25 Awesome Starfield Easter Eggs & Secrets That Are Out Of This World!

[@dman_richardson7246]

Might be bit of a stretch but in the mission you have to board a ship to steal an artifact if you do the persuasion check on the first guard who stops you. You can turn around and drop down into an area with shallow water and garbage, there’s a non hostile one-eyed alien crawling around in it. A reference to the trash compactor scene in A New Hope

[@acarria]

Yeah there's several Star Wars references so it's not a very far stretch tbh. xD there's a round space station you can board that has a bit of a dark theme to it...and there's a maintenance npc that says "I wonder why they built only one ventilation shaft.....It's big enough to fly a ship into." The person in charge of that station is wearing a black hood and he just laughs menacingly when you try to interact with him.

[@SITE-11RP]

@@acarriawhat star station is that ? I MUST see this myself I live finding EE’s like this in their games.

[@diamondedge83]

In the Vangaurd quest line when you are supposed to tell the robot Kaizer a code phrase, one of the optional dialogue choices is "Bah Weep Graaagnah Wheep Ni Ni Bong" which is the "Universal Greeting" from The Transformers: The Movie (1986).

[@SticksEasty]

Yeah i totally nerded out on that one lol its was cool

[@gazc00p]

I only saw this one yesterday and laughed a lot. Seriously wanted to pick it in the dialog options but wimped out and actually chose the password. "Don't touch that dial"

[@tylerfriske955]

There’s a easter egg about the mantis quest you can get. Once you make your way into the layer of the “mantis”. The foundation is very similar to the bat cave. The armor/spacesuit is located in the center of the foundation in each resembles Batman’s suit/armor. I found it to be quite interesting

[@elileubner949]

the ugly asf mantis suit does not resemble the bat suit

[@jacobmiller6289]

the mantis could very well also be a sly reference to the silver shroud from fallout. in universe heroic figure that the player character takes the mantle of, and has recognition from the local flavor of criminals.

[@tylerfriske955]

@@jacobmiller6289 that’s true I agree with you but there’s lot of ways where they can take with this easter egg

[@DJ_Bonebraker]

The portrait next to Niel Armstrong's is Yuri Gagarian, aka the first human in space & first person to complete an orbit of the earth. Another possible Easter Egg is if you go to the Eridani star system. If you travel to the 3rd planet in the system, there is a massive amount of space station debris/wreckage in orbit, despite there being almost no facilities on the surface. Thing is, Eridani III was in Babylon 5 and was the planet the eponymous space station orbited, so I don't think the space station parts floating around is a coincidence. Also, Eridani II also exists & is a habitable Earth-like planet, and the second planet in the Epsilon Eridani system was also a habitable, Earth-like planet in the Halo universe known as Reach... Also, not sure if it counts as an Easter Egg, per se, but if you choose the "Kid Stuff" trait, your character's parents are voiced by Nana Visitor & Tim Russ... AKA Major Kira Nerys from Star Trek Deep Space Nine & Commander Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.

[@krisvires]

I was gonna say that portrait was Alexi Leonov... doesn't really look like Gagarin to me... maybe Titov?

[@motivateddad]

It's the planet when the Halo existed in the Halo universe.

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

Also the guy voicing Walter Stroud is Armin Shimerman. Quark from Star Trek Deep Space nine!

[@pdraggy]

I also heard a Star Trek podcast that claimed (I think it was) Eridani III as Planet Vulcan. I don't recall the details but it has some very similar traits/ looks or something? Oh and the entire ECS Constance quest is a dead ringer for ST.

[@LacroixboiMarx]

Oof. The Alex Hay note gets me all messed up.

[@joshuajones9035]

Yea, I hope he rest’s easy, his memory will always be with us amongst the Starfield!

[@Rubix003]

Same. They have done something like this in every game sense Oblivion. In fallout 4 it was a character in the DLC "Nuka World".

[@cobraman90]

They're also adding the Skyrim grandma into esVI

[@dummyquiccc9695]

Ahhh yes. I forget that “oof” is the correct response to these situations.

