7 ciphers finally available in IX

Thanks to [Anthony](https://twitter.com/shiversoftdev) on Twitter, we finally know how to get 7 ciphers in IX that eluded us since the release of Black Ops 4 in 2018. Anthony used the decompiled code of the game to find the correct way to find them.

However, almost all of them were already known after their textures were datamined shortly after launch, 4 of them are already solved.

# Cipher 1

To reveal this cipher, every bowl in the Arena has to be lit using Wraith Fire. Once it is done, the player needs to slam the center of the Challenge Podium with the Hammer of Valhalla at level 2. After that, the player needs to go to the brigde between the Danu and Ra towers, without swapping their weapon. When facing the boss arena, there will be a bowl on the right side that needs to be shot with the Lightning Bolt attack of the hammer. If done correctly, the cipher will appear below the bowl.

# Cipher 3

To reveal this cipher, the player needs to throw a Frag Grenade in liquid in a specific order. First the pond in the Arboretum in the Danu Tower, then the pool of blood in the Bath House of the Zeus Tower, then a bowl in the Zeus Altar Room, and finally the pool of water in the Entrance of the Ra Tower. The cipher will appear somewhere on the side of the pool. ([source](https://twitter.com/shiversoftdev/status/1600877677505785856))

To reveal this cipher, four players are needed with each player using Viper and Dragon. Inside the Crypt, each player needs to shoot the head of one statue in a specific order. When facing the Mystery Box, the order for the statues is: South West, North East, South East, North West. The cipher will appear on the wall next to the last statue.

# Bonus Cipher

Although this cipher was randomly found by a player, it seems nobody was able to find the correct way to get it. Now we know.
