Technomancers from Alpha Centauri, no doubt.
Techno-necromancers, to be exact.
now, now, let's be exact with the wording
TECHNONECROMANCERS SUPPOSED BY GIANTS OF ENTERTAINMENT FROM ALPHA CENTAURI AND DEMONS IN PANDEMONIUM
Classic
100% it was fortold!
What's that?
Blows my mind how people discover any of these steps, let alone the entire puzzle
Well, it's kind of mind blowwing to think about it, but it's because of the millions of people that have eyes on it. People that are smart enough and creative enough to figure it out, not only do they have eyes on it, but they're guided to social media networks of people on the other side of the world with the same smarts and interest in the same thing. Something like this at a college campus would never get solved, but I think we underestimate just how powerful and crazy the internet's ability to connect like-minded people that would've never met or know eachother before.
As a kid in high school in 1999, I had the net, but finding new people wasn't really as easy as it is wth todays programs, so most of my friends were a lot different than I was. These days, I have friends around my city that are people I would've never met without the internet, bands I would've never had, game mods I would have never made.
Unfortunately, this means it also brings shitty people together to collectivize their effort and be louder and even shittier. lol
I was just about to say the same thing... I don't think any one person has all the skills to solve it, but other people have other skills or knowledge to help... It brings alot of people with different skills together and it's awesome@@chloewebb5526
The power of collective efforts
meanwhile I'm over here happy I just found a couple trailer park boys references in game. Go to the right parking lots and scan the npcs to find Ricky, Bubbles, and Julian talk about the "cabbage" they just planted!
@@SuryaGupta-te7fq that's pretty dope! I've only ever noticed the blatant references, like Mr "Number One Surgeon"
The original FF06B5 mystery was an in-joke by the development team. They had to crunch out the game for initial release while there was many features still missing, one of the developer tasks was to fix all the objects with missing textures - those objects had a HEX color of FF06B5 which is magenta (used in game development to make unfinished objects easy to find). So as a joke, the developers put in a tongue and cheek statue that was a shrine to these magenta objects. This was solved years ago but got buried because people didn't accept such a simple answer, and the new answers for the FF06B5 mystery were added later as part of the update with the new DLC.
Honestly, this makes a lot of sense. I would do this too as a developer.
No. It's FF06B5, not FF00FF.
@@TilW It wasn't just textures, it was prefab objects that came with a specific cube in that FF06B5 color. Look up "prefab missing cyberpunk" in images you'll see what I mean.
Also makes sense why a lot of the parts of the mystery/solution added, like the war games reference and the QR code on the cube, are tongue and cheek ways of telling the players that we were originally reading way too far into things.
@@TilW What's the difference between Magenta and Shocking Pink anyways?
I've said it before, but I honestly believe that originally there was no grand plan for this. The devs only added these bits in later after people started trying to solve a non-existent mystery. The message at the end actually makes sense if you approach it from that perspective.
Waht makes sense, cause the most parts were patched in afterwards.
@@TigerNationDE I didnt consider this but its now the only thing that makes sense to me. Its a cool form of live service though I suppose. But yeah it wasn't just "in the game" it was added piece by piece
Means what it says on the tin, choom. You're seeing patterns in tv static because that's how your brain's evolved, not because there are any patterns to see.
Let go and enjoy the ride, entropy claims prophet and porter alike in the end.
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!
XD I bet it was a place holder and they forgot about it. The number lol
Polyhistor's "scanning devices" are in the same arrangement as Sheala de Tansarville's mirror teleporter she uses in Wither 2 in Flotsam. So maybe Polyhistor teleported into Witcher universe or something...
I really like how that ties in with Ciri's visit to the Cyberpunk universe. Maybe these easter eggs are more solid connections than we thought.
that is pretty much what happened
I thought that the quote "The only way to win is not to play" its a reference for you to unlock the final cutscene of this ARG, you must stand still in the mattress, and literally not play the game in order to win, its the only thing that make sense to me anyway
Good point
It could also be a hint at the lore, as Wargames was also about the madness that is trying to win a nuclear war.
Didn't one of the devs said the game will end eventually even if you do not do any quest? Maybe after getting the relic from Konpeki, you do not do anything and wait for your demise?
