So here we go.

It's very hard, it requires a lot of thinking and knowledge.

But I think it's worth it.

GO ON ADVENTURE FOR SKYRIM

The giveaway ends 28 July so you've got a loooooot of time.

Good luck, have fun, and I hope you'll learn something doing this :3

Pro tips:


FAQ:
Q: I DID IT, WHERE IS MY SKYRIM SCUM???!?!?
A: Everything is there. But not all bits are useful.

Q: Is it fake?
A: No, it's just hard.

bump for solved...nice one...forget the 66 hint - just go for the 2 LSB

I am, i've even made a program to convert all pixels to bits(2 LSB) and then converted bits to ascii, but no...

exclude the header or the first 2 bytes, be sure to get 2 bits of each byte, not each pixel (3 bytes)

yeah me too lol... i can't even figure out @bolzano's hint. ok so do we need to convert something(like pixels to bit or anything else)?

i can only repeat whats already written:
each pixel gets you 3 bytes (use hex editor), take last 2 bits of each byte to assemble the bytes of the ga link

easy to say when you work with these stuffs :)

good luck to whoever got it , for me it's like finding the needle in the haystack.

you can read into the necessary stuff within 10-20 minutes on wikipedia, its not that hard.

easy to say when you know nothing about coding , isin't it?

Even wikipedia won't help you.

This is my first time attempting to do something like this so I'd appreciate any help. Ok, I'm in the hex editor, I see where the pixels are, but I can't understand what I'm supposed to do with what I see there. I take the last 2 bits of each byte but I feel there's something I'm missing here, shouldn't I need another 2 bits to make a byte? Everything I try gets me nowhere... u_u

2 bits of 4 bytes give you a new byte

Solution was already posted numerous times. All what you need is either some basic probramming skills or patience (if you go with hex + calculator + ascii table route).

Yeah, well, with Szatan practically giving away the solution in its entirety I wonder what keeps people from entering it. Without hints, it's a fun challenge, with them, it's just a matter of following suit. Your call of course, Szatan.

Well, it should be hard, not impossible. I know I rushed a bit with the most important information, but... what frightens me the most, is that currently only 686 out of 1044 people have passed the first part >.>

I mean hints in the comments; it wasn't impossible at all. And yeah, I know what you mean X)

You either need to have lots of patience or be a programmer !

Meh, been trying all night now. The only output i get with forging new bytes out of the last two bits doesn't get me anywhere. All output is too high to be a char. Off to take a sleep. Enjoy your free bump :)

I don't have that much time to do it now, I'll post in in few days, unless someone else (maybe the winner?) wants to do it ;-)

I don't remember it very well either, and i'm a little busy to go back into detail, but basically, if you open the picture in a hex editor, and start from the 66th position (I guess... Don't remember if in decimal or hex), get every next hex, type it into the windows calculator in programmer mode (or you can convert it to binary using whatever else you'd like). Get the 2 last bits from the binary "translation" and paste them somewhere else. Do that many times (don't remember how many times) and eventually, you'll get the full URL for the giveaway when you convert the binary that's created from that process to ASCII.

I hope that makes sense...
