yeah
I wonder where the leek is
No idea about what that could potentially mean yet
im still confident that the map is vegas
Leek of the Land - Knows the layout before QA does.
do you think it's the Season 9 map?
I feel like that might be it
It's likely
gj everyone :D
could anybody pull me up to date on where we are at and what we have? been playing for a min an js learned abt the EE's earlier this week and js joined the disc td, i have basically no knowledge aside from the roses, the nama tickets and the monkeys, if anybody could help feel free to dm it would be awesome to catch up
Various Easter eggs, secrets, clues, and references are hidden in and around THE FINALS. Whether it's discovering lore, solving a small piece of a puzzle, or making a massive breakthrough in the big hunt, there is always something new to see, explore, and uncover. And remember... stay curious out there, hunter.!
...
I'm thinking of changing Trailer Easter Eggs to include website EEs too, so we can write about the leek charms
right now they have nowhere to fit in
LDH now has a place to go too
although that is technically an Embark EE not Finals related 
decisions decisions how ever will I cope

the moment that we had two leeks form one page\object.. maybe we should re-check old stuff for changes?
@snow walrus thanks broski š
One of easy ways to find something on the pages: ctrl+a
The little notches around the perimeter of the circle stage always bothered me
Congratulations!

Thank you 
Monaco Duck and Cover
RHB has a video shocasing where it is
In case you haven't found it yet: https://youtu.be/gRSnYu46Zxs?list=PLL-wKrN8gfB63sFVlnFSLj_hbyqlk4ck1&t=23
In Episode 12 of Beyond The Walls, I look at a bunch of Easter Eggs in THE FINALS, including a new find the Easter Egg hunters made on the Monaco map.
This series covers hot topics and news about Embark Studios' games, THE FINALS and the in-development ARC Raiders, and their communities, as well as updates about Easter Eggs relating to the game...
Have we figured out anything on the multico documents?
Also the roses coming out the chefs cutting board from season 3 trailer
Thats just a season 3 battle pass emote. Those are bits of an enemy statue that you cut up
I finally got to see it myself, thank you! Is anyone still hunting for the other 2? I wanna help 
Have we found out why S1 Trailer Nama is wearing "Green eyeshade/Dealer's Visor"?
Green eyeshades or dealer's visors are a type of visor that were worn most often from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century by accountants, telegraphers, copy editors, and others engaged in vision-intensive, detail-oriented occupations to lessen eye strain[1] due to early incandescent lights and candles, which tended to be harsh (the classic banker's lamp had a green shade for similar reasons).
the Featherweight Eyeshade Company, described their eyeshade as "healthful, color peculiarly restful to the eyes".[4] They retain some popularity in the gambling community.[5]
Back then Casino workers wear this for eye protection? I'm not sure if Casinos were that incandescent light-intensive...
But anyways, The cards Nama tossed were clues,
is in there too, I think there's a good reason Nama was wearing this hat? or purely a design choice
Dealing with the cards you've been dealt
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The hat was a S1 Battle Pass reward as well
Ohhh icic :3 thankies raid!! is this solved or semi solved or didn't find where it leads yet? (Fear and loathing)
Fear and Loathing has a ton of connections in level 3, but we don't know if it specifically leads somewhere other than to the themes we've already identified (Las Vegas, gambling, rock and roll, Terry Gilliam, white rabbit, the matrix). It's sort of like a big web that connects a bunch.
I imagine it was intended as a starting point considering its immediate relation to Season 1 content and the core level 3 themes.
mmm good point, I'll check miro for details, thanks raid <33
I actually don't know if Miro has all the Fear and Loathing connections
but it has some
icic :3c
wtf til learn about fear and loathing connections
isnt its Bernal? "X" pointing to the Amphitheater? The platform that rotates and comes upward
@swift mulch
you trollin' right, Impy?

Very possible too! Itās hard to tell.
Have we done anything with DCXXII as roman numerals or something yet? I just went through the pins in this text channel, and there was an overlooked screenshot from RHB where Rob made a random comment with non-specific words, and some words had full caps, "DONT," "CRUCIAL," "XENON," "XYLOPHONE," "INSPIRING," and "INTERESTING." The first letter of each word makes DCXXII which is 622 in Roman Numerals. Im so sorry if this has already been discussed, its nearly a year old but I havent heard anything of it.
The Hijrah, (Arabic: Ų§ŁŁŲ¬Ų±Ų©, romanized: al-Hijrah, lit.ā'migration') also Hegira (from Medieval Latin), was the journey the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his followers took from Mecca to Medina. The year in which the Hijrah took place is also identified as the epoch of the Lunar Hijri and Solar Hijri calendars; its date equates to 16 July...
Prophet Muhammad and the early Muslim community migrated from Mecca to Medina. The migration was so important it marks year 1 on the islamic calendar (1 AH)
Thatās the biggest thing I can find on 622
The ByzantineāSasanian War of 602ā628, also called the Last Great War of Antiquity, was fought between the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Empire. It was the final and most devastating conflict of the RomanāPersian wars (54 BC ā AD 628). The previous war between the two powers had ended in 591 after the emperor Maurice helped the Sasan...
I think i overthought it, nevermind
Eating breakfast will boot pc to look further in a few mins
The casino wheel adds up to 622, instead of 666. Rob's Roman numerals added to 622, the date April 4, April is the 4th month. April 4th is 44. 622+44=666.
Rob made a comment over a year ago on an RHB youtube video that had little to no significance other than a little fun EE and I dont think anyone knew that.
I think that's really neat
Its almost 7 am, im sleeping now.
Thank you!
is the TFEE club in game locked & exclusive, or would i be able to join? :3
I've hunted a ton and was in the private lobby when the Nozomi/Citadel ticket hunt was completed š the finals runway subreddit's club im in rn is inactive i need friends
Congrats on getting the final leek charm, did you all figure out what the map was?
Is there a chance its a new map?
I'm sure you can join 
Just send a request and @hard forge will let you in
he can't say no now
ily, didn't realize you had to leave your other club for the option to come up, i sent my request, I'm UnusualWarrior#2654 ā¤ļø
next time I launch the game I will accept it.
might as well join this thread #1315487140020224100
thank you sm!
couldnt get a better angle or maybe didn't try the right gear/gadget to angle it any better. here is most of the top half of the "leek map" : )
By chance, could I also join 
everyone is welcomed
I have scoured the map layouts on every arena, and I could not find a really good match. It could be on Monaco, Bernal, and perhaps skyway stadium? But seeing as the new season is in less than 3 weeks, I'm pretty sure it will be something on a new arena they will release.
good possibility
Noticing our recent Lost In Space clues also connects to Zorro. Both had the same lead actor Guy WILLIAMS (ofc another William)
hihiii wrong chat :3
Any thread talking about this map??? Cuz i think it leads from the deposit on the map border (under iseult suspended structure) into the pool or a nearby house on Bernal
Found during one of my World Tour episodes, just wanted to share this slice of history I found in Monaco (found in the park area in-game). The link is to the image of this plaque, which is the only available photo on the internet I could find. Hope this is as interesting to you as it was to me
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jardins_Saint-Martin_-_monaco_-_panoramio_-_kajikawa.jpg#Summary
can someone collaborate if this matches IRL?
Did we ever thought that L3 coordinates arenāt the āgpsā coordinates?
And can be vectors, or some sort of other math thing to be calculated or transformed into coordinates?
gimme a sec, I'll just pop the coords into google maps and put a link in
all of monaco is scanned/referenced from irl
Isnāt it not on the same spot ingame and irl?
I believe it is, but I can't find the front of it on street view..
so here's a horrifyingly long link to the page with another view of it from a photo someone else took (second photo looks like the back of it?)
