H3 - Easter Eggs (EEs)

Harming cats is a horrible thing to do.

Yes, and also the one in the bath.

I threw the starfish in there.

2 SpongeBob references on one map is kinda strange.

I don’t know about the names, but the actual EE seems to be a Goonies reference, with the pirate ship sailing past the beach in the distance manned by one eyed willie, the skeleton pirate (i can’t make out in your clip if the skeleton has an eye patch on or not).

Clara probably refers to Carla, the Sword Master of MĂȘlĂ©e Island.
Murray is the name of the talking skull that appears in every Monkey Island game.

I’m still hoping for something fun with the sand castle, rowing oar off the east coast, and snake trap.

Little EE or interesting script :wink: )

Damn it! I meant to say Carla! The files say Carla!

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Not sure what the point of this was but:

If you kill all the guards in Ambrose Island and free Agent Smith, the bag head guy wanders around and eventually ends up in the Pirate Outhouse near the ladder shortcut.

Also did anyone find anything weird with the painted hand symbols? Why are they different colours?

Pretty sure the hands are to signify different permissions, red being you can’t go there, or at least not as a civilian, yellow might be worker only, and black is probably public

just realized Alexa’s case file has a unicorn on it

i know people believe this EE doesn’t exist but maybe you have to obtain the case file, collect the horns, and do something else.
or
this could just be the final nail in the coffin that the unicorn horns around the mansion mean nothing

edit: it could be that one must arrange the horns in the formation that they appear on the file. there are 3 on the map, yet i remember someone here said that they had 1 respawn for them (?)

Since there’s no evidence of some unicorn easter egg in the files (at least not found? yet?) I doubt this might lead into said EE.

The Unicorn is probably just Alexa’s house sigil or something to that effect since the outer rim of the house is lined with them, and honestly its a cool detail that an artist at IO personalised her intel folder like that.

As fast as the Ambrose Island EE’s were data mined and found I’d agree. If something was there in Dartmoor, it would’ve been found by now

The old bag just really likes unicorns. :joy:

Too bad really. There is a mansion, there is a lake that could be an ocean of possibilities for an EE!

I don’t mind if you want to solve the puzzle by datamining. Like you said, I don’t have to watch your video. But now nobody else wants to bother hunting for it. I don’t get to join the rest of the community in looking for it. Ambrose would have been the first time I’d be able to join, since I didn’t know about the forums until recently, and only just found this thread. If this ends up being the final map in the trilogy, that means I never will. Looking for the egg alone is less fun, especially since there’s a completely unspoilered image of the ending there. I genuinely want to ask, why post it here? What does anyone gain from this?

I’m not good at tone on the internet, so I’ll say here. Don’t interpret any of this as angry. I’m just sad now. :frowning:

Because it’s a thread dedicated to easter eggs in Hitman 3. And what I posted was an easter egg, in Hitman 3.

Knowledge about the easter egg.

What about the people who wanted to look for it? Now we don’t get to. The people who just wanted the answer win either way, but now we lose. I guess a better way to word my question would be “What benefit does sharing this video have over leaving it a mystery for a little while longer?”

I do think it’s in pretty poor taste to outright post the ending/final reveal of the Easter Egg outright like that. At least spoiler-tag it or hide it in a Details box.

I’m not an Easter Egg hunter, but I do appreciate the thrill and drive of dedicated fans to solve a scavenger hunt left by its creators.
Datamining can be a good way to find the breadcrumbs for it, especially if it’s difficult or unclear what triggers what, but essentially looking at a cheat sheet of answers would probably remove a lot of the “fun” surrounding the hunt, which is what drives the creation and pursuit of these things, especially the collaborative effort hunts like these probably require.

tbh if I was a person that cared about the easter eggs, I would avoid this thread altogether since I would expect to see that sort of stuff in here.

Yeah, that’s very true if you want to find them alone. But this is also the thread where people discuss the process of looking for eggs. Someone points out that this cat disappears, someone else finds the next one in the chain, etc. That’s the community part that I’m sad I missed out on.
