Ok so the “Bonelord is Hitler” thing is confirmed untrue. It’s just a theory that’s spread around a bit. It’s admittedly an interesting theory, but the Bonelord’s meant to be more of a representation of the OLD_DATA and some kind of “greater evil”

I got the impression that the OLD_DATA is some inherently corruptive code that was supposed to have infected/inspired Hitler. Like its a set of information that will turn anyone or anything that ponders it too long into a monster. Think cognitohazards in SCP foundation lore. Perhaps the real blessing is that the characters in the game corrupted by the data have no influence on the real world, and everyone influenced by the game containing it has wound up dead. I mean, Luke was starting to slip towards the end, and perhaps it was, well, not such a bad thing that he didn't live long after seeing it.

It's hard for me to see the Bonelord as "Evil" per se. In this particular instance, he is moreso a keeper, somebody who knows more about the OLD_DATA than anyone else, but it's still just a glimpse behind the veil, since, at this point, the true content of the OLD_DATA is unknowable

Additionally, the password to Leshy’s safe is 273. There has to be something way more significant with this number, right? Also if you use the Pony Island exe file in the Archivist fight, the Archivist says something like “That poor soul,” probably referencing Hopeless Soul. I honestly don’t know if this is just an easter egg or if there’s much more to this. Maybe the Hopeless Soul is an existing/important character in Inscryption, especially considering Rebecca is in both Inscryption and The Hex?

There is something i dont understand about this solution. During the ARG everyone was forbidden from datamining until a set date so the answers could be found the intended way.

So i dont know how people were supossed to find these numbers without extracting any of the textures .

Something just clicked for me, not sure if it's been realized by someone else, probably has. There is a fifth scribe, the mycologist. And the locations of these numbers confirm it, there is one on the floor of every scribe's game, and also one on the floor of the mycologists room. But wait, there;s more! The mycologist has the power to create cards, but just like with the other scribes, in order to create a card something must be sacrificed. It just so happens that they sacrifice other cards to create their cards. They likely have their own implement that they use to do this, that we simply never see. Of course, there is another detail. Think about where the numbers are placed. You might think they could all appear in the second act, on the floors of all their respective rooms, but I think there is a reason this is not the case. The numbers only appear on the floors of their rooms when they are the ones in control of the game, when they are the ones who have shaped it's mechanics to their liking. Leffy is of course at the start, P03 is in the third act, and the other two scribes are when they have their last hurrah before they are deleted. And, of course, the mycologist's shows up in the second act, and it is the ONLY one to show up in the second act, because that is the version of the game where they have control of the form of the game. Think about it, they're whole thing is combination, of merging, and so the world where they have control is one where all the scribes cards and mechanics are mashed together and forced to cooperate. Of course, they don't seem to be inclined to interact with the player, or all that concerned that they will lose control of the game; more focused on researching the OLD_DATA than any of the petty machinations of the other scribes.
@xenathcytrin202
@xenathcytrin202 2 жыл бұрын
Less certain about this bit of speculation, but perhaps the mycologist was not originally part of the game. They aren't included in the lore, although if the original theory is true then that lore that plays at act 2 could be somewhat fabricated. Perhaps originally the mycologist was a player avatar, or maybe even two or more of them. After all, in act 1 there is a pile of bodies in leshy's back room of all the previous player avatars, and considering how other game characters and objects ave the tendency to gain some form of sentience from the OLD_DATA it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for the player avatar to as well; Stitching themselves to another version of themselves, or perhaps some other entity entirely. I wonder if it would be possible to try to replace the mycologist at the end of act 2. Seems unlikely they would allow it, and even if they did, at that point M03 already has the corrupted card. Edit: Now that I think about it, if there were a way to do this, probably the most likely outcome is that they would concede, and then proceed to stitch you into themselves.

Does seem kinda unlikely tho if im honest.

