I've fed coal to the goat, thrown chocolate at the ghost, caused a skull to leer at Nico, even used lipstick on the skateboarder to free up a view of the Eiffel Tower.

I'm fairly sure I've found the Easter Eggs in Broken Sword 2 and 3. Broken Sword 4? Can't find any. Selon moi, il n'y en a point, as Nico would say.

Anyone found any BS4 Easter Eggs?

reikidave; Every once in a while a title just hits me as a classic. I've only played one of the Broken Sword games and it struck me as very average. However, anything that starts out "I've fed coal to the goat" must be considered way at the top of the classic list. Thanks for brightening my day

Oooh, didn't know about any easter eggs in BS3....thanks for that.

Your "signature" says a lot to me. Although I had a Greatgrandfather who came from England, the recognition of some of the words or phrases eludes me from time to time when EMailing to someone there. Too bad that sort of thing doesn't get passed down in the genes.

I'll post my list of BS2 and 3 easter eggs if anyone wants...........

Please do.

Broken Sword 2

When you are in Quaramonte City, let George offer the goat standing beside the picture by the mining offices the piece of coal: you'll get a great James Stewart-impersonating goat.

(I've heard that you can also fire it from your catapult and something interesting happens, but I can't say what - if anyone has tried this, please let me know!)

In the London Underground, Nico should buy a bar of ancient chocolate from the vending machine in the abandoned Underground Station with the old coin, and then offer the chocolate to the ghost which appears. The, she should go to the end of the tunnel, and turn left - she will become part of a short animation involving Robert Foster, hero of Beneath A Steel Sky.

This is harder to describe than it is to find............near the end, when you are inside the pyramid, you come to a puzzle involving tiles and dials. Rather than spending ages on it, try this: just above the tiles there is a serpentine carving with, to the right, a skull. Have a search around with the cursor (this is old-school pixel-hunting!) - if you are successful, the cursor will become a cross. Click, and the solving the puzzle won't be necessary (not only will the door open, but the skull will have a peek at Nico's decolletage).



Broken Sword 3

You only get one shot at this easter egg! After leaving Vernon's apartment for the first time, you should see a skateboarder. Approach him and try to use the lipstick on him. Nico will say "There was no way I was going to do that!" or something similar. Walk down the street until you pass the park: either cross the road, or turn right. If you tried to use the lipstick on the skateboarder, you should the River Seine or the Eiffel Tower. (I can't remeber which exit takes you where). As far as I can tell, this is the only use for the lipstick in the whole game.


I cannot find any Easter Eggs in Broken Sword 4 (I have tried, oh how I have tried ): if anyoone has found some, please post!
