BamHam Asylum has the secret room in the warden's office containing blueprints plans for Arkham City, that wasn't discovered by players until a year after the game came out.

Also, that one spoopy room in ond of the ships that had one of Scarecrow's victims tied to a chair

...

That cave where you get knights of the round in FF7 was pretty fucking cryptic

This isn't really even that deviously hidden, but I never knew about the dying soldier in Ocarina of Time until a year or two ago.

That little girl doll questline in WoW

There's a monster in Final Fantasy 9 holding a card, the back of which you never see in-game because he never holds it with that face towards the camera, but using a model or texture viewer you can see that card has a message about FF10 written on it.

You can save JC's brother.

What's it say?

Explain?

What is that boat?

If you save right after beating the final boss and right before the ending cutscene in Throne of Darkness, your clan becomes the dark/evil versions when you reload and Zanshin's minions won't attack you anymore.
Surprised as hell that I couldn't find it at all on google

it's gonna suck

Uuna's doll, gotta do a whole world tour and do a ton of crypric shit in order to transform the doll's summon and give her a new gesture

The secret classic dungeons in wizardry 8
impossible to find without a guide though

right, legion has the deep jellyfish mount that has 0 hint still have no idea how they found something like this

And Kosumoth the Hungering as well, that one was pretty fucking well hidden

that's actually a drop from Kosumoth

Walked right into that one.

The area under Karazhan in WoW. I don't think I've ever been so surprised by a secret location before. Completely different theme from the rest of the game. Really wish I could have seen what they had planned for it.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA

specially in Legion where there's apparently a questline involving getting into it in the process of solving an "extremely difficult puzzle"

alot of the secrets in dark souls sounds like it came from that one kid we all knew as a kid who'd make up wild shit.

>there's a hidden room behind the spider boss where you can meet her sister! and if you give her enough humanity you can save solaire! and you can trade the sunlight maggot to the birds for a ring that allows you to understand her
>there's an item in a hidden room up the tree in blighttown, and behind that there's ANOTHER hidden wall which leads to a secret area where there's a friendly dragon
>if you go back to the very beginning of the game you can find an item which you can use to go meet seath's daughter and fight the old monk again from demon's souls
>if you kill the four kings early enough you can meet frampt's evil twin and get unlimited invasions and the ability to suck humanity from others without killing them

There are undead in Thief 2 and you aren't equipped to deal with those fuckers.

There is an ewok in Darkforces that is tied up and you can torture it.

Is this true?

>fight the old monk again
what, which bit was this?
i know youre talking about the painted world and priscilla, but i dont remember this

the npc invader that has the big silly headwrap

NPC invasion with this nigga

In FF7 if you swap out the current game disc with one of the others before you parachute into Midgard near the end, it doesn't play the cutscene of you opening your chute. Instead plays random cinematic from whichever disc you have in. It then cuts to the street level where Cloud freefalls right into the ground, just slightly below the cameras view. Caet Sith hops up to where Cloud would be lying, shakes his head, then walks away. Game then sits there forever, not frozen, just going nowhere till you reset.

Blew my fucking MIND as a kid. I am guessing something leftover from a minigame or something originally planned for the paradrop in that you could potentially fail?

oh yeah, nvm

>insert look at this dood meme

Do you have a link or source on this?

He's being That Kid,

What about the creepy children that only run around town at a specific time?

>help paul kill all the bad dudes
>after they're all dead, head out the window of paul's apartment
>PAUL IS DEAD

goddamn that was dumb

You can hear songbird from bioshock infinite die in the original bioshock

>my dad works a fromsoftware

>Jak II
>Take the disk out and insert it back in during the intro cutscene
>You are now dropped into Sentinel Beach from the first game

You can save him though, he will be in hong kong later

I'm aware. I think I just reloaded my game and ran straight for the front door of the apartment building, without killing anyone, and it said Paul lived. I just thought it was dumb that Paul's fate is tied entirely to which exit you take out of the building

Mario 2 was called Doki Doki panic in Japan. It wasn't even a real Mario game.

Bullshit, fuck you, you're lying

Does this count?

Ghost recon wildlands has a predator, it was pretty cool

Jesus Christ, no wonder Sonic fans have such a reputation for being autistic faggots.

