Rise of Kunark Easter Eggs!

[Cusashorn]

<p>The developers did a good job with some of them this time, though I haven't been able to find more beyond these two, but I haven't had much chance to search either.</p><p>CHOKEMON! GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!</p><p>In Timorous Deep is a sarnak who sells Chokeballs and gives you a quest to capture wild Chokodai wolves. Do you have what it takes to become a Chokemon Master?</p><p>A Fistful of Metal.</p><p>There's a quest series in Kylong Plains that parodies the entire Fistful of Dollars movies. The whole plot is there. You end up working for two different sides (Freeport and Qeynos) who are fighting against each other, but each side doesn't know that you're working for the other side. </p><p>After you sabotage both sides, and even take out a group from each side, they send a hitman out to kill you. This Gnome Assassin doesn't know who you are, but he knows that someone killed his sister, and you're the most likely candidate. You end up meeting him, and he doesn't know who you are. You tell him that your name is Clinton Eastbark (lol), and agree to help him find the real killer.</p><p>Unfortunately, that's as far as I've gotten in that questline, as it was still buggy when I tried it.</p><p>If you folks find anything more once the expansion goes live, please don't keep it to yourselves. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

The Chokemon thing is very funny....he telly you that there are other Chokemons in Kunark...have you seen another?

[Josgar]

isnt there a"badger badger badger"

[Ama]

<p>I will want to double check one title of a quest before I spout it out, but it made me think of Code Monekys from G4TV.  It was towards the end of the episode about Mr. Larody producing the E.T. that Niel Diamond sings a song "My little E.T. and me".  For some reason that quest title made me think of that.  </p><p>That's the only easter egg I can think of at the moment if it really is one.  </p>

[Wilde_Night]

<p>There is a quest in the Fens called Death to S'neuchi (Death to Smoochie)</p><p>There is a physical easter egg in Timerous Deep - Chrykori Village.  See if you can find the Romantic Bench.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

There's an area along the coast of Kylong Plains called Point Break (old movie starring Keanu Reeves) <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

I don't think an area called Point Break is a direct reference to the movie.

Don't think this qualifies as an 'Easter Egg' per se, when I saw the DE on the box art for the new all-in-one pack I found myself thinking of magic rings and really immersive computer programs ...  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

There's a quest called "Here on my sokokar I feel safest of all", a clear reference to the lyrics of the song "Cars" by Gary Numan...

The second Tribunal deity quest is a hat tip to the Three (Four) Stooges with the people you have to question being roughly named, Moe, Larry, Curly, and Shemp.

[denmom]

The named rhino in Fens of Nathsar is...Tundro Thunderhorn!My spouse and I laughed so hard when we were fighting him in beta, to the point he almost won!Herculooooiiiiids!Also, Fistful of Metal, its follow up is A Few Coins More.  The name of one of the NPCs is Leevan Cleef (going from memory in beta).  And I can't remember the rest of the quests. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

[PatrickAdam]

Hi alltogeter, i jusst tried to get the quest "A fistful of metal" also following the infos on allakhazam, but aparently the quest giving NPC "ANDA" is not at the point where it should be, do you have any information on that ? The "listening crytals" are all over the places where they should be, but i just cannot start the quest in lack of Anda ... HELP ?!

[angrytroll1]

The quest in Kylong Plains "here in my Sokakar I feel safest of all" refers to the 80's song "Cars" by Gary Neuman. The lyric is "here in my car I feel safest of all"

A gnome in Hitorn named Queue ...

[Sylaz]

When starting a character in Timorous Deep, on the very first little piece of beach, not too far away is a Sarnak standing on a rock and fishing. You end up doing a few quests for him, fishing a such. He end's these by telling you if you see a named fish and can catch it, let him know. If you continue to fish and catch it, and take it to him, later he will send you a mounted fish furniture item by mail, the subject of which reads:"So long, and thanks for all the fish."