@@TheEditorify if what you remember is correct that would be very interesting
"The game" is a philosophical interpretation of the life we've created in society. If you want to win in life, don't play the game. If you want to get anywhere, don't follow the rules.
The ff 06 b5 mystery is that there is no mystery- As that message says, your brain is looking for patterns. We made up the mystery and the developers ran with it and put it in their new content.
So Johnny was right, we did all that and it was just the picture of a giant C0(k.
Likewise, there is no conspiracy, just our disdain of those given power. More often than not we are our greatest mystery and our associations are our greatest conspiracy.
no way, they’ve been stringing us along since the beginning. these messages telling us it’s over is simply misdirection
The text in the statues was the teaser, but surely they planned it, otherwise it wouldn't have been there to begin with.
@@Ecliptor. That is the thing. You can just throw any random thing out there. And then someone says, hmmm there is a mystery behind this thing and it starts an avalanche. And the community have now created something out of nothing and the developer can choose to expand on it. Making a mystery is the easiest thing in the world. You just create a symbol or write ff06b5 and say ahh yes huge mystery behind it.
"The only way to win is not to play" Is present thru the whole game , its not only how you unlock the matress cutscene , its also the key to become a legend in night city in jhonny's own words, "you finally found out what it takes to become a legend.".
It's not storming the arasaka building, it's sitting still.
or not complete chapter 1 where Jackie doesn't die you don't get a chip in your head.
Or just turn the game off before starting a playthrough.
OR perhaps it is like Far Cry 4 the waiting ending .... ? Maybe we should wait before going in konpeki plaza ?
My NCPD character post-heist making her 735th "arrest":
"Wait, I was dying and supposed to have dinner at Embers?"
The way I see it? Don't fucking come to NC, that way, you win the game, you have a chance of getting a good ending.
This is all so well done by CDPR and the extra effort put in for fans is to be applauded.
If only this effort had been put into the game pre-release
@@benwillems8584 True. I see it like a reputable car salesman who sells me a faulty car but takes it back and tries to make up for it by giving me another one and throws a bunch off free Formula One tickets in to make up for it. The extra effort to make up for it is much appreciated because most wouldn’t bother but I’ll never trust that dealer again.
@@benwillems8584 The effort was put in the devs did their job the corporate folks as usual pushed the game out too early.
@@theninjamaster67 buddy then game was in progress for longer than gta 5
@@Quloh GTA 5 was a PS3 game homie of course a PS4/5 game is gonna take longer also Rockstar has like infinite money because of Take Two so they can spend as much money as they want to make the dev time shorter they've literally spent like 2 or 3 billion dollars on GTA 6 already a dev like CD Projekt Red who only has 4 games under their belt is not gonna be able to afford that I know it seems like it but not every developer is the same and every game is gonna have a different development time.
I personally believe FF06B5 is CDPR's way of creating a singular universe for all their IP's. But taking it a step further and making it an ARG instance for the players to discover. Rather than take the route like Remedy does, who just puts it all out in the open with some of their titles.
I think it's cool.
While the mystery has come to an end for both Witcher & 2077, there will 100% be more to it in future titles and DLC.
Also, The Watcher is us the player. In case it wasn't obvious enough. Just a little fun 4th wall meta jab to us the player.
No it is Mr Blue Eyes
It's like Lost. They had no idea where they were going, and what they desperately came up with as a "solution" was stupid.
2077 is so under appreciated for how deep & alive the world of Night City is…. It’s the closest thing to a alternate reality any video game has ever accomplished
It’s all based off of books. The lore was not created
The sensors the man set up to scan the area look a lot like a mega scope set up from the Witcher... and we see a clothe less man lying in the Witcher universe, his clothes left behind in the middle of the scope he set up in night city. I think this obviously implies that he was able to travel to the Witcher universe using some time of electromagnetic frequency, similar to Magic in the Witcher universe.
Geralt knew about this man, that's why he hated portals.
Perhaps it means that the upcoming Witcher game will be in another universe, another timeline
Maybe it’s why the dead guy in the Witcher is naked
The only thing that could bring a happy ending (and possibly play after it) would be to find help in a world of magic, since technology cant quite save V from the chip. I've always wondered if they two games "interact" in some way with another, if both are installed and scans for eligible saves. There might be some secret at the start at the cyberpunk game too where he avoids the chip or something. It could even be wait 5 mins for a secret dialogue to appear there too, and convince jackie not to do the raid.
