The latest Dying Light easter egg thatâs been uncovered transports players to a Super Mario-esque stage, only with a lot more zombies inside. YouTuber Arekkz Gaming discovered the secret portal to zombie goomba (zomgoomba? goomzombie?) killing goodness, and was kind enough to show us all where to find it:
As he explains in the video, you can find the Super Mario level in Old Town. You have to be about halfway through the game to do so, since accessing this part of the world requires traveling through the sewers to begin the Sector 0 chunk of the story.
Once youâre in Old Town, go to far southwest corner of the Old Town map.
Then head to the top of this tall brick house:
Once youâre there, look for a chimney with a green pipe sticking out.
Thatâs the universal symbol that you can do this:
And then youâre off to the races!
Like many other Dying Light easter eggs (and there are a lot of them), the Super Mario stage is cute and all. But you know what this really makes me want? An actual Super Mario platformer that transports Nintendoâs wonderful third-person platformer mechanics to a first-person perspectiveâmuch in the same way Dying Light took Assassinâs Creed-style parkour and turned it into a first personâŠhacker? Not really a shooter I guessâŠ
Just think how cool fighting goombas would be! Like beating up zombies in Dying Light, only trippy and adorable instead of horrifying and traumatic.
Iâd also accept a PC mod that has your Dying Light character say, âItâs-a me, Crane!â
UPDATE (2:50 pm): A reader was awesome enough to point out that thereâs another, even better Super Mario-themed secret inside the level. If you jump on top of the pink cube, you can find a blueprint for something called the âPyza Suit,â which lets you glide around Harran in Tanooki Suit fashion. Hereâs a video showing where to find it:
