Hello snackers and frens!

Welcome to the Filian ARG Living document! This is an ongoing informational project intended to solve the mysteries/puzzles related to the Filian ARG.

A very special thank you to our contributors & document editors for making this project what it is. And an extra special thanks to the mods, as always, for keeping communities safe and healthy.

A general explanation of how to use these Docs:

• A great starting place for newcomers is the Current Threads and/or FAQs tabs
• We try to keep it organized in {platform}/{location}/{puzzle||theory||analysis}

• You can see more details on our Organization Method.
  

Quick Note

Hey, Just Call Me ‘L’ here (the document owner). With everything disappearing on May 1st, 2026 (twitter profile, various social banners, etc), the idea of the Snackers HQ Discord disappearing has lowkey become a real, half-hypothetical possibility.

With this in mind, I have made a dedicated server for the Filian ARG!! Note that quite a bit of things might be unfinished and a little messy, please bear with it 😅

[when in doubt, rely on the main Filian server / “Snackers HQ” for the most up-to-date info]

...as of May 8th, 2026, it looks like the main server has hidden the arg channel- 😭 this might be the only place to talk about info atm... i’ll re-update this if anything changes

The Filian ARG-dedicated Discord Server: https://discord.gg/esfqqUFBS5 

Whoops some more notes about it to know before joining:

• Discord account must be created for at least than 5 minutes
• Wick Bot is used to verify into the channel
• Rules are the same as the one in the main Filian server
• Embed perms unlock after a week of being in the server

• Embeds are granted early IF, AND ONLY IF, you have something ARG-relevant/helpful that needs to be shared

Organization Method

Generally, my (Asa) idea for this reorganization is to split everything into dedicated sections so when someone wants to know what has been tried already about anything, they can find that info (and only that info) within a few clicks. This is to avoid the choice-paralysis or info-overload of newcomers trying to parse the relevant info without having to read the entire 5 months of timeline and testing history of the whole ARG.

For now, the general method is to break it into a directory structure like so:
{Platform}/{Location}/{Puzzle or Theory or Analysis}

So for example:
Minecraft/Shremple/Tower Encoded Data

or

blackfile-index.org/CITF_MEMO.TIF/Tried Passwords

or

ARG Channel/Livestream 1/DTMF Analysis

The two most important things (aka the ways it fails) for this type of organizational structure are:

1. Understanding that the puzzles are likely cross-referencing each other multiple times. For example: Don’t miss the link between the ARG Discord Owner’s Bio and the Minecraft Seed (this example is unconfirmed to be a real link, but demonstrates the idea I’m trying to make very well).
2. Documenting the things we try that FAIL or DEAD END - the most massive time sink and morale killer is trying something for days only to find out someone already followed that path a month ago. Especially for newcomers. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

It will also be extremely helpful for each thing to be referenced directly if it is outside of each theory’s specific scope (the minecraft seed pulling from the discord owner’s bio, to reuse that example), so it should be hyperlinked to the relevant tab and bolded. The bold is to distinguish between external (not-to-the-docs) links and internal (to-other-tabs-in-the-docs) links.

Additional Editing Guidelines:

One last thing before you go, we (Finite Emporium on discord + whoever comes after me) have a proposed set of guidelines for the members and players of the ARG with Google doc editing permissions!

Proposed guidelines for participants with doc editing perms;

1. Please add as much context as is needed to understand a statement/link/picture as this doc is for both active participants and potentially new parties
2. Please do what you can to credit all contributions, the arg is a community effort and most would feel its important to celebrate contributions it also helps to identify relevant parties should someone need be asked for further info/clarification or evidence of claims
3. Proposed format is after information like text or a photo add “(credits: name/user name, place ie discord)”
4. You are encouraged to read through all of the tabs before contributing information to the document - this may become challenging or impractical as the doc grows so this suggestion may be updated or removed in the future
5. It was discussed that incorrect/debunked information be struckthrough & solved or info proven correct should be highlighted(green/blue were proposed) - the primary reasoning for striking out instead of deleting is it saves the info for later rechecking & doesn’t remove the work put in by those who contributed it, as the work is part of the fun/play of the ARG it feels important to preserve those contributions even if they didn’t prove correct.
6. This is a game, please don’t try to get people into legal trouble by doing internet shenanigans

Summary of Events

TL;DR Summary of What is Happening and Current Status

Chronological order of confirmed events

Hardcore marathon:

• Knocks and glitches were heard/seen throughout the video, and Filian gave concerned reactions to both.
• A glitchy video clip was played at the end of the marathon. In the visual glitches a youtube link was found leading to an unlisted video on the channel @isitreallyover.
• The channel contains two unlisted videos (known so far) and one removed video. There's also a community post (which links one of the videos) and four livestreams (two of which are now privated).

First Unlisted Video: (Link)

• The unlisted video is a black screen with glitch effects and the video gradually shifts from black to purple. The title decrypts to "red herring".
• The gradient from black to purple may have been a clue about the pfp.

@isitreallyover youtube channel: (Link)

• Named “time is up”.
• Channel description decrypts to "one day... in another life? maybe?" using a Caesar cipher.
• Channel pfp is a darkened image with a grid of numbers over a closeup of filian's eye decrypting to "I thought I had more time" using hexadecimal.

1st livestream: (Link)

• Pure black screen with miscellaneous sounds.  
• The stream title started as a "." and was changed to "325113155552413553". Using the Polybius square cipher, then the Vigenère cipher with the default key on cryptii, this translates to "keep going"
• The stream description started with the word "its" in binary.  a few hours in the word "happening" was added in binary with the “new line” character at the end.

2nd livestream: (Link)

• Aria Variata BVW 989 was looping with a black screen. There were intermittent periods of silence and an audio glitch at 44:09.
• Using the Enigma Machine cipher with all settings set to 1 (default on cryptii depending on how you access it) the title (jmksz o) translates to "resolc", or "closer" backwards.

3rd livestream: (The stream is not unlisted, but rather made unavailable by YouTube since it exceeded 12 hours.)

• 3 day long pure black screen stream.  First half was complete silence, second half was looping Debussy - Clair de Lune.
• The title was 28 underscores. There was no description.
• Nothing confirmed was solved in this stream.

4th livestream: (Unlisted)

• The stream was nearly black static with the song Didone Abbandonata looping. The title was again 28 underscores.
• The description started blank, but was eventually changed to 4999 backslashes.
• Temporarily the description had the following text in the middle of the backslashes: N̸̯̭͒͠o̴̳͉̚̕w̸̻̏ ̸̧̠͛̊t̸̪͝h̶̹̞̏a̵̭̔͜t̴͉̲̿̚ ̸̭͍͌́y̷̧̏͗o̸͙͒u̸̖͆ ̷̧̞̀h̸̰̑̆ȧ̷̯͎v̷̪̀ḙ̵̺̚ ̶̬̄̑ḛ̵̐͝v̴͎̟͝͝ė̸̪r̷͎̀ȳ̵̙̥t̶̩̼̀h̶̙͐i̷̳̊n̶̩̜̄͝ġ̸̡̍.̸͍̎ ̵͙̋ k̶̘̎ẹ̷̋e̶̸̞̯̯̬̓̊p̵͍̋ ̴̮̔ͅl̷͛͜͝o̵͉͂o̴̡̅ḱ̸̝͖͝í̶̛͖n̸̖̿g̴̝͐
• There were beeps and typing/failure sound effects throughout the video which were eventually realized to be the pattern 6 22 22.

YouTube Short: (Unlisted) (Low quality incomplete reupload.)

• A link to a discord server with the same glitched text from the 4th livestream was found in the description to a short on the Filian youtube channel posted on the date 6/22/22.
• In the short filian dances to the song Diamond City Lights by LazuLight NIJISANJI EN.

Second Unlisted (now privated) Video:

• This video was quickly removed. Believed to be due to an error in the clues.
• The title was “//” with no description.

Third Unlisted Video: (Link)

• The video is a black screen with the song “Sonata in G Minor, Op 50 No. 3 - Adagio dolente” (specifically the version linked) playing in the background.
• At the timemark 3:23 loud beeps can be heard in the same pattern as in the 4th livestream.
• The description contains 4994 “/” and 5 “_”.

