs message

I've been keeping the wiki up to date though. All Level 3 clues and themes are documented: https://thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_Three:_The_Hunt

[sharp flame]

The thing is, the activation page is in the EE release order, and so is the password

we might want to take the more recent clues as the ACTUAL order

OR the geographical Left-to-Right: North America | | Europe | | Asia

[unborn pilot]

Yes that. Thought it had more 19, but ty so I can save it. Also amazing you’re updating the wiki. I will 100% use that.

[unborn pilot]

Yeah. Good to keep both options in mind.

[sharp flame]

all 3..

the geographical locations lining up on the map work even better on the page itself

smack dab on NA, Europe, Asia

[unborn pilot]

True true. Rob said that the graphic was made last minute but maybe he did that to help us

[sharp flame]

he might've had the idea for the graphic a LONG time ago just made it quickly when he needed to

but I see what you mean

[gloomy anvil]

It's probably worth noting what 19/3 actually equals

[sharp flame]

G.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[gloomy anvil]

I thought it was 66.3 for a sec, like 663 / GGE / EGG, but sadly no

63 was a theme in T3 though, since 63 = ?

You could hear "GEEEEEE" as the letter "G"

Rob has used "GGT" = "GE GE TE" before, meaning 63 6E 73 = CNS, but seems far off

[late girder]

Oh shit havent checked in on the EE in a while

How we doing

[fresh quiver]

depends when you checked in the last time 😄

[crisp eagle]

I'm also convinced that the golden eggs, whether directly connected to L3 or not, are on Monaco (found), Las Vegas, and Kyoto. With the unfound eggs being Raoul Duke and a Samurai.

[low escarp]

lost legacy lead us to one of them soo

[hard forge]

this and this

[low escarp]

the namatama with glasses was in a desart so maybe sandstorm
lost legacy also needed a specific map variant

[low escarp]

S for sand

[storm horizon]

is there any secret in the reflection of the eyes?

[crisp eagle]

what was this again? a sticker?

[low escarp]

spray

[gloomy anvil]

Looks like the default reflection space, you can see it clearer here

[dull marsh]

I think Seoul is much more likely, we were supposed to be done with T3 before launch and could have cracked level 3 animation as soon as S2 launch

It makes more sense to have both at launch, rather than 2 at launch and a third one 2 seasons later

[crisp eagle]

Ok yea I agree with that. If the golden Nama Tamas are directly related to L3, which it's looking like they probably are. It just seems so weird to put a samurai in South Korea. Could have been intended to point us to Kyoto had we found it before S3 though.

[dull marsh]

Looking it up, Korea had an equivalent of samurai, so it could actually fit there too 😄

[crisp eagle]

I didn't know that haha that's interesting. Plus samurai did invade Korea so that would make sense there too

[fresh quiver]

we still have the "new" lost legacy

[fallen jasper]

Have we used any of the padlets in the last few months?

I'm gonna cancel it soon since I think we've largely moved over to Ludo's Miro at this point.

[fresh quiver]

I think @velvet narwhal recreated most of them.

but would need confirmation

[dull marsh]

I think we should go over them and make sure we got all the important stuff

Would suck to lose some of it

[crisp eagle]

I don't think I've ever even seen the padlet haha I assumed ya'll stopped using that long before I got here

[fallen jasper]

It just becomes uneditable if I stop paying for it

They don't delete them

[fresh quiver]

then go for it

Message was red. but havent said anywhere that it was not sent. lol

[woeful cipher]

Somehow reminds me of the Kyoto

[unborn pilot]

Some notes added there. Slowly going thru old stuff especially anything that wasn’t used and might be for L3

[crisp eagle]

I wonder if it's displaying a three sided "pyramid." Usually whenever I'm working with prints, it'll split the object up so you can see different angles. Any solid line would indicate an object (like an edge) comings towards you. A dashed line indicates there is something on the other side that you can't see from the current view.

