Revision as of 16:59, 16 October 2016

There are a lot of Easter Eggs in the Blood Ties DLC of Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration. Unlike the Easter Eggs found in the previous games these are mostly references to the earlier games.

List of Easter Eggs

• Winston in the Freezer

In the document Little Angel Winston mentions Lara pulling a prank on him, locking him in the walk-in freezer.

• Venice music

The Old Record Player in the Library plays a tune familiar to those that played Tomb Raider II; when Lara climbs the bookshelves while the music is playing it's very reminiscent of those Venice levels where she also visited a library. Also, there was a similar phonograph on Yamatai that played some eerie Japanese tune.

• Stuffed T-Rex

A stuffed T-Rex is located behind the desk in the manor's library; Lara had several run-ins with this kind of dinosaur, e.g. in Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II, Tomb Raider III, and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and most recently in Lara Croft: Relic Run and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris.

• Egyptian Ankh

An Ankh can be found in the basement of Croft Manor that looks a lot like it came from The Last Revelation.

• William Blake

A famous artist and author mentioned in the first movie.

• Elixir of Life

Title of a side-scroller Tomb Raider game for Mobile Phones.

• Sir Lancelot

In Tomb Raider Legend Lara finds Lancelot's Shield and the other Knights of the Round Table.

• Sir Reginald

The statue is missing its head which Lara took as a child in the Reboot Comic Lost and Found, Issue #9, centre pages.

• Croft Family Crest

The Secrets in Croft Manor of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend were similar in shape to the Croft Family Crest.

• Jade Dragon Statue

A Relic that can be found in the vault; it looks like the one in the Temple of Xian, a Tomb Raider II location; also, Stone Dragons were the secrets in that game.

• 142

One of the door codes that opens Lord Croft's Secret Vault; 14 February is Lara's birthday.

• Ticking Clocks

Throughout the manor there are quite a few clocks ticking away, which is a little reminiscent of the first movie where Lara wakes up to the ticking of a clock hidden under the stairs.

• Symbols in the Secret Vault

When Lara turns on the blacklight, symbols appear all over the walls; they are reminiscent the Symbols found in The Angel of Darkness.

• Golden Rose

Another relic, this time located in the Family Crypt; the secrets in Tomb Raider Chronicles were roses.

• Twin Pistols

Relic in the study after completing the game, a nod to Lara's classic weapons; also these seem to be the two weapons she acquired after Roth's death.

• Atlas

Another Relic in the study after completing the game; this is actually the artefact found in this game.

• Broken Katana

Once again, a Relic located in the study after completing the game; this one seems like a relic from Yamatai.
