[velvet narwhal]

gotta find a vulcano necromancy spell

[opal kernel]

yes - but still the term cant be called a rock but a dead/extinct vulcano

[low escarp]

by definition the mountain we see is a monolith
its not even a volcano
but tbf i guess the extinct vulcano was there or is below it ?maybe?
(i gotta do more reserch)

[velvet narwhal]

how I understand it we're seeing the inside of the volcano. The outside has been eroded away

[opal kernel]

now is just a mountain where most of it stone is just solidified magma

no active lava nor anything just a piece of natural structure

rob goo hint

the part is from the goo grenade skin

[white patrol]

Peaches I restart my game and forgot :c sowwey
I'm talking about this, from S5 BP
Circle with the finals logo acting like arrows, indicates rotation
there's also something look like a cash box, thrown over goo blob, into cashout station
My theory was thrown cash box over goo blob when the platform is rotating into the cashout station

[silk wolf]

16 Finals logo and 8 Cashboxes

Maybe it’s a time thing as well

[shadow shore]

cashbox being thrown through a hoop of somekind? 🏀

Or the cash box is being thrown into the station, and a person is standing on the left of it (head and shoulders)

[turbid tinsel]

kinda looks like throwing a cash box through smoke into ATM

goo wouldnt make sense for pic reference

[shadow shore]

yeah, maybe gotta throw the CB through smoke and box it off another player into the station 😂

alley-oop style

[turbid tinsel]

or same idea but kill someone with it on its way into the cash out

that goo looking spot might just be a reference for them "poofing" into coins

no idea though

[shadow shore]

yeahh

there's like a little stick next to the "person" also

[turbid tinsel]

figured it was to show their arm but yea no clue

[shadow shore]

oh yeah maybe, it's at least worth a try sometime anyway

[ornate quarry]

Could there be a voiceline from the commentators that triggers? (the cashbox and platform thingy)

[fading vigil]

Did We have Carl Linnaeus as clue/eyed?

My idea: we have a lot of zero clues, and space theme. What if it’s about absolute vacuum or temperature. Temperature led me to Kelvin, who is connected to Linnaeus

[silk wolf]

Hey my name's Kelvin

Anyone wanna test Bernal out?

Is this where the lost lava event went?

Eruptions can occur from the natural buildup of pressure of gasses and stuff inside, but tectonic shifts or earthquakes can also prompt spontaneous eruptions. Maybe we need to make a big boom?

Scotty and June have made mention of being "able to feel the explosions from here"

hey guys lets get Rob in here to answer some questions

oh Rob, I summon you expeditiously!

[hard forge]

https://tenor.com/view/bop-bop-bop-shoebody-bop-squad-summon-dark-magic-gif-13983602502478731881

[hard current]

It didn’t appear to work

Maybe we get some of the older hunters together in a vc soon

Though I haven’t seen most of them in quite a while

[hard forge]

i think you might find a lot of them in the next 3 days in the arc server

[hard current]

Yeah true

Is there an Easter egg channel there..?

[hard forge]

not yet, but I expect it to be.
Also I think Rob isn't involved in ARC EE, since there was no ARG. And it's been told to us ARC and Finals have different teams.

[hard current]

Ah then I don’t care

rob ee FTW

Though… we’ve been doing nothing but losing for like 9 months now lol

[hard forge]

real

[hard current]

I took a huge step back cause I got married in September and helped the wife plan it all, but now I’m back and we’re still here when I left 😭😂

[inland hemlock]

its hard

[hard forge]

Most of us are waiting for a one big lead. And then watch everyone jump in

[hard current]

Yeah but I think if we all sit back and wait we’ll eventually go nowhere :/

[hard forge]

true..

I actually want to be done with the big whoop before my memory of it starts to fade

[inland hemlock]

im gonna enjoy arc

[hard current]

Our current level 3 layout in the miro isn’t helping either, too focused on only the stuff after activation, needs to be remade to include EVERYTHING in level 3, the activation level had a ton of stuff that didn’t connect to slies Cetacea or asconce

[inland hemlock]

then i will go over old leads with a new mindset

[hard current]

But our primary level 3 area doesn’t include that stuff

I went through the rob eyed messages the other night, and I think a miro remake is definitely needed for level 3

Maybe I can tackle that tomorrow

[hard forge]

Unrelated, another in-game EE I noticed is that if you take a white pumpkin from Citadel side and break it in Nozomi side, it releases a ghost 👻

[hard forge]

i agree with that.

