the miro board

[robust junco]

?

Where thay

That*

[fading vigil]

You’re in the internet. So, just ignore this. If you wanted a discussion- I gave you an answer why datamine is “bad”. Devs gave us EEs and rules. So, we play by the rules.

[silk wolf]

Also the top half of the Greek slave statues sound like metal

[alpine junco]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[fading vigil]

And, it’s like a cheating. I think, main point is “ee should be solvable by anyone”. For datamine - you should have skills. And, I think, ee solving from the BF series and miners - gave enough experience to make that rules

[hard forge]

I don't know the context but since I read the word "data mining"

Data mining knowledge is not supposed to be used for solving any kind of Easter eggs.
Do not ruin other people's fun.

[alpine junco]

im pretty sure they just looked up a poem w/o datamining

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah I don't know know why we share the miro board first. It probably turns more new people away than brings onboard.

Try the wiki. It's more reading but less overwhelming. https://thefinals.wiki/wiki/THE_FINALS_Easter_Egg_Hunt

[alpine junco]

posted it for the people who've been here for the past week or so. even i dont understand it and iv'e been here for over a year

[hard forge]

i wouldn't touch miro, I would go with something ez first.

so we have 2 major kind of EE,
one is the on going big whoop hunt and others are in game easter eggs,

like roses/dolphins/secret rooms/and ticket hunt.

The big whoop hunt has a lot of overhead.

[peak canopy]

miro is great when you already have a grasp of what things it’s talking about and how they were obtained. it’s a jumble of information that really hurt my experience when i first joined and just had people telling me to go there

[austere rover]

Big Oil, is there a higher resolution image of that diagram that you could share? It's really difficult to make out the smaller bits

[alpine junco]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria
two previous mentions of Catherine of Alexandria

"Her principal symbol is the spiked wheel, which has become known as the Catherine wheel, and her feast day is celebrated on 25 November by most denominations."

[hard forge]

search first in discord if your question is already answered

[alpine junco]

yes this, meant what i said in a humorous way not something to be serious about :p

[peak canopy]

also im almost positive the kyoto disk 22 easter egg is isolated and not any deeper than just being a reference to monkey island

[late onyx]

howdy howdy, any new leads as of late?

[fringe torrent]

was trying to search thru the threads but did a solution for the arcade puzzle end up getting found. I saw the tickets seemed to be found 🙂

[white patrol]

yeah I would recommend read wiki first as well c:

[fading vigil]

Did anyone dive in the rabbit hole of an idea that official art is posted on the “clue” dates?

[severe creek]

Tickets were all found, machines say "Ticket Hunt Complete" but no further leads about an actual conclusion as it felt very not finished by the end of it and it's implied that there could be up to 5 levels by Rob

[late onyx]

elaborate?

[fringe torrent]

thank you i might go looking then!

[severe creek]

For sure! Check out this thread for that specific map for everything related to what's been found so far https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1381733504718606496

[onyx hollow]

4xg4 join us!

[late onyx]

this is where i assumed a gold nama would be on sandstorm variant

my first guess anyway

[austere rover]

If it helps any, I heard once quite some time ago that someone saw it in the corner of a room that was filled with sand. I don't think it was a casino building, but I wouldn't rule it out

[late onyx]

will check it out

[peak canopy]

theres a lot of buildings on sandstorm too that have like, crawlspaces

[late onyx]

yup

[peak canopy]

because of the sand. tons of hidden compartments

[vagrant mauve]

I'm p sure we destroyed literally all of sandstorm Vegas and didn't see it... However, looking is the most important thing

[late onyx]

i think the corner buildinf away from everything else

Are there secrets in the Arc Raiders official art?

The trees have weird stuff with them but I'm not good at editing photos

[white patrol]

let's use #1368471596125392956 as an arc raiders discussion thread for now

[onyx hollow]

do we have any audio wizards in the EE channel that know their way around a spectrogram??? Pls hit me up!

[silk wolf]

I might be able to help

[hidden panther]

arent the dolphins already solved? we alr have the charm

[silk wolf]

I think there was two ways of doing it or they accidently triggered it without knowing how

[hidden panther]

try destroying them?

[hidden panther]

oh ok

[silk wolf]

Nothing so far

[hidden panther]

You mean you've tried it and nothing happened?

[low escarp]

man im disappointed with the ticket ee
not every EE has to have a reward but would be cool if finishing it would be noticable by other players if u do it in a quick cash or smthing like what if those pixelated fireworks were in the sky above the arcade and not just on the screens
rn if u do the EE in a live game no one would even know anything happened
or that fireworks screen as a playercard background would be cool

[severe creek]

I think the most likely chance is that it's not actually done, we just don't know where to go from here.

[low escarp]

i mean the screen say the hunt is complete and #1381733504718606496 message

[robust junco]

So do you guys know the room with a giant sunroof

If you stand on top and shoot the building across up in the sky
Every bullet turns into a firework

[severe creek]

Oh yeah, I know, I was there when it was done. What's keeping it open ended is Rob implying there's at least 5 lvls when somebody said something about the lvl 2 tickets being so small

[robust junco]

F or nect level they gotta be right next to arcade. Makes sense. No clues just hidden not to far from it

[low escarp]

ye its possible theres more

[severe creek]

Making sense of other EEs on Nozomi might help make the rest of it make sense tho

[low escarp]

also find 1 nozomi 2 citadell 3 both feels like its complete

if it was 1 nozomi 2 citadel 3 nozomi
then i would expect there to be 4 citadel

tbf i thought there would be 4lvl cuz its always 4 tickets

[late onyx]

what map?

[late onyx]

yes thats as far as we can get, iirc the full ee isnt completed yet

[robust junco]

Sys horizon

[late onyx]

interesting

[low escarp]

why do u think its not completed?

[late onyx]

i just remember a few people telling me that

so i suppose take it with a grain of salt

[late onyx]

this

[light breach]

The amount of ees being worked on rn is a lot, so I feel like any obvious clue we get will become overcomplicated or maybe misinterpreted. It's also becoming hard to know what ees are related to the main ee or the progressive ees. (I'm new to the ee community but I have been following up on EVERY single ee being solved rn, but its always nice to learn something new from everyone here).

[late onyx]

it can definitely be a lot to process at once

that’s why it’s important to use appropriate channels and read older messages, it helps to stay informed and keep organized

[hidden panther]

who knows, maybe alll ee's will converge to solve the final layer

unlikely tho

[late onyx]

that would be an absolutely insane idea from them lmao

it would definitely be the most complex easter egg

[hidden panther]

ya

[hasty anvil]

I kind of think they do

Level 2 was before game release and level 3 is during, and I think we need to do in game ee's for the passwords

[late onyx]

i suppose so

but that’s more like… easter egg content being released as seasons than what i would consider to be all one easter egg

[hasty anvil]

I guess tickets were a type 4 EE

[late onyx]

interesting

i haven’t read this before

[hasty anvil]

but some can be more than 1 type

[peak canopy]

we have some evidence pointing toward tickets not being done so i really don’t think they’re a type 4. also the hunt for the tickets was grueling and frankly, idk, too obtuse? don’t think that end result made anyone smile

my issue with nozomi rn is that you have to repeat the first 3 levels in a decent time frame and then you have like 7-8 minutes to look around for new clues with seemingly no real indication as to what to do next

[severe creek]

For a type 4, I certainly didn't smile 🥲

[light breach]

If we have more people in the lobby we might have more time to look around. Like we have a group that's getting lvl 1 tickets and another on standby to directly start collecting lvl 2 tickets and same thing for lvl 3 then we'll have more time to look around instead of 8-10 mins.

