Maybe the coast in the far SW?
I was in that area as galli yesterday, but definitely didn't check everything
I traveled the whole coast from delta to that one pond that you have to use to get to south plains as deino
Yeah same
I mean further west than that, the far far SW
It could maybe be there but that whole area seems too unfinished tbh
the wild wild South West
https://gyazo.com/426bae4817ba3be48bbc2935e9988fcc
gosh, i hope to see it expanded properly with human stuff
Docks could be cool
yes that area
i'm so confused, where should i even look at this point? lol
lore hunting screenshot
if he said that it was soo utterly obvious, i'd imagine that it's by a pretty populated area?
or somewhere we go regularly
You will absolutely know it when you see it. I'm sure when it's in it will not be long before it's found at all. Same day. Maybe within minutes, I'd say. It's that kind of obvious.
Obvious thread will be obvious
honestly
I believe he means in terms of "it's obvious when you see it"
Was this always here?
aye
yes
double checked the volcano cave, it's still closed off.
all of NE plains and the jungle by c14, also found nothing./
kinda hoping it was something in that new blocked cave in volc 
thinking of trying the coastal region near the swamp and the jungle south of south plains (near south pond)
i checked the volcano nothing inside
aye
just the same stuff
was hoping maybe like Gen1 art? maybe
but i guess that's not really an object
can we make a list or something so we can see what's searched and what's not? lol
might be unnecessary actually
it seems every human base and checkpoint has been searched several times.
yeahh I know that all bases have been looked through, but I don't really know what general areas have been combed
has anyone looked by jungle pond?
which one
...idk it's just called jungle pond on my map
it's right by delta river, a little to the west
close to I12
Is that one right next to a sanctuary?
I know there’s a pond next to a sanctuary there somewhere.
it's in an mz apparently
no, it's the one south of I12
yeah exactly
oh that one
little pond in the middle there.
Did anyone find it yet?
the object?
Yes
no
sounds like people have been searching just like we were, but to no avail
has anyone been up and down the actual delta river
This sounds silly but...
I had a dream about it 💀
You’re dreaming rn
Oh no
no idea but i'm going there rn
Wake up
Actually it’s a nightmare
mmmm
tbh I think I dreamt about it too 
I found it at east plains iirc lmao
interesting
What was it
Chair?
coincidentally the least searched place i think
what's the situation with searching east plains though
In the crate, north of the dome.
have been looked at East Dome yet?
I did
checked that already
i did also
But... did anyone check inside the crate?
yes
tartarus
this is what I think we have so far
all bases covered
just forest and plains areas
We checked the injection site, well
Tiny did
how thick are your lines though
^
yes, nothing there
assuming that was just southern beach
I also flew along that coast south of east plains
i looked inside the buildings and crates by east dome, nothing there i think
yeah
nothing from what i could see in replay
It's a place of where a person would go..
"OH! ITS PROBABLY THERE"
ITS RIGHT THERE
Gateway
I honestly think the entire map has been searched
mmm
either its hidden in a forest or we missed something
OR
im going down delta rn, but it's night so i can't really see much
Or Don thinks it's in the HT(the version available to us)
When it's in fact not.. never made it to us..
nah
he said he checked in our version
Oh
i have a theory on this.
It was made very clear
yeah I checked these last night
Mm
Theory might not work, since Don saw it.
remember how in the last patch pushed to public evrima, the inside of the current perimeter entrance had various objects such as furniture and the like put in?
ok, hear me out.
remember how for quite a while there that entrance was open?
ok, right.
lore thing was placed inside the perimeter entrance
perimeter entrance is blocked off
dondi can fly to it and see it in specator mode, thinking we can still get it it.
we can't get to it
I doubt Don didn't see the closed entrance when checking on it.
At this point I think we'll have to find it by accident, or hope Don will break his own rule and give us another clue
i'm starting to think there's a wild goose involved here.
Or a duck
Look how unfunny you are CERATO!!
thats why my search galli has a canadian goose skin
(i'm sorry)
Oh..
show!!
i have to show the skin cause that server is full
thanks

