The unfound secret (HELP!)

[Barteh]

So according to developer Daniel Mullins there’s another secret that has been discussed little to not at all. I’ve been trying to figure out this secret, but I’ve hit a wall and figured that sharing everything I’ve found would be the best solution.

Let’s start:

In act 1, in the advanced settings, security options there’s the following clue:

http://puu.sh/mnIOL/efb62d4d8b.jpg

The first line “@#&#(!#)(@” has me stumped. I have no clue what this could be converted to. If anyone can figure that out, that’d be great.

The binary under it, if all put in order and translated to ASCII spells out “audiotopright”, so let’s go to the audio options and click in the top right.

This plays an audio file; I have recorded it here:

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0SOEA1KxkmC

“His father pure evil”. A phrase found elsewhere in the game. However, the pronounciation seems off somehow. Usually this indicates that the sound has to be reversed, so I did that:

http://vocaroo.com/i/s0JWU6gtBXrL

I’m not sure what to make of this. The closest thing I can hear is “a beeper perhaps”. If anyone else hears something that makes more sense, that’d help.

Next, on the guest profile, there’s a HELP.txt file with multiple layers of text.

http://puu.sh/mnJ4f/2b47540daa.jpg

The text about being trapped is likely not significant; the flipped text (“I AM LEVEL 781092” and “KILL ME”) seem more relevant; though I’m not sure how. There’s another layer of text behind all the corruption which is impossible to read for me. Maybe there’s a way to remove the corruption?
On the Corrupted profile, there’s some very dark flipped text at the top. Flipping it back shows us…

Same thing as the audio file. It can also be found on the Act 3 hopelessoul profile in the bottom right:

http://puu.sh/mnJFL/e435883888.png

Same phrase again. What does it mean?

That’s all I have for now. Have you seen anything out of place? Anything could be a hint.

baphomet gave you the only clue you need.

find the RIGHT gate to jerusalem. open it. it's easy.

you've seen the gate, probably more than once. how could you not? It's huge!

I looked into what is beyond the wrong gate

I know I'm very late on this but how do I get into the registry keys for this game?

[Graineag]

Look through the comments, i think i can recall seeing it here.

[Yukeh]

blaster the easiest way would probably be to use cheat engine. Google registry editing with cheat engine. (Or simply edit it the old-school way - use regedit in windows run.)

Beelzebub music ending really sounds like there's something hidden, I've checked the spectrum using Audacity, but with no success... still trying though...

Yeah. I had another look at that file (thanks faithnomoreke) - it feels like there's something in there, but I might just be finding patterns in static :|

See the screenshots here - http://imgur.com/a/m1dbg - I see the possibility of a face, but more strongly, a numeric code and / or text? Does this make sense to anybody? It seems like *something* has been done to this audio file to make the horizontal and vertical lines stand out.

I can make out a few letters f.c and t.o.

OK, so I popped it into a lot of puzzle and cryptogram solvers.
I can't find any that accept a "key" nor do I know how to interpret these results really. from here:
http://www.wordplays.com/cryptogram
I got this:
STEADFAST001S.DTF:.

Is that meaningful at all? This was the only one that spit out a word.

*snip*

I doubt this will be of any use, pretty much anything useful has been found, but it instantly sprung to mind when I read the 'STEADFAST' part and would nag at me if I didn't mention it in case there was anything to it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Steadfast_Tin_Soldier

As noted on the article ' "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" is the first tale Andersen wrote that has neither a literary model nor a folk tale source.' so the chances are it's only springing to mind as it was a childhood favourite rather than any relation at all, but perhaps there is something in the Adaptations section, or other references from future 'nods' to the original that may not stand out to me, that lead back to something of the key times, points and themes.
(That is of course, if it's relevant in the first place.)

It first sprung to mind not only due to it's familiarity, but 'tin soldier' i.e. our armoured crusader.
Also, the theme of being cast into fire (the hell themes), and how the soldier has to be cut out of a fish (Jonah and the Whale) (Purging/biblical themes) , the tin soldier put in a boat and must pay a toll to pass (the boat journey you have to use your coin for) I am aware of the reference to Charon for the last one, but perhaps if the tin soldier story is relevant, it's pointing to another clue rather than giving answers. There are a couple of other things, but I'm trying to keep this short due to feeling pretty sure it fits but it's not what was meant. (Much like how 'backronyms' are formed :p)

