The 8th code just went active, and thanks to liam for making me highlight what turned out to be the solution a couple of posts ago (have a little look at the post on the last dutchfelines vid).
We get another creature to have a look at, another 'hidden' rune (C) and, most interestingly, a message written in runes that appear one at a time. For those who want to work it out, I'm about to show the translation so SPOILERS on.
Still here? Look away if you don't want to be!
The runes read 'QUEST SHAUN'. What this means, I don't know, I just figured it out and haven't yet given a lot of thought as to what it applies to - my first thought is that it's somehow meant to fit in with the other word we've been getting a letter at a time (i.e. the one that's obviously gonna spell UNLOCK). Maybe we're supposed to 'unlock shaun quest'?
Stay tuned for more.
UPDATED - A big thanks to the HETFETters who dropped me a line about this! I managed to catch this one just as it went live so was eagerly chipping away at the puzzle before I had a chance to see that you guys had told me about it. And a huge well done to all of you too, after checking HETFET I see that a few of you beat me to it by about half an hour :)
UPDATED AGAIN! Lilitu over at HETFET spotted some numbers in the top right of the latest TSD reward: 837243 (you have to look pretty carefully, I'm glad someone's got eagle eyes). Maybe it'll come in handy, who knows?

Lexi 's 3 Weird Things
Lexi just posted a new vlog, talking about strange goings on... She's told us about two of them before, but the cat lady thing really is weird.

Panatrog Update & Lexi's On Twitter
The 4th document on Panatrog is now open (just roll your mouse over it to see it - anyone has any problems, let me know and I'll post it, otherwise I won't ruin the act of discovery for you) - I think we just got our first solid link to the BPRD! (Check out the Tom Manning and 'Abe' mentions)
Also, a couple of people over at HETFET were sent email invitations by Lexi to join and follow her on Twitter. I didn't get the invite but, not wanting to be left out, I went and signed up anyway. This way we'll get regular updates as to what Lexi's doing, and as such it's a good idea for everyone to do it. Her username is lexilloyd.

dutchfelines Strikes Again!
dutchfelines hit us with another training video very recently which, among other things, tells us that SET stands for Sons of the Earth Troll. There's another acronym introduced too: SPOT, but the we don't find out what the T stands for...
(This comes from the video description box)
I am no longer the Only One.
WARNING: What is our government up to. This deals with very strange and disturbing subject matter - it may shock you. However this is not my reason for posting it. I have come across this from sources that I am not allowed to disclose. This movie is about just what the title states, that is all I can say. Strange bizarre footage that seems to delve into the unexplained. This movie shows clips that are REAL. You of course may judge for yourself. I posted this for the people who dare to seek the truth as I do, you know who you are, the open minded folk. I also posted it to show things that are happening around you that you dont know about. Now and in the past. Knowing, understanding, and searching truth is the reason I have taken great risk to show you this.
NOTE to all: I have not filmed these videos myself. I am just exposing the truth and what is real.

I've taken this screengrab for everyone to check out (from the video at 01:10, thanks to liam for pointing it out), as it's another direct link to the BPRD and what looks like it might be a code - so bear it in mind!

(Eliza)Bethmoora
As promised, here is the link to Elizabeth's Facebook profile (she needs to confirm you as a friend before you can see it).
This is the picture that was posted on her profile, the one which gave us half of the code:
You have to tinker around with the colours in Photoshop (you can just make it out if you only have Paint) to see the code clearly.
In honour of Ms. Moora, here's her namesake:
Bethmoora is a dead city, covered in ashes, with a bright crimson building at its core. In designing all the magical families in the film, I demanded that we all stay away from any Celtic motifs or that we "riff" them together with other influences. We used Oriental art as an inspiration, as well as the Middle and Far East, using Japanese armor and Islamic glyphs among other things, as inspiration. Bethmoora had to have that Middle East flavor. That, and my admiration for the European comic book artist Nicolas De Crecy, guided this design.
Mike Mignola took a whack at it, Wayne Barlowe, Pablo Angeles, and Francisco Ruiz Velasco took a whack at it, and so did everybody else at the office, including myself (you don't wanna see that!) but Deak's painting is the one that came closest to it. This is only a taste - wait for the final...
And this. Because it's cool.

Bethmoora Concept Matte Painting
Guillermo del Toro: This painting was done by Deak Ferrand who, in my mind, is the greatest living matte painter. We did numerous sketches of the original concept. I wanted Bethmoora to feel very organic and have buildings fused with the rocks of an immense cave.Bethmoora is a dead city, covered in ashes, with a bright crimson building at its core.

