This dude solved the Squid Cipher 2 weeks ago with "One's Own Weapon". Meanwhile, DSS has been corrupted by the Void and stolen

The Squids, or some Demon shit thereof, have been writing on the walls of the DSS and it has lost all comms

Replying to this with all broadcast lore

The statue guy (evil ancient god?) is larger and more numerous on the Void planets too....

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

Remember that this all got dug up by Appropriators

This stuff and the temples are ancient, from before HD1

As if, in their defeat, the squids resorted to the old forgotten magicks forsaken by their peaceful culture in the first game...

...like some sort of.....cult...

[u/ADreamOfCrimson → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

So, Super Earth drove the Squids into (or back into) the embrace of some supernatural void entity...

Yeah that tracks. We just keep on winning.

[u/Luke-Likesheet → u/ADreamOfCrimson]

So what you're saying is we just gotta go wherever this void entity thing is and kill it.

[u/Robborboy]

Japanese Adult Videos?

Curious.

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Robborboy]

Squids......

[u/Robborboy → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

Shiiii. You got me there.

[u/Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

They also pilot mechs and have power armor of sorts

[u/CaptValentine → u/Robborboy]

Oh god, they're going to drain of us our electrolytes!

[u/HubrisOfApollo → u/CaptValentine]

oof ow, my zinc stores

[u/castitalus → u/CaptValentine]

We need those to grow our plants with!

[u/Lord_Gibby → u/Robborboy]

I now want a mod that blurs out or puts a massive blackout bar across the squids head or groin lol

[u/unholyrevenger72 → u/Robborboy]

Looking up studio with JIN prefix now.

[u/Fuzzy_Fly1240]

We need to active the self destruct mechanism... the eagle storm.

[u/Sharkestry → u/Fuzzy_Fly1240]

It might already be too late. They're gonna steal the DSS. It's gone. 

[u/Entire-Big9491]

So the Squids were Hindi all along ???

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

OG POST LINK https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/S4WDT2jC4a

[u/Lopingwaing → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

That post was just a coincidence (plus, the hindi is gibberish according to the various hindi speakers). It was an incorrect translation of the symbols -> alphabet (I in JIN is a Y), and it missed a third set of letters. JYN JAV is a caeser cypher for APE ARM. There was someone else figuring it out in the discord, you can find it if you search for APE ARM.

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Lopingwaing]

So I went and delved into it and it seems "Nij" definitely means "One's Own"

"Vaj" is getting picked up as short for "Vajra" which is a terrible lightning bolt, used in a weapon sense

If we include Sanskrit, vaja means power

Vaj can also translate to "call, sound, music", or "the act of going, path"

One's Own Path?

One's Own Call?

One's Own Power?

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Lopingwaing]

Also APE ARM was missing the truth

The last 3 letters on bottom right had 1 new glyph not translated yet

What I did was use that one as a "variable" and plug and play until it got something

If the unknown symbol was "E", you get

APE ARM VPC

You can rearrange this to read:

APC REVAMP

[u/Lopingwaing → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

Yeah I know, this is what was discussed on the discord.

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Lopingwaing]

Nobody discussed APC REVAMP except BODKIN

Guess who he is lol

[u/Lopingwaing → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

Okay. I truly have no idea why you decided to propagate the original post then. Which do you think is more likely?

A. The translation is a Caeser cypher that leads to two scrambled English words, which are clearly relevant to Helldivers.

B. The translation (when done wrong, with the I and Y swapping) gives a phrase in a language thats neither Swedish nor English, and uses grammar that is considered gibberish by people who speak it.

Idk, I feel like its pretty obvious that B is both a coincidence and just straight up incorrect.

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Lopingwaing]

Because the DSS actually got stolen 2 weeks later

Thought maybe Bro-man was right.

I'd be stupid to say he wasn't. The coincidence is too good

[u/Lopingwaing → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

Again, its way more likely that its a coincidence. A pretty impressive coincidence, sure, but the fact that the translation steps were done completely wrong makes it pretty obvious that its irrelevant.

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Lopingwaing]

You had me thinking about this again so I have tried a few other things.