>no wonder Sonic fans have such a reputation for being autistic faggots.
No, that's because of all the disgusting fetish porn, and the average destitute-tier quality of life they all share. And the shitty hygiene.
[fuck me, i just like going fast but fuck that, I'll never admit it in public. that shit has too much baggage because of those spastics[/spoiler]

It's true, but just the village and not the beach level too

holy shit

airship. The secret is that if you wait for the countdown to hit 5 seconds, you get to save a character. There's no indication for this anywhere in the game, nor is there any hint from what I remember.

that just metzen satanist stuff

In FF6
During the part where you're suppose to be going to the sealed cave, if instead you return to the airship you get an optional scene of Setzer and Cid working to repair it.

and the fact that the countdown relates to the whole place getting destroyed, and you have to sit on that edge for 5 or so minutes until the last 0:05 for him to reappear

kek

sup

The Chris Houlihan room.

While in tunnels if you hit up at a certain point you'd enter a secret area

>close to being malware
Nigger that is literally 100% malware.

I only saw one at the Kiln and got insta-gibbed by its bullshit projectile attack before I could appreciate it.

not to mention borderline (if not fully) illegal in most countries

is this game fun? looks fun

Woah what is this. This some hidden memory shit. This looks so familiar

Took me years of replaying before I found this.

You forgot

>you have to go up an elevator in Firelink shrine and then jump out quickly at one point
>then you go across some roof and edges from which if you slip you die
>then you gotta huddle down in the crow's nest for 30 secs
>so that it can fly you back to Undead Asylum
>and then you can fight another asylum demon
>oh and there's a fucking doll hidden in your old cell

>You can't even type the name of the game followed by "cheat", "hack", "mod" or the likes on google
>it will automatically close your web browser

This better be fucking creepypasta

How many fucking chintzy fangames like lostboy are you fucking idiots going to install before you learn not to give suspicious .exe's root access

they literally say "we have to wait for shadow" if you choose not to jump off

Damn you, I tried to check and only found this gif

I once cracked a game and found secret messages the developer left in the code. Also if you cracked it badly it'd randomly starts printing messages in the event log, implying it knew you cracked it.

so did you actually make it pirateable?

You stopped, right?

>java gaem
lmao

holy fuck those class/variable are disgusting, how can a person work with that?

What a missed opportunity, the perfect secret message for something like this would be
>aaaah, senpai you're cracking me open~~

Just for my personal use.

People run obfuscators on C# and Java stuff in a poor attempt to hard to slightly harder to modify. The actual developers have real class/variable names.

Fancier ones will do stuff like "encrypt" (even if just ROT13 or whatever) all strings and stuff.

>People run obfuscators on C# and Java stuff in a poor attempt to hard to slightly harder to modify. The actual developers have real class/variable names.

I see, interesting

I thought it was just gonna be slapped on bullshit but walking at night through the jungle was legit spooky. And the actual fight is a mother.

I swear if I was a dev I'd actually spend some time making something so stupidly cryptic that it wouldn't be discovered until well after my death. Like you'd have to find page 275 of a phone catalog of 1988 Norway to actually uncover it.

Even if no one ever found it, it would still be neat to know that even if the game wasn't terribly good or well-recognized it'd still have one surprised that could be found that no one would might ever see.

According to Miyazaki there is a secret third way to kill Ceaseless Discharge that no one has discovered yet

But hes also a ruse master so its hard to know if thats true or not.

I'm waiting for the 20th anniversary of a game so I can post a youtubevideo of never before seen suicide easter egg in a game. I know that no one has found it because google doesnt find it.

In the intro to DMC4, Dante's checking you out way before you even meet him.

There's two ways? All I know is beating him up.

Its probably something stupid like using the dried finger or whatever that item is called.

Holy shit, this is fucking shopped right ?

That's a nice one

Also Max in Dark Forces 2

Probably referring to letting it chase you, then knocking it down with a single hit, as opposed to fighting it normally.

neat

Do you not know about flashbangs?

oh, gotcha. agreed

The Midnight Mountain Skybox is just an edited version of the background from Dark Passage.

It's fucking not, that's a really cool one.
Nero is cool enough to take over the franchise, he passes the snazz test.

after he said that there was another way that started coming up in speed runs

What game is it?

Crash bandicoot.

Holy fuck, I have so many hours on this game and I've never even HEARD of these assholes. How the hell...?

Not even sure about this one, because I haven't heard this problem from anyone else, but I think I triggered some sort of DRM countermeasure in Arcanum, where my entire party is slain for talking to the Dorf.

Its pretty good.
And its look like its gonna be great.
