I'm going to go ahead and assume that if they're giving us the fourth word in the cheat code, that we've missed the second. We've found the first, the third, and now possibly the fourth. Have we figured out what the word actually is? Could it be "dog" as simply as that? Or is it more complicated?

LatentMoths Fantastic work (as usual)
Your work checks out, Derek must have made an error?
If its a missing letter, the only things that work are BELONG and BYGONE ?
eta: if Tw = 12 we get GOLDEN ?
Corrected by Derek:

So it looks like
Doggie code message
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
booba is right about Tw = 12 and with Derek's updated code would make the last word L-N-O-E-D-G which rearranges to GOLDEN. If Tw = 2 then the only word we could make would be BONGED which doesn't seem likely. So the complete message is CHEAT CODE FOURTH WORD GOLDEN. Not immediately helpful to Derek, but hopefully it will be worth him tearing up the dog for.

Im with you that it is probably GOLDEN, but I just used an online anagram thingamajig and another word was LONGED, so if it turns out that the second word + GOLDEN makes the phrase pretty weird, we can always try LONGED...

It sounds like another riddle, with the way it is written. "These" is a plural, so... "These are big golden _______s." Now, would the whole phrase be the cheat code, or would the 'answer' to the riddle be the cheat code? If so, what are golden items that they might be referring to? Stars, suns, apples? I don't know. That's my two cents for the cheat code so far.

Yaha, lotsa possibilities. Am *Yummy* hoping it's: These are big golden trout lakes.

Yeah, I tried working out a Vigenere key for it using passphrases from the diary, but that's not creating a workable passphrase.
For instance, decode with BZEE gives you http:// but the rest you can't guess. BZEE isn't even a word we've already encountered.

It is a youtube address if it's a website at all, I've never seen any other site set up that way.
I don't know if it's throwing me off, but, ".yo/Ut" is in there :/

Could "Carne Vale" be referring to "Death Valley"? Carne can mean flesh which is the origin of the word carnage or death. Vale means valley. There was the picture of the forest in the diary. Death Valley National Forest? What do you guys think? Still working on the mysterious link by the way...

It's better than we have so far. It's much better than inviting a six year old to the "Valley of Flesh."