Discord Server: (Invite link no longer valid)

• A soundboard found on the discord server had a spectrogram that showed 50.115.0.25 which turned out to be a minecraft server IP
• The discord server owner had a name that was 24 slashes. The name of the discord server is also 24 slashes. The owner's @ is ”_._.__.___.____.___.__._._”. Neither has been solved. (Possible Solution)

Minecraft Server: (50.115.0.25)

• The server is in hardcore mode. The description initially read "find it". The seed is “711026799995424918”.
• A graveyard was quickly found in which there was a pale oak sign reading "you can get them back.  send the dead. ice is your friend".
• A command block protected altar was found in an ice spikes biome with signs written in galactic alphabet (enchanting table language) that decoded to: "If you want your fallen a sacrifice must be made. Place the head of the dragon at the top. Don't misunderstand, there is more to be found." Upon placing the dragon head all dead players were revived, and continued to revive for around an hour. This seemed to only be a way to revive people as no other clue has been gathered from these two structures.
• A reinforced deepslate box was found in the end containing a custom temple build and command block/barrier block protection. A sign was found inside with hex code written on it, which decoded led to a website "blackfile-index.org". The temple has been dubbed “filian temple”.
• The server description was then updated twice, first briefly reading "if only you knew how much more is out there", then changing again to "find. it."
• On Christmas the server was changed to normal survival instead of hardcore.  The server returned to hardcore on the 26th.
• The server went down for maintenance on Feb 3rd with the message “Going offline into maintenance mode to work on lag. See you in a day!”. The server MOTD changed to “Currently under maintenance” in red, and “we’ll be back soon” in a beach gradient.
• The server returned at some point before 9 am PST on Feb 28th, 2026.
• The spawn area of the server is currently closed off by ARG players in order to prevent griefing, so new players may have a hard time joining.

The Blackfile Website: (Link)

• The website is a near black static screen with green text saying "SYSTEM READY…" and a line to submit inputs. It looks sort of like a terminal.
• The typing sounds and failure sounds are the same as in the 4th livestream.
• Looking into the site code uncovered the input "THE_TRUTH" which initially led nowhere, but gave the text "ACCESS GRANTED".
• Inputting the text "help" into the terminal gives the output "THERE IS NO HELP FOR YOU HERE." potentially implying there are additional undiscovered inputs.
• A "read me" page was found, and a countdown started ticking once every 24 hours. At the end of the countdown we were given the text:

0kind

It=stillnotfound

Sacrifice.complete=true

Initializing message...

“If I’m lost, the backup coordinates can be found on Earth near where east meets west: An ancient sea bridge, an island between B and C, bodies both. I have a yankee sixth sense about it. Two ivory towns. Carry the cross into the Mine, just the whole numbers, sixty three times raise the parallel, just twice the long.”

• At that time, the input THE_TRUTH began redirecting users to a windows 95 desktop with several inaccessible files, and a password protected file called “CITF_MEMO.TIF”.
• The file “Convo” was added on Feb 11th containing a conversation between “J” and “Me” discussing whether there were any updates on “the girl”, showing that they’ve noticed our access to the website/win95 desktop, and saying the docs are still protected, and the password hasn’t been found or shared.
• On 3/17 at 4:41 AM the website code was changed to include the konami code.  Entering the konami code plays the music notes CBACG and brings up a new riddle. The riddle and its solution can be found here.

• The solution to this riddle leads to some coordinates on the Minecraft server. So on Mars 17th the fourth, and seemingly most important, structure was discovered and later dubbed “Shremple”.

filians YouTube Channel: (@filianIsLost)

• Around this point on the 22nd of January 2026, 330 videos were removed from filians official YouTube channel. Then on the 16th of February 303 more videos and all posts were also removed from the channel.
• The pfp of filians channel has also become darker twice. On the 16th and 17th of February.
• These points have not successfully been incorporated as a clue anywhere but there are some theories.

The Shremple:

• The shremple is a ziggurat or pyramid structure incased in an obsidian box.
• Two beacons where placed on iron blocks in the shremple and the text shortly after the text “Remember” “Watch it.” “Protect it” “its coming.” was added through invisible armor stands to four sea lanterns on the corners of the structure.
• A full eight days later several waves of difficult mobs started attacking the shremple which were fought off by ARG players.
• Afterwards several animals were spawned. 32 cats and a cow.
• On 21 of Mars the entire Shremple was erased in hope that something would happen. Nothing did, and later on the 25th it was rebuilt.

Current Status (Updated: May 1st 2026)

• The spawned animals were the last part that’s known for certain to be a part of the ARG. That was on the 3rd of Mars 2026. Since then, no progress has been made for certain and we are stuck on what the animals are supposed to tell us. Theories link.
• On May 1st 2026 all of filians social media began to delete all content. The community is currently trying to find any meaning behind this.

Current Investigations (threads we are grasping at):

The Cats: (started 17/4/2026)

• Due to an “unfortunate incident” the original cow and most of the cats were killed. On the off chance that they were supposed to do something there and not just a clue 32 untamed cats were brought to the shremple on April 17th to see if something would happen.
• Nothing has happened yet but they are being monitored on the shremple cam.

The Minecraft Coords:

• The server Overworld is only 32500 blocks in all directions from a custom spawnpoint and as such has been extensively, but not thoroughly, searched by several players. There could theoretically be more hidden secrets pointed to by one of the riddles. Many cords have been suggested and investigated, but these have been poorly documented. There are 4-5 lists of tested cords in this doc and it’s hard to tell when they stopped being updated.
• Therefore a correct location could have fallen through the cracks and been missed. It could be a job for someone to compile all these in a single comprehensive document.
• The world has also been scanned using mods but nothing unusual was found.

The CITF_MEMO Password:

• The website is rate limited so the password cannot be brute forced. Over 11,5 million attempts have been made anyway but no progress so far.
• Since THE_TRUTH password was timegated some people believe that the CITF password also is while others believe we already have the clues for it.

The Great Purge: (May 1st, 2026)

• Shortly after 1 pm PST, filian’s YouTube channel again had declining video counts. Then the banner and PFP were removed. Similar purges followed on other media accounts.
• Twitch was purged around 2:45 pm PST
• Instagram was purged at some point before 3:05 pm PST.
• Twitter was similarly purged of all posts, banner, PFP, etc by 3:40 pm PST.
• Discord profile was similarly purged.
• It appears only the Facebook is unchanged.
• Soon afterwards, many of filian’s friends started tweeting variations of “Filian is lost”.

Current Threads

This will be where we keep all major threads that are considered to be largely ‘active’. (‘active’ is currently undefined and follows vibes. I’m open to a more structured definition, if anyone wants to define one.)
I think keeping these as {location}s as defined here is a good method for keeping the list clean without directing newcomers’s attention too hard into any specific interpretation of the facts.

Current examples and why include:

Shremple (because we were directed here by two separate puzzles and have not found anything other than two big fights/raids)

Livestream 1 (because we have a LOT of puzzles and things to look into in this and have no ‘solutions’ for any of them yet)

CITF_MEMO.TIF (because we still need to figure out the password) ((this is largely considered our ‘main blocker’, of sorts, but also has zero leads which could indicate we missed something somewhere else))

FAQs (README!!!!)

FAQs

• Have we checked X coords? -> Checked Coords.

• Diomedes? -> README.md.

• Is Filian…? -> Filian is fine. This is waay too much work and money to put into something for it to be a ‘pull the plug’ or ‘coverup’ event. We've had multiple confirmations she is alive, safe, and is still influencing stuff behind the scenes.

• Maybe we should ask X streamer/person? -> NO!! 1000 people sending a single ‘harmless question’ to the same person is not a good idea. The ARG is self-contained.

• Is the ARG over? -> We honestly don’t know. We hope not. There is, technically, no signs saying it’s over (like an announcement or something), so there is some hope.

Useful Tools

List of confirmed codes & cyphers used to solve components of the ARG so far:

Goldbug cypher
Hexadecimal code
Caesar cypher (key = 7)
Binary code
polybius cypher

ARG Start

End of Minecraft Hardcore (Part 7) 🔴 HARDCORE MINECRAFT MARATHON 🔴Stream ends when Neuro Vedal Crelly & Filian beat the game! Pt 7,  Unlisted Initial Video URL was revealed for frame or two at the end:

During the minecraft marathon stream, Filian’s screen would occasionally have a glitch effect, or a knocking sound could be heard.  Neither effect was triggered by chat.  Whenever this happened, Filian’s expression would noticeably shift, usually followed by her saying some variation of the phrase: “I don’t have much time.”

Snackers HQ

Snackers HQ

Moderator Savaeris established the ARG channel on 12/8/2025 at 8:08 pm PST a short time after the end of the Minecraft Marathon.

At 6:01 pm PST on 12/20/2025, moderator Achievos posted in the announcements channel a plea for help searching the Minecraft server for ‘it’ and boosted the ARG channel.

At 3:32 pm PST on 12/24/2025, Snackbot posted in Filian’s announcements discord channel about the ARG and this was noted a few minutes later by moderator Dragun in the ARG channel.  At this time we do not know if this means we are done or if there is more to the ARG, but early on 12/25/2025 the Minecraft server description changed -  suggesting there is more.

Older Theories

Theories:

So what if Filian is an AI?
Do any of the glitches make a MIDI arrangement?

CHANNELS ON STREAM COMMENTING MAY BE LINKED TO ARG

Check Wind Audio, could be stretched song, common ARG tactic.

This is likely to lead to Filian getting a new model.

It sounded too consistent to be a song ngl

^Incredibly slowed audio always sounds very consistent
^^True, but it could be a low ambient track.
^^^Doesn’t hurt to check

-- wind and water audio from the first stream has been sped up and doesn't sound like anything. Water at 10x speed sounds more watery, wind has nothing.
There was some weird beeps and boops might be morse code or something

^ speed up 50x the last audio (low ambiance (ominous)). Does it sounds like the cicadas?

