 		Etienne.nu: Part Two
I know the first part was already posted on here, but to my knowledge, no one has gone through Part 2. Starts here: http://www.etienne.nu/stagepuzzle2

In case you forgot, the code from the end of Part 1 was relvbsx, leading to http://www.etienne.nu/stagepuzzle2/relvbsx.htm

 		Ok so, the .psd file doesn't load, so we're thinking maybe a steg in the file that corrupts the image.

Here is the file when opened using notepad, there are a few strings in there that look suspicious, notable the xp,,~n k g j o y | k r which appears 3 times in a 3 different blank strings, and then the blank strings continue without the nkg string.

The numbers at the bottom are co-ordinates: (2,2) (8,3) (3,20) (4,6) (10,10) - that's (row,column).

That spells out 'sevix' - so http://www.etienne.nu/stagepuzzle2/hyfisevix.htm

It's an animated gif, and the last frame has a colour pallete with two greys. Remapping one of them to another colour gives "swoffting:" - http://www.etienne.nu/stagepuzzle2/koggswoffting.htm
