So the stairs in the woods are probably based off of the many stories from hikers and park rangers about never going up stairs in the woods because you'll go missing. It's a kind of urban legend.
The stairs in the woods are likely in reference to a popular creepy pasta trope about staircases in the woods. The reoccurring note they all follow is that no one ever talks about them, and if anyone asks about them to someone else they always tell them both not to talk about them but also not to climb them, ever. There's a whole series of pastas about a park ranger and the stairs are the crux of that storyline.
The coffin full of guns is actually a much more specific reference than you think. It’s a reference to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines where prior to the movie Sarah Connor died of Leukaemia, and they eventually found her coffin full of guns.
And the T. Anderson one is when they sucked out a worm out of Andersons stomach. First Matrix movie when he entered the car but had a Tracker in his stomach area.
Guns buried in a coffin is a very old trope. I've seen it in a couple older westerns. The earliest that I've heard it referenced in real life was around the civil war.
i remember finding this easter egg by accident in Gen Zero, love it so much. the whole DLC is such a fantastic harken back to The Shining. We also found the "Stairway To Heaven" while bored, roaming the map just after launch
Hey Captain this came from the creepy pasta "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service" Its pretty scary. Bad things happen when you go up the stairs
The guns in the Coffin of Sarah Connor is a reference in From Terminator 3. When They opened Sarah Connor’s coffin. Its filled with guns and The T-850 informed John that her mothers body is buried somewhere else. And also in The Fashion Squad Police. A Terminator is carrying the coffin doing the famous meme. It is also both Reference on Terminator 3 when the T-850 is carrying a coffin with one arm and a gun on the other.
The staircase can be a reference to the TV-series: Wynonna Earp. In that show there is a staircase in the woods, that sendes you flying if you are not worthy.
The shining Easter egg in Gen zero is actually really good. They made an entire hotel as a reference to it instead of the lazier axe in the bathroom door.
I was excited to see a game reference the stairs in the woods, that's really cool. I also feel proud of myself for knowing an Easter Egg that the Easter egg channel didn't 😂😂
the Sarah Connor coffin 1:35 got more details into it. Its actually a coffin carried by Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-850 on Terminator 3. In which, he actually carries "Sarah Connor's" coffin filled with weapons in the movie. A nice touch indeed
You missed these in the Fashion police segment: The sword he is using is the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy 7 When he is running around, it is the "Naruto run." Right before the codec call, it looks like a reference to Tron or the final Starfox Boss (I'm leaning towards Tron) The codec call's numbers are 694.20.... 69 ..... 420.... nice. The casket bearers are wearing a shirt that is modeled after Darth Vader's chestplate (Episode 3. Or the Original one)
The S.Connor coffin full of guns easter egg in Just Die Already is definitely a reference to Sarah Connor. Specifically a scene from Terminator 3 where Arnold's T-800 went to punch open Sarah's fancy cement grave and dig out her "Alleged" coffin, where in it a bunch of guns got stashed as a sort of an emergency backup weapons loadout.
Okay so the reason for the stairs in the woods, there's a creepypasta about when people find stairs in the woods, miles away from any other kind of structure and if you climb it there's always someone watching the stairs and will kill you. To be honest I had completely forgotten about that story until I saw this video. Very cool they included it
the stairs at 8:44 is a creapypasta of random stairs in the middle of the woods when walked up you disapear into another reality that is much more brutal
Only thing I can think of to link T.Anderson to The Matrix, is the red things may be a reference to the "bug" that Agent Smith tried to implant into Neo, (which glows red), or a reference to the Sentinels themselves.
It'd be interesting to see what's in the M. Smith coffin . Some Dr Who easter eggs maybe (Matt Smith, who also played a role in Terminator Genisys was the Eleventh Doctor).
I just learned that in indie game, elechead if you stay still long enough your character powers down and stops powering surfaces you're touching. It's even used to solve a secret puzzle.
They could have done made the stairs even creepier. The way alot of the urban legends go is that when someone climbs to the top the forest suddenly falls completely silent. The moment they take a step down from the top day turns to night and that's usually when they describe noticing anyone they came with is gone.
Staircase in the woods is mostly likely a nod toward an older CreepyPasta detailing random staircases being found in wooded areas. If I'm remembering the details correctly, ascending the staircase is said to bring about misfortune and even death, but not necessarily to the one who climbed the stairs, it affects other people who are also roaming the forest.
Sarah's coffin having so many guns can also reference the discovery of a armory that is then carried by the Terminatior, with a M2 heavy machine gun to pin down the SWAT trying to stop them.
Generation Zero stair easter egg is likely a reference to the urban legend that you can find random staircases in the deep woods and you’ll go missing if you climb them
The stairs in the woods is one hundred percent a reference to the extremely popular Reddit r/nosleep story "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell.". It's an extremely good read, in my opinion, really glad it's still getting shout outs
you do know that it a real thing, right? it an art piece in the middle of the woods called stairway to heaven by an unknown artist. still no one knowns why the artist put it there. it an urban legend about it.
Oh wow, sorry to hear your house was broken into. I’m really glad you and the rest of your family wasn’t hurt as it must be scary to be completely unconscious while someone is lurking around your house… Sending love and hope you get a new car soon, maybe even a better one!