[inland hemlock]

sure

[hard current]

Rob hinted that level 3 starts “at a really high macro level”

So how do we then narrow down

Slies
Cetacea
Asconce

It’s a funnel, start at the top and work our way down to see what they really are pointing at

Also, Rob eyed a message about “asconce” actually meaning suspicious, or to cast suspicion

So any work done for asconce would want to keep that in mind

[shadow shore]

agreed! Maybe if we just focus on one aspect of the hunt and use our combined braynes

one password is all we need out of 9 for everything to kick off again

[hard current]

Agreed

[shadow shore]

Im looking back at tier 2 stuff, maybe there's something we missed that might help with at least one password 😂

"clues in assets and in-game" i forgot about this one. I wonder if he meant the password clues 🤔

[hard forge]

someone needs to check out if i am being dumb if it is always the case

[shadow shore]

https://tenor.com/view/spooky-2spooky-skeleton-halloween-dance-gif-5665168

[hard current]

There’s a message from Rob indicating there are 4 “pretty, colorful” letters that make up a password

On Vegas

[shadow shore]

oh yesss

[unborn pilot]

I just noticed he has a face for a second

[unborn pilot]

I remember us looking and they’re all kinda evenly lit. The only idea was first letter of each ZEGA (to connect to ZS mirror, SEGA, S=5=V, VEGA if my old brain recalls this anymore)

[shadow shore]

Was that you and I? I do remember looking at some stage also

[unborn pilot]

Yes. We also tried to shoot down letters to spell stuff out 😂

[shadow shore]

Oh yeah eatwood lmao

[unborn pilot]

The “old days”

[shadow shore]

i still have the screenshot

[unborn pilot]

lol post it. But in reality, Vegas could have us shoot certain letters to spell something. There’s no reason that couldn’t work still.

But back to four colorful letters, each one is a different color

[shadow shore]

yeahh true, i'm wondering if there are markings on these colourful letters too or something

[unborn pilot]

So when he says four colorful letters, it could definitely be one letter from each sign

[shadow shore]

yeah so each casino has a letter

and there might be like something "on" each letter to represent it

a colourful mark or something i dunno haha

[unborn pilot]

Zega Vega Vegas made most sense before but now idk if we are meant to use them in the password field

[shadow shore]

yeah

[unborn pilot]

i can be 1
e can be 3 or iii
g can be 6 or vi

[shadow shore]

hmmm oh yeah

i was looking at old passwords from level 2 too

[unborn pilot]

It all has to relate

there are no coincidences

[shadow shore]

there are 9 passwords for level 2 also, same as level 3

[unborn pilot]

But different shape

Level 2 was a cross

When you zoom out I mean

[shadow shore]

yeahhhh true

and lvl 3 is now a square?

recatngle

[unborn pilot]

No I think it’s a matrix

3x3 matrix

[shadow shore]

oh ye

and the Rob quote "you can fill in the following codes on level3: XY double R 1x2"

i forgot about this one

[unborn pilot]

I recall Rob saying each tier gets a little harder so I don’t wanna assume we keep using the same thing.

He also gave us the clue that 0v0 looks like an owl / Minerva and was the solution.

Something tells me M might be IVI

[white patrol]

First time black knight clue showed up (STS-88, William the Conqueror) is in S1 trailer right? I haven't read AIW yet, just came across there are playing cards knights in there, any connection so far?
Through the Looking-Glass (AiW sequel) have white knight, the concept of Looking glass world is everything in reverse, can there be any connections?

AiW also have Card Knights/Soldiers, Through the Looking-Glass seem like based on Chess but I haven't seen any solid connection so far

IDK if this has been mentioned before, seems like this is the 2 sides of same cards
Both are Rob, but one is cut in half? Slashed?
One is mirrored.

Then same should apply to these two
both are showing mirrored version, at the back should be slashed

[low escarp]

for the roses EE
saint valentine hint leads us to the feast of saint valentine

14 -> 1 rose on bench 4 on floor
30 and 9 -> 3 rocks 0 rocks 9 rocks

[low escarp]

they used to be available on all but not anymore im assuming the new maps since then dont have them?

[snow walrus]

or they are seasonal

[low escarp]

the practice range is beyond seasons 🙏

[austere rover]

There's a pattern. They activate and deactivate.. we must find the pattern

Last time someone asked, Rob said that they'd just become reactivated again. If anyone can find out what day that was (during S7 dev stream) it could give you a clue

[vagrant mauve]

I mean this specifically regards all maps, it's possible the roses rotate through the maps in some way. Like maybe they're in Monaco some portion of the time then in Skyway the next.

[vagrant mauve]

Rob's mentions of deactivating at the start of s7 felt more like "oh there's this technical limitation" compared to "oh this is a big clue"

I mean he basically told us without any prompting and then repeated it multiple times to let us know

Might be the bridge on Tokyo

The one on the far left of the map, where one of the power shifts end

[alpine junco]

oh, it's vegas

the curved line is zaraby sandstorm

the square block is the ruined part of the building

possibly???????

[unkempt dune]

Kind of reminds me of a moving platform

[low escarp]

this part looks like a button and one of those bridges that can move

[hot sphinx]

I guess the shapes on the top left are trees?

