As a newcomer here, might I suggest a more direct brief on the core mystery to start this thread. The thread lacks any context and immediately shoves you down into the lepus pit.

After reading many posts, it seems there is a massive amount of overthinking and getting lost in the weeds. The current format guides newbies down that path, biasing them against fresh interpretations, instead of laying out the foundations first.

There is all kinds of convoluted information that may or may not be relevant and feels more like a showcase for all the work people have put into solving this mystery. Which is amazing in its own right!

Took me a good while to understand the basics of this mystery. And I believe that to be there are two statues that display ff:06:B5. One of them has a trio of jg ring wearing monks worshipping it during the day. (Worth noting that a recent patch added mini versions to Vs apartments)

Then secondarily, there other iterations of this statue around night city, but none of these display the code. There are other four armed statues that are holding orbs, but may not be related.

Everything else is speculation as far as I understand, and that basic foundation is not present in this thread.

There is something about the main statue that I learned 4 hours into reading up on this mystery that I'm shocked isn't at least mentioned here or the statue wiki. It's probably nothing but going to fire up the game tomorrow and check it out..I'd say what it is but then I'd die if it was the key to all this and someone beat me to it while I was sleeping!

Otherwise, great post with a lot of useful information.