Song Lyrics?:

Time is up
Is it really over
one day..
in another life?
Maybe?

'''End of Minecraft Marathon, distorted outro video played. v=yKYgQrogPEI hidden in distortion. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKYgQrogPEI leads to unlisted video on a different channel, @isitreallyover or “Time is up”

Channel description is: vul khf... pu huvaoly spml? thfil?

Using Stick7 (an increasingly common catchphrase during the marathon) as a clue we can shift this 7 digits as a Caesar Cipher to get: one day... in another life? maybe?

Channel PFP has hidden HEX code in what appears to be an eye: 69 20 74 68 6f 75 67 68 74 20 69 20 68 61 64 20 6d 6f 72 65 20 74 69 6d 65

Which decodes to: i thought i had more time

The channel started livestreaming with various low volume sounds. Stream description eventually changed to: 01101001 01110100 01110011 Which in binary is: its

TITLE CHANGE: 325113155552413553

With a polybius cypher it wields: MVCEZWQPX

When used in a vigenere-cipher with the key “cryptii” it yields “Keep Going” (found by ryab4ique on discord)

Looking back through everything I'm going to say there's a reasonable chance this isn't a full ARG. We haven't really had clues lead to other clues and most confirmed solutions were just rudimentary codes. I think the stream is supposed to be more of a teaser than any insane hidden codes considering nothing has come of any audio analysis. Even the dial tone might have just been a default sound used for this. I think all the sound effects together are just some sort of teaser to a new model that will make a lot more sense on debut

“The Yuuki Theory” - liquidwater2 on Discord (Initially posted 12/11/25)

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

summary:

This theory posits that Filian is like Yuuki from SAO.  She's actually on her death bed and has been piloting a virtual person.  Time is up means she finally croaked and now her consciousness has been transported to the digital world.  The reason she hasn’t returned yet is that there was a system crash which corrupted her, which is why she isn’t around right now.  We are currently searching for a backup to restore her.

Edit:  I think it might be more likely that she is trying to escape something (could still be death) by transferring her consciousness, or at the very least someone doesn’t want her to transfer, which explains the knocking, and why she’s running in the ARG intro clip, and seems to be transferring willingly.  Someone also mentioned in another theory that backslash is the escape character in a lot of programming languages, and backslash has shown up a lot in the arg so far.

She has recently removed the “vtuber in training” from her socials, and has been insisting on streams that she is not a vtuber, but instead an anime girl.

The channel description says “In another life”, implying that a current life is ending.

Potential narrative explanation for the 114 backslashes and the underscores:

11 represents Filian because of her jersey.  4 represents death, as it does in japan and other asian cultures.  This would mean Filian has died. In the first livestream, one of the identifiable noises was a heart rate monitor with a dangerously slow heartrate.  If we assume the backslashes represent Filian’s death, the 28 underscores in the third stream would be a heart rate monitor flatline.  The silence is a moment of silence for the dearly departed, and the following music “clair de lune” is common funeral music.  The music in the fourth stream is titled after a tragedy where the main heroine killed herself. —-To be expanded upon.

In the fourth ARG livestream we get a repeated code with the pattern 6:22:22.  At exactly that second in the minecraft stream filian dies.  The odds of this happening are 0.005%, or 1 in 20,352 making it unlikely to be a coincidence.

//Knocking could potentially be “knocking on heaven’s/death’s door”.  This is still pretty shaky.//

//The 3rd livestream, the one with silence and funeral music with the supposed flatline, was public for almost exactly 3 days, which could symbolize a period of death before a resurrection//

//The third video has the character limit of forward slashes.  Some people have pointed out that the backslashes could be a descent, the underscores the flatline, and the forward slashes a meteoric rise.  Unclear if this is the intent//

The only reactions with substance from the minecraft stream:

Part 5: In response to a glitch, she says “I’m not long for this world”.

Part 7: In response to a glitch she says “It’s not lookin’ good”

Yuuki Theory Expansion #1 - 2/22/26

This is a quick update to the theory which incorporates new information that has been gained in the past few months.  One major question that the previous segment fails to answer is “If she transferred to digital why is she still gone? Why isn’t she back yet?”.  She never woke up from the data transfer.  The process was incomplete.  This is because the system/network transferring her data crashed mid-way through. We know that the windows 95 environment we have access to went through a crash.  We have several corrupted files in the recycling bin, a few of which are confirmed to be created when a crash takes place.  Filian’s data was also corrupted during this crash.  The people facilitating this transfer needed to restore the missing data, so they started extracting her personality and memories from her youtube channel, which is why hundreds of videos and all posts are gone, and why it is getting darker/staticy. The question “any updates on the girl” asked by J is referring to whether she has woken up or been restored by the extracted data.  Us snackers on the other hand have an alternate route to a solution.  An unknown entity has offered us aid.  “If you want your fallen a sacrifice must be made”.  While at the time this seemed to be an unplanned helping hand offered to us by the gm due to our lack of minecraft ability, I believe there is more to it.  Filian is counted among our fallen by this entity.  Unfortunately, while our character data was easy to find and restore, Filian’s is corrupted.  It requires a backup.  To fulfil the boon we purchased from it and restore our final fallen, the entity provided us a riddle not for backup coordinates in the sense that the original coordinates were lost, but coordinates TO a backup of Filian.  This is why the read me includes the line “Sacrifice.complete=True” as though it was a requirement to acquire the riddle.

(short timeline for reference)

1/22/26 330 videos are removed from the filianislost channel

2/11/26 J and Me Convo drops

2/16/26 303 more videos and all posts are removed from the filianislost channel.

Additional speculation (shaky): The streams at the start of the ARG were the data stream of filian’s consciousness being transferred.  The messages in the titles and description were not necessarily to us, but thoughts by filian as the process took place.  “Keep going, it’s happening, closer”, however the final of these began to show some cracks as it was displayed backwards. During that stream we got the message “Filian Is Lost”, and as mentioned above the following stream had no message. Only a flat line of underscores, silence, and funeral music.

It could also be that Filian is the one that initiated this transfer against the will of whoever is operating this technology, and the knocking is them trying to get in and stop her.

Narrative open ends:  

Why did we need a sacrifice/what’s with all the altar and temple iconography?

What is J and Me’s actual goal?  Are they antagonists?

Are the backup and “it” the same thing?

BTW if this pretty much correct but the data transfer was the other way from digital to human I’m still gonna count this as being right XD

• Last timeplan posted, shows HC Minecraft for October 10th, lasting 2 days which did not happen.

We can assume something caused the HcMinecraft stream (which likely was planned as start to the ARG and debut) to be pushed back for 2 months. The following 2 months of stream seem slightly derivative, like filler content.

Initially on the Livestream 2 page uncredited:

The 114 ‘/’ Theory:
The song is “Aria Variata, BVW. 989 - Variation No. 1” The only other thing that related the number 114 to this song is “Minuet in G major, BWV Anh. 114”. The song was originally written by Christian Petzold, but was popularized by S.Bach. This song is in G Major which might be a hint later on idk but it’s gotta be related to the fact that the title of the livestream was Minor A.

I don’t yet really know how this relates but the words Minuet or G major or Petzold(OG creator) or Anna Magdalena(The piece is part of the notebook that Bach wrote for his wife) might be important.  

"Why Backslashes? The 'Escape' Theory" The use of 114 backslashes (\) is not random. In programming, \ is the Escape Character, suggesting the entity is trying to 'break out' of the 114 (The Bach Minuet). Also \ is used for Windows Local Paths, while / is used for Minecraft and URLs. This confirms the entity or Filian is trapped in the System OS, not the game, supported by the 'Windows Ding' sound heard at 49:48." (This is just my theory tho, might be completely wrong)

A variation on this is that 114 is decimal in ASCII for ‘r’ and ‘\r’ is a Carriage Return special character.  This is used in Windows to denote a newline in the sequence ‘\r\n’ (‘Carriage Return’ followed by ‘Line Feed’).  Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

Music Note Theory:

 If you translate 'Find it' into german it becomes 'Finde es'. This has a very interesting double meaning as the word es for it also is the name for the note e-flat in german.

@random_jawa Incidentally the note e-flat is right to the left of the keys E and F, 2 white keys/2 ivory towns on a piano:

@ratinaselfmademaze here's the frequency of it/e-flat. Maybe in some kind of recording there is something interesting at that frequency.

I also do not know where else we shout find e-flat but it also appears a few times in the right hand of Claire-de Lune by Debussy so maybe something happens at those times in the recording, or we just have to count how often e-flat appears or smth. Similar.

And lastly to give fuel to the conspiracy schitzos among us: The mods who totally do not know the solution and do not give tips * wink * * wink * posted in the arg channel that e-flat stands for filian so by finding it/e-flat we can find filian:

https://vsoccershow.com/

(screenshot credits: ARP_Kioshima on discord)

Makedonski:
Checked all site images
Found that:

this means that most likely the number 11 was added during postprocessing, and such a T-shirt does not actually exist.

