Battlespire talk:Easter Eggs
Back to the FutureEdit
One of the five cogs needed to open the Star Galley Crib door in Level 1 is named the "Cog of Flux Capacitation". This is a pretty obvious reference to the Flux Capacitor found in the Back to the Future movies. Echo (talk) 19:08, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Mock TurtleEdit
Since it was mentioned on the NPC page, the Mock Turtle is a "suspected easter egg". The Mock Turtle is a character from Alice in Wonderland, whose appearance is based on the popular "mock turtle soup" of Lewis Carroll's day, which is also referenced in-game Echo (talk) 01:34, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
Herne the HunterEdit
The Herne may be a reference to the folkloric Herne the Hunter, especially given that both are involved with a great hunt of some sort, as well as both being in possession of antlers. — J. J. Fullerton ﴾talk﴿ 23:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
- This certainly seems to be a clear reference. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
TritonEdit
The "triton" enchantment, which increases the SWIMMING skill seems to be a reference to the Greek god, Triton. -Dcsg (talk) 21:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I think this one is pretty obvious and should be added The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Italian DolomitesEdit
Perhaps this isn't an Easter egg per se, but the picture of Skyrim in the race selection screen is actually a picture of the Dolomites mountain range. Jack3103 (talk) 18:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Star RoadEdit
There's an enchantment in the game called "Star Road" which apparently lets you teleport (that's what the wiki says—I can't try it in game because I've disabled axes). I believe this is a reference to Star Roads in Super Mario World [1] which teleport the player to the Star World. Jack3103 (talk) 17:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Leonardo da Vinci's TankEdit
In Level 6 the Havoc Wellhead, there tanks resembling the fighting machine shown in schematics for Leonardo da Vinci's fighting machine. Please see the following Wikipedia page for reference.