I don’t think that last message is for V from Johnny, I think it’s meant to address the player in a cheeky, in-universe way. It’s from someone we’ve met before and will meet again, someone very powerful in a way that defies the laws of reality as we understand them within the context of their respective games.
I think Gaunter O’Dimm just sent his regards.
it's the same person that calls you before meeting councilman peralez...and I thinks it's a Rogue AI
@@zebhybrid7159 It's probably that dude that sends you on a wild goose chase
The message was "Go Outside!"
I think the programmers wrote that message
One connection to both games is in a cutscene in the Witcher 3 while talking to geralt, Ciri says that she traveled to a land where people had metal in their heads and that geralt wouldn't believe it even if he was there. Unknown about the world until cyberpunk 2077 finally came out and we all realized that what ciri was talking about was Night City and that she did travel either into the future or different dimensions. Which would explain why so many items in cyberpunk are witcher themed (aside from the GLARING fact that they both are CDPR games!) Ciri travels to many worlds but this subtle hint when the witcher game came out was a obvious tie in to CDPR's future installment many years later. This comment probably won't be seen by the creator but I wanted to voice my thoughts and my own deep dive into CDPR and their love for puzzles and having fun with their fans.
Well Cyberpunk was likely already concepted by the end ofnCyberpunks development, it just took soo long for Cp to release that people forgot
Ohh that's a cool tidbit. But again that is after the fact. And again we just instictively want to connect dots. It's very easy to draw conclusions when dealing with something vague.
and if you read witcher books you can actually read about Ciri hopping between universes. Fun fact: Ciri universe hopping caused black plague in our universe 💀💀💀
@@miragemain105 They had to have been talking about it for years, and even spent a while talking about it with Pondsmith before starting work on it, so they knew they were going to make a cyberpunk-type game for a while, I'm sure.
@@DrakubaOther way around, Ciri brought the black death *from* our world *to* that of the Witcher, where it becomes known as the "catriona".
This is beyond intricate. Holy mother of mysteries.
And mind you I kind of glossed over certain steps for the sake of time. This is thousands of hours of effort from the community
I think the phrase "It sees you" is connected to the Militech Cerberus robot that chases you during the ending where you betray So Mi. Maybe something hidden in the level there?
16:06 Grimes - 4AEM was the clue. lol. layers.
I think the ff06b5 ending had something to do with implying breaking the fourth wall, npc becoming aware of us, the player. That maybe the visage the npc caught a glimpse of was us, the player, staring back. spooky thought.
I found a minor mystery. I found a woman in an alley that was acting strangely compared to other NPCs. I scanned for her name, and I googled it. I found a Behance page for someone who designed vending machine assets for the game.
Proof?
Don't forget that a lot of these will just be fun Easter Eggs for the staff. There were a LOT of people involved in making this game, I know I would put a personal touch, a small personal Easter Egg for myself if I was involved in any of the build process. I would pick an NPC and name it after myself. I haven't verified, but I'm pretty sure that all of the devs' names are included in the name pool for 'generic' NPCs. Others might have streets named after them, or similar homages that are fun, but mean nothing to the story or mysteries.
Not saying you didn't find something relevant, though.
Haha, I'm in the early stages of developing a farm sim like stardew Valley and I think half of my current dialogue are Easter eggs -.- probably not the best way to go about things, but I cant help myself!
@@michaeljennejohn8969this made me laugh. I say ALOT of references to things and it kinda makes me sound like I "channel dead crazy people" and I'm guessing the result of your dialog consisting of such a high percentage of easter eggs is going to be similarly incoherent but I hope it turns out great and sometimes in games, that kinda of dialog gets alot of attention and makes people enjoy it more. 😊😊
I'm really confident this isn't actually the end of the FF06B5 mystery. It was supposed to be solvable in the base game, which means that the extra chapter added in the Phantom Liberty update is there partly as a new puzzle for people to get into, and partly to provide clues to the original puzzle. My personal opinion is that it's all pointing to something to unlock in the 'Devil' ending of the game. There are constant references to 'the end' in the new files. The 'War Games' reference could be pointing to the missile war Yorinobu starts during 'Totalimmortal'. The 'event' even shows a big cube, very likely a reference to the puzzle cube V is given during the 'Where is my Mind?' epilogue. There's clearly something up with that whole episode, with the seemingly pointless choices, visual glitches, the weird, unexplained jump scare and the fact it's the only epilogue which has multiple endings of its own. My bet is that there's a secret way to complete 'Where is My Mind' hinted at in the lore dump from the new puzzle.