I have a code that assigns a random color to each color, if the colors are the same, then they had the same color before processing. In real photos, the pixels are of different colors due to noise.

What interesting: it only appears on Filian's green T-shirt, and note that only the number stands out. That is, they had a green Filian T-shirt, but without a number, and a purple Filian T-shirt, but with a number. It's at least weird.

Also, there are only 2 images like model_x_fil:

May 26th clip:

when's the face reveal? *big sigh* chat you guys wanna see my real face?!

i'll talk about it. guys, here's some information. as of this morning, based on what i have seen of the future filian i'll say *ahem* i am now 100% confident that debut is happening. it is going really well. it looks amazing.

a little behind the scenes, chat. a lot of you say, "filian why have you not debuted after three and a half years of streaming?"

the answer is simple, from the beginning i've always seen myself as sort of like an anime girl. and that's kind of like what i want to be in the future, right?

so with that being said i tried to debut twice! twice in the past but both times i was not satisfied with it, so i had to put it down

anything less than the best for you guys is unacceptable

so, chat, i can say though after all this time, i really think we're gonna be getting the best this time

it took me three years of meeting people learning and a lot of other stuff but i think for the future you guys will be very very excited

now chat, i will be saying this, "filian, *ahem* what are you doing once the model's ready?"

and the answer is, a lot. there is so much more going into it than just my physical appearance

there's going to be a lot more happening

so you know chat, technically we're still in early stages but i'm really excited for it. i know it's happening, and i also think you guys will be um very impressed, i guess

we'll see, chat, we'll see. anyway snackers thats all i gotta say. no dates, no dates

but as of this morning, from what i've seen, i'm now 100% certain this will be what you guys will see

Sept 13th clip:

so guys, i have a quick thing to say, a lot of you guys have been like, "filian debut when?"

ok i i'll say this, chat, it's probably not as far away as you think

but i will also say this, chat, it's not gonna be a normal debut

it's gonna be probably the first time in like fore- definitely the first time but maybe the last time that anyone's ever done something like this

so it'll be a little bit different, chat, instead of just debuting, i've been preparing to show you guys my- my world

a lot of you ask like, "filian, can i ask you questions like you know uhhh like where do you live and stuff?" you know i'm saying?

and you know i usually just say a fruit snack factory, cardboard box, homeless, blah blah blah

but the truth is, chat, i live in an apartment, and i am going to be moving to a slightly bigger one soon

and then i'll be showing it for you guys. i'll be showing you guys the world. so yeah

i've been working on it nonstop in the background and its been very very intensive so i hope you guys will be excited for it

i am working beyond hard for it. its the hardest i've ever worked for anything in my life

so like doing all the streaming stuff on top of it like a lot of its like you know not that crazy

but yeah, i've been working really really hard on something you know special

we've been waiting four/for years for it so yeah i'll show you guys my world i guess

so yeah that's all that's all i wanted to say uhm no dates no dates no no no no no no no no dates

but when i'm done preparing everything, i'll show you guys.

ok, chat? alright? cool? yes or no? is that ok chat? fighting!

Dec 8th clip:

i didn't think it would be this soo-

IT'S HAPPENING!

it's time for me to go for a- for a little while

i (unintelligible)! (maybe "i'm running out of time!")

i really gotta go!

i didn't think you'd ever see me like this

you'll be able to see the world, my world

Filian's Steam Account

Steam Profile (WIP)

Disclaimer: There is no known clue pointing to Filian’s steam account and it is possibly not part of the ARG or a huge red herring. Double Disclaimer: Linking any Steam account in the Discord gets you a 24 hour mute.

Filian’s Steam Account Validity

Random_Jawa/@random_jawa found profile history at https://steamladder.com/profile/76561198183932810/rep/, Pizzabash noted the account had been privated Dec 12, 2025, see Figure A1, and the profile name had changed to a single period “.” on Apr 2, 2026 at 9:03PM (Todo get timezone), see Figure A2, and the PFP had been changed on Apr 4, 2026 (Todo get timezone), see Figure A3.   ARP_Kioshima/@arp_kioshima found a history of the profile including profile names on https://steamhistory.net/id/76561198183932810, see Figure A4.  ARP_Kioshima and TH3EEuphoricFan1161 both verified that a manual indexing of the steamhistory.net site is required for a profile status to be captured.  Later Liquid/@liquidwater2 brought up concerns about old profile names missing when looking at the steam account in steam.  Using a test account set up by TH3EEuphoricFan1161, Liquid and TH3EEuphoricFan1161 were able to recreate the state of Filian’s official steam account’s profile names, see Figure A5.  Note, this took a little finagling to recreate the state, see the filian-arg-read-the-pins channel on Apr 16/Apr 17 to see more details.

Profile Picture Analysis

On Apr 7, 2026 at 10:19PM UST (Apr 8 in some timezones) “TheSlow / mc: The_Kaktuzz”/@.theslow on the Snackers HQ discord noted the official Filian steam profile had been updated with a profile picture (PFP) that looked black but contained “seriously weird artifacts going on”.  After a couple days, It was initially discounted but brought back up on Apr 15 at 6:47PM UST (Apr 16 in some timezones) by Hiro_Chronos ඞ/@based_hiro.  Shortly after Metakimi/@metakimi posted the steam PFP with its intensity increased.  Later WolfVerzockt/@wolfverzockt posted another version of the PFP with a different intensity used in the pinned messages by Pizzabash/@pizzabash. The original PFP, Metakimi’s, and WolfVerzockt’s images are shown below in Figure 1.

 Figure 1: (Left) Original Filian’s Steam PFP.  (Middle) Metakimi’s intensity increased version.  (Right) WolfVerzockt’s intensity increased version.

The steam profile in question has been proven to be Filian’s official steam account.  See Appendix I for a more detailed history of confirmation.  

Image Information and Processing (Very WIP)

• QRcode is extremely unlikely and has been tried many times.  First suggested by Icantdrive/@ghostlyshadow0061 (and MANY people after).  It has been scanned many times and is missing the position/alignment “eyes” seen in qr code corners.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code 
• TH3EEuphoricFan1161/@th3eeuphoricfan1161 setup a test steam account and confirmed with Jeff (filian)/@zankjeff and TeleportBread/@teleportbread that fully black images remain fully black after going through Steam’s compression.  
• Many have proposed the previous steam profile was darkened or the @isitreallyover youtube PFP was darkened.  While not conclusive, there is good evidence that simply darkening the images cannot produce what is seen in the PFP.  See Appendix II for rgb histogram analyses of the images.
• (WIP) 8x8 pixel grids suggested and worked on by Miner/@bruv7302 (and others todo get names). Found repeating patterns throughout the image inside of the 8x8 sections.

Figure B1: 8x8 grid of saturated and brightened Steam PFP.

• (WIP) rgb channels and other color arrangements worked on by Miner/@bruv7302 (and others todo get names)

Figure B2: Every color channel and arrangement tried.

        Figure B3: Using aperisolve.com.

• Comparing Filian’s eye to the Steam PFP via compression and layers. Suggested and worked on by Miner/@bruv7302.

Figure B5: All modified versions (layers) of the Filian eye compressed and made as a pfp on steam.

• (WIP) Reconstructing the image into a jigsaw puzzle with layers suggested and worked on by Ikunobu_Official/@ikunobu and Miner/@bruv7302

Figure B6: Color change of Steam PFP to see colorshifts easier.

Figure B7:

BACKGROUND COLORS - White

FOREGROUND COLORS (1) - Red, Green, Blue, Dark gray, Light gray

FOREGROUND COLORS (2) - Yellow (red + green), Pink (red + blue), Aqua (green + blue), Dark green (green + dark gray), Light red (red + light gray), Dark red (red + dark gray)

FOREGROUND COLORS (3) - Orange (?? + yellow), Purple (?? + yellow), Light yellow (light gray + yellow), Brownish-blue (blue + yellow), Brown (dark red + yellow).

Figure B8: The original 8x8 grid image with a different solve attempt.

• Todo find any other approaches taken and summarize here (I need a break documenting this, if you would like to see the current state, please look up Miner’s posts in the discord channel for a decent understanding of what is/has been tried)

RGB Histogram Analysis

RGB Histogram Analyses (WIP)

By taking the red (r), green (g), and blue (b) color channel values for each pixel in the image we can produce a histogram of the color values for each color channel.  If a potential source image was simply darkened to produce the official Filian Steam account PFP, when linearly scaled to the channel ranges found in the PFP, the histograms should match to a good degree.  Below are some commonly suggested source images compared against the PFP.  In all, the left-most column contains the rgb histograms for the PFP, the right-most column contains the rgb histograms for the suggested source image, and the middle column contains the rgb histograms for a linear darkening of the image such that the maximum value before darkening matches the maximum value in the PFP after darkening.  Analyses done by TH3EEuphoricFan1161.

