Except for the 2nd and 3rd steps, the instructions are pretty much laid out for you. Hint for the end: both giveaways are are given at the end of the string. Just take the first 5 (noticeable) characters for the first and the last 5 for the second.

Same :/ Tried going back to different steps but nothing from any of them.

I'm not sure what hints I can give that wouldn't just give away the whole thing. shockedfrog has the right idea though. Go back a couple of steps and apply.

You look at the picture and interpret what it wants you to do o.o

Sounds right to me. Perhaps some of what you think is gibberish is not?

Two giveaways. No contributor required. Ends in ~5 days. This is not a group puzzle. No sharing answers/hints or asking for outside help.

Solution:
Image linked in the OP suggests to look in the source. There is an imgur link hidden there.
Bucket fill with white to get
Use the Pigpen Cipher (##XX) to translate. You get
rotthirteen(string of stuff)
As suggested, perform a rot-13 shift on the rest of the string to get
atbash(string of stuff)
As suggested, perform an atbash decode on the text to get the following:
imgurmmtcapUcapLcapMcapY(string of stuff)
This leads you do this imgur link, a picture of a mirror. This suggests for you to reverse something. You can proceed in two ways from here. Either translate the rest of the string back into pigpen code, reverse, and then translate. Or you can go back to the original code, reverse it, apply rot-13 and atbash to get:
imgurcapVoccapNmthreecapC(string of stuff)
Now you have this picture. It tells you to rotate the pigpen code 90 degrees counterclockwise. Once you do that, convert the pigpen back to english and you will get the following string:
capWponesixzerocapKcapWcapTjcapD
Thus, the two giveaways are