[unborn pilot]

Here it is stretched a bit to try and make it more flat. The thing with the X has 8 sides so it doesn’t appear round like the middle of Vegas

[formal birch]

layout kinda reminds me of nozomi? by the arcade area

theres a bunch of trees there that are kinda positioned by that middle could be wrong

[unborn pilot]

My guess would be Kyoto or Vegas since we are looking for those Xs

[jovial pumice]

it's monaco

[unborn pilot]

the Monaco X was found already

https://www.japanesewiki.com/culture/Kujo Negi (Leek from Kujo).html also Kyoto is known for a type of leek

[hard current]

@unborn pilot if you wanna hop into a round to check out kyoto let me know

[hard current]

the more i look into our clues, the more I wonder if the concept of connections or roads is important

for example, silk road and hex

hex (piet hein) appears to point to hexadecimal maybe, but the game itself is about connecting two sides

much like a road would, like the silk road (silk fibroin, sven hedin)

and we also had HeroDotus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Road, documented the Royal Road

@unborn pilot you're smart what do you think

[hard current]

Kings Highway (Red)

Royal Road (HeroDotus)

all 3 end near or pass through the Levant - eastern meditteranean region

though it doesn't appear that all 3 connect in any one particular manner

[unborn pilot]

@hard current makes sense connection wise but what does it lead to...

[hard current]

couldn't say, I thought maybe they'd all connect but

the Amber Road could be another option?

though I feel like there's a third road we're missing from the clues, can't be coincidence that we got silk road, and royal road, but not a third

we also have aegean, which could mean the sea or the islands, as well as kalydon, something to do with locations

[unborn pilot]

sure. i need a break from Arc lol. last game spawned in and a guy was shooting me while my screen is fading in still.

[hard current]

do you think you know where this is?

[unborn pilot]

see the L shaped building on the left?

[hard current]

yes

[unborn pilot]

I’m kinda thinking maybe one of these two

Guest house / entrance

wanna hop into a game? don't have to mic up, I'm watching a show but wanna check it out too

[fresh quiver]

im digging up this message. as it is one of the few ones mentioning East India Company.

I went wiki searching again and found a Thomas Smythe.
IMHO there are some interesting things in it:

First governor of a (or the) East India Company
Had a wife named Alice.
Smythe was knighted
and also this passage also led Smythe to promote and support voyages for the discovery of the North-West Passage in North America.

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

Forgot this:

he was re-elected to Parliament for Dunwich in place of Sir Valentine Knightley, who was chosen to sit for Northamptonshire.

[gloomy anvil]

but this isn't necessarily a level 3 map, right? If it just points to the charm then it may not be related to the lost legacy Xs.

[dusk siren]

Hope everyone is well! Found myself running down an Arc Raiders thing, just to make sure I wasn't imagining (I was) and got roped back into some of this stuff (sorry). 1 possibly worthwhile thing, and 3 doubtful, random things:
(1) The Big Whoop -> The Big (Cetacean) Whoop -> "Whale Whoop" (see image; maybe "Big Whoop" has several different meanings that Rob will play on, given the name of the hunt)
(2) Old "Rob Twitch clues" from the L3 Miro (doubtful, random):

• 11643 = algae??? Or Algae??? Or plural of alga???
• 810902 = Haib (copper mine in Namibia, close to one of the mapped coordinates, if I'm not mistaken)
• 667958913 = 66tishim (tishim = 90 in Hebrew) = 6690 = BB/GO (see Type-Moon wiki)

[dusk siren]

Anybody find anything good in any of the official videos (mostly sponsor stuff) that The Finals official channel has published since the last official artworks?

[gloomy anvil]

I typically assume those don't contain clues

[dusk siren]

well, all the best, everyone

[fading vigil]

Whale whoop reminds me of blocks movement , on the streets of sys.. it’s always reminded me a fish flow, but like whale tale, yea

[low escarp]

skyway leek map
i was wondering about the overlapping parts i drew here in blue and red
and on skyway highrise this little platforms that stick out fit
and im thinking the triangle on the right side of the map might be a bridge that u can move thats also right there in skyway but i cant find anything that fits the X spot

[jovial pumice]

but you don't have 2 buildings there tho

Im pretty sure the big x is the church in monaco

[low escarp]

what do you mean?
what on the map are the 2 buildings you mean

[jovial pumice]

on the drawn map that the little thing is holding

[low escarp]

yes what i meant is what on the drawn map are the 2 buildings that u mean with
"but you don't have 2 buildings there tho "

[jovial pumice]

I was saying about the ingame screenshot you sent

cause theres a gap here that isn't present on the screenshot you sent

the gap[ should be here but it's not

[low escarp]

ah i see
i was thinking the triangle part the upper one in ur circle is the bridge that u can move by pressing a button and the lower thing in ur circle is the button
but i dont think it looks that much like the buttons ingame tbf

those beeing the 2 parts of the bridge

the new map with the leek rob posted it last friday i think

the leek is rob and the map is showing us the basement where dusty is keeping him

[robust junco]

The blue one is in Las Vegas

It says where

[low escarp]

i have a idea for the leek map on kyoto
its not perfect but its the best i got for now
problems with it are

1: the blue L is not facing the right way
2: purple lines are stairs but one of them is not the bottom right is a zip
3: the orange thing is conected to ping triangle but its a stretch to say the window on the side is the round hole and its also not oriented perfectly

the yellow lines are are paths u can take from the X theres stairs into the building bridges and a pad and i tried to make the 8 sides fit 8 paths

[unkempt dune]

Here's a perspective modification of the leek photo

[white patrol]

(thankies astu!!) Will it be next season's map (since Nama is wearing a construction hat)? What was the context?