Filian's Channel

Hardcore Marathon

During filian's stream, knock sound effects and blocky visual glitches appear. After a glitch or knock, filian usually says something related to not having enough time, or having to finish on 'this run'. Note: this is not the same as the knocking bits redeem usually available, which shows when someone redeemed this, as nobody was seen redeeming these occurrences.

During visual glitches, the audio also plays a glitched out sound.

Glitchy Visuals

ARG Start

End of Minecraft Hardcore (Part 7) 🔴 HARDCORE MINECRAFT MARATHON 🔴Stream ends when Neuro Vedal Crelly & Filian beat the game! Pt 7,  Unlisted Initial Video URL was revealed for frame or two at the end:

During the minecraft marathon stream, Filian’s screen would occasionally have a glitch effect, or a knocking sound could be heard.  Neither effect was triggered by chat.  Whenever this happened, Filian’s expression would noticeably shift, usually followed by her saying some variation of the phrase: “I don’t have much time.”

The video URL found in the glitchy visuals at the end of the marathon stream led to the ‘time is up’ Channel via the Initial Video

Heart Containers

Unsolved: There are heart containers that glitch across the screen during the ARG intro that no one really caught.  I initially thought it was just random junk, but you can actually see it glitching into several locations at around 7:28:45 in the stream.  Not sure what this asset is from.  Someone said it’s a minecraft half heart but doesn’t seem to match up.  Could be just an artist rendition of it.

'time is up' Channel

Channel → https://www.youtube.com/@isitreallyover 

Channel Name → time is up

Channel Handle → @isitreallyover
Channel Created on → December 5th 2025 (users have pointed out that is the same day the minecraft marathon started on)

Channel Icon Analysis:

The channel icon for time is up when brightened in an image editing software or via display settings shows a series of dark blobs over a filian’s Twitch PFP eye.  Opening the image URL directly and modifying the URL, replacing everything after = to =s0-rp gives a full size image in png format:

https://yt3.ggpht.com/py7QNjH4Tsd5B9EuHY-LnAcK6mj_X9TW5uml_pzM28K9pnN5_1aaV7AjgdAHIVTcEgSjJeXm8Rk=s0-rp

Brightening the full-size image reveals a string of numbers “69 20 74 68 6f 75 67 68 74 20 69 20 68 61 64 20 6d 6f 72 65 20 74 69 6d 65” which decodes via ASCII hex code to: "i thought i had more time". (Solved by fluffblush, and mypandaisnamed on discord)

Channel Description Analysis:

Channel description (solved by Caesar+7)

-Initial Video

Link to video (unlisted) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKYgQrogPEI

Theory - Throughout the video the black screen gradually turns to purple.  This was likely the main clue in the video.  It was saying take the black photo (pfp) and raise the contrast to reveal the code.  The code was in Filian’s eye which is purple.

Thumbnail:

The thumbnail was found to be stock and not handcrafted for the ARG so it is unlikely to contain clues. See Transformers tweet below. Nothing was found with Aperi’Solve either.

All frames are here (processed by Makedonski) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-NshvLgkTsxMMIA-rl9Nj8snmJx-WvTb?dmr=1&ec=wgc-drive-hero-goto

Title Analysis:

Video Title:

The title of the initial video is “:07 ‡0::.?*” which when put through a goldbug cipher, returns the string “YLK OLYYPUN,” which when shifted through a caesar cipher returns the phrase “red herring” which is a phrase often used to describe a clue that is meant to be a distraction from the larger puzzle. (Solved by Gold_Complex on discord)

Solution: :07 ‡0::.?* -> Gold Bug Cipher -> ``ylk ollypun`` -> Caesar Cipher -> ``Red Herring``

Livestream 1

Link to stream: 325113155552413553

Additional Info:

Livestream thumbnail is same image as channel pfp

Title Analysis:

Video Title: Started as “.”, was eventually changed to “325113155552413553”. Using the polybius cipher gives the text “MVCEZWQPX”.  Plugging the new string into a vigenere cipher with the default key on cryptii gives us “keepgoing”. (solved by ryab4ique on discord)

Solution: 325113155552413553 >> polybius cipher >> MVCEZWQPX >> vigenere cipher >> keepgoing.

Binaural Sinewaves

Binaural sinewaves also known as binaural beats are a pseudo scientific concept associated with areas like spiritual healing and similar alternative health topics. Within the stream were: left=40hz right=47.83hz this is considered a 7hz binaural beat user Stardrop on discord has noted this is a frequency associated with “healing” - that said the 7hz is on the Theta spectrum of brainwaves (4-8hz) and is related to deep relaxation, a meditative like state and creativity.  It is also a prominent pattern seen in REM sleep and has been associated with rapid eye movement in sleep.

Further research and analysis on this section has been performed by several users on discord including audio engineers and found no meaningful leads have been found

Last Part Faint Frequency (Middle part has none):

1 1 2345678 1#1D345 # A

^Toying with the idea of using the difference of the 2 parts of the string as either a stand alone string or a Shift Cypher Key

Discord user TH3EEuphoricFan1161 discovered that the DTMF tones match tones seen at the start of some VHS tapes (note from EuphoricFan1161: I believe user Antuber was the first to suggest the VHS DTMF tones and I looked into it from their comment on it) (example linked in discord post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjEDxvlG78I), which are always structured by a group of 8 faint tones 12345678, only one of which is loud, followed by 1#Dxxxx, where xxxx is a sequence of DTMF tones that vary across different VHS tapes.

Further research points to https://homevideo.wikitide.org/wiki/Technicolor_DTMF_sequences and https://homevideo.wikitide.org/wiki/Technicolor_test_patterns, which only describe the loud tones, but note the imbalance in the L/R channels which is also seen in the livestream.

This means that the sound for this section is taken from the start of a VHS tape, likely a Technicolor copy, and played several times overlaid on top of itself. This tape could be identified by the code (in our case 345A).

Brief research doesn't turn up any online lists with these codes, so they would have to be found by hand, by recording (or finding recordings) of actual VHS tapes, from the very start of the tapes.

Heart Rate Monitor

Heart rate monitor beeping

Stock audio clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEb4kojtVHw  The video even has the same volume decrease and increase as the livestream. So this heart rate monitor probably has no encoding info.

[source: glaukopes (not a doctor just an experienced endurance athlete)]

 49 beats, but the 49th is very faded

 duration 1:27 or 87 seconds

 ~33 bpm

 33 bpm is abnormally low. A "normal" resting heart rate is usually said to be 60-80, but endurance athletes often have resting heart rates in the 50's or even 40's. Even for an endurance athlete, 33 would be extremely low.

Livestream 2

Link to stream: jmksz o

Title Analysis:

Video Title: jmksz o.  Plugging this text into the enigma machine cypher with the default key on cryptii (all 1s) translates to resol c, or closer backwards.  It should be noted that enigma machine splits text into segments of five when encoding, so resolc would be encoded to resol c.
[credits; TeleportBread for the solve and gm_flatass & liquidwater2 for theory on discord]

Solution: jmksz o >> enigma machine >> resol c >> closer

(pictured is “jmksz o” solved as “resol c” on a ‘blank’ enigma machine)

Livestream 3

Stream link: ____________________________ (Not available since it exceeded 12 hours in length.)

Livestream was unlisted and was running for about 1h 45min before becoming public (Somebody maybe has a more accurate time stamp I was a little late so i’m guessing)

Additional Info:

The video is unarchived, so it is unlikely that the contents themselves are necessary for any ARG solutions.

Title Analysis:

Video Title:28 underscores (____________________________)  this is as of yet unsolved/unexplained.

The number 28 might be related to BWV 28

Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende, BWV 28  Cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach
(Praise God! Now the year comes to an end)

Another name is - ‘The Year is Ending’

This might relate to the channel “time is up” and “I thought I had more time”

End-of-Stream

Stream abruptly ended and a quick check of the channel page showed the following:

Shortly after this was snipped, the video was delisted (or removed by YouTube since the livestream exceeded 12 hours).

Clair de Lune Analysis

The stream of Clair De Lune contains audio distortion that sounds like clipping or stopping, it was theorized by some users that this may be some kind of encoding like binary or similar code into the audio to solve. User Mateon1st on discord investigated the distortions for alignment across loops of the music and detected clear inconsistencies between the glitching, unable to produce an alignment that suggests its a looping code intended to be discovered below is an attached screenshot of one of Mateon1st’s attempts proving the encoded audio theory highly implausible:

The main glitches are all exactly 1024 or sometimes 2048 samples long, this is the packet size of mp4a/AAC-LC audio that youtube is using for the livestream. All glitches appear at the same relative offset modulo 1024 from the start of stream (all glitches start/end at sample 42 % 1024), which is decent evidence that this glitching originates in filian's audio/livestream setup, and is likely some kind of corruption or packet loss. (see below)

The audio cuts to near silence on both channels during the glitches, sharply cutting off the audio waves, which causes the audible pops. This shows as a straight, featureless vertical bar in spectrograms

As a follow up and verification of the work done by Mateon1st, Liquid on discord investigated the glitches as well. After extensive work to determine if perhaps there was a longer duration loop of embedded audio across several repeats of Clair De Lune. By cross referencing several longer runs of audio/loops to determine if a pattern or alignment was possible, Liquid concluded that there is no larger pattern that signifies the glitches/audio were placed intentionally. Below are 2 screenshots of Liquid’s work:

In case it's of importance the poem in both original French and translated english;
(French)
Clair de lune Votre âme est un paysage choisi Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques. Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune, Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune, Au calme clair de lune triste et beau, Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau, Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.

