Melodies from the Past: Whistling While You Forge
As you work alongside Indro at the forge, you might catch him whistling familiar tunes. The rhythm and strength of your hammer strikes can influence him to switch between two distinct melodies from the first Kingdom Come game. This subtle nod to the original game brings a wave of nostalgia for returning players and serves as a charming discovery for newcomers.
The Cat in Boots: A Playful Nod to Folklore

In the game, near the northern wall of Kutna Hora, east of the Kolin Gates, a unique gray cat can be found standing upright in leather boots and wielding a tiny wooden sword. This whimsical scene may evoke memories of the Czech fairy tale Cat Mikes for local players, while Western audiences might recognize the playful character as Puss in Boots from Shrek and his standalone adventures. Be sure to look closely, as this delightful creature is partially hidden by foliage.
A Tribute to Elden Ring's Legendary Player

In the southwestern corner of the Trosky region, near Semina Mill, a touching tribute awaits. Here, you'll find a skeleton lying beneath a tree with a pot on its head, flanked by two neatly arranged swords and a red poppy growing nearby. This is a heartfelt homage to Let Me Solo Her, the legendary Elden Ring player renowned for helping others defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella, without assistance.
Wizarding World Wonders: Harry Potter References

Warhorse Studios shows its affection for J.K. Rowling's magical universe with several Easter eggs inspired by Harry Potter. West of the charcoal burners' camp near Vidlak Pond, a skeleton perched atop a broomstick with a golden snitch in its mouth pays homage to Harry's first Quidditch match. Additionally, a crashed carriage reminiscent of Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia can be found nearby. For a deeper dive into the wizarding world, explore near Vlashsky Court in Kutna Hora, where you can find a treasure trove of Quidditch paraphernalia including a box of Quidditch balls, a Beater's bat, and training brooms. To access this location, use console commands with coordinates (3053 614 50) or scout from the city walls.
Skyrim Shout-Outs: Arrows and Adventures

Fans of Bethesda’s Skyrim will appreciate the playful nods in Kingdom Come 2. Encounter Karell, a character with an arrow lodged in his head, and hear Indro casually mention someone else who met a similar fate—an unmistakable reference to Skyrim’s infamous “arrow in the knee” line. Additionally, meet Zigmund, a shepherd living north of Tachov, whose side quest "Sheep Among Wolves" reveals 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 brave enough to 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 edge of the playable area. Although you can't investigate further, this inclusion of extraterrestrial elements showcases the developers’ sense of humor and their willingness to playfully break the fourth wall.
Luffy's Hat: Become the Pirate King

Every aspiring pirate needs the right gear, and Kingdom Come 2 includes 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 brings joy to anime enthusiasts and adds a unique flair to your character.
Medieval Artistry: The Horse Conundrum

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

Following the success of the first Kingdom Come game, Warhorse Studios released official merchandise, including Knightly Soap. Now, this soap isn't just a collectible within the game itself; 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, eagle-eyed players may spot a modern airplane soaring across the sky. Far from being an oversight, this detail seems to be a deliberate Easter egg. Positioned according to the rule of thirds, the plane draws attention and adds a whimsical touch 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 embraced this trend by introducing two unsettling twin figures that resemble the viral photos into Kingdom Come 2. Their appearance adds a surreal element to the otherwise grounded medieval world.
Prehistoric Surprises: Dinosaurs Roam Free

Surprisingly, dinosaurs make an 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 injects a lighthearted absurdity into the otherwise serious atmosphere.
