When it comes to games, I am a sucker for two things: a good story, and random easter eggs. The latter—not to be confused with those hidden around a garden during holy week—are known in gaming as fun, little inside jokes or hidden features not immediately apparent to the player.
If you made it this far, congratulations once again. I hope that figuring out how to get to this egg has not interrupted your sleep cycle—or worse yet, your laundry washing.
This edition’s easter egg is a short one. Similar to the easier, sequel-ish vibe this second edition has. Still, this may be of interest to those who want one more inane riddle to solve. Figuring this out leads to a little tidbit of information about yours truly.
I doubt figuring this puzzle out will lead to any life-changing revelations for you, but then again, this is a preview of an ultra-challenging version of the quest (maybe a special edition?) I’m planning to roll out in a few months. Understanding how to solve this might give one insight as to how to approach the Special Edition’s questions.
I hope.
in the days of blood and hunger
for our land they held ground
no uniforms in the chaos
brave heroes, cordilleran proud
this here ridge a ways from town
heading north, follow the road
take the exact number of clicks
combine. return. decode.