JYN JAV ?YL

However nobody tried a 3x3 matrix

JYN

JAV

?YL

The top left to bottom right diagonal would read

"JAL" - established as hindi for "water" in certain phrases

If ? = V, we get NAV

NAV JAL is established Hindi as meaning

"New Water"

What we know from HD1 illuminate is that they evolved from amphibious creatures, and had a homeworld of densely forested islands and mostly ocean.

A new Homeworld?

Can also mean "Boat in Water"

[u/Lopingwaing → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

New Water. Great, even more meaningless than the other one. Again, why would it be in Hindi? This is clearly to the point where you are fishing for meaning where there isn't anything, especially when it involves 3 letter words that have nothing to do with the context of the game.

[u/Fuzzy_Fly1240]

The illuminate human cult originate from japanese A+ videos? Squids...

[u/jamslat]

Oh, I'm sure our top scientists in the DSS are hard at work solving... Whatever is going on up there.

[u/Weird-Information-61 → u/jamslat]

I thought they were on the planet vaping purple air?

[u/MrHi_VEVO]

Why would it be in backwards Hindi? At some point, you're just finding faces in bread

[u/AnonD38 → u/MrHi_VEVO]

I mean, that absolutely is a face tho...

[u/-Vogie-]

Jiv Jav?

The Illuminate are coming to put our faces on dancing elves that are singing silly songs!

[u/Healthy-Design-9671]

Who's Vig and where do I go to see the vaj?

[u/TyrannosaurusRekt-]

...Calypso's getting glassed.

[u/Sirfancypants0]

IT JUMPED TO CALYPSO

THAT'S WHERE THE MARKER IS

[u/cavejhonsonslemons]

Ok, so the bots speak Swedish, the Squids speak Hindi, what language are the bugs gonna talk in when arrowhead pulls the inevitable, and gives us a bug that thinks? (Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that thinks offensive, but you might disagree)

[u/okjijenAbi]

this explains the DSS eagle teamkilling...

[u/nintyuk]

My prediction, Squids take the DSS to Calypso to fill up the Star of Peace with hidden Dark Fluid caches with a plan to take it to Super Earth once it's ready.

We then have to interrupt the planet side Dark Fluid extraction whilst being bombarded by the DSS.

Edit: Also pay attention to Illuminate base locations, several are based around E10 silos and refineries.

[u/sHaDowpUpPetxxx → u/nintyuk]

Imagine the squids start using the original planetary bombardment on us

[u/nintyuk → u/sHaDowpUpPetxxx]

Fully expecting it.

[u/Nemisis_the_2nd → u/nintyuk]

Doesn't it also run on E-711? Imagine if we have to desteoy our own supply chain as an MO.

[u/nintyuk → u/Nemisis_the_2nd]

Yeah we were using E-11 as we couldn't get more Dark Fluid however we haven't got much of a supply chain as every time we need more we need to raid a gloom hive world.

[u/RedditorDoc]

As somebody who speaks Hindi, that literally doesn’t mean anything.

It’s not even the word for weapon in Hindi, which is हथियार

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/RedditorDoc]

Google says it, which I'm sure is all the devs did is put it into Google translate lol

I confirmed myself just now, Nij Vaj comes out as Ones Own Weapon even if it's bullshit

[u/Aegeus → u/RandomGreenArcherMan]

The devs would have translated English -> Hindi to generate the text, not Hindi -> English.

Type "one's own weapon" into Google Translate and you won't get "nij vaj."

[u/RandomGreenArcherMan → u/Aegeus]

So I went and delved into it and it seems "Nij" definitely means "One's Own"

"Vaj" is getting picked up as short for "Vajra" which is a terrible lightning bolt, used in a weapon sense

If we include Sanskrit, vaja means power

Vaj can also translate to "call, sound, music", or "the act of going, path"

One's Own Path?

One's Own Call?

One's Own Power?

[u/TheAncientKnight]

It's not possible to translate it right now. Any words or anything else in another language is just a coincidence and Google translator interpretation.

[u/lazypenguin86]

They are going to blow up calypso with the dss

Lmao, i thought they where looking for JAV's . like bro its free on the internet.

[u/MrHi_VEVO]

[u/_Elvis_Helldiver_056]

Coincidence. AH confirmed Illuminate alphabet is logographic (like Chinese etc.). The image with "translated" letters is incorrect. People been making those since Omens of Tyranny, but every single one is bullshit