[unborn pilot]

That’s a possibility. The dashed line is something I noticed too and intrigued me as it’s very specific to the second two triangles. But why would the other dot be P3 and not P1 as well then? Also why is P2 missing? So many questions (in general)

[crisp eagle]

oh wait yea that's a good question. if it was a single object, it would be one p ( i assume point?), not 3. hmmm

[crisp eagle]

I was looking through the miro master board and noticed this on the MultiCo Correspondence. I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but that blacked out word looks like "pyramid" to me. So I looked up pyramid and nautical and found out that ships have been discovered under pyramids called Solar Barques.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khufu_ship
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_barque

"Khufu or Cheops (died c. 2566 BC) was an ancient Egyptian monarch who was the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, in the first half of the Old Kingdom period (26th century BC). Khufu succeeded his father Sneferu as king. He is generally accepted as having commissioned the Great Pyramid of Giza"
died 2566 BC. 2 + 5 + 6 + 6 = 19. I need sleep haha

[dull marsh]

Did we mention this one yet?

I dont think so

Yeah that's apparently a bug that happens every once in a while, sometimes you can also see dead bodies that didn't turn into coins 😅

[keen ravine]

the void consumes all

[rugged breach]

Would be a sick interactive ee next time cns glitches out a map (if we ever solved it)

[zenith stump]

We need a way to load into maps privately while solo or less than three, removing time limits, etc I don't think an interactive EE would be good for normal queued gameplay unless it was only available in a private no time limit type of situation

You don't need three though, 2 are enough

A clue on the door frame. Just seen it now

Binary string and also 7/8 boxes coloured in white. And a company trademark

@gloomy anvil ^

The trademark is curious

theoretically "/p" or "^p"

He also played in The Crawling Eye which has a big eye on it's cover (probably a rabbit hole) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052320/

[dusk veldt]

Doorframe is of interest

[dull marsh]

Have we actually looked into the binary codes asociated with VAIIYA?

MindWall is MW

[unborn pilot]

Full string simply translates to Series 6000.

[unborn pilot]

I did when I saw them. They seem to be numbers as binary cause they’re typically round and large

Also 13 binary digits which means you can’t evenly split it into a string of sorts

[unborn pilot]

Good catch.

Now flip it and we got WindMall 😂

[hard current]

starting to feel that familiar tickle of no forward progress that EATS ME ALIVE

[unborn pilot]

nah, quite the opposite. it was very very quiet for long periods while you were gone. we have A LOT to solve now

fair.. I guess PERSONALLY I can’t seem to figure any of it out yet

been quiet simply because I haven’t had anything to add as of late 🥹

back ON TOPIC then @hard current if you're bored look at official art and tell me which images seem to "fit together". there's a lot more stuff to find in the pictures if we layer the correct ones.

[hard current]

I could try in gimp

[unborn pilot]

awesome, before you try random ones though, look at them normally...there should be "obvious" similarities to indicate pic 1 goes with pic 2 and so on.

then you start messing with them in gimp

but....

it's not updated since a month

[dull marsh]

I would recommend starting with RockhoundBlack easter-egg playlist, there is a lot to cover but in the hunt everything is related so it's not a bad thing to have all the ideas a bit in mind

And then for a more visual version, the Miro board should give a good summary of most levels

[dusk shell]

A youtube playlist?

[crisp eagle]

Beyond the walls. The MindWall

[unkempt dune]

I like this thought a lot

beyond the MindWall sounds like a good lore path

[alpine junco]

Wouldnt the MindWall be the Blood Brain Barrier

🤔

[unkempt dune]

you mean the 3 Bs (Blood Brain Barrier, BBB) known as freebies?

(that's a pun for anyone confused)

[alpine junco]

[crisp eagle]

I was thinking like Vaiiya’s chips make a wall around your mind, limiting your capacity. And CNS wants us to get beyond those “walls.” But yea Atsuhiro is right, that’s more lore than EE

[shy oracle]

that's actually a really sick thought

imo that's probably the best theory there is given that we're on the path that CNS probably means central nervous system

[crisp eagle]

Yea that’s what stuck out to me when watching Waterdance’s stream yesterday. MindWall. Central Nervous System. Wait a minute…🤯

Shoot I’ll sling a message in lore. See what those cats think. I’m not over there much

[dull marsh]

Gotta remember that all those brands exist outside of the gameshow in THE FINALS™️

Some only apply to VR there, but it's much much broader than the game

So depending on who owns the VR-verse, CNS might be attacking bigger than just MultiCo

[dull marsh]

STS-88 started the ISS by docking Unity to Zarya

Zarya means "sunrise" (official translation), can also mean dawn/sunset/...

