On October 2, 2022, Embark Studios CCO Rob Runesson posted an image of half of a QR code and a messageː "HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0O"^[1]^[2] (this has been edited for brevity, the full message was over 400 characters long). Later that day, hunters noticed that the 19th character in "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0O" was the number 0, not the letter O.^[3] Soon afterwards, hunters separately decoded the original half-QR code and found a new URL on the official THE FINALS website: reachthefinals.com/tfee_level2^[4] (this address was later replaced by reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2). On the page was a GIF of Nama Tama saying that Level Two - "The Promise" was loading. Just one minute later, the URL reachthefinals.com/gooooooooooooooooo was discovered using the first 18 characters of "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0O" in Rob's earlier message.^[5] It contained the image "SneakyQR", a new quarter of the QR code that led to the Level Two URL, although this was no longer needed. It was also found that reachthefinals.com/tfee redirected to the Level Two URL.

On October 4, hunters noticed that reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 was active, with all 9 tiers locked. Tier 2ABC and Tier 2DEF were originally separated like the other tiers, before being moved to share the same row.
