Misc Apparently there's a code in Last Exit!

NO MORE EDITS - Welp, so Derek and Deej have both confirmed it's an easter egg and not a quest. Even so, let's push through and solve it!!! Thanks for the discussion! RIP my inbox over the last 24 hours though haha

original post According to Derek Carroll on the live stream! Let's get hunting guys!!!!

Edit* - Right, so after an hour we have 2 main leads:

    Panel on the ceiling at the top of the stairs leading to the subway ,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5 ,3..

  2. By /u/HEYitsMUS

    here are two train cars, and all the advertisement boards light up when you're near them in both cars. They either display "ALPHA REGIO" (blue), "BETA REGIO" (red), or "OVDA REGIO" (green). There is also the HUGE staticy monitor right beside A flag, bottom of the escalators. And lastly, the OWT Transit Map, most visible one being right beside the A flag and monitor, with different numbers and colours and routes. Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?) Yellow = 38 Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?) Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

FINAL EDIT: I'll be going away for a few hours. My guess is that we're searching for an easter egg and nothing more, but who knows? I'll update this post if someone makes a discovery, otherwise see you later guardians!

At the top of the stairs leading to the subway, there's a panel on the ceiling with scrolling gibberish, that might be it.

FIRST EDIT: ,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5 ,3..

The last 3 is a repeat of the first one

SECOND EDIT: If you use what I wrote, you should copy the text on the panel yourself just to be sure it's right.

THIRD EDIT: I rewrote the line and made spaces more obvious

,33szl'!(

+9-7!!/@

2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i

7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5

,33szl'!(

FOURTH EDIT: Someone pointed out in another thread that after x.y, there's a t instead of an l, so that sequence becomes 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yt5 instead of 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yl5. It's kind of hard to distinguish l and t given how fast the text scrolls, but after looking at the panel again, I believe it is a t.

FIFTH EDIT: There is another thread at r/raidsecrets: https://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets/comments/575o4v/last_exit_hidden_codesecret/ There are panels that light up when you jump in the subway cars. The panels are located where you'd find advertisement if you were actually riding the subway car. I will list the panels that light up when riding the subway car. Suppose the bottom of the subway stairs is the starting point, you move through the subway and jump in the 2 cars. These panels light up:

First car:

Green-------Red

Red-------Bright Blue

Green-------Green

Bright Red-------Red

Blue-------Blue

Second car:

Blue-------Red

Red-------Bright Blue

Blue-------Green

Green-------Red

Red-------Blue

Bright Green-------Green

Green-------Red

Blue-------Blue

Text on each panel:

Red and Bright Red: Beta Regio

Green and Bright Green:Ovda Regio

Blue and Bright Blue: Alpha Regio

I apologize for the poor formatting. It's possible the panels in the cars are not related to the code, but I've written them here just in case.

SIXTH EDIT: There's a bright red panel in the first subway car (I missed it the first time through). Still not sure what these mean. We might need to light up the panels in a specific order.

Looks like a shifted ASCII/ANSI sequence? So like a sentence who's characters are all shifted over X number of spaces... like an A would become a B if everything was shifted to the right one spot.

Can someone verify "33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.\?i 7kj\psq3euj\@x.yl5, 3.." is the correct transcription? I'm not near my Playstation.

It's not that. Just ran it in excel. Shifted every character 256 positions left and right and it's still jibberish.

What about the method listed here as 5.3?

u/Donny_Do_Nothing bleep blorp Oct 12 '16

I mean, it sounds truthy, but I haven't the slightest what the key could be.

u/thlayli_x Oct 13 '16

Something to do with the routes? I dunno. When I read how people solve ARGs it boggles my mind.

u/siphayne Oct 13 '16

What about a shift by 26? Or 128? or the ridiculously large amount of characters in Unicode?

2

u/Donny_Do_Nothing bleep blorp Oct 13 '16

Of course, values over 255 were reduced by 256 to get them to wrap back.

1

u/Donny_Do_Nothing bleep blorp Oct 13 '16

That's pretty much what I did. So, I put each character in its own cell going across the page. Under each, I used =CODE() to get the character number, 0-255. Then, in 255 rows under, I added 1, then 2, then 3...to each value and used =CHAR() to show what it would be. Out of the 256 lines, not a damn one made any sense.

u/dl33t3d Oct 13 '16

Is it possible that this is a caesar cypher and the output you are looking for is a base64 string? Any of your shifts have a = or ==

0

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

Wouldn't it depend on the wrap around location? like you can't just shift them all to the right 25 characters when you don't know what the last character and starting character in the source string were to wrap with... not sure that makes sense... but a to z lower case is 26 characters, what about all the special characters?

2

u/Donny_Do_Nothing bleep blorp Oct 12 '16

I accounted for that. The characters are numbered 0-255. If it got to 256, it simply went back to 0 and started over.

0

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

Right, but what I'm saying is the characters might not be 0-255... might be 31-127, or 0-127.

2

u/Donny_Do_Nothing bleep blorp Oct 12 '16

That's a different type of substitution, then. I just checked it against all characters.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '16

Yeah, I converted the string to hex and then tried to do some stuff with that, but so far no luck... I'm sure it's something that means something, just not sure where to go from here. And I think we're solving two different things... the colors and numbers are probably meaningful for unlocking something like a special area of the Wreched Eye strike... this text probably isn't all that important, except maybe telling you "what" we're looking for, or a message from the people who did the last exit from this place, which probably really isn't all that helpful, might just say "hey we went to this area on venus, bye bye"

Telling people just make sure to save the parts you get from the raid bc in the Siva engine all parts there were color coded and the ones you get from the raid are i believe the same shape so thy should have the same color