[low escarp]

its a leek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leek not a nama

#easter-eggs message the context is rob posted it saying we can unlock it

[gloomy anvil]

ohh it's a leek

I didn't even realize that

[white patrol]

ahh I see!! thankies peaches

[hard current]

We still have to find the other two golden namas 🙁

[idle dune]

could it be that Dede was the one who managed to escape from the "shell" of the finals? because nama tama is definitely her. she could run with a cash box,but she runs with a case that has nothing to do with the game mechanics and it looks like part of her lore

[alpine junco]

Ive never noticed that nama tama is wearing her helmet

[low escarp]

what if the leek charm is connected to the nozomi tickets

[low escarp]

this is what i was thinking and this part of the building where the red head is is a hexagon just like the area the X is on the leek map

i looked if anything shows up after plugging the tickets but it dosnt
also no idea about the triangle thing

anyway im not hunting the leek anymore im already going insane its only been a few days

[fading vigil]

wait.. where is my message?

Hear me out:
what if we are all the eggs? We are all the Nama tamas, because we are in some sort of hibernation sleep (like matrix), where we are playing in the finals, while ARCs are “repairing” the planet?(also that’s why developers call us yolks, not folks)
That’s why first cns breach made Nama tama to crack, but truly, in “meatspace” we also “work” as droids, those like which was found at arc maps?
And “the rich ones” want us to make all the dull work for them, but in repairable droid bodies, while they are using the planet again?

[fading vigil]

also, isnt first arc war is +- in time with the finals?

[swift mulch]

The finals is around the year 2100 and ARC war was 2180

So far there is not really much connecting the 2 games, but everything is on the table

[keen cargo]

what specifically has been attempted with the coordinates in lvl3?

the wiki seems to just mention the coordinates and then just proceeds to not have anything else relating to them

[fading vigil]

Because neither significant was found nor any theory was eyed by Rob (it was a mark “this is right way”)

[keen cargo]

yeah but what are the theories that were not eyed

[turbid tinsel]

Did we ever figure this out?

I'm 95% certain it lead to ovirom, which was the password for Level 2 Tier 1D.

the things at the bottom center and bottom left of the map i have no idea what they are supposed to be

I was trying to remember if we have any neatly placed tombstones or containers, but yeah, I'm kinda lost
Will do some more runs today, probably on my own

[fading vigil]

those five objects on the left of map looks like letters covered for me (MAP? _ _ )

or NA + MA

[past karma]

also it's interesting to see those particular tree marks/symbols
three of them are transparent on the left, and almost entirely filled with color on the right
I think there was an irl topological symbol for a mixed forest which looked like that (a tree with a half-transparent half-black crown), but I couldn't find it at all
maybe it was country specific

[fading vigil]

at least its def not needle trees

was looking for translate of pineneedle word from my language. found interesting moment:
Acerose leaf: More tecnical term, less popular.

Ace+rose, ace in games is five kills. we have five roses

[past karma]

This will do huge numbers in #1203859365610922036

[fading vigil]

if it could lead somewhere

this one even looks like one side of the triangle thing

[past karma]

Now with "bank it" gone, is there a way to free cam in private lobbies?

[low escarp]

i think spectator is the only way

[tranquil minnow]

This game has eggs

2025-S6?

[velvet narwhal]

I guess this skin bundle was intended for Season 6

[gusty timber]

The set is a red reskin of this set, with the same keycharm and engraving

[wraith karma]

What do the characters say?

[gusty timber]

'Boundry Breakthrough'

[vagrant mauve]

https://youtu.be/m3zlumhdoT4?si=_8eFXPbwev5W_pef

new lore video, already found this single frame with a strange filter. May be worth investigating but idk how to do those fancy photo effects lol

[velvet narwhal]

What does the "a taste of the past; simulated for the present" mean?
Are Tiger Fruit a virtual product?

or maybe it's a nutrition infusion and the experience of eating it is fully virtual

[keen cargo]

Pretty sure its an ad for meatspace

I think, all "real fruit" are extinct in the meatspace, OR they are locked away for the rich people only or something similar where the average person will never be able to get them

so now theyre growing genetically modified nuclear fruit to sell to the masses in literal garbage

[gusty timber]

Simulated in this sense means 'fake', not digital, the fruit is trying to resemble the taste of real fruit but clearly is full of non organic flavourings

[keen cargo]

yeah this

[gusty timber]

That, or more realistically real fruit can't be grown en masse anymore, or is just not financially viable to grow for big companies because of ecological collapse

[keen cargo]

yeah, this is likely more reasonable. my personal belief is that The Finals is living through/living before the ecological collapse mentioned in arc raiders

so it would make sense that theres literal islands made of garbage, where companies are growing nuclear fruit to sell to the masses, because the rest of the world is ecologically falling apart

i mean it makes sense to me that the lore would be about consumerism/ecological collapse/consequences of hypercapitalism/etc. since the developers are swedish and those themes/beliefs are really popular here in the nordics