[peak canopy]

the main issue is it’s super repetitive. and resetting every 15 minutes is kind of a buzzkill. the search for the first 3 levels took months.

and some of those tickets…. not sure if it was my graphics settings or what

but most of them are genuinely invisible on my pc

[hasty anvil]

Remember people took the time to even make the ee for us so be kind about it

[peak canopy]

stating that it’s repetitive to do something repetitive? literally just saying we’re at a standstill because people aren’t wanting to do the repetitive nature of the ee rn. we literally stopped running nozomi private matches

not meant to be rude. it’s just literally how the EE works. we have to repeat levels 1-3 every 15 minutes

and it says ticket hunt is done so we don’t even know what to do or what to look for after getting through all 3 levels

[flat hollow]

Thats how it works no? trying to repeat the steps and seeing if there is anything new after, and youd have to do that many times to see differences

[flat hollow]

I'd assume the ticket part is done but the EE is not

[white patrol]

My speculation is: this map is a map they put a lot of work in, just like piwakawaka (Midas' EE), you don't really get anything upon finish, just devs who want to show some love and hide some little secrets for us to find, in this case, Nozomi ticket (Sch's EE) probably went a little too far lol, unlike rose EE and dolphin EE (both from rob, rose EE revealed by rob, dolphin EE tied to Rob's ARG "the hunt"), Nozomi ticket just a EE designed by Sch, probably out of purpose of commemorate the map he heavily worked on, and they are just level designers, not embark CEO or CO-CEO, can make decision on giving out free rewards or whatever they feel like to add in the game, and also don't lose hope yet, there's 3 unsolved one in Nozomi, maybe we need to complete the whole thing to get something, who knows.

[peak canopy]

rob did say there were rewards for a nozomi EE, and that there were 2 more levels for the easter egg we were currently working on. so i honestly really do believe there’s a reward for ticket hunt. but like, again, doing the ee on low settings because i run 240fps, pretty much every ticket was completely invisible for me

it’s like, hard for me to do that process dozens of times not even knowing if the game is going to show me the items i’m looking for

even the last ticket we found with mike, when he pointed it out to me, i’d walked past it like 15 times without knowing because it displayed completely differently for him

also i thought the only other easter egg that was really completed by the community was dolphins? even the dev that did fantails said you guys didn’t finish it

so the only completed ee that wasn’t big hunt related did give a reward. technically,

[white patrol]

When did Rob say there are rewards for nozomi EE? I think I might have missed that line
the level 5 thing might be change of plan or miscommunication, to be specific he did not say there are 2 more levels to go, it just when we are "complaining" how small the alien tickets are, he said wait till you see level 5.
I want to believe as well, but sch already said GGWP so idk, if there's more he would've told us

[peak canopy]

i saw a clip about it and he definitely says there are legit rewards for some of the nozomi EE’s

pretty sure he said 2/4 but i might be misremembering that part

[peak canopy]

#1268387898219040812 message

[white patrol]

oh yeah that I know, but they did find all of them I think, unless there's new ones, or there's mystery behind it, and I don't remember Midas mentioned any rewards

[white patrol]

if you can find it that would be best, I don't think it is in "Rob twitch clues" thread yet, would be good to add it in

[hasty anvil]

I haven't heard of any rewards for the tickets

[hidden panther]

there isnt one

[flat hollow]

Alright wall of text incomming:

Vault Hunter Set includes a AKM with the following texts written on the gun "Days searching for the vault - Home Sweet Home".
It has a weapon charm with a the finals coin imbedded into a rock with the text "Sato 1988 - 10 -29" and a sticker of half a map that has a vault on it with mountains and trees. (i cant send pictures but you can find it ingame).

We believe that the map is pointing towards kyoto, so i googled Kyoto Home sweet home and found a song called "home sweet home" from a war movie/anime that takes place in Kyoto Japan called Hotaru No Haka which translated is: Grave of the fireflies (one of the most saddest movies every created).

We know that there are fireflies in the map Kyoto around lampposts with the crescent moons, a crescent moon is also a thing in the movie.
1988 that's written on the coin? it's also the year the movie came out.

We think the map kyoto must have the fireflies visable for the EE.

We also believe the golden pavillion on kyoto has something to do with it, cause in the movie when they were standing next to the grave there was a crescent moon with fireflies. The pavillion apparently used to be a home before turning into a shrine surrounded by tombs and gravesites with two notable mountains behind it, exactly like on the AKM and the Map. And there are loads of clues in game about finding it "beneath" and "digging deeper"

ALSO on the AKM in the top of the mountains it says NW, and the golden pavillion is located on the NW side of kyoto.

We tried alot around that area regarding spawnlocations of vaults, rocks, destroying things, looking for correlations on the fireflies but were stuck and cant seem to find out where its heading. we could be totally wrong but does anyone have more insights or thoughts?

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

https://www.shokoku-ji.jp/en/kinkakuji/about/

[desert cypress]

So I was doing some research into DC93 since Rob said there is a spray on the Vegas map that references it, but I found this. Not sure if it's anything, but I found it an interesting read:

https://defcon.org/html/TEXT/1/KARNOW-1.TXT

[desert cypress]

Grave of the Fireflies is an amazing movie. I wonder if there is anything to do with a cave since that's what the 2nd half of the movie revolves around

[flat hollow]

We are fully stuck on what to do on kyoto but everything points to that movie atm

So if anyone has any ideas, it would be very helpfull to my sanity 😄

[severe creek]

The map is also most definitely showing a cash vault which I don't think has been said

[hasty anvil]

This map is definitely a cashout, but the gun skin is a house, so somehow the 2 connect

[severe creek]

With the small box on the bottom of the cash vault on the map, makes me think it's more about spawn location (like when it's still locked in)

[hidden panther]

cashout in the house?

[hidden panther]

or it could be that

[severe creek]

A cash vault and a cash box can both spawn in the golden pavillion (Engimo house) there is also a yellow wall in there under the stairs which is out of place from the rest of the houses blue/teal

[flat hollow]

Rob if you're reading chat in here, PLEASE i have only a small shred of sanity left, let me keep it and help us a little XD

[desert cypress]

I'm assuming we've tried dropping the vault that spawns in the pavilion to the ground?

[flat hollow]

yup

[desert cypress]

And jump pads don't move it if it falls on it right

[flat hollow]

You can walk over the cashbbox and it will move so i assume it will move when it touches a jump pad

[desert cypress]

Hm, what if we tried an angled jump pad and clear a path so the vault moves towards the graves?

Not sure on the possibility of that though

[flat hollow]

Dont think that would be it

[severe creek]

There's no actual graves on the map (that we've discovered anyways)

[eager fiber]

hello i found a weird opening in the practice range. I dont know if this has been already seen : https://youtu.be/JRIpy32mieE

[hidden panther]

how did u find this?

ive never seen it before

but what about the weird panel? how did u get that to spawn? (the one with the finals' logo on it)

[robust junco]

I see this

It is rare. When you get it I discoved a tm8 spawn token on the outside map

With a rose under it

[desert cypress]

Tested, vaults are not affected by jump pads, they just sit on them

[eager fiber]

first game of the day, i go into practice range. Heres my full recording of the game : https://youtu.be/ANBAkqOZ0R0
You can see it at 1:33

[hasty rover]

Looks like its a reflection though

[desert cypress]

So you did nothing prior to this?

[eager fiber]

hm i dont think so

[hidden panther]

I'm in practice range rn and I dont have the panel nor the rose on the bench

U have them next to the bench but not on the bench like you

I only have 4 Roses, not 5

[sullen lynx]

Anyone available for a private game in Monaco? I might have the solution for the roses Easter egg.

[white patrol]

if anyone would like to have this saved for possible future use

[hidden panther]

im down

[wicked birch]

Mourier Alphabet looks like the floor pattern of that one Citadel building

[hidden panther]

ur right!

[hasty anvil]

Just some fuel for you, triggerable ee's on all maps

[hidden panther]

that basically confirms that the tickets are not the end of the nozomi/citadel ticket ee

unless this was written a long time ago

[hasty anvil]

Yeah there could be other ee's on Nozomi that are triggerable

I'm sure there's more than one on that map

[wicked birch]

Tickets were 7.0, 3 more left then

[desert cypress]

Which update added the last set of tickets? I thought they were staggered

[wicked birch]

all the tickets were there by 7.0

we just took time to find them all

[desert cypress]

Oh interesting

[wicked birch]

it's 4 big ones, so there might be a few smaller ones too

[sullen lynx]

I didn't find a rose in Monaco, but Rob said there are some on all maps. And logically, if the Easter egg has existed since the beta, it must be Monaco, given that there is no water in Seoul.

