Inscryption's Final Secret: The Console ARG
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2023
- There is a secret in Inscryption that's been hidden for months in the console versions of the game. It wasn't fully solved until very recently, and in this video I wanted to walk through all of the puzzles and lore uncovered in the Inscryption Console ARG.

RIGHT! When in Act 2 and you were talking to the Melter, there was a second voice talking from inside the Melter, making it seem like there were two personalities. I always did wonder what was the deal with that, and now we know!
Oh well thats depressing considering at some point the second voice begs the melter not to jump onto the conveyors.
And when you melt the melter a skull is left behind
I always thought it was because PO3 was keeping the bots brainwashed and hostage but the Melter had some of its original memories retained
Well I guess he did. More than we imagined even.
Also if you kill it a meatbot is played
I’d also like to point out that plasma jimmy’s stats are 0/3, which are the same as the death card’s stats when you put the cipher in. Neat connection.
Thank you for pointing that out
Why are you pointing out something so painfully obvious and clear to anyone who watched the video?
@@hem9483At no point in the video does the author draw this connection, and so a lot of people would have probably missed it.
@@edwizward3923 u gotta have ur monitor off and no audio to not notice that though wtf
@@hem9483 Why do you feel the need to act superior on such stupid stuff?
I always knew Plasma Jimmy was destined for greatness... Now if only Gamblobot can receive the same treatment 🎲
Gamblobot is the one true Gigachad
exxo i need to tell you this quickly before you do anything else the flying urayuli is coming to get you at dawn lock your doors and pray
sup exxo
Ayy its exxo
Hi exxo man
"Aw, man, this last secret has been hard"
"The hardest last secret so far"
These ARGS are seriously genius level marketing. Thanks for bringing it to people without consoles like myself!
You mean without pc or...?

In case you didn't watch the video, this ARG was specifically only for the console version using specific controller tricks to communicate its secrets.
I don't think it was made especially for selling more. We talking about a game with a secret that needed to dig in its files and go to a specific location in the real world. It's way easier to have these done working together with other people than alone in the first place.
Also this secret is really useless to play the game. It's not some item or other, it's just a nice add to the lore for those who wanted to know more and crack another easter egg

Call it what you want. It enhances the experience. I think his games in particular attract this kind of beautifully obsessive sleuths.
@@yourfriendoverseas5810 I think the problem they had with your comment was that you made it sound like the main/only reason for adding the ARG was for marketing purposes.
You know, something about this arg is bitter sweet. One last arg for Inscryption, but now it's all over for good. Thank you Daniel Mullins, thank you
That is until if/when he makes a new game
Imagine if we re place one of the five letter words with Amber would do something
@@animal_gal_adventures9885 Insryption 2 where we play as Plasma Jimmy and it's a first person ahooter
@@animal_gal_adventures9885pony island 2 got announced
@@animal_gal_adventures9885About that...
Love how the secret was a great extra lore story.
I find it hilarious that a Mullins ARG for the second time wasn't hard for the complexity of it's cypher, the scarcity of clues, or some absurdity regarding a lead's location, but because the very first bread crumb suffers the same problem the one of the last clues in the PC version's ARG did, you can't actually see the clue in-game.
Well isn’t that the point of an ARG, to go out of the game and into our universe to find clues, hence the name Alternate Reality Game.
Maybe that's the problem.
I definitely feel like this isn't the end of Plasma Jimmy's story. This was _way_ too in-depth an ARG to just provide some backstory for a random card that doesn't even have an associated NPC. I have a sneaking suspicion he may be a character who pops up in the next game of the Mullins-verse.
i mean this does go to further confirm the involvement of Irving with Inscryptions development but yeah I agree
I agree. But could you explain what ARG is?
@@jada90ARG means Alternate Reality Game, its basically when someone creates a game that has real-world elements
@@jada90 Anytime a developer puts hints and secrets in the real world, in this case not just small things like the controller lights and vibrations, but the RUclips video address code that gives you Plasma Jimmy's name.