There are quite a few other monuments there as well that are also in The Finals map, so do look around! Cool stuff to see

Found this pic in one of the comments in Monaco. Isnāt it an ospuze octopus?

link for a spot, 2 years ago comment was added
Woaaaah, that does look strikingly similar
shame the palace was not included in the map
You know, I was thinking about "taking care of the garden" as Rob or someone put it as I found this..
There is a map we haven't unlocked yet
Beautiful little read 
He did one say that the secret map has always been in rotation.
I thought that it means āthe map rotationā is a secret, not a āsecret map in rotationā
Thank you soooo much!
What if the map on the leek is a clue to the secret map
It'd be interesting if somehow there was a secret map that you could queue for
the only thing akin to this that I'm aware of would be the secret room on sys$horizon
Ive always had a hunch that the secret room on sys$ is near that loading⦠building /further down the alley
maybe that "loading..." is a clue like we had with nozomi tickets..
do we know what the "SYS 64738" sticker is about?
reset routine for C64
we don't know the significance of it showing up in the hunt though
Imo the best clue that we've gotten so far is that everything that we need to solve the master ee is in the game itself, signs and all. Apparently we just have to open our eyes and see them, I must be blind .-.
I think the official art clues are very important too
I don't recall Rob saying that 
I think all heās said thatās similar (and probably what Infamous means) is that we do already have everything we need.
He said everything can be solved without him with what we have.
#1292576119849095210 message he said it here
Is there a chance this charm might do something in certain areas of the game when equipped? I know the rules about no paywalls, but since this is a free item...
the more I think about it though, it could just be hinting at us needing to go back to where we got this one on the website again to find the other one, which we already did.
Iāve noticed that glitchy effects at the video ending is missing in the s9 teaser
I forgot about this one.
"They all point to one thing: 1.2.3."
Makes me wonder if "everything" ultimately links to Alice in Wonderland, then. Since our original 1:23 clue was AiW. And whenvever we discovered that he said something like "now think about all the AiW clues you have."
Hey yall. Long time reader, first time commenting. I apologize if this has been said before, but is the practice range rose Easter egg done? I remember reading something about it being closed or turned off after the practice range changes in season 7 and 8.
Far from done, you can see more here
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1203859365610922036
I imagine if it wasnāt all already out there weād have more clues too :/ as it is we havenāt even solved 50% of the clues weāve received for this level
We FOUND a lot of them⦠we still havenāt found the golden namas either
Or the large WR
Thanks!
all 3 of the easter egg hunt gun charms have shown invalide redeem code, I have checked for spaces in front and back, does anyone know what could be happening? (been using this code: 0c829f47-80fd-4452-8928-783719735cff)
you need to swasp from ARC Raiders to THE FINALS
top right
I think he means "the secret map" as in there's literally a map for us to find in some type of code within monaco, skyway stadium and seoul.
1 2 3 as in corners of a pyramid
or triangle i should say
Info from the wiki :
On November 19, Rob gave two hints towards either one or multiple Level 3 passwords on Waterdance's Twitch stream. He began by telling hunters: "you can fill in the following codes on Level 3: X Y, double R, one X two."[26] A few minutes later, he referred to a password as "not very hard to figure out" and having "R R in the middle."[27]
On December 4, 2024, the 'VAULT HUNTER SET' bundle was released with update 4.10.0. It includes the 'FOSSIL FORTUNE' charm, 'LOST LEGACY' spray, and 'EXHIBITION GRADE' AKM skin.
Three numbers, only a third of each being visible. The numbers are suspected to be 10.53, 24.71, and 44.58, which are the respective land areas in km² of Europe, North America, and Asia.
A sequence of Greek letters: "ĪĪĪĪ„ĪĪ©Ī" (Kappa, Alpha, Lambda, Upsilon, Delta, Omega, Nu).
"I WE WHO".
A 2009 study by the University of Reading points to "I", "we", "who", "two", and "three" as being among the first words used in human language. This connection has not yet been confirmed.
"SENIDENARY", a Latin term meaning "grouped by 16."
I feel like the "X Y, double R, one X two" would be the best place to start, because he just said to fill it in, and have R R in between them. Could be X and Y coordinates or something on a graph
Maybe it's just a replacement
Like X = G, and Y = O
And we're looking for a word like GORR1G2
Gorilla
did someone check the tutorial map with the leek map?
@dark leaf / @small coral
Not sure what was funny about that questionā¦
For some reason I'm thinking back of Ludo's Argon theory. There was also some clue about leaks. And Argon is stored under pressure.
But it's probably far fetched
Farfetchād has a leek. Iām sorry. I had to
"take care of the garden" means rose ee right?
Cuz weve also got a secret room on sys so idk which one of the two it refers
Most likely the roses I think
Thatās what I think
Whatever the Roses lead to ultimately have been here since launch. And then with his other gardening clues about the Roses, I assume it opens up a āmapā of some kind.
NPK is still unsolved all though some steps were made =\
I think we have to plant them somehow before we can water them
They must be interactive for a reason
resting place of william the conqueror looks a lot like the cathedral in monaco
i wondering if William was a clue back to shakespeare
I'm gonna be real William was the most common men's name in England for centuries
I feel like our William connections are mostly just that
He is on to somethingā¦
wait mistery man just to be another william 
Theres only the one building, and the other areas didnt line up
Would it be possible to get added to the Practice Range Thread?
Tagged you in it š
Or did you mean for the map? Thereās none
I think you'll need to be level 1 to type in threads - #šārank-check
Yea for now you can just use this main channel to talk about it until then
I missed it today. Was there anything in the community stream today? Not sure if there is usually lore in there or not, just checking
That reminds me.. look what I saw the other day
Turns out quite a few veils use them
the one i posted is the tudor rose so maybe there is a garment related to a king or queen with similar design

Is this egg hunt still going
Do we have map based objectives rn or is it mostly theory
yes, its still ongoing.
Rob told us we would have everything we need for Level3 passwords. Now we sitting on L3 for over a year š«
both. The main hunt is mostly theory tho
what do you mean with texture?
rob nver said anything with "texture" in this context
wat
i am confused a bit, could you train to explain it in other ways?
I think some of us are confused here, not me alone
Dude looks so familiar to me
Maybe you can find the correct person corresponding to this image? š
All of us think he looks familiar. But none of us can figure out from where or who he is
To me, it looks too much like Descartes
Trying to find an image of him
Maybe I'm just gaslighting myself into believeng it is
yeah.... about descartes
š
You can try to find a picture what fits 1:1 for him.
But i think many of us already looked descartes up
Can't send pics, but hold up
hairlines on the left side mostly doesnt fit descartes
Feel free to send me them via DM if you cant send any.
Sent you a req
If you can find out exactly who this is I'm giving you an ultimate battlepass next season
from @fringe heath
he did some photoshop on a regular descartes image...
and as of now i got me a bit on the unsure hand if we might could have been wrong about "it isnt decartes"
On it haha
Man itās close
it is, but aint it
Just tell me itās him so I can have closure. Please
In theory the image would not be only thing hidden to point to this man.
If rob worked as usual he might gave us clues to him beforehand.
i.E. the multiple hints over multiple Images that lead to JBB etc.
That would cost me 30 bucks š„²
I'm not sure. There are similarities but also differences
I really feel like this dude is gonna appear in some painting or something
Ah this is why Iām read only. Thank you!
I FOUND IT
no way
Your right
Its French philosopher
Yes... but...
I want that battle pass please
What?