[void parrot]

I think we gotta find all the maps with water since in the lore it’s known as a rare resource, and try to interact with something to spawn a rose, 5 roses 5 maps? Idk I’m also confused about the more potassium and phosphorus and less nitrogen

Sky horizon has a digital ocean, Kyoto has fresh water, I think Bernal has a water fountain, and Monaco as the obvious one

[worn rivet]

Dancing

[sullen lynx]

The easter egg has existed since the beta and there were only Monaco and Seoul at that time so I don't think so.

[worn rivet]

U can't

[void parrot]

When you looked did you try map variants

[sullen lynx]

No

Good idea

[void parrot]

I looked for an hour on rain and couldn’t find much

the namatako was found on the duck and cover one

[hasty anvil]

Did we try placing this on all casinos?

[sullen lynx]

I just thought of it but I didn't look in the church. Most of the time there are flowers in churches.

[white patrol]

dont this look like a sim card somehow

or chip

[white patrol]

I can

[unkempt dune]

that's the layout of DS

(Dragon Constellation Studio)

[burnt oracle]

it's currently raining on my lobby and i didn't even enter any gamemodes yet, just looked at the store for a little bit.

[hasty anvil]

probably just from the angled corner haha

[hasty anvil]

Yeah just an idea

[sullen lynx]

No, the angle is too big

I would go for Zaraby or Eastwood more.

Or Glamor maybe

[silk wolf]

I just realized

Isn’t water only scarce in the meatspace? As in why would you run out of water in VR? Wouldn’t water translate as electricity

[sullen lynx]

Or maybe just that 🫠

[sullen lynx]

I thought about breaking a generator but you can't carry water in the game

[worn rivet]

No

[severe creek]

Bernal has water barrels you can pick up and pop with water when thrown

[sullen lynx]

@silk wolf private match for try this?

[silk wolf]

I’ve seen those barrels but if the rose Easter egg was able to be completed back then, I don’t think theyd have any significance

[sullen lynx]

The rose easter it’s at Monaco for sure

[silk wolf]

I do need to get glitch audio and run it through a spectrogram though

The thing about Monaco though is that there’s also assets of it in Skyway Stadium and people don’t seem to remember that lol. I don’t think we’ve figured out where the mansion is actually located. The produce section of the map is also another.

[sullen lynx]

The training ground is in Monaco and the easter egg has been available since the beta so logically it's in Monaco

[silk wolf]

Was skyway stadium in the beta?

[sullen lynx]

I think yep

[silk wolf]

There ya go

There’s probably something that connects all those

But yeah I’m down to hunt

[sullen lynx]

Are there Monaco flags on Skyway Stadium?

[silk wolf]

I think so

I know the walls say something like Seoul/Monaco/Stadium

[silk wolf]

Guys

I think I found something

[severe creek]

The suspense

[tepid fossil]

Fr haha

[silk wolf]

Idk if yall have seen this but in the tutorial right above where the cannon is supposed to be atom the SW part of the map there’s a dot in the sky

It has like a auto aim property to it

Can someone else confirm I’m not tripping

[white patrol]

Have we tried to combine DSC's carpet with "galxy grid" skin line?

Rob: There have been multiple clues hidden that you can only find by combining multiple images (and no, you will not find it be randomly trying, when you see the pattern, it is easy)... but I don’t think anyone has been found...

#easter-eggs message

[silk wolf]

There’s actually a few

[sullen lynx]

I think we should put the rose in it

But where is the rose 🫠

[silk wolf]

They look like comets

There’s one above each statue

One above the fountains

[sullen lynx]

Create a private match and we'll go see it together across the entire map.

[silk wolf]

Bet

F18N

[robust junco]

Tell me what it was

Someone plssss

[silk wolf]

I don’t think it’s anything tbh

All maps have a point in the sky that just directs your aim

[robust junco]

What was it

[sullen lynx]

When you aim at the sky you have a kind of aim assist

[robust junco]

To what

[sullen lynx]

I don't know, but there seems to be something (or maybe we're going crazy)

[desert cypress]

So on Vegas there are 10 circles on the main road. Has anyone tried getting 10 people to stand on them?

[glossy copper]

to no avail huh....

[void parrot]

Has anyone found the graffiti letters on Vegas yet?

[robust junco]

Did you guys notice that it says sep 4 cns echo world tour stop ends

We will still have 6 days of ssn 7 left

Whay do they have planned for us 🤔🤔

[rare rune]

there'll be a week of something left, I assume sponsor showdown esque thing

[glossy copper]

Argon = 5 Zaraby = 6 Glamora = 7 Eastwood = 8 5678? like the dance rutine is that too crazy to think?

their first debut Step One?

is this a clue or am i Schitzo

maybe 4 people gotta emote at specific locations worth a try

[quasi stirrup]

Hey just tought of something that might have to do with multiple ee🤷🏻‍♂️

So…i noticed that there are also implied ee within tutorials. I could be implied that the signs for the players were very early on about the games and the indepth lore and clues. Maybe trying to revisit the tutorials might be worth a shot🤷🏻‍♂️

ALSO i saw that one of the stickers in this season litterally says “are you sure youre logged out?”

The first thing i thought was like, once you are in the game that state of coma happens. Or locked in game.

Idk how to post images so i had to describe it

[rare rune]

inb4 we have to type in a secret password during the loading screen 😫

[glossy copper]

yo ima start running the tutorials then

[grave cave]

is the roses ee disabled this season or something

[severe creek]

It was temporarily at the beginning of s7 but was confirmed to be back in game

[grave cave]

o oke doke cool

[quasi stirrup]

woah, are you joking??

what if we are supposed to click something on loading screen???

[rare rune]

im just speculating

[quasi stirrup]

like when you turn on a pc? and you pull up the boot menu?

you spam a key or hold a few select keys

i kinda like that speculation tho

[rare rune]

i mean the finals logo loading screen (which now is made of purple ascii characters)

like how you press F12 to go to bios/uefi menu during startup on ur pc

[quasi stirrup]

thats where im thinking it wopuld be at

yeaaaa

ascii? what is that?

[rare rune]

american standard code for information interchange

the most basic character encoding your computer can use

[quasi stirrup]

0101 im assuming?

[rare rune]

nah

ascii art is made out of the most basic characters

[quasi stirrup]

ahhhhhh

so like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rare rune]

in s7 the loading screen is a finals logo made out of it.

but it doesn't matter, what i mean is maybe we need to do something during the loading screen

[quasi stirrup]

but more deatiled and emphasized

i agree

wb the good ole up down up down thingy

some kind of left right enter down plug in code then enter

maybe spam escape

or home or end

tbh it could be an ee of itself i just dont think im a good hunter. i speculate a lot until something sticks

[onyx hollow]

the konami code?

[late onyx]

the tutorial on monaco is not the tutorial available at launch, which was much simpler and in the practice range, the monaco tutorial was added later

[light breach]

What if the roses ee isn't about literal roses at all but something that symbolizes roses. Roses have different colors and depending on the color of the rose it can mean something different, for ex:

-red rose: love, desire, commitment
-white rose: purity, new beginnings

• pink rose: tenderness, gratitude

And since someone mentioned that the roses sounded like metal when hit then what if we need to find statues, metallic objects or structures that symbolize roses.

[hard forge]

i am 50-50 on that.

[white patrol]

I'm more 70 on symbolism/not literally grow a plant or something

[white patrol]

yeah that's my guess. check miro, there's a argon theory made by ludo, might satisfy your curiosity

[light breach]

I'll check it out now.

Another thought just popped up. What if the statues in monaco play a role in the roses ee. The lovers statue is made out of bronze and since bronze can't rust but instead corrodes due to chemical reactions with oxygen, water and other elements like chlorine and sulfur as well. So what if we need to find a way to increase the corrosion of the statues to maybe reveal another clue.

