-On October 2nd, 2022. Rob posted an image of half of a QR code and a messageː ''HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0O'' (This has been edited for brevity, the full message had  ̃400 zeroes). It was noticed later that evening there was a 0 on the 18th position of the phrase. A few minutes later a new web address was found ''<nowiki>https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee_level2</nowiki>''  (This address was made inactive and leads to a 404 error, the updated address is https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2). On the site was a GIF of [[Nama Tama]] saying that Level Two - THE PROMISE was loading. After midnight it was discovered that https://www.reachthefinals.com/gooooooooooooooooo contained a quarter of the QR code, although not needed now it was another clue to get to the TFEE Level2 Site.

-On October 4th it was discovered that https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 was active, with all 9 puzzles locked. (It is worth noting that at some point the Level 2 Page got changed so Tier 2ABC and T2DEF share the same line instead of separated like all the other tiers.)