(English)
Moonlight Your soul is a select landscape Where charming masqueraders and bergamaskers go Playing the lute and dancing and almost Sad beneath their fantastic disguises. All sing in a minor key Of victorious love and the opportune life, They do not seem to believe in their happiness And their song mingles with the moonlight, With the still moonlight, sad and beautiful, That sets the birds dreaming in the trees And the fountains sobbing in ecstasy, The tall slender fountains among marble statues.

Paul Verlaine, 1869

Song Analysis:

Music: Sonata in G Minor, Op50 No.3 - Didone abbandonata (Clementi), original per Discord user Skragger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxY0HHos_9U

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didone_abbandonata_(Clementi)

"Didone abbandonata" translates to "Dido Abandoned" in English. It refers to the tragic story of Dido, the queen of Carthage, who is abandoned by her lover, the Trojan hero Aeneas, as he departs to fulfill his destiny of founding Rome. The title is derived from the myth recounted in Virgil's Aeneid, where Dido, heartbroken by Aeneas' departure, ultimately takes her own life by throwing herself onto a funeral pyre.

Completed identical frames: 34

I checked the identical frames, found nothing but noise.

--

Looking at the frames, frame by frame, with gamma enhancement, it looks like it's just a loop of noise roughly 5 frames in length (but not exactly, sometimes it skips). The randomness is introduced due to compression artifacts and the low brightness of the noise pattern. You can see more of what the original pattern looks like by extracting the key frames only

–

Makedonski:

I don’t know exactly how compression works on YouTube, so I can’t really comment on the statement above.

I can only say that a repeating pattern does seem to be present, but only approximately.

I’ll simply provide a list of facts after studying a one-hour segment of the stream throughout the entire day:

Most of the following facts were derived from the video keyframes (1,600 frames), not from the entire segment (90,000 frames). The facts that were verified on the full segment are marked with !!.

1. Most frames have a color palette ranging from (0, 0, 0) to (11, 11, 11).
2. !! The color (7, 7, 7) did not appear in a single frame.
3. In about one third of the frames, the color (12, 12, 12) appears.
4. !! Very rarely (< 1%), frames contain the colors (13, 13, 13) and (15, 15, 15). The color (14, 14, 14) did not appear even once, but this may be a coincidence due to an insufficiently large sample size for such a rare color (color 15 appeared only 3 times in 90000 frames).
5. If you take a mask for each color (a mask for color x means that all pixels equal to color x are set to 255, and all others to 0), then all masks are unique, which is quite surprising even considering YouTube compression.

What was checked:

1. All keyframe masks
2. All keyframes with the custom gradient maximized
3. The average image for each mask
4. A bitwise OR across each mask (in case parts of the image are hidden in different frames)

Summary: The only truly interesting fact is the absence of the color (7, 7, 7), which once again points us toward STICK SEVEN.

NOT fun fact: Due to the noise, it is almost impossible to check something automatically. Therefore, all 20000 masks had to be checked by hand (with preprocessing)

If you have any other ideas on what could be done, feel free to message me in dm or just ping me.

I can also send all the code if you want to verify or test something yourself.

_/_/__/___/____/___/__/_/_

Another idea is Gaussian; supposing so, _._.__.___.____.___.__._._ could be a normal distribution to ±4 sigma: μ-4σ.μ-3σ.μ-2σ.μ-σ.μ.μ+σ.μ+2σ.μ+3σ.μ+4σ but there’s not really something to do with it.

Soundboard Analysis

Voice channels were made available for a short time with names ".." ".." ". ." ". . ." and the last one allowed some users to play a soundboard.

The soundboard in the discord server had an audio file which showed the IP address for the Minecraft server as an image on the spectrogram:

This spectrogram with the IP was found at 10:54pm PST on Dec. 19th, 2025 and a Minecraft server with that IP was connected to a few minutes later by 11:01pm PST.

Minecraft

Minecraft Server

IP: 50.115.0.25 - Note: If you want to join the minecraft server, get to know us in the discord(s) first. Griefers have been rampant and must be filtered aggressively to avoid losing critical puzzle info.

Gamemode: Hardcore - if a player dies, they can only spectate afterwards

Title: Originally “find it”, temporarily changed to “If only you knew how much more is out there” after the second structure was found, then almost instantly changed to “find. it.”.

Version: Java 1.21.11

Seed: “711026799995424918”

Server is hosted on apexhosting with a multicraft console (GeoScape on Discord):

Initial Finds:

• Spawn is not at 0, 0 but instead at
  1123, 99, -1853
• Two Command Blocks maintained Spawn from being griefed. (Later moved by the GM due to players repeatedly breaking them via increasingly elaborate methods)

Command Block Coords:

1123, 90, -1853

1123, 89, -1853

• Very close to spawn was a GM-placed graveyard

Timeline:

• The ender dragon was defeated at approximately 2:36am PST Dec. 20, 2025.

• Just Call Me ‘L’ found a sign placed in the graveyard which said to look in an ice area to get back the dead players.  This was later confirmed to be a clue from the GM.
  you can get them back.
  send the dead.
  ice is your friend.

• Liquid (liquidwater2 on discord) found a structure resembling an altar at approximately 7:30 pm PST Dec 20, 2025 and signs surrounding it were translated from the galactic alphabet by corrizer and Liquid.

• Ratwagonz found an End ship and got a dragon head shortly after 8pm PST Dec 20, 2025.
• The resurrection event was triggered at approximately 8:30pm PST Dec 20, 2025.
• Spectators that did not get to the ground fell while others suffocated inside terrain.  The resurrection event pulsed for a time, allowing repeated respawns.

• As of 8:17 UTC permadeath is back on

• About 11:16pm PST on 12/23/2025, Stardrop found a custom-made area in the End resembling a temple near 1607, 35, 439 and an expedition was quickly launched to investigate.  After investigating the area command blocks were found, confirming that this was not a player made structure.

• A sign was far back in the temple at 1664, 42, 439 was found a few minutes after the initial discovery, which when decoded linked to blackfile-index https://www.blackfile-index.org/ [hex -> ascii yields: blackfile-index.org]

• At 11:40 PM PST 12/24/2025 someone saw a new message after the server restart: “if only you knew how much more is out there.”
• The server description was quickly changed again to “find. it.”, adding periods to the original description

• The following structure was found by Liquid on 3/17/2026 using the konami code riddle.  Additional details under the Shremple tab.
• The structure was raided by waves of difficult mobs (ex. Wardens, Withers, Ender Dragon) at or shortly before 3:03 PM PST on 2026/03/25
• On May 1, 2026, the server's time was set to 13000 ticks (/time set night). The daylight cycle was then set to false (/gamerule doDaylightCycle false) around 120 ticks later (13120 ticks) or 10:56pm (recorded on the Shremple Cam) and 19:07 recorded game time.

Description Theories

wSillyProotSoda and Veter992:

Thinking that “it” could be a item in suspicious sand or gravel, going to recheck trial chambers for them.

Makedonski:

I have a schizo theory. I rechecked the recording with minecraft steps, and with a big gain, it can be seen that this is a poorly trimmed cycle of 6 slow, 11 normal and 10 fast steps. I thought it was logical to convert it to time (the slower the step, the longer the time) like 6:11:10. I decided to check the VODS, and found that in the first stream, perfect at this timing, the neuro disappears from the server  https://youtu.be/RksF7wbZgfA?t=22270 

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2636167728?t=6h13m3s

Summary:"find it" = "find neuro"

How do we find neuro? solve the neuro arg

aaLinnea:
Time.
Time has been an overarching theme since the beginning, finding timestamps, finding dates, filian “running out of time” “time is up” “thought I had more time”. What have we lost? What is lost? Time. What are we searching for? … Maybe a timestamp. Maybe the timestamp of a debut.

Apton_ika:

In older clips she played the account ‘FilianIsLost’ (as in the ARG).

https://minecraftuuid.com/player/944da1d5-718f-4527-b37a-b454d550b217

In the actual HC Minecraft run she played on ‘FilianIsCringe’

Fog_runner:

Possible relevant info from “diamond city lights” dance short, that had the link to arg discord server.

Based on the lyrics I have a couple of ideas.

1. «Data behind my heart's encryption key (Can you see?)