Or there was never an easter egg there. People just really wanted it to be so, so CDPR kept patching in new things to keep it going. Its simply really good live service.
there was no eqaster egg to begin with.
you're cooking something and I hope someone gets in the kitchen with you on it, this sounds plausible
21:28 The specificity of the Fine Structure Constant is a major component in the "Simulation Theory" of the Universe. Basically the idea that the reality we experience is nothing more than a computer/machine simulation being run from outside of our Universe. Makes sense given the context of Polyhistor's last messages, suggesting that the game and it's players have broken the Fourth Wall for Polyhistor and he realizes he's a character in a video game.
August 3rd... my anniversary. Coincidence? I think not. My wife is one of them, I just know it! 👀
>Rushed Devs accidentally leave a color code on a couple texture
>Gaming community goes crazy trying t figure it out
>Devs think its adorable and give us a cool truck for the effort and passion in their art.
>Suits demand they wedge a witcher 4 tie in to it as well
There solved it for you
That's not how textures work
Oh man, this is a great vid. I wish I had the time to do stuff like solving these mysteries, I'm glad other people did!
You missed the QR code IN the gold cube, you gotta go into photo mode. There's also a LOT involving the silver hand game ingame, the secret levels, etc
That constant being variable is meant to show you a slight variance in which universe you're in, or basically the change would theoretically mean you were finding yourself in a completely different reality if you were given a different number when checking it. It's implying that instead of our world, the games are alternate realities. Very interesting really.
All the games existing as games in each other's worlds combined with all this stuff is basically CDPR saying that their games are alternate realities, not really just games. Polyhistor is jumping into our world, or another world, that's playing cyberpunk. Ciri jumped here and apparently so did yennifer so...well... It all ties together.
Bingo. It's the world folded upon worlds upon worlds. I'd have the exact terrified reaction as Polyhistor if I stumbled upon the fact I was viewed from third person by a watcher who then took notice of your revelation.
@@RicochetForce The third person watcher... is us. 🤯
@@FrozenPantiezzz Yup, it was so overwhelming that he couldn't grasp that he was breaking the 4th wall. That he never quite realized he was in a video game.
I also like that in W3 there's a very similar person who appears to be naked near a recently closed portal.
@@RicochetForce As he was reading the notes I was also thinking the same thing as you - Poly Histor is breaking the 4th wall and realises he's a character in a video game. He says there's a watcher that not only watches him, but everyone and everyone in Night City and the watcher is outside of this, external. The watcher is definitely you, as in the IRL player sat there staring at your monitor or TV screen playing the game. Idk how the video creator missed this and went over his head
On the Yennifer shard, where she says her final wish is to take her ashes to the moon and take them to the tallest peak, I wonder if that's a God of War reference.
Turns out the World Serpent was a QR code
I've had a theory about why Polyhistor saw something different to us. It was a mystery designed for V or for Player 1. If an NPC finds it out they're sent to the dev team who delete the bugged out NPC. Something will end, is ending, has ended. My existence as an NPC.
As the Blackwall AI would say, "You seek a key to a door that does not exist. Typical of your kind"
There is also non-cannonical ending to Witcher book saga in collection of various stories (written by Andrew Spakowski) that could be translated to 'Something ends, something begins' and it is suspiciously similar to the 6 sentence of that message from FF06B5 ending: 'One thing ends, another begins'. One of the novels there describing an alternative ending to Witcher Saga which is Geralt's and Yennefer wedding and involves all of the major characters from the series. It's a longshot at best, but since Ciri can travel between worlds, maybe she is the author of that message from the FF06B5 ending?
Physics nerd here. The FSC is clearly a reference to the Many Worlds interpretation of QM, and because it's different for each instance, I'd guess that this whole thing is in reference to Simulation Theory.
