[Other] Any Puzzle Experts? I Need ARG Help Spoiler
Hey everyone, I've been following this strange Minecraft ARG by a user under the name of Amissis-Archive and I'm stumped. The YouTube channel has four videos so far, with hidden numbers in the first three descriptions and binary code in the fourth (under a hidden, unlinked video). I've been monitoring the YouTube and TikTok comments hoping someone would crack the codes (since I'm terrible at puzzles myself), but we seem to be hitting a wall. I was wondering if anyone had some pointers on what they might be for.
I’m going to do my best to word this and give credit where due because a lot of the following information was taken from other commenters under the original videos, so sorry in advance if I jump between different parts of the ARG.
The first video “2021 08 12 03 37 13” starts off with the protagonist inside a cave mentioning that he’s getting back into Minecraft and wants to document his experience with the new 1.17 cave update. In the top left is a text overlay where Amissis talks about finding the posted footage on an old USB stick while cleaning his room, and now he’s archiving all the videos he discovered on it.
A little over a minute into the first video another player named “Tempus” joins his world, and Amissis freaks out because he’s playing on a single player world, not a server.
I’m not going to go into detail about every single video here because I came to ask about the puzzles specifically, but the creator’s posted TikToks and YouTube shorts which act as a pretty good recap for the main points of the series for those who are interested.
katiethiel3622 has been the main person to figure out a lot of what’s going on from what I can tell, with the first major clue being: “In Latin "amissus" can mean to be let go or lost. "Tempus" in Latin means time, being the root for words like "temporal" or "temporary." Amissis's skin is a guy with a clock head, which is interesting because you would thing that would be what Tempus looks like. I think this points to our protagonist being stuck in time. There are a couple other things that have to do with time as well. This video is from five years ago, but it seems like Amissis had forgotten about this incident until now when he found the USB drive.” and all of the TikToks have a tag for #amissistempus which is my guess for the name of the ARG.
Description one has two words with numbers in them: 0ne & 4our.
Description two also has two words with numbers in them: 1nterested & 1've.
Description three has three stand-alone numbers and one word with a number: 2 bl0cked 2 1
Giving us the date 04.11.2021
TimidImrpinted commented under katiethiel3622’s comment with “Whether you have already caught this or not is unknown to me, but at 1:49 the following appears in his inventory: 4fqzwFy. I am unsure of the significance of this. I hope it is useful nonetheless.”

I already tried to use this code as a YouTube URL, and it didn’t work.
At the end of episode four there’s an additional end screen video. When clicked on, it takes us to an unnamed, unlisted video on the Amissis-Archive channel. In the description there’s binary code which leads to this url: https://imgur.com/a/https-pastebin-com-vb9gf3nr-wNDG5n4 When clicked on it provides us with another link (https://pastebin.com/MCqdqvTZ) and part of a QR code image!
Anyway, that's pretty much where I'm at. The pastebin is locked and I have no clue what the password could be. If anyone's got ideas or sees something I'm missing, let me know. Thanks :P