[velvet narwhal]

hmmm alright, it's just kind of weird to me to use the word "simulated" in a world where the majority of life is spent in a simulated world

[gusty timber]

The connections to ARC are not concrete but not unfounded, all of THE FINALS' story revolves around hypercapitalism though ofc

[gusty timber]

Maybe it is in fact a link to the Virtual World, the way I saw it was mainly just legal/marketing jargon

[keen cargo]

yeah, its my personal belief, but I dont think "not concrete" is exactly correct since some of the same companies exist in both games
I personally think they're connected, we just dont know how exactly

Like, I would understand if it was just random reused assets, but one of the companies is prominent in one of the maps in a way where it can not just be "reused"

[gusty timber]

The two most concrete things linking the games is Ranzio and Jiangsu Romagna

[keen cargo]

Jiangsu Romagna yeah

[gusty timber]

and we don't know anything or much about either

[keen cargo]

It'll most definitely be confirmed over time when new quests/lore come out

Again, dont know to what extent

[white patrol]

when the collapse didn't happen :p

[unkempt dune]

I did notice the noisy frame. It's either a rendering mistake or the frame number is significant

I could maybe imagine that happening in Blender with cycles, but I'm not sure what they used for this video

[gusty timber]

I don't think this one is a blender animation, I think its-engine Unreal

feels less intensive then to render out in blender with post processing

[unkempt dune]

Majority, if not all, of the sponsor cinematics have been in Blender as seen in BTS footage

Maybe they arent our “pals” after alll

[subtle lotus]

This is why trentila is a sus sponsor. Fruit isn't even for consumption

[sharp mango]

yeah bro they were wearing a hazmat suit to pick it up

[winged seal]

They did say it’s “better” as they picked it from a landfill (ocean fill??)

[bleak tartan]

But Trentila is great! (Said by a person drowning in Trentila merch)

[subtle lotus]

I was asking about the roulette skin on the finals stream and got this response.
I tried looking on Vegas to see if any of the roulette tables would be what I needed to be next to but nothing popped. The main reason I asked about the skin is from the season one battle pass it shows a ball spinning in the middle so I've always thought that it was an oversight of not actually putting it in the game.

[fresh quiver]

ahhh. yes. the whiteboard 😄

[vagrant mauve]

Has anyone worked on the data download EE in Arc Raiders? It's in the spaceport vault. I wanna get a squad together at some point and start working on finding solutions but my usual squad has been busy. We should try to get something going on this (ik this is not the right game server but like you people are cool)

If you're willing to help work on it, just send a message in the EE lfg or Arc Raiders lore chat when the event goes active

[alpine junco]

What data download ee?

[fresh quiver]

they probably mean the way to get into the hidden bunker or similar.
A Puzzle. Not particular EE.

[vague anvil]

Hey y'all weird question; have y'all heard audio from Scotty and June that your technically not supposed to? While playing last night I overheard Scotty ask June a question that definitely wasn't on the air, later I swore I heard someone open a door and try to speak to my character but I couldn't make out what they were saying but it sounded like the arena announcer

[unborn pilot]

bro i thought the same thing when i saw it

i noticed those Ivada barcodes are all over Spaceport on the shipping containers

[fresh quiver]

digging some things back up.
that we might should try to include smh / keep in mind

thats smth we might need for L3?

[sharp flame]

oo helo

[fresh quiver]

yeah. just visited some things back and found this gem. But not sure if he meant it as "bonus clue" for L2 or L3.

[hard current]

Glad to see I’m not the only one still thinking about the hunt!!

[vagrant mauve]

There is some kind of puzzle or EE inside the bunker that involves interacting with 8 data download terminals.
@fresh quiver I am not referring to getting inside the bunker.

[coarse dagger]

My theory is you need to get all the data, extract, then go to a different map (potentially with a specific modifier) and upload it somewhere. I feel like there's a lot of possible upload locations on Blue Gate

[coarse dagger]

God, not to mention all the "X" Fiducial Markers on road signs, pieces of paper, etc. They're everywhere in the game

[vagrant mauve]

There is a communication tower on Spaceport. There's also a data vault on Blue Gate. Not a bad theory. I heard someone say that you need to download the data all at the same time, then have someone collect it all before the lights turn red. I expect something will happen if we successfully complete the portion inside the vault, letting us know to go somewhere else from there

@coarse dagger if you're ever free to look into it then I'm encouraging people to let each other know in the Arc Raiders lore channel/EE lfg in here when the bunker event starts.

[white patrol]

these are some important information, thanks sam!!

[turbid tinsel]

does this all mean that art provided after summer 2023 is meant for level 3 which is why half of the stuff we found in some images seemed irrelevant?

[unborn pilot]

Hah. I was trying to solve that this weekend. No luck 🙁 also that super long namatama number

[turbid tinsel]

the one at the bottom of that one image?

that wasnt official art

[unborn pilot]

Yeah the Namatama Concept Art

If you remember that Puzzle had the same set of numbers repeating three times.