No Man's Sky had an ARG of some sort called "Waking Titan" that involves the use of "websites, phone numbers, and radio stations scattered across the world".
Think of them as easter eggs (or rather easter egg *hunts* if you will) for people who want to dig deeper into the lore and solve small puzzles to reach a final conclusion. All a bit over my head, but it's meant to be a collaborative effort most of the time with other people, so if your skills aren't up to snuff, someone else's might be and you can work together to solve it by getting a bunch of people together and chatting about it on forums, Discord, etc.
Technically we do hear him talk in the second act. We now know the voice screaming for help inside the melter is his head. So while we don't technically see him we hear him.
I think my biggest takeaway is the additional insight into Magnificus's plan that's "too horrible" to even talk about. We know have confirmation that suffering is essential, because he got rid of James for enjoying the pain. Very interesting.
A bit late but i was happy to take part in this ARG. I was the one to discover the Act 1 secret when i realized my controller was vibrating weirdly in the room with the new game button. I believe somewhere on the server is my video of the controller vibrating. Real fun when we were coming up with names.
I wonder if there’s any way to make the Plasma Jimmy card and the Melter card interact in that battle?
Yeah, like James reclaiming his head if Plasma Jimmy defeats the melter!
Isn't there ways to steal cards like with the hook? What if then plasma Jimmy and melter bot were taken to the Mycologist?
@@tetrahedric9217 not in act 2 and the card isnt added to your deck
@@tetrahedric9217 that would be impossible, you are thinking every act is like act 1, plasma jimmy and melter bot aren't in act 1, the hook isn't in act 2, and the act 2 mycologist is different
I still stand by the fact that Leshy was what made this game unique, his ending made me way too emotional
Dude I loved watching this game when it came out. I recently got it on my switch. Rushed through the story and beat the game. Now I just vibe with my man Leshy and play cards. I get magnificus but leave the film roll and deal with that smelly wolf constantly complaining about the film. Because just like Leshy I just wanna play cards. Grimora would have deleted the game if she had control for she wishes for death and death alone. Magnificus was bitter and impatient despite trying to teach endurance and patience. A total hypocrite. He would have got to shake our hand if he wasn't. Po3, I mean we got to see what he was doing. He wanted access to spread and grow across the world. To not just take a power grab over the drive. But over the entirety of the Internet. Leshy?
Man he knew there was some vile shit going on in the old data. He knew the other scrybes had dark desires and foul plans. So he locked them up, subjected them to their own torments. And he didn't want to take over and have power nor did he wish suffering on us ever. He was always polite to us despite killing us. He simply just wanted to play cards. And I do to. It's so fun playing Leshy and God I cried watching leshys last battle with Markiplier.
@@RubbishBearIsn't there Kaycee's mod in the console versions too? That's an enhanced version of Leshy's game, with more unlockable stuff
Plasma Jimmy is officially my spirit animal
Thanks for documenting this Inscryption hunt! Let's all keep an eye out for James Cobb in the next Mullins title. I doubt we've heard that name for the last time.
Congrats to Plasma Jimmy for his transition
Love when developers add a bit of new stuff to console / other hardware releases, and especially love how by creating this Arg, Daniel Mullins manages to get all parts of the community involved!
(Also Plasma Jimmy BEST card)
Noice! Great job Flem! That also finally explains why, after defeating the melter, someone screams not to be melted. That's James Cobb's head! Still living for a few more milliseconds! Super cool!
This is such a clever usage of the console features. I am glad Daniel took the time to add create this new ARG and reward us with more LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEE!
Thank you all for finding it!
Plasma Jimmy was integral in my Act 2 deck, so I like him very much.
this was fun to watch didint know inscryption still had secrets after all this time and i didnt expect one of my most used cards in act 2 to be this important plasma jimmy really was special lol
The worst part is I think Magnificus wasn't upset that James was changing.. look what he did to Goobert, Amber and.. well.. I guess I need to call him the lonely wizard.. That scrub shrub was upset that James enjoyed the pain.