search galli
Nice
very nice
i was growing another search galli but half the server i was on is mixpacking together to kill a stego and i dont trust em
so gonna grow a hypsi
Did anyone check the cave?
at volc? yes
The riverdelta cave
unsure then
yeah, nothing there.
Oof..
I think i did
well actually i wouldn't say nothing.
either i'm forgetting things or there's a new hole in the back of the cave that lets sunlight in, i don't remember that being there before, but i could be wrong.
nothing above the cave though.
the skylight was there before
and definitley nothing lore related in there.
I wish Don atleast gave us a hint on what this object relates to..
Replicator? Statue? Idk what else...
But he said he won't give us hints sadly
on land
Yay
has anybody actually checked the other island yet?
i have a salt water beipi on one of the servers i could check it with.
tiny did a bunch of them
Ye
including england?
believe so, aye
damn.
England
BRITANNIA
England wouldn't make sense

not just angles land
but also land of the scots
alongside the corn people
and welsh
I think I’m going to find these supposed “obvious items” tomorrow
It's a megalania corpse
bet I will walk down the east plains road and find some super secret lore items
i assume that this has been checked?
like a rock with the painting of fnafbear
Yes
okay ty
could also be the caves at north plains volcano have been opened
i think that was checked, they weren't open
Does a painting = an object
the ponds next to it?
think it has a wall dam
might help
a painting on something makes that something an object
i wouldn't think so
basically all past tribal/gen1 art has been on rocks
but one was on a human building in Don's 2020 xmas stream
rock painting niche
so what you're trying to say is that i should check all the human bases again and make sure to look at every single wall.
Yes.

what if all Gen1 'types' (?) are named after rock band eras
what if you went to sleep right now
my body has reason to stay up
but I want to sleep
also I think we should overanalyse this gif
Don't sleep till we find the object.
Don is literally a fireball
specifically, an eye of sauron
where he can see
we do not
A tree
A tree
If that gif has a meaning
He is looking at a tree
Wait no
I'm just tired.. i thought that was a tree
lol
actually TrappedCrow did it more recently
I just looked at them from afar on the southern coast
apparently not, it was correct when I clicked it
discord mobile shakes fist
went there last night nothing
yeah checked it as I passed by as well, didn't find anything either
anyone check the planes with the pond between river delta, east and northeast?
this one?
yeah
someone on lorecord said they checked
how recent?
just did a check around the giant rocks/cliffs by south plains (south of the salt lake), nothing interesting
also checked the coastline there.
im really beginning to think that don mistook this build for a different one or the object is bugged somehow
me too
nah, he said he physically checked
I doubt he would hop on the wrong one after we asked if he thought he was thinking of the wrong branch
floating rock, lore?
hmm ok
yeah i know 
felt like it
but Don basically 100 per cented it existing
just checked that one mudpit area near the swamp tunnel and delta, clear
Yoda is nearby
hope hes freindly to hypsis
He’s about their height so maybe
central bridge area clear
someone tell me where to check Ive fully run out of ideas
I have no idea, Im going back and trying to think..
Where would an average QA person look for a lore object.
In our hearts
Checking the marsh
wasn't that specifically where he hinted it not to be?
but honestly... let's just check everything lol
We need another hint..
What if we need to stop looking for it to be revealed
i was there a few hours ago, didn't really see anything
...but now im doubting myself. maybe i should go look again
Literally the entire process of this hunt
"Yeah we checked there- but did we....? We should look again!"
Constant process of insanity 
yeah that's why we've checked every single base like 8 times
anyone check the one enterable fence by east plains already?
yes
did we try entering all the GUTS tunnels? I tried that one in the foothills near west access
maybe
i tried entering the one in the volcano by the northern jungle mig zone already
well uh
how?
oh no lol
What situation have you gotten yourself in
Its a cave
A future cave I assume, has 2 blocked off enterances.
I glitched into one of the enterances lol
volcano cave
I am out
No, East plains cave.
woah
I keep hearing beipi sounds even tho im the only person in the server.
I FOUND IT
-54,583.838, 553,162.344, 28,521.362
@vast vector
Wait no
This is 100% new,
But, there is nothing... special..
There is nothing around ?
not new.
What....
let me double check, but that there is not new.
i'll put the coords into the map but if it's what i think it is i can tell you the exact location
east plains coast.
yep
yeah no that's been there for a while.
Wtf..
me and salty grew under it a few weeks ago.
Damn, no map ever marked it. Never knew about it.
the torment continues
Welp, the torture continues.
you scared me sooo bad, i was afk and when i came back you'd found it lmao
"It'll be obvious" they said 
yeah...
Bro I spit out my water thinking its new.
I was just chilling and then I turn around and see a giant ass radio tower behind me
i was so happy for a split second until i realized hahah
im kinda starting to doubt the "obvious" part of all of this
Overestimated us.. by a lot.
Yes, that map is.. the entire map. We checked everything.
That can't be true tho 
we haven't since we haven't found the object yet, but we don't really know where to look next
He wouldn't put it in water right
is it possible that this thing is in the middle of a dense jungle somewhere?
Have we looked in the rivers and lakes?
no, it was on land
Im kicking the tower rn with my galli in pure anger and sadness.....
according to don
Gah
He said it’s specifically something you’d “walk by” so not underwater