I wonder if "the only answer is not to play" means that the answer can only be found in freshly installed game files that haven't been run yet. Perhaps there are a set of files that self-delete upon starting the game for the first time.
In the Phantom Liberty expansion, go to the Luxor High Wellness Spa travel point if you go to your left through the tunnel and look up there's another massive witcher mural there that I've yet to see decoded. I also went along that level above the mural of the building and heard a creepy laugh and found some iconic stuff. worth investigating
Cyberpunk going harder than Cicada ! xD
Thats what i was thinking
A fun fact, the other statue with this sorta lips mask is (I think) a reference to Run the jewels where in their music video the statue appears at the words "haven't seen sun with the naked eye much so the neon is my god" so yeah there's that
This is so freaking cool, I love when games do this kinda thing!
The only way to win is not to play seems like a reference to all of the endings of Cyberpunk being rather sad. There is no winning in Night City - that seems to kind of be the theme of the franchise (or at least Cyberpunk 2077).
Excellent work 👍
My opinion is that the whole game is meant to leave us with questions and Vs history will probably be a small side quest or even just a shard in cyberpunk 2 that will still leave us with questions.
The CDPR team are geniuses.
CDPR is working on another Cyberpunk and another Witcher. This mystery will continue in the next games.
Its a very niche set of people thatll actually do this.
And only 20 peopler were accepted. So some game designer will do something for these 20 people?
Unlikely but we will see. We also have to think about how people will look at cyberpunk 2 with the bad taste of the poor launch of cyberpunk 1.
If anything, they have also doubled their studios, so i guess it's fair maybe? let's just see what happens lol, hopefully not like what happened in 2020 again
@@AhmadWahelsa
The general populous only remembers the bad launch. They dont, or wont care about cyberpunk 2.
Im not being a downer. Im going to give cyberpunk 2 a try. I liked phantom liberty.
@@SRW_ Yeah but if it launches smoothly, people gonna change their mind anyway, it might also do a "Witcher 3" moment where Cyberpunk Orion become the most popular one and 2077 become sort like "Witcher 1" where it was known for the jankiness but people loved the story
@@AhmadWahelsa
Anythings possible
The I see parallels between the FF0B5 mystery and the quest "Killing in the Name of", and the show West World.
Johnnys dialogue in the quest, "Killing in the name of" is especially peculiar and I couldn't help but feel like players were on a similar Hunt
The cube QR code changes depending on which life path you chose and if then combine all QR codes correctly u get the final one
Both the CDPR devs who create these puzzles and the players who solve them are freaking amazing. Thanks for the breakdown as I would have never been able to figure out any of this myself.
16:00 as a note I'm pretty sure the 4am activation is a reference to the Lizzy Wizzy (actually Grimes) song found in game.
I feel exhausted just watching this video. Nice job putting this together.
Seeing new things since release and discovering even more things in-game this game still reels me back in. I found an easter egg that was a reference to Mad Max and i was blown away... so yeah i def will be looking for even more things now...
Could also be something to do with Rache Bartmoss or an AI made by him, if there's an intelligence trying to break into changing the real world looking at effecting matter with electrical signals and teleporting a guy between timelines could be experiments in getting there
Is it just me, or does the cube resembled the Djinn from the last wish quest in W3, just a digital manifestation?
Could be the reference to having met before.
speaking of dimensional travel it would be all to surprising seeing as ciri came to nightcity when she was jumping portals at the end of witcher 3 so if anything it could have been ciri showing yen and geralt all the different places she saw and for some reason thats the one they chose to stay in
Be cool once the Sandra thing is solved, CDPR releases a free DLC that comes with a huge Nightcorp/Sandra quest line follow-up for the game.
The pink from the FF06B5 is the same pink that’s on the relic chip. Going to the mattress and seeing the cube only happens from a relic malfunction. Makes sense Polyhistor couldn’t see anything. And it also makes sense that Johnny left the message for V as a point that some things have no meaning. He made that point many times in the game.
Would've been so much more fun if the ff06b5 has a connection to Ciri with her dimension warping power. Too bad we only got 1 expansion.
The person in the final message is the same "beings" we met in the minecraft ending. It's the same being we've met at the end of multiple games and ARGs. The developer's philosophy, made sentient.
