I sadly announce that I'll retire from this quest. Wasn't able to find it.
Has been nice trying though.

I don't know why I even try, I totally suck at this kind of cryptic puzzles =(
I guess Skyrim makes me optimistic xD

So, I know what magic means. Not sure if the second 66 is a coincidence or not, though probably not. Still not sure what to do next. I tried a few combinations but nothing really stands out.

Okay my unpatient friends.
Let's make it easier.

well, Steganography usually requires either an original image to compare with the "encrypted" one or a given method of encryption using a password.
since you gave neither of both, i assume you inserted the link visually in the image -> checked some approaches for doing this but found nothing.
did you use some stegano software for hiding the information?

ok, this should help narrowing it down.....i have an idea...gonna test it out as soon as i have some time.
since i already own skirim le, i just participate for the fun of it ;)
i just dont get what that magic number is supposed to do.
bitmap header is clean, nothing hidden in there.
each line of the image has 3 unused bytes, checked first few and 66th, nothing found there.
cheked image colors for suspicuious abnormalities - nothing.
...
is the link contained/encrypted in a single block of bytes or are the bytes used distributed all over the image or is even only one bit of each image byte used?

I'm mentally exhausted, but I don't wanna give up, it's not even about Skyrim anymore!

I think i know how to do this, but will it require to make a program myself or is there any "simple" way of doing it? Especially if i need every single pixel, you can't do it manually.

A few more hints ?
Like, should we look on the same line as the 66 or around it ?
also, are those 66 single characters or split between two ?

Interesting puzzle ... all i know what to do in this "hex editor"is to find those hex strings 66 and it translates to "f" ... there is exacly 252, but strings next to them doesn't tell me much. :/ Why i need a calculator with programer mode? IS the Message a single word or a sentence with instruction? Anyways after this giveaway is over plz explain us how you "hide" the information and hw to decode it plz.
