Hello everyone,
I've been following the thread since it has starded and you did a great job so far. I have just created an account because i've stumbled upon that while i was trying to find new things to decypher with the form. http://i.imgur.com/8gkaSDq.jpg?1 I suppose it appears no matter what you write at your 75th attempt because the picture's name is attemptnumberseventyfive.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2jWoBmC.jpg?1 There is certainly something hidden in that picture but I still don't know what, I'm sure one of you will have an idea. (and I hope it works for you, i'm not an expert at posting and uploading stuff...) |
Wow! Very interesting! Thanks for your contribution!
|
Cool! I wonder how it's crypted
|
I tried so hard to figure out what the 75 thing was.
If you look at the source code for the page, you'll see "attempt number 75" at the top. I'm glad I was actually onto something with that. Good job, man. I'm going to try resampling it with Harmor and messing around with it in PS. I'm on my phone right now so if someone wants to try changing the file type that might be a good shout. |
The image is solved, it leads to here.
|
I see "spirit of"
Also, how did he find that? EDIT: Notice how this whole page looks like it was written on an old mobile keypad. The spacing of the letters and shit. |
i see also "find me" and "rescue me"
|
The key to understanding the image is to squint your eyes looking at it.
I actually can't, but a friend of mine did figure it out. It says the name of the file. |
if you see closely somewhere there's a "0451.jpg".
Then i wrote "oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg" And i got this: http://oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg |
http://www.oddworld.com/soulstorm/0451.jpg
Edit: damn it SgabbitGabbiar beat me to it. The text file also contains findme hear me rescue me spirit of #RF |

We could try to move the "glitched parts" of the image back to place, maybe the remaining parts are gonna tell us something |
It's the Brewery.
|
I noticed that Googling 0451 gave some really interesting references to other games like Bioshock and Deus Ex.
Hmmm... Is there some significance to this number? |

|
I'm pretty sure Lorne Lanning mentioned Pink Floyd as being is favourite band, in one of his GDC interviews.
|
I didn't notice that it was so obvious until I looked at it again.
|
0451 (or just 451) is the temperature in Fahrenheit that paper begins to burn.
Something to do with The Brewery exploding? |
If you Ctrl + F on the Intercepted.txt page, and search the main repeating text:
abc def ghi jkl mno pqrs tuv wxyz ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO PQRS TUV WXYZ !"§ $%& /() =?* '<> #|; ²³~ @`´ ©«» ¤¼× {} It'll highlight everything, except for the hidden messages. I think it's safe to say there's nothing else on that page. |
True. The txt file is 100% clean.
|
Dangit, everything cool happens when I'm asleep. Kudos to you, Babiroussa (and welcome to the forums!)
|
I know we found this already, but I didn't think the numbers meant anything. I'm not sure if I just ran into something we missed, or what.. but I was Ctrl + Fing the source page of the Soulstorm page, and it took me to:
!-- HELL04==five --!-- L1PSwhat 0451 must mean something? |
:
Maybe a future password for something? |
Moot, I think that was a hint to look for the 0451.jpg image that has been found. It's been there for a while, but I don't think anyone had solved it yet.

I was thinking the same thing Manco. It could be old, and we just didn't pick up on it. But it could still hold relevance, who knows!
|
If it keeps turning up then it's more likely to be a significant number. I'd certainly be trying it for any passwords we need later in the ARG.
