5 The Elder Scrolls Online Easter Eggs That Worth A Visit

Easter eggs in ESO are hidden secrets or references throughout the game world. Some of these Easter eggs in The Elder Scrolls Online may reference previous games in The Elder Scrolls series, popular culture, or real-world events. Let’s see 5 of them that are worth visiting.

Dark Souls Reference

During the tutorial on the Isle of Balfiera (in the room where you choose your weapon), you can look into a cell to find a knight’s spirit beside a bonfire with an Ancestral High Elf Style sword in it. This is a reference to the bonfires from Dark Souls, which allow you to rest, fast travel and level up your character. The knight is wearing heavy armor in the Nighthollow Style, granting him some resemblance to the warrior from the game’s promotional material.

The Little Mermaid

A reference to Disney’s The Little Mermaid can be found in northeastern Galen, on a rock near Llanshara’s docks. Here, the arrow-pierced skeleton of a lamia can be seen striking a similar pose to Ariel, with two seashells nearby resembling her bra.

The Legend of Zelda

Hazanah, an outlaw sneaking around the hedges where an Abah’s Landing guard is patrolling, is dressed in what appears to be Link’s outfit, as evident in her choice of green clothing and her shield, which resembles the Hylian Shield. Furthermore, the guard’s linear patrol path, the character hiding, and the location are a reference to Hyrule Gardens, a location in Ocarina of Time, which Link sneaks through to meet Princess Zelda.

Chuck Norris

The book Glories Of The Pirate Queen contains several unlikely tales about the amazing feats of Captain Fortunata. This is a reference to the jokes of Chuck Norris, a style of similarly outlandish facts told about the ex-action hero.

Sweetrolls and Fish sticks

High-level provisioners can craft both fishy sticks and sweetrolls, references to both of the running gags in the Elder Scrolls series. “Sweetroll” and “Fishystick” are also the default names for the Sorrel and Palomino Horse Mounts, respectively.

These are just a few of the many Easter eggs in The Elder Scrolls Online. Next time you’re playing the game, keep your eyes peeled for these references, and who knows, you might even come across some that we missed. Have fun exploring Tamriel!
