“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”
The following article/section contains spoilers.
Zariman ARG (placeholder name) is an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) that took place from April 18, 2022. All date and times will be in UTC.
Discovery
On April 18, 2022 14:10 UTC, WARFRAME's official Facebook account posted a new image with the title[1]:
Catch up on all the exciting anno01110100 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110100 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100001 01101110 01111001 01101111 01101110 01100101 00100000 01100111 01100101 01110100 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00111111
In ASCII, the binary message decodes to: "testing testing is anyone getting this?".
Clues
On April 20, 2022 05:58 UTC, TheRagingterror on Discord revealed that he and other content creators received a package containing promotional items for the Angels of the Zariman update.[2] These packages arrived around April 13-20, 2022.[3][4]
One cardboard cutout in particular was a portrait of Albrecht Entrati (identical to the one found during The New War) labeled "Digital Extremes-200-01-of-06-num1-mC-Zariman_Prop_AlbrechtPainting_withARG.psd", implying it contains clues for the ARG.

Spectrogram Puzzle
On April 19, 2022 14:12 UTC, Play Warframe's Discord channel created a new category named "706C656173652068656C70" with an announcement channel called "unidentified-signal". A new Discord account named UnidentifiedSignal#3412 made its first post within the announcement channel, uploading a 5.38 MB 2-minutes 20-seconds long .mp3 file named "DGltZSBpcyBydW5uaW5nIG91dA.mp3".
Spectrogram of DGltZSBpcyBydW5uaW5nIG91dA.mp3 that spells out "Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it"
- The category name is encoded in hexidecimal (base16) from "please help".
- The file name is encoded in base64 from "time is running out" with the first character capitalized.
- The spectrogram of the audio file spells out:
Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it
- "Seems like something is getting through but the void radiation is screwing with it" is repeated 12 times.
- The audio file contains Saturn's radio emissions from NASA.[5][6][7]
Steganography Puzzle
On April 19, 2022 21:04 UTC, UnidentifiedSignal#3412 uploaded a 25.78 MB 2-minutes 20-seconds long .wav file named "cGxlYXNlcGxlYXNlcGxlYXNl.wav" that was also a similar audio file as the previous.
- The file name is encoded in base64 from "pleasepleaseplease".
- Once subtracting the sounds of the left and the right audio tracks and amplifying the result, the community were able to isolate a sound they called "the fog". It is a 21 second long audio above 2500 Hz frequency at <1 dB. This hinted that there was something hidden in the audio.
- A 1,005 KB text file is hidden in the audio through steganography and is encrypted in AES 256. Using "Saturn" as the encryption key allows the file to be extracted. It contains the following string repeated 2,610 times:
picking up some strange feedback a response maybe hello is anyone getting this hello if you can hear this im trying to push through the albrecht membrane but i need more time please dont leave me picking up some strange feedback a response maybe hello is anyone getting this hello if you can hear this im trying to push through the albrecht membrane but i need more time please dont leave me

Hexadecimal Puzzle
Video post with an image glitching periodically.
Frame of the hex code, cropped to relevant details. Limited quality was due to source video compression.
On April 20, 2022 15:51 UTC, WARFRAME's official Instagram account made a 21-second video post that contained an image with the following characters:[8]:
6a 61 63 6b 65 64 20 74 68 65 20 73 69 67 6e 61 6c 20 75 70 20 74 6f 20 74 72 79 20 61 6e 64 20 70 75 6e 63 68 20 74 68 72 6f 75 67 68 20 69 74 20 62 75 74 20 63 61 6e 74 20 65 76 65 6e 20 62 65 20 73 75 72 65 20 74 68 65 73 65 20 62 72 6f 61 64 63 61 73 74 73 20 61 72 65 20 72 65 61 63 68 69 6e 67 20 74 68 65 20 72 69 67 68 74 20 65 61 72 73 20 6c 65 74 20 61 6c 6f 6e 65 20 74 68 65 20 72 69 67 68 74 20 64 69 6d 65 6e 73 69 6f 6e
From hexadecimal to ASCII, the message decodes to "jacked the signal up to try and punch through it but cant even be sure these broadcasts are reaching the right ears let alone the right dimension".