[@legionrinzler5081]

I named my ship after Alex after I saw his post and then sadly passed away later, as a way to remember a fallen gamer and explorer

[@dracotias]

There's a quest you can do that involves clones and at one point you can find a cloning tube with a post-it note stating that "clone Gary_23 has been transferred to facility V-108" and is dated as year 2277

[@kuatojones6950]

Ive been looking for any connection of fallout to starfield, I pretend it's the same universe.

[@drakowerewolf7209]

Considering that Starfield is a multiverse spanning story game, there's a non 0% chance that one of the universes, that Starferer ends up in, is the Fallout universe. @@kuatojones6950

[@josiahbahuaud2294]

Ha ha ha! Gaaaaaaary!

[@MOCTurtle4911]

Grandma is supposedly a reference to Skyrim grandma, a real player. Also for completing the Rangers questline you get a gun called the Justifier which I imagine is a reference to Justified as it is a Marshall that gives it to you.

[@evangelinehelsing4625]

In The Mantis quest I immediately thought of the show Fringe, a sci-fi show about alternate universes. In Fringe's main characters travel to the alternate universe they find out that their version of Batman was replaced by a hero called the Mantis after a 1990's series "The Death of Batman". & since the Mantis in game is clearly supposed to be it's version of Batman I immediately made the connection. Although Fringe is an old show at this point so I thought it was a coincidence at first until I got further in the story & found out it's also about alternate universes! Guess I'm not the only one who loved & remembered that show xP

[@MarmotaUcigassa]

Fringe was my first ever show 😍😍😍

[@SixStringflyboy]

I was a huge fan of that show and completely forgot about this!

[@georgeskelton2554]

One small step - first mission One giant leap - final mission Thought that was pretty cool

[@affluenza5272]

I enjoyed the “space ship extended warranty” joke. Hail a specific ship and they try to sell you extended warranty.

[@stablish4314]

The married couple arguing was funny too, reminded me of my nan and grandad on a long car journey lol

[@TIannone]

oh yeah i killed that guy lol

[@acarria]

The books on the ES6 easter egg there, if they don't fall over it will have the first two leaning and the 3rd straight up thus "Scroll VI". So yes it is a subtle nod to that. There is also a guard in the prison mission for the Crimson Fleet, where he is dead and there is a metal rod with a fork on the end in his knee. Definitely a fun one there. On the planet with Paradiso, there's an outpost in the north. In this outpost you will see a vault door with the number "101" on it. A bit to the east of that location you will see an abandoned mine with another door that has "76" on it. By both you'll find a bottle of soda with 4 bottle caps. There's another reference where there's an SSNN reporter with the same name as the Dead Rising one, wearing a similar jacket. He will mention how he used to be on a planet with an outbreak that made people eat each other....or at least that he remembers. On a desert planet, there's a giant fossilized egg near a science outpost that looks awefully similar to the Jurrasic Park's first movie science lab. As well the planet has T-Rex looking aliens too and there are Brachio looking ones that when you go close enough you'll get a tune similar to the famous JP one. Aboard the abandoned armory starship that ran into power issues and lost it's gravity functions, there is a fan with an old man's body stuck in it. At the bottom of that shaft is a chocolate bar with a golden W on it. Clearly a Wonka reference there. There was a volleyball with a face on it on Paradiso too. Pretty sure it's the same Wilson face but I'm not too familiar to say for certain, some kinda easter egg though. The "that was my sandwhich" line is from Fast and the Furious 2 I believe it was. He takes the guy's sandwhich and takes a bite out of it then insults em for it being a bad tasting sandwhich. But the guy says that exact line. Not sure if that's specifically from it's referencing, but the guy looks like the one he called "Fabio" in a way so it's likely it. But yeah those were some I found as well xD there are so so many out there. Oh, and a fun one to find is a toy of a skeleton on a horse, when you put it on a shelf next to a desk globe, the head of the skeleton catches on fire. Ghost Rider anyone xP

[@justdomshow]

i've been searching for hours for the Wilson volleyball one do you remember specifically where it's location or near??