[tepid fossil]

Its weird anyway how thats the only one in the garden that doesnt break yk

[light breach]

Smoke bombs can produce compounds like hydrogen chloride and water vapor so what if the statues need a trigger of some kind in order to reveal a clue or at least give us a hint.

[silk wolf]

Just want to drop in and thank yall for theorizing

[tepid fossil]

Someone tried some experimenting with carriables or gadgets on the lovers statue yet?

Wasnt the weird "aim assist comet" in the sky thing from yesterday also above the statues in monaco?

[light breach]

What if we try to make the orbital lasers hit the statues during a game?

[tepid fossil]

Ooohh

Like the idea

[white patrol]

Nice idea to try
June once said during orbital laser event, "struck by lighting is so old school"
Orbital laser = lighting
lighting = spark

I'm not that good with English, but I'm 80% sure when people talk about love between 2 lovers
They will say something like "love sparks"

lighting can also symbolize bean stalk but it was from sky to earth, not earth to sky

[tepid fossil]

Anyone want to try it out?

[silk wolf]

ill do it for a klondike bar

[tepid fossil]

I had to look it up and i have to say it looks like something i would enjoy 🤣

[white patrol]

if you have a lobby ready im down :3

[silk wolf]

haha

[tepid fossil]

I did stormy wheater because of the lightning statement?

A2V7

[silk wolf]

I feel like each map has an augment that has easter eggs

[jade sparrow]

was about to close my game but im down for a bit of hunting

[tepid fossil]

Im on console tho so my chatting is very slow lmao

[jade sparrow]

all good

[silk wolf]

Monaco-Duck and Cover

Vegas-Sandstorm

Seoul-FOg?

[tepid fossil]

Btw did they take the golden namatama out of there?

[hidden panther]

yes, except ツ is not ASCII, its unicode

[silk wolf]

no

It's still there

[hidden panther]

the head of the statue on sys horizon makes a metal sound when you shoot it

[tepid fossil]

Okay ty because i couldnt seem to find it yesterday, maybe just to dumb haha

[silk wolf]

It's tricky to find at first haha

[tepid fossil]

Okay haha

[silk wolf]

I thought it was gone until the other dude i was playing with showed me

[white patrol]

G6KA @tepid fossil @jade sparrow

[hasty rover]

What about the voices sounding like alan watts in seuol?

[silk wolf]

@rob do you like Vinocio

Allegedly

[quasi stirrup]

Yea

[desert cypress]

So has anyone searched for Monaco graffiti recently? I read through, and it seems like we've only found 3/11

I'm assuming sledge is best to search for them

[hasty anvil]

When we were hunting 3 headed monkeys we didn't find any so they're gonna be hard / triggerable

[desert cypress]

Are all 3 we have found on all variants of Monaco?

[hasty anvil]

Yep!

[hasty anvil]

After dolphins were found, we were meant to do this to get the charm, tickets may not be finished

[dull marsh]

As much as I agree, the dolphins did NOT display "Dolphin EE complete!" 😄

[fading vigil]

4 tickets 3 lvls
4*3=12
As max players in WT mode
What if every team should insert 1 ticket of each lvl, level per player

[hasty anvil]

I feel like dolphins were easier and the reward was better

even no charm at least we got some kind of animation

I wouldn't call tickets an activatable ee, so what if it was to unlock another?

hard clutching at straws here

[bleak socket]

So, anyone solve the roses yet?

[hard forge]

nope

[hard forge]

@dull marsh

[hidden panther]

but we did get the charm

also I did some practice range and I have the plate and opening that @eager fiber mentioned

can someone dig deeper?

[eager fiber]

You found a pattern to make it, or is it just random ?

[hidden panther]

its just random I think

possibly loadoat based, but I heavily doubt it

I was using Famas, Heal beam, Goo nade Jump pad and Defib

[outer scroll]

I remember us talking about something we were stuck on in Vegas with Death by Rhodent.

Also, RHOdent? Like Rhodes?

Anyway.. check this tour shirt out.

[light breach]

The part that is faded is bernal theater

[rancid spire]

oooo easter

[desert cypress]

I found a shiny triangle on the ground in the tutorials (same spot in both and repeatable). I cannot send images, but I'm not sure if this is anything

It's like a silver metallic triangular prism

[fading vigil]

You can send it to me

[past karma]

You can always send an imgur link

[hard forge]

it's a real band. real name

these guys make music for finals

[dull marsh]

wdym it's not a real band

it's a real band in the game, and it was performed by real people

but afaik it's not a thing outside of the game

[hidden panther]

sry im slow what is "afaik"?

[velvet narwhal]

As far as I know

[hidden panther]

oh thx

[quasi stirrup]

Part of the logging in ee i just mentioned about

Thats is actually really good to know

[desert cypress]

Will post the images soon, I just woke up haha

[quasi stirrup]

Imgur wasnt working for me guys is the site down?

[desert cypress]

https://imgur.com/a/kW4w23X

I also tested the different stages of the tutorials and it is there the entire time

[quasi stirrup]

Hmm

Thats kind of odd

Its like debri but like 3 of them and individual

Almost like actually placed there

Is that the starting location?

In kinda reminds like in movies when its like a fragment of a memory or mind or stuff like that

[desert cypress]

No, the starting location is near the west fountain, this is the southeastern most corner of the tutorial map

The 2nd image it looks like the corners are glowing. It's very strange. I could not find another on the tutorial in any other bushes

Also I have not tested if it is in the regular map since I didn't have anyone to do a private match last night. But if anyone can check that would be great

[quasi stirrup]

That reminds me that rose ee was looking for something SW not sure if anything would show in any of those

[outer scroll]

Please reread Impervious’ message.

[hidden panther]

anyone wanna hop on nozomi/citadel to find the new nama tickets?

[snow walrus]

[hidden panther]

its all done?

[white patrol]

Some connection between 3 wise monkeys and 3 golden namatama

See no evil: Sunglasses Nama Tama
Hear no evil: Headphone Nama Tama
Speak no evil: Samurai Nama Tama (according to the 3 yellow player statue, the samurai has menpo (jaw mask) on, covering it's mouth)

(this is a repost but at the time I did not find the third connection)

[fading vigil]

at first look on the headphones - i thought about builder`s protective headphones, but mic.. so, now they looks like heli\aviation one

[strong briar]

Hi Everyone,

I am probably having some kind of manic fit, but I believe the Eyecaster bundle may be related to the 5 roses in some way.

1. 8885 days from today is December 30, 2049. December 30 is not significant in Blade Runner 2049. But June 30 2049 is the date of or immediately after K (potassium) finds the flowers at the base of the tree. He scans the area below the flowers and finds a box buried underground.

2. There is a giant hologram in the movie (Fee-fi-fo-fum) - could this be referring to the giant image on the side of the house currently in the practice range?

3. The Illustrated Blade Runner (June 1982), "the film's screenplay combined with selected production storyboards" was published by Blue Dolphin Enterprises - The blue dolphin charm is called the Power Porpoise, and there is a power generator right next to the flowers.

I sincerely apologize if this is known already, or just garbage, but it feels like there is a connection here.

[spiral hearth]

what's the significance of "8885 days from today"?
sorry im new, but Im just glued to these threads xD

[desert cypress]

It's the eyecaster bundle in the store, it's a limited bundle that's "only" available or 8885 more days

[spiral hearth]

gotcha! gonna go stare at roses again, through my eyecaster headpeace xD

[strong briar]

"For contestants who are tuned in, booted up, and BEAMING WITH CURIOSITY".

I also just noticed, the animation in the store includes a little glint in the eye that appears when it is looking directly at the days remaining. This seems to be absent from the actual animation on the skin.

[spiral hearth]

if you are talking about this one https://imgur.com/a/QAQo1xn - you get multiple of these depending on the size of the character, like you get ~4 of what I assume are lamp reflections on Medium

[strong briar]

Sparkle! That's the word I wanted.
https://imgur.com/a/Wyb7tq7

[hidden panther]

anyone down for some ee hunting?

for graffitis, 3 headed monkeys or chunky white rabbits?

