Jokes
The video was uploaded as a part of the second ARG that took place during the SilvaGunner: Rebooted event. The video is unlisted and is meant to accessed after completing Pokemon Grand Dad Version, which rewards the player the video ID. There are several modifications to the original episode, including The Nutshack theme being played an octave higher by a square lead and "Meet the Flintstones" at 0:55. As well as those there are also several other things that appear throughout the episode that each give out a little bit of the URL:
| Time | Modification | Hint |
|---|---|---|
| 1:04 | An image of "Tiny" from DOTA 2. | tiny |
| 2:33 | "YOUUU" | U |
| 4:21 | "ARRRR" | R |
| 7:58 | a small suspicious white square | . |
| 11:14 | Loud Nigra scream | L |
| 11:18 | "63 6f 6d" (hexidemical for "com") | com |
| 12:20 | BACK"/" | / |
| 13:21 | "7" | 7 |
| 17:59 | A picture of "SONIC DASH" | - |
| 21:12 | GRAND | grand |
| 26:52 | "SC 587" on the top left corner[how] | grand |
| 29:58 | "- .-. ..- - ...." (morse code for "truth") with "Nut" being "-" and "Shack" being "." | truth |
Combining all these edits you can piece together the URL https://tinyurl.com/7grandtruth (which redirects you to https://pastebin.com/PyfpTew3). The pastebin states:
- "ASCEND".

and then a spam of the phrase, "Truth had gone.". This is an instruction to email Enlightened Rhombus, who would email back a series of puzzle pieces leading up to "Melody of the Heart ~True Ending~ - SilvaGunner: Rebooted".
History
On July 28, 2016, a YouTube channel named Solid Snakespeare uploaded a video, "the nutshack theme but with higher quality audio". This video was actually taken from "ALMOST. THERE.".
In both videos, starting from 0:19, The Nutshack's melody is played by an additional square lead instrument, an octave higher and louder than as usual. At 0:55, "Meet the Flintstones" can be heard, while a picture of Tiny from DOTA is shown for half a second.
At the time, this was the highest quality audio of The Nutshack that could be found on YouTube, as the title suggests, since the video posted by the official Nutshack account was from 2007. This caused a few video edits of The Nutshack to use the ARG edit, as well as some SiIvaGunner rips.
The video was later blocked by ABS-CBN Corporation, the production company of The Nutshack. On October 1, 2016, this video was added to the Haltmann's Archives playlist. Like other non-Haltmann's Archives uploads, it was removed from the playlist on March 11, 2025.
