I'm pretty sure I didn't insist anyone follows any theory. If you read what I said it says non-objective searches there better results than seeking specific results which can always be twisted to suit your findings.what not your findings specifically, but I feel like in the scientific community that's common knowledge. if you read further I also said I wasn't trying to discredit anything. I was simply asking a question. you don't have to take offense to someone not knowing WHY you're saying what you're saying.

There are no clues, so people make up clues to keep themselves busy.

Just sit back and enjoy the show :)
 
Camelopardalis constellation was the answer to a riddle kicked out by a cobra 3 found near the tionisla orbiting cemetery. Big reference to tdw novella. Worth a shot I would say

It wasn't the answer, it was part of the clue:

"The vain queen rides a giraffe that remembers her daughter's hero".

Cameleopardalis is the giraffe, Cassiopeia is the queen and Perseus was the hero.
The 'answer' such that anyone ever figured out, was "Over there", pointing in the direction of the Formidine Rift.

But feel free to chase down Rift clues, despite anything I say ;)
 
Apparently the Raxxla symbol floating around with 18 dashes should be discounted as a "fake".

The one in the game referenced in the codex may be the one with 33 dashes, but given it's representation in the game codex, it is only "assumed" to have 33 dashes, as you cannot count them but there are more than 18.

So, unless someone has some official proof that the one we should consider as the true Raxxla image (in the game codex) having 33 dashes is the official one, we should assume so.

Could I ask (again) why we're considering the Raxxla image to be a clue, when the Dark Wheel and Colonia images share a common motif?
 
Never heard of this, please tell me more?

After reading the dark wheel novella I decided to try to follow Ryder's path in game as best I could. I gave up immediately because the tionisla orbital cemetery isn't in game. But there is a beacon that says some info. Apparently it lead to the formadine rift stuff. I always thought it odd that it would be tdw/raxxla based clues leading to not tdw/raxxla based results. As such, I've had difficulty dismissing it all together. We never know back what's what. Formadine rift mystery might have been the start of leading to more but Idk personally. Havent found that stuff yet and only seen it on YouTube.
 
Never considered it a clue. I was replying to numbers offered by others in reference to the symbol, and playing with primes and fibonacci numbers. Others may consider it a clue, but I have not found any reference anywhere as to "why" this symbol is related to Raxxla at all. One day, it was posted, and forever more, associated with Raxxla.

So, the proper question should be: "Does anyone have any knowledge of where this symbol came from, or why it is associated with Raxxla lore at all?"

Just courious....

o7....
It came from fdev in the codex entry for raxxla. How does that not automatically associate it?
 
The last couple of pages have been entertaining (as are they all), but don’t forget this puzzle has been in-game since the beginning. I think the solution, and the way to find it, is going to be blindingly obvious once we find it.

That was the attraction of my last (failed) hypothesis-BH have been in from the outset, and it fits the omphalos, Astrophel/Stella etc hints. These have been given to us recently to help us find it; either we need to find it because we’re holding up the storyline ( probably thargoids, unfortunately) or because FD are tired of us floundering around. I’m convinced it’s going to be based on a quite simple mechanism.

Alternatively, FDev knew that there'd be a 💩storm if they didn't put Raxxla and TDW into the Codex, and consequently put in a load of generalized fluff just to pad it out to a page. Bear in mind that every piece of information in the Raxxla codex is followed by the caveat 'yeah, but that's probably garbage', including Astrophel and Stella. Plus the TDW codex is followed up with "Looking for them is pointless anyway".

To me, it doesn't look like FDev are wanting us to find either Raxxla or the TDW - they seem quite content for us to carry on spinning our wheels indefinitely.

Edit:
The one time that FDev DID want us to find something quickly the clues required nothing more than a bit of Googling and a vague knowledge of DrewW's previous work. Even then, we got directly helped to make sure we got the right answer.