7th Code - One That Works!
Big thanks to Oogie and Truffula for figuring this out (and again to Oogie for dropping me a line - cheers dude!).
Apparently Elizabeth Moora has a Facebook profile (I'll post a link to the profile or picture when she confirms my pending friend request), where she posted a picture with the numbers:
101
Another picture, found on the hetfet.org gallery had the numbers:
037
Then, all you have to do (I say 'all you have to do', only I probably wouldn't have thought of it...) is stack the numbers on top of each like so:
101
037
and then read them vertically, so you get 10-3-17. Hey presto, the 7th (working!) code. We have the 4th rune now also, which is 'O'. Well done guys!

Issues With The 7th Code
I resisted posting about this in case The Powers That Be moved quickly to set us back on the right track but, as many of you already know, the 7th combination WAS unlocked for an incredibly short period of time (thebruce has the results on his wiki) - so it is possible to discover what was revealed, including the hidden rune.
However, for whatever reason, the code doesn't work now (although inputting any of the other codes will make the 7th light fully illuminated). Whether this is because of a glitch or because the code was only supposed to open for a limited number of people (I doubt this is the case, as there hopefully would have been something to indicate as much) I don't know, and until I hear any new developments on the issue I won't be posting information on the rewards since at the minute I feel they could be considered game spoilers, or a breach of the game.

Meet Wink
This is the guy that wrote the letter to Nuada. You've all seen him in the trailer, now you can put a name to his face.
Updated Rune Chart (UPDATED AGAIN)
*UPDATE* - I've now added every letter to the chart, as well as the four numbers I have.
I've just confirmed that the third rune in the Panatrog video is 'V' (I don't know about the others, but I was sent the alphabet in the mail for being in the top 10 of webmasters) - the chart is updated with it, and it means that the book says 'PEVEAL TRAP'. This only strengthens my theory that it's a typo, and is supposed to say 'REVEAL TRAP'. Of course, it might not be a typo, and instead it's an anagram. I couldn't get anything out of it if it is.
Whether this means anything is yet to be seen...

Panatrog Vid & The 7th Light
And everything happened while I was asleep again...
Anyway, thanks to Jason and Tasha for dropping me an email about both of these.
First up, we have a new Panatrog video:
There's numbers all over that, but apparently none of them work (according to the guys on the HETFET forums) yet. The big thing for me was the book printed with a few runes, the translation goes as:
PE_EAL TRAP - the third letter is a rune we haven't come across before, but there are only six of those so the word can only be either:
PEFEAL
PEJEAL
PEQEAL
PEVEAL
PEXEAL
or PEZEAL
None of which particularly make sense. It could be a rune typo and it's supposed to say 'REVEAL', but it seems like they'd be more careful than that.
I noticed something else in the video, which I'm sure isn't a big deal, but those headset goggle things could be early designs of the goggles Hellboy and Abe are wearing in the trailer when they come across the cat lady (when Hellboy delivers the soon to be immortal line 'Give it up ugly, I can see ya'.)
TSD has it's 7th light half-lit, so the next code is now out there somewhere (or inbound very soon) - so people (myself included) are poring over the video and previous clues to find that code.
Stay tuned.
p.s. I'm sure many people have done this already, but I've dropped Lexi a message with a link to the vid, hopefully there'll be a response.

Hellboy Board Game (Well, A Sketch Of A Part Of One)
Continuing the steady stream of production sketches, this one is from Mike Mignola, with Hellboy as he was toward the end of the first movie:
Mignola Devil (Hellboy Icon, Death's House)
Guillermo del Toro: Inside the Angel of Death lair - laid out in a fresco on the floor - there is a game board representing Hellboy's origin and destiny. Mike Mignola based his designs for this on old Zodiac illustrations. This particular one shows Hellboy in his "Apocalyptic" incarnation at the end of days.

aSmarmyYeti - Up To No Good?
This is a tiny update, but thought it interesting, and possibly a signifier as to where the story is headed.
On Lexi's new video, check out the comments section. The only one she replies to is aSmarmyYeti, who asks an inappropriate question. He/she/it has done this before, so it's worth keeping an eye on aSmarmyYeti.

Whether they are working for Nuada, or are a Trog agent, we can't be sure - but something isn't right.

It's Been A Slow Couple Of Days...
So I thought I'd post these. They're nothing to do with the game, but figured you guys would like them anyway, something to chew on while we wait for the next phase of the game:
And then there's this picture, just cos I like seeing Liz and Red together:

New dutchfelines Video! Panatrog Training Film!
This is a big one - two minutes of training footage for Panatrog members, apparently from the 70's (hence it's a little cheesy and full of moustaches). This is pure speculation, but I believe the blonde guy we see meditating around 34 seconds in looks a lot like the photo we saw of Lexi's dad.
Also, I spotted TWO suspect numbers in there: 411811 & 7.11.71 - but since the 7th code isn't active yet, I guess we have to wait a little while before we know if they work or not.
(The following text comes from the video's description on YouTube)
