THE LAST OF US PART 2 - 25 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References

[@fiukdepressions79]

in a small table next to Joel's bed, there are glasses and a book about astronomy, indicating that Joel wanted to connect more to Ellie by learning about the planets and the space, that almost made me cry :(

[@shydreameress264]

Stop please this is so sad.. 😢

[@PauloMateusC]

Wow.. ;((

[@fabiosiqueiradub]

I was crying my heart out, when I saw this it only made me cry even more

[@Kenjathor]

Man when she started to sing Joel's song "If i ever were to lose u" always made me sad..😔

[@crippleized]

And seeing his fucking cereal bowl on the kitchen table was really humbling as well. It really gave you a sense of his loneliness.

[@EmRTonk]

You missed Joels Jacket in his house. You can find his OG jacket in the closet and its a super touching moment in the game.

[@GiantMovieNerdtm]

Dude I was already crying before that and then I saw it and was fucking bawling

[@Enogimka]

@@GiantMovieNerdtm hey that part of the game man I had to pause it man this parr broke me. I was crying at the grave and this also reminded me of when I've discovered The Last of Us it was after a family member died I actually had to pause the game a little while at the grave yard part right before we get to Joel's house. Mais this game really had load of thing that made it so good man.

[@earl_stranger3878]

Its touching indeed, so was the golf club on Joel's brain

[@jeramyperez8780]

When Ellie ran into traps with Dina she references a crazy guy (Bill) who “boobytrapped a whole town”

[@thy_crabbo]

He literally did though.

[@adamski749]

Hehe, booby.

[@fiukdepressions79]

If you throw a brick in the traps before Dina, Ellie will say, "I saw Joel do it" Funny that it is necessary to disarm one of the traps with a brick to advance in the first game.

[@jaimeiglesias9881]

WORTH MENTIONING. When you first control Abby, and get to the dinner room with all the Wolves people, if you go to one of the groups having lunch; you can hear them talking about a franchise of books about a young wizard that goes to a magical boarding school. They also mention the appearance of a Dark Lord, and that it is worth reading. It was cool.

[@jettpackpenguin]

In the record shop where Ellie plays Take On Me there is a poster for a Pearl Jam album which is the same album that includes Future Days

[@kerrfitnessandcoaching3976]

What a song I feel connected too it because of the meaning behind in this game now.

[@renenoriega1530]

I guess a most accurate reason is that album was released in 2013 and that pearl jam is from Seattle ;)

IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?

[@xplosive3]

[@jakefernandez7841]

Easter Egg: Playing as Ellie, when in the bank in downtown Seattle, Dina mentions a movie she saw about a bunch a surfer bank robbers. This is a reference to the famous movie Pointbreak with Keanu Reeves.

[@infernogames1724]

Spoiler Easter Egg: When you take control of Adult Abby for the third time, in the first cutscene right before you play as her you can find her reading City of Thieves, which was an inspiration for the original game

[@TheNickness]

I noticed that but not knowing the book I thought it was made up for the game like many other things lol, gotta do some research I guess

[@TheNickness]

Oh wait, I saw the main character is called Lev, like the serafite kid in TLOU 2! That's a cool little detail

[@Ponce1656]

Abby's lent the Count of Monte Cristo to a WLF guardsman and at some point Ellie makes reference to Point Break starring Keanu Reeves.

[@angelrose503]

Captain Eggcellent ahh that sucks man but still he was the most peaceful part of the game it was kinda like Ellie has forgotten what happen and was just enjoying the moment with Dina you could hear it in her voice she wasn’t angry but she was calm and happy for once her mind taken off about what happen

[@TheNickness]

That was one of my favourite scenes in the whole game and it's even missable, what a masterpiece

[@angelrose503]

TheNickness yeah most scenes like that can often be missed by people who just rush through

[@oldsoul1384]

I know!! It was touching

[@ludercrisps8771]

There's a wall in the aquarium on which you can see the names of the people who supported the aquarium by becoming members. The Platinum members are all employees of naughty dog

[@TheNickness]

Cool, I read those names and thought it would've been nice if they were like the most loyal fans' names, but developers' names are cool too

[@v0rt3x41]

I thought that might be right but I never bothered to check, to busy trying to get my name up on the board and seduce Owen.

[@Hurley-ck6dz]

there’s a part in the dinosaur area when ellie finds a hero card and joel references pokémon

[@TheNickness]

Wait what? I need a video of that

[@Eddddman]

True , also Jurassic Park references without even mentioning the name of the movie were awesome

[@Hurley-ck6dz]

TheNickness h20 delerious has it in his video. he didn’t point it out but i heard it. he said something like “oh like those little monster things?”

[@uchiha203]

It's when Ellie asks if Sarah is into those "card things". Joel replied yes but those "little monsters". It's a reference to Pokemon TCG

[@erfangolzar620]

in abby's part manny said something about drinking and watching anime, after a couple encounters he talks about a movie with a girl riding a wolf and i think its a reference to " Princess Mononoke " (anime)

[@LJEssex]

I noticed that, too! That was my personal favorite reference since Princess Mononoke’s one of my favorite movies!

