There were 3 codes found on the Flash Shard post on the Investigation Blog.
[1] r9h6jneiw9gsf5
[2] 4fgb4hgilmtb6f1g
[3] 8i75rlsb2spsjbos
Code #1
Observations
The code looks like the passcode format, but backwards:
5fsg9wienj6h9r
However, wien isn’t a keyword.
[hint]
Wien is the German name for Vienna. Perhaps there’s something special happening there.
[/hint]
The Acolyte made an appearance in Vienna for Obsidian. acolyte
is a keyword.
5fsg9acoyltej6h9r
Code #2
Observations
The code is in the normal passcode format but there is a 1
in the code.
Applying atbash to the code:
6uty6strongy4u9t
The code is still invalid, there is one more step. The opposite of strong is weak:
6uty6weaky4u9t
Code #3
The code has a string length of 16, which can be in a 4×4 transposition:
8i75
rlsb
2sps
jbos
Reading top-down from the top-right corner:
5bss7spoilsb8r2j
The code is still invalid. There is a phrase: to the victor goes the spoils, victor is a keyword:
5bss7victorb8r2j
The code is still invalid! Victor Kureze is a character in the Ingress world.
5bss7kurezeb8r2j
