Easter eggs and other secrets found in the Kyoto 1568 arena.

Tree Stumps & Disk #22

The base of some tree stumps on Kyoto feature a hole shaped like an arrow. It was later found that breaking certain trees will occasionally reveal a floppy disk marked "#22" only visible to some players. This is a reference to the "stump joke" from the floppy disk version of The Secret of Monkey Island, in which Guybrush Threepwood peers down a hole in a tree stump at a system of catacombs below. He attempts to squeeze through, and the game prompts the player in "insert Disk #22", "Disk #36", and "Disk #114" to advance. These disks do not physically exist, and so upon the player's failure to insert them, Guybrush says he'll have to skip that part of the game.

While the tree stumps were noticed at the beginning of Season 3, Disk #22 was not discovered until August 11th, 2024. This easter egg was seemingly first teased in the Season 3 credits:

"...ok to all of you EE hunters out there... missing discs..."
