RE8 recently appeared on our screens, but the game already has a large number of fans. It's not surprising because the dynamics, storyline, and variety are captivating from the first moments of immersion in the atmosphere.

In this guide, we will tell you about the so-called "easter eggs" in Resident Evil Village to evoke nostalgia for the previous installments. The developers took this matter seriously and included a huge number of references. So let's get started!

May the Force Be with You!

How about this opportunity? Do you understand what we're talking about? In the game, there is a direct reference to "Star Wars" - whether it's done for fun or not is unknown, but you can definitely obtain a lightsaber in the game. The lightsaber will make it much easier for you to progress through the game's storyline, and it is very practical to use.

The steps to obtain the lightsaber from Star Wars in RE8 are as follows:

- Complete the storyline;

- Unlock the Mercenaries mode by spending 100 Challenge Points;

- Defeat all the levels prepared by the game;

- Purchase the LZ Answerer for 70,000 CP.

After completing these steps, you can confidently go to the merchant and claim your well-deserved item.

Be prepared for patience in the process of achieving the SS rank - it's not always that easy. But don't worry, the creators have provided an unlimited number of attempts.

Explosive Pistol

Do you dream of blowing up your enemies? The game provides you with such an opportunity! In our assumption, this is an easter egg, but we cannot confirm it 100%.

To obtain the weapon, you simply need to complete the campaign on the hard difficulty level. It's challenging because enemies won't go down with just one shot, and they will put up a tough fight. Remember what you're doing it for, it's worth it.

Battle with Boulders

This easter egg allows you to immerse yourself in the previous parts of the Resident Evil game. After defeating Heisenberg, listen to his cheerful dialogues, and then you will hear explosions. It will be the factory behind you, and the hero will be deeply saddened because some valuable innovations for the hero's heart were there.

After that, the defeated boss will threaten you, and only a true dedicated fan of the game will understand the reference in the text. The reference goes back to the fifth part of Resident Evil. Remember? It was in that part where the hero hit a rock, which looked ridiculous and instantly became a meme.

Post-Credit Scene

How do you feel about the game's ending? Perhaps you haven't recovered from it yet, just like us.

Observant players noticed that there is a certain easter egg in the post-credit scene. After the girl approaches the grave to lay flowers, she starts to leave, and a figure of a person appears on the horizon. Strange, isn't it? Most likely, it's a reference to the continuation of the next installment.

The most advanced gamers have started processing the obtained photo from the mist - after some simple manipulations, a clear outline of Ethan can be seen. It turns out that he was the one making his way along the road.

Weapons Book in Ethan and Mia's House

If you pay attention to the room around, you can see a book on the shelf titled "Survival Weapons: Using Large-Caliber Weapons in Combat." Most likely, this won't mean anything to a large number of players, but pioneers will remember what it's about.

In the remakes of the first two parts, there is a character named Robert Kendo, and Joseph is the one who created Leon's pistol in Evil 4.

Architecture Book in Ethan and Mia's House

In the same room, pay attention to the following book: "A Historical Look at the Architecture of Castles and Fortresses in Eastern Europe." Familiar book, or rather its author?

It's the very founder and architect of the Spencer Mansion, Oswell E. Spencer. Too deep? Perhaps, but it will be very pleasing for true fans.

Miranda's Tricks

Have you recovered from the shock of learning that Ethan lived with Mother Miranda for some time, but not with his wife?

The main character was deceived here, as Miranda disguised herself to deceive him, but she kept slipping up. Ethan seemed to not want to notice it, but here's one of the harshest slip-ups: Dimitrescu's wine is present in a respectable family's house, what do you think?

In the menu, this lady didn't have many dishes either: pork stew (which, as you know, is the soup of the villagers from that village). It's also completely unclear how Ethan didn't notice that all the mirrors were covered with fabric – suspicious, isn't it?

As you already understood, the plan was far from perfect and had many flaws, but Ethan fell for it.

Albert Wesker's Pistol

Players who managed to pre-order are the owners of cool weapons. Apart from the fact that it carries lethal power, it is also a historical reference to other parts of the franchise.

The Duke

In reality, the Duke is a very mysterious character – how can one not know where they come from? It's also strange that he has connections to the merchant from Evil 4. The man doesn't mention him directly, but he speaks in the merchant's phrases – that gives him away.

Doll in Ethan's House

We're talking about a figurine that just stands there and nods its head. Remember the same one in Resident Evil 7? Ethan responds unfavorably when he sees the toy and always says it's time to throw it away.

Invisible Details

Now we will provide you with several Easter eggs that don't require much explanation. They are insignificant, but true fans will appreciate them 100%.

Pay attention to the filter from Resident Evil 7 – it can create artificial interference.
