Lent Giveaway [SOLUTION]

Closed

Hi,

Just got the feeling of repaying the community for all my wins up till now.

It's non bundle game with no CV, should be lasting for 2 days.
Hope SG didn't go down for maintenance for the time being

Have fun :)

Use view source code / inspect element and you will find a hidden link to http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/TUlqYOt8
This is the solution for ITH puzzle
Upon finishing ITH, a hint appears "Go to my old Max; because Max is in pain; poor Max". This is referring to Max Payne game, and by "my old Max" is to check my SG profile to see my previous giveaway for Max Payne related game
There you will find "a key" N n F Z R U w y S g = =. Simply remove the spaces and by the character "==" usually means it's a 64-bit encoded message. So go here and decode it to get another meaningless text 6qYEL2J
That meaningless text is 7 characters, and 7 characters usually means an imgur link as stated on my ITH puzzle question #9. So go to imgur
It says "it is not HERE.go outside". Outside here is outside of the image. See the image title? RiESzYU
Wow! Another 7 characters, which means another imgur
Voila! There's your 5 characters SG giveaway link. It's either EHEjw or wjEHE

That's it. this is the real [giveaway link] (www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/wjEHE) :)

Thanks for all participants :D Really appreciate the effort.

I got the key, I decrypted it == style (No spoiler xD) and got a new key that is not either an Steamgifts giveaway, an Steamgifts forum post and an itstoohard puzzle (EDIT: REEDIT xD). Now I'm trying to decrypher it again randomly, removing letters and stuff but I get nothing. Is there something logic to do with that decrypted key? Or I must continue doing random stuff 'til I get it?