18:39 scanning devices? i passed out on a mattress and i wake up surrounded by cameras and clothes? I dont need to theorize I need a drink.
What if the world of cyberpunk and the world of vampires are the same world?
In the bastion there is the same sign as on Regis' gloves, which mentions that vampires have a protective system that reacts to their blood and opens the door.
Unseen Elder says that in his cave there is a border between the world of the witcher and the world of vampires, what if there is such a border in the bastion too?
Smarter people than me probably already made the connection, but Polyhistor vanishing and leaving his clothes behind (presumably) is the same thing that happens to the Monk in "Losing my Religion" side quest. There may be a connection there, but eh. I'm just a bystander watching all of this unfold
why didn't V ask the AI using Alt Cunningham's engram to reprogram the nanites to stop converting his brain and reverse some of the damage?
Its Ciri talking to us through the Cube and she freely travels dimensions in Witcher3 she even talks about a world like Night City. She's someone we have met before and we will meet her again in Witcher 4 hopefully. IDK just a thought or maybe Ciri will show up in Night City or already has and we havent found her.
Frelling AMAZING. That's @xLetalis level of connection and detail. Awesome summary!
The only person in Cyberpunk I've seen use the term 'choombatta' was from a shard excerpt from Morgan Blackhand, fascinating!
Lizzy wizzy 4am song was key for me to search the badlans for the mattress
If we reaaaly want to play into time/dimension travel, Geralt (and ciri depending if you count a skin) also appeared in Monster Hunter World aswell
Regarding the FF-06-B5 mystery, honestly I think people were reading way too deeply into it. The statues are clearly meant to be depictions of the in-game Shinto deity of chrome, night, and electricity, known as Denya-jinja. The in-game "Chram Denya Jinja" website talks about a shrine dedicated to this particular kami.
However, fans just wanted there to be something more to it than something so mundane and obvious.
Because of this, CDPR decided to play into fan speculations and update both games with side-content toward that purpose.
This game.. after everything I've done.. if i seen that relic glitch in the desert i would get extreme goosebumps
This level of detail reminds me of Fallout lol The weird and often oddball side quests that lead to secret dialog/lore and secret weapon caches.
After the tie in's with the witcher with the FF06B5 mystery my first idea was that it would have something to do with the next witcher game since that's been announced for a little while now and would be some great promotion for the upcoming game 😂
As it stands, it seems like an AI finding its sentience and realizing it's in a video game. That is why the oriboros is the image and how the cube could say all the different starting messages. The AI realizes it can travel different dimensions ( all CDPR games ) like the characters in the witchers can and hops around leaving more clues for the other AIs trying to find meaning. Polyhister gets "awoken" and sees the player of the game (us) and accidentally travels to the witcher while trying to clarify what he is seeing and either falls off the tower, or kills himself to start the cycle again to maybe return to 2047. What we are seeing in these message is an AI realizing it's in a game and leaving hints for others to awaken. It seems odd to us because we are the ones playing the game it lives in. We are the watchers. The statues could be of the original AI constantly restarting and leaving their mark for each different life they have lived. Hence why they are different sizes and different places.
Could even be the Mr. Blue Eyes AI that awoke first
So It's possible to find that mattress and acquire the monster truck without imputing the codes in the church, you just never see the cube vision. This leads me to believe that the monster truck isn't the prise at the end of the road of the FF06B5, and there's still more layers yet to be uncovered.
Coolest ARG I’ve seen. Kudos to CDPR for so much fan service.
i feel like theres more to this and i really would love to see it explored in the future games. with cdpr's next release witcher 4 im super excited to see what people find.
This reminds me of when Ralphie got his decoder ring in Christmas Story.
I like the number 42 in this mystery, it's a reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - as in the purpose for life is the number 42 - makes no sense, right? Because we're weird for trying to find a purpose to this chaotic mess, when there isn't one...
My schizo databank brain wants this to connect to the Nightcorp (could be any corp) theory that Johnny needed to be freed and V was specifically chosen to be the vessel by everyone around them, Misty having magic pills that she knows works for our very specific weird situation, Brigette choosing someone like Eve for this job, Dex coming back after a long hiatus and choosing 2 rookies, I think theres more I don't remember but I just want it to be true; Theres so many weird points and it seems like everyone had eyes on that raid like FIA terminal on the president's plane and they all knew what happened in that room, maybe the watcher saw all this and warned V through the dream sequence or whatever it is, but whatever this all meant if nothing at all it was still a great experience to live though and I cant wait to see what the new Cyberpunk will have in store for us chooms.
