Jason Blundell is a madman and while progress was actually made on this for real just a few months back, it didnt lead anywhere. We even got a real mathematician involved. No dice.

It’s interesting as the rest of the cyphers on the Giant reference the maps of which the dlcs are. It’s interesting that they all refer to the main cast except Richthofen since he doesn’t have a map where you get his soul, except that the Giant was where Richthofen killed his other self. So I wonder if it could be referring to the Giant Easter egg?

turns out it’s meaningless, his cat was laying on the keyboard right as he finalized the game. great marketing.

sorta unrelated, but remember when mainstream games like COD had easter eggs? not just a reference in a line of dialogue, but an entirely programmed hidden goodie that was added purely because the devs were having fun, and that they knew only like .1% of players would stumble upon on their first playthrough.

Are we sure it’s not just random letters? How do we know there’s a secret message
It’s a hidden .wav file most likely a hidden audio log like the last Easter egg that were eventually identified by community decoders as part of a larger set of encrypted sound files that, once combined and decrypted, revealed audio logs between Dr. Richtofen and Dr. Maxis.

Edit: Claude was convinced this was right but after trying to recreate the solution myself in python it isn’t working. Leaving here to warn of the dangers of LLMs. Original message below.
“The Giant – A message from Dr. Ludvig Maxis, dated January 4th, 1943. It seems the experiment is a success. The acquisition of the test subjects went as planned. I fear now more than ever that the DG-2 will be used as a weapon of war and will lead to untold catastrophes. I can only hope that in my death, the truth will be revealed and the tragedy of this place will be exposed”
This is a reference to Call of Duty: Black Ops III’s Zombies mode. “The Giant” is a zombies map, and this appears to be one of the story elements Treyarch included in the game. The message relates to the game’s alternate timeline narrative involving Dr. Maxis and the DG-2 (Die Glocke/Wonder Weapon).

This message is:
Edward, as you know, I have been working with Group 935 for some time. Their experiments with Element 115 are incredible. The breakthroughs have allowed us to create many new ‘toys’, but I am afraid they are simply going too far.
Their plans to weaponize 115 and its effects are insane. I have seen the test results. We are dealing with forces we do not understand. I have left you a key. It’s hidden in the mainframe. You must find it. You must stop them.

There’s actually dozens of cyphers and puzzles still left unsolved for BO3 zombies, the big one being called the “Ultimate Easter Egg” theorists and hunters have made minor progress over the years, and the devs of the game have long since said these mysterious include great story info

The 192 character unsolved message is:

Any speculation on what it might be?

It ends up giving you the code to my luggage
Somebody already solved it. It wasnt as cool as you would think. [My Programmer Dad Solved the TrehArch Encrypted Code!](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Tx4DHfxHMnZhGt_1)
My guess: “Nice work, The Giant would be proud. Now, go solve the next one.”
Theirs also a cipher on shadows of evil which was never solved either and probably never will not to mention the still unsolved super ee

This always happens in games. Eventually, it will get leaked by a developer after quite some time.