It's not an exact match
How
I changed the curve of the image, but I'm unsure that that's Descartes
Mustache, clothing, left eyebrow arch
You matched it to his picture, not the mysterious man
The nose matches, but the forehead is bigger
Its the same
Wdym
This is the guy we are looking for
Oh
Lol then who was the guy I looked for
šššššsorry
lollllllll
Someone Malibu though looked quite like him
Haha no worries
Iām not giving the battlepass that easily x)
Where did this guy come.from
From a descartes portrait
When looking for our mystery man, these are the biggest facial defining features I have been looking for.
- Thick brow ridge
- Big nasolabial fold around mouth
- Large buccal hollow beneath the zygomatic bone
- Periorbital puffiness below his eyes
- Protruding chin
- His hairstyle
- No facial hair
No examples so far have ticked all these boxes, and we don't know which clues specifically could lead to our guy
my biggest giveaway for this guy is the hairline. especially the prominent edge/corner
no promiment edge/corner = not our guy.
If we manage to find this exact picture, for sure! But if it's some "famous" person and we happen to stumble upon a different picture that looks like him then we need to keep a broader eye out
had some of this where other parts fitted.
But havent found any image of them with this edge.
Ever pic I have seen so far had some mismatches where I was able to clearly tell it was not our guy
My idea is to find someone where I could be like: this really is him, and then look for different content of that person to find an exact match
But I'm afraid this is not some "famous" guy that has 100 different images of him, and some other clues should lead us to an image or painting where he is a part of.
The main issue is the color, which would give us waaay more info
I found an image of Descartes that looks a bit more like our guy, but dunno
Dissun is related with power right?
One of the most relevant families in Europe was the MƩdici family
Correct, where power might also have a double meaning
not sure if EE or bug, but if you go to customize a weapon and click from Overview to Animations you can spin the camera to see the Finals backrooms
surely a bug but that grey shape & the sphere mesh in the bg are interesting
Pictures for reference
wow haha
inspect the flashbang with light class, it's the size of the Matriarch's bahah
Those are the backgrounds for lobby
And the sphere must be the camera and its limits for looking around
Well I'm confused.
It reminds me of like a heatmap showing players or something. But it also seems like it might be a clip from a lore teaser. Idk the biggest hint to what it means is definitely the fact Japan is lit up like a Christmas tree
I think these are simply just lights as seen from space at night in populated areas
Yep that seems like it š
Idk what that has to do with s9 tho or why Europe has like no lights.
I mean Season 9 > Asia
This doesn't really explain Australia or Africa. Maybe we're getting an APAC region or something? Still doesn't explain Africa tho
have we tried identifying this place in the world yet?
Wait... Maybe the video is reversed, and the cinematic will be played to zoom in on a Shanghai map
I think itās just zooming out from Shenzhen to tell us thatās where the next map is maybe?
Therefore the new map will be Shanghai?
Shenzhen is way too far south, it starts closer to Shanghai I think
The Longhua Temple (simplified Chinese: é¾å寺; traditional Chinese: é¾čÆåÆŗ; pinyin: LónghuĆ” SƬ; Shanghainese: Lon-ngu-zy; alternatively Lunghwa Temple; literally "Dragon Flower Temple") is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha in Shanghai. Although most of the present day buildings date from later reconstructions, the temp...
Ngl i think I been to this temple
I was looking here
Anyone know if this says anything fancy?
Can't remember which set this is from but i found it on the rangeline carrier upper back
I'm not confident with my translator thingy, but I got "Failure to connect consciousness"
ooo Spooky
I got āConsciousness failureā if it helps any
I think world tour
Has anyone looked into all of the credit scrolls? They seem almost like an Easter egg in and of themselves, but season 8's didn't really have any lore or leaks that I could find.
Still crazy that this has existed the whole time though, why has nobody been talking about this?
Has anyone noticed little hats around monico?
While I was playing power shift, there was a little Mexican hat at the bottom of the ladder near the church, and I shot it and it blew up into little coins, could that mean anything?
have a picture?
either you can forward it to me or you can send an imgur link
tbh. "Final Advice" could sound like rob.
It's also latin for Bear, so another connection to Greek/Rome etc
im assuming this has already been posted but if not here ya go
im assuming the "-O" would mean Odilla?
shes mentioned in some other flavor text in ursa's items
I think most hints point towards 3 main categories, no? We have a lot of connections to the Bible/Mythology, a lot of connections to Space, and a lot of connections to Mediterranean counties. Maybe the trick is finding where they are intersect? Common ground between them?
O = Oscar, Oscar is canon
š
There is a thread about that https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1289041185549324288 :)
can you post the image in imgur and send the link or send me the image in dms ill post it here
Hi!
I do, atleast once when they come out and mostly also transcribe them for the discord.
We have a thread where we collected all transcribed credit scrolls
It's really sus to me that all these are on discount at the same time.
Hot Gossip
Golden Egg
Roses
Holtow QR
In approx 23.5 hours we will likely be getting some pretty big reveals (at the major). I don't expect anything EE wise but y'know anything is possible, altho lore wise definitely. Maybe Rob is trying to tell us something? Idk.
"there are no things hidden in shop items" Also embark: discounting specifically the sets that COULD have clues 𤣠/ have connections to our EEs from names
This is really sus, rob probably handpicked those
55 50 41 54 33 47
mean anything?
hex to ascii maybe:
U P A T 3 G
switch things around can be UPGAT3 but I don't think it means anything
rose next to sun insurance tho
"as a rose you don't diss the sun"
didn't we already have this
it really feels like rob handpicked these.
If G was D, it could be UPDAT3
G->D is -3 shift
All shifted gives: RMXQ3D
Or can it be āUp at 3Gā(g is a gravity constantā)
3 Ć 9.81 m/s² ā 29.4 m/s²
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
LETS FIND SOME EE'S
Happy Thanksgiving hunters 
I don't know if the constellation itself has any connections but it's certainly intentional as Ursa's lore is all about the Grand Major
(and Odilia)
There's that IIIIi logo, are there any other logos on it?
looks like that's the only one
So likely connected to Dissun. Maybe the Early-Talent Program was some procedure with Redstream that turned him into his skin. š
is that a Dissun logo? I can't remember
there's an animation at the bottom of the cape, probably nothing 
Ursa major has some interesting things IMH.
- I think we had northern star / Polaris somewhere back in the days?
-> the Stellar Configuration of Big Dipper mimics the shape of the "Little Dipper" Dubhe and Merak can be used as the navigational pointer towards the place of the current northern star - covers around 1279.66 square degrees or 3.10% of the total sky. third largest constellation.
-> Pharo SETI died in 1279 bc. (12 and 79) from one of @dull marsh textwalls. - Alioth is the brightest star in the constellation with a magnitude of 1.76. (we had 176 somewhere)
- 47 Ursae Majoris is a Sun-like star with a three-planet system.
- Some Messier galaxies can be found in the constellation.
- The bright planetary nebula "Owl Nebula" (M97) can be found along the bottom of the bowl of the Big Dipper.
- Ursa Major is mentioned by such poets as Homer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Tennyson
what's the golden egg thing on sale?
8: H.A. Rey had a different asterism in mind for Usa Major in his book "The Stars: A new way to see them"
"A new way to see them"
could be read as "Open your Eyes" see it from another angle, direction etc
Second one. It has many Xs on that bundle
ok that's what I thought, but wanted to make sure. It also has our Lost spray
it's on a lot of Dissun cosmetics
OH yeah...
9: As Ursa Major is one of the OG 43 Constellations it is mentioned in **Uranias Mirror" which we got as clue sometime
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursa_Major_(sculpture)
William 
Year 1966
Ursa Major is a public art work by artist William Underhill formerly located at the Lynden Sculpture Garden near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The trapezoidal abstract sculpture is made of Cor-Ten steel; it was installed on the lawn.
we didn't actually get Urania's Mirror as a clue, it was a theorized connection during T3
In theory...