....when?? have i missed that lol
Wait no
no
This might be a dyslexic moment hold on
Here’s the message @robust ether
he said "yeah they're still there" as if it was multiple of said object or something. how haven't we found it yet
Ah crap I hope I didn’t ping him
did you turn off @ ? lol
Shadow gets black bagged mysteriously
I forget I think I did tho
Multiple objects..
Yeah you didnt ping him, you are fine.
even if you didn't, it was accidental so 
i don't know if there are multiple, but he said "they"
Back to the shadows 
True, I just have in the past and try not to anymore lol
Has to be multiple then, if he says they.
how.
he's said both it and they...
Which message says they
let me find it
yes ty
Ffs
how is this even possible.

I have slight suspicion that its at south plains
it feels like this is getting more complicated by the second
...i've had that too. but i didn't dare say anything
Like, right in the feild.. or under the waterfall.. a cave..
Going to check
Stupid question, but that saltwater spot that south plains has is the same?
The one the waterfall drops in
it feels unlikely that it would be in south plains, but what is likely atp
no idea, haven't really looked
yes
We’re honestly checking every crack possible at this point lol
Where tf are these leaves coming from
Olympus
We are in the middle of the damn ocean 
i can't drop this whatsoever lol, i'm combing through that part
actually did you already do that cera??

There are 4 players in the server including me... 2 of them being dilos at south plains 
what server u on?
me too
Oh nicee, are you a dilo?
no galli
Ah alr
Why is NA2 always so low
imma fill my diet and go to the radio tower
So 2 dilos, 1 galli, and 1 ptera on the server.
I think its because of the no AI
Jesus they were still like 100 people in them the other day
At South plains rn, checking.
i don't dare check at south plains since i'm on a populated server lmao
i give up now
It never existed to begin with . You are looking for a ghost

😂🫵
Anyways, idk where the hell I should look now.
wild goose moment
me neither, hence why i gave up
Literally Don has to give us another hint or we will never find it 
under the map
its reachable
Imagine it is at the cave at east plains 😂
Oh has anyone checked the caves in highlands?
Nope, checked there.
^
inside ?
yep
He is Overestimating our brains lmao
I'm not.
hmm
I'm just not correcting failure.
DONDI PLEASE 
How long have you guys been searching now lol
Almost 2 days probably
I am going to go check the highland caves
...nevermind. i'm joining again
Definition of insanity ^
are we just looking in the completely wrong places? i don't get it 
you walked past it already
Look in places that a normal player wouldnt check- or.. should we look at places that a normal player would check-
I dont even know anymore.
Likely
yeah probably
At this point do we need to map the caves out 
You could. But you don't need to.
Probably not. It was a very, very small test.
Was a bit worried about that but I get it 
Going to check every cave rn, checked east plains. Now highlands.
i don't think caves are the answer
unfortunately
Kinda sounds like it's not in a cave...
This and all

