So, who are the "2 new sort-of-characters"? Is there really something to be found?

Gilray said at some point in an interview or article that the Easter egg is in game but is generated randomly. Even he doesn't know when it'll pop up. But I screen recorded certain parts of the game where sligs patrol in the background and their areas for hours and hours and when played back nothing came up..

Has anyone gone through the files yet?

Wil confirmed it was a hoax.

No he didn't, vlam. He said he didn't know the answer. It's Matt Glanville you want.

Holy Sock, Wil said it in a diplomatic way.

Perhaps they didn't make the final version of the game and no-one at JAW realised.

Honestly, it smells like a hoax. Super secret kind-of characters who generate randomly somewhere in the background? Seems like mediocre PR to keep the game relevant.

Like three posts and already I can't say anything without it being extrapolated to fuck.

Wil, who are the "2 new sort-of-characters"? The masses want to know.

I've already told you I don't know. Would you like me to find out?

Could you ask Glanville (with your authority)? I thought you were the one behind the idea of easter eggs (like Stranger HD).

Don't worry, I found out what they are.

It's Vlam. That's what he does.

Kjjcarpenter said the same thing. Furthermore, the members of OWI have found nothing so far.

That would be swell. If there are any that we missed that is.

Wait, do you guys mean the Steef in the FFZ??

There's a steef in the FFZ???????

Pics?

Yes, it may be a hoax (if I'm allowed to say).

That one rock that looks like a slog's head...he's standing up against it smoking, I mean I know he's semi silhouetted but it's still pretty obvious it's Steef. I'll try upload a pic at the weekend if you want.

FFZ?

Free Fire Zone.

And can you tell us?

Gee, I guess I could do that. Or, I could give you a clue! They are a variation of something you already know. I've spotted one of them in Paramonia, I'm going to check out Scrabania next.

Wil, you're a bigger tease than the Soulstorm ARG.

Wil is good at giving hints, but not at taking them

I've tried ROT13 but I still don't get it.

Is it Gas Bladders.

Gas Bladders was my most memorable character from Abe's Oddysee, I too am glad they thought of the long time fans and included the Gas Bladder character

Are gas bladders considered mechanical?

Considering it's a variant of something then perhaps we should be looking out for Liquid Bladders? Or Solid Bladders.

It's not a bladder of any phase.

When Wil mentioned Paramonia I opened up New n Tasty and did probably the slowest run in the leader board. Every few steps I was checking for any change in the foreground or background, so either it's in the Paramonia Temple and not Paramonia, or I'm just unlucky.

I'm guessing it's some of the live ammo from SW, hidden in a nook or possibly a cranny.

I'm gessing albino paramite and albino scrab...

I don't think so.
They are supposed to be mechanical.

@AmazingManco Mechanical is correct.

I don't think they're in the temples. I'll add that the one I found in Paramonia isn't in motion. You don't have to wait for it or race to spot it before it disappears.

Is it randomized? Or in specific locations?

Pretty they're in set locations every time, one each in Scrabania and Paramonia.

EDIT: uh disregard this post i didn't realize there was a second page

I played through Paramonia again yesterday and I genuinely could not see anything out of the ordinary.

None of the floating bombs or chant suppressors appeared to be unique. I did notice some of the land mines in the Elum jump sections have some sort of extensions on them to make them cover a wider platform, but I don’t think that’s what we’re looking for here.

The only thing I noticed about the landmines in Paramonia is that some of them were clipping through sheer rock. I shall play through scrabania and keep and even more honed eye out for anything and then maybe try Paramonia again.

E: I just crawled through all of Scrabania and Paramonia for the second time looking for anything "mechanical" even native mechanical like windmills or gas bladders. I still turned up absolutely nothing besides a few hilarious bugs. Both in Scrabania: At one point Abe's health birds were static in the air and hung there until reload, and another time at a certain checkpoint whenever I possesed a Slig and unposses the camera would focus on an invisible Abe a checkpoint back, and this Abe was able to walk on air but not pass walls.

EE: I noticed that the mudokons of different areas have different tribal masks, nice touch.
EEE:I noticed a cactus floating off of the side of a platform. bad touch.