Something that "is under a hill" could be named a burrow correct?
its just too much after all this time to try remember what was where etc xD
61ml > 61 million lightyears > adromeda
61 could be 19 upside down
which connects back to the sun
also the activation password for level 3
it also just so happens 19 is AI
yeah 19 is a lot
19 = slies + cetacea + asconce
19 = commence + promise + hunt
19 = las vegas + monaco + kyoto (also works with Seoul as the Asia location)
19th Tarot card = Sun
1 sun 9 planets (orbits, heliocentrism, Rob has said multiple times that Pluto is a planet)
19 = AI
1 X, 9 dashes in the "X-Citing Discovery" sticker, that is also shaped like an S, and S = 19th letter
and of course the numerous 19 clues in WRD3HM.png that pointed to the activation password length
In this hunt we accept that Pluto is a planet
I feel really bad for Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Ceres, Sedna, Orcus, Quaoar and many more for being left out. Pluto might have friends but what about these poor fellas š
!coinflip 3
No, you should probably not 3.
First picture is from Arc Raiders and the second is from Battlefield 6. A type 6 EE between game devs?? šš
My fellow hunters
Will anybody else be watching the grand major tonight
If not, i will (do my best) to be the documenter
Of any easter eggs in the broadcast or the chat
The chat will be my struggle point so if theres someone else willing to help me with that i would be very happy
thank you soldier we wish you luck
Ill do my damn best to screenshot any messages that could be easter eggs
Iām expecting cns to be in chat or do some evil things
mean!!
No, scientific consensus. I donāt make the rules š„ŗ
what is science? all I know is saint rob and he said that thing is fun if you know it's secrets
Unlike Pluto, heās right about that!
Are you saying Rob is wrong? How dare you!! Your execution date is tmr >:3 it's been fun.. I'm sorry
in theory Pluto is just not a notable Solar system planet anymore.
Its still a dwarfplanet which has "planet" in it. So its a Planet.
both happy? good!
Case closed
I was joking sam š but I appreciate it xDDD
I always come from the sideline and jump in š
Always the same with me
Sup, yall know anything about ARG on reachthefinals/major 25?
there is a little icon of Nama Tama with a spear, in a rome helmet. If you click on it he leads you to an audiofile with morse code message
We took a look at this a couple days ago and it leads to a charm!
I can link the solution if you'd like, it's fun to decode though if you wanna give it a shot š
I could use a link just in case i get tired of decoding, thx
yoo the cow in the finals stream had a rose in his hand
moolah
yessir
real shit
Who is this GOAT
hi its me i got no proof cuz i cant post images lol
your pfp is a good proof lol
legend š
i did talk with rob but before i made the banner
i might show him it and get something
info wise
New code on stream ?
cns messing with the break š
anyone got any good question ideaa i could ask him?
what does MW.AREA mean XD
not really, it overlaid the koi fish, the silhouette of cns, and then their normal splash screen glitched over the gameplay
Ask him there the big WR is š
Tysm!!! <33
If I had one chance to ask Rob one question, I'd want to know (definitively) if completing level 3 requires going somewhere physically (like finding a Nama Tama in Stockholm or something).
But he probably won't be quick to spill answers to anything.
didnt he mention recently they had to hide some physical statues because noone could locate them?
He said something about it in EkaZoko's chat. "we had to remove the IRL statues while waiting... thought people would find them a months ago"
tbh if I was there, in Stockholm, I'd try to sneak in a mention of that 
there are hidden figures(golden eggs) in IRL and in-game maps
I would hope that the irl statues would just be codes
The thing is that's the only time he's ever somewhat confirmed it. If it wasn't for that message in one Twitch chat, the IRL statues would still be 90% speculation, and there's no way any EE hunter will fly out somewhere to look for something that they don't 100% know is there.
there is an eyed message about IRL locations that we need to go iirc
My theory has been that getting the passwords will reveal new info leading to the IRL statues, and that's why Rob was confident to remove them because we weren't close to finding them.
So we're still on the pre-IRL stage of level 3 now.
But that's just speculation.
he said in twitch "golden statues" not "golden eggs" so my guess is golden eggs are in the arena and the statues are IRL
yes, although a golden nama tama does represent a golden egg
and the ones in the arenas are statues
this doesnt count? #easter-eggs message
I see how this message implies there are IRL statues but "on earth" can also be read as just 'not in space', so I wouldn't rely on it as confirmation.
Rob said this before #easter-eggs message but also could just be about the golden namas in game
i would agree with your statement if all rob said was "not in space". but when he says "not in X. its in Y and Z" you cant really say that Y might imply X or Z. everything is stated explicitly.
I think it's possible to read it as though the two focuses are "not in space" and "in the arenas", and "on earth" is just putting emphasis on the former.
well i guess we just see things differently. to me the emphasis and the big bombshell is in the middle of that sentence, as he never explicitly said that before. we already knew the namatamas are in the arenas.
RHB: Where does Namatama like to go on holiday?
Gets eyed by rob
quite unusual now I think of it, RHB's message doesn't really have any "information" for rob to "š" react, since "š" usually means confirmation about something
it can be "hmm interesting question here" and that's it, but I think there's might be more to it
Maybe "like to go on holidays" matters?
Rob replied: Three places, X, X, X
3 X, 3 maps, 3 X marks the spots
Thinking about connecting IRL "Holiday spots" and "google map comment clues" together :3
Definitely probably the irl component
did we ever find rob's google account?
Did new map images get posted in here yet?
did they show something on stream?
yea its legit i saw a vid on the subreddit
I mean like legit as in like a map teaser. I'm not watching the broadcast atm
i mean yea it is a map teaser, but its mostly those two screens with glitch effects
we getting the realdeal tomorrow
My take on this:
Without finding Rob's google account, cracking this will be semi-impossible. It may be related to the trips embark employees take for research purposes, for example the most recent one in China. If we find one review we could probably find the rest just by the virtue of having Rob's account. Then having those locations we could probably lead it somewhere further but am tired
btw ive checked and embarks office doesnt have any reviews from rob
https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1394850241295024159 there's this thread with all of the suspected reviews from rob so far
just what i was looking for thank u
continuing from this discussion
it seems the company's name is HITAWO as seen in The Evolution of ARC Raiders Ep. 2 (https://youtu.be/ST_fD5NL_pg?si=LbFKpTBEHHOFcEpV&t=1521)
So when do we get to put this on the Hunter Community Wiki?
The bit is almost a year old now š¤£
The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) or coney is a species of rabbit native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal and Andorra) and southwestern France. It is the only living species in Oryctolagus, a genus of lagomorphs. The average adult European rabbit is smaller than the European hare, though size and weight vary with habitat and d...
Etymology of European rabbit sounds like "Rob"
Also
Warren" comes from the Old English wareine, itself derived from the Old French warenne, varenne, or garenne. The root word is the Low Latin warenna
The generic name, Oryctolagus, derives from Ancient Greek: į½ĻĻ ĪŗĻĻĻ (oryktos, "burrowing") and λαγĻĻ (lagÅs, "hare") according to Swedish zoologist Wilhelm Lilljeborg
CNS whales were swedish maybe :p

new level 3 hint just dropped
i was talking to rob yesterday at the mingle and asked him about a level 3 hint, this isnāt word for word but itās essentially what he said
āI donāt leak, Level 3 is actually really easy, itās right in front of you every time you start the gameā
Iāll try find a clip, I was with Ekazo who was IRL streaming
ekazoko went live on Twitch. Catch up on their IRL VOD now.