Wait... Ok, I'm probably digging deeper than anything intended, but the numbers on the scribes floor number 1-4. Magnificus is 1, Leshy is 2, P03 is... 3, and Grimora is 4. AND THEN the mycologist is 7. First thing I wonder is where are numbers 5 and 6. Second thing I wonder, is what if you were to somehow beat the scribes, in that order? Normally it'd be impossible, since the bridge is down until you beat at least one scribe, meaning you cant start with Magnificus, but maybe there is a way to go about it without hacks, and of course if there isn't... then hacks.

I don’t want to sound rude, but I don’t think here would be the appropriate place for the theory. (Post it on Reddit or Discord instead) My two cents are that it’s only a coincidence. Each number is from each respective act -- so Act 1, Act 3, and the Finale’s part HAS TO be where the scribes have control of the form of the game. Only Act 2 doesn’t have a clear sign of who’s in control, and I don’t think anyone is supposed to be in control. The fact that ‘all scribes are mashed’ is to me just that it’s the game were restored back to the original state (new game), where the scribes are designed to coexist and cooperate, not because the mycologist forced them to. I think that the mycologist ‘just so happens’ to be featured in the F!OOR solution, just a coincident. Furthermore, I think the mycologist doesn’t fit the other scribes. The mycologist doesn’t make cards by itself but fuses cards, whereas the other scribes can create cards without other cards. About the numbers being the order to defeat each scribe, I don’t think a random part of the ARG would mean much when the ARG is supposed to be solved. (but who knows, I guess)

Your style of making videos made it a fun ride, hearing your process even incl. mistakes makes it feel like I'm discovering everything at the same pace :-D but now I just wanna go on a deep dive through all of the game's assets hahaha

Yeah... I definitely think someone else in on the ARG in the Dev team did the roof thing on purpose cause this normal map stuff is extra stupid. If it was actually see-able in game it'd be cool, but making this shit so god awful small that EVEN WHEN DATA-MINING, you have an abysmal time looking for them?! Let alone with how you have to find 5 numbers amongst x amount of Floor textures + normal maps!!! This ARG was cool and fun up until this "intended" solution came to light.

This is absolutely insane. I think without the initial clue of looking into the texture's normal maps, it would've been downright impossible, or at least would have taken years. I actually like the roof solution better, because even though it's goofy and far fetched, there's a thought process behind solving it (the post it, mirroring the word, etc), while this solution feels more like brute force data mining that you'd be extremely lucky to find in the wild... Still very cool though

I just noticed, but it might be stretching things too far, is that even in axt 2 the roof cabin is a accidental clue, because: 273 are each in the "main parts" of the story, and they are seperated from the 4 1 on Lashy's cabin, as the remaining numbers are in the great transcendance.

Honestly I legit thought that the holes made souch sense. You even have ground saying 273 and so continuing from the roof finishes the code. And f!oor to roo!f made even more sense when it goes from the ground to the roof. The fact that it was micro numbers in floor textures is both a surprising coincidence and kinda deflating. Cause the roof felt more clever than scrubbing the floors to find a number you couldn't find without pulling the textures.
@redundantqwail9088

honestly, the floor puzzle requires too many layers of modding, data mining, and scouring obscure files to find. Even if it's a coincidence, the roof is a better puzzle solution than the normal map floor thing.

I think the hidden numbers in the floor textures might be a monitor/colour thing? As soon as you selected the right color, they were very obvious on my screen, even the one that you said was nearly invisible. Also, yes on making more ARG videos. I think some of those are really cool, and it's hard to find an 'after the facts' video summarizing everything. I also like how you show how to actually test out and find things in this video and the previous one. You could have just showed screenshots of the floor images and said 'hidden in the floor textures you found 4 numbers: look at these four images". Perhaps a full set of videos for a game, first playing it the "normal" way, then one about the secrets in the game, then one about the ARG once people have solved it. I liked playing Inscryption, and found some of the easier secrets, but being able to watch all the other cool things, makes me appreciate the game much more!

The coincidence is even more insane, because if that that note says mirror and rorrim, that could not only hint at reversing f!oor, but interpreting floor and roof in that exact order, which corilates directly with how the floor numbers are on the left and the roof numbers are on the right for left->right reading.
