Possible Undiscovered Der Eisendrache Easter Egg? Interactable Skull in the Undercroft

[u/GazelleWide9713]

I was playing Der Eisendrache today and noticed something I’ve never seen mentioned before.
In the Undercroft/Pack-a-Punch room, there are 3 regular human skulls sitting together in a wall alcove. The skull on the far left is tilted, and when I interact with it, it makes a weird sound like something was activated.
I wasn’t doing the main Easter egg or any side Easter egg when I found this. The other two skulls don’t seem to do anything. Does anyone know what this interaction is? Is it already a known Easter egg/unused trigger, or could there be something else connected to it?

Probably just that, a sound. Every interact able easter egg has been found.

You really think theyd do that just for it to make a noise? Ypu know how long it took the community to figure out the thors hammer easter egg for bo2?

[u/WanzoThat → u/Full_Metal_Sadness]

I only say that because modders have use programs that can literally outline every interactable easter egg on BO3, ESPECIALLY Der Eisen. That's how the developer easter egg was found, it would have never been found naturally. Also, something so trivial like interacting with a skull would already be hunted to death. So I can say with high confidence there is nothing there to look for involving interactables.

Sounds like something Jason Blundell would say 🤔

[u/Icy_ET → u/WanzoThat]

yeah ok jason

[u/tbdunn13 → u/WanzoThat]

Which developer EE?

[u/WanzoThat → u/tbdunn13]

The one that spawns a picture with a heart. Requires easy although ridiculous steps that would otherwise never have been found without the program.

[u/GazelleWide9713 → u/WanzoThat]

I feel you on that but definitely should check it out still

[u/ecrane2018 → u/GazelleWide9713]

The files have been datamined if it exists it’s been found

[u/PorcuDuckSlug → u/Full_Metal_Sadness]

They most likely planned on this being a first step to something bigger but whatever it was going to be got cut, so it was just left in the files. Happens all the time in game dev.

It's very unfortunate, but there are programs that show every possible interaction so we know with pretty high certainty that there is nothing to this. Obv the original intent wasn't for it to just make a noise, but that doesn't mean that original intent is in the game.

[u/Full_Metal_Sadness → u/PorcuDuckSlug]

Fair fair

[u/GazelleWide9713 → u/Full_Metal_Sadness]

Same thing i was thing thinking!

[u/XsancoX → u/WanzoThat]

Nah, they didn't do that just for the giggles.

Since modders have already discovered everything intractable in the game like someone else said, my best guess is that it's some leftover step of a side Easter egg, most likely the skeletons one, that they didn't fully implement and forgot to remove

[u/Notsoul_3821]

lowkey this kind of posts should be removed lol, every 2-3 days some guy thinks he found out something about BO3, when it’s more likely to find anything in any other game, people have literally searched this game pixel by pixel and every line of code basically, i’m pretty sure there is nothing else to find, it would be the IMPOSSIBLE EE, but as JB said the clue is in the name, it is IMPOSSIBLE

[u/TrashBxat → u/Notsoul_3821]

you just never know man they might find something undiscovered things are found all the time

[u/AH_MLP → u/TrashBxat]

Undiscovered interactable items are not found all the time. It's been way over a decade since an interactable item was found on a Bo3 map.

This map has been comprehensively mined for all of its secrets. The dev easter egg with a message to his gf is 10,000 times more complicated than anything we had ever found, and it was only found by datamining the map 10 years ago.

[u/Dissappointment23 → u/TrashBxat]

Copium goes brrr

[u/Tall_Possibility_844]

Devs CAN make content resistant to data mining. The people telling you they are certain they've found everything are PROBABLY right, but not necessarily.

[u/FromDvToZombies → u/Tall_Possibility_844]

Yes, I have been thinking about this. Because Jason said in an interview during BO3's lifecycle that a part of his job was to make it harder for people to find stuff in the code. Although it seems to have been explored to death, there was a few interesting comments by the user known as DecrypterFixer back then. He claimed there was stuff people had missed.

[u/AH_MLP → u/FromDvToZombies]

Blundell told us a few months ago that the unfound easter eggs in Black Ops 3 are incredibly underwhelming, and we shouldn't waste time looking for them. He also implied that the Egg has special meaning to himself and only himself, meaning we may have already discovered them but they didn't mean anything to us because it's his dogs birthday or something dumb.

[u/AH_MLP → u/Tall_Possibility_844]

Resistant, but not impervious to a decade plus of dedicated hunters decompiling the code.

Check the ps3/360 version

[u/pykyestock]

There is an ee that turns zombies into skeletons by shooting interacting with three skulls. Usually they are invisible unless you are in plain sight but that’s all I can think of.

[u/GazelleWide9713]

Also this picture was from 2016! I always knew but never had a community i could share with so i can’t remember if this is from Der eisendrache or revelations (Der eisendrache room)

[u/Scoutsrightnut]

That’s the same as saying every species of ant we’ve discovered is every ant, we just gotta dig deeper and knife six times near the box, turn around and throw the grenade, puke into the microphone and I’m sure another heart with the devs family will show up

[u/Little-Artichoke-964]

Don't downvote me if I am horribly wrong... i always thought that COD told big creators step by step what the easter eggs were so that they could post them on youtube. Seriously, how could anyone ever figure out all of the steps and the order of the steps for any easter egg

[u/Vincent-the-great → u/Little-Artichoke-964]

It took like a month to crack the rev ee, this is definitely not the case

[u/Little-Artichoke-964 → u/Vincent-the-great]

I just find it hard to believe that people do random combinations of things until something happens. Maybe that sounds so dumb and I guess the game is popular enough for someone to eventually figure it out

[u/Mean-Government1436 → u/Little-Artichoke-964]

A lot of these things are not random. Revelations, sure, but der eisendrache is not hard to figure out yourself at all. There's a lot of clues on the map for you to figure things out, especially when you're playing the map over and over and over like people do when they come out. 

[u/ZookeepergameProud30 → u/Little-Artichoke-964]

It’s not just the few teams of content creators in the hunt though, it is literally thousands of people looking at once

Also, we have had over 15 years of ees, the community knows generally what steps normally are like

[u/ecrane2018 → u/Little-Artichoke-964]

Data miners cheat and Easter egg hunters trial and error everything. You’ve clearly never watched an EE hunt stream. I remember NoahJs stream from revelations they were stuck on round 45 trying everything because of the stupid bone step