Every time you start the gameā¦
it's been the compiling shader pipelines all along 
Only thing I can think of is the logo screen with the red gif but weāve seen that beforeā¦?
It actually changes every season (in s7 it was ascii/glitched)
yeah so shouldn't be that either
Maybe the āflashā when lobby appears?
maybe we should try recording it
Omw to try it
Also we never found āmenuā EEs
couldnt record, but tried to make superwidescreen:
In the extras section in the settings if you click on each option they turn white and remain highlighted
Not sure if itās anything but sure seems intentional
the smallest size of a window i can get "715*506"
my loading sequence
I think how he moves his hands when talking about it in the clip is interesting too. he makes two separate hand movements that refer to whatever it is in a slim horizontal rectangle, like words, a button, a banner, something of that nature
Do you have the clip
Jk found it
max width of a window is 2933* (using 1440p monitor)
I've never played on console, I wonder if loading sequence is different to maybe help narrow down what part of starting the game it could be in
I think itās the same, iirc, Rob mentioned that no eeās hidden in platform differences
So if we have some main menu EEs, itās not a some sort of text typing
But it can be some sort of Konami code
that's good to know bc I was wondering if the chatbox could be used as a command prompt too
It wouldnāt be something on a specific platform
Something thatās the same for everyone
It maybe can be used, but for some new stuff, bc chat wasnāt from release on consoles
Yeah, but now consoles have chat too
Except vaiiya blocking the messages - idk what to do with chat š
the console question was moreso if a certain splash screen doesn't show for console (like when you first launch it from steam and that loading box pops up) then it likely wouldn't be in that since that's not consistent for everybody
sus body language, I'm saying
For me it looks like Doctor Strange opening a portal
can't wait to launch and close the game a hundred times when I get home
its like those videos with the red circles pointing out whats happening
3 X E
@unborn pilot any thoughts on this?
Hehe itās nice to see people discussing level 3 again š
what about that small box that shows up when you launch the game on pc?
it has seasonal art and some.. things on it?
can't pull up a screenshot rn
Could it have do with the order of the flags up top?
Though that hasnāt always been here either right
Iām on Xbox, what can I do to help? 
i think it has some squares that do some sort of loading sequence but i might be tripping
Yes, same with arc raiders splash screen
this splash loading?
We donāt have that on Xbox
yeah that
This is only for PC.. doubt itād have it
that's what I wanted to be sure of, that eliminates an entire screen of possibility then
So only logo gif while loading
ok would make sence 
iirc the EE level 2 background is somewhat similar to the Major-themed background that appears during launch this season
What was always bugging me out:
build version on the bottom right corner.
Itās not needed on āproductionā, because we donāt run different versions of the game. In the phase of development- yes, itās crucial to check fixes or test new features, and you can tell what ābuildā is better.
So why we always has that ābigā version build name?
What does yours say?
I looked at that too, the build number, as is at least, isn't the password
By 'the password' do you mean the one needed to access https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level3 ?
Mine on Xbox
No Rob knew we were talking about level 3 not the activation
yes, worth trying since he's saying it's so easy
This is versioning
sliescetaceaasconce
y'know, I knew this...but it's been a long day 
Yes, it whatās the sense to show it in prod version?
Yeah that stuffās been around forever
Changes with updates and such
do you mean the one that appears in-game?
I imagine it's there so Embark can identify the exact game version from clips of bugs and exploits etc
I donāt see the harm in checking
When in game - it has different code, I think with āserver/sessionā idās
there was talk some time ago of another version number that only appeared during the splash screen, but I can't remember what that was
CL999555-6C3B8EFC-BK4232
Middle part looks like hex:
6C 3B 8E FC
CL can be for āCLientā, and BK - for BacKend
anyone want to hop in a match?
I think a golden nama might be on bernal
not sure where exactly, but I think the leek map might be pointing there...?
I thought we were almost positive itās Kyoto and Vegas left?
it could be but I was wondering if maybe it has to be real life locations
i.e. we know specifically IRL where in the cathedral area tha golden nama is in monaco
so bernal could be a safe bet?
Kyoto and Vegas are real places irl too, but anything is possible yea
yeah but kyoto afaik isn't based on a real life location in kyoto
it's a reimagination of an old kyoto
Iām going based on this
true there is that too
The one on Monaco looks like the middle one
mm could be...
So Iām assuming the other two would look like those, and probably fit their locations
While not as big, Iād love to see the volcano on Bernal get solved
I wonder if we got this wrong btw⦠it almost sounds like Rob says āevery time you start A gameā
I.e. a new match?
Who wants to dissect loading screen clips frame by frame?

My guess is itās either immediately upon load of THE game or when loading A match
Just like the intro screen, the match loading screen has changed over time too. Some parts anyway.
How can Rob say itās easy š
Well, we need to determine whatās never changed. Althoughā¦I guess if itās hidden text or something it couldāve just been incorporated into whichever new loading screen it couldāve been put it.. 
I hear āstart the gameā for what itās worth. But I guess even then, a match could count as starting the game.
Unrelated to recent topics. I suspected it for a while but I'm now fairly certain The Aggressor bundle was an early clue at the Monaco Golden Nama Tama.
- Xs everywhere - X marks the spot
- "Lost" - Lost Nama, Lost Legacy
- Statue with eyeline marked - Monaco Statue looking at Nama
- Descartes mask in the bundle - Nama is wearing this mask
- ā - can be an egg & yolk (as well as Sun, orbits, and more)
It makes me wonder if the other cosmetics that follow this distinctive style (like the Easter rewards) point at the other Golden Namas.
This is a great idea! We should look at outfits related to what the other 2 statues are wearing 
actually, I was thinking about this and with the potential of up to 9 passwords and then potentially being connected to locations based on the world map, I wonder if it could be hidden in each individual maps loading screen if that makes sense
I think IF thereās something on Bernal it has to do with the 4 bells on the tower of the church
Periodically theyāll ring x amount of times
I destroyed all four and havenāt heard them ring since
So, I guess this is a bit off topic but I took āstartā literally and went to the credits and sat here and read the entire scrolling message (Iām watching it a second time just in case) but man, we donāt deserve Embark š theyāre really amazing 
Yeah that whole credits this time around is in the style of old demo scene stuff
Old school stuff from Rob
But the message is so sweet! 
Bernal Bells -> doesnt seem to be a pattern, however I did notice that if youāre standing in between all four bells and move around during their ringing theyāll stop ringing
Can confirm bells stop ringing when destroyed
Dumb theory but for fun
-> weāve searched high and low on Vegas for golden nama, think jt might be in eastwood because of the old map
-> map leads you to vaults, all with 2 key olaceholders
-> 2 people needed
-> get a coin? A token? Something to activate slot machine (iirc Rob hinted that the machines can be activated?)
-> win jackpot, win golden nama?
@white patrol
The golden nama just doesnāt appear to quite be visible in Vegas⦠not without triggering somethingā¦?
I think we are still lacking in terms of figure out clues/information to make out a solid guess, so I am looking things up :3
where can I find the eastwood blueprint?
My current guess is that the golden nama just isnāt available outright in Vegas
Rrrr I forget what it was called⦠let me see if I can find it
Vegas and the whole S1 is very Rob heavy imo, probably the only time Nama tama give out clues in trailer
Vegas/S1 gonna need some heavy investigation
I tagged you in the markup #1202362203920150610
@white patrol Iām out of ideas for now š
Yes I saw, thanks dev!
With "Markup plan" and "steal the spotlight" OST with police sirens go off, I am thinking about "heist"
https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a37016468/heather-tallchief-roberto-solis-heist-netflix-now/
In the sense of a heist, spotlight might also mean the spotlight from a helicopter?
