Melodies from the Past: Whistling While You Forge
As Indro works at the forge, keen-eared players might catch him whistling familiar tunes. The rhythm and strength of your hammer strikes dictate whether he switches between two melodies from the original Kingdom Come game. This subtle homage adds a touch of nostalgia for returning players and surprises newcomers who discover it.
The Cat in Boots: A Playful Nod to Folklore

Cats are known for their mysterious nature, but one feline in Kingdom Come 2 stands out. Near the northern wall of Kutna Hora, east of the Kolin Gates, players can find a gray cat standing upright in leather boots and clutching a tiny wooden sword. This scene might evoke the Czech fairy tale Cat Mikes for local players, while Western audiences may recognize Puss in Boots from Shrek and his solo adventures. Keep an eye out for this playful creature, as it's partially hidden by foliage.
A Tribute to Elden Ring's Legendary Player

In the southwestern corner of the Trosky region, near Semina Mill, developers have crafted a tribute to gaming's legendary figure, Let Me Solo Her from Elden Ring. Here, players will discover a skeleton lying beneath a tree, adorned with a pot on its head, flanked by two neatly arranged swords, and a red poppy growing nearby. This somber yet touching tribute honors the player renowned for aiding others in defeating Malenia, Blade of Miquella, without assistance.
Wizarding World Wonders: Harry Potter References

Warhorse Studios' affection for J.K. Rowling's magical universe is evident through several Easter eggs referencing Harry Potter. West of the charcoal burners' camp near Vidlak Pond, you'll find a skeleton perched atop a broomstick with a golden snitch in its mouth—a nod to Harry's first Quidditch match. In the same area, a crashed carriage reminiscent of Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia awaits. Near Vlashsky Court in Kutna Hora, eagle-eyed explorers can discover a treasure trove of Quidditch paraphernalia, including a box of Quidditch balls, a Beater's bat, and several training brooms. Access this location using console commands with coordinates (3053 614 50) or by scouting from the city walls.
Skyrim Shout-Outs: Arrows and Adventures

Fans of Bethesda’s Skyrim will enjoy the playful references scattered throughout Kingdom Come 2. Encounter Karell, a character sporting an arrow lodged in his head, with Indro casually mentioning someone else who met a similar fate—an unmistakable nod to Skyrim’s famous “arrow in the knee” line. Meet Zigmund, a shepherd north of Tachov, whose side quest, Sheep Among Wolves, reveals that he once adventured until a ram bit him in the knee—another clever twist on the classic meme.
Aliens Among Us: UFO Crash Site

For those who explore the far reaches of the map, southwest of Nebakov, a peculiar sight awaits. Rising smoke signals the presence of a crashed UFO just beyond the playable area. While the game doesn’t allow further investigation, this inclusion of extraterrestrial elements showcases the developers’ sense of humor and willingness to break the fourth wall.
Luffy's Hat: Become the Pirate King

Every aspiring pirate needs the right accessories, and Kingdom Come 2 delivers with Luffy’s iconic straw hat from One Piece. Equipping this item boosts your charisma, making it perfect for impressing NPCs during social interactions like weddings. It's a small detail that delights anime enthusiasts everywhere.
Medieval Artistry: The Horse Conundrum

Thanks to the viral "Struggling Middle Ages" meme, many players now appreciate the challenges medieval artists faced in depicting horses accurately. In Kingdom Come 2, this humorous quirk is immortalized in the map view of Semina, where zooming in reveals an egg-shaped horse with a perpetually tormented expression. It's both hilarious and historically accurate!
Knightly Soap: Merchandise Meets Gameplay

Following the success of the first Kingdom Come game, Warhorse Studios released official merchandise, including Knightly Soap. Now available within the game, this soap isn't just a collectible—it's functional! Visit Adam’s bathhouse in Kutna Hora to pick up a bar and use it to clean your clothes, keeping your character fresh and hygienic.
Aviation Anomalies: Planes in the Sky

During certain cutscenes, observant players may spot a modern airplane soaring across the sky. Far from being an oversight, this detail appears to be a deliberate Easter egg. Positioned according to the rule of thirds, the plane draws attention while adding whimsy to the otherwise historically accurate setting. Some speculate this could also be a nod to the controversial airplane cameo in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator remake.
Mexican Mummies: Creepy Twins Make an Appearance

In 2023, the discovery of elongated-skull mummies in Mexico sparked widespread fascination and memes. Warhorse Studios couldn't resist incorporating this trend into Kingdom Come 2, introducing two unsettling twin figures that resemble the viral photos. Their presence adds a surreal element to the otherwise grounded medieval world.
Prehistoric Surprises: Dinosaurs Roam Free

Believe it or not, dinosaurs make a surprising appearance in Kingdom Come 2. Small theropods can occasionally be spotted during cutscenes, particularly early in the game. For a closer look, head to a cave southwest of Kutna Hora, where these prehistoric creatures frolic peacefully in the water. Their presence adds a lighthearted absurdity to the otherwise serious atmosphere.
