Welcome to this post we hope you find our Placid Plastic Duck Simulator – Guide to Terminal Secret Guide to be useful.

Here’s a way to satisfy your curiosity and get a sneak peek at the newest secret in Hippospace.
 

Back to the Bunker

You will see a set of dominoes if you switch your view to the table. Please take note of it.

Hover over the spoiler below to reveal the arrangement if you have switched to Hippospace Download.

 

The Terminal

Switch your view on the Hippospace Download Map to the giant robot, which is a duck launcher. You will also find a terminal, the only thing other than the large button used to launch a rocket. (This may be why you opened this guide).

The terminal will ask for a username.

Username:

We will return to this area later.

Red Dashboard

Wait until the arm retracts. There is a large tube that leads to a large dome-shaped area.

After it has been retracted, you can switch to the view of a duck entering the tube through the entrance. (This may not be necessary!) Enjoy the view and when the duck enters, switch to the dashboard.

You will find on the right-hand side of the dashboard a hatch that can be opened by pressing a button. The monitor duck will launch when you press the button.

Monitor Duck

It starts out with a duck’s face, but then the screen shows its name. The name is written in the pigpen cipher. Use this diagram to decipher the letters by using the shapes around them

This is the username you need to enter into the terminal. If you can’t figure it out, then it is probably not the username.

g.toto.

If you are looking at the large arrangement of light on the dashboard, use the domino arrangement (disregarding the leftmost piece) and enter the combination. The lower screen on the right will reveal a string of alphanumeric characters. It is the password.

The Long Code

Enter the username and password at the terminal.

You will see a command-line interface. Refer to the manual provided since there is no command help and ?.

CD Changes the current directory.
DIR Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory.
LS DIR for Unix(-like) nerds, does the same thing.
OPEN Displays the contents of a file.

Notes:

• Entering the name of a file as a command will run it
• To go up in a directory, enter cd ..
• File names and commands are case-sensitive, but commands are not.
• Change to a directory in order to list it (cd, dir, or ls as a second).
• The path cannot be linked with .. as ../log

If you have trouble navigating the file system, look at the tree.

If you need further assistance, please refer to the

section. If the text is bolded, it is output from the previous command.

You must read all files containing information relevant to the secret.

1. Take note of the contents of the sounds directories and files.
2. Read the contents of forsaken folder Texture.db
3. Take note of the contents of the log error log.
4. Skip to the Assembling the code Section

Open the Sounds directory and check the contents.

OPEN Displays the contents of a file.

The open command can be used to read the (simplified version of) the contents of each sound file.

.
├── log
├── sounds
│   ├── 1.midi
│   ├── 2.midi
│   └── 3.midi
├── sys
├── forsaken folder
└──── Texture.db

Note down the contents in the files based on the outputs of the open commands.

Open Texture.db > forsaken folder.

cd sounds
dir

This will lead to an error.

1.midi
2.midi
3.midi
open 1.midi
open 2.midi
open 3.midi

You will see a new file in the log directory:

cd ..
cd forsaken folder
open Texture.db

 

The file is corrupted!

Now, you can read it using the open (note that it is unique to each player) command:

cd ..
cd log
dir

 

error.log

 

Assembling code

Refer to the contents of MIDI file. Use the G note position to fill in the channel string.

The position is the order in which the notes are arranged, ex. in F-A-C-G-A#-F, it is the 4th note, so the number to fill is 4.

The numbers are 1.midi and X. 2.midi is Y. 3.midi is Z. The numbers are

2, 6 and 4., respectively.

Replace each X,Y andZ in this format.

• Original:

open error.log

• New:

  -error.log-
  channel: GX...XGY...YGZ...Z###

Use this alphanumeric sequence to name your monitor duck.

The Fun Part

Now you’re ready to unlock The Secret!

Return to the terminal. A new file has been dropped into the directory sys. Check it out:

GXXXXGYGZZ847

 

G2222G6G44847

Ooh, interesting! Now, let’s do it!

cd ..
cd sys
dir

Congratulations! Congratulations!