After some search, found out in 1993 there's a couple, a girl from New York named heather and a guy named Roberto Solis stole 3 million dollars from a armored truck
Some people see them as Robin Hood who beats the system
It's called Circus Circus hotel heist (relation to east wood hotel?)
On October 1, 1993, less than two months after sheād started the Loomis job, Heather Tallchief drove away in her armored work vehicle with three million dollars inside while her co-workers were inside the Vegas hotel Circus Circus loading up the ATMs. She drove to a storage unit where her boyfriend Roberto Solis was waiting, they transferred the money into their getaway car, shipped it to Miami in boxes, and drove to the airport where they hopped on a chartered airplane in disguise. After zigzagging across the country to throw off the police, they wound up in Miami for some time before eventually flying to St. Maarten, all while evading FBI capture.
It seems they just drove away the armored vehicle with 3 million dollars in it, which makes me think of this scene from Alpha trailer, A cashout station inside a moving vehicle or something (Image 1)
Not sure what to make of it, but it seems can be somewhat relatable :3
Circus Circus Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the northern Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Phil Ruffin. Circus Circus includes the largest permanent circus in the world. It features circus and trapeze acts, as well as carnival games, at its Carnival Midway. The resort also includes the Adventuredome,...
this is the hotel
The Cashout station in the alpha trailer is actually being carried by the player, it used to be a feature in those early days.
oh sick I didn't know that :3 thankies raid
I guess you can say it's literally steal the spotlight with love
Any new breakthroughs in the last week?
no way another Dusty
Ok but you have to get the real Dusty to let Rob leak some stuff for us
EU / PC, I have the same string
I canāt promise that but I can try
Dusty did nothing
All yall really want is dusty
Reduxung herself to some meager force
If you look at the Eastwood blueprint and follow it the way itās intended, it has you crashing through the window to those deposit box rooms. Thereās an overhead sign saying cage (where all the money is kept iirc) which to me sounds more like a heist.
So maybe we start at the X and find clues to where the statue was left after a ābotched robbery attemptā?
Keep in mind Vegas also used to have a built in security system in the early days
https://www.twitch.tv/thefinals/clip/PhilanthropicInventiveDogeWutFace-jo5HEOklFTwtVpFT
CNS MAJOR STREAM
we see that on nozomi too
surely all the cns stuff leads to something
Ill be honest, its just been reused cns images so nothing so far
These gloves from Easter follow the same style. A tally of 7 on the wrist strap. 3 Xs on each glove. "LOVE" and "HATE".
I would say the circles on the knuckles kinda look like location markers but those are on multiple gloves, so probably not.
YOOO
New map -we saw it leaked in s6 or s7!
that map is gonna be crazy packed with stuff
I said some ramble about the e-egg not having a full "texture" the other day
I meant that Rob mentioned the final goal wasn't certain even to them
Was more a chase about a metaphysical hueristic
That theme might explain why it's tough to nail down the practical directions. Though we should definitely have level 3 by now lol
I think O is for Odilia
Shit youre right
On the major stream
Scotty: āthis reminds me of 2081. Remember when Odilia and Ursa clashed?ā
scotty and june voicelines at the major credits
does this hint to there being a possibility of them adding Esports players as voices and faces?
I asked Rob for a hint, He said he wrote it and that itāll be online soon. But people have found it apparently
Makes me think its on a banner from the audience
Iām looking around the venue now to see if I can find it (if its here)
people have found what
A hint rob wrote
I have no clue in what form it is/was
No I think thats just the skin you get for attending
I went to see but there were only the xp, fcar and tomorrow the m60 codes
hmm
did he imply as to whether or not people who find it will know it's an EE hint?
No 
hello again, does anyone have the CNS whiteboard that spells out their name
Talked to Rob last night. He's a little disappointed in our ability to not surpass lvl 3 š
This alleyway we've seen it before right? wasn't it in early footage? trying to find it currently
I'm also disappointed he's not alone :D
Bro we are utterly lost š„¹
Might be thinking of the Monaco alleyway on the early trailers
It hurts so bad. I feel like if we could just figure out what MW or mma or especially just one dang password then we could figure out what's even going on
Right now it just feels like he took some history books and just ripped out random pages
We need more hints
just noticed that the song "and the winner is" has a part around 2:20 where the audio spins, like it goes from left to right ear, maybe symbolizing the rotating platform idk
I have gotten some info from rob about hidden item codes in a place that everyone sees but no body has found yet but im not sure if i wanna share or just keep grinding out the way to find it and get it first and share it
That everyone sees? I instantly thought about the main menu
yeah thats what i thought i asked him and he seems he raised his eyebrow and smiled so i belive thats correct to some degree im seeing dots on the golden finals logo that kinda shift in and out while the gold moves might be related to those
maybe overlaying every frame with the dots might spell something out
š¤
u think this is anything u can try to do
heres the video
of my first load after getting this info
If youre asking me to open the game i actually cant bc Iām visiting family for the holidays š«”
no but you see how on the gold its like patternd what happens if we overlay all the paterns maybe it spells something out
Iām dumb as a box of rocks
relatable YO anyone with some video editing knowladge able to do this
@vapid hull ur alright att editing u think u can try overlaying all the frames and the patern in the metal of the logo
Wait might be hidden numbers in the loading screen this here kinda looks like an 8 and i saw smth else that looked like a 4 before
and this here kinda looks like a 5
'
and this looks like a 7 (the green and blue are what kinda looks like the bar that people sometimes put on 7's but might just be smth random)
?
above i sent a video with the loading screen the golden logo has texture im thinking the dots might map up to smth if u get em all overlayed
yeah but hey he said its smth in the loading screen sooo i mean im looking
I have no idea how could I help with this...
well can u rip take each frame out 1 by 1 so people can mark out each dot and line
like split up the videos frames into individual photos
I'm a video editor... not a video researcher.
I was rewatching the season 9 reveal panel, and the LABABADIBIDIBIDOBIDUM has caught my eye. Most likely a real nickname of an Embark employee, but who knows
their profile picture is a stylized hollow knight OC, I think?
It's the same animation used for the TFEE Level 2 webpage background (extracted video š)
https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2
I don't know if this animation has been on the loading screen for a long time or only S8
In S7 it was purple and glitchy, so not then
If I had to guess I'd say they reused the animation because it fits the aesthetic of the Major, and because it was created for the Level 2 webpage, Rob knows there's something level 3-related in it.
purple like you!!! omg!!!
smart (it also looks rad)
a bit higher quality
Some of the glass-looking cubes merge into each-other
and there are the two pointed out earlier that have a center
it looks like... maybe there could be letters
I remember us analyzing this a while ago though I thought
but that seems to be what maybe rob was talking about with launching the game?
what if it's just 3, 3 finals logos, 3 main things
Did we ever figure out the best place to find stars in Vegas by chance? Just randomly been looking at old stuff
If not, there is the Vegas walk of stars that starts a the Sahara resort.
And in regards to best spot to see stars would be a desert, which The Sahara is an actual desert and its name is used in Vegas
Food for thought
MW.AREA
Medium Wave Area
Europe, Asia, Africa 9 kHz
North and South America 10 kHz
19, again
actually this might make some sort of sense
MW.Area seems to match to Medium Wave Area
what it means here though... couldn't say
huh
maybe? but we haven't had any L3 clues that seem to point to radio/frequencies
more stuff towards geography, hex, etc
I was refreshing the lvl 3 page and find it weird it displays finals red then glitchy interference
Kinda?