Listen and you might hear a melody»

Either the number of heartbeats (49) will be relevant soon, or it’s talking about the “heart” shape we should be looking for. The map people posted in “Minecraft server” has at least 2 candidates.

2. «When gray skies take the colors away (Far away) I'll paint a rainbow lasting for days and days», «Rainbow-colored skies invite us to take a ride», «A shimmering light that will guide you through the night». «In the night there's no need to hide».

Maybe clues are set to appear at night cycle or they are more obvious at night. Gray sky areas could be more relevant to the arg than others. Gray skies are common in winter, and the resurrection altar was found in the winter biome surrounded by flames that are easier to see at night. Maybe this clue is now exhausted.

3. «Let's go to the place», «Diamond city lights illuminate what's inside», «Decoding these emotions, you're the ocean I wanna dive into tonight».

This combined with point 1 suggests that there might be something beneath a heart-shaped body of water. Or, if heart shape is irrelevant, beneath any big body of water that could pass as an ocean by Filian’s logic.

If I unleash my schizo interpreter, then there might even be music of sorts somewhere deep in the water to signify a correct place (a hidden jukebox maybe?). But based on the clues we had previously I wouldn’t rely on this.

Cyrus:

If you use chappe code on the server separated into digits with the username _._.__.___.____.___.__._._ then you get:

décès graduer ? craindre que folio

which translates to:

death graduation ? fear that folio

This is likely in reference to the file on blackfile index meaning “it” may likely be a password to CITF_MEMO.TIF

It is worth noting that 9999 in the middle of the server seed does not translate to chappe code, hence the question mark.

Checked Coords

We have performed automated scans on the world using the following methods:

- PC__ on discord scanned the whole world with esp, however I (Asa) have been unable to determine the exact method by which this was done and/or why it missed some things such as the Shremple.

- Metakimi on discord scanned at least half of the Overworld with a scan tool Darrien made and 10k in every direction in both the Nether and The End.

- Pizzabash on discord scanned 15k in the nether.

- Liquid on discord covered The End area surface way before the server had (the?) maintenance pause(s?).

A few notes on the limitations of our scanning efforts:
- Spectators are unable to load chunks past 31700 blocks unless those weren’t generated by other alive players (This in theory would include the GM when they placed the Shremple before the ARG started, so it’s unclear why those chunks were not loaded during our scan)

Additionally, we have several tables of coords that have been checked by hand.

These lists are periodically backed up but editing is open.

Seed Analysis

Seed: “711026799995424918”  Interestingly, this fits into the . and _ sequence from the ARG Discord Server Owner Account Name as 7.1.10.267.9999.542.49.1.8

The default spawn point for this seed is not where the actual server’s spawn point is. This has been theorized to mean that the seed value is important.

However, we have not been able to find a meaning yet.

Revive Altar

• Liquid (liquidwater2 on discord) found a structure resembling an altar at approximately 7:30 pm PST Dec 20, 2025 and signs surrounding it were translated from the galactic alphabet by corrizer and Liquid.

Photos of the altar and signs:

Location is -401, 101, -3075 roughly

Solution:

Signs are originally in the galactic alphabet (enchanting table alphabet), translated they say the following: (thanks corrizer on discord)

If you want your fallen a sacrifice must be made

Place the head of the dragon at the top

Dont misunderstand theres more to be found

• Ratwagonz found an End ship and got a dragon head shortly after 8pm PST Dec 20, 2025.
• The resurrection event was triggered at approximately 8:30pm PST Dec 20, 2025.
• Spectators that did not get to the ground fell while others suffocated inside terrain.  The resurrection event pulsed for a time, allowing repeated respawns.

• As of 8:17 UTC permadeath is back on

Filian Temple

• About 11:16pm PST on 12/23/2025, Stardrop found a custom-made area in the End resembling a temple near 1607, 35, 439 and an expedition was quickly launched to investigate.  After investigating the area command blocks were found, confirming that this was not a player made structure.

Photos of the temple structure:

• A sign was far back in the temple at 1664, 42, 439 was found a few minutes after the initial discovery, which when decoded linked to https://www.blackfile-index.org/ [hex -> ascii yields: blackfile-index.org]
• This lead us to the blackfile-index

Shremple

• The following structure was found by Liquid on 3/17/2026 using the konami code riddle.  Additional details under that tab.
• The structure was raided by waves of difficult mobs (ex. Wardens, Withers, Ender Dragon) at or shortly before 3:03 PM PST on 2026/03/25

• The golem precautions served their purpose and at the end were forcefully destroyed by the GM (possibly to focus on counting the cats)
• Per Dabebe31, it was something like 1- Wardens start spawning 2- Ravagers start spawning 3- Withers start spawning 4- A dragon spawns 5- Witches, vexes and the cats start spawning 6- Last wave of wardens spawns and after we kill them and the drake the sound appears
• 15+ cats were spawned by the GM during the event, reports are 15 cats were always alive during and by end of event despite some being killed during fight
• 1 cow was spawned by the GM
• Uncertain if efforts by Tanki to match blocks into the glass inserts triggered this event, the nearly 8 full days from activating corner text did, or the livestream setup by Pizzabash, but GM was definitely present and initiated the event
• VOD https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2731635389?t=1h44m52s

• Tanki breaks a block in the upper right (black glass) just before this timestamp and a warden spawns left of the structure 1-2 seconds later

• It is unclear why scanning did not pick up blocks (ex. End rods) within this structure.  After checking a large scale regional download of the world created by @aezukla, it was confirmed that the structure has existed in that location since at the latest march 2nd.

• Four slots were open with iron blocks beneath them, so we added four beacons in the slots and activated them.
• The text “remember.” “ Protect it.”  “Its coming” “Watch it.” was added to the sea lanterns on the four corners shortly after (using invisible armor stands), at or before 7:21 PM PST on 2026/03/17.

• The appearance ordering was checked in a replay by Tanki/@.tanki. in the discord but it is likely bugged, this ordering was found in the replay, see below for original appearance ordering

• Candles matching the interior glass slot colors were found around the corners of the structure.  It has been theorized that the candles are meant to put the words in order, though the original candle locations and interior glass colors have a different word sequence:

We have not found the next step after finding the Shremple.

There is definitely more to find here.

Notes on the Shremple (by Asa)

(This is just every single thing I noticed as I wandered around the temple, there is probably more I didn’t notice.)

You can check out an unmodified version of the Shremple by following these instructions: Partial World Download

Under the Temple:

Black pillar of concrete in only one corner under temple (Purple 3-candle side / NorthEast side)

- includes chiseled quarts block on the corner - no other corner has this

Towers on Temple:

Pillars on top of temple are Quartz Pillar which stop at the floor where they meet

- Between the 4 towers are two mirrored ornate boxes. On the South side, pink glass fills the window/cavity but nothing on the North side

- Stair-step level of temple floor causes Quartz Pillar to stop 2 blocks higher on inside of temple than outside of temple

- Top 'Trim' of Pillars hides a row of Quartz Pillars

- Quartz Pillars go down to bedrock 4 blocks below floor of temple

- Quartz Pillars contain unique seemingly-random patterns of Chiseled Quartz, Purple Glass, and Black Glass

- Quartz Pillars have a colored candle next to each, with a different number of candles in the colored stack: Blue=1, White=2, Purple=3, Black=4

- Quartz Pillars are each labeled with their own floating text: ‘protect it.’, ‘its coming’, ‘remember’, ‘watch it’

- Only the ‘protect it.’ and ‘remember.’ floating text labels have periods while the other two do not. (This feels very important? Idk why… a gut feeling.)

Inside Temple:

- Floor has cavities in corners of a 7x9 rectangle, with 2-tall Iron Pyramids below (filled with Beacons immediately on the live server)

- 3x3 rings of blocks of colored glass matching candle colors, empty middles (except one)

- The Black 3x3 ring is the only one with a filled center, which is Chiseled Quartz

- Single Wither Rose between each pair of 3x3 rings

Four Towers Analysis

The four towers next to each candle was noticed to be 16 blocks tall and contain a seemingly-random assortment of blocks separate from the Quartz Pillar blocks the towers were primarily made of. Current Theories include that these towers contain encoded data due to the 16-block height.

Newest theory: Each tower might be individually encoded?

Note that for all visual references,

Chiseled Quartz

blocks have been replaced with

Redstone Blocks

for visibility.

The towers have been unwrapped in various ways for everyone to work on:

Dynamic (rotate/reorder-able) Spreadsheet version:
Tower Blocks Spreadsheet by Asa (copy it to your own drive so you can edit it as you wish)
Note: In the spreadsheet, I included a row 0 which is the row of Quartz Pillar blocks above the lanterns that were hidden behind the upside down stairs ‘trim’ on the towers (without exception, these were all Quartz Pillar blocks, so might be nothing). I also noted the Quartz Bricks at the bottom of the towers since those blocks are the same as the rest of the temple structure rather than the towers, so possibly not considered ‘default blocks’ for the towers.

