The hunters noticed a pattern in these messages, including the word "burrow" and other words lacking a letter o.
Hunter Flex4d quickly recognized that the "Trigant" mention in Rob's message was a reference to Trigant Burrow. Hunter Serpenger noticed the peculiar filename, "clue_93." Hunter Fish recognized that the format of this clue would be a custom URL with the form "https://www.reachthefinals.com/b-" and mentioned that "my first instinct was .com/burrow." A few hours later, hunter Resk entered the correct URL, "https://www.reachthefinals.com/burrw" and posted the link for the rest of the hunters.
“Congratulation, you found your first diamond clue in this EE-hunt.!
(Diamond clues are rare and pretty hard to find so you should be proud, I think this one was originally activated late November last year... ._.)”Rob
The string "YMF292" is hidden among the rings in frames 1-6. This is a reference to the YMF292 chip that is used in Sega Saturn and Sega Titan consoles.
In January 2024, Rob sent a new message in reference to the burrw gif, hinting that more can be found in it.
“Almost forgot about that one, still only solved to 50%… ._.”Rob
In February, Rob shared a snippet from a higher quality version of the gif with the number 7 in the center, along with a message suggesting that the alternate version could be found somewhere.
“ohh, have you only found the lowres gif... I wonder where the higres is...”Rob
