Secret in the Sea map

What's behind that "loose" tile?

The tile

Under the middle light near the top of the Sea map there appears to be a tile with a darker shade of gray.


Use a nuke, Detached Ray Cannon or something to get the tile loose. By zooming into the hole in the wall, you can see some text.

Edit: It is possible to just use "Drag" to pull the tile


There seems to be red, green and blue text layered over each other. With an editor like GIMP, just darken the blue and red channels then the text is clearly visible. The text is a public Discord invite: GQHf2qSa2Z.

The text in the Discord

From the previous section, there was a Discord invite that was hidden behind the wall.

The Discord guild (server, group, whatever), just has one channel with one message, which is an PNG image encoded in Base64:

To decode the above text, look for an online Base64 decoder that can display an image or the base64 utility if you are on Linux/BSD.


The resulting PNG image is a QR code that links back to a file on Studio Minus's website, called blauwdruk.wav

Sound file

When I listened to the file, called blauwdruk.wav, it did not seem to be an SSTV image encoding which, for example, was used for the radio Easter eggs in Portal. But it is an image that is viewed in a "spectrogram". A similar method used at the end of the Disc 11 track from Minecraft.

Another open source software used here, Audacity, has a built-in spectrogram feature that is in the drop-down menu that is the name of the file.





This image is the blueprint on building the "Pootvormer" which is the contraption that spawns the portal that leads to the secret "Uncharted Territory" map that gives you the achievement.


Edit - March 25, 2023: By default, using a "Pootvormer" from the workshop will not work as serialization (Copy/Paste, Upload, etc.) would set the "unfit" field on Tesla Coils to "true", which will have the contraption not able to spawn a portal. Though, the "unfit" field on each Tesla Coil can be set to "false" using this mod which would allow the pasted "Pootvormer" to spawn a portal.

heres a new thing you can test, the only hint im giving you is this: tower tv, abyss corner.

[tm103]

pootvormer only works if you build it without using search, or using copy and paste. Workshop versions dont work

[TheGreyGuy]

you can just pull it with your mouse lol