[@nrpatterson64]

In Joel's house, he's been carving a bucking horse and cowboy. This is in reference to the Wyoming state logo, due to Jackson being in Wyoming.

[@TomClacy5871]

Kinda hurt after seeing that. He wasn’t able to finish it

[@jemerte8343]

Oh i thought that was a reference of him for being from Texas XD

[@ThatDoDo]

As Abby, when making your way from the aquarium to the hospital to get the surgeonsupplies, you pass a dungeons and dragons table. This is a homage I believe to the voice actors of both Ellie (Asley Johnson) and Abby (Laura Bailey), who are fervent D&D players in the weekly stream "Critical Role".

[@Samfcu030]

The one I found!!

[@canniloni]

that’s what i thought too!!! i got so happy when i saw that

[@alyssalewis1073]

Not to mention Matthew Mercer, Travis Willingham, Talisen Jaffe, Marisha Ray and Sam Riegel! They’re all in the game 😁

[@donnasilvio3974]

I think the penis drawings @7:42 are a reference to Laura Bailey's Jester in the M9 campaign. Unless I'm wrong about the timing for this game & that campaign.

[@jekikevin]

The song that Ellie listens to when Joel brings her the gee-tarr is "Through the Valley" by Shawn James which is the song she sang in the reveal trailer.

[@PowderedSmiff]

I don't know if I'm right but the house were Ellie and Dina live, try looking at the windows they kind of look like the window in the menu screen.

[@fr0gson728]

I thought maybe at the very end the shot of the window with the curtain blowing was a reference to the first games menu screen

[@alexundrgrnd]

It was actually supposed to be that. It was an ode or it was how the guitar got there.

[@whoami7055]

Trueee

[@v0rt3x41]

There is a city in the background of you look close enough at the sill in the first game. Maybe not, maybe it is and I am wrong, nice detail.

[@grandoblivion5268]

The boat on the main menu is from the final area of this game.

[@ASTROCAKE1024]

One Easter Egg I've found, that through some extensive research I've found I'm possibly the only one who's found it, is that Kenny from Telltale's The Walking Dead game is at the FOB compound on Seattle Day 1 with Abby. He's wearing his green jacket, baseball cap, with the same VA, and he's talking about finding so many boats on his order list to a group of people. I thought it was so funny.

[@xbecs748]

No way!! I’ll have to look for that next time

[@conyer8104]

The girl that is talking to him is the same voice actor that voices clementine so it’s Kenny and clementine

[@jeffchavez8907]

And in her room in the beginning of the game

[@elmergarcia595]

One thing that I found important was the a reference to a possible trilogy. In the aquarium we notice a wall that has well drawn giraffe (1st game), semi done zebra (2nd game) and an outline childish drawing of a lion (3rd game) in development.

[@olbabybeard]

This one gives me hope. Thank you

[@Boats_Of_Seamen]

ethanhall109 The Last of Us 2 is now the best selling game on PS4 ever. If Naughty Dog doesn’t make a third game, it’ll be because they don’t have another story to tell, not because of any backlash or poor sales.

The note talks about a man named Misha (the actor who plays Castiel in the show is Misha Collins) and is signed by Jensen ( i.e. Jensen Ackles who plays Dean Winchester) it was one of my favorite little easter eggs, also totally missable if you don't pick up that specific note

[@T.Roy1782]

In the Museum with Joel and Ellie when he tosses the hat on to the Dinosaurs head seemed to be a nod to the first Last of Us with Joel and Ellie seeing/petting the Giraffe In the window. Really similar looking scenes.

[@reedified6514]

What's really touching is that if you go to Joel's bedroom after he dies and look on the bedside table you can see reading glasses sitting next to a book titled "An Idiot's Guide to Space" He was trying to learn more about what Ellie liked

[@PeriodDrama]

That’s actually so sad.

[@playyourdrums6762]

There's also a really cool room in one of the houses you explore when you play as Abby where there's a bunch of D&D stuff. Ashley Johnson and Laura bailey, the actresses who play Ellie and Abby are both in a critical role - a D&D broadcast so I thought it was really cool that they included that in the game

[@unowenwashere2782]

[@CloneWarz777]

One of Abby’s friends in the cafeteria (Jordan I think, the one with the Scar on his face from Ellie) is playing the lava level from Jak and Daxter on a PS Vita

[@kaileealtman9630]

While Ellie is exploring Seattle (I think), she can find a note from someone named Jensen and it mentions someone named Misha. This is a reference to the TV show Supernatural, which has actors Jensen Ackles and Misha Collins in it. As a huge Supernatural fan, I nearly died when I saw that note! I freaked out 😂 A reference to my favorite show in the sequel to my favorite video game??? Yes please!!! It was so cool!!!

[@yourdad1367]

@1:34 Ellie says, “I’m not a fan” in regards to what she thinks of the Halloween store. Her feelings could be explained by the events of TLO1 DLC, “Left Behind” when Ellie and Riley are attacked and well… you know what happens. Pretty cool attention to detail.