Medium wave propagation makes a triangle
Only thing related with triangles is pyramids and 3
I was looking at the coordinates again, specifically NW
one of them... Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Portuguese explorer JoĆ£o Ćlvares Fagundes landed on the islands and named the island group they were part of the "Eleven Thousand Virgins", as the day marked the feast day of Saint Ursula and her virgin companions.[14]
Idk if this is on the miro board or noticed but have we thought that 1 = STS-88
Ursula*
in what way?
FIRST space shuttle mission to the ISS
I think actually someone did mention that a long time ago maybe
I want to be sure
it is right in front of us
Black Knight Namatama was the FIRST image to lvl3
Why would we have coordinates and then more coordinates and then even more coordinates
whatever these passwords are... Rob seems to think it's so easy that we haven't had any new clues in what... a year?
something probably staring us in the face again but we just can't connect the dots
Kinda funny, sts-88 was flown by Endeavour which had a servial number of OV-105
ovios
obvious
Also
Ovios is a genus of moth
āThe Noctuidae, commonly known as noctuid moths or owlet moths, and their caterpillars as cutworms or armyworms, are a family of moths. ā
Noctua meaning little owl
ovo
who was I talking to earlier about Robs clue on twitch saying that there's something right in front of us as soon as we start the game
is this it... did flex just point this out like way ahead of time?
And that word only showed up on the anti cheat splash screen
hm... doesn't seem to be a password
somehow this is the first time I'm seeing this
yeah... I don't think we ever found anything with it
I noticed no one replied to Rob questioning the big ee hunt link
I tried it in all the password spots, no dice, both motu and mutu
I'm looking over the spreadsheet
there's a ton of eyed stuff that we never did ANYTHING with
another vegas clue that got eyed that we never looked that hard at
thats what im now just realizing
So that confirms Rob has hidden at least one clue in a splash screen before. I recall yesterday the splash screen was mostly dismissed as a possibility because it's PC only.
current launch screen
is that the G=6 binary?
also noticed someone mentioned morse code on the patch note page and that didnt get any reaction. was it already solved at that time?
could be but it's way too small to fully tell
where's that
it could be W but... no where further to go with it at that time I guess
I have it open in GIMP but way too pixelated
could someone get the main S8 keyart up? I'm on my phone. I just want to see if the binary has changed or not
it did
I can't view them, don't have photoshop š
photopea.com goated
going through all the patch notes and it seems like the "morse" is accidental
G=6 was relevant for passwords back then, but also Rob said this much later #ā”āthe-finals-chat message
hurts
gg
everything hurts 
besides the leek charms
I'm pretty sure the leek charm is pointing to a golden nama but I can't make heads or tails of that map
One of the only aspects of the loading screen that's been consistently present throughout all seasons is the loading animation for the icon for THE FINALS. There's always been something about it that interests me.
i always thought it was one animation not two
as in one line instead of two?
yeah, as if it was a light reflecting
I know a while back we got eyes for the launch date of lost in space
we didn't do much investigation past that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri -> where they were supposed to launch to
Alpha Centauri (α Centauri, α Cen, or Alpha Cen) is a star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus (α Centauri A), Toliman (α Centauri B), and Proxima Centauri (α Centauri C). Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at 4.2465 light-years (ly), which is 1.3020 parsecs (pc), while...
a planet here, and this isn't the first time a triple star system has come up... rob mentioned theta serpentis a long long time ago
One thought I've had about this animation is that it could be showing a separation of lines/shapes that could be used to form an X (besides VV for something like W).
the other thought I had is that they remind me of two mountain peaks
if you separate them a bit, you can see that idea more
which reminds me a bit of the AKM Vault Hunter Set
I also find it mildly interesting that the platform of interest from Las Vegas (#1292576119849095210 message) also has a holographic version of the icon above it.
can someone else look at this
feels like I'm... close to something but my brain is frying
we had clues for 1-24, and previously 1-18 in old puzzles
it's all just... hex?
Which image is that from again?
I don't have the exact timestamps, but the "Shocktopuze" player card background that was part of the Blast Off Sour Core Twitch drops set was actually seen all the way back in the closed beta trailer.
Just a few frames about 10 seconds in
It's a little different but nearly identical in composition
Thanks man
Il take a look after I come back from DreamHack imma try to get more info from rob
Ursula makes me think of ursa the contestant maybe connect
Maybe the dots in the gold finals logo that we all see when booting the game
Maybe the 82 on the Odin skin is spesificly chosen and means smth
Was the text on the vest ever looked att
for a few frames there are some white pixels left behind by the effect?
and some other distortion by the bottom left pixel?

not sure if these can be called by a terminal but they are basically operations located in ROM
Should go in game and try to type them in š„¹
Chat⦠idk Iām dying Iām pretty sure this hunt is gonna give me schizophrenia lmao
Maybe there too?
Your inputs are ignored there
Iseult wallpaper for level 3
btw here's the S8 lobby background, in case Rob was referring to it
Wait what are these
They donāt look like shadows of anything
And if they were Iād expect them to be identical on both sides
Look like symbols?
@gloomy anvil
I'm not sure really
it's the AMIGA logo
Has anyone looked at the sound from the end of the grand major? Was there anything in it?
Finals running on AmigaDOS ?
We knew
Paula Denise Agnus
but ever Alice chip mentioned?
Amiga Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA) is the third-generation Amiga graphic chipset, first used in the Amiga 4000 in 1992. Before release AGA was codenamed Pandora by Commodore International.
Agnus replaced with Alice
Denise replaced with Lisa
so is that the order they released? the image you have above
Agnus chip has two other parts -> Blitter and Copper.. ABC š„¹
we got AGNUS DENISE PAULA from the sticker BYTE BUSTER it looks like. is that what you meant when you said we knew them?
I meant this was sent before
#easter-eggs message
and yes that too
I'm re-checking the miroboard by putting AMIGA on center
Aye more Latin
yea specifically spanish for female friend
Only thing I can think of from Robs twitch clue is it may actually have something to do with the hex in the version tag?
as in a friend who happens to be female. not like romantic girlfriend haha
6C 3B 8E FC
18 15 84 25 56
Thatās what I assumed lol. Thatās how I use female friend
The middle of the version string changes all the time
Ah ok
AGA has a pixel type called Chunky.. reminding me chunky wr
more names: Andrea, Mary, Linda, Monica
The āsingleā* AAA subsystem consists of one each of the four AAA chips. This example
system uses video RAM, which is certainly the preferred implementation. Andrea controls this
VRAM and the chip bus. The 32-bit parallel port of the VRAM connects to Andrea and the A/D
bus (register address and all data go across this bus). The serial ports of the VRAM connect to
Linda, which handles all the video fetching, under Andreaās direction. Mary connectsto the A/D
bus and to various I/O ports, such as audio, floppy, and serial. Finally, Monica connects to the
other side of Linda, the A/D bus, and to the video output (digital or analog)
Mary is updated version of Paula
Maybe we should
Maybe smth with the nozomi citadel ee
Ah but this level started well before nozomi/citadel
No asked it was specifically the loading screen so we need to deep dive it hard
Wait where did he specify the loading screen?
AFAIK he just said every time you start the game
Could mean splash, loading, or even lobby
I thought he had just said it's somewhere everyone looks but hasn't seen
Yeah the reason he told me bout the loading screen was cus I asked if he ever hid any item codes in it since it looks similar (like the email codes not a secret code for the ee didint ask bout that)
so it's a level 3 clue specifically
That might be why itās taking so long he never said that all the steps for the ee are in the game yet
Like take vault hunters ak as an example
No a private convo me and him 1 on 1 att the major yesterday
What did he say specificallyā¦
Yes
Maybe he means splash and lobby but he did specify the loading screen as in he used the word loading screen
Yeah I mean like⦠what question did you ask that pinged him on the loading screen, something about level 3?
