H3 - Easter Eggs (EEs)

Heyy nice! Glad to see someone found the solution to the E.T. exit!

Maybe the 4th egg already existed but was too hard to find (maybe something to do with that birdhouse with the mysterious eye inside), so they changed it to a simpler place after the update, lol

Or rather, they are watching this thread to see what we come up with for creative inspiration.
I wouldnā€™t be surprised if a 4th glowing coconut or a 3rd sugarbag / cocaine brick shows up after this update or in the future. (Donā€™t forget people are also scouring the code for pc version, so they would be able to tell if itā€™s new or not).

Think about it this wayā€¦ this Easter event lets the player find only 1 of the 3 triggers for Smith (if im not mistaken). This trigger is active but the EE is unsolvable unless you go to the main Berlin map. So i donā€™t think its hard to believe IO saved this EE for easter, and removed one egg only.

Not sure if iā€™m imagining things but i feel like they did some work on the walls of Chongqing, near the station thereā€™s a big poster ā€˜love in fashion - macroix(?)ā€™ with a female face, and some similar posters but without the caption around the map. Either ā€˜Lustā€™ will be a fashion show or we get like an elusive target at a fashion show like Paris?
Also think the arcades got changed up, with the chicken one being added, more paint on the shutters around the place, like a rooster, and what appears to be a reference to easter eggs near it. (white egg shaped spots with coloured yolks like the easter eggs).

(p.s. also Resort graffiti here and there)

As a connoisseur of chickens, Iā€™m pretty sure I noticed a chicken-based arcade cabinet in the arcade before the update.

Canā€™t comment on the paint and eggs though.

How about the kitty painted wall in the laundromat?

explosion? lol. let me guess that sniper rifleā€™s shock ammo.

Nah, I killed the doorman. Came back and it was ā€˜openā€™. Pretty easy to recreate lol but it does nothing :stuck_out_tongue:

The stuff hanging in the air seems pretty common post update, like pencil on dubai for the guy taking stock, water bottles on berlin. Reloaded a save in Chongqing and there were umbrellas hanging everywhere.

edit:
So, looking through Chongqing thereā€™s a few signs of potential easter eggs. So far iā€™m ignoring the cat/mouse graffiti on all the walls though. Anyway, of course we all know itā€™s a ā€˜wetā€™ map; But thereā€™s a graffiti on a wall near the homeless trio around the block and itā€™s of a boat thatā€™s capsizing on a wave.
Thereā€™s a kitty with waves under it in the washing room (new?)
Thereā€™s two interesting bits which are quite obscure but can only speculate, thereā€™s a motorcycle standing against a wall with graffiti ā€˜BINGOā€™ , if you look at the brand itā€™s a ā€˜Stallone x47ā€™.

Then, near the internet cafe, which is definitely related to some EE, after shooting 6 golden cat statues and doing random stuff i felt like going near the dance dance revolution pad on the floor i could hear beast roaring sounds, bit like a tiger or something else.
Now, obscure speculation number 2, the TV hanging over that dance pad has a brand name, that is the same as the scooter right outside the door; this scooter is has the version type next to the brand and itā€™sā€¦ Tsunami. Looking into the window you can see the side of the arcade youā€™ll see the tentacles from one of the games painted on the side of it.

So, i was thinking shoot all the golden cats, something with the cat/mouse murals, washing mascot cat and the map has soap bars. (tried throwing it at wash kitty).

I feel like thereā€™s a step missing, potentially the ā€˜how to get lee hong to drop the golden idolā€™ assuming thatā€™s not an escalation only thing but a triggered event thatā€™s ā€˜just thereā€™ in the escalation.

The cat thing is definitely EE related, but the flood might be a reference to potential ideas for a map rework where the city is flooded and you go around the roofs. Maybe related to a sin? (as some of these clues were new post update).

Anyway, as i stated before, that fashion show hint on all the posters, if you go to the karaoke shop itā€™s also playing the runway music from parisā€¦

This might be missing a few easter eggs that I just overlooked, but was updating your spreadsheet on my own with some older little things and of course the newer Hitman 3 stuff.

I was able to link to sources for almost everything on here, but with the old Hitman Forum gone for good now I wasnā€™t able to document the attempts of finding any secret relating to the Gold Idols from The Last Resort.

On the Chongqing main computer in the arcade/internet cafe, thereā€™s a schedule and they canceled the ā€˜customer satisfaction improvementā€™ appointment, think an IOI employee was having a laugh.

More unsolved:
Dubai has Gold Idols & Joints always next to Coconuts, Dartmoor has the Unicorn Horns, Berlin has whatever this is, and Mendoza is also sus with the winery kills (but no substantial evidence).

Interestingā€¦
About that ā€œHidden NPCā€ btw, idk if you knowimage
Heā€™s not a secret/easter-egg, he simply occupies Sodersā€™ place and it is him whoā€™s linked to the heart instead, if you destroy the heart in Patient Zero, itā€™s this NPC who dies (this NPC is also called Kokoro which means ā€œHeartā€ in Japanese)

yeah, I didnā€™t want to include it on my list (like Sierra and Robert have clones as well), but I put it in so I didnā€™t get msgs saying I forgot it :stuck_out_tongue:

What exactly do you mean by this? I must have missed these talks while I was off playing the game myself.

Ah right, I remember. Iā€™ll label it ā€œOut Of Boundsā€, but I like peeking behind the curtain like this so I think it should stay.