[@scartekgaming]

i found two Stephen King references in the Lock on Suvarov - 1st is in the Sorting area up on top of one of the rooms is a note saying "we need bigger cuffs for prisoner JC#1932, this guy's huge" a reference to King's Green Mile JC being John Coffey and 1932 being the year the BOOK was set - 2nd is located in one of the cells - there is a poster on the wall that looks to be covering up a series of cracks along with a hammer laying on the floor, a nod to King's Shawshank Redemtion where Dufresne digs out of the cell with a rock hammer

[@lisah-p8474]

Nice. I'm going to keep an eye out for a trained space mouse who likes peppermint candies and answers to the name Mr Jingles.

[@grumble]

The Terrormorph thing is genuinely one of my favourite curiosities in this game. And then there's the whole Dishonored 2 homage... it's far into the main quest, so I don't want to say too much, but they basically made an equivalent of A Crack In The Slab, the mission where you get the Timepiece and jump between different planes/timelines in the same building. Also, found a Prey reference (I think): a mug that says "Contains coffee. Maybe." (Funnily enough, at NASA.)

[@nikemike9652]

The Gary Easter egg has a 2nd part. If you go to the facility of clones there are some large glass tubes on the 2nd floor. Next to the tubes is a note that says Gary, year 2277 and that he has been moved to vault 108

[@ryanprice4836]

In the Cydona mines on Mars if you speak to the robot that is broken on the lowest floor where the miners one of his voice lines say "There's no doom in this quake..."

[@Basicxproductions]

The scroll holder could just be reference to the signing the two parties did after tons of death from war. They talk about it in the vanguard/uc plot show room with the button lights

[@TimDownsAnimation]

There’s a Skyrim painting in the Infinity LTD building when you enter the lobby for the final big Ryujin mission. It’s a little sketchy looking but it’s def a snowy tundra scene with a dragon flying in the distance.

[@ariadneraynor]

There are signs in various places in the galaxy that say, "Blue Harvest" on them. That was the working name for when Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi was being filmed. :)

[@josiahbahuaud2294]

Something something dark side. 😂

[@DJH3006]

For halo Easter Eggs in Starfield, they added the entire planet of Reach from Halo: Reach in the game as well.

[@matthewlopez2128]

Granted yes it’s in the game but that’s also a real planet in that system. Not saying it’s not cool though I love that! Can’t wait for a mod that add noble team as companions and I bet that’s where you have to go and pick them up

[@JussyB71]

Found an 'ear grub' in a jar that looks exactly like the critter Khan used in Star Trek Wrath of Khan on Chekov.

[@whssy]

Ear grub... could also be a Hitchhikers Guide reference.

[@johnmoore-fm9db]

The Londinium easter egg you claim is Halo... Well I thought that was a Starship Troopers reference, in fact that whole UC induction was very on point for Starship Troopers.

[@clintblahblah6327]

If you would like to hear more...click here. I completely agree with you

[@predatoredaria4557]

in the game there's the background "long hauler" and the space trucker's outfit. If you scroll all the preset characters in the beginning you can find who seems to be Jack Burton from Big trouble in Little China.

[@cliffsmith23]

It might be a bit of a stretch, but the name of the planet on which New Atlantis is located is Jemison, very similar to the name of the player character, Commander Jameson, in the 1984 space exploration game Elite, a legendary game that in many ways is a direct ancestor to Starfield.

[@blagageorge3824]

pretty sure its a reference to astronaut Mae Carol Jemison, the first african-american woman in space; all the planets and moons in alpha centauri are named for astronauts, i mean hell one is called Gagarin

[@georgediaz1259]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sol Symphony is a double reference to both John Williams & Gustav Holst. The conductor behind The Planets

[@SH-qs7ee]

On Paradiso, the lost and found mission has several movie easter eggs in the 'found' section, including a sapphire necklace found at the bottom of the ocean and a ring found after a volcanic eruption.

[@TheSinfulKnight]

Finally, I'm like 200hrs in and have only seen a handful of bugs, exploits, but no easter eggs.

