It has been pointed out to me, that I made three errors while encoding things. Thankfully they are in places where you can still decode the giveaway URL if you translate the message, you'll just have to repair the URL slightly. Perhaps this is just showing that there are minor errors even when transmitting ancient wisdom from the ancestors so you must you your own brain interpret their teaching... Yeah that's it.

I guess it's not really a hint if I just repeat what has been said.
"Managed to decode 6 characters, but the rest comes out as garbage."

solution posted, not this is just one possible solution, you CAN covert to binary instead of base 64 and still get a solution. the binary would look something like this

The giveaway is level 1 and for https://store.steampowered.com/app/232890/Stronghold_Crusader_2/
solution:
OK I don't know if I can explain everything properly but I will try...
So basically zero is the background which you can imagine goes on infinitely
One is the circle, the entirety of the drawing
Two is the black and the white. Two colors
Four is the yin yang symbol with Twp large black and white symbol which contain a smaller black and white dots, making four pieces of the ying yang
Eight is the eight Trigrams that surround the ying yang symbol
Sixty four is the outer ring of hexagrams, which I used to encode the URL
Hexagrams have a numerical value associated to them, form 1-64
The lines circling the symbol are
which translates to
Next thing to know, how to count in Base 64
A=1. B=2,,, Y=25 Z = 26 a=27, b= 28... z= 52 0= 53 1= 54... 9=62
converting to base 64 you have
convert that to text you get: https:+/7ww.steamgifts.com/giveawa}/hfYro/stronghold-crusader-2
there are three typos in the URL but you can easy fix those by comparing it to other uls to get https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/hfYro/stronghold-crusader-2
