It isn't the three letters back cipher; that just produces nonsense. EZDD something something, I think.

Probably it's a new cipher made just for this quest; re-using one of the old Gravity Falls ciphers would be too easy.
 
Happy 400th page!

Except Blot may already have corrupted that if he's using the Railroad to get his men into Doofania and if he's that skilled I really don't want to leave him to take advantage of a weakened Doom

Plus equipping one enemy to help deal with another one tends to backfire horrifically, just ask the US government!

Except what makes you think he's an enemy? We've been the biggest supporter of Toons in the nation. We're a certified card carrying villain with no problems with criminal toons setting in our territory.

He also seems to be a Golden days style villain right up our alley.

I say we try and bring him onboard.
 
Gravity falls cipher three letters back. As in take the first letter and go backwards in the alphabet three letters. And do it for the rest.
Basically A would be X and B would be Y an so on.

Nothing makes sense.

I ran it through a brute force decoder and moved it back by 1-26 letters and none of them made sense so it's some other method to breaking it.

I tried running it through an automatic cypher solver but the most coherent thing I got was:



I don't think that's right though.
For more information, the "cypher analysis" tool picked up the string of letters as being "Vigenere cipher" except with an accented second e. I'm still not certain that is actually correct and not just a coincidence though. I don't know how cyphers more complicated than "move letters around" work.

Interesting, is this Prof Zoom a toon and thus immune to aging? A super? A time traveler who decided to act as one on tv? I think this need some focus, especially if there's a possibility of getting some more time tech.

Well...
Paradoxes

Throughout the quest, you might notice that some things don't exactly line up. Dates may contradict each other, events could've happened in the past that outright invalidate others, and some people could inexplicably be holding positions of power for decades despite not looking a day over thirty. Rest assured that these are not just multiple simultaneous mistakes on the part of the QM- there's an actual in-universe explanation for this.
There is definitely something there, but there's no guarantee the actor himself has any idea what's causing it.

Four is Death

Chink in his armor.

It will be enough


His can be a great many people but it bring in Cipher obviously suggests bill.

Four. Four looks like an option that's coming up soon specifically the forth one. It is death so we're look at either an actual death. Perhaps on Stan perhaps doom or maybe some other agent of Bill . Or the Tarrot Death in which Death refers to a big change.

This will provide a dicey opening but if the dice gods favor us the attempt will be successful
 
Dammit. Although one of us seems to have figured it out via some sort of cypher website.
I explicitly said I didn't. If a Vigenere Cipher is one where you move the letters, then it doesn't work.

The first four letters are "HCGG" yet the first four decrypted letters are "Four". If that was one where you move letters by a certain amount, that is certainly a wrong decryption because it decrypted two G's as separate letters. If it is something more complex than that, I cannot say anything at all as to its authenticity.

The issue is that Blots characterisation tends to fluctuate depending on who's writing him

In some settings he's just a wacky thief who wants to steal colour but in others his driving goal is to be a legendary crime lord and he actively wants to murder Mickey

And saying we have no problems with criminal toons is blatantly false because we just spend god knows how long trying to root out organised crime, we can't just let a new group stroll in because they happen to be Toons

If Blot does turn out to be a good guy then I'm all for recruiting him but it's safer to assume that he's at least shady
Actually have a question. @Made in Heaven are Perry and the other OWCA agents considered toons or zootopia-esque anthro animals in this universe?
They're a sort of middle ground between humans and Zootopia animals, intelligent but incapable of speech

Vigenere is a different cipher but yours is till the closest one we've found and it makes a certain amount of cryptic sense
 
I'm getting the same translation using a Vigenere cypher.

I think that's it but I'll keep looking

Edit:
A Combined cipher is a mix of two or more ciphers seen in the show. Only one such cipher has been seen at the end of Gideon Rises. It's solved by switching the letters using A1Z26 cipher, then flipping it with the Atbash cryptogram, and finally by using the Caesar cryptogram. The Combined ciphers of Season 2 begin with the Vigenère cipher.

Can someone else look into a combined cipher using the gravity falls cipers?

Oh, come on. Y'all see a secret code and just automatically assume it's Bill Cipher? That'd be like seeing a guy named Dougal la Mancha and assuming he's the Phantom Blot, or something.
 
Well I'm concerned, but this feels like a good time to bring up Doof's possible ace in the hole: Ugliness.

In show, Heinz Doofenshmirtz is the absolute limit of unattractiveness. While this may just be a subconscious manifestation of self-esteem issues. I'm hoping Malifishmirtz made a really bad deal with a demon. If that's the case we can potentially do a time skip with Doof vs Doofs vs Robots.

We wouldn't bounce back from it too well, but I would prefer forces beyond our understanding be busy with hive-minding reality rather than destroying it.