This is what happend
Thatās what prompted him to tell me bout it
What did he say specifically about the load screen?
Sorry itās just with Rob we have to know specifics before we go off on a wild goose chase
He said that thereās some code in the screen idk if itās a skin code or ee code or smth like that as always heās very vague
That the code is staring att us as we load in
@unborn pilot a clue about something regarding level 3 every time we start the game, and a separate conversation where Rob implied a code was hidden in the loading screen
Amiga 500 promo video (1987)
VS
Finals Lore cinematic
man it's gotta be that logo Atsuhiro posted then. Rob even gestures to his right. that Finals logo is always bottom right as it's loading
Back in the dark days of DOS computers, all you had to work with your computer were white numbers on a black screen. To do any simple function, you had to write a long line of complicated code. No GUI's! For the novice, it was horrible.
Then, one day I saw a video for an Amiga 500 computer and I was hooked! Out went my crappy DOS-system and I b...
Can anyone get a clear video of the loading screen?
Maybe
Iām away from pc rn
Same Iām currently onm home after dinner with thiixy and the podium
the loading logo has always been jittery for me, is it like this for everyone else?
yea mine has never loaded smoothly
could it be intentional?
no ring but its material seems similar
I'm confused, I thought pyoid asked for a level 3 hint and Rob said the thing about starting the game.
Where did he specify loading screens?
ballerina
This has nothing to do with pyoid this info I gave was from a 1 on 1 conversation I had with rob att the major if u scroll up u can see some more context n stuff I gave
Did anyone check the match start for any clues? Like u know when u start a match and u and ur team start running then the screen flashes white. What if something is hidden in plain sight but we never actually paid any attention to it because it became so repetitive that u just don't bother focusing on the pre game animations.
Maybe and how bout the new transition
there are a couple of white pixels in this
prolly nothing but still
just artifacts im guessing
a dolphin facing towards the sun
I personally don't see the white pixels, but it's a recreation of the loading screen from in-game
i see some cooking is happening 
imagined!
it's been mentioned one other time by Tom, and may have been overlooked.
the Premiere of the movie "Good Will Hunting" was December 2, 1997.
might be nothing, but it seemed sus
STS-88 (Endeavour)
Unity (Node 1) : link between the orbiting laboratory's Russian Orbital Segment and US Orbital Segment.
STS-120 (Discovery)
Harmony (Node 2): connects the laboratory modules of the United States, Europe and Japan.
STS-130 (Endeavour)
Tranquility (Node 3): contains environmental control systems, life support systems, a toilet, exercise equipment, and an observation cupola.
Both Space Shuttles used for these missions were named after ships used by James Cook who attempted to discover the NW passage. We've discussed some of this before, but wanted to provide a little more info I found in case any of it means anything to us. Just more connecting of NA, EU, and AS
From the Xbox version (itās worth noting Xbox doesnāt count the splash screen as game content and doesnāt clip it)
also a duck maybe connected to monaco ducks? is there dolphins in the bay?? prolly far fetched but lets be honest what here isint far fetched
The dolphins are from SYS$HORIZON sunset condition EE
I'll take the first frame (as soon as the golden logo appears) and check in photoshop
ik that but what if they went away
If thereās anything I can do to help, let me know 
someone sent the backround as all the frames
but i mean for them to get it with the logo
the level 2 backround
What do u mean?
@gloomy anvil can u do the same but with the loading screen with the gold logo since i want to see if the dots on the gold texture spell anything out and @fringe heath @odd sequoia
I don't, the video I sent is from the level 2 page so just the animation itself.
yeah i needed the gold bit
That video is a bit pixelated :////
I'm thinking now, doesn't everyone's loading screen always freeze for a second? Would that be random or is it maybe on the same frame as the video sent by @odd sequoia ?
That would be interesting to look into!
Does this help?
I think it only does it on PC primarily
Nope, cuz that video is from xbox
this one also freezes
Yea itās done that as long as I can remember
In the black loading screen
When fiddling with the levels, you can see a white square in the top left of the image
i want to try to overlay all the dots withing the gold and see if it has smth to do with it
It can be morse code frame by frame
which dots are you talking about? these like smudges in the texture on the logo & text?
I feel like some level of layering and flipping might reveal something?
i actually had like a transmission from space (my sleep paralysis)
did you guys consider that "every time you start a game" can mean an in game tutorial? š¤
I canāt hear anything other than āstart the gameā not āa gameā but maybe thatās just me?
Looking closely & there are flashing grey bars behind the logo of the initial black loading screen, whatās that about lol
i always thought the 3d graphic on the side of the big center The Finals logo is supposed to be mirrored/stitched together like how you'd undo a reflection by mirroring and inverting it
side note, the start up reminds me of the OG xbox main menu. the idea of a huge vast space was so eerie and sick at the same time
Anyone have the codes for the leeks weapon charms? I dont know the code but do know the ee
check pins 
Just had a new idea for 123...
Probably just hope and nothing else but worth a shot š
Baikonur Site 1 was the Site Yuri Gagarin, the worlds fiurst human spaceflight took place.
Its processing facilities were called Site 2 and its oxygen/nitrogen plant was Site 3.
Yeah
Like I said this is not the clip that the info is based on itās a 1 on 1 conversation I had with rob att the major
Nice
thats what im thinking or one big thing of morse code cus there is textureing on the gold as the reflection moves around we gotta mark each one and see what it makes
^
message right above here
yo anyone who has accses to the miro board can someone add the information i obtained from rob about the loading screen we gotta focus this cus its the most direct hint we have got in a long time
a pretty strong inplied since when i asked if he meant in the loadin screen if it was hidden he smiled and chuckled we are getting close we have to be but what are we missing
does anyone understand this or care to check the metadata and format it in the same way we did for the isult wallpapper
was this the only source for the picture or is there another one
@dull marsh
I'm on phone rn, I'll look to add that later or if someone else does it before me š
alright thanks but im really curios bout the season 2 artwork if do u know if theres a better source image
Nice
which iseult wallpaper? havent we got multiple in the span of the last years?
The one that got deep dived on the Miro bord on level 3
Im not sure rn which Infos we add to the miro.
Atleast I know we add clues we got from connections etc.
Unsure about Statements from rob which were told in persona
That was me who had them told I can clarify later or answer questions about this but yeah rob definitely did a nice lil leak I think he was fine with saying that since he said smth like that on some stream but he was more specific with me about it so now we got a big hint that is very clearly aimed att the loading screen and maybe splash but not everyone gets the splash and he said everyone (and also specified loading)
PSD file should be in Press drive
what do you want to add to miroboard exactly
The leak that rob gave me about the loading screen I wrote more info about it above if u just put my name in the search thing I started talking about it on Friday
This?
Do you perhaps have it perhaps word by word what he said?
As robs Word and sentence structure is sometimes/often important
Also:
When we find new images like the one you posted rn, we mostly do a quick search/scour if we find anything on these images.
I do have a quote āno there is no direct item code on the version code but there is a code hidden staring everyone in the face when they launch the game somewhere in the loading screenā
Ok itās been a long time since I did ee stuff took a break cus life got a lil busy wish I found more back in cb2
That was start of it but very poorly phrased and kinda a mix of me asking about version number and what he said I just first wanted to know if it might be useful
Whereās that sorry Its been a while since I dabbled in ee
Nvm I found the press kit
Guys BTW did anyone find the physical Easter eggs?
I had a very silly idea but what if you get the files for the finals to run and hook it up to the amiga 500 what would happen imagine if that unlocked smth most likely no but who knows how far rob will go
Rob said there are irl stuff at Dreamhack
I didint find anything aside from info with him I was not aware of this
