Melodies from the Past: Whistling While You Forge
As you watch Indro work at the forge, you might catch him whistling familiar tunes. The rhythm and strength of your hammer strikes influence his choice between two melodies from the original Kingdom Come game. This subtle reference not only evokes nostalgia for veteran players but also offers a charming surprise for newcomers.

In the game, a gray cat stands upright, wearing leather boots and wielding a tiny wooden sword, near the northern wall of Kutna Hora, east of the Kolin Gates. This amusing sight, partially hidden by foliage, echoes the Czech fairy tale Cat Mikes and the beloved Puss in Boots from Shrek, delighting players familiar with these stories.

In the southwestern corner of the Trosky region, near Semina Mill, you'll find a poignant tribute to Elden Ring's Let Me Solo Her. A skeleton lies beneath a tree, wearing a pot as a helmet, with two swords and a red poppy nearby—a respectful nod to the player who famously helped others defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

Warhorse Studios pays homage to J.K. Rowling's universe with several Harry Potter Easter eggs. Near Vidlak Pond, west of the charcoal burners' camp, a skeleton on a broomstick holds a golden snitch in its mouth, recalling Harry's first Quidditch match. A crashed carriage nearby mirrors the scene with Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia. In Kutna Hora, near Vlashsky Court, you can find a treasure trove of Quidditch items accessible via console commands at coordinates (3053 614 50) or by scouting from the city walls.

Skyrim fans will appreciate the playful references in Kingdom Come 2. Meet Karell, with an arrow in his head, and hear Indro mention someone else who met a similar fate—a nod to Skyrim's "arrow in the knee" meme. Zigmund, a shepherd north of Tachov, shares a story of how a ram bit his knee during his adventuring days, adding another twist to the classic meme.
Aliens Among Us: UFO Crash Site