To me it feels like the quiz and response for correct answers might be a bait and switch, but that's probably because its what I would do if including such a quiz in an arg.
I would have the quiz register at least one obvious (obvious meaning more obvious than the real answer, not necessarily an answer that is easy to find) answer as correct, while the real answer would be something pointing to or somehow connected to a shady organization within the setting...
This reminds me of the Cicada levels of elaborate that were posted on the chans. Made by and for those with far too much time on their hands haha. One things for sure, there's a LOT more going on with Cyberpunk than first appears on the surface.
Dang Juicy Juice you've become quite the detective, nice work
Reminds me of the one that I think bungie did? Where at one point there was a cache in the woods as part of the puzzle and a player followed the coords and found it
The whole mystery seems like nothing but a more elaborate version of the Swedenborg quest to me.
You are led on a wild goose chase, only to get mocked at the end for having been made.
@21:30 Spitballing some ideas…
This curved monitor segment probably implies you need a super ultra wide and maybe the number hints at a vertical FOV setting of 72 to capture screenshots of the cube and piece the QR code together.
Someone used the in-game files though, so alright. But…
This screen with the number could have something to do with the way games used to use a method, where there was code at the top or side of games. Maybe it is interpretable with the proper fov and monitor setting.
THat replay to the mystery in the end about apposible lthunbs and the calling an idiot as well as being evolved that is Vintage Rache Bartmoss from the pen and paper game. Met him in the fridge in the junkyard.. and probably have to deal with him in the next cyberpunk game
Planned or not, it’s still such a cool mystery/ concept. Reminds me of classic Assassin’s Creed riddles, puzzles, glyphs etc. etc.
I suspect it's more like a Matrix situation; the worlds of The Witcher and Cyberpunk are elaborate simulations and that's why it's possible to cross between them - sort of like characters in the movie Wreck-It Raplh. In my opinion, the Wargames reference is referring to Night City and the game in general - there is no happy ending. Night City always wins. You're doomed from the moment you take control of V and there's no stopping it... outside of not playing.
I love how the FF06B5 mystery was mostly a 4th wall breaking reference to you playing the game (The Watcher or should I say Witcher???) 😂
I still think there's something to do with the AI's from beyond the blackwall. The control of people's minds/modification of them. And time or dimensional travel.
CDPR put more effort in the ARG than the RPG.
It's not solved. The entire Polyhistor line is an allegory for being off-track, lost in the desert and a warning to "turn back" "trust no one" and "no future" in this path. Even the scan description for the truck you get says you're selling your soul by taking it.
They found a bunch of meaning in random numbers, and it led them nowhere.
They're so far off course that, just like Polyhistor, they're removed from the game.
FF06B5 is solvable from release. It was never supposed to be this giant ARG. They just kept adding to it to sate the puzzle hunters.
People have mentioned the equipment being set up like a mega scope in the Witcher, i think the mattress is there to break Polyhistors fall when he was set to travel back to night city should he appear too high and when he returns to the Witcher universe he falls to his death
what if the scanning eqipment around the mattress after the vissons have ended are actually elctromagnetics and those numbers are the frequencess used to make V see the visions, so he was looking into frequencys thatinteractict with cyberware to see the visions
Wow man that was awesome
For those of you who played the original assassin's Creed games they had those Animus secrets and mysterious stuff you could discover.
This reminded me of those Animus secrets.
i really wish they built upon that stuff instead of cutting it out and making it what it is today.
But this stuff blows my mind like wait what? Talk about some crazy secrets. 🤯
That last message made me literally scream the first time i saw it.
Maybe when it says not to play it’s talking about how there is no end to the game where v survives and is happy and how it’s technically never ending since it brings you back to the save file before you do the last mission.
