Let’s recap the hints we have:

:
Focus on the truth. Qvfpneq jung lbs qba'g arrq [Discard what yof don't need]. Tmb bpm vcujmza ocqlm gwc [Let the numbers guide you]. Be the storm. #wewillrise
:
/\\/Focus on the /truth. /\\\Discard what you \don't need. #wewillrise
:
Sometimes the answers are more simple than they appear. Discard what you don't need. Be the storm. #wewillrise
:
The beginning is always significant. Pay special attention to the way things start and you will be closer to the truth. #wewillrise
:
When a problem seems to have no logical pattern, we must \discard distractions and focus simply on the /useful elements to find the /truth.
What I’m taking from these hints is:
  • The answer is simpler than we think.
  • / signifies a piece that we want.
  • \ signifies something needs to be discarded.
  • “Let the numbers guide you” suggests we should look at solving the numbers first.
  • The slashes at the beginning of each string are the key to solving.
  • “Distractions” seems to imply something in the puzzle is there to be misleading or hide the solution; this is what needs to be discarded.

The confusing part here is that the remaining segments don’t seem to be consistent with the mastermind code in the previously solved sections – how do we match the slashes to the longer strings of letters/numbers?