We’re also on level 3 and looking for 3 NamaTamas so I’m trying to figure out if they might be coordinates of some sorts

[white patrol]

any relation between S4 Holtow Sun Insurance and S5 Aztec sun stone? 👀

[fresh quiver]

I still have things from rob in mind I cant even find anywhere.. But i am sure he said something along this lines "you are not at the level where you would already need this"

[unkempt dune]

Are you thinking of this? #easter-eggs message

there's probably a lot of similar messages 🤔

[fresh quiver]

similar. but more we found things and told us its for future things / etc

How come an Arc Raiders EE chat isn’t over in Arc Raiders discord?

[hard current]

don't think there is something like this hunt, if there is, it hasn't been discovered yet

[carmine trench]

I mean there’s a lot in there to ingest, quite a bit honestly

The hidden bunker puzzle alone seems to be a main focus at the moment

X marks the spot

LDH mentioned again

kind of

[crisp eagle]

And I assume we don’t know what those logos are yet on LDH

atleast magnecyl xD thats what I atleast remember

so this is lore

not EE hunt

which means

LDH is more important that we thought it was

[cold heart]

this sticker got added in todays update, to this bundle

dont think they have done that before

[low escarp]

could TmX be the name or in the name rob used for the google reviews?

[fresh quiver]

We have a lot of names he could use in his reviews…

Let me find it

[cold heart]

also a bit offtopic from regular EE stuff.. but there are teased skins for a "TGM25" event in the contestant menus

[wraith karma]

New clock charm released today, I’m not sure if it means anything but wanted to share.
(The time on the clock is 11:31)

[snow walrus]

every clock shows your local time in realtime

[wraith karma]

oh 😔, then this thing has nothing

[fresh quiver]

Wait until Rob tells us it’s the stains inside the clock
like the coffee stains from the periodic table image

[robust junco]

Its not that deep pal, its not that deep

😭😭

[dull marsh]

It's not

The fact that I can tell without checking back on the coffee stains is slightly worrying

But eh

[fresh quiver]

not said they are the same or similar. just like a joke. "imagine".

[dull marsh]

I know, but someone has to check, y'know

Because imagine 😂

[gusty timber]

yo

This is the character that was holding that map right?

It's a leek 😭

337558da-8280-41f8-9aae-b08847ee07f9 taken from the stream

I wonder if that was a leek easter egg charm we had to find on a map and we failed resulting in this

[snow walrus]

but what's the source of the code

[fresh quiver]

I have my doubts.
I guess rob would never give one of these EE awards away like this

[gusty timber]

was from the stream apparently, someone posted it in the main chat

[snow walrus]

I've seen random players posting the code in chat maybe they've solved the EE

[fresh quiver]

yeah. fair enough

[gusty timber]

I haven't been following the EE chat for a bit especially not around that map, but I didn't see any advancements in it so I just assumed it was time limited

[opal pond]

I have no clue, but I saw it getting posted when Oscar started talking about leaks on stream?

Maybe it was posted before that, I don't think it was Rob that posted it when I saw it getting send

[snow walrus]

i would say probably a private discord group has solved it and gave it away in the chat

[alpine junco]

where did the code come from

[snow walrus]

^

[alpine junco]

hmmm

[alpine junco]

well wouldnt it be the original leak not the burnt leak

[zinc trail]

[unkempt dune]

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but ospuze.com has been updated: https://www.ospuze.com/

felt #easter-eggs worthy 😛

[unborn pilot]

This makes me think the map is indeed for the 2nd or 3rd Namatama. The leek is probably the clue. In the photo he’s happy looking at the X. In that new charm he’s sad and X on him.

The first one we solved, the statue was looking at the X. Now the leek is looking at it.

[neon basin]

where is this image from?

[gusty timber]

rob posted it a while back

[neon basin]

ohh ok interesting

maybe not a miku collab then

[gloomy anvil]

guess that means we didn't find the charm in time

[austere rover]

Just noticed that there was a single moment in the Blast Off Sour Core video from Embark where there is a sticker and bust visible. Can't make anything of it right now though

(might be more? I couldn't find them if so)

@unborn pilot what was your reference to ed terry beth potentially missing an "i"

rob previously hinted at burrw by using messages that were missing "o"

@unborn pilot if we're going to look for diamon clues, I think we should start with T1_F

might be here...

Rob did say we didn't find any of the diamond clues

did we ever look into this for any sort of clues...

I can see it's on a grid pattern on forensicaly

ocko is missing from stockholm, i is not capitalized like the rest of the words near it

here's an interesting image rob posted before we solved the level 3 activation, never seemed to tie into anything

N O. As this is not a Easter Egg question.

But check the wiki. They could/should be there.
Maybe @gloomy anvil knows more if these are added on the wiki.

[foggy wedge]

Guys why is there random red and blue lights in skyway stadium?

Am I missing something obvious?

[fresh quiver]

do you have images of the red and blue lights?
Hard to know without images.