The distorted image during the fine-structure-constant image, looks kind of similar to the old cable network scrambling of video.
in that method the lines are shifted horizontally seemingly randomly. (it is a rotating code for each frame)
24:25 u can also see the picture of the thing of the belt on the statue
The final message from the qr code kind of says it all. I suspect that the FF code "mystery" was just meant originally to be a minor easter egg in plain sight. However, because fans were so eager for it to be a deeper mystery and kept hounding CPR regarding the mystery, they decided to actually add a mystery to the game for people to solve. The final message as it reads is basically saying as much.
Let's break down the final message. "You've been looking long enough. You can stop now. It's over...or is it? No, really-it is." These seeming statements aren't random.
"One thing ends another begins, Except nothing is beginning or ending-that's just your gonk mammal brain trying to make sense of your world."
This is a statement to the nature of video games, starting restarting, and you as the player, trying to make sense of the game world.
"To create order, To control. To delay the inevitable realization you're nothing. We're nothing."
This is again referencing playing video games, when you play the game you create order through your act of playing the game, you control the character, you become engrossed by the fictionaal world to escape your own reality. In a grander sense, people who seek out these mysteries in games, while fun, do so to extend that game beyond its real limits.
"Mathematics, physics, chemistry...in the grand scheme of things tools to acquire power." In a sense, this is correct, video games like CP2077 give control over players to the game's creators, through mathematics, game physics, and a very vague sense "chemistry".
"hardly more advanced than the first rock we grabbed to bash each other's skulls". This is an interesting statement, in a weird sense this is referencing the countless number of players who were "bashing their skulls" against the wall/keyboard/desk trying to solve the mystery. In another it's a statement over violence, is there really much difference in the mentality needed to play CP2077, killing the myriad of enemies with virtual weapons, and IRL violence? No.
But the most interesting line in all of this is as follows: "And for all you seeker's and fools finding patterns where there are none, creating order out of chaos, here's a little secret for you-this isn't the first time we've met and it won't be the last."
This statement is very clear, the FF code was likely nothing more than something the game designers put in the game to mess with people and never intended it to be more than that. However, people found "patterns where there are none", trying to rationalize the code into being something more than it was intended to be. Furthermore, the game designers are hinting that such codes and seemingly esoteric fair will continue to pop up in their games.
So this goes entirely against your theory here, but the Witcher 3 base game epilogue mission is called something like "one thing ends, another begins", potential clue?
God talking to us through CDPR games confirmed.
Idk. Fool's is an occult reference. To the Fool. With the hope being becoming a "wise" fool. With all the Arcana being in game. I doubt this mundane solution you presented is truth.
Has anyone ever tried triangulating the facing directions of all the statues that show the FF code? Maybe something else or if they lead to alot of the found clues spots
Well now I want to try.
So something to know about Witcher, interdimensional travel is a thing and they show that in the game, but in the books TIME TRAVEL is also a thing, at least for Ciri. At one point she actually travels to the future, that future being our time/world, where she ends up in a landfill and is disgusted by what she sees. So the second mystery could be the devs linking Cyberpunk to be canonical to the Witcher universe. Just way in the future.
There's actually a line of dialogue in W3 where she's telling Geralt about the worlds she's visited and in one of them "people had metal in their heads, they used megascope like devices to wage war from a distance and everyone had a personal flying ship" which sounds a lot like Cyberpunk.
One mystery that has been forgotten is where can a certain Ashen Haired Girl be found in Cyberpunk 2077?
I think The Watchers are the developers. The QR code note from the cube is by the developers and meant for V, not necessarily the players. Polyhistors clothes was on the floor and seemed like he was…deleted because he was just that…deleted. The developers simply clicked delete on his character (or transferred to The Witcher 3).
For the FF06B5 mystery, I'd suggest checking out the philosopher Alan Watts. If what was laid here is the mystery solved in its entirety, listening to some Alan Watts can shed light on what CP2077 was trying to do here. Namely, the master and the student, and the master trying to get the student to realize a certain thing...
That’s Zen Buddhism in a nutshell.
Only I shouldn’t have told you outright. I should have asked thought provoking questions until you realised it yourself.
@@TwoLeftThumbs Yeah, I already knew it was Zen Buddhism. But I think I might be understanding your comment not totally correctly.
@@ShogunOrta I was just saying that a Zen Master wouldn’t tell you something directly. They’d tell you a koan that would hint at the solution and let you work it out.
It was just a little joke.