I have a theory that this IS simply an ssh key, however, we need a hostname and a username to login to with it

ssh -i "C:\PathToPrivateKeyFile\PrivateKey" user@hostname

this command could be used, the key would have to be stored in the format above in a key file (not a txt file)

user would be something like "Ubuntu" or "admin" or something like that, hostname would be an ip address or a domain name

[ember crater]

is this tfee lvl3?

[gloomy anvil]

We're currently on Level 3 yeah. If you mean the key devx posted above, that was from Level 2 Tier 3, but it could still be relevant since we never found out what it means.

[hard current]

rob is it not a cipher key we need but a domain to connect to? please tell me before I do anything accidentally illegal 🥹

[gloomy anvil]

A jug marked with "XXX" typically represents the liquor Moonshine. Each X indicates a completed stage of the distillation process.
https://www.uncommongoods.com/blog/2013/uncommon-knowledge-moonshine-jugs-marked-xxx/

In 2013, moonshine accounted for about one-third of global alcohol consumption.

Just reminds me of thirds. Getting the moon involved also reminds me of "one night, three dawns" as possibly representing a whole (the night) being made up of 3 parts.

[gloomy anvil]

• Michael Maestlin was an astronomer and mentor who had significant influence on Johannes Kepler. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Maestlin
• The first known calculation of the (inverse) golden ratio as a decimal, approximately 0.6180340, was made by Maestlin in 1597. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio
• He included the golden ratio calculation in a letter to Kepler about the Kepler triangle. According to some authors, a "golden pyramid" with a doubled Kepler triangle as its cross-section accurately describes the design of Egyptian pyramids such as the Great Pyramid of Giza. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kepler_triangle
• Maestlin witnessed the supernovas SN 1572 and SN 1604 (Kepler's supernova), the latter on October 9, 1604. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kepler's_Supernova
• Maestlin was one of the few astronomers of the 16th century to fully embrace the Copernican hypothesis, which proposed that the Earth was a planet that moved around the Sun.
• Maestlin also contributed to Galileo's acceptance of heliocentrism.

Not saying Maestlin is an actual destination in the hunt, but he has some connections.

rcade and I have been digging around in a lot of old cns stuff

there are 9 CNSs hidden in this whole image (the one with the toppled statue, was posted on reddit)

you can make out very faintly in this one something is hidden there (near top left corner of full image in the bright white space)

let me know if anyone else can maybe see the stylized C in there…

or.. if anyone wants to give a crack at it and try to reveal more

also, found a lot of funny stuff regarding the cns images all having corresponding pieces that line up perfectly when you layer them

[rugged breach]

Completely forgot about the cns pics, good shout!

Another one becomes extremely overlaid in a difference blending mode over #official-art message

Given the screen effect my mind immediately went to it, also connects in various other points

[rugged breach]

080 between the N and the S, best seen in subtract mode

[alpine junco]

Oh damn thats old

I forgot what we even got from that image

[rugged breach]

It's the one with the pixel shifts on the top right (did we ever solve these?), e^iπ + I = 0 and definitely more I'm forgetting as well

Oh yeah this too

[dull marsh]

The issue is that this is not a valid RSA key 😭

[dull marsh]

Yeah the pixel shift we solved, I don't remember what it was tho

[alpine junco]

Wasnt it 0v0?

[eternal violet]

yep, Minerva -> owl -> 0v0

[fresh quiver]

i dont remember every clue again we had to this images.

just noticed the code ive found is the second part of our SSH key thing

[dull marsh]

oh gotcha

[hard current]

yes but now look at all the cns images with the CMYK color scheme, they all fit together one way or another, even the soundtrack cover image

[crisp eagle]

This current topic y’all are discussing is about finding the clues he’s hidden online somewhere, right? I won’t be of any help, because I have almost no computer science knowledge, just want to be able to kinda follow what’s going on haha I don’t even know what an SSH key is. Am dumb

[eternal violet]

the clues rob said he hid online somewhere are a different thing

there was a big string in the art that rob said needs a cipher key, but some people are convinced you need to use the string to login into remote server

[hard current]

SSH key = a way to authorize and connect yourself to a server (domain name like a website or ip address) without needing a password or account setup

[crisp eagle]

Oh ok thanks haha I now see why you hesitated and said “before I accidentally do something illegal” hahaha

[crisp eagle]

Ok thanks. I thought maybe everyone was trying to log into something because that was possibly where the hidden stuff is. If that makes sense.