Note by Asa:

After playing around with the spreadsheet trying to recreate the results that PainStalker got in the below conversation, I found PainStalker was using the following method:
Tower (Sides): NE(N,W,S,E), NW(W,S,E,N), SE(E,N,W,S), SW(S,E,N,W).
Default blocks as 0 and any non-default-block as 1 (so, binary.)
Convert each horizontal stack to binary, resulting in 4 8-long strings of binary.

Convert each 8-long binary string into hex and concatenate the result into a string.

Note by Euphoricfan1161:

I had tried to decode the pillars in base4, and all combinations of base3 and base2, each to ascii.  In all orders of pillars as well as vertically or around each pillar including different possible offsets around each pillar (always top to bottom as well as left to right around).  None of these returned usable strings, most of the time the characters were not even letters/numbers.

Additional Info:
Due to the chat in the SnackersHQ discord being nuked, I (Asa) figured I’d leave my records of the last conversation about the towers that I was a part of. Sadly, I only recorded the messages I thought were relevant to me, as I figured I’d be able to come back to the discord chat later for more context if I needed it. But now that’s impossible.

-----

GummiWyrm:

So im in shremple doing some investigation. The three block types on the pillars are black glass, purple glass, and chiseled blocks. Inside the temple there is a black glass "slot" that contains a chiseled block (and is the only slot that contains a block). The blue glass and white glass are not present in the pillars at all. My first thought was that the chiseled block represented another color, but since it's in the black slot that kinda discounts that idea. I still think we could be looking at layered data between the three block types on the pillars though. I'll try to create a grid representing the different colors.

-----

{I can’t find the message I was responding to... it was about mapping non-Quartz_Pillar-blocks to 1 and Quartz_Pillar-blocks to 0}

Asa Oiralume:

i think we should map it

0 = the common block

1 = the lanterns (cuz they are blue-ish)

2 = the chiseled block

3 = the purple glass

4 = the black glass

at least so we can maintain data fidelity if it's important

Railgun:

The idea is to turn it to binary, 2 states 1 and 0

Asa Oiralume:

i mean for the docs / so other people can try other methods

so we aren't losing data when we record it into the public space

-----

fvb qbza svza aol njtl:

my current line of thinking on the towers is that if it is encoding something it might not be straight forward because the bottom row is all 0's which is kinda pointless

Hadez:

Aw shit. if the columns were 16-bit groups from top to bottom this whole time starting from the corner of the armor stands, I'm going to be sad  (or polybus)

Good theory though ffr.

Raz:

okay so I converted the binary into decimals, then plugged those values in as hexidecimals and it came out with some chinese, so I put that in google translate and got "The sound of the bell echoes through the valley."

{...}

GummiWyrm:

So i tried a couple things with the SW pillar, rearranging the sides (but maintaining "rolled" order). I decided to only work with the chiseled blocks first. Got only one configuration that produced valid ascii characters (ENWS) for a couple of rows. The rest ended up being gibberish. I think that's a point against chiseled blocks alone being anything, at least in the standard horizontal configuration.

dualInfinities:

also "unrolling" the pillars actually clashes with the candle order. which is basically just the standard read order for Japanese? right-to-left, then top-to-bottom

GummiWyrm:

Not sure i understand, how does it clash with candle order?

dualInfinities:

basically

21

43 vs... ***OH GODS D A M N I T the Y range is just the order you read Japanese in***

dualInfinities:

**so for future reference, the candle order is also the Y range, and both are the order you read Japanese in.**

{...}

GummiWyrm:

yeah, i suspect lamps are to be ignored. Need to keep them in mind tho. They could also be an indicator in some way

PainStalker:

so I did the grid from hans image and turned it into binary and the hex of it give us 0892a000 in one of the row which is like our 0x892a.bin folder from blackfile

PainStalker:

row 9 is 00001000100100101010000000000000 which mean 892A000 in hex numbers or 0892A000 <@475017810914050048>

PainStalker:

if you convert every line it give this in Hex

this to decimal gets you: 튣럲펭ᄰ汬ꏀ鱠흀Û䧃൨둧訐

which translates to: "The sound of a bell ringing in the distance" (according to google)

Candles/Text Analysis

• The text “remember.” “ Protect it.”  “Its coming” “Watch it.” was added to the sea lanterns on the four corners shortly after (using invisible armor stands), at or before 7:21 PM PST on 2026/03/17.

• The appearance ordering was checked in a replay by Tanki/@.tanki. in the discord but it is likely bugged, this ordering was found in the replay, see below for original appearance ordering

• Candles matching the interior glass slot colors were found around the corners of the structure.  It has been theorized that the candles are meant to put the words in order, though the original candle locations and interior glass colors have a different word sequence:

Asa’s schizo theory: ‘protect it.’ ‘its coming’ ‘watch it’ ‘remember.’ - no way ‘the great purge’ is ‘it’, right? The instruct to ‘remember’ would fit for this.

IRL Coords Conversion

Coords Calculation

Fog_runner: made progress on reverse engineering the temple location. If I take the exact coordinates someone wrote in the doc (1617 / 30 / 439), translate all of that into binary (11001010001 / 11110 / 110110111), then rewrite that into morse (..--.-.---. /....- /..-..-...  ; 1 as ‘’.’’, 0 as ‘’-’’) then the second and third parts can be transcribed into SET (.../ ./ -) / FREE (..-./ .-./ ./ .), but the first part doesn't work like that. Maybe the ''correct'' coordinates for X are something different

Maybe we need combinations of 3 words that are somehow relevant to the arg (like (?) / SET / FREE). Then the word needs to be translated into morse, then into binary, then into decimal for actual coordinates for the minecraft server.

Altar coords reverse engineering

Then I attempted to do the same with the altar. Coords - (-401 / 101 / -3075). In binary - (110010001 / 1100101 / 110000000011). In morse, without the minuses - (..--.---. / ..--.-. / ..--------..). Tried to keep the minus in the sequence, but X only translates into a coherent word without it - MUST. Y and Z don’t yield anything, possible that they are not exactly “correct”.

So if I try Y = 102 then I get the following words - MEAN, GATE, MUTE, MIME. If I try Y = 103 it results in MUM or MUTT which don’t work at all. The word GATE at least is relevant to death and resurrection. Y = 100 results in MINE, GENE, MERE, MID. Y = 99 results in GUT.

If then I try different X values, X = -397 (with a minus) yields PEAK, ANIMA (the soul).

For clarity: - 397 = - 110001101 = - ..---..-. = ANIMA or PEAK (as coherent somewhat relevant words, ANIMA especially).

Result - (ANIMA / GATE / ?).

This is proof of concept, I didn’t even expect it would work at all. Could be useful.

Take 3 or 2 words that seem relevant together and apply the logic above (word to morse to binary to decimal) and look where it leads. Try synonyms too (like soul and anima).

Update and Scripts

TH3EEuphoricFan1161: As of Apr 9, 2026, I wrote a script to confirm the above results by Fog_runner.  You can find it here: https://github.com/EuphoricFan1161/filianarg_scripts in the “Coords_and_Words” sub dir.  It uses the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and a small supplemental list of words (mostly abbreviations of weekdays and months).  Please feel free to try it yourself and make improvements.

With this script I found that 1617 in the coordinates (1617, 30, 439) (see above) can result in the word “UNTAME”, thus giving (UNTAME, SET, FREE) as a possible set of words.

However, I have found by searching other coordinates that many sets of words may result, seemingly at random.  It is likely there are many false positives using this approach…

Also of note is the convention which to define 0 := ‘-’ and 1 := ‘.’, the opposite assignment is possible as well.  There is also the possibility the leading negative should be prepended to the morse string.  All options may be checked in the script with the -fc and -n options.  The reverse engineering of the temple location and altar coordinates by Fog_runner use different bit assignments, but are consistent in the leading negative (since the temple coordinates have no negative values)

A special thanks to Tyler/@tylerginn_ in the Snackers HQ discord for trying out this code.  Without them I would not have spent more time on this script and would not have found/fixed a bug in the -n option.  If you find any potential bugs please let me know :3

Fog_runner (2.05.2026): just found out you did this, thanks a lot!!!

Word to Coord

Implementation of word-to-coord method. First two coords were the results of reverse engineering (for in depth logic look at “coords calculation” section), others are new .

Coords do not tell whether it’s overworld, nether or the end. The order is X / Y / Z.

If you want to do it yourself, a quick way to do it is to have two tabs opened (https://www.dcode.fr/morse-code ; https://www.dcode.fr/binary-code ).

Important. If word-to-binary result starts with “-” then I treat it as a minus to the decimal result (because first zero doesn’t translate into anything when you do binary-to-decimal). Only then can we get results like ANIMA and ABSENT which give negative coords close to the actual altar of resurrection.

As of yet I don’t know how to treat words like MY ( -- -.--). Is it just (-100) which in decimal is (-4)? The number of minuses is odd so it would make sense. But if the number of minuses is even do they cancel out in the context of morse-to-decimal? Left both variants just in case.

OW - overworld

N - nether

E - the end