[@gracehobratschk9047]

Surprised y'all didn't miss Cora Coe's shirt, "The Silence of Sand" and it has two suns over a desert on it. Reference to one of the most iconic scenes in Star Wars.

[@gracehobratschk9047]

Did miss*

[@erycdamaso_613]

Well, in addition to the ones listed, there's a few more: - Space Shanties! - Epsilon III (Reach) - Earth landmarks - Star Wars! (POSTERS!?!?!) - Terminator Judgment Day (Ah crap, here we go again - Sam Coe) - Deathclaw = Terrormorph Any others I missed?

[@ItzBrando08]

Not sure this count as an easter egg. In Futurama ep. 81 "The Duh-Vinci Code" at 9:25 to 9:41 an octopus holding up pistols like in the skill, ballistic rank 4.

[@matthewlopez2128]

Obviously the mantis quest is referencing to the bat cave but I was thinking and it might be a stretch but I think it has two meaning. The second being a reference to manta man from fallout comics book. Crime fighting mantis. Coincidence?

[@SixStringflyboy]

It's from the TV show Fringe, which is about parallel universes: "Other changes exist in the parallel universe's popular culture; Eric Stoltz stars in Back to the Future, the musical Dogs has replaced Cats as the longest running Broadway musical, the Sherlock Holmes books were never written, and many comic book characters are different or do not exist such as Green Lantern being Red Lantern and Batman being the Mantis." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythology_of_Fringe

[@TiberiousGreene]

I am actually shocked you missed one of the biggest ones! That the UC and Fleet reference starship troopers in two lines “everyone fights no one quits if you dont do your job I’ll kill you myself, welcome to the fleet” and “service guarantees citizenship” and the whole mantis quest is basically Batman lol

[@Justinlingo777]

In one of the main missions for Walter ya have to go to a rich collectors ship and steal one of the artifacts in one of his displays in the main room when you talk to him you'll find Sputnik on display

[@BleuQuill80]

I came here to point out Delvin Mallory, D-Block Secrion 01 Prisoner List. D-01-119. Nice find!

[@ChaoticChief117]

There was a reference to Transformers in the quest to retrieve Kaiser, when he asks for the password there is the option to say the iconic universal greeting

[@cdizzy35]

The lack of DOOM references so far in a Bethesda game that actually lets you go to Mars is currently a huge let-down, but I'm dead certain that they're there somewhere

[@Ben-Hollingbery]

Also, when you do the quest on the planet with the reformed prisoners, the alien crabs look a lot like mudcrabs

[@jakerice8518]

The reliant doctor on Neon also says "Please state the nature of your medical emergency" Which is an obvious star trek reference.

[@dusterssixteen]

There's a bunch of videos already, but the reference to the spam calls about your Car's Extended Warranty is a good one. Also the Sea Shanty Easter egg too.

[@richarddobson756]

There's an aid item called Reconstim which is the same shape and design as the drugs packaging you see dotted around in Minority Report and see Tom Cruise holding and using throughout. It's pretty unique packaging that I havent seen elsewhere

[@noxwarlord4909]

Yes!

[@wild_thing]

I picked up a weapon with a custom skin, on the skin is wrote "No Gods, No Masters", I think it was from a chest on the first mission but I can't quite remember, but it's a reference from New Vegas

[@botodd4679]

I got that gun too. I thought it was a regular skin for those guns. Dunno what I ever did with it.

[@dragour8723]

The Sixth Circle feels like a little nod to the Sixth House of Morrowind. The bar is where the red devils hang out and the Sixth House was Dagoth Ur and his daedra

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

Ive found three Star Trek voice actors in game so far. If you have the perk Kid Stuff your parents are voiced by Nana Visitor (Major Kira from Star Trek Deep Space nine) and Tim Russ (Tuvok From Star Trek Voyager and Picard) and Walter Stroud is voiced by Armin Shimerman (Quark from Star Trek Deep Space Nine)

[@thatguytravis2200]

I’m pretty sure the terra morph mission is about starship troopers

[@thatsdruidic]

I've seen references to Star Trek Voyager, Babylon 5, Transformers (1986) and Battletech. Good times.

