25 Unravel🗹 An Upsetting Mystery - Grand Theft Auto V 🐈
There are probably more Easter eggs in GTA V than all video games combined (that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there is there ꦫis so many in this game it's unreal) - and we love it!
Rockstar love to set us a challenge, even if it is solving a string of attacks. Merle Abraham is probably the creepiest character in the GTA franchise since Eddie Low in GTA 4. He committed eight eliminations in 1999, burying the remains in a secret place ꦐin San Andreas. There are various clues for players to find ♔to solve the mystery, most written on walls by Abrahams himself...
24 🏅 Who Is She? - Pokémon X & Y
We all know that Pokémon games can be filled with some creepy stuff. In Pokémon X and Y, there is an unsettling mystery that still hasn't been solved. Iဣn Lumiose City, when players enter a certain building, everything gets very eerie.
The music stops, the temperature drops, and lights begin to flash. What could this be?
Its the ghost🌄 of a young girl who will occasionally 🐈float by, whispering to players "No you're not the one..." as she passes by. Got goosebumps yet?
23 ꦬ You're Not Alone - Hitman: Contracts
The stealth video game was released in 2004, making the third instalment in the series. As players ar✨e sent to various locations to assassinate targets, never did they think they would come across an enemy that was already... a gonner. At the point in the game where players have to go to a hotel, they will stumble across a bathroom filled with red. Heading over to the mirror above the sink, players must stand there for a couple of seconds for a ghost to then appear. It won't attack, but players will be avoiding looking in mirrors after this one!
22 A Message From Far Far Away - A🌠nimal Crossing ꦕ
Animal Crossing is certainly not the type of game we'd think would feature anyꦗthing creepy whatsoever, cause its so damn cute (and mainly for the younger geꦦneration).
It is said that nothing good happens after 2 am...
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, there is a hidden message from aliens. If players own a television, and switches on the TV for 3:33 am, white noise will ꦫappear, along with weird creature-like and spaceship noises. The TV glitches for a while, before revealing the real-face of an alien. What's he trying to say?
21 𝓀 Frightening Rifle Scope Discovery - Call Of Duty: Black ops II
This unexpected Easter egg certainly did the job of scaring the living daylights out of players. Head to the roof of the penitentiary with your rifle equipped, and aim at the skies. Here you will come face to face (literally), with the face of a character from a previous DLC. It took us by surprise with its disfigured looks and screeching screams. Of course, it is twice as surprising given that you never expect to see something like this in Call of Duty.
20 Weeping Aಌngels Are Watching - The Witcher III 💞
Remember the terrifying weeping angels that stalked the famous British doctor in the TV series, Doctor Who? He had to keep his eye on them, cause the minute he looked away, they'd be one step closer. Well, the same goes for Geralt in The Witcher 3.
To activate this Easter egg, players must complete the side quest 'The Monster in The Cemetery'. Turn in the quest once completed, and go back to the cemetery. There will be some stone angel statues that weren't there previously, and they won't do anything if you're looking at them. Keep you💫r eyes peeled and watch your back!
19 ﷽ Far Worse Than A Werewolf - Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare 🙈
Whilst travelling through the town of Tumbleweed, players will be familiar with the noise of a howling dog who never shows its face. Tumbleweed is a cr𝄹eepy town as it is, surrounded with some pretty unsettling things. If players head to the church (here the howling will get louder) in Tumbleweed, it is written on the pulpit "The devil has gotten into that beast" - we recommend not to hang out in this town at night, it could be anywhere!
18 Were There Really Gi෴ant Squids In🌊 Italy? - Assassins Creed II
Assassins Creed II is the second major instalment in the series. Playing the role as Ezio during the height of the Renaissance in Italy during the 15th century, players embark on a quest for vengeance against those respo🧜nsible for ending Ezio's family. The fictional historic storyline left us thinking there would never be a Easter egg as crazy as this one. In the Ancient Tomb under Santa Maria della Visitazione, there is a lever next to the water, after waiting here for around one minute, a cutscene will appear of a giant squid in the water. If Ezio looks down again, a second cutscene will reveal its giant tentacle springing from the water - eww!
17 Creepy Caℱvemen Creatures - Halo 3
Halo is full of things to find. There are two common collectibles: intel and skulls. Amongst these however, there are hidden Easter eggs throughout the games which are a challenge to find. In Halo 3 (hidden in three locations) and Halo: ODST (in the epilogue cutscene by pressing t🌄he right stick), groups of caveman can be found.
Finding any of the cavemen will unlock the achievement 'Missing Link'.
In the level Sierra 117, you can find th🤡em across some rocks under a ledge where the Pelican is shot down, viewed with a sniper off some cliffs wܫhere players save the Sergeant and under the crook of a tree in the Charlie Foxtrot chapter.
16 🐈 ไ Secret Room Of Ending - Skyrim
This secret place can only be accessed by console demands, so it's possible that not many gamers have found it yet (if they have they probably wish they didn't). This room is actually a cell, the 'body cleanup cell' where basically all the characters encountered in the game that are slain, will appear. There are also entities walking around which is always nice. Enter if you dare (warning: Skyrim might crash).
