Melodies from the Past: Whistling While You Forge
While working at the forge, attentive players may catch Indro whistling familiar tunes. The rhythm and strength of your hammer strikes dictate whether he switches between two melodies from the original Kingdom Come game. This subtle homage not only evokes nostalgia for veteran players but also delights newcomers who discover it.
The Cat in Boots: A Playful Nod to Folklore

Cats are known for their enigmatic nature, but one in Kingdom Come 2 stands out. Near the northern wall of Kutna Hora, east of the Kolin Gates, you'll find a gray cat standing upright, adorned in leather boots and gripping a tiny wooden sword. This amusing scene might evoke the Czech fairy tale Cat Mikes for local players, while Western audiences may think of Puss in Boots from Shrek and his standalone adventures. Keep an eye out for this playful creature, which is cleverly hidden among foliage.
A Tribute to Elden Ring's Legendary Player

In the southwestern corner of the Trosky region, near Semina Mill, the developers pay tribute to one of gaming's greatest legends: Let Me Solo Her from Elden Ring. Here, a skeleton lies beneath a tree, wearing a pot on its head, flanked by two neatly arranged swords and a red poppy. This poignant homage honors the player famous for helping others defeat Malenia, Blade of Miquella, solo.
Wizarding World Wonders: Harry Potter References

Warhorse Studios clearly has a soft spot for J.K. Rowling's magical universe, as evidenced by multiple Harry Potter Easter eggs. West of the charcoal burners' camp near Vidlak Pond, you'll find a skeleton on a broomstick with a golden snitch in its mouth, reminiscent of Harry's first Quidditch match. Nearby, a crashed carriage into a tree recalls Mr. Weasley's flying Ford Anglia. Near Vlashsky Court in Kutna Hora, explorers can uncover Quidditch paraphernalia, including balls, a Beater's bat, and training brooms. Use console commands with coordinates (3053 614 50) or scout from the city walls to find this treasure trove.
Skyrim Shout-Outs: Arrows and Adventures

Bethesda's Skyrim fans will enjoy these playful references in Kingdom Come 2. Encounter Karell with an arrow lodged in his head, and hear Indro mention someone else who suffered a similar fate—a nod to Skyrim's "arrow in the knee" line. Meet Zigmund, a shepherd north of Tachov, whose side quest "Sheep Among Wolves" humorously twists the meme with a ram biting him in the knee.
Aliens Among Us: UFO Crash Site

Venture to the far southwest of Nebakov, where rising smoke signals a crashed UFO just beyond the playable area. Though you can't investigate further, this extraterrestrial element showcases the developers' sense of humor and willingness to break the fourth wall.
Luffy's Hat: Become the Pirate King

Every aspiring pirate needs the right gear, and Kingdom Come 2 offers 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 delightful detail for anime enthusiasts.
Medieval Artistry: The Horse Conundrum

Thanks to the "Struggling Middle Ages" meme, many recognize the medieval artists' struggle with horse depictions. In Kingdom Come 2, this is humorously captured in the map view of Semina, where zooming in reveals an egg-shaped horse with a perpetually tormented expression, both funny and historically accurate.
Knightly Soap: Merchandise Meets Gameplay

Following the success of the first Kingdom Come game, Warhorse Studios released official merchandise, including Knightly Soap, which is now functional within the game. 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, observant players might spot a modern airplane crossing the sky. This deliberate Easter egg, positioned according to the rule of thirds, adds a touch of whimsy to the historically accurate setting. Some speculate it's a nod to the airplane cameo in Ridley Scott's Gladiator remake.
Mexican Mummies: Creepy Twins Make an Appearance

The 2023 discovery of elongated-skull mummies in Mexico inspired Warhorse Studios to include two unsettling twin figures in Kingdom Come 2. Their appearance adds a surreal element to the medieval world, reflecting contemporary fascination and memes.

Believe it or not, dinosaurs appear in Kingdom Come 2. Small theropods can be spotted in cutscenes, particularly early in the game.