That Hotline Miami Easter Egg made me smile the moment I heard Hydrogen by M.O.O.N.

[@markonovakovic6762]

Such a sick track, right?

[@markgeorge2616]

There's an Uncharted 4 easter egg which mentions Nate and Sam. It's in Abby day 2 when you first reach the hospital to find supplies, right before the cutscene of meeting Whitney, you'll see 2 or 3 soldiers holding an "Assignment" checklist that has several names, nate and sam will be on that list.

[@NARUTOthe6THh0kage]

You cant even shoot the ps3 inside Eugene's hideout, I tried.

[@TheNickness]

You mean like the pointer gets dark gray like when you aim an ally? That's so cool ahahah

[@bamrainey]

You also can’t shoot at candlesticks at the mosque in Seattle. So the game doesn’t allow you to desecrate sacred things which means PS3 is a sacred thing.

[@aleishahawken516]

There's a couple of smaller movie references when you play as Abby as well, like Manny mentiones an anime movie he likes with 'the girl who rides the wolf', I assume is a reference to Pricness Mononoke. You also find a d&d table when you're playing as Abby with Lev - its a bit more obscure but the table and dice trays look A LOT like Wyrmwood products, which might be a nod to the actors involved in the game: Ashley Johnson (Ellie), Laura Bailey (Abby), Matt Mercer (the head prisoner that tells you to find Abby at the beach in California), Travis Willingham (the head Rattler with the ponytail), Marisha Ray, Sam Reigal, Liam Obrian and Talieson Jaffe (all provide minor voice roles within the game) have a d&d group called Critical Role; they use Wyrmwood merch for their campaign.

[@badgermayhew2076]

There’s another Easter egg at the bank when they talk about a movie with bank robbing surfers which is a reference to the movie point break

[@mrt6839]

@@vahlepi9613 an easter egg should be (nomen est omen) something u have too look for. these were part of the main story line. i mean ofc a lot of them were legit easter eggs eg. the nathan drake costume etc. but saying that playing take on me is an easter egg is wrong because.. no one was looking for it. so its better to call it a reference. but then again.. who cares what we call it :D

[@mike7887]

@@mrt6839 But I'd say no ones really 'looking' for Easter eggs unless your following a tutorial. Easter eggs in games are just things the player comes across by chance or being very observant to the world your playing in.

Fun fact: The turning was actually the original intended title of tue last of us.

[@ash_has_nohitbox7540]

In the cutscene before Abby fights Ellie at the theatre Tommy gets shot in the knee by lev with an arrow, this could be a reference to skyrim when all the guards say "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee"

[@KFIKKE2003]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

[@ThePortalGeek1337]

I know there’s also an original PlayStation in an abandoned house around halfway through the game. I can’t remember exactly where it was, nor what games accompanied it, but I remember it was hidden on an inside shelf, with the controller being the most visible part of the egg

[@horror_chris]

Ellie also mentioned the guy that was drowning Joel in the first game and how she had to shoot him.

[@m030030]

None of the easter eggs videos I've seen so far mention that aside from Neil Druckmann, there are also collectible cards for co-writer Halley Gross as well as game directors Kurt Margenau and Anthony Newman

[@TheDangerFloof]

I like how Neil Druckmann gave himself three villainous self inserts in the game, reflecting on how horribly he treated the people working on the game :)

[@pyatig]

I still haven't seen anyone mention this but in the hillcrest section there's a stalker archer named Boris Legasov. It's a nod to the two main characters in the Chernobyl series- Boris Scherbina and Valery Legasov. Craig Mazin, the director of Chernobyl, together with Neil is developing the TLOU series for hbo. I can't be the only one who noticed it, right?

[@SunOnYeet]

7:19 Neil Druckmann put himself in the game as a villain, let that sink in...

[@TheCattyKid]

I WOULD ADD that the whole dinosaur scene especially when they throw the hat onto the long neck had a lot of people (myself included) seeing a call back to when they both saw the giraffe at the college in the first game WHICH was a nod to Jurassic Park when they pet the long neck dinosaurs.

When Manny says when we get home I’m going to get drunk and watch a movie, “the one with the girl who rides the wolf” assuming Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke. To which Abby replies, “oh I love that one.”

In left behind when Riley has a surprise for ellie, ellie first guess is " is it a dinosaur " and that's ellie first guess aswell when Joel and ellie are walking to her surprise.

[@GUNS_jk]

Makes perfect sense that the director would be leaning more towards the villain side.

[@TheZebbga]

There is a point in one of the flash backs where Eliie picks up one of the cards and mentions Sarah was into "those little creature things" which I think is a refrence to Pokemon. A more obvious one is when playing as Abby where that guy she is with (the one Tommy later shoots, I forgot his name) says he likes Anime and says tonoght he is going to watch the one about "The Girl who rides the Wolf" which is a refrence to Princess Mononoke.

[@micahrichmond6469]

You can find a poster of Pearl Jam's record "Lightning Bolt" in the music store in Seatle. It is the album that features "Future Days", the song Joel plays to Ellie.
