some video game Easter eggs can be
pretty basic a Dark Souls bonfire here a
penny wise balloon their sure they can
be cool to find but you soon forget
about them as you move on to the next
game in this video I hope that isn't the
case today we're going to take a look at
ten video game Easter eggs that for want
of a better term made you say WTF so
join me today as we summon a giant head
in Ryse Son of Rome discover a secret
room in skater XL plus many more
unforgettable video game Easter eggs if
you think you know of an Easter Egg that
you think I haven't covered before then
the best place to let me know is on
Twitter Instagram or discord the links
to all three can be found in the
description anyway without further delay
let's get started so first up let's take
a look at a series that is no stranger
to bonkers Easter eggs hitman absolution
is often considered the weakest in the
series an opinion I share still it's
far from a terrible game it's just a
terrible hitman game anyway in all
honesty three or four Easter eggs from
hitman absolution alone could have
featured in this video the obvious
choice would be the brilliant
hit-and-run ice cream van found during
the end of the road mission
I personally prefer this Easter egg that
can be found during the death factory mission
so shooting the pig causes an
exclamation mark to appear from the pig
hop across the screen and die I mean it
certainly left me saying WTF the only
thing that I could think of though is
the Metal Gear series which is known for
having exclamation points appear above
alerted enemies heads I could be talking
nonsense let me know what you think down
below
up next is an easter egg that requires
you to sacrifice cats to create a giant
snack welcome to goat simulator everyone
well more specifically the goat
simulator payday expansion as was the
case with hitman absolution the goat
simulator series is an easter egg
hunters wet dream with multiple
top-quality Easter eggs for players to
uncover but this one may upset the cat
lovers out there opposite the gas
station you can find a building simply
called cat sausage if you search the
surrounding area you can find two cats
minding their own business
take the cats to the cat sausage making
machine to create the largest cat
sausage the world has ever seen
oh and just in case you missed it this
sausage was made from eighty cats if
that doesn't make you say what the - then
I don't know what will so this next
Easter egg comes from the half-life 2
mod nightmare house 2 as the name
suggests nightmare house 2 is an
open-ended third-person game in which
you control a goat as you jump run bash
and lick your way around various
open-world settings
oh that's the Wikipedia entry for goat
simulator hang on a minute let me just
find the nightmare house 2 entry ah
here we go nightmare house 2 is a horror
themed mod for The Source engine where
you wake up in an abandoned hospital
with the memories of a strange girl
haunting your every turn that sounds
better
nightmare house 2 is so scary that even
the easter eggs will put you on edge at
the beginning of chapter 4 you can find
the janitor's room if you destory the
pallets in the room you'll uncover a red
button keep pushing the button and this
will happen
so this is Uboa from the 2004 game
Yumme Nikki apparently the game is
free on Steam so feel free to hop on and
say hello if you love being terrified by
strange figures this next Easter egg is
from a game that a lot of you probably
forgot exists Ryse son of Rome was a
launch title for the Xbox one all the
way back in 2013 and was ignored by a
lot of people due to the messy launch of
the Xbox one still I think it's an OK game
it's not mind-blowing by any means but
definitely worth a play if you have game
pass interestingly Ryse has quite a few
interesting Easter eggs including a
ghost army
and a cameo from the Roman god Jupiter
the easter egg that we're here for today
trump's both of those in the WTF stakes
during Chapter seven you'll come to this
area of a small pond dispatch of all the
guards then head up to the giant
crossbow and shoot the statues that I do
if done correctly this will happen
so this is the head of the Roman Emperor Nero
unfortunately you can't interact
with the head in any way and if you get
too close it will sink back into the
pond so it's time for more goat
simulator now this time we're looking at
the goat MMO expansion in the Alvesta
area of the map you will find the
mythical sword Excalibur well it's
actually called Excaligoat but what did
you expect it's goat simulator so the
sword in the stone isn't particularly
crazy it's what you can do and what you
can find of the sword that will leave
you confused when you have the sword
equipped you can propel yourself
skywards and with a little practice even
fly, fly high enough and you'll be able
to spot these
so these are giant mermaids except the
top half is fish and the bottom half is
human quite why they're so big and only
seen if you fly this high is anyone's
guess the Titanic movie has been
referenced a few times in video games
with many developers choosing to
reference the infamous I'm flying jack
scene from the movie well in the
excellent hunt showdown you can find
another recreation of the scene but
something about this discovery puts me on edge
so I don't know if it's the eyes of the
dolls or just the dolls in general that
give me the creeps here but it's
certainly the strangest recreation of
the famous scene I've found so far up
next is another valve related mod day
of defeat, day of defeat is a multiplayer
first-person shooter set in world war 2
it actually started life as a mod but
was then purchased by valve and released
as a full retail title in 2003 like many
of the easter eggs in this video I'm not
quite sure how to explain this one on
the map flugplatz you can find a plane
that overlooks a field with a very low
moon if you turn around and shoot the
sign on the wall this will happen
so I know the nursery rhyme where the cow jumped over the moon so perhaps this is a nod to that
I have no idea why shooting the sign activates the Easter
Egg or why it appears in a world war 2 multiplayer game
in a video that is full
of unexplained Easter eggs this next one
may be the one that leaves the most
questions rage 2 was a strange game on
one hand it has some of the best feeling
first-person shooting I've ever
experienced and on the other it was all
inside a lifeless and boring open world
still when a game is open-world it
always leaves room for interesting
discoveries in the twisting canyons you
can find the shrine of AWA besides the
fire pit and the teddy you can find a
chair balancing on a stick now this may
be a coincidence but after shooting the
teddy on the fire pit the chair started
spinning which made the time in game
speed up very quickly
I mean there's a chance that this is
just a fancy way to speed up time in game
just cause 4 has random deck chairs
placed around the game world for this
very reason but I'm not sure if that's
the reason for this location let me know
your theories down below the penultimate
Easter Egg is from the brilliant dying
light during your exploration of the
countryside you can find two small
ditches if you use explosives you can
find out what was buried here
so in the ditch you can find multiple copies of
the DVD Charlie which is the DVD you had
to get for gazi in the mother's day
side quest that's not all you can also
grab a blueprint titled mysterious blueprint if you craft the blueprint you will get this
so known as the extra-terrestrial
chicken on a stick this very powerful
weapon can dispatch most enemies in one
hit
the final easter egg in today's video is
from a game that skate fans should be
aware of skater XL shares a lot of
similarities with the skate series and
even though it's in early access the
skating in the game feels awesome to
control despit the game not being
fully released yet the developers have
openly encouraged mods for the game with
loads of user-created maps being
uploaded for players to try for free one
of these maps is the Kingwood map
created by pinco which on the surface of
things is a pretty simple skate park
well if you try to jump through the
wall I do things won't seem as simple anymore
this is a tribute to a fellow
map creator and mod developer hondune
honestly if this game isn't on your
radar already it really should be so
that's it for today if you enjoyed this
video that I like is really appreciated