Plasma Jimmy was literally my favorite bot card! So cool he got his own lore. :D
Thanks again for covering the ARG's so succinctly. Absolute adore Dan Mullin's games but like many I can't find the time to dedicate to helping solve these but they always blow me away.
I've always shared your videos with friends once they've finished Inscryption and this'll be no different.
looking foward for the Hex ARG video! i really love how you break down arg's
I don’t think James was doing the transforming
I’m pretty sure that what was actually the case is that magnificus was doing the usual thing he does, torturing and tormenting his students, and James liked getting twisted and transformed which made magnificus mad because he wasn’t suffering, so he wanted to get rid of him
I remember watching your original ARG video from a year ago and loving it. When I heard about this new ARG, I waited to watch an explanation video of it until you posted one.
Thanks for the great content, and I hope to see you around for the next Daniel Mullins game. ❤
i really hope we see that hex arg video, you're style of content is really informative and also really entertaining. keep up the good work!
Thanks for explaining this, Mr bons!!!
I have been marathoning your previous inscryption videos, i had no idea you'd come back to it. I clicked on this video SO GODDAMN FAST!
So happy I saw all the Inscryption ARGs along the way. Looking forward to the next game. Thank you for your vids. Your interest in the mystery shines through. I also showed your vids to my boyfriend who only played the game recently and he loved it.
I personally like the inclusion that the pike mage has a name, and one fitting the aesthetic of ruby magic, has me curious what the other apprentices' names are.
Great video, love the editing and voice over which makes it really easy to follow. Cheers!
Just dropping by to say that dude, you have made crazy progress on your story telling! I like long videos as well but here I felt like you cut straight to the point and carried the story without drifting to anything unnecessary which helped to maintain the focus. And as always, great to learn something new about the ARG!
What an incredible game. Really fascinating lore too. The story of James Cobb is truly morbid. Just the fact that he was sentient when he didn't even have a head was creepy asf. Really interesting secret to be discovered.
Always nice to come home to a video from you
What a coincidence, I just finished watching all your Inscryption videos yesterday!
this was so fun to be a part of, thanks for making a video on it!
I was very curious on this new ARG, thank you for explaining it, very well done.
Inscryption never fails to amaze me, honestly!! Even though I never participated in the ARG part of the game, its breathtaking how much care is put into this amazing little game
I always wondered why the smelter had an inner voice rebelling against him in act 2!
When Daniel makes the next ARG, I want you all to remember: AMBER is 5 characters
Great video as always! Now I'm going back to the Hex video waiting room
It was very fun working on this with the community!!
it would be neat if using plasma jimmy a certain way uncovered some other secret
suddenly curious if we get a interaction from using plasma jimmy to kill the melter
The first 11 characters from the RUclips video link plus ??-?? makes 16 characters. There might be one more thing to find.
Lets shoot the melter with plasma jimmy
Its insane how much effort dan puts into theses games like just when you think we have seen everything inscryption has to offer we find something like this. its also soo cool how all of his games are part of the same universe and all link to eachother.
10/10 content like usual my man!
Just like to point out that James cobb was replaced by an impaled head in magnificus’ tower, ironic
And also the second underling of the accompanying Scrybe
In terms of his head being in the Melter, I mean
I hadnt thought about this game in a year then randomly remembered your vid on the ARG and wanted to rewatch it, what are the odds lol
I just wanted to say again how cool it was to be a part of this. You did a great job with these videos; thanks for making them!!
your editing is so good now please make more content
your basolutely amazeing for documenting all of these
heya! your videos are very entertaining and super helpful for ppl like me who love ARG but have no time to uncover the interesting mysteries behind these amazing games.
however, i think Daniel Mullin's games are all interconnected, would u make a video about the Daniel Mullin Universe?
Thanks for this.
Great job.
WOAH THIS IS REALLY COOL! Wait so James Cobb was always an NPC then and he has such a complex story? wowie
Also wouldnt all of this make him split in half? Afterall Plasma Jimmy became a thing, but Melter has that second voice and the meatbot head that says PAIN
so that means James at this ppint is effectively split in half with both halves being somewhat contious
i love how the Plasma Jimmy card also has 0 - 3, just for that extra connection to James
This was totally mindblowing. I love this game.
