Wasteland notes

Revision as of 22:47, 15 June 2021 by Unknown user (talk) (fix transcription)

The coded notes are a series of notes found in a small underground shelter in Wasteland.

They are found taped all over a wall, arranged vaguely like a pair of wings. Below the table next to the wall is a white Mörkö mask model with a "dirty" skin.

  • There is T.50=P which doesn't fit into the key table, but 0x50 is the ASCII code for P.

Hints

  Zuntti said we have to use everything we know already for this.

Solution

Main transcription (PLEASE use a widescreen application so the text doesn't get shoved to other lines) using the following 🔑 encoding table (unreferenced characters are marked bold or replaced with underscores, depending on whether they're known or not):

      1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
A is "OTHERSIDE"          |         |           (Answer)
R is "ALBERTHARTMAN"      |         |           (Right person)
Q is "WHATCONNECTSALLTHESE"         |           (Question)

  Note the typo in the note in column 2, row 4, where T.36 resolves to "R", but should be T.38=V. Also, the note in column 3, row 3 contains the words "black word", which might be another typo of "black world".

This is an image of the raw, extracted texture.

 

This is an image of the model.

Additional Symbols

  • The map itself has several symbols on the terrain that it that can be seen on the wasteland notes and possibly Elo hideout symbols.

  • The 'mushroom world' in Open Sewer has a symbol on the ground that is similar to the markings on the notes and the map.

  • This is an image of the wasteland notes model. Note how they're arranged similar to the "Raven" logo.

  • The same model with only the decrypted texts.
