The morse code in the video may have also said something about ghosts. Anyone tried to cross-reference the alphabet of the image symbols to the symbols in the video?

I think you guys were closer before.

cdgoodwill 04-26-2017 09:14 AM

before? with the elements and stuff?

Phoetux 04-26-2017 09:15 AM

Damn it Alex, be more specific :p

Goodguyplayer 04-26-2017 09:34 AM

This may be wrong, but "use what you can't see". Gas, liquid, solid. The middle pic is the one where there's gas. We cannot see gas, so we should look for clues on it?

Edit: and it was suggested before. Whoops. Ignore this post

TopHattedTime 04-26-2017 11:03 AM

And I was Reeeeaaally hoping we'd get to talk to some ghosts :')

Granitehead96 04-26-2017 11:39 AM

I've been trying to mess the the audio from the video. No progress, but the results of my testing sounds terrifying

Vanilla ✜ 04-27-2017 01:17 AM

I'm wondering if there's literally something we can't see in the image or if we have the work out what's happening in the center that's related to air, fire, earth or water?
I don't think the mud in the chamber is being gassed in anyway, I still think the eyes look swollen and in the video the muds grabbing his head/eyes in pain so I think his eye's have been injected with something to make them produce more "tears" which would relate it to the word liquid. Unsure as to anything else though.

What things did you find in the image that seemed to be important? How could you use them?
Well, there's the "Use what you can't see" which is the main clue, then also the elements "Fire, Air, Water, Earth" and the states "Gas, Liquid, Solid". Everything else seems to be irrelevant. Also, maybe the "use what you can't see" clue literally means use the blind cipher? Anyway.

How can we use the clues we've found?

Well the elements are related to things like alchemy and witchcraft... Sadly we're not gonna get to talk to ghosts so something related to alchemy seems more likely...?

How can we use the states and elements? Are we looking for URL? maybe a jpeg? We're supposed to use the elements and states in a metaphorical sense... hnnnnggg :fuzconf:

It's been great reading through all this info. Though the solution is much simpler than you're thinking. You have everything you need and you're looking in the right direction. Try focusing on what's missing.

Okay dokay! It's good to know we've got everything we need :D

Could it be the sections of the separate images that are missing?

PenguinX45654 04-27-2017 05:56 AM

Just seen a FB post from OWI with this message:

"If something appears irrelevant, it probably is. Don't be misled by it."

Seems like they really want us to focus on something specific...

TopHattedTime 04-27-2017 06:31 AM

okay, so I made a literal compilation of what we're missing from the findit image out of the other images we already discovered. May or may not be useful, but it's worth it for now!

http://imgur.com/a/6tlXl

Just as a side thought - are we looking for the next image in the process? as in, we first found the muds being enslaved, then tortured, then the aftermath of the torture, so are we looking for what's next in that process?

cdgoodwill 04-27-2017 06:40 AM

...Burial. *gulp*

Nice one, I'm hoping with these images that it isn't a case of patching the messy edges together cause that would be such a pain.
Hopefully we'll get some kind of yay or nay soon.

OWI_Bernice 04-27-2017 06:45 AM

You don't need to paste anything together. Look at what you've found already. You've been so close.

tmakz 04-27-2017 06:56 AM

You can see Earth Fire and Water Air you cant see everything else is visible Air invisible but you can feel it

cdgoodwill 04-27-2017 06:57 AM

Ok, We've found:
Morse code, which tells us to use a different code
The symbols in the top left, which repeat the text from 1029.io
Symbols cut off on the top and bottom that tell us the classical elements and the states of matter.

Vanilla ✜ 04-27-2017 07:03 AM

Purely going off the Burial and turning one element into another, the body when decaying releases carbon dioxide which could be classed as a solid turning into a gas?

TopHattedTime 04-27-2017 07:03 AM

solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), and plasma (fire). Is "plasma" what's missing?? OWI must be banging their heads in frustration at us hahaha :')

ahahaha, we're trying!!

cdgoodwill 04-27-2017 07:08 AM

Is it aether? That's another element?

I've tried "plasmaaether" "plasmavoid" and various other combos and stuck them on the end of the 1029.io link to no success - guess we've just gotta keep going!!!

"These products are then used as treatments that can potentially help save the lives of people suffering from burns, shock, trauma, and other medical emergencies. The proteins and antibodies in plasma are also used to create therapies for rare chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders and hemophilia."

Xavier 04-27-2017 07:18 AM

Yeah I tried "plasma" already in numerous places.

I'm still not sure I understand the logic to figure out where we should try our findings.

I'm guessing directly after 1029.io/ like the last puzzle but I'm not really sure.

I was wondering it too since it's the fifth element, the quintessence that can be considered the harmonious fusion of the four natural elements that together make possible existence. And it's missing here.
But it could be about plasma too.

that's what I've been doing so far with no success... I'm stabbing in the dark, but I hope I'm stabbing in the right direction?

Vanilla ✜ 04-27-2017 07:24 AM

It depends on what kind of plasma as plasma can be used to treat people, but it's also some strange gas.
Plasma is also used to treat "dry eyes" as it can be made into a kind of eye drop.
Maybe this Plasma eye treatment is being used on the mud in the chamber after subjection to the tear extractor or a new kind of tear extractor.
