Eight years later, players will find a hidden weapon in Guild Wars

Players in Guild Wars found an eight-year-old Easter egg this week after a former developer of the game offered some hints and teases to help point people in the right direction.

Earlier this month, Vlambeer developer Jan Willem Nijman asked others to share Easter eggs and secrets hidden in their games on Twitter. Hundreds of developers responded the tweet, which shares many secrets. Matthew Moore, a former developer at ArenaNet, explained that hidden in Guild Wars was a secret weapon which could only be found after talking to NPCs known as Xulani ArchivistsBut he admitted it may have been too well hidden, as no one ever found it.

This tweet, plus a little note left by Moore on the GW wiki and more hints and teases helped point the community in the right direction. Before that, no one had linked the points that the dialogue spoken by the Xulani archivists was indications of a hidden weapon. With this new information, players began to find a solution to this puzzle. It was not easy, as documented herein Reddit threadIn addition, Moore warned Easter egg hunters that there was a real chance that this nearly ten-year-old Easter egg would no longer work.

“This was meant to be an Easter egg,” explained Moore in a follow-up wiki note“Which means we haven’t tested it as rigorously as the core content (or even outside of our staging environment), and it was never intended to be core content. It’s eight-year-old, uncontrolled, unmaintained content. Will it work? Probably.”

Yesterday someone finally found the hidden weapon. Reddit user Evaziel posted a screenshot of the Silver Edge stats titled “Found iiiiiiiiiit jahhhhh.

“There is a place where Kilroy spawns in Drakkar near Sinhala, you have to go solo, luck of fortunes, gods favors, drop a cupcake or eat a cupcake (I didn’t do both so for sure) for Kilroy, the light of Deldrimor, a silver Vaettir will spawn, kill him. “

Using this information Guild Wars YouTuber GWReborn uploaded a video show you how to get this secret weapon, which is named after a prolific GW Wiki editorIt seems complicated, and Guild Wars players seem unimpressed by the sword itself. But with these things, the hunt is often the best part. The sword was added to the game in 2013 during a special event involving the Xulani archivists.

Earlier this month, a very similar series of events took place in Halo 5 As in this situation, it took some additional clues from the developers before players finally found the hidden Mongoose race. I now assume that there is at least one super-hidden secret in every old game I play.