I don't know, reading back on this I cringe as it sounds dumb compared to everyone else's and it's probably just an overtired 'ooh, that fits...' moment.
Uh... if it's useless and needs a response to write it off to save others time instead of just ignoring it, please just rip the plaster/band-aid off in one go with something brusque like 'Irrelevant' lol ;)

i have found the iamerror screen and beur as for daemon beur i have no idea how to tell asmodius about him without getting killed also from the clues that the @ demon gives you theodore could be a muslim crusader who layed seige to jerusalem but thats just a theory a completly speculated theory also those codes that the game says be a kind soul just take one could be steam codes

Another one with "FATHER"

"Father will never be proud"

This is something that I find interesting, because that was a statement made when "Satan" (Or I guess it's now son of satan/antichrist based on the registry findings) threw a hissy about you hacking his game. So is he trying to impress his father? I find that strange seeing as Hopeless Soul (which again, according to the registry findings, turns out to also be son of satan/antichrist) is the one who provided assistance to get you to hack the game.

This gives me two possible theories:
1. The Antichrist has a personality disorder (lol)
2. The Antichrist is split into multiple entities, much like the "trinity" between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in Christian beliefs...

...eh, something about that doesn't sound right, but I don't know what it is.

What I dont get is that I have the feeling of two stories overlapping with one another.
One is the son of lucifer (=helpless sould/lucifer In-game) trying to make you delete pony island to release them.
The second that pony island is some pergetory for theodore who died in his crusade to jeruzalem.

But I cant seem to find a overlap for the stories.

Well when one breaks the forth wall and the other doesn't, that does make it pretty challenging, except that Jesse Cox theorized the whole story with Theodore was just something to try to distract from the whole "freeing satan" thing.

[KachowKid77]

When it says "His father, pure evil" I think it refers to the father as being Satan maybe, in the bible Satan was an angel that fell from heaven and brought other demons with him as rebellion, I think it may be referring to the son of Satan, or some other large demon, maybe Lucifer?

I might have an explenation for his father.

Satan is, as most of us know, Lucifer, the fallen Angel. He was one of the most powerful creatures God has ever created, but that wasn't enough for him, he wanted to rule heaven, BE god. That was his sin and this is why god banished him from heaven. My guess is that after some time he felt sorry for what he did and tried to make his father proud, but his videogames are so bad noone want to play them without being forced to. Just look at his reaction when you unlock the ponywings by beating the level 100 times, he is so proud of himself, and so happy, because noone has shown him this apretiation by then. Since his father still doesn't allow him in heaven he must be very mad, which is why he refers to him as pure evil, because he doesnt understand how god, who is supposed to be all forgiving and allmighty, would abbandon his own creation after something, in Lucifers eyes, minor like this.

I still have some open Questions:

Who is the false prophet? H0peles$0ul, because he convinced the player to do something that wasn't right in the daemons gods (Satan) eyes?

Is H0peles$oul the actual evil? A hopeless soul in christianity is someone so bad that they can't be led back to the path of the good.

Is it important who these Daemons are and do? Because Belzebub is just another name for Satan, which would still make Lucifer the last boss tho...


I hope what I said wasnt total trash...
Have a good day!

wow that was long but good but was it worth typing

[Xandrite]

So I brought some of this stuff up in this game's reddit, but nothing seems to have come of it, so I'll post it agin here:

In Act 3 there are several versions of pony island, one of which is text based.

If you choose to view the credits of this game it says something along the lines of, "You're amazed by the people who worked on this game, but one name cathes your eye."

Now, the credits of Act 1 pony island go by REALLY fastm but if you slow it down, you'll see that all of the 'devs' are actually infamous people from history (Ex:Hitler, Stalin, Osama Bin Laden, etc.)

Now, I don't have the knowledge/ability to slow it down frame by frame, but maybe someone could check each of the names...?


Also, I feel like I should mention the hidden deamon in the glitched out version of adventure mode in Act 2...

We all pretty much know of the hidden deamon, but he doesnt do mch. you can tell ASMODEUS.EXE his name and you'll get an extra line of dialogue, thats it. I can try to do that, but there will most likely be no hidden clues, since I am sure someone found that already.

How do i get the achievment called "The Full Truth" ? do i have to start a new game and complete it and then ask the demons those questions? i can´t get the demons to offer me to ask the following question: "how did i get here" . can someone send me instructions or a discussion that features the answer for getting the achievment?

thanks in advance

-Rainy

Its quite easy: there are three Deamons that will answer questions. You can just rush to Act 2 part 1 And ask all the questions you can, there is a full description (I believe) in the 'Achievement and Secrets' Guide for this game.

Thank You. someone told me the 1st demon is going to answere all but i never tried the second demon to answere it. do i have to play the game a second time? or can i do it with my corrent savegame (1st playthrough)?

You should probably just play through and then use the act select
