Melodies from the Past: Whistling While You Forge
While Indro works at the forge, keen-eared players might recognize familiar tunes. The melodies he whistles subtly change based on your hammering rhythm, alternating between two distinct songs from the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This is a charming nod to the first game, offering a delightful surprise for newcomers and a wave of nostalgia for returning players.
The Cat in Boots: A Playful Nod to Folklore
Cats are known for their enigmatic nature, but one feline in Kingdom Come 2 takes things to a whole new level. East of the Kolin Gates, near Kutna Hora's northern wall, you'll find a gray cat standing upright, sporting leather boots and clutching a miniature wooden sword. While Czech players might recognize a connection to the fairy tale "Cat Mikes," Western audiences will likely see the resemblance to Puss in Boots from the Shrek franchise. This playful character is partially hidden by foliage, adding to the fun of the discovery.
A Tribute to Elden Ring's Legendary Player
Near Semina Mill in the southwestern Trosky region, the developers pay homage to Let Me Solo Her, a legendary Elden Ring player. You'll find a skeleton lying beneath a tree, a pot on its head, flanked by two swords, and a red poppy nearby. This touching tribute honors the player renowned for single-handedly assisting others in defeating Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
Wizarding World Wonders: Harry Potter References
Warhorse Studios clearly has a fondness for J.K. Rowling's magical world, as evidenced by several Harry Potter references scattered throughout the game.
- Quidditch Memorabilia: West of the charcoal burners' camp near Vidlak Pond, a skeleton sits atop a broomstick with a golden snitch. Nearby, a crashed carriage echoes the scene with Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia.
- Hidden Quidditch Gear: Near Vlashsky Court in Kutna Hora, you can find a cache of Quidditch equipment, including balls, a Beater's bat, and training brooms. (Coordinates: 3053 614 50, or visible from the city walls).
Skyrim Shout-Outs: Arrows and Adventures
Fans of Skyrim will appreciate these humorous nods:
- Karell's Arrow: Karell, a character with an arrow in his head, triggers Indro's casual mention of a similar fate—a clear reference to Skyrim's famous "arrow in the knee" line.
- Zigmund's Mishap: Zigmund, a shepherd north of Tachov, recounts his adventuring days cut short by a ram's headbutt to the knee—a playful twist on the meme.
Aliens Among Us: UFO Crash Site
Southwest of Nebakov, near the map's edge, rising smoke indicates a crashed UFO. While inaccessible, this unexpected element adds a touch of humor and breaks the game's otherwise grounded historical setting.
Luffy's Hat: Become the Pirate King
Aspiring pirates can find Luffy's iconic straw hat from One Piece. Wearing it boosts charisma, making it ideal for social interactions. A fun detail for anime fans.
Medieval Artistry: The Horse Conundrum
A humorous nod to the "Struggling Middle Ages" meme, the map view of Semina reveals an egg-shaped horse with a perpetually distressed expression—a funny and historically accurate observation.
Knightly Soap: Merchandise Meets Gameplay
Warhorse Studios' official Knightly Soap merchandise is now in-game. Find it at Adam's bathhouse in Kutna Hora to clean your clothes.
Aviation Anomalies: Planes in the Sky
Modern airplanes occasionally appear in cutscenes, a deliberate Easter egg, possibly referencing a similar cameo in Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
Mexican Mummies: Creepy Twins Make an Appearance
Inspired by the 2023 discovery of elongated-skull mummies in Mexico, two unsettling twin figures appear, adding a surreal touch.
Prehistoric Surprises: Dinosaurs Roam Free
Small theropod dinosaurs can be seen in certain cutscenes and in a cave southwest of Kutna Hora.