[@maxrander0101]

the mechs are clear proof of a battletech one lol hell they even look like one of the mechs from that universes games

[@kristoffermangila]

Just look at Vasco the robot...

[@Daedaleus0]

You forgot a Halo reference. Eridani system, where Reach is said to be located in. It's in the bottom left corner on the star map.

[@SlytherinReviews]

Don't forget the Watch Case in YOUR room in the Lodge

[@CassBlackflame]

That's my sandwich, aww man might be the best random line in a bethesda game. But, I'm here to say that I was present at two of the recording moments. The Easy Money shot and the Explorer one. Fun times.

[@xIChaosReaperIx]

The planet Eridani II is Reach from Halo

[@radionoakmont7756]

and also looks like the weapons seen in Starship troopers too and the creatures climbing over the wall looks like the Arachnids in movie over taking that base before the giant beetle attacks in the Halo ref there he does look a lot like Master Chief,

[@demoonmunkay]

Here’s one for you. In the city of Neon if you head tomthe Reliant Medical room theres a chance that physician theres will say “Please state the nature of the medical emergency.” Anyone who has watch Star Trek Voyager will know that as the greeting of the ship’s EMH, emergency medical hologram, AKA The Doctor.

[@kennethsherman7450]

There is a base ball display in the Frontier above your bed. That is a reference to the base ball field from Fallout 4 called Diamond City

[@bigboppermanny13]

Did the gun called The Regulator that looks just like the pistol from Fallout New Vegas called that gun that was a reference to the Blade Runner gun also there's a nirnroot looking plant in the game

[@allenaju1856]

There is a poster on one of the planets called The Outpost it looks like the Flood or the Necromorph attacking a base.

[@dephtons]

I'm pretty sure Vasco says the names, Rockatansky, Furiosa and Imperator :)

[@ricksher1320]

To add to the Office Space easter egg, .001 is the amount they were skimming.

[@jakekamahele5538]

If you have “child’s play” as a perk, when you visit your parents are go into your old bedroom, there’s a bottle of lotion under the bed

[@Ben-Hollingbery]

There's a news report I heard about a bounty hunter firing into a crowd on Cydonia and only hitting his target. He was released after police questioning. I think it's a blade runner reference.

[@scareditymays6yearsago477]

Considering Bethesda’s fondness for referencing Blade runner in fallout it’s not too far fetched

[@AWARHERO]

17:26 I WAS RIGHT!!! It is the CALYPSO! WOOT!!!

[@2leftfeet113]

So probably another coincidence but if you swap out Sam Coe for Sarah he calls her big boss which is a little funny if you consider he character looks a lot like the old voice actor for Snake from the Metal Gear Series.

[@gtp_vexd3507]

Kid: “mom... what’s tenuous mean?” Mom: “here; watch this.....”

[@psycorabbit86]

You missed a couple movie references. The lost and found computer on the paradiso resort has a reference to Titanic and lord of the rings

[@ValosarX]

The doctor on Neon will, from time to time, say "State the Nature of Your Medical Emergency" which is a direct quote from Voyager's emergency medical hologram

[@GR1MRACER]

Are the Leeches a reference to SG1 and the Goa'uld.

[@fernandoluisparedes2333]

the NASA mug can be found in the NASA base on Earth... and could be found MANY of them. Also, have u seen Cora's shirt? is a desert landscape with two Suns at dawn.. That remembers me a movie

[@coastkid704]

In the vanguard mission where they captured a terromorph it’s held in the same room you had to hide behind a chair in from the start of Prey 2017 I thinks there’s even a mug (Should’ve put a sticky note on it😂)

[@cagevalcore]

You missed one that they double down on if you take the Kids Stuff Trait. Theirs a poster for “Silence of the Sands” and “Muzzle and Me”, in the games home decorator. And if you have the aforementioned Kid Stuff Trait. You can hear a conversation between your mom and dad. Where mom wants to watch a movie, and recommends “Silence of the Sands”, to which dad talks about how he was hoping for something less heavy. And then he suggests “Muzzle and Me” to which mom exclaims “the children movie?”. This is a clear nod to “Silence of the Lambs” and “Marley and Me”.

