I've spent a lot of time reading posts and exploring ascension, and I believe that no one is even close to a secret room or fourth lander, I think this is very little of the giant scheme of things, there's just too much that would go unaccounted for if finding a room or lander was this simple. And I have several small theories but one that I haven't seen posted anywhere is anything to do with these tube kind of things found on the map. Like if you look to the right of the door to the Stamin-Up Lander Pad you see the REPAIR sign which I believe hints to repairing something like a fourth lander or something along those lines. But under the yellow sign, there are two circles that look as though they can hold tubes, and if you look directly across there's a generator box sort of thing with tubes that are not attached to anything and just laying in the water. So maybe a certain step is to throw a gersh and connect the two, I'm not sure. Also around the map scattered there are other tubes and boxes like in spawn there is the same two circle tube host kind of thing with one tube attached, but any of these might help with the REPAIR of some mechanism like the man says when the game starts. I'm not exactly sure what the "mechanism" is, but I was thinking either the spinning machine in spawn or a fourth lander or something, but I don't know. And I do think the Cosmic Silverback and monkeys will come into play at one point in Ascension, because there is just a lot supporting the appearance of the Cosmic Silverback. I've tried to explore and look at numbers or signs found on the map and I've come up with a lot but I figured I'd post some ideas on here because I haven't been able to make many useful connections, and possibly someone else could, but I just have a bunch of ideas and theories about the map, nothing too useful. So let me know what you guys think!

hmmm nice 1 posts btw! but interesting!

On every other map in black ops you have been able to pick something up, on kino it was the film reels, on five it was the power box. Has anyone tired to pick anything up on ascension? I'm not sure what you would be picking up but no one has brought this up before so I thought I would throw this out there. I have been looking into this easter egg ever since I first heard about it and I now decided to join the discussion.

Also something I found out is that you do not need the upgraded crossbow or the crossbow at all! Me, my brother and a friend of ours (after our four player left) had two pap'd ray guns, the thunder gun, the dolls and the gersch device, and it worked for us.

A couple more things I have noticed, when using the landers to spell luna there is an R in the sky. the only codes that we can confirm are LUNA, HITSAM, and HYENA. None of these have an R in them, maybe the R has something to do with it or maybe its just there to fill space. The R is found when going from phd to swamp.

every time i hear someone say "maybe the sign next to stamina up with the tools means you have to fix something" it does mean that but its talking about what you need to fix to set the guy free. how could people be so stupid to not knowing that. for instance at the spawn there are no signs for the spinny thing in the room, but right outside the door. meaning its in the room. same with the tool sign its saying in the next room is something you need to fix. and that's the thing to activate all the nodes. people are so stupid

Bless your heart speed preech

awesome..i cant wait to get this figured out

First of all I have not been able to stop following this easter egg, and the theories that the community has come up with. I know so many have been copied or thought to be original and found that they were not the first. With that being said I know what I suggest may not be original. But I have yet to hear of other people's attempts.

Since so many believe the DM to be a false ending, where could we have made the mistake? Or if there is going to be an update what will that change/ unlock?

Now where I believe we need to focus our attention is on the letters? Who's to say it is only one word that needs to be spelled? And not a sentence? Or that letters cant be re-used? Maybe even using a combination of russian, and english words?

Again I know its not exactly anything solid. But maybe there is something there?

sounds like a good theory

If anyone has not noticed that whirring/buzzing noise for each part of the nodes.

In the room where phd is you can hear it real good signaling the generator.

The buttons on the wall during a monkey round.

The plate in PAP room you need to stand on.

The lunar landers when you need to spell luna.

The ORB when you need to free the spirit.

After I got the death machines I searched the whole board and never heard any more of those noises for clues.

The only interesting thing that perks out is the "4th lander" location by PAP Room next to that outside mystery box. The only downside is it is connected to the sleight of hand window which makes me think it is just an elaborate decoration....

Edit forgot to mention the only other thing that I noticed that no one posted was picking up the red phones when they ring. Turning on all of the radio's and finding all of the matrshkya dolls through out the board.

Can the letters be collected more than once because if they can why doesent someone try spelling out samantha.

Sickle to stamina up- A
Home to sickle- N
Stamina to Home- U
Home to Stamina- L
stamina to Sickle- H
Sickle to Home- I
ph to home- E
Home to ph- T
stamina to ph- M
Ph to stamina- R
Sickle to Ph- Y
ph to sickle- S

It is not possible to do in order but if u call the lander with no one on it to your desired section it shouldent collect the letter.

So you could go
1. ph to sickle-S
2. sickle to stamina up-A
3. stamina to ph-M
4. call it to sickle with no one on it
5. sickle to stamina up-A
6. call to home with no one on it
7. home to sickle-N
8. call to home with no one on it
9. home to ph-T
10. call to stamina up with no one on it
11. stamina up to sickle-H
12. sickle to stamina up-A

Also 12 letters and 12 steps