This ARG is honestly just really cute compared to the original one
I get the feeling there’s still more to this. The characters speaking jibberish, Plasma Jimmy specifically, a whole RUclips video. Has anyone tried destroying melter bot with Plasma Jimmy to see what happens?
That's why I love this game so much. Not just the gameplay but the story is soo big and fleshed out. And this all secrets are so good made and really hard to find. Reminds me of that Bill cipher statue hunt for gravity falls except way cooler. This is getting FNaF status
holy frick, babe wake up, pre-stream main channel upload
post-viewing: dear god, you think you know some cards, reminds me a bit of cybershadow for some reason
I am so happy to finally know what is up with the melter.
Imagine having NO IDEA about any of this and just having your controller randomly yell PAIN
Goobert says that James Cobb's trial was morping parts of his body and in the end sequence when you battle Magnificus you can look at the manual and there are rules for parts of body. looks like a Yugui-o reference but could be conected
Never saw the day a character called plasma fkin jimmy had one crazy of a backstory.
Thank you for reading out the new dialogue and information.
The last video I watched didn’t do that, and it annoyed me.
I'm stoked the intended solution was found!
... Now if only the Noita eye cipher could get solved, that'd be great!
Very cool, I love when developers include secrets like this
I feel like we could be able to makes James whole again by merging Plasma Jimmy with either the Melter or the Meatbot.
im really excited to finally get answers about the melter
and then he plasmaed all over my Jimmy
It's interesting how he was able to make this mini-ARG for consoles, ARGs are very elaborate and usually require things that you can't do on a console, but he still managed to make it work. Nice that we get an explanation for the Melter's unstable personality too, it always did confuse me
I knew a guy named James Cobb my freshmen year of college and he dropped out after a semester and got worried when i saw the thumbnail.
It's finally over. Can't wait for the next game where we get to do it all again
interesting. though my question is why was signifigance placed on the story of plasma jimmy in particular. could there be more planned for him in the future? could he play into another game?
I can't believe there still secret in this game after months
I like how he made an extra small arg for the console version for us
holy SHIT
just as i thought inscryption is finally over, they manage to pull it off with the last arg for this game
goddamn this game never gives up, and i love it
Kiples here, was a blast working on this with everyone involved! Fiowa will remain canon anyday of the week.
Anyone used plasma Jimmy to shoot the melter? Could be an interesting effect.
I know im a year late. But just noticed the video. I was going to watch it as i have already let myself fall behind on the ARG train. But as im playing inscryption again. Imma just use the beginning part if the console arg and try to figure it out on my own.
I found out a secret idk if its lore based but its looks like 1 of the holo pelts lore cards when you beat leshy 5 times it will be near the safe you will see it in the basket if you click on it it will zoom in and if you do it again it will do the weird thing most things do
even plasma jimmy got lore that's crazy
I didn’t even know the PS5 controller had a speaker
Vouch for the hex video
I LOVE THIS GAME😩
Amazing
Probably will take a part in a next game
The melter robot guy thing ismalways in pain in act 2
I noticed plasma jimmy is also a 0-3 card, but the gun gave him a sigil!
This game is so crazy. Just searching for an explanation for the ending and found this 😂
rip james cobb you were to freaky for this world
Plasma Jimmy for Smash.
Bro this is so hidden 😂 And James Earl Jones fits in those slots 👀😂
May need a new soul after this series to be honest
I took it as James Cobb was P03, huh so its melter's head and plasma jimmy all along
This is crazy
Now if only you could stitch plasma jimmy to the James Cobb death card…
Have you hear of The Ship of Theseus?
Oh fuck I always thought it was weird the melter had a second personality screaming for help. Always curious wtf that was about. Turns out it's plasma Jimmy's fuckin head.
I thought Pos- haha sorry po3- had built the melter around someone and they where just in eternal burning hell. Nope he ripped their head off (poetic now knowing this that Leshy ripped Po3's head off) and tossed it in the melter, but because of the mechanical augmentation his head was still alive.
