Hello Rocksmith fans!
You may have noticed the Ubisoft Forums have been down for quite awhile now.
Since it doesn’t look like they are coming back today I’ve decided to have this article to solve the puzzle that @DanAmrich has created for next week’s DLC.
Update: Forums are Back!

another world where they see blind men without gold
to a place where blind men see/golden streets
I’m a creed fan, now y’all know there is at least one fan now!
The answer is Creed.
*Insert Homer Simpson scream.*
I’d say “Jesus wept”, but that is likely already either the name of one of their songs or in the lyrics. Wow, I usually can scrounge some good out of most packs, but this is a fucking catastrophe, musically-speaking. What’s next? Presidents of the United States of America?
I’d be deathly afraid to download it as it would lame up the rest of my library.
At least PotUSA were very deliberate in their awfulness. Creed on the other hand, and more specifically, Scott Stapp had no self awareness.
How they became so huge in the US is a mystery to me.
Very good point. I like their sense of humor and my wife likes them (PotUSA). So, not a very fair comparison. Actually, it is unfair to compare anyone to Creed.
Creed was just awful. I do remember how popular they were. Fucking baffling. Perhaps they would be better-suited to kareoke, but certainly not Rocksmith.
Fucking Creed? Gahhhh
Isnt alterbridge just creed with a different singer? People love them but hate creed. I don’t know if it was the “christan” label or just scott. Ive always liked the guitar work of mark but never a fan of either band.
For the record, I don’t care for Alter Bridge, but they are nowhere near the level of musical abortion as Creed.
I cant believe you dissed Presidents of USA one of the better gimmick bands from the 90s. Who wouldn’t want to play Lump or Peaches?
me for one.
I kind of like With arms wide open. And I’ll bet with all the backlash Creed has gotten, it’s probably easy and cheap to secure the rights to those songs now.
Is creed the best guess so far? I never thought of them as a band that would warrant its own pack. Honestly I’ve never heard anyone admit they’re a creed fan
Seems so. Closest i could find to the hidden symbols would the circular Alphabet
http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-51221.html
But it lacks a rectangle letter (unless that is a space) and would spell out
I (square) CC (no matching letter)
Well, I am just baffled why anyone thought this would be something people would actually like. Aside from the rare fan or the Christian community, I figure this won’t be very popular (if indeed creed).
I mean, well, they just were not very good is my main complaint.
Hey look, Dan’s in the comments and he has a picture. That’s pretty cool.
I digress, I call it a 90’s pack, because I’m pretty sure people would make fun of me if I bought something called a “Creed Track Pack”.
> Post picture indicating Prince DLC
> It’s Creed 😡
> ?
> Profit!
Crafty. Very crafty, Mr. Elliot. 😐
I was originally just going to use a pic of Dan laughing but I thought this one was more rocksmith suited.
Well now I have the urge to load up some Prince tunes, so really I should be thanking you. I guess. 🙂
In the Matrix Neo becomes blind and sees the world in gold light. He is fighting against the Machines so I am guessing Rage Against the Machine
hahaha one can hope.
To some small degree of accuracy, there must be a percentage chance that this is correct.
Don’t know if this is any help.

“Dark Was the Night,” written and performed by Blind Willie Johnson. 3:15
“another world where they see a man which was blind gold on the outside”
another blues song on the record is
“Melancholy Blues,” performed by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Seven. 3:05
But it’s mostly trumpet…
is it a Willie Johnson Five pack? or A blues five pack? Or should I have settled on creed?
So.. is it Creed?
The background pattern seems to match, and the text does seem to refer to Higher..
Yeah, that would be my guess – a clue with golden streets 😆
Creed? Ugh. Hope not!
I have to agree.
“When dreaming I’m guided to another world”
Chorus:
Take me higher blah blah blah
“To a place where blind men see”
yadda yadda take me higher
“To a place with golden streets”
Could it be a clock face?
12:30 or 6:00
No idea what the square would be so I’m probably wrong
3:15
3:15
9:45

Is a version with the symbols slightly more visible
I think I am noticing a little something behind the letters. There’s 5 symbols, and a few of them look kinda like peace signs.
Maybe a photoshop/CS wizard can clean it up a bit.
You are correct, there are symbols hidden in there.
First is a circle with a line pointing up and down (inside circle)
second is a square
third is a circle with a line pointing right
fourth is a circle with a line pointing right
last, is a circle with a line pointing left
Five songs?… Have you tried layering them on top of each other?
It looks like it says creed…
Where’s the can of soup?
Google translate on that latin is:
another world where they see blind men without gold
There does appear to be a bible quote in a similar vein:
“You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?” Matthew 23:17
And there is a song by Cannon called Song 38 23:17

So it is German Heavy Metal this week! 😛
Wish the pic of Dan was the clue… I’d actually be able to help figure it out for once, not that the usual code breaking crew need any help.
I saved the image and checked the properties. Under origin: Program name: adobe photoshop CS6. So I believe you could be right and there is more under. maybe
this is what i have so far, i hope someone can expand on it:
alium mundum ubi vident
homines caeco foris auream
hope mankind/worlds where see
man blind forums feminine/gold/magnificent
edit: i’m 99% sure there’s another image behind the latin but i don’t have photoshop
=(
OK so I put that into Google translate, came out with this:
another world where they see
blind men without gold
Now I put *that* into Google and the first music related result is… CREED!
“when dreaming, I’m guided to another world…”
“to a place where blind men see…”
The lettering in the clue image does remind me of Alter Bridge back when it was released as DLC some months ago, and Alter Bridge is basically Creed without Scott Stapp.
Also, maybe those five symbol looking things in the background of the clue image spell out CREED.
Now I know Creed gets a lot of sneering, but I personally would love a Creed DLC.
Yup this sounds right, there’s also a line about golden streets in that song
okay, so here are some possible leads:
-It says “more” in the URL
-There’s some sort of code in the background
is that it?
That is it.
hooray! let’s go 😀
Ahem.
This Prince outfit was my Halloween costume, like, ten years ago. It does not have anything to do with anything. 🙂
The internet never forgets 😆
Adam Ant! (was my thought before I realize that was NOT the clue)
Prince?
Hendrix ?
Could be Ozzy Osbourne ❓
Rick James? Prince?
Edit: D’oh, just realized THAT was not the clue…
Yeah, that sure looks like a Prince outfit to me.
Which would be waaaay too easy compared to the usual difficulty.
As you mention, the post writes “Stay tuned for the clue from @UbisoftStudioSF”. But maybe the clue will be related to the picture? A funk DLC?
I would love some more funk in my Rocksmith.
Maybe Prince would be easy for guitar, but would make for a nice bass DLC.
Have you ever listened to Prince? That dude can shred.
I think he meant the clue was too easy to be Prince, but yes, he is definitely an underrated guitarist, he can absolutely shred. Buddy of mine has seen him a couple at the grocery store near his studio with extremely tall and attractive blonde women. Must be something to purifying oneself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka ;).
I.E.:
Sick Prince guitar solo begins at 3:30.
Yes, I meant the puzzle would have been way too easy. I’ve never gotten one of these puzzles. So there was just no way that the puzzle was
“Look at a picture of an obvious Prince costume ==> Deduce that the DLC is from Prince. ”
BTW, I would love a Prince or funk DLC
Or an Earth, Wind, & Fire DLC

Sing-a-Song
Yeah, see the ending solo focus of Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad at ~2:40
And while there isn’t a dominant solo in I Wanna Be Your Lover, I just love the funky timing and the subtle but awesome accompaniment.