[velvet narwhal]

I can afk for you to start a match, but won't be able to hunt.
You can also try to post in here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1217498821563514951

[hidden panther]

ooh thx

but idk how to actually look for them thats why i wanted someone to guide me

what if on the level 3 page we look at the glitching nums

[velvet narwhal]

The graffitis we've found are just on a wall and nothing special has to be done to see them.
The monkey disappears if you look too long at it. Here's a vid explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YHzNmsTBFM
Chunky WR hasn't been found yet, so we don't really know. But the normal WR were just placed on objects.

Here's a map with the locations of the 3HM and other EEs https://coolstuffgoeshere.github.io

[onyx galleon]

So I went back on yt to see if anyone made a hidden room video on $YS im surprised no one found it by now...

[hidden panther]

oh we found all the monkeys?

[hidden panther]

no I knew how to see them just needed advice on where to look

[velvet narwhal]

We've found all the monkeys we needed to get to the next stage of the hunt.
There should be a few more hidden tho

[hidden panther]

oh ye thats what I meant

[keen crane]

Hello

[long barn]

Tickets... What to do with em

[hidden panther]

so I found the opening in pr again and used goo gun to get up to it. I then tried to destroy it with sledge hammer but nothing worked. @eager fiber u might find this interesting

also I have determined it is definetly an opening and not a reflection glitch as I can see corners

It is 3d

I think it might have smtg to do with the roses

also the plate seems to have almost zero collision (you can walk through it)

alhough the reason I say "almost" is because it does slow you down/sort of stop you from going through

also the plate and the opening only appearing at the same time is too much of a coincidence to just be a reflection error

[light breach]

I've said this before but I'm sure we won't find any actual roses on any of the maps but instead what we'll find is something that symbolizes or relates to the roses. For example on Monaco we have the lovers statue, so maybe we need to find a way to destroy the statue since it can not be destroyed by anything. We could try the orbital lasers and check if they can be destroyed.

We need to find things that symbolizes the roses on the rest of the maps.

[hidden panther]

u wanna try destroy it rn?

[light breach]

Not at home rn but once i get home sure.

[hidden panther]

ok. estimated time?

just cuz I play on GFN and have to log in then

[light breach]

Not sure honestly but should be home by 4pm

[hidden panther]

ok

thats fine for me

[bleak socket]

I don't get how they would track the progress through different maps though

[light breach]

I dont think its gonna track progress because I feel like when we connect all the dots it will ultimately lead to a single map for the grand finale.

That's what I think though so I might be wrong

[hidden panther]

probably maybe

[velvet narwhal]

It's possible.
There was an EE on SYS and someone solved it. That EE is now unlocked and doesn't need to be done again.

They are also able to see when you complete one of the steps of an EE. We only knew that that EE was solved bcs Rob told us that someone solved it.

[light breach]

This changes things then. If the roses ee has multiple steps until we solve it, then we can presume that the ee is trackable.

And for the hunt lvl 3 I checked on Google and I read that we need a total of 9 passwords to solve lvl 3 and that the passwords are from previously solved ees. Here's what I read on Google:
It is divided into three areas: MW.AREA 1, MW.AREA 2, and MW.AREA 3.
The solutions are based on moon craters named after scientists and require solving passwords.
The puzzle is complex and involves connections to previous levels and in-game lore, which is typical for The Finals' Easter Egg Hunts.

[glossy copper]

🌹

[tepid fossil]

I tried the orbital lasers thing a couple days ago with two other guys from the discord, didnt work.

[hidden panther]

ok

[tepid fossil]

But ofc u can always try again see if something slightly different works, maybe we did something wrong

[hidden panther]

me and sleepybear are on monaco rn ee hunting

[tepid fossil]

Cant join rn sorry but good luck to you 🙂

[hidden panther]

thx

[glossy copper]

i thought it looked like something should go on top of these maybe with multyple playeers?

[velvet narwhal]

the original has a statue

[spiral hearth]

well we have portable statues in the finals.. 😄

https://www.thefinals.wiki/w/images/a/a1/THE-FINALS_Revive-Statue.png

[velvet narwhal]

we have 4 fountains according to our map.
not sure if anyone has tried placing a revive statue on everyone of them

[hidden panther]

we tried placing flower pots on them but it didnt work

we could try the statues

[crisp eagle]

The AKM Exhibition Grade skin has 128 tally marks on it. The bundle includes the weapon charm with Sato on it pointing to Sega.

There are 128 code points in ASCII

A company called ASCII published software for Sega and later made controllers for them.

https://segaretro.org/ASCII

[unkempt dune]

I've counted more than 128 tally marks though

28 x 5 = 140 and then there's potentially 6 more than that (if you count the green, blue, and yellow).

[crisp eagle]

Oh ok dang. I saw some chatter on a thread saying there’s 128

[unkempt dune]

Although that AKM skin with the 1, 2, and 3 lines reminds me of this thought from last month:

[hasty anvil]

That was my probably my poor counting I thought I heard that number too haha

[hasty anvil]

If only it was 154 = AED = Defibrillator 🥲

Would go with the medium and heart hints

[desert cypress]

I tried to do orbital lasers yesterday but I misclicked meteor shower and then didn't have another chance to wait

[desert cypress]

Wait, what if we put statues on all of them? That could be a AiW link (turning small)

[spiral hearth]

if you guys get a group going, im down to be killed and carried around for science

[quasi stirrup]

What about the fefifofum

What if we get heavies on top of those

Or flowers

Or giant holding flowers

[desert cypress]

Maybe the giant is the person carrying the statue?

Four fountains, so for statues we would need either a team of 5 with 4 people dead, or 2 teams of 3 with 2 people to carry 2 statues each. Or maybe we need 8 people (4 people to carry 1 statue for each team)

[hasty anvil]

This still could relate to rob's twitch clue: 128 128 128

[dull marsh]

I'm pretty confident there are 143 marks which would likely mean "I love you"

[spark sigil]

are there easter eggs in the credits?

[light breach]

What if we get 4 H to place the lights on the fountains?

[crisp eagle]

Haha we almost had something cool! 🫡

[silk wolf]

What’s up Y’all any new leads?

[hasty anvil]

Nooo I think it's still good cause of the other hint

[spark sigil]

btw it seems that every season gets new credits if that means anything or if anyone wants to record these credits for if we need later

[crisp eagle]

Yea that’s true. I forgot about the Rob message. Hmmm

[crisp eagle]

We’ve got someone who always does that actually haha he transcribes them all too. @fresh quiver pardon the ping

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1382695750252888065

in case you or anyone wanted to look. Please don’t chat there though. Keep it clean

[onyx galleon]

Anyone wanna help go look for the room on sys

[fresh quiver]

all fine

and yes. there is no credits for S6...

rob forgot to add them 😭
so we had S5 credits for the whole S6 season

[strong briar]

I was just messing around the practice range and noticed this weird marking behind the big sign.

Has anyone seen anything like this on any other maps?

https://imgur.com/a/6OmQsDm

[odd sequoia]

I’m also down

[desert cypress]

Not sure if you saw but I have a private match code

[desert cypress]

We just need one more to test the statue theory if anyone is available!