I swear some random streamer might find it at this rate, we are over here struggling to find a simple object while some random streamer with 5 views will find it in under 2 minutes into the stream.
Wonder if the issue is that we're looking too hard lol
I would laugh so hard
Best part he wont even tell anyone because he doesnt think its important
what are we doing wrong 
Just ignore it completely 
110%.
Damn.
Well crap
But again, I'm just doing this for a small test for larger things in the future.
So I feel that unless you're in this particular channel, you don't even know there's something to be found.
Prob
Sounds like the lore kids are the ones that get to eat, then.
The food is running from us- well... running stationary.
If you're looking for lore, consider looking in places you know exist.
Thats what we did 
Okay time to hit every base again top to bottom
F5, H4, H6, D10, C14, Perm enterance, everything.
For... multiple objects?
you sure ?
What lore is in a human base? What have you seen presented?
You've seen stock lorem ipsum.
You haven't seen lore.
You're overthinking.
A chair on a table and a computer on the floor.
have we considered it possibly could be a strain plant?
australia confirmed
LOREm ipsum
...this is quite literally the only thing we've found
I'm not sure we've gotten that much enviormental storytelling from the bases themselves... beyond being destroyed and derelict.
So don't look there.
Gah okay
So not in human structures..Atleast in the resupply points (The bases)
Lore outside human bases.. and maybe structures in general (god I hope not)
imagine it is like 2 small fences 😂
Not looking in the bases deletes like 2% of the map that we dont need to look in.
Have we gotten actual lore from anywhere on gateway tho? Wish Isaac was on
hmm, ingame...
I feel like most of what we learn is second hand
Its very minor stuff really, the fences I guess give us an idea of some of the sectors/areas on gateway.
Wait it was supposed to be both ingame and out of game, right?
It was.
Hmm
The out of game aspect is..not here yet?
👀
May have something to do with the Diablo video
Or maybe a new #isle-phase-three post..?
Wait, have we looked at the area in the dibble vid
yes
I was just thinking that lmao
Wait, I dont think so actually, maybe there is something there. Someone said they checked but I dont know if they checked the exact location of the camera. I can go check rn
If this is obvious I'm scared for future hunts
We will learn
Yeah you're right.
Checking the dibble location video rn
So what it is is obvious, but it is possible to miss it
It seem that you may have put to light the "obvious" part of the hint
I think he meant that
Its going to be obvious if its new or not
Thats the obvious part probably
Isaac thinks the same
yeah you probably right
Definitely
But also you're not at the exact location.
hmmm, oh, Im not.
You are not.
You're in the immediate area, but not exact location.
And I only know that because I've had to review the sequence before, so I know where the camera was. 
(This coming from the first diablo video review, of which I challenged myself to find the location in a timely fashion.)
I see, Im struggling to position myself correctly since Im small and the bushes keep getting in the way 
If I can just guess where you are from that image.
I'm filling up in NE and coming to your spot scream when you hear a galli
Oh my god this fog is actually so annoying 
And so the in and out of the game make sense now
i'm on my way as well
gg
VI, O(U?), C.
Very nice
Exact spot is wrapped around there somewhere.
WOOOO
Now we need to just find the playable who knocked over that camera 
Looking for a therapod footprint now 
Omg Ben has relatives??
knew it
What poor misshapen head is that?
Good job Cerato
I dunno, I steal things and occasionally make them, this is a stolen one
I wasnt the only brain in this, Jolly and The rest of the lore gang helped too. I was just the one to find it 🫡
And now my ptera dies of starvation 
Rump fast traveled fr
My alarm didn’t go off because my phone fell out of my pocket

question now is ... where are the minmi footprints because it def was a minmi in the video 
Go team 🙏
Imagine.
That’s supposed to be a high five
damn was just on my way to your location cerato, big ups on finding it
DAMN, The fog REALLY made it hard to see lmao
Ah yes
This would make sense given the location on the trail cam
going through the suggested cyphers ill update if I find sth
Nevermind I’m still very tired
Im flying back to the Camera location to see if there is anything around it.
it's an f not a +
thanks