Yeah - I get you and it'd be a nice addition. I was just saying that in case you didn't knew you don't need 2 others to start a private game

I know some hunters mentioned Arthurian literature but noone did the I.Jones connection before i think

what's this?

[normal crow]

i want to send a pic

[fresh quiver]

upload it to imgur and then send the link here. Its the easiest way since you havent wrote enough messages yet, to post a image here yourself

[normal crow]

thanks

[manic venture]

Is it just a pot without a plant in it?

[normal crow]

zoom on the light on the pot

u can try it with ur self u will see

[manic venture]

Ah I'm seeing it now, did a bit of photo editing that makes it a bit easier to see https://imgur.com/a/F9uD3UY

The grid on it makes it a bit hard to tell for two of the symbols though

Happy New Year to the EE community

[shy oracle]

Cheers to the new year and may 2025 be a year of great discovery and solving easter eggs!

[dull marsh]

Yup, there are some characters on those lines, they very very likely have some Easter Egg meaning but we got no idea what 😅

[manic venture]

Is there still a reason to hunt for EE on syshorizon since the dolphins have been solved or should we be focused elsewhere?

[opal pond]

There could still be stuff on sys horizon we dont know about. And there is a #1315046366417915994 we have yet to find

[manic venture]

Ah interesting I hadn't found out about the secret room yet.

[opal pond]

If you’re in this channel, and in the top right click the threads icon you can find everything we know of

Im on mobile so it looks a bit different but this is the icon you should look for

[manic venture]

Sweet thanks, a lot easier than what I was doing

[fresh quiver]

Ask and you will be helped. Works everytime like a charm here

[gloomy anvil]

like a dolphin charm?

[fresh quiver]

probably like a canon charm we havent found or solved 😄 (atleast I guess we would have got a charm from the cannons)

[dull marsh]

630 (=GEO) is the sum of six consecutive primes (97 + 101 + 103 + 107 + 109 + 113)

[crisp eagle]

man i thought everyone here already knew this because of all the ready player one references we make haha

is that detail not mentioned in the movie? i read the book, and only sort of watched the movie

[normal crow]

Hmm 🤔

[dull marsh]

I was not aware of the Fisher-King part, although it may have been mentioned already 😄

[crisp eagle]

Same on the Kin-Fisher part. I guess that was the focus of that post huh haha waking up late and my brain is foggy still 🫡

[gloomy anvil]

I was reading about Ophelia in case Rob's T3 clue had any extra meaning #easter-eggs message

Ophelia (1851-52) is a famous painting of the character by John Everett Millais. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophelia_(painting) Looking into the artist, he also painted The North-West Passage (1874). The pilot episode of Twin Peaks also uses the Northwest Passage for its name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_North-West_Passage

There's also an asteroid called "171 Ophelia" named after the character. In 2006, was observed to have a rotation period of 6.6666 ± 0.0002 hours. (old T3 clue?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/171_Ophelia

[fresh quiver]

just stumble over this again after Raids last Message.

why does this look kind of familiar for me? Atleast some things we found might fit into this

[opal pond]

We can bruteforce it, although we would need an incredible amount of time and we have no clue when a cannon was fired in the right order

@rancid rapids this is a roblox cheat injector (probably littered with malware / cookie loggers too)

[gloomy anvil]

I know it was a while ago, but did Rob mention anything else at all about the cannons at TwitchCon?

[opal pond]

he mightve sneaked something in during another conversation. But about the cannons specifically he said that there was indeed something with them but that we dont have the info on them yet (this was june so we MIGHT have found something since then)

[gloomy anvil]

did he specifically say to fire them in a certain order, or is that your theory?

I don't mean to be interrogating you

[opal pond]

Yes he did say something about a certain order

But we dont have the info on that order yet

[gloomy anvil]

oke nice

[opal pond]

There are 7 cannons right?

