Players a Guild Wars this week he found an eight-year-old Easter egg after a former game developer offered him some tips and teasing to help move people in the right direction.
Earlier this month, Vlambeer developer Jan Willem Nijman asked other people to share Easter eggs and secrets hidden in their games on Twitter. Hundreds of developers responded the tweet, sharing a lot of secrets. Matthew Moore, former developer of ArenaNet, explained that hidden in Guild Wars it was a secret weapon this could only be found after talking to NPCs known as Archivist Xulani. But he admitted that perhaps he was too well hidden, as no one had ever found him.
This tweet, plus a small note left by Moore at GW wiki and more hints and suggestions helped steer the community in the right direction. Prior to that, no one had connected the points that the dialogue spoken by Xulani’s archivists were clues to a hidden weapon. With this new information, players began to try to find a solution to this puzzle. It was not easy, as documented in it Yield. During this, Moore warned Easter egg hunters that there was a real possibility that this Easter egg of almost a decade would no longer work.
“This was meant to be an Easter egg,” Moore explained on a follow-up wiki note. “Which means we didn’t test it as rigorously as the core content (or even outside of our test environment) and it was never intended to be core content. It’s 8-year-old content, unsupervised and unmaintained. Will it work? Probably “.

Yesterday, finally, someone found the hidden weapon. Reddit user Evaziel posted a screenshot of Silver Edge statistics titled “Found iiiiiiiiiit yeahhhhhh.”
“There is a place where Kilroy breeds in Drakkar, near the Sinhalese, you have to go alone, luck of fortunes, the gods favor, drop a cupcake or eat a cupcake (I did both, I’m not sure ) in front of Kilroy, in the light of Deldrimor, a silver Vaettir will generate, kill him “.
Using this information Guild Wars YouTuber GWReborn has uploaded a video showing how to achieve it secret weapon, which is named after a prolific GW Wiki editor. It seems complicated and Guild Wars the players do not seem impressed by the sword itself. But with these things, hunting is often the best part. The sword was added to the game in 2013 during a special event with the participation of the Xulani archivists.
At the beginning of the month there was a series of events very similar to Halo 5. As in this situation, they needed some additional clues from the developers before players could finally find the hidden Mongoose race. Now I guess all the old games I play have at least one super hidden secret.
