run this image through aperisolve
8 images are generated showing bit planes, revealing 8 different data matrix scan codes

starting from the least significant bit, the data matrices scan to these strings:
1 - 4d1c402dbaee7364
2 - 8e6fa0d22004a7c8
3 - 4a70fe9aa6436e02
4 - bdab66e07f805991
5 - c2dea340fbd1e352
6 - 506d18bd91fc0bb9
7 - 25d4b95471fc8bf2
8 - e4ef2d8ce6ca52ad

"2164.3587" - indicates we have to format the strings like this, based on bit plane number

2164 - 8e6fa0d22004a7c84d1c402dbaee7364506d18bd91fc0bb9bdab66e07f805991
3587 - 4a70fe9aa6436e02c2dea340fbd1e352e4ef2d8ce6ca52ad25d4b95471fc8bf2

hint.txt

in the video Bastet is repeatedly saying "SHA", which hints towards the hash function SHA256

reverse search the hash functions using SHA256 to get these strings:
8e6fa0d22004a7c84d1c402dbaee7364506d18bd91fc0bb9bdab66e07f805991 - indx
4a70fe9aa6436e02c2dea340fbd1e352e4ef2d8ce6ca52ad25d4b95471fc8bf2 - zip

open up indx.zip

the zip contains extensionless files that can be added with .jpg

this will reveal several spotify scan codes

...requiring that you will need to use the spotify app for this step
an alternate route was provided, with OPTIONAL.zip containing qr codes that
led to the same exact spotify links. password is "spotify"


scanning the spotify codes will lead you to these titles in the format of [ordinal number] [thing]
using "indx" as a hint, we take the index of the item based on the number of the first word:

Ninth Configuration
Second Stage
Second Chance
Fourth World
Third Eye
First Time
The 5th Exotic
FIFTH GEAR CYPHER!
Sixth Dimension

this will give the word and the final level ATHLETICS