[Cusashorn]

<cite>axl_2baz wrote:</cite><blockquote>A gnome in Hitorn named Queue ...</blockquote>That's not a Star Trek reference if that's what you're thinking. Q from Star Trek is just Q, not Queue.

[Frigid2000]

I thought Queue was a reference to james bond, since the gnome is spying.

<p>I forget the name of the quest, but Queue the gnome was looking for "data", which seems to be a Star Trek reference to Q and Data.</p><p>My house pet badger no longer does the "badger badger badger" dance since they "fixed" the whole feeding 3 things instead of feeding 1 thing.

[Jaradcel]

What no one's found these yet?Fields of bone - Sting's "Fields of gold" considering all the shineys that are dug up by the bellywhumpers there.Sarnshak - The Shawshank redemption. Heck, I belive there's even a quest called the Sharnshank rebellion or some such..... I don't remember exactly, but I think the froglok who gives you the froglok language quests says it's "Peanutbutter jelly time!"

[Jaradcel]

Addition: If you look at the cacti's procs in Fens, you'll notice one has a ranged proc that does exactly 100 damage. No more, no less. *cough* Final Fantasy Cactuar's and their 100-needles attack, anyone?

Come on Cusa, even the quest that first sends you to him is called "Queue Data".None of the easter eggs posted have been direct spellings/references to what the devs are tipping a hat to so why exactly do you think this one needs to be?Three Stooges - Moe, Larry, Curly, and ShempTribunal suspects - Moh, Lahree, Carlee, and Zhemp"In my car I feel safest of all""In my sokokar I feel safest of all"So yeah, Queue and the initial quest "Queue Data" has definitely got to be a hat tip to STNG.

Here's an easter egg that got a quick laugh out of me:I was playing my Sarnak alt in Timorous Deep, and while fighting a Spiroc, the bird saw fit to inform me that he was going to "rock me like a hurricane" as his battle cry.

[DocFlareon]

Here's a little something that a spiroc on Chrykori Island said to an iksar character of mine; "No, I don't want a cracker!"

[ke'la]

<p>Sometimes when the Giants in The Dreadlands area of KP die they say "Timber".</p>

There is a quest in Jar Wastes called "Overthere and Back Again!" ... in LOTR it's a spoof on "There and back again by Bilbo Baggins"

[Chris543]

I've not found one in RoK yet, so this is a little off-topic, but I did spot the two owls in the Barren Sky called 'Orly' and 'Yarly' ('O RLY' and 'YA RLY'<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Cracked me up once I spotted that.

[Pentarum]

<p>There is a possible dirty one from the Nurga camp in fens. They ask you to go mine Pi`tir Sa`ilt or something similar to that spelling.... reverse the words to Salt Peter... look it up. Its very obvious once you see the actual spelling. Someone sliped that one by the censors lol. While it has its chemical uses it was also used to deal with a male erectile problem as well as high blood pressure!</p>

[Trepan]

and gunpowder

[Ottan]

<p>In the Fens, the Exiles of Droga faction merchant is named Threep Woodguy.  This looks like a reference to the Monkey Island series of adventure games put out by LucasArts.  The hero of the series was a guy named Guybrush Threepwood.</p>

[Xanrn]

<p>Well if you do the Froag language quest, you can an annoying little frog called Shorty who follows you around for awhile spouting random spam.</p><p>One of the things he says is "Its Peanbutter Jelly Time".</p><p>Also if you go into Chardok, their is a named in the Aerodroma called the Air Marshall or something and he has a speech which sounds alot like Mel Gibsons speech from We were Soldiers.</p>

[Tristys]

<p>There's a quest in the Fens called "Cloudy and Future Danger," a spoof on "Clear and Present Danger." It made me giggle.</p><p>The Sarnshak series is based on the original books/plays, I think. The Shawshank Redemption was the one made into a movie, but I'm pretty sure that the others existed as well. </p>

Queue works for a group of spies making gadgets, definately a bond reference.

