The Pigpen code is upside down... first two words spell "KNOW YOUR", working on the rest as we speak.
EDIT: The BabelStone Pigpen code reads: KNOW YOUR CODES KEEP THEM CLOSE YOU WILL NEED THEM |
I had a theory that it could be a 2-dimensional barcode but when looking those up they look like QR codes, nothing on the scale of this....

(Ivzw gsv mfnyvih pmld gsv gifgs) through a cryptogram solver and got READ THE NUMBERS KNOW THE TRUTH Edit: Could very well be something else but I didn't find sense in the other results |

What cryptogram solver did you use? |

On a side note. I'm not posting too much or anything like that am I? |
Nah you can post as much as you want as long as your posts are relevant and interesting.
Do you guys think they used the same trick for the arrows? http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/qu...←↓ |
The morse is all one message chopped up into parts (notice the slashes cut off etc), here it is aligned:

Yes GreenAnhinga deciphered it previously but it's good to see the full picture :)

Couldn't figure it out its incomplete..

Sorry but I gotta throw in the proverbial towel. It's 3:30am and I gotta get up soon. Good luck everyone! I'm really really glad I was actually able to help.

The barcode reads "findawayshowthetruth". It reads top to bottom so I took one vertical row and rotated it 90 degrees counter clockwise and stretched it and adjusted contrast to make it more readable. Similar to the newsletter.

3 hours in and you guys have already worked out a majority of it! Impressive stuff!
So we still need to work out the Arrows on the left hand side, and the large square of squares? Maybe the arrows are for degrees ranging from 0-360? Also, would people like me to compile a collage of everything you guys have worked out thus far? |
Attached a "so far" image. Seems all that's left are the arrows. I wonder if we're missing something big from before? All the decodings seem to be catch phrases as opposed to new URLs or files.

By the time I uploaded a video telling folks about the ARG, you guys already solve most of it.
I tip my hat to you good sirs and madams |

Tweeted the info to Oddworld Inhabitants on Twitter. They liked my tweets. Looks like we're on the right track!
|
I'm glad I managed to work out the morse code one alone before coming to this forum, also not sure if someone already mentioned this already, it's a small detail but the Dump Dots below all the social media stuff on the bottom right says "Spread our message" nothing too big but still.

"Know your codes" scares me. I hope someone has all this stuff written down somewhere.

I measured the angles of the arrows and found:
http://i.imgur.com/p6rnn31.png 290 220 270 280 160 110 180 310 140 310 Respectively. Edit: http://i.imgur.com/8sHUxNV.png 310 320 210 330 310 320 I also attempted to do the 'possible horizontal barcode' but didn't get any results. Then again, I haven't tried the known barcode, so it could be my method that is wrong. Edit: I tried the known barcode and didn't get any results either - my method is bad. |
Great idea Vince, I don't think any of us had thought to check their angles

http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Soulstorm_ARG Still need to update the latest findings tho. |
Well shit. The one day I'm super busy this week it kicks off.. :D won't be able to get involved really until Saturday earliest, good luck guys. I have a window now to catch up so I'll read through :P my first thought was the pigpen might be upside down Xav, because of that picture in the last phase that had it flipped, glad to see you got it :P keep going everyone

Found this online, think the arrows refer to how far we need to shift

I now wonder if I was onto something last time, remember I found BETH hidden in the text? Never thought it could translate to B THE |