The Red lights on skyway COULD BE "Aviation Obstruction Lightning" aka obstruction lights.
But without images... hard to say

[foggy wedge]

No it was mid ranked game that I noticed it but the lights were inside buildings

Like the middle of the map

[fresh quiver]

this one?

[foggy wedge]

Yes

But blue

And I’ve found the red light in multiple places

[rugged breach]

I think we've only ever made note of the red lights, don't remember anything about blue

Do you remember what building the blue lights were in? Map condition?

[white patrol]

also green and yellow, the only blue light was this #easter-eggs message :3

[robust junco]

Hey

Was in game design class and someone mentioned how depending on browser and web software, the page will appear differently. Maybe someone can check out some finals websites on different browsers

Maybe a hint that is super small somewhere

[molten bridge]

As much as that can be the case, good software engineers know how to display content the exact same way on any browser. Though, exceptions include mobile, so "vastly" different environments. Not PC, though, not to my knowledge. There is even a website that lets you submit your HTML and CSS files to show if a specific browser has problems with it.

[robust junco]

Not that

What if since they are so good, they did it on one

As a hint

[fading vigil]

knowing Rob`s love to the demoscene and 80-s 90-s, i also thought about "run game in the lowest possible resolution\or somehow run it in 640x480"

[molten bridge]

I think you can force it to run in that resolution, albeit you have to deal with the consequences

NVidia control panel

640 x 480 is literally one of the options

[molten bridge]

I do think I saw something like "If Chrome" etc etc

[dusty ivy]

there are a couple of ways to display content on website differently depending on screen/window resolution.

not sure about the "if chrome", but there're some things that would only work in one or two browser engines.
i remember for example that safari has a css parameter that can manipulate the font colour depending on its background.

[molten bridge]

It was made for some backward compatible thing, I am pretty sure. Talking IE here, which still functions for some reason.

I have had 2 classes, one web dev, and one web programming. Dev was mainly HTML and CSS, and the tools to test on which browsers will it have errors, and programming was JS with expansion on the logic of the 1st class. I think it was in the 2nd class that I saw it.

[dusty ivy]

oh no don't get me wrong, it is a thing. not saying it isn't!
just nowadays it's barely used because it used to be that web engines used slightly different syntax for same parameters. (don't quote me on that tho i have an awful memory and i didn't touch this stuff in years)

[robust junco]

But that's why they would use jt

No one would think to check and maybe its more of a hint that we find, maybe some numbers or image somewhere super small

[dull crow]

has anyone discovered the practice range challenges easter egg yet?

[odd sequoia]

but this.. this is some real leeks: https://www.twitch.tv/thefinals/clip/ArtsyPuzzledTubersSwiftRage-C-xJZzPASf0VSUgY

he goes from Season 9 to 10 to 12 though 🤔

I guess Season 11 will be skipped

[swift mulch]

lmao

[woeful cipher]

11 will be lit with the comeback of || terminal security rank like in ~ season 3 ||

[unkempt dune]

that's the wallpaper which could be fan art

[fresh quiver]

urgh. playing cards again in this image 😂

[unkempt dune]

playing cards?

[fresh quiver]

you cant tell me this aint playing cards

I thought it looked familiar, forgot about this post

[dull marsh]

Didn't he mention leeks at the end of the stream too?

[fresh quiver]

but tbh. he has some things on his desktop 😂

[unkempt dune]

he talks about leeks and leek soup twice:

• https://www.twitch.tv/thefinals/clip/SullenHomelyKathyOSfrog-Cx-xxnebQCKznJsH
• https://www.twitch.tv/thefinals/clip/ObeseNiceNightingaleCclamChamp-xPsU66o-Ho6nce4m

the way he looks at the camera when talking about leeks is suspicious

do you think it's a S9 tease besides the charm?

[inner sand]

rob already leaked what it would be

[unkempt dune]

besides the charm though

[crisp eagle]

flashing nama tama. he underlines it a few times with his curser

[hard forge]

OYE 😭

[unkempt dune]

looks like morse code

[unkempt dune]

is that what it says?

it looks like the nama tama is in the page https://www.reachthefinals.com/major25

a url link it looks like

man, I was too slow

I blame the python script I wrote up

[swift mulch]

I just used good old photoshop to see the frames and a notepad to note it all down 😅

[unkempt dune]

I was originally doing file sizes to determine if they were blank or not, but I lost track and decide to do a script instead

[swift mulch]

Clever

[crisp eagle]

maybe the password has to do with him mentioning 5 liters and/or 55 kilograms

[unkempt dune]

I was thinking that portion was a bit suspicious, but not sure what it could point to

[gloomy anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-family-feud-gif-9979730309376176542

oh my god

we're back

[swift mulch]

Can't be a coincidence

caesar shift also makes sense since it's a roman tama

[fading vigil]

That’s why I started from it, yeah

[rugged breach]

If we make a thraad on this can someone @ me so I cqn add it to the directory in the morning please? Literally last thing I checked before bed lol 🥲

Gl! O7

[crisp eagle]

how did you get 0-e and 7-u though?

[swift mulch]

I can't remember, did we have any specific password rules? Like always in lowercase etc?