YALL!!!!
ITS ALLOSAUUS
Oh god no
I'm legit shaking
it's really a allo oh god
Is this real?
yeah
DOndi....Allosaurus
allosaurus eating as the other roars
what is Usgx-9921-c578 (b)
I added the cipher to a youtube.com/watch?V= and I got send here
A continuation of the dibble vid
rumple announcement in lorecord?
Yep
Lmaoooo allo time real
tbh, the decipher website gave me a clue
Do not go to general disc with this please
don't give it to the publics !!!
same
no one shall know unless they look for it
that would start WW3
It has to be a minmi even if it showd a allo
It’s far to late to do that
to late
I’m just glad I saw it here
Welp, ggs.
Thanks cerato and yeetthatmolotov for the lore discovery 
You unleash the dark magic of knowledge on this community
this is a Gravity Falls-level of scavenger hunt, so fun
this might be legit the greatest thing to ever happen to me
That was relatively intricate and I enjoyed watching it go down
The isle discussion is going crazy
Yeah, it’s time for work though, enjoy all that chaos yall
Didn't Don say there were multiple objects?
This doesnt mean allo in ht right?
Right?
It isn't
he did say "they're still there" but idk
Ik it isn’t now I mean it’s not coming to this one right
I don't thinks so
I don’t want the smoke, glad I swapped from team rex to team anti-shadow halfway through though
Shadows suck-oh wait
Dondi still referred to the lore object as "Them"
Could there be more than 1 cameras hidden?
Yep, Don described it as "Them"
Look more around the area
Possibly a rex TrailCam at the augustus location- that doesnt exist 
@acoustic osprey Still know where the base from Augustus video is?
wrong you will find a little burrow from a minmi 
Look all the video location that we know of
Keep your hope to yourself
Go for it
There is only 2
then we know our next objective if it isn't already found
One of the locations dont exist, so Im not sure.
I doubt they’ll put an announcement out, but if they do, I hope they credit you two
Maybe
rumple pls announce in lorecord, it's a joyous occasion!
Done, thanks for everybody’s efforts!
Its was fun to follow even if I didn't search a lot
Ikr
The insanity was nice.
So that south plains search paid off
It wasnt in south plains
yeah definitely
Where is it exactly
Dibble video location
Northeast of riverdelta
Idk where that is lol
Not exactly common information
Ty
Thats a good thing.
Right.
It's the lorecord we are lore crack heads
i wonder if we wouldve found it sooner if we hadnt tried to rid ourselves of thoughts about the video due to the shadow argument being annoying
I refuse to check lorecord right now, they are rabid dogs right now.
This was definitely a “when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail” moment
But we are so back
The insanity won over the logic like every respectable lore guy
Lol
Thats the truth
Who needs logic when we have lore
exactly
lore>logic any day
Or we could try to learn from our mistakes and play smart next time 
Never heard of that tactic, I just know the tactic called
"Charge in and let the insanity take over"
I mean the logic was sorta sound with it, Dibble Trailcam is at the site of the Video and that the random letters would be a cipher was kinda obvious
Well I’ll be thinking before charging in next time
Ngl if Dondi didnt correct my position in the dibble location, we wouldve not found the camera. And Im serious
we could, but a repeating gag is always funny (sometimes)
Honestly if I passed that, I’d think it’s just a glitch and not even think about it being lore related lol
The moment when we all realize that its was the dibble cam was priceless all the hint were line up.
what is going on
. . . . //
█ Usgx-9921-c578 (B) isle ███. Recovery operations for source material complete. Moving file to ARCHIVE (7).
lore object found allo confirmed
I need more context, I saw the video
Look in lorecord
It was the trailcam from the dibble video and there was a cipher on it, someone extremly awe and handsome deciphered it to be a part of the video link
hey i thought of looking there
Yeah we should also credit Jolly
yeah, the guy that did it had to be super smart, wonder who it could be
Jolly thought of the idea, I found it, Molotov decyphered
3 Step teamwork process.
The Brain, The act, The uh... Extremely handsome and super smart act.
lore team
idk abt smart, maybe they just had an idea to check a website for codebreaking cause they couldnt be bothered to try and decipher sth for hours
ive been rather detatched lately but the hunt has been interesting. thought over the whole thing in the shower today and remembered the "ingame and out of game" part, realized it pretty quickly
and @carmine marsh corrected my mispelling which lead to the right trail
I still dont know if its worth it to look for the second camera...
Why would dondi say "they" ?
Exactly
If there was only one
non-binary camera

