Can anyone provide context as to what this is supposed to be? I got an email that there is a new download available but it appears to be a separate product that is not an update to the Dark Archive file.

Part of a shared cypher apparently.

Ooooh.... so there are 22 apparently, I got one as well.

Mine (2/22) references page 116. it has vagueish circles that match up with the portals in the artwork, if the artwork were reflected.

It also has strip-like sections of brighter color, either very carefully cut out, or perhaps layered cloth (really it looks like tape, but they surely don't have that, right?)

One piece is over Mios' cloak in the art, which lines up with a bizzarely bright silvery spot, insinuating that the Mios being brought back to the material plane by Quinn is actually a Reflection. Soim, for lack of a better name.

The second piece covers a spot amidst the text on the left column. It correlates to where it says "Or are there more out there?"

Lost Pages 1-3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 19-21 are all known quantities at the moment, and all but 19 have been conclusively solved. They seem to be going out to subscribers at regular times during Paizo office hours. The most active group working on solving this is the PF2 subreddit's official Discord server.

My working theory is that all of the pages will be released by wednesday, which is the end of the month and when new product pages go up - potentially connecting the reveal of the Lost Pages to a new book. We'll see!

19 feels mostly solved to me, in that the text is clearly "I suppose" I just can't figure out if some of the stars in the Gemini constellation are supposed to be over letters. One time I lined them up and got "fear gil" but it didn't line up perfectly.

I believe the snarl is that it’s the only Lost Page where the border doesn’t match the page in Dark Archive. The text it seems to highlight makes sense, but that one mismatched detail is driving some folks batty.

I looked at it inverted too, but it doesn’t make any sense that way

I guess this is related to the rust, worms and spiders hint maybe? Either way so I'm bit lost on what I read from reddit, but I understood that its hinting at ancient evil being at Absalom or something?(which tbh isn't that surprising in sense that there seems to be ancient evil almost everywhere in trpg settings x'D But yeah super curious what this is about)

With all the lost pages solved so far, this is the all the text put together with assumed grammar:

Lost Pages wrote:

"The files have to be connected in some way. Every question has an answer worth finding. Are there more out there? Over years of observing with the mind.... just one more conspiracy.

Some sort of connection with a... in that space within my memories...evil and malevolence happily feast...., leaving the mortal at a loss.... an ancient being of nightmare. To destroy... I can't. I must continue hiding in Absalom..."

This gives me the ultimate Darkest Dungeon vibes and I am so here for it.

Dislike these treasure hunts in practice but thoroughly enjoy that other people dig them.

Just finally downloaded mine.

13/22. Are we supposed to share these somewhere? Is there a central location?

Ah - reddit. I still have not embraced thee. Will head to Paizo Discord.

Here's my hint, for anyone still looking to solve this. And yes, the Reddit or Discord are going to be involved.