[@SixStringflyboy]

Could have also been a reference to the space alien-themed movie "Mac and Me"

[@joelturner5957]

Kreet stalkers had me scared for the first 20 mins of my play thru 😂

[@redeclipse1041]

I think the Halo reference is even more specific. The whole atmosphere looks like the Floodgate level in Halo 3

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

I have seen the scroll at the lodge on at least one character. Never checked with others but i will now lol

[@mogonja420]

Scroll/book combo did spawn for me.

[@must_titan9556]

In the cydona on mars can you find the human face of Mars, which became quite famous a few years ago

[@trondreamer8073]

3:17 I think that’s a fallout Easter egg. In fallout 3 you’re given a sweet roll with a candle in it for your birthday

[@SixStringflyboy]

It's been a running gag since The Elder Scrolls: Arena way back in 1994. The Fallout 3 appearance is itself an easter egg/nod to ESA.

[@ninjasocks1812]

To my eyes, Plushie GalactiCat looks like Cait Sith from Final Fantasy XIV (who is a nod to Cait Sith from FFVII).

[@halfcirclehranch6877]

on Great Expectations, on the screenshot that you said the book didn't spawn, take a second look. In the one where Great Expectations is there, there are two books laying down. On the one where you say it didn't spawn, there are three books laying down. Great Expectations may just sometimes fall over, and be one of the three books laying down.

[@Moscato_The_T-rex]

How cool of a mod would it be if you could have master chief armor as a spacesuit?

[@lukeholbrook5366]

Cant remember which one it was but in one military outpost I found a tape measure in a shower suggesting someone was having a little richard measuring competition 😅

[@Humongous100]

I found an Easter Egg for the 1990's TV Show Walker, Texas Rangers staring Chuck Norris... Inside the Ranger's HQ THE ROCK on Cheyenne, there is a mission on the Mission Board called "ONE RIOT, ONE RANGER" that is also the name of the Walker, Texas Ranger Season One Episode One and Two.

[@DaltonSnare]

MAJOR SPOILERS BASED ON COMPANION.... During Sam's memorial service, one of the dialogue options I had was "see you, space cowboy" which is a reference to some of the end title cards in the anime Cowboy Bebop

[@ILoveSkyrim]

Anyone else thought of sam having a fantasy about potatoes at golem as soon as they saw the potatoes?

[@clydedenby1436]

You missed the systems named for famous cultural icons of space such as Nicola Tesla and Carl Sagan.

[@chris-parker]

You can also get a painting for your outpost that appears to be a mountain range with a dragon flying around.

[@AXGInsanity]

The best thing that could have happened is if they made a planet Tamriel, yes they could have made it deserted and died down like things have been buried but they should keep the graybeards building in the Starfield, an a note from the Dragonborn that you can only interact with if you are starborn

[@americasmostwantedhater]

i was hoping for a doctor who reference but i haven't found any

[@chillipalmer3007]

Some of the daggers dropped in the game too are named after elderscrolls locations

[@twitch6260]

My worst fear come true, space faring Gary's.

[@sama1220]

You forgot the vanguard is just the mobile infantry from starship troopers. Service guarantees citizenship

[@alanq64]

I'm wondering if instead of referring to Halo, the picture refers to the movie Starship Troopers. That's the impression I got anyways.

[@SixStringflyboy]

I thought the terrormorph above him looked like a definite nod to Starship Troopers. This one was a two-fer.

[@Johnny_boi1313]

The 1st one was genius ngl

[@jerynfast9]

The halo reference is more of a Starship Troopers Reference considering the bugs in the background.

[@JohnSmith-gb5vg]

Jacques Cousteau’s ship Calypso in the lodge by the engineers table 😊

[@nerdynautilus5373]

There’s an obvious Titanfall 2 reference in the Entanglement main story mission
