Easter eggs

“	Talking about giving credits, if you look for them, there are actually quite a few Easter Eggs in the game which are direct "thank yous" from us to the mod community and special individuals.	„
	~ Tascha

An easter egg is an intentional hidden message, inside joke, or feature in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, television program, movie, book, or crossword. Conan Exiles features several easter eggs hidden within the game.

• No crosslinks were announced (See Conan Exiles).

The only Conan Exiles content added to Age of Conan is for people who, during a certain period, bought the Barbarian Edition. For example, a rune with a buff called "Exile" is randomly applied for a short period of time.

• Patch June 25, 2019
• Recent
• Old

•  Goat-Horn Bow: reference to a story, about a goat, from one of the runner-ups in the building contest.
•  Firespark Arrow: This is a reference to youtuber Firespark81. They stack to 81 instead of 100. (video - channel)
• Bonepile east of The Silkwood is dedicated to Neebs Gaming. (video - channel)
• A big bronze door is found between The Den and the ruins with the Child of Jhebbal Sag. It has four levers, two on each side. Pull them and hear what happens. This is also a reference to Neebs Gaming, but this time for being trapped. (video)
• There is a third Neebs Gaming easter egg.^{[citation needed]}
• Just Horse also has an easter egg, an axe created by a mad black smith named 'jhus thorse'.^{[citation needed]}
• Jumping Puzzle: This is not a dungeon. You will not need to traverse a Jumping Puzzle in order to complete a dungeon. Climbing armors, such as climbing boots and gloves, will not help with completing this puzzle.

These are not sorted yet, they have recently been added (this list is from a previous TestLive patch):

• Macrin Blackhand (Marcin, Coder)
• Leo the Monster (Ole "Mr. Monster", Coder)
• Marius Beast-Skinner (Marius, Coder)
• Lapu the Caller (Paul, Coder)
• Dono'Thelpup = "Do not help up"

• Digger Ykon = Reference to the Yukon Gold-rush, as in "Digging for gold"
• Hodur the Humble = Hodor
• Ennis the Gobbler = He's a cook. Cook-gobbler/Cock-gobbler. Although I will say - this is actually NOT intentional. I just happened to like the word "Gobble" because it sounds silly. In a stream, Joel picked up on this name and went.. "really, Rob? Cock-gobbler?"

The following is from previous patches:

• One isle on the newbie river might have been meant as an easter egg.
• Relic Hunter Journal mentions 'Krysez', refering to the modder Krysez (Steam Workshop)
• Ignatius the Greedy may be a reference to Community Support Ignasi Miró Sastre.
• Ruins of al-Merayah may be an in-house reference.^{[citation needed]}
• The Shining Trapezohedron is a reference to H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Haunter of the Dark". In this story, it is used to summon Nyarlathotep, who would then reveal arcane knowledge in exchange for human sacrifices.
  • According to the story, this stone was originally created on the planet Yuggoth. It was brought to Earth by the Old Ones prior to humanity's existence. It has been associated with Atlantis and the ancient Egyptians, and was last recovered from the Tomb of Nephren-Ka.
  • Though it doesn't appear in any of Robert E. Howard's official Conan works, the inclusion of the object in this game is a definite nod to the collaborations Howard often had with H. P. Lovecraft.

Notes

Locations which currently don't lead anywhere or refer to anything:

• Tower of Bats - When the Awakened Staff of the Triumvirate is in the Altar of the Bat, two fires behind the altar will be lit which each shoot a beam of light into the portal behind the altar, which then lights up. It currently does not lead anywhere.
• The Temple of Frost - The main room features a large portal in the back wall. It currently does not lead anywhere.^{[citation needed]}
