{{Zuntti-hint}} On 15/01/2018 at 14:18 UTC, Zuntti posted this image in the #spoilers channel of the INFRA discord server. The image's filename is "Truth.png". (https://discord.com/channels/291497857725366272/361886463425642496/402448823122788352)<gallery>
File:Truth.png|Image of the coded notes found in the [[Wasteland]] map, with heavy red colour correction applied.
File:Truth brighter.jpg|Brightened image
</gallery>In both images, the green text <code>COR_ORD_1_BOD_MES_2_COM_QUE_3_CON_ANS_4_WAS_?_5_PAT_?</code> can be seen. The "correct order" is:
 
#The [[Body message]]
#The question at the [[Bunker computer code]]
#An answer at some unknown place
#The truth at the [[Wasteland notes]]
#Fully unknown
 
On the first image, the text <code>1. BUN_BREAKER_CEN_CONTROL_VI_OFFICE_RE_SNW</code> can be seen, and on the second image, the text <code>4. What are you looking for? The right Question? The right Answer? The Right person?</code> can be seen.
 
*The first text refers to the [[Body message]] and where some codes can be found. See the article for what has been solved.
*The second text refers to the [[Wasteland]] notes and gives a generic instruction what to do to solve it.
 
=== Hints ===
{{Zuntti-hint}} On 27/10/2017 at (?), Zuntti posted this image in the #somewhat-off-topic channel of the INFRA discord server. The image's filename is "retupmo_reknu_srette_tsri.png". (https://discord.com/channels/291497857725366272/308341591683366913/373560426275012619)

This is an image of the breaker panels in the transformer room just outside the bunker blast doors. The filename of the image is backwards, not Finnish, and says  "first letters bunker computer" which gives a clue to read the first letter of each word on the [[bunker computer code]] word grid.

This is a list of unsolved puzzles that are being worked on currently.  
This is a list of unsolved puzzles that are being worked on currently.  
*'''[[Wasteland notes]]''' - All of the notes have been solved and "Truth" has been found but the next step is unknown. This is the most important clue we have to solve at the moment.
**Only hint we have for the next step is "5_PAT_?" which could mean a path or a pattern.


*'''[[Body message]]''' - There are still few missing/guessed words that needs to be found/confirmed.

This is a list of the discovered codes in INFRA in chronological order of discovery.

==="Correct order"===
These are the codes in the "correct order" - the order mentioned in Zuntti's clues, likely the order we need to solve the ARG in.
*1: [[Body message]]
*2: [[Bunker computer code]] ("Computer question")
*3: [[Reactor lights code]] ("Control answer")
*4: [[Wasteland notes]] ("Wasteland ???")
*5: [[Elo hideout symbols]] ("PAT_???")

#The [[Body message]]
== Additional Clues ==
#The question at the [[Bunker computer code]]
Over time, several codes have been posted by Oskutin and Zuntti on the Discord server, but it's not confirmed whether these have anything to do with the ARG or if they are just noise.
#An answer at some unknown place
#The truth at the [[Wasteland notes]]
#Fully unknown

This image teased the addition of the Deekula tenement in Open Sewer, which added a scene in which the player's character talks with the body of "Jacob Cooper", the image filename may still have relevance.

===="Look up at ceilings"====


Oskutin has given multiple clues, perhaps forwarded from Zuntti, about looking up at ceilings to find data in multiple maps (from their map geometry).

===Texture on one of the non-interactive cabinets/panels===

Oskutin said these, after discussing what could be written on the wooden boxes in the Villa? (No idea if related but context might be helpful?)

Probably should check every texture and model for this?

  37DB 5069 64F8 6C 3076A3 1 A-XB2
How to decode: Remove <code>-XB2</code>, remove spaces, and divide the resuling hex value by <code>0xB2</code>, then use the ASCII values of the resulting nybbles (Thanks Oskutin?). The decoded string is <code>PUNAINENTU</code>.

NOTE: Oskutin said in Loiste Discord server that we should not waste time trying to solve this.


''"Punainen tupa" is Finnish and means "red cottage". There exists an instagram account @punainentu:'' https://www.instagram.com/punainentu/.

* One other possibility is that it's an incomplete version of "punainen turska" (red cod), as this is the solution to the binary code present in <code>sign_07_skin10.vtf</code>.

Invert the bits, then convert to ASCII
Invert the bits, then convert to ASCII. Every word is separated by a line break (ASCII <code>0x0A</code>), but every line break is missing a leading "1" in the encoded message.