[gloomy anvil]

Rob has only mentioned password rules in the context of specific levels, but I would start with just lowercase as usual

[crisp eagle]

so far they all have been, but level 3 we don't know

[swift mulch]

aight thanks

[fading vigil]

Pasted in translate, then swapped languages and compared words with string

[crisp eagle]

5 liters and 55 kilograms.
55 = EE
maybe as in LEEK

[gloomy anvil]

the letters they replace in the conversion from d0lectamentump7rrum to delectamentum purum

[fading vigil]

Also solo 5 can be S (leetspeak)

SEE

[gloomy anvil]

I don't get the "leek" translation though

[crisp eagle]

wouldn't the 0 and 7 change too in the shift?

[fading vigil]

Double R in purrum?

[dense grove]

It might actually be porrum

[gloomy anvil]

yes, it is

porrum = leek

[dense grove]

I am new to the easter egg page, I just found this so I cant send images yet

[dense grove]

Ty

[gloomy anvil]

so 0=e, 7=o ?

[fading vigil]

Both ways is leek tho

[hard forge]

Raid since you are here can you pin the link posted by enigma

[crisp eagle]

Delightful Leek

so maybe that doesn't help us with the password, and is just the name given. But now that I've said that, we will find the password through that because my suggestion is wrong haha

Caeser shift of 3 just in case that number is important

[fading vigil]

Or 23 - depends on +or -

It’s a bit odd, my birthday is 23 of march - 23 03

someone said numbers in the corners then deleted it? but there are indeed characters in the corners

it's mirrored

what corner is that?

[gloomy anvil]

Isn't it the same reflection

[alpine junco]

yes

[crisp eagle]

SNEAK?

[alpine junco]

maybe we flip the file name around?

[white patrol]

I think it's Sneak+ yeah

extra sneaky?

[gloomy anvil]

The + I assume is there for the same reason as the + in the filename

5n34k / 5n34k+ is } via base64 but that might be a coincidence

just use the same shift

invalid code, still looks like one

10b1f8a9-6e57-9cbe-bbc8-313d4ad59ca5, invalid

shift the numbers too

shift if -5 right

[fading vigil]

Ah, made the same

now change all 8's to e's maybe

[gloomy anvil]

maybe the original key of e=0 and o=7?

[fading vigil]

Wait, 8-5=3

[swift mulch]

Yea I think o

[fading vigil]

It’s a leet

[gloomy anvil]

that's what I thought at first too but don't know if it would still work as a code

Someone told me the story like 2 days ago actually

Thats why embark is the best

[swift mulch]

Fair point about Terminal Attack! I wanted to play Finals since release, but simply never got around to it. Until I had holidays, felt like a shooter, battlefield had to update and I suddenly remembered the finals. Downloaded and hooked ever since 😅

[woeful cipher]

I saw some Betta stuff randomly and then checked that the game was already mid season 1 when I downloaded it xD

[dawn crater]

I wish I played the beta more man

wasnt as hooked on the game back then as I am now

still played valoshit at that time (Biggest mistake of my life btw)

[fading vigil]

Not the biggest:
im that one who made a preorder of BF2042 for full price 😄

[dawn crater]

🥀

[white patrol]

my condolences

[fading vigil]

You know, despite all the problems on launch - it was a good, interesting change in “default BF”. But people want “new old BF”, with new stuff but without any new stuff.
And it became what it became.
BF Portal was the biggest selling point for me

[white patrol]

tbf yeah not as bad as COD type of losing identity, I've played it at some point, feels like a ok shooter, just not as BF as other ones I guess

[fading vigil]

Cod died for me, when the only style of play became “yolo 360 no scope jump headshot”
I remember old CODs, when they were about WW2 and single player… with slow gameplay, wise cover choosing etc

Anyway, now we have embark and two best online shooters, that will rule them all 😄

I will then update my message

my bad, they did work!! i had arc raiders selected at the top instead of TF, smh! thanks!

Ahhh makes sense. No worries! Glad you got to redeem them 😉

I’m clueless about -<<<>

because the one with the map has a different face (and it has a map)

Presumably yes

[crisp eagle]

[unkempt dune]

I think it's just an ASCII leek

[severe creek]

Curious if the descriptions of our leek charms so far will help with the map leek? With "Big Red X" and "Under Pressure" feeling like key phrases

[dense grove]

Does the map correspond with any actual in game locations? Sorry if someone already said

oh maybe

I'm gonna headcanon the heart theory regardless

I tried looking at some map layouts, reminds me of skyward stadium but I will keep looking, I forgot about Kyoto

It could be this area on skyway stadium perhaps

Where top right on that map represents construction

Great job on the leek stuff guys!!

I wish we could get a clue for the hunt tho 👀🥹

It's always possible that the leek with a map is related to the hunt

And we think there was one or multiple Bowie clues in the past. Can’t fully remember

[low escarp]

we found 1 golden nama in game
and 2 leeks outside the game
maybe the leek map leads us to some place thats not ingame maybe something we can find on google maps
or the leek map is a code in some way that gets us to a website