[desert cypress]

So the statues do fit perfectly on top of the fountains. Once we get a 5th person we can test all 4 statues with a statue on top

[strong briar]

I just hopped in the lobby

[desert cypress]

Update: 4 statues on the same team did not seem to trigger anything. We would need 3 more people to attempt it with 4 different team statues on top of the fountains

[spiral hearth]

i'd also try 4H on the statues, since there's so much talk about "giants"

[spiral hearth]

no luck so far, but definitely looking swole
https://i.imgur.com/12AyU3d.png

[desert cypress]

My game crashed, will be back in a sec

[desert cypress]

Alright, after testing everything we could with the fountains we found nothing special. However the south fountain on the duck and cover variant is smaller than the rest for some reason

[glossy copper]

tried orbital lazeers on statue nothing of note

cannons with royal cypher on them

[onyx galleon]

For first one to find hidden room on sys horizon gets 100$

[unkempt dune]

change the game is actually CNS's thing

"we are here to change the game"

[atomic laurel]

I see a hallway sort of thing at the back of the practice range

[unkempt dune]

the slogan was only really used during the betas on billboards if I remember correctly

[unkempt dune]

that'd be a bug

[atomic laurel]

🙁

confirmed? it looks like one lol

#1304372531028951117 message

It is like this, but doorway proportion

[unkempt dune]

Here's an example of the billboard being used during the Open Beta trailer

there was this old billboard as well that had it

change.the.game was ultimately replaced with reach.the.finals

[unkempt dune]

I did some searching for new domains being registered and found a few:

• dissun.net
• hydraq.net
• alfaacta.net
• enorino.net
• trentila.org
• ivada.org

[glossy copper]

camera room

[alpine junco]

One day the hi res burrw site will be found

[glossy copper]

the only camera we found with this rotation

up and down the reest go left to right

single whiteee cameera

tehe rest are off aswell

[formal birch]

might be the cams rob were referring to where vaiiya has no control

now what do we do with those cams

[glossy copper]

likee the only camera thats out in the vaiya building

[onyx galleon]

Can someone help with solving/finding the room on sys

[formal birch]

wires on that one might lead to somethign or somewhere

[desert cypress]

Oh what is was rob's message?

[formal birch]

@desert cypress

[desert cypress]

Thanks

Interesting, so the ones they don't have control are maybe pointing to something?

[formal birch]

maybe, maybe not who knows, dont think anyone has made any progress with that ee

[fallen jasper]

Hmmm makes sense

[onyx galleon]

Can I help someone look for EE's pls ?

[desert cypress]

Also I forgot to send my thoughts here yesterday, but rob said there are about 11 graffitis on Monaco, and we have found 3. But 11 is binary for 3, so what if that's what he meant and not actually 11?

[eternal violet]

yea, that's the case most likely. Monaco has been combed through many times, there's 0 chance we are still missing 8 graffiti lol.

[fresh quiver]

thats a valid point. Havent thought about this

[alpine junco]

missing "O"

[rigid adder]

Huh..

[silk bolt]

huh

i think oscar is part of the EE now

[white patrol]

@dull marsh @gloomy anvil hunt this clanker down

nvm :3 thanks CM

[hasty anvil]

#game-announcements message
idk who does these videos but maybe the letters in the background on vegas alley is the letters we need?

[wraith karma]

Hydraq and enorino?

a trentila site is interesting

Glad to see them possibly becoming a choosable sponsor soon

[full plinth]

hmm wierd

[dense sigil]

what am i supposed to look at

[white patrol]

huh? I don't think it was there before

[full plinth]

yeah

[white patrol]

don't tell me it suppose to be in S8

[bleak wharf]

are we getting another season with cns?

[full plinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but holtow and cns

[rigid adder]

We kinda already knew about the returning of Holtow as a sponsor

[candid geode]

the only thing ive discovered from all of this is that whoever made the holtow website assets is using an outdated version of pphotoshop and should update

[full plinth]

the qr code

[candid geode]

qr just leads to holtow.com

[desert cypress]

That glitch is the CNS Override period, so it got deleted by Vaiiya?

[full plinth]

yep

i think

[rotund prawn]

trentila

[full plinth]

yeaaaa

[rotund prawn]

new sponsor perhaps?

[full plinth]

nope its not new

[vagrant mauve]

Predicting it now, stream ends with Oscar opening a HydraQ email and getting "hacked"

[severe creek]

His phone has a sticker that says "Hazardous Substance - Don't Drink The Water"

[full plinth]

he leaked 2 s8 music so far 💀

[ashen hill]

So what all do we have? In terms of leaks for s8

[late onyx]

some music, most likely a kill cam, potentially some kind of drone, something to do with cats, holtow and trentila sponsors

i dont have a ss but one of the CMs said "season 8 = cats"

and there is the search open in one of the tabs about overcoming fear of cats

also trentila the company is growing tiger fruit

[late onyx]

stream over, no huge leaks

[desert cypress]

In the CNS.sync video when it says EVENT | CNS.sync, as it fades away it glitches and says EVENT | LOCK.phase(), which was the event during the now deleted portion of world tour

Around 0:09 in the video

[unkempt dune]

Pearly Gates Insurance appears for a second time

(first time was during the HOLTOW Alien Insurance ad)

[desert cypress]

Pearly Gates is a digital afterlife maybe?

[unkempt dune]

If car insurance is for when you get into a car accident, pearly gates insurance would be for when you visit the pearly white gates. Not sure how useful such that insurance would be if you're already dead.

[white patrol]

maybe one of those "brain in a vat" scenario?

[wraith karma]

Hell yes

Cat cosmetic peak

I hope we get like an Orf skin, sort of like the Moolah skin from Rising Stars (S6 iirc)

[gritty rune]

Or maybe it’s a way for people to download their minds into the game? I don’t know just my first thought

[wraith karma]

It could also be something like a: “we’ll get you into heaven” type thing

[fading vigil]

What if the finals not follows the matrix, but follows the TRON movies?

[desert cypress]

True. I'm just thinking it might be something like San Junipero from Black Mirror

[wraith karma]

Like the whole “get sucked into an arcade machine” thing?

[gritty rune]

On of the sponsors does do things with VR and I thinks it’s volpe could be wrong

[desert cypress]

No idea. But there is CNS in the noise, so maybe

[opal pond]

Isn't that the tiger v9s skin brand?

[ashen hill]

I figure that the logo on the can would be their official logo so I doubt it, seems like there are a lot of tiger stuff tho, like the Ospuze tiger drink

[opal pond]

Yeah it's clearly not ospuze related

Atleast it shows a mascot that doesn't look at all like something ospuze would use

[dull marsh]

I think I found Rob in the Open Beta Trailer at 0:03

[unborn pilot]

is this new?

holtow-invesments without a T

they look mad photoshopped though lol

[vagrant mauve]

Idk if this answers your question but the OSPUZE Tiger drink is co developed with Trentilla, who provides I think "tigerberry" or something nasty like that

[unkempt dune]

Tiger Fruit

[lime berry]

so I was messing around in the PR today. I put all the roses on top of the generator next to them and then melee'd the little black circle on the bottom right of it. my screen flashed white and then the generator was gone and a lightningy particle effect lingered where it was. is that new/known?

[white patrol]

it is known c: thanks for sharing though!

[rotund prawn]

from yesterdays stream

he "accidently" leaked some of his emails

had a bit in the beginning where holtow insurance called him as well

and later he got scammed by trentila for 50000 multibucks

which they removed real time from his acc

[unborn pilot]

Interestingly none work now but the trentila one used to go to Arc Raiders

[rotund prawn]

thats interesting!

i only tried the URLs now and nothing came up as you said

looks like the holtow pyro mine skin also has the 5000 G tag

probably the same QR code

[fading vigil]

Other tabs are interesting too

[jovial pumice]

wtf does it say 5000 G

who's experiencing that much force

[rotund prawn]

whoevers playing TDM with me currently

[kindred sundial]

I think it's gotta be referencing a supernova, or the star inside of the mine exploding. It'd be more than 5k G's. But it could mean something else

[quasi stirrup]

The sun is a star🤷🏻‍♂️

[wooden hawk]

i dont know if anyone has found this yet but on the kickflip slacks theres a little patch that looks a lot like the daft punk homework album

[fading vigil]

Strong duke nukem refferebce on the future stream cover

[full plinth]

so it will be a viking season?

[wraith karma]

Crow pet might be based

I wonder what the ultimate pass is going to look like toooo

[ashen hill]

Looks like no new weapons, and confirmed only 2 sponsors

[desert cypress]

They show the ultimate for a second

[wraith karma]

Where?

[wraith karma]

There goes my Orf sponsor hype 😭

[desert cypress]

In the video they posted, it glitches and shows the ultimate version of the 3 skins

[wraith karma]

oh cool

I’ll check it out in a sec then

[light bane]

already got one from S1 haha

[wraith karma]

There were pets in season 1?

