RIMO - Beckham Williamson


Introduction

BW-ARG first appeared at July 7th, 2024 as a Youtube video and presents itself as a "test" for players to solve in order to advance to the next stage.


The final video, "THE END", hints that this ARG will no longer receive any updates since July 31st, 2024.

The morse code in the video (..-) represents the letter "U", which is the missing character needed to obtain the complete link.

Decode the phrase above with Caesar cipher. As for the shift number, that can be bruteforced depending on what website you use.


The decrypted text is "JOHN ELEVEN THIRTYFIVE". The Bible verse (John 11:35) says, "Jesus wept".


Once enough people gave out the correct answer at the time this video was uploaded, GM revealed the Youtube link to the next stage.

Enable CC to get a hint on how to decipher the text above. Cpvctevke Vtgcva is also encrypted in Caesar, which is translated to "Antarctic Treaty". The text is in a A/B format, where "A" represents the nth word and "B" represents the nth letter of the word. Using The Antarctic Treaty as reference, start from "The Governments of..." to decrypt the text.


HELLO TRAVLER, CRACK THIS:


"OUT OF THE EATER, COM ES MEAT.


OUT OF THE STRONG COMES SOMETHING SWEAT


The phrase originates from Samson's riddle. The answer to the riddle is "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?"


Just like the previous stage, you also had to comment the answer on the video and wait for the next stage to show up.

B4, B3, E1, G2


Around 0:11~0:12, a chart shows up for a single frame:


a1=1, b1=2, c1=3, d1=4, e1=5, f1=6, g1=7, h1=8


a2=9, b2=10, c2=11, d2=12, e2=13, f2=14, g2=15, h2=16


a3=17, b3=18, c3=19, d3=20, e3=21, f3=22, g3=23, h3=24


a4=25, b4=26


Using the chart above, the chess coordinates translate to "ZREO". The missing charatcer for the Google Form link is "0".

Internet Code Form 1

Two consistent digits stand alone, yet unified.


Subtract the first from the second, then multiply by the sum,


Only then will the answer come.


The pattern found across all previous videos is that they all last for 38 seconds (Youtube might display it as 37 or 39), which are the "two consistent digits".


Subtract the first from the second (8-3=5), then multiply it by the sum (5*11=55), and now you have the answer needed to complete the question.


The form will give you a link to the next stage.

On archive.org, search up "CL7-001" to find a document titled "T.O.R.A. - CL7 - 001" so it can be used as reference to decode the A/B cipher. GM said that he messed up with the writing process and made the document unusable. That isn't to say that this stage is completely unsolvable.


The "://" indicates that the phrase contains a link, so 11/2 = H, 2/1 = T, 29/1 = P, and 10/2 = S.


Keep in mind that GM usually starts his video with "hello web surfer", so 5/1 = E, 16/2 = L, 1/4 = O, 12/1 = W, 87/2 = B, 7/2 = U, 4/1 = R, and 49/1 = F.


HELLO WEB SURFER

HTTPS://L 6/2 24/4 HESS.OR 22/3 @THE_P 2/2 W 3/2 _E 9/2 PEROR


We now know that the website likely has a ".org" ending, the last word should spell out "emperor", and searching up "l??hess org" leads you to a website called "lichess.org".


HELLO WEB SURFER


GO

The last missing word requires some guesswork to figure it out, but it's "pawn".

Around 0:15, there's a split-second frame of a coordinate, which apparently points towards the Lincoln Monument Association. You're supposed to take this clue as an indication to use The Gettysburg Address to decipher the phrase above.


I couldn't make out the entire coords, so what I did was guess the first two words as "go to", ran every incomplete words through a Wordle tool, and narrowed down which A/B corresponds to which letter until I got the complete phrase.

Use the two deciphered words to obtain the completed link.



Note: You only need the game ID to locate the Roblox game, so finding "MENT" isn't required.


The T.O.R.A. Labyrinth Experiment

Once you join the game, you start at the middle of a maze. The quickest way to find the exit is to head to the nearest maze "outer" border wall and walk along the wall until you find the exit. Once you go through the exit door, you'll find a Youtube link written on a sign.

Take every letter right before "BECKHAM". That spells out "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ACHARONIM".


Only two characters are required to obtain the complete link, so take the first letters from the first two words (AI).

When the first plane flies,


and the first structure dies,


is the time of day added to the number of life, the universe, and everything


The first two lines of the riddle are referring to the time when the first plane hit the Twin Towers () and the last line is referring to The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (42). Add them together (846+42=888) to get the answer of the riddle.