second camera? the one the hooman switched out in the dibble vid?
Maybe its is in the middles of the jungle this time

if so then it could be at a human base, or like baron said
Where is the closest human base to the video... I think its the east dome base.
I12 or east dome
I dont know if I should look for it...
Because it might not exist.
go crazy, follow your instincts
Only one know and he will not say a word.
either east dome or volcano bunker
I12 aint too far away either though
Just another thing but it might be worth it to look at the base in the augustus herrera video. He tore cameras down
. If its not in yet I would still probably keep an eye around that area
Yes but
The base doesnt exist
The only mistake in here is
no Hyper Minmi in the isle
@sand basin would agree
Sad I've missed out on this, and won't be home for like 5 more hours... 
What a shame
oh. Maybe it will exist one day
I agree
I might still check tho
but maybe the cam does? who's to say
It may exist but we don't really know were to search and a cam is not easy to spot in the jungle
I like how the video description says that the camera was retrieved, yet its still there.
1 camera was retrieved
OH
The chances of the second camera in one of the bases laying on a table is rising..
maybe just the footage was retrieved idk
So who’s gonna check each camera to see if a code was added on the side of them
@hexed forge
I agree
file retrieved, singular
So it’s just the footage that was retrieved, not the camera
I thinks TheCerato earn a little bit of rest
I think your description is corrupted..
Even if we told him to rest, he wouldn’t
He doesn't get rest untill he finds that minmi footage
Yeah i know
im on the original dibble trail cam video
oh
but yeah, you're right
i have watched the video. Clearly this is a Chupacabra
Alright, ima check the bases from the AUGUSTUS video for more cameras.
The most factual thing ever said here.
xD I would have agreed if it isn't clearly a minmi
Maybe
a real possibility
Perhaps
run before it comes back smart
Pretty sure the Chupacabra uploaded it himself
Goat sucker
exactly
What is a minmi?
god
The only god I know is the Replicator
brotha got discord mod, power rushing to his head
I was already god
Explain it like you would to a child please
Its a dinosaur.
Perfection.
It is god
Oh so that is the thing in the video?
NO AHAHAHAH
And kind of dog is this?
if you believe it so then yes
it should have been 😭
Its an allo
A pebble with legs
Looks like a cera lacking vitamins to me
Explain the allo call in the video then!
Don't tell me I need to add support for a dino that was not in the living roadmap 
Yes, you do.
Type-N minmi
thank god we have a living roadmap
psst
Credit me and Molotov for finding out the secret dino 
🙄
this is the most COOLEST AND BASED THING EVER and I legit haven’t even watched the vid
Lmao
There’s also the distinct Allo call lol, who could forget that annoying thing
I'l do better
no, credit me for doing absolutely nothing
look a nova 😂😱
Get ready in Petits Pieds lol
hmmm
I don't thinks allo is for now now
oh no
Me neither lol
definetly not now now
just sooner than anticipated
Yeah
absolutely nothing is saying allo coming soon,
We just know its being worked on
I would guess that its on the same level of maia, maybe a bit under.
How did you find it actually?
you found that video link?
So really there was a mystery Dino, despite everyone saying no
No. There is a blurry video unlisted on youtube lol
You’re right. It’s pixelsaurus
SO
We found this lore object(Jolly gave us an idea on where it is), the camera, via Dondi's hints. (I found it) The Camera had a code on the side, Molotov decyphered the code and that code was a YT link.
Its was a lore hunt
Its part of the scavenger hunt Don created for the lore people lol
look at the state of the HT. If there is one thing this game doesn't need right now is an untested dino dropped out of the blue
allo won't come this ht
Meant a dinosaur that was being worked on without letting us know
Not one for this HT lol
I wouldn't worry about that.
I know lol I'm just stating when people talk about the so-called "secret dino"
erm
i love that i figured this out before a war thunder match and by the end of it everyone was screaming allo
Lol
"Why am I getting 20 pings, let me just shoot some tanks god damnit"
air battles!
You guys should check the augustus video location
I am
doesnt exist
which base is this
Its a combo of bases
A non existent one
it kinda looks like the one at highlands?
Just made an isle news video and published it, made sure to give you and the rest of the lore team credit, great work!!
Terrain is similar but we think it’s around west access
Its doesn't really exist
im there rn and the trees and plants r missing so i dont think its that one
Yo is this real
The video is also 7 months old , and terrain keeps getting updated aka trees, rocks ect…
yes
Yeah, it’s real
Yes this screen tearing is part of the HT build
lol
Its also on live
its a bug with dlss btw
Any bug left long enough is a feature, son
Ahaha
Fair enough lol
I wonder if the code on the camera is a temporary thing or will it stay there forever.
hopefully forever for people getting the game later on
Tbh I kinda hope that camera doesn’t stay there for ever
but it would be a cool throwback thing in like 2-3 years, “hey guys look, it’s the dibble cam”
"remember the shadow discussion?" 
"remember the herrera face hole discussion?" 
Why do all gifs get ruined lately lol
lol, i remember that
I pulled an all nighter looking for the damn thing
The SECOND I took a nap
The thing was found
Those guys were crazy(totally not one of the people who thought it was a strain)
I hope we get more lore-hunts 
Lets hope we do better next time though, lets not overthink and charge in, first we gotta lay out the hints and notes 
yeah it was kinda fun, even if our mental health was at an all time low lol
Tbf, how most of us interpreted it, it sounded like it would be much more visible than it was
more thinking, less... doing 
shouldn't it be less thinking , more doing
yeah lol
We did that and it took us 2 days.
yeah i was about to say lol, we did way too much
😂🫵
And Don said that it would take us a day at most lmao
Perhaps even minutes iirc..
I don’t even think there was a plan for who went where at first, as soon as the patch dropped, everyone hopped on to search
well be a better lore nerd next time

