Side note, just so you guys know, I've started hosting the 1029.io site on the OddWideWeb:

GOOD JOB! ;):D |
YEEEEESH!! So much stuff went down!! I'm so sad that Ed is gone :(((((
And i thought I'd never have to look at those number and letter strings again :fuzemb: |
Ed gone?! Stay Storm!
Also lot progress seems happenED. Keeping curiosity up. :) |
:
BUEMDYHNI could be an anagram of "UH, BYE MIND" lol :p |
I dont know if its anything but I was looking for words in the strings and got
KEY SYMBOL PAGE ABE SITE FACTS NICE SICK RUN HUT and then left over JQVCDCXKJZW JUST TRY TO LONG HEAD BELONG |
Come back to all this after a few days out, glad I found out what eds tweet was about, RIP ED. Even so I'm still impressed by you guys, when it comes to numbers and strings I can't work anything out.

Wiki has been updated now:
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Souls...d_transmission It contains links to the OddWideWeb, Havok I hope that's ok for you. |
Why is this puzzle so damn difficult!?
I don't get how we're supposed to use the word 'BACKBREAKING' on 'something else on the page'... Assuming that 'something else' is the grid, we already used the grid to obtain the word 'BACKBREAKING'. One thing is for sure, backbreaking is no coincidence. It has a purpose. And remember, the final result is *probably* going to be 1173418569. Maybe we can work backwards from that? BACKBREAKING as numbers = 2-1-3-11-2-18-5-1-11-9-14-7 2131121851119147 1173418569 as letters = A couple of different combinations but here's one KGCDREFI And once more: 8992 8554 57 73 E=5OUEHRA(U) |
Well, I'm speechless... Harsh stuff.
Ed lost a friend... "...he never came back. I could hear him screaming all night... helpless. they took him... he was my friend. how did they know?" |
I wonder if the Mud in the picture was his poor friend he lost..I was a bit worried that it was Ed honestly. But it's nice to see that at least he's okay.

But that poor other Mud... That's so grim... |
POOR Mudokon
@oddworldInc You've given us enough for us to get to work cleaning up the image, we'll have something by tomorrow. Don't stop looking for the truth! https://t.co/tyG1qTvCeD
This picture show us "they" are taking TEARS from mudokon again, But in a more cruel way... As they do in Exoddus 18 years ago... Waiting for Tomorrow... oddworldInc Will clean the picture!:fuzwink: |
I wonder was death of poor unnamed Mud planned in ARG, or we accidentally killed someone. Feel myself very guilty, though I wasn't here when everything happened. Like it's Bad Ending that cannot be altered.
Picture is creepy. Some thoughts of craniotrypesis came to me suddenly. O.o Do not know why. |
I be here trying to solve it and everyones just like
"Useless comment" "Useless comment" Useless comment" The so I thought, maybe the /\ apply to the letters beside them, this allowed me to get TWO seemingly correct prefic to each strain of numbers and letters, apart from one I could only figure out one, but you know what? In the past the pictures have had two letter codes at the end! Maybe this is a sign the strings ate backwars eg backcracking?!? Maybe place the // at the end of rows and work backwards? I dunno, its 4AM and I cant think anymore Sorry if im a little angry :D |
So they posted this image:
https://scontent-arn2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...47&oe=59487FB2 This is some creepy sh*t... Do they still want us to try figuring out the grid puzzle? We have the key and the answer, but not the actual solution :') |
I notice the number 8291 is appearing again, both in the filenames of one of the files, and also in the source code for the grid page where you can see the grid image is set to be 82.91% of the page width
|
Nice work decoding the image! Look forward to seeing the cleaned up version tomorrow :)
A quick thought on Ed for those wondering if he's in any of the images we find- seems to me that Ed could be named after his slave number, that the last two characters would be ED? (like the BB, BG etc we've seen throughout the ARG) Perhaps the first letter 'B' could indicate a class/group of worker, B for those destined to be blinded for example, E for... those who keep their eyes? Maybe? Pure speculation! Lastly, on the image with the text NEED MORE HELP, the infinity symbol and two crosses stood out to me as a depiction of Abe, two eyes and stitch lips! Not had much time to go over this thread so apologies if this has already been mentioned. |
Does anyone think "they" might be testing a tear extractor on this mud? There's a lot of eye related imagery throughout this section of the ARG.

Xav, can we have seperate thread for the grid and image discussion now? Please....

The binary code says:
"Can you hear me" e: Im a idiot. Xavier pls delet this post |
Hi you all. It's been a long time since I visited the forums. And what a topic has this become! 20 pages of crazy oddworldness.
I'm not good with cyphers or photoshop, but I love puzles. I hope Soulstorm will turn out to be less difficult than this ARG. Just trying to follow what's happening is a challenge. Anyway, I think applying True and false on the letter and number string is the start. Like vince mentioned around page 9. I know It's a rather useless comment, but know that there are extra brains out there trying to help. |
Oh damn. You joined in 2001! Welcome back!

 A moment of silence for Ed's friend... |

Not sure if anyone has pointed out the syringe/needle in the bottom right corner... It seems to have 3 finger holes. As Vykkers have 3 fingers, do you reckon we will see them in Soulstorm?
|
The details on this new image is nice. The jar in the upper left has the octogi symbol
|
By the way was it ever confirmed if that was officially the Magog Cartel logo?

Need to? I think the final clear images are behind the solving of the grid puzzle. |
:
What I meant was, do we need to solve it now that everyone is stiching the Images together, cause im still working on it :) But I dont want to waste time on it if you guys dont care anymore... Cause it actually costs me alot in data to get on here Iv spent $40 in the past two weeks trying to solve stuff XD |
:
I dunno, maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself here haha. :
I'm guessing that symbol is meant to be Abe, right? |

whether they want to go to a bad ending or not. It will be on their conscience. In Oddworld games you can just accidentally skip some Mudokons because didn't even knew secret level was hidden in certain place. Especially this will mean you never get good ending after that. |
