Dying Light Easter Eggs

Guitar Lessons

As you become familiar with your new room in The Tower, you might notice a guitar in the corner of the room. You can interact with the instrument to play a note, but it's obvious that Kyle Crane never learned how to play one.


Luckily, there's time to address that oversight! Play through the main missions until you need to infiltrate a school with Jade. Make sure to search every classroom thoroughly, and you'll find another guitar, along with a lesson book! Return to the tower and interact with the guitar again. Now you'll be able to play short tune.

Left 4 Bread

Techland has included an homage to another great zombie game: Left 4 Dead. Head slightly north of the Tower to a safe house area guarded by large chain-link fences. Once inside, look South across the street and you'll find a bakery with a very unique sign: Left4Bread.

Hidden QR Code

At the beginning of the game, in the room you wake up in above one of the beds, there is a Jade "The Scorpion" Aldemir poster. On the bottom right corner of the poster is a QR Code. If you get your character close enough to the poster (crouching down helps) you can actually scan the code with your mobile device and it will take you directly to a web site.

Ocarina of Time Reference

You might not be able to spot the Hero of Hyrule in Dying Light, but you can find his legendary sword. During the story mission that takes you from the Slums to Old Town, you'll arrive at a staging areas where survivors make the trek one by one. If you happen to have done Dawud's side quest to get him a gun, you'll find him and his son waiting to cross to Old Town. His son, as it happens, is carrying a toy version of the Master Sword! Sadly, he doesn't seem willing to part with it.

The EXPcalibur

You can find the fabled "Sword in the Stone" in Dying Light, except this time around it's the "Sword in the Zombie."


Look for the sword on a tiny rock in the far southeast area of Harran's Slums, south of the fishing area. Swim out all the way to the rock to find a golden sword impaled upon a zombie.


The sword won't come willingly, as only the chosen my pull it from its fleshy sheath. You'll need to hold down the grab button for several minutes as the orange bar slowly fills all the way around button prompt. You won't have any enemies to worry about fighting off - just make sure your finger doesn't slip!


When you finally pull the sword out, you'll find that it does an extreme amount of damage - but at the cost of only 7 durability! Luckily, there is a way to make more of it. Shortly after taking the sword, the corpse the sword was embedded in will start to burn up. After it burns, you'll find the blueprint for the blade in its place.