I thought they were added later

[ashen hill]

Mhm

[light bane]

Yeah bro they were there since the start

[ashen hill]

I’ve worn the crow since like a week before s1 ended

[wraith karma]

oh 😭

[light bane]

Og crow is the best

Love that guy

[wraith karma]

Yurp

[full plinth]

me too

he was even accesible in the non-paid bp

[crisp eagle]

Finally getting a Sweden map?

[quasi stirrup]

When does season 7 end? Will that also be revealed then?

Im hoping to also finish my battle pass

[desert cypress]

Thanks for the screenshots

[desert cypress]

Ends on Wednesday I think

[quasi stirrup]

Im not done yet

Im like on 68

[desert cypress]

You got this

[quasi stirrup]

A while back somewhere yall pointed out something about tama in this picture so i downloaded it and traced it

Not sure i did a good job but whoever needs this i hope it helps😅

[cold heart]

days without pareidolia: 0️⃣

😆 ❤️ sorry i had to

[quasi stirrup]

😂😂

Not gonna lie itd be like that fr

[unkempt dune]

so after a while I have revisted this building's piece of text

and I have figured out what it really says

it says BIG SPLASH OF CASH

[desert cypress]

This is in vegas?

[unkempt dune]

yea

[desert cypress]

Cool, nice find

Next to the Dough buildings too, which is slang for money, so all the external casinos/hotels are named after money?

[spiral hearth]

did some extra sharpening 😄 https://i.imgur.com/BPuERW1.png

[cold heart]

omg how did you manage to get a clearer image! thats been bothering me for so long

[unkempt dune]

I got as close as I could to one of the signs, scoped, and used NVIDIA ShadowPlay's photo mode to adjust the lighting and to get a super resolution photo

usually the CASH portion is blown out, which is why I decided to try adjusting the lighting

it payed off in the end

[twilit solar]

I saw something similar, and iirc, it looked like the hallway had the ceiling lights and profile of the trophy display case from the entrance hall, and was accompanied by reflections of the seasonal skins displayed on the other wall of the entrance hall. The back of the shooting range is also directly across from the back of the entrance hall, so it could just be two copies of the map that were set too close together. There are occasionally teammate markers Out Of Bounds past the edge of the practice range, and the two might relate. I would guess both are just part of map generation, and Easter Eggs shouldn't be OOB, but! when I see the hanging sign again, I'm gonna try and grab the statue regardless.

[strong briar]

I saw this as well and assumed it was some kind of baked lighting bug. Though that didn't stop me from wasting 30 minutes trying to get through the "glass".

[opaque merlin]

I know nothing about EE stuff but I noticed a red ceiling light in one of the central buildings near apartments on Skyway, anyone aware of that?

[silk wolf]

yeah

[unkempt dune]

I suppose it could be O for HOLTOW's iconic O

[desert cypress]

I was thinking what if we take the first character from each uncensored section?

[desert cypress]

Doing that I get this: sgmCottWCCC-162634-5SLo-247--1--91cna

Few things I'm unsure of:

1. where would we use this?
2. the 2 in 247 I am not sure if it is a 2 since it is partially censored
3. there are some letters that are uncensored alone, do these get included?

4. Do we include the Signature, Date, Print at the bottom?

Yea, I've always liked and agreed with those ideas, which is what makes this so interesting haha it's a huge IRL lore drop in a way.

Here are some screenshots from the new Let Them Squawk trailer.
at 3 seconds, there is some squares and stuff I can see in the colours, could be nothing, but you guys know more about these visual secrets than I could.
The rest are frame by frame at the end of the video, but there is a couple inbetween frames I couldn't post because of the limit.

[connections rant]
im losing it :
3 frogs ?
Odin skin in the BP : Odin has a black raven and white raven, representing his unsatiable thirst for truth and wisdom
truth : CNS "seek the truth beyond the walls"
walls : the digital space and the meat space seperation

in Arc Raiders, signs with sponsors appear also, and graffiti implies they've "lied" and that they left the Earth due to some major event.

Dissun helped build alot of the Arc, and the arc are being sent down to earth from space.

why does Alfa Acta have so much confidence that CNS isn't going to destroy everything?
Alfa also appears on raider gear, but COULD be involved in the creation of the Arc. (war profiteering).

and I'm very sorry if I'm echoing obvious connections , I just dont' know where to spout off these connections I (think I) am making.

[hidden panther]

dont think thats been mentioned before. Nice find!

[full plinth]

spear gonna be happy about that

[vagrant mauve]

The Odin skin is almost definitely a Vaiiya skin. The birds are the same as the recent akimbo drop. It also makes sense thematically because "Odin the All Seeing".

And if you ever wanna share your own thoughts or read other people's thoughts on connections to Arc Raiders, you can post/read here! https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1368471596125392956

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Duel_at_Silver_Creek GUYS, so the new song
"The Silver Kid" is a absolute BOP, it is a very strange name however, so I did some digging and it turns out, the 1952 Western film The Duel at Silver Creek has a character (Luke Cromwell) nicknamed the "Silver Kid"! the actor who played the character also was a highly distinguished WWII vet Audie Murphy who received every military combat award for valor available from the US Army. He was also a poet who wrote several poems. (also credited with killing 241 enemy soldiers, unsure if number is significant in EE'S.)

lots of things to look at here so ill continue looking into it but this could really be something 😄

[timber tundra]

Thank u!

[spiral hearth]

I was looking into C N S potential connection to the periodic table earlier (I'm sure this has been explored) and it led me to C N S being an integral part of CHNOPS.

What is CHNOPS? CHNOPS is an acronym for the six elements that make up all life on Earth. The acronym CHNOPS stands for Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur.

I know this has also been discussed before in this discord..

But I was just reading your "long post" and where it mentions firefly luciferin, CHNOS from that formula is pretty close to the "essential life" acronym..

I don't have a direct connection here, just thought to mention something loosely

[hidden panther]

The "hacked poem" from the Lore Teaser for the Major! Can someone try looking in to Audie Murphy's poems?

[lyric vale]

hey about that... I really loved that "sun" set... since holtow is coming back, will I have any chance to get that through bp?

[rotund prawn]

its not from a BP its from the store

just go look at pyromine skins

none of the store skins show up in BP, its unique items always

THE CROSSES GROW ON ANZIO
Oh, gather 'round me, comrades; and
listen while I speak
Of a war, a war, a war where hell is
six feet deep.
Along the shore, the cannons roar. Oh
how can a soldier sleep?
The going's slow on Anzio. And hell is
six feet deep.

Praise be to God for this captured sod that
rich with blood does seep.
With yours and mine, like butchered
swine's; and hell is six feet deep.
That death awaits there's no debate;
no triumph will we reap.
The crosses grow on Anzio, where hell is
six feet deep.

. . . Audie Murphy, 1948

Marcel (?): "The biggest event of the year is just around the corner. The Major will pull every eye where it belongs."
June: "Sure, but we all know this isn't over. Those frogs are still sitting by the pond."
Marcel (?): "And we will build a Major stage over it."
Probably just lore, but IRL, the "Major stage" is in Stockholm, and the implication from the dialogue is that the stage will be "over the frogs sitting by the pond."
Frogs in Stockholm?

@stoic pebble

Sadly not 😢

Their website doesn't exist yet

[unkempt dune]

trentila.org is more likely to be owned by Embark rather than trentila.com

[fresh quiver]

true, but in the stream oscar showed a mail from [e-mail]
thats how people came to the conclusion for .com

[wind shadow]

.com is an email thing in some cases so thats a weird conclusion especially since most url's dont have @'s

[velvet narwhal]

.com is not an email thing. it's just a top-level domain.
The @ shows that the email address is from the Trentila.com domain.
Emails can have any top-level domain

[wind shadow]

I meant more as in, a site does not need a .com domain to have a .com email

just to remind you, on September 4, 2024, Rob replied to a Twitch chat message asking for a cryptic clue about the roses with "Nononono, I never leak, but I would use less nitrogen, and more potassium and phosphorus."