since when is this here?
Since one of the QoL updates
Can't get over the fact it took us 2 days to check the dibble area 
hyperfocusing on the wrong places moment
we forgot the "ingame and out of game" part
...i feel sooo stupid, like it was soo clear that we were supposed to go there
we need to create a map
For sure
confirmation bias resulted in us thinking that we were looking for something visually obvious, i think that was a major issue
but yeah lol
mark every base
mark every wall
mark every possible future base location
Anything that is significant in anyway needs to be marked for search
and write down notes for each and every single one of them lol. "Here's an untextured cube, there's no collision there..."
Exactly
We play it smart next time
Bases that had issues last patch but are now fixed likely also had renovations done
They're not gonna add just one object and leave everything else alone
Hopefully next time it’s a bit more obvious visually lolol
I hope its a piece of paper in a bush in a random forest
Well now I atleast know there is a radio tower in east plains, never knew that before.
Even better
A receipt
And imagine if we find THAT faster than the damn camera.
If its placed anywhere not obvious we'll find it instantly
Worst part is we usually find things much quicker when we aren’t looking for them lol
I only hopped on within the last 24h, had a busy day most of yesterday
but also I didnt find anything ingame
Good job tho on the deciphering
mhm, team effort.
Next lore patch on a weekend plz so I can search thoroughly 
I think the lore hunt is over
I mean whenever something like this happens again, which prob won’t happen for a while if at all,usually we just find stuff without don telling there’s new stuff
So I was right; the real Lore was the Friends we made along the way!

Oh yeah, isaac will be happy on us finding it
Omg I totally forgot Isaac has no Idea yet
It would be interesting to look at the nearest human base
hey @acoustic osprey putting this here for when you wake up!
Think he’ll be quite happy he doesn’t have to search for the 4th-5th time
It was more than that lol
Jolly came in clutch with that idea
And tbh if Don didnt correct my position we wouldve never found it 
@carmine marsh came in clutch with that spelling correction lol
How many times did he search in 12 hours lol
Don and Jolly came in clutch
(Jolly is clearly Don's alt account)
^
I think some places got searches in the double digits
yes
So Jo-Don when Shirley
The marsh..
rule 10!!!!!!!
Jesus
BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THEM!
Omg now that im thinking about it
literally went insane
nobody decided to rethink where to look
I just started from water access and did a delta route search the other before hopping off, people were already double checking places and that was like an hour after the patch dropped
I checked H6 5 times
Marsh 2 times
East dome 2 times
Perm enterance 5 times
D10 Thrice..
Multiple caves... about 4 times..
idk how many times I checked where, all I know is I went to bed at 6am lol
Ahaha
Watch us stick our faces in the ground and literally look for the smallest thing possible next time, when it’s really something huge
We need sheer man power
"I think that domes new..."
"NONSENSE KEEP LOOKING
"
lol
“FORGET THE DOME! This grass blade looking off”
I literally didnt notice a big ass radio tower behind me because I was too busy looking at the rocks for any cave enterings.
And when I noticed it I freaked out thinking its the lore object..
Hey if it makes you feel better
I want gen 1 lore 
Never knew about it either
a lot of people didnt know about it, it only loads in when you get close to it which is kinda weird
Makes sense why I never saw it in admin mode lol
It's LOD is messed up?
prob
is this the camera? if so, the allo broke it
if the allo broke the camera...
we will need a Camera change