Wait no

5

I forgot

[rugged breach]

Brute forcing's actually within the realm of possibility, a 5 digit code would take tens of thousands but a 5 sequence order's a bit over 100 combinations

One person per cannon, with B and C being the same one, we'd need 4 people to minimise movement

That's assuming there's no lockout/cooldown mechanic to them that we don't know about though

And also some way to know if we got the right one, similar to the dolphins

[hard forge]

food for thought..
black knight > Endeavour> STS 88 > ??

is STS 88 a part of cypher?

[fresh quiver]

rob has not eyed the assembly begin of the ISS yet. Neither the modules it carried

STS apparently could also mean Station-to-Station protocol

[hard forge]

STS 88 in leet = 57588

don't know where it leads to

[opal pond]

I noticed that sometimes the cannon that shoots off the map actually hits the speakers on the pillar its aiming at. Other times it misses.

It could have a spread?
But what if this indicates the correct cannon?

Cannon A 7 NE

[gloomy anvil]

and then

[fresh quiver]

would be fun if the location of this X would be the right location that get eyed 😂

[rugged breach]

In that case we're adding the variable of "do cannons need to hit somethig specific", bringing into question whether the ones that point into the map need a clear sightline as well

Still doable 🤔

[gloomy anvil]

seems somebody did a bit of connecting for us

To put it into text here,

"White Rabbit" is a song by Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane also released "Somebody to Love", which plays during a scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) set in a club called 'The Matrix'. The film was directed by Terry Gilliam and was hinted to back in Closed Beta.

The Matrix was an IRL club in San Fransisco that Jefferson Airplane music played at. In 2018 it was remodeled and renamed by new owners to the White Rabbit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_(club)

[snow walrus]

William the conquerer also have a secondary connection to Percival.
Percival <- York, England <- William

[gloomy anvil]

You could interpret Rob's heart clues as pointing to "love" and thus "somebody to love" too

[autumn barn]

might not be at all relevant, but i sent a message back in season 2 i think about the cannons and some of their real world lore. dunno if this matters or if its been solved already but it might be useful. “"The last time the Monaco cannons were heard across the whole Principality was on December 10, 2014, around 8 pm. Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were born. Usually, the birth of a boy who would be first in line to the throne would call for 101 shots, with 21 for a girl. That night, 42 shots were fired. The Princely Couple had announced they would be breaking with tradition, so as not to make a difference between the twins." - https://www.monaco-tribune.com/en/2024/01/discover-the-history-of-monacos-cannons-from-the-17th-century-to-the-present-day/”

2014 is also the year the map is set

[rugged breach]

Oooooh good stuff

[gloomy anvil]

I'm thinking "MW.AREA #1" is Las Vegas, the USA, or NA as a whole, and each password is based on an IRL location there, like for instance The Matrix club, which we'd arrive at from the AiW clues, The Matrix film clues and Terry Gilliam -> Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas clues.

The idea that each MW.AREA is associated with Las Vegas (NA), Monaco (EU), Seoul (AS) is (as already pointed out) backed up by the golden Nama Tamas. We find them by following treasure maps to the X, one of which is on Monaco. This is what Indie says not to do (but is disproven) and Rob has given us Indiana Jones -> X marks the spot clues before.

We know IRL locations are involved somehow based on this message: #1211002564015824906 message

Rob has said Nama Tamas go on holiday to three locations: "X, X, X"

Most of this has been said before but it feels like it slots into place. The parts I'm unsure about are the five coordinates. They could of course point to the "Five Points" gang and all the NYC connections, with Kepler's Croker painting that Rob eyed. Those could either muddy the theory above, or they could point to their own IRL location that makes another password.

I'm rambling at this point

[autumn barn]

all good, looks like good stuff

also found this which looks interesting but probably not important: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmLZtpldSmA

[errant imp]

Isn't Elaine a character from Monkey Island?

[gloomy anvil]

Yes, Elaine (after being turned into a golden statue) is what the "All eyes open, X marks the spot" treasure map leads to in Curse of Monkey Island.

[gloomy anvil]

The Matrix club was located on 3138 Fillmore Street in Cow Hollow, San Francisco.

Fillmore Street is also known for "the Triangle", which is where Fillmore meets Greenwich street. Triangle is an infamous area, describing 3 corners of the intersection with the bars Balboa Cafe, East Side West, and City Tavern.

Thinking back to possible pyramid clues and the 3 dents in a triangle shape on Nama's helmet. Not the strongest connection here but one to point out.
