A Guide to Easter Egg Searching Just Cause 3

Hello everyone! Welcome to 'A Guide to Easter Egg Searching'. In today’s post, I will be sharing a few interesting Easter Eggs from the game Just Cause 3.   Just Cause 3  is a third-person, open-map, RPG game. It was developed by Avalanche Studio and published by Square Enix on December 1, 2015 as the final game of the Just Cause series. If you own a decent computer or a home console, I highly recommend you to experience the stunning graphics and gameplay of Just Cause 3. This game is  crowned with Easter Eggs, cultural references, memes and other secrets that make it still fun to explore even after completing the main story missions. This post is part one of a three part post to cover all of the Easter Egg                             s.

1. DK pistol

On the coast of Vico Platessa province stands a small town just north of Trio; on the roof of one of the villas, a small handgun can be found. When you pick up the handgun, your head will instantly expand, like it has been turned into a balloon. Using this pistol against any other character will not cause any harm to them other than a slight increase in their head size. If you hit a character multiple times, his head will expand so much that he will fly away just like a balloon.

This Easter Egg is a reference to the “DK Mode” in GoldenEye N64 which was a famous first-person shooting game in 1995. In GoldenEye, when you turned on the DK mode, every enemy soldiers’ head will grow bigger. The images of all of these people with large heads refer  back to the classic Donkey Kong character.

   

    

2. The Weeping Angels

At the intersection of the Insula Striate province and the Litore Toratio province, there is an Easter Egg that refers to the TV show Doctor Who and the Weeping Angels. In the middle of some stone ruins, you can find four angel statues. Unlike other statues in the game, these statues will move closer to you when you turn your back on them. They are also immune to explosives; however, they can’t really kill you. In the TV show, a single blink of the eye is enough for a Weeping Angel to kill its prey. Weeping Angels cannot move or change their positions while being looked at. To avoid being trapped in a dead end lock with other angels, Weeping Angels often cover their faces with their hands and gives the illusion that they are crying. The doctor (from Doctor Who) killed a group of Weeping Angels by filming all of them with a CCTV camera and forcing all the angels to view each other through a screen.

              

  3.  Delorean DCM-12

During many missions when you are being tasked to destroy enemy strongholds with bomb loaded vehicles, you will find out the car that you are driving looks very similar to the  iconic DeLorean DCM-12 time machine in Back to the Future movies. When you successfully deliver the bomb, the sound of the explosion is actually a fast play of the Back to the Future theme music.

Thank you very much for your time and make sure to come back next week for part two of Just Cause 3 Easter Eggs.