Welp time to hibernate until next patch


Now I’m really curious on what the Shirley video will be
I'd do it all over again
Haven’t seen you in a good minute winters
Been lurking time to time. Though, recent stuff with Allo been kicking back some spark in me.
Very nice
Lore server was going wild for a minute there, looks like things calmed down pretty quick
Betting it ends up being something that’s exciting for a few days as more people come and ask if it’s real, then it’s a widely accepted thing until the next big drop
Anything come up about noises near any of the domes? My friends been adamant she's been hearing stuff around them but I've spent quite abit of time around them lately in the HT and live, and haven't heard or seen anything new.
Other than like I'm guessing a new graphical glitch where red glowing bits appear randomly on the ground and objects.
are there any other videos that end with a camera being jumped
noises? was she playing gali? I've never heard any noises near the domes
In the last several updates devs have added a TON of new directional ambience sounds, some of which seem to be legacy calls
ahh nvm
Augustus video
go go go
I believe there’s been some general ambience changes recently
did we figure out what this means?
That was just the code to the video
The heck is a shirley
Rex .003 in the lore
Not much is known about her, other than dondi has had her planned for a while
Oh and she says hi in the Augustus video
Interesting, I'm playing a lot of catch up on lore, appreciate the info
Now that the roster is rounding out with dibble & allo, I think Shirley would be able to survive with the options on the menu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Q9lSVC0X8 @median shuttle
already seen it 
man no credit for the plant man
Oh yeah... 
@carmine marsh also has recieved sparsely any credit
No problem, she’s my specialty lol
So it specifically a special rex or just rex in general?
She might be special, so far it seems special dinosaurs get named, Augustus was a special Herrera for example
Plus she’s been on don plan board for a while so she’s probably not just a regular Rex
If its not a reg rex lets say, is it like a playable or ai or something?
No she’s just part of the games story, you’ll never actually get to see Shirley unless don does something special in game for her
@placid flint also deserves some cred for being the first to suggest it being a cypher and providing the highquality image to read off of
damn, even my husband who doesn't play TI thinks what happened is pretty cool, he said it's called an arg? I didnt know what that meant so he defined it for me:
"An ARG (alternate reality game) is a type of interactive storytelling where players come together to solve puzzles and tasks in order to progress through the story arc. These games are typically set in virtual or real-world environments and involve a variety of media such as videos, audio, text and images."
Ah okay, so at most we will probably get things in game that may show links to Shirley, but I shouldn't expect her to be chasing me through the woods
thats relieving tbh lol
Exactly
I wonder if even don knows this or if it just turned out this way
Inb4 she become an in game event, the first spotted Hyper or something of the sort

That’s one of my guesses for Shirley actually, she might be the first strain tested dinosaur that AE made
does anyone have documented what some of the ambient calls you here in game are?
I always hear them between 2-4AM
They’re usually named kinda like this “large theropod roar” “large hadrosaur call”
Oh you mean what they are, they’re just like old legacy sounds , some are new tho
“Generic dinosaur sounds” is what I call them lol
Btw want an invite to the lore server? You can always go in there to ask stuff as well
Oh theres a whole other server?
Tbh I hate roars being in the ambience it's super confusing
Mhm, rump owns it
Yeah I'll take an inv!