Rail Fence Cipher Puzzle
On April 21, 2022 15:00 UTC, WARFRAME's official forums has a post added from user "UnidentifiedSignal10.0", entitled "01101001 01101101 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01100011 01101100 01101111 01110011 01100101"[9] UnidentifiedSignal10.0's only post had the following code:

- The title of the thread translated from binary reads "im[sic] so close".
- The post is encrypted via a Rail fence cipher using three "rails". Decrypting the post yields the following (in uppercase, transcribed in lowercase here for legibility):
wait a minute what if instead of trying to punch through the membrane i just mirror the frequency and see if i can piggyback off of it this could work

The Zariman data archives, they are on the verge of corruption. God, this isn't working! Stay tuned. I'll contact you on another channel as soon as I can."
QR Code Puzzle
On April 22, 2022 16:26 (UTC), WARFRAME's official Twitter account posted a message with an image that has a QR code divided into fourths.[11]

- The base64 encoded string spells out "okay I think I got the hang of this lets try something with a little more breathing room"
- QR code links to a 29-second TikTok video
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLgMqAXM/[12]
Audio Broadcast 1
On April 22, 2022, around 16:30 (UTC), WARFRAME's official TikTok account posted a 29-second video:[12]
- Transcript: "to adjust the attenuation... is it working? It's working! Hello. Hello? I'm praying to whatever god's listening that you can hear this message. I can't explain everything right now but I need your help cracking through this Zariman voice authentication protocol. Find the password and record yourself saying it in this broadcast so I can feed it to the computer. Good luck."
Password (XOR cipher puzzle)
A week old Twitch account discovered early on, unidentifiedsignal, has their description updated to[13]:
aHR0cHM6Ly9pLmliYi5jby9iRnFycUttL3RoM3lzMW5nMXMxbmd3MzRsbHMxbmd0MGczdGgzci5qcGc=
- Decoding the string from base64 gives the URL:
https://i.ibb.co/bFqrqKm/th3ys1ng1s1ngw34lls1ngt0g3th3r.jpg - URL leads to the same image with a QR code divided into fourths:
- Image name is in LeetSpeak which decodes to: "They sing. I sing. We all sing together"
- Opening this image in a text editor shows 4 ASCII arts, each with a binary message:

- Together, the messages read:
00001101 01010100 00010000 00101001 01011001 01010001 00110110 01011101

- Using "Z10" (located at the center of each ASCII image) as the key to a XOR cipher, the binary decodes to: "We shall not fear to take the leap". This is the password to the TikTok video message.
- The metadata of the image contains another base64 string:
aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWd1ci5jb20vYS9XTnRna1JZwhich gives a new URL to an Imgur post that was created on April 7, 2022 18:23 UTC:https://imgur.com/a/WNtgkRY[14]
Audio Broadcast 2 and 3
Around April 22, 2022, 19:00 UTC two new TikTok videos were posted by WARFRAME's account in response to the password "We shall not fear to take the leap".
- 0:22 video transcript: "I'll be honest, I wanted to believe you could do it but I was skeptical. You have no idea what this means to me. This is a second chance! The Orokin left these archives to rot and now we might lose it all to the Void. I'll share this decrypted file with you in another channel. I just need to check something. Hold tight."[15]
- 1:16 video transcript: "I cannot believe it is still intact. Thank you. This Void contamination is sure wild huh? Never seen anything like it. Seems like it's amplifying the signal somehow. Wait is this feedback from a different dim- Sorry not important. What is important is the Zariman. Remember that? I'm sure you wish you didn't. Well too bad. I need you to remember. What happened here... it's... incomprehensible. But we can't let it be forgotten. I found a cache of encrypted data. Personnel files, message logs, and much more. Most of it is already gone, corrupted. We need to save what little is left. Please, I'm begging you. Help me back it up so it's safe. Still with me? Hmm, this signal is fading. I'll broadcast the one file you just cracked to a different channel. Stay tuned. Damn! I'm losing signal. I'll talk to you then."[16]
LOG_Z10_1_S-624ST
Around April 22, 2022 19:00 UTC, WARFRAME's YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "LOG_Z10_1_S-624ST":
- Audio broadcast is labeled "Log 001".
- The first few seconds of this log can be heard in the background of the first few seconds of the 1:16 TikTok video.
- The video's description contains a shortened link
wrfr.me/sosthat goes to https://www.warframe.com/news/i-need-your-help - Transcript: "Hey, uh, it's me. If you're listening to this I guess you found the data pad I left sitting on your bedside table. Subtle, I know. I wish I could say this in person but ever since Cavalero's little show of force, we're on double shifts. I've been thinking about what you said, though... Look, you've always been the smart one in this relationship, and I know how much you look up to Archimedean Yonta... What I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I said Yonta and your team were going to get us all killed. It's just that things have been intense lately--and I'm still not convinced that Yonta isn't insane. But you are--and always will be--the most important thing to me. And if you do believe that the jump will be safe, I'll trust you. Anyways, I'll shut up down.
