For "Time Lord." and "You've got mail.": You need to beat Ep 1 and 2, then start a new Ep1 game and get to the brucedayton> prompt, but do NOT run the "unlock" command where you enter the birthday or it won't work. Then ssh ariannemoon with your computer's non-NTP clock set to November 22nd, 1988 and run "generate". You can then exit and return to another save.

For Konami Code and Resistance go to https://mucomplex.com/validate/5893647679456912/access.txt and do the thing it tells you ( After lighting only the left lamp on Yacine's puzzle then typing "unlock", go to the main menu and press Up, Up, Enter, Down, Down, Enter, M, U, Enter which is the modified code )

Can get the "Massive lurker." achievement by re-entering a completed Episode 2 save and going through each computer one at a time and cat'ing all files until you get it. Going to the mainframe with all 4 tools will not make Lya lock you out from maneuvering around the network.

For the Special needs. achiev, you can follow up your ls/cat in your finished Episode 2 save with hint, and using an elevated linux command: date --set="30 minutes" allows you to advance your non-NTP synchronized system time by the given amount to skip the waiting. Olivier Riddle and Glen Risson's machines may have two sequential hint waiting periods.

@denpao
The password for that .mp3 is "sterilizecomplex", which will get you an achievement. In order to get it, you literally have to collect every, single, weird extra character off the end of every dated document in the whole episode or game, order it according to date, and run that long string through a base64 decoder (on most linux systems). It would be one of the most difficult things you can try if it wasn't hardcoded.

For the "Faster than light." achievement, @mks2exe was right on the previous comment page, and the in-game hint is accurate to this solution as well.

<†>Baigle1<†>™ 13 May @ 7:18am

I actually wrote a whole xdotool program for the specific challenges that needed a lot of typing before realizing that...

@kschang77
The best solution for the challenges is to press the up arrow to get the command history back out, and takes only a few seconds total as the challenge command, pipes, and solve command perform the whole thing automatically

Maybe it's the audio file from this guide: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1667958441

denpao 5 Mar, 2023 @ 10:37am

Any idea for the password to yacinehouri mp3 file? Is it a secret file or easter egg?
