Playing through the secret mission of Starcraft 2 earlier today, I stumbled upon one of my favorite easter eggs in quite some time. In order to keep spoilers to a minimum, just know that the secret mission takes place on a laboratory is space, and if you have a lab in space, its pretty obvious that you’re going to need some oversized glass tubes to fill will all sorts of creepy creatures. There are several fun secrets hidden in the level and even more throughout the game, but there was only one had me trying to switch to my Ice Beam. Naturally, one of the aforementionded glass tubes was populated by a lone SR388 native. Can you imagine how scary a Metroid/Queen of Blades combo would be? I don’t care if Tassadar has 50 Carriers to fly into it, there would be no containing the terror. Click over if you want to track down little guy for yourself.
First, you need to unlock the secret mission, if you don’t know how I suggest getting on your google machine and checking it out. Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Once you have that figured out, play through the mission as usual, until you come to the room with the Brutalisk. I would suggest beating the pulp out of him first, so you can have all the tasty easter eggs to yourself. Once you’ve done that, go towards the exit at the top of the room, but don’t leave. To your immediate right, there should be a series of tubes on the floor, and the closest one to you may or may not be exposed yet. If it is, you must have accidentally activated it already, and if not simply walk towards it to see it spring to life, and push the specimen into the lime light. Tada! Samus would be proud. Now all you have to do is liberate the little guy, have it mistake you for it’s mother, and wait for it to save you during the biggest battle of them all. Man, I want to play Other M… Right. Now.
