H3 - Easter Eggs (EEs)

Isn´t that triggered by shooting the skulls?

I think finding all the golden idols creates a tornado of moose on the coast

Could be. I haven’t done any of the EE things on Haven Island, I haven’t even hit max mastery. I apparently got into something else and never went back since I had Hitman 2 on disc. And switching discs out is a pain considering where I have my PS4.

I’d be pretty surprised if we didn’t eventually find something hiding in the out-of-bounds trees in Mendoza. I’ve looked a bit but found nothing. I gotta get the Sieger 300 Ghost again, so useful for easter egg hunting.

Really excited for all the eggs in this game though, I love easter egg hunting but haven’t had enough time to really do it until now.

Nah, Moosenado is done by killing all targets and completing few challenges (like collecting pamphlets or getting the guy in mansion to jump and kill himself) in the same run.
If there is EE with 2 golden idols on Haven Island, it wasn’t found yet.

I was just checking that one out, and apparently it´s only in the escalation (which makes it definitely a Jade Figurine reference), but not the main mission, so it probably doesn´t lead to anything :frowning:

In Dubai I noticed 2 joints under coconuts, not sure if there’s any use for them. Possible easter egg.

In Berlin, Ziegler has a barcode on the back of his head.

In Berlin, above the gnome in the chill out/juice bar area there’s a birdhouse and inside it there’s something highlighted when you use instinct.

In Mendoza, I found a bird nest which when you shoot a sounds come from it (it’s highlighted) Probably there are more than one and if you shoot them all something happens.

These are the things I noticed.

I’m definitely curious about the nest in Mendoza.

Danny found a picture of the devs when scanning the QR code on the back of the head of the perfect test subject in Chongqing. IIRC there’s also one on the female test subject in the chair. I wonder what that would lead to.

Awesome! How did you unlock it?

Oh, is there just two? Lol.
I’m sure there was a challenge where you had to collect or shoot a bunch of idols. Maybe I’m thinking of the Skull challenge, since I haven’t done that one.

It might still drop in the main mission if we follow certain steps. i remember the colombia idol disappearing from the table if you didn’t get in the house correctly.
Maybe it’s connected to the golden lucky cats, if you shoot it the paw stops moving, i’ve run into 5 so far, maybe shoot these all before we kill lee hong or whatever.

Well, there were more golden idols, but these were supersized versions and you couldn’t pick them up, so I’m not sure they would be part of EE.

This is the nest I am talking about in mendoza. I only found one.

The lawyer will spaz out over seeing some sort of rare bird and stay there for a while, i wouldn’t call this an easter egg but you can probably create an opportunity by speeding up his route by shooting it and preventing this. Or just camp it if you want to get his outfit outside of the house in a secluded location.

That must be it then. I never seen him en route to his office so didn’t realize it was there for him to examine and look at, I thought it’s for something else.

There’s this golden skull on Hirschmuller’s shelf. It can be shot down and kicked/shot around.
It’s different from the typical objects which can be either picked up, destroyed or can’t be moved/destroyed.
Maybe it has to be transported somewhere to activate something?

Talking Hippo - Easter Egg in Berlin

@Ibbe will surely like this :smiley:
There was an intel on
the backrest of the chair: If you look close its the outlines of an golden idol :wink:

See ‘Origin’:

The use of the term “Easter egg” to describe secret features in video games originates from the 1980 video game Adventure for the Atari 2600 game console, programmed by employee Warren Robinett. At the time, Atari did not include programmers’ names in the game credits, fearing that competitors would attempt to steal their employees. Robinett, who disagreed with his supervisor over this lack of acknowledgment, secretly programmed the message “Created by Warren Robinett” to appear only if a player moves their avatar over a specific pixel (dubbed the “Gray Dot”) during a certain part of the game and enters a previously “forbidden” part of the map where the message can be found. When Robinett left Atari, he did not inform the company of the acknowledgment that he included in the game. Shortly after his departure, the “Gray Dot” and his message were discovered by a player. Atari’s management initially wanted to remove the message and release the game again, until this was deemed too costly. Instead, Steve Wright, the Director of Software Development in the Atari Consumer Division, suggested that they keep the message and, in fact, encourage the inclusion of such messages in future games, describing them as Easter eggs for consumers to find.

I highlighted the part that explains why they are called Easter eggs

In several countries, children search for hidden eggs during Easter. A modern year-round version is geocaching.