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Sponsors this page actually has the brand too

[unkempt dune]

I added that

[split egret]

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

[desert cypress]

Nononono = 102*4=408? N = 7, K=19, P = 15, so 408 - 7 + 19 +15 = 435? Or maybe just 102 - 7 + 19 + 15 = 129

Area code 435 is Salt Lake City

[placid leaf]

Hey guys, sorry if I Interrupt you but can somebody tell me who this figure is ?
Or is he just like a Skin that will come in S8 ?

I paused the last 20 seconds frame by frame and those were the best spots I have found to see them clearly

It looks like a face with a hidden Mask behind the shadow or like they have the capes from Assassins creed or something like that but there is no beard under the mask so it is not odin from the teaser Trailer.

[indigo pasture]

"fly free rise above" rise above is a hxc punk song by the band black flag and with the punker skin seen in the new art for the new season and also robs past with skateboarding ties in with that as punk and skateboarding has always been very close

maybe theres more to that and more to look into

aight sooooooo... do we have any more new EEs on plate?

[hidden panther]

didnt rob also say we should water the roses with water "possibly from the sea"?

lake, sea, both have salt water

also he used sea cuz it was a poem and he needed it to rhyme

[desert cypress]

Yeah, maybe something there

Assuming 435 is meant to lead to the area code and not the year. I did find this on Wikipedia:

"Year 435 (CDXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in Rome as the Year of the Consulship of Theodosius and Valentinianus"

And the Roman Emperor of the West at the time was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentinian_III

So a loose connection to Saint Valentine by name

Does anyone know if using sprays have been involved in any of the EEs? I haven't noticed anything myself, but I'm sure I could have missed something trying to catch up on all of this.

Several of the EEs so far involve stickers/decals, and Rob's clue about needing water/something from the sea to grow brings my mind to sprays.

I just noticed this in the James Bond movie, Spectre - it stands for Centre for National Security and in the movie it replaces MI6’s building that was blown up in the previous movie, Skyfall.

“The CNS Building in the film Spectre is a fictional counterpart to MI6, representing the Centre for National Security, and its exterior was created using CGI and digitally altered from London's City Hall. While the building's location and appearance were heavily modified for the film, the interior spiral staircase was filmed at the actual City Hall in London.”

im sure someones already mentioned this. but potassium is K on the periodic table, phosphorus is P, what does K and P have any significance to do in the game? beans contain both, which i believe beans were what they used in the jack the giant slayer to make it. phosphorus : 30.974, potassium : 39.098. Any significance there? been racking my brain trying to figure this thing out. not sure what the ingredients of the canisters are in the game, maybe 5 people have to stand together each holding a rose, all have to be heavy and die together with a gas canister

maybe the arm tattoos with the flowers have something to do with it as well

I think I know what caused this now

it's overlap from another player's range, the back of spawn point, for some reason other player's PR only exist part of assets to you (you can see balloons and pop them, but now walls, etc.) and this sign and the lights acts the same as the balloons

𓄿𓎢𓉔𓅱 - this one translates out as ACHO

"Your nama is dust but your echo remains"

Which could also be "your name is dust, but your echo remains" which I think is more likely, but "Nama" could be likely too

[neon basin]

Opps swiss cheesed nama 💔

Btw is there a new credits ?

[vagrant mauve]

I think it's cns

Nama is mascot of the finals, and obviously CNS is the "echo"

We know CNS isn't gone, just getting covered up

it likely has to do with the frogs as well

I put together a visualization for the hieroglyph P90 skin's (SET'S VENGEANCE or ANUBIS' REIGN) repeating patterns by color-coding the hieroglyphs. The list below is the different combinations of the patterns that appear by themselves. The number to the right is the number of occurrences of the combination:

1. 𓇋𓋴 𓂧𓅲𓋴𓏏𓄼 - is dust, (2)
2. 𓂧𓅲𓋴𓏏𓄼 - dust, (2)
3. 𓅂𓎢𓉔𓅱 - echo (2)
4. 𓃀𓅲𓏏 𓇌𓅱𓅲𓂋 𓅂𓎢𓉔𓅱 - but your echo (3)

6. 𓇌𓅱𓅲𓂋 𓈖𓄿𓅓𓄿 𓇋𓋴 - your nama is (2)

I also did one for the .50 Akimbo's SET'S VENGEANCE skin as well. There's no new patterns on this one, but I thought I'd include it since it does contain some different combinations:

1. 𓇋𓋴 𓂧𓅲𓋴𓏏𓄼 - is dust, (2)
2. 𓂧𓅲𓋴𓏏𓄼 - dust, (2)

4. 𓃀𓅲𓏏 𓇌𓅱𓅲𓂋 𓅂𓎢𓉔𓅱 - but your echo (1)

[unkempt dune]

It's good to know there's nothing else hidden on the skins. You can tell the Akimbo skin was probably made first since it's the only one with the full non-broken phrase

[severe creek]

Also reminds me of the three frogs 🐸

"Your nama is dust" bruh they're teasing us once again

[low escarp]

Whats the chances theres 2 messages in this with 2 types of translation

I had wondered this too when I was translating it yesterday, especially since Hebrew hieroglyphs and Egyptian hieroglyphs are similar

There is a giant Eye of Horus on the skin tho

[peak canopy]

regarding the heiroglyphs, really feeling the bit about the nama being dust is probably referencing sand storm las vegas. the other bit about an echo seems interesting. maybe its talking about the stages on las vegas?

[hushed lily]

Maybe its an extensive easter egg where you have to interact with something now

One stayed near shore, thought it was by choice. She leapt on command, her croak without voice. - Speak no evil?

Kind of tough to connect hearing with thick water, but maybe it's about the dissun frog not listening to the concern of everyone around him?

...unless not hearing would be about the stomach's rumbling, but it feels like a stretch

Deafened by the hunger for fame/money (fireflies are flying stacks of money in game), turning a blind eye to success at the expense of others, and one was silenced when trying to speak (the only one outside the pond)

I could be stretching, but in relation to the Fortune's Few set:
Deaf Empire - A fortune too vast to hear the fallout - did the frog never know why the hunger stayed loud? Or did it choose to ignore it because the taste of money was too good.
Blind Fortune - Eyes hidden, future secured. Wealth has its own vision - one on the fast track to stardom, but tunnel visioned into their future, choosing not to see the price of that rise to success
Silent Profit - Some truths are better left unspoken, especially when business is booming - the frog without a voice is the only one on the shore, and it says she thought by choice. It's possible this frog could have been trying to escape the pond to whistleblow, but was silenced (by Vaiiya) because they were too profitable, and obviously a scandal is bad for business.

Marcel mentioned Frogs, check out this auto-generated username. We should start paying attention to these auto-generated usernames. I've been thinking this for about a month.

Weird color in a building in Skyway Stadium
Only building I've seen with these red lights - and first time I see those
Probably just a bug but since the building is red... You never know I guess

Did anything come out of the nazomi arcade yet?

The frogs no longer croaking by the pond potentially related to the myth of the Seriphian frogs who are mute and the significance of referring to a person as a "Seriphian frog"?
I wish there was one good source of some of the potential connections from the google search, but maybe just start with Serifos, member of the Cyclades, right in the middle of the Aegean Sea.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serifos

One version of the myth:

Possible the story of the three frogs traces back to Greek myths? (Sry if already suggested)

For instance, the gadfly myth... gadflies (horse flies) known for flying only in the day and typically having a sheen. Compare to "one tasted shimmer in a glitering fly."
The Scamander and Achilles myth might relate to the river choked with frogs, the Scamander River flowing west from Mount Ida and emptying into the Aegean Sea, near the Troy Historical National Park.
In this case, the symbolism might include things like the "pond" being the Aegean Sea. etc. etc.
Pretty tenuous, though, without more evidence.

Or it's all just lore, right?

[severe creek]

I was about to say that this isn't the first time Aegean Sea has come up in EEs
