Where are the easter eggs in The Talos Principle?
Where are the easter eggs in The Talos Principle and how do you obtain them?
These are the easter eggs I have found:
At the messenger place at hall B there is a secret path underwater, which leads to The Swapper statue.
At some world in B there is a boarded up "door", which you can break with a metal [tool?]
At B4 right near teleport you can open stone" " door and see "Entry denied" message. It is "usable", but I don't know how to activate it.
At some world in C, near "7 doors" puzzle you can find a Minecraft sword.
At some world at B (B2? the one with 4 statues and the star near them) you can find a hole with a bed.
and I think there should be more.
