Dead Space 2

[Atreides]

can you list where you found all 5?

and chances are you just pause and input the code

[greatandfoolish]

they are all in chapter 6, from the start of the chapter:

1. "warrior" ^V<>

laundry room, to the right of the door which leads to the seeker rifle schematic

2. "slideshow" <>^V

your post says you know about this one

3. "stross dont follow" ^V<> (my notes say mirrored which i think means the unitologist script was written right to left, so i copied the code as i thought would be correct)

in the transitioning hallway between elevators where stross messages you and issac says "stross dont follow hes not really there" the message is on the wall...somewhere lol. (ok so my notations are useful only to me)

4. "on a bench" ^V<>

this one is on a bench. from the shop, it is back up the hallway, and to the left, that bench right there

5. "betty's" ^V<>

i think this is the other one you found, but i didnt understand your description. hallway with the exploding ball things, near the end, in an indent in the wall.

[Atreides]

damn so you could probably guess if you knew where in the sequence the last one was. Is the first one really close to the start of the chapter?

[greatandfoolish]

if you want to help me, take a look at all the scribbling around each invisible text, and write it down

im having one of those moments where im seeing patterns in nothing at all, but theres text that repeats itself around each invisible writing, with the exclusion of one, which differs for each

im under the assumption that theyre not in order, because if they were it would be a grand total of 2 guess attempts to get the clue, considering how much ive gotten

the area im thinking is the final clue to their order is the wall opposite of the shop, of ch 6

oops didnt answer your question lol

yea its in the very next room, the laundry room

[Atreides]

the graphic says that they have to be entered in order, the text makes it seem like it's the order you find it in. it'd take you more than 2 attempts if the code you were missing was somewhere in the middle, instead of at the end.

[greatandfoolish]

fair point, in any case, the betty's clue is the last time we'd see it int he chapter, the only room that ive found to be completely devoid of hidden text is the large open plaza area, it'd be the first place i want to re visit

[greatandfoolish]

i found it, but im still fucked on order, after taking a look at each message they all have the order of y,x so i may have found all the clues but i have no fucking idea where the actual clue is because obviously the answer isnt yxyxyxyxyxyx

the"final" clue is in the little girls bathroom, next to the pink sticker of an alien face and the other sticker of issac in his suit

[Atreides]

uh... what's the 4 arrows for the last clue?

I think your order might be off for some of them, here's what I got for your list above:
1. "warrior" ^V<> (YX)
2. "slideshow" <>^V (XY)
3. "stross dont follow" ^V<> (YX)
4. "on a bench" ^V<> (YX)
5. "betty's" ^V<> (YX)

That means the order should look more like YXXYYXYXYX and not just alternating. Where in the level does the last set of arrows come up?

i'd like you to physically look at each text in the game and tell me what you think, i assume you can read the unitology script so youll be able to tell if its backwards or upside down

i found the last clue out of order, its very close to the "slideshow" text, in the bathroom of the girl's room, on the drawers below the bathroom mirror, lets call it "bathroom"

[Atreides]

yea was the code from the bathroom?

[greatandfoolish]

fuck sorry, lol, its supposed to be ^V<>, wasnt reversed or mirrored or anything, although the flavor text that comes with it was missing....just the helmet image was there

[Atreides]

well that's definitely it then, it just has to be put in the correct order, but I am not too sure what that should be. I don't have a save near chapter 6 currently but I'll try to rush there and figure out the order they appear, but if that's not the correct order I really have no idea lol

[greatandfoolish]

i kinda want kyo to give us some answers but im not sure if he would be allowed to say, or if he even knows

[Atreides]

he doesnt know i already asked lol

[Callisto]

I'm assuming this is going to be some sort of node or cash bonanza cheat like in DS1, but it'd be cool if it unlocks something unique instead.

[greatandfoolish]

someone has to have a save file in chapter 6 so they can double check what ive found, the waiting part sucks

also the not getting the glory of the discovery

[Callisto]

I could plow through to it in like 2-2.5 hours with the hand cannon but still working on DS1

well shit for that matter so can you, you beat hardcore too

[Souj]

I'm on chapter 5 or 6, can't remember which, but I won't be playing until maybe tomorrow morning. Let me know where to look and if I play tomorrow I can check. If I haven't passed it already

[greatandfoolish]

lol, once i beat hardcore and i saw atreides post about the hidden messages i started another game with the handcannon so i could take my sweet ass time but i still made it to chapter 6 in 90 min

ive found sets of arrows in other spots before chapter 6, but the only chapter with magic marker messages is chapter 6, im all the way to chapter 10 now before i saw any unitologist writing again

and youll have to read my posts to get a rough location of where they are, im not so great with the describing of the stuff with the words, they get stuck in my mouth and then i talks no good

[Callisto]

if it's anything like DS1's deal there may be more than one code to begin with, there may be like 3-5, on different chapters
