Translating the second parts of the text gives the words "Cthulhu Mythos" (H.P. Lovecraft). Just figured that out thanks to the Amnesia Update thing on valvearg. (http://valvearg.com/wiki/Amnesia_The_Dark_Descent#Original_Update)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos

If this hasn't been already discovered, I'm almost certain this will help. I've been pondering about this for a while but couldn't figure out myself how this can. Created an account here just to share this info.

What I was thinking myself was that this relates to GLaDOS (as she is a voice, that you had "killed"). Maybe a bit far-fetched, but with this amount of game references put in this riddle it might as well be. If so, it could mean that we'd need her to crack the code and see what's inside the RAR files.

Maybe that means we are finding a name - The name of the girl Daniel killed - and that will be the password to the rar files.

For those who aren't checking the wiki, the Unexpected Omen has been decoded.
Quote:The potion certainly is a capricious tool to work with, and one who consumes it will suffer from memory loss, but to what degree is difficult to predict. Lately, I have become skilled at matching the body of the prisoner with the amount of rose oil. However, there are still prisoners who take me by surprise. Emanuel, the poucher, roused from his unconsciousness rambling, "Deliver the cube. Must deliver. Conveyor belts." His words meant nothing to me. The prisoners rarely tried to address me in English: everyone knew I spoke their language quite well. I grabbed him and hushed his manic rant. Emanuel calmed down and looked at me with his frightened eyes. He spoke: "The machine must travel. We are late. north ajkbeguines. (looks like this may actually be: The machine must travel were light nor dark begin)" As his voice resonated within me it felt important, maybe even prophetic. I asked him what I could do to help, if there was an answer to this riddle. He cried and said, "Conveyor belts.”

The decoded message seems to be getting altered quite often, so I don't know how long my post will be accurate.

"I asked him what I could do to help, if there was an answer to this riddle. He cried and said, 'Conveyor belts.'"

Omen is related to the Rush part of the ARG as far as I've read, but has anyone tried using "conveyorbelts" or "conveyor belts" or something along those lines as the password for the rar files? Try running conveyor belts through an anagram decoder and see if anything useful pops up.

Does anyone know what order that the heiroglyphs from the blue text are found IG. With and without the C and M letters? I think the order here http://valvearg.com/wiki/Amnesia#Blue_Text is based on the texture file not on Ig appearance. I'm assumign that they are actually IG based on this http://valvearg.com/wiki/File:Amnesia_glyphs.jpg

So is anyone who bought this game from Frictional's store instead of Steam SOL for getting this update? I want to hear that creepy suitor thing.

The password to 001.rar has been found: TCHUMHULYTSHO

The archive contains a picture, and a block of text. (the text is in jpg file, so I can't just copy and paste it...)

Edit: Here is a link to the text http://i.imgur.com/Ji6WK.jpg

Letters on the image are VCBDLIIMNIATS

Which is an anagram of 'blind activism'.

I just looked them up myself and got the code for 001.rar. Now for the next 3

Scratch what I said, the B is an E.
