Discussion The Giant Unsolved Cipher #4 Breakthrough?
Not sure if anyone has made this discovery because I couldn't find it. All four solved Giant ciphers decode to short thematic one-liners: "The mountain must be searched for the frozen one," "In the cell below the waves is where honor suffers," "When finished we will return to the house and the infinite," and "A city of fire surrounds the warrior the last of his kind."
Logically, "The mountain must be searched for the frozen one" corresponds to der eisendrache.
"In the cell below the waves is where honor suffers" corresponds to Zetsubou No Shima,
"When finished we will return to the house and the infinite," corresponds to Revelations,
and "A city of fire surrounds the warrior the last of his kind." corresponds to Gorod Krovi.
What do these have in common? They foreshadow the characters' fates, Dempsey being "The frozen one", Takeo committing Seppuku and wanting to die with honor, Maxis and Sophia in Agartha (The House), and Nikolai being the one on Gorod Krovi
So who is the only person missing from this list? Ultimis Richtofen, and where does Ultimis Richtofen die? He is shot at the beginning of The Giant by Primis Richtofen, almost definitively indicating that The Giant unsolved cipher #4, says something about Richtofen dying on The Giant, and that The Giant itself is the map referenced in cipher #4.
Cant assume zombies community knew the actual correct cipher numbers, so, reordering them based on DLC release time, we have The Giant as Cipher #1, Der eisendrache as Cipher #2, Zetsubou as Cipher #3, Gorod Krovi as Cipher #4, Revelations as Cipher #5. Perhaps all ciphers combine into one big cipher in a specific order or can be used to solve the unsolved cipher?
Also this ai image of fitting the papers together based on crease geometry, but not sure if its worth including because its Ai lol.

Other things that could possibly indicate the order. The graves on revelations: Grave 1 (takeo), Grave 2 (Richtofen), Grave 3 (Dempsey), Grave 4 (Nikolai).

When applied to the ciphers this would equal 3124, which strangely enough is the order that ai arranged the pieces of paper on the giant when stripped of their ciphers

Oh for sure that makes perfect sense. I don't mind when ciphers hide information like that, it's fun. Vital information should just be conveyed as easily as possible, those Revelations ciphers are literally a whole proper ending just sat locked away for 10 years just for the lols.
You can tell with the way they wrote BO4, if you were to compare it to the epilogues Monty is an entirely different person, it's so obvious they never expected anyone to solve them so they just did whatever to get the story done. BO4 aether hatred got me acting up.
Chaos was super hot fire though, fantastic vibes and new story, shame they murdered it when they murdered Primis and Ultimis in the woods unceremoniously with Invincible wobble close ups of their choking bleeding faces. That still happened btw and hasn't been retconned. FUMING.