[evhallion]

<p>There is an extreamly long quest series involving 2 brothers (Stormshield) in JW to turn you into a "Hunter". At the end of the questline you are asked to go kill a named Wurm in Skyfire that even the questgiver could never kill to prove you are a great hunter. After accepting the final quest the questgiver says "oh one more thing before you go" You answer "What?" He says " When <insert name of named wurm> kills you, can I give your equipment to me daughter?"</p><p>If you have ever watched "The 13th Warrior" you'll get the quote.</p>

Fens - at the end of the Nurga Mines series, you use a "route kit" to destroy a goblin machine. Nice Sony reference.

In Kunzar Jungle there is an NPC named Cookie. The third quest in the series is called: "Cookie's Monster" obviously coming from Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.

Also, in Kunzar Jungle, there is "The Shatterhorn" filled with Quatcha..... an obvious reference to Matterhorn mountain a popular ride at Disneyland which has a Yeti/Bigfoot/Sasquatch in it.

<p>I can't believe no one else posted this.  When doing the fights for the shackle quests in KJ, your oppenent will periodically say "Flawless Victory!" and I swear I saw him say "Finish Him!" one of the times I fought and lost.  I could be mistaken on the second phrase but I know the first one is repeated quite frequently.  Very obvious Mortal Kombat reference (especially considering the whole cage fight scenario).</p><p>The Pawbuster fight also reminded us a little of Mortal Kombat but wasn't as much of a direct quote as the shackle series.</p>

You've got Igoo, the gorilla, in Kunzar Jungle.  When you attack him, he has a stoneskin shield (or something like that) that absorbs damage.  Igoo is the big stone gorilla from the Hurculoids cartoon from way back.

[Mew]

In Jarsath Wastes are two quests that are based on a Dr Seuss Book, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish".  The first quest is "One Fish, Two Fish" from Herd Master Rudak.  The second is "Dead Fish, Blue Fish" from Lt Dansiss.

I've only found one myself that hasn't already been mentioned, but in Mok Rent there is a quest called Made From Real Gorilla Chest.

During the Workers Sledgemallet quest at the part where you help the necromancer raise Captain Rottgrime and his legion of undead dockworkers from the dead, Captain Rottgrime does a line from Army of Darkness.

On the end of the Trial of Tynnonium in the Kunzar Jungle, you have to fight a grandmaster. If he beats you he will say, "Flawless Victory" a la Mortal Kombat.

[Fortai]

Yep!Reference to "See my Vest" a song by Mr. Burns in The Simpsons.

<p>I can't believe no one's posted about this, and I don't remember it all exactly but the Epic Crafting quest is filled with easter eggs.  This is the only example I remember:</p><p> At one point you get sent to Gnomelands Security to talk to a gnome about making some devices to put the Bixies to sleep.  When you talk to him about it, he becomes a little irritated that you can't provide him with exact specs on the area of the rooms the bixies are in among other things.  Then he asks you about the airspeed velocity of the bixies, and you respond "Laden or Unladen?".  I nearly killed myself laughing over this one - for anyone who don't knows, it's refering to a conversation from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.</p>

[Espio]

A small easter egg...The quest given by Klok Ilesia in Fens of Nathsar that points you over to Kunzar Jungle is "Welcome to the Jungle"

[Belaythien]

Awww, so many fun quotes and almost all of them get lost during translation. Then again many of those references probably mean nothing to non-US players anyway.Gotta keep an eye out for the "laden or unladen" quote next time I do the crafter quest, though <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.

Forgive me if this was already said, I honestly did read all the pages to be sure. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />In Jarsath, there is a quest..."One fish, two fish" ,and another,"Dead fish, Blue Fish".Dr. Seuss book, "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish."

dont know if any of you are portal fans, but there is a loot card in LoN caled the comfort cloak, when worn it turns you into a gigglegibber comfort cube... which looks like a primative portal companion cube.

Now you can get it as a house pet through a collection quest.

(Though, the EQ1 version took you to a bit safer spot in the Overthere outpost, which was full of Dark Elves and their allies.)
