God of War

God of War (2005)

Attachment

In the North American release of the game, upon completing God Mode, you are rewarded with a phone number (1-800-613-8840). Calling this number will play a message from Kratos, in which he congratulates the player and reveals the true fate of Ares following the events of the game, and hints at another secret that can be found.

This secret involves two statues that appear at the end of the game. If you strike them, nothing happens to tell you they are of any significance, but if you keep hitting them somewhere between 200 to 400 times, they will finally break. A cutscene with a scrambled code will appear on screen. Decoding it reveals another phone number (1-888-447-5594). Calling this number will put you through to Kratos who again congratulates the player, before being interrupted by David Jaffe, the game's director. Kratos eventually gets fed up trying to understand David's talk of video games and kills him, ending the call.

In the international releases of the game, these secret messages are not available through phone numbers due to regional restrictions. The first message is included via a cutscene with scrolling text rather than the original audio, while the second message showcases the original audio in higher quality.

As of 2022, both phone numbers are still in use for these Easter eggs.

0:00 - Secret Message #1
2:20 - Secret Message #2

Directly south of Markarth, near Purewater Run, there is a stone bridge near a waterfall. If it's your first time there, you'll see two goats walking on the bridge, and then a third one climbing up from under the bridge to join them. If you go under the bridge you can find a dead troll. This scenario is a reference to the Norwegian fairy tale "Three Billy Goats Gruff".

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the Cobra Unit member "The Fear" uses a crossbow in battle and coats his bolts in the venom of the Brazilian wandering spider. Snake is hit with a bolt in a cutscene and The Fear describes the effects of the venom. However, one effect wasn't described by The Fear and wasn't displayed in the game at all. As well as causing intense pain, the venom has similar properties to Viagra, giving the victim an erection.

There is a secret room, called the Chris Houlihan room, that is not accessible via normal means. It contains a telepathy tile and 225 Rupees and is used as an error handler if you fall into a hole but the game can't find a proper destination.

This room appeared as a result of Chris Houlihan winning a Nintendo Power contest and being promised an appearance in a Zelda game. Many of the glitches used to access the room were removed in the GBA port though, along with any mention of Chris.

There's a few unused messages hidden in the ROM that differ from the US and EU version. In the US, there are 3 messages of "Hello there!" whereas in the EU version they read:
"Wow Salem, so this is what the inside of a hex editor looks like..."
"Hello there!"
"Hey look! Someone ripped our game!!!"

There is also a large chunk of uncompiled code, and for some reason the file path to the developer's ZoneAlarm settings: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\ZONE LABS\ZONEALARM\ZONEALARM.E"

There are a number of QR codes scattered around Pandora. Scanning these codes using a QR code scanner will result in different messages.

Pizza Boxes: "Wise man say, forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza. -Captain Picard."
Possibly a reference to 4chan, where many pictures of famous characters are misquoted. In this case, a Michelangelo quote from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In Zed's Pharmacy: "Thank you so much for playing our game, now I'm rich with love AND money! !!Nick Wilson!! Ditto!!!"
A reference to the artist Nicholas W., an artist at Gearbox.

Various Places: "NICK WILSON/ /HO OH"
Same as the previous message, a reference to Nicholas Wilson.