I’m so glad I can answer one of these lol. If memory severs, apparently in some woods somewhere, you can find random stairs leading up and to no where. There’s all different types of stairs, from stone to wood, medieval to modern etc and if you were to go up them, you’d die in various different way. As you make your way up the stairs, you could see things/be transported to another world, but if someone was watching you from the ground, they would just see you going up as normal (I think). It’s either on r/no sleep or a creepypasta, but I’m pretty sure corpse, before they played games on their channel, (or another RUclipsr I can’t remember) covered it in a forest rescue series. It wasn’t just stairs that happened too, a lot of interesting things went on. Definitely recommend if you can find the videos.
The last Easter egg (the random stairs) is based on a story read by many creepy RUclipsrs (like Mr nightmare or corpse husband). The story is about a park ranger starting their new job and being told if they see stairs in the woods don’t walk up them because people who do don’t always come back
One of the most famous 4chan "stairs in the wilderness" stories is two friends hiking and coming across a staircase carved into the rock near a path they've been walking. They then here a woman's voice weakly calling for help up the staircase. The friend surges up the stairs while the story teller lags behind. He hears his friend talking reassuringly to someone before hearing him scream. It's described as a bone chilling sound filled with pain and fear. The story teller then _RUNS_ as fast as they can away and takes a single look back and they see a hunched figure standing at the top of the stairs. Once they get back to the trail parking lot, they come across an old man who ask him what happened. When the story teller says what happened, the old man frowns, shakes his head and returns to his truck and retrieves his gun. He looks at the story teller and tells him "I'm sorry for your lose" before disappearing onto the trail. The next day, there's a story about an unfortunate hiker who was mauled to death by a bear and that the bear was killed by a local hunter. Tl:dr Finding stairs that don't belong in the wild is bad news. Climbing to the top of them may be the last thing you do.
There's A Sidejob in Cyberpunk 2077 that Mentions David Martinez from "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" and if you do it, you can get Davids Jacket There's also A Ton of other hidden References to Edgerunners as well, Such as the Apartments of the Crews, Rebecca's Shotgun near Arasaka Tower and even A Drink dedicated to David in the "Afterlife" Bar
if you go to Judy's apartment, and check her computer, you'll see that she messaged Lucy asking for help with something. eventhough it was intentional, it's pretty neat how much easter eggs they added.
The urban legend that stairs appear in the woods that lead to nowhere, they can range from 5 steps to 20+ steps up and it’s an urban legend cause anyone that was ever seen walk up these random stairs go missing, as well as the stairs afterwards
Plenty of other people have explained the creepypasta/urban legend origins of the staircase in the woods. But I would just like to add some extra context. If you do find a staircase in the woods, most likely it'll be leading up into a tree (not that far up though, only a couple feet). Look up into the tree and you'll most likely find what's known as a deer blind. Hunters will build the staircase to help them get up into their deer blind when they're out trying to assassina-*cough* *cough* I mean hunt deer.
That stairway is really interesting. BasisJumper has a better theory than me, but I like to think it’s a reference to Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. You go up it and you get damaged because it’s taking you to heaven. That’s probably a crackpot theory, but it’s still a fun Easter egg! Edit: I’m just a fan of the song, and I’m probably projecting lol.
The doctors curse event didn't happen 2021 either, it was the event leading to extraction, but in the doktor's curse there's a announcer line saying "nobody can hear you scream in siege" as a reference to the alien movies
I'm sure someone already pointed this out but just in case, here it is again: The S. Connor coffin containing an ass-load of guns is a direct reference to T3: Rise of the Machines when T-800, Kate Brewster and John Connor visit Sarah Connor's grave within the small mausoleum and T-800 ripped the coffin from its chamber and opened it, revealing a massive collection of stored weapons 'in accordance with her will'.
Glad to hear you guys are all ok. also wanted to add that that just before the press [F] to pay respects reference, the HUD references the status bar from the first two DOOM games, as you can see the MC's eyes looking left to right, just like DoomGuy.
the boss fight itself was loaded with references in that fashion police game. the way he was running was like the sandevistan effect from edgerunners, and he either has dragon slayer or that big sword that cloud uses
In fashion police squad during the xx_uwu_senpai_swagman_xx boss fight the transition to the second phase might be a reference to sonic mania’s phantom ruby, as the teleportation is very similar to those in sonic mania
My little theory on the staircase is that it's the "stairway to heaven," the only problem is it doesn't actually kill your character when you climb them
The staircase one is a nod to old Appalachian weirdness. There are staircases to nowhere all over the place in seemingly random locations and the tale, as I heard it, was that if you travel up the staircase in the dusk sun then you could be "transported" from this reality to another. I've found plenty of the staircases but never tested the legend personally.
It's because of superstition. If someone say's you'll die if you do something specific, and that thing is 100% safe, you'll still feel inclined to not do it.
In Fashion Police, along with the MGS and Matrix references, the floating laughing, low poly head is a reference to an early 90’s movie “Lawnmower Man”
Me and some friends found some deck stairs just put in the middle of nowhere in the woods in NC. Years and years ago of course. We ran up them and jumped off countless times as if we were step into oblivion. Good times lol. Never once thought about how weird it was for the stairs to be there.
The Sarah Connor gun coffin is a direct reference to T3. In the film they go to a crypt to find her coffin and it turns out to be a weapons stash filled to the brim with guns. As for the stairs in the woods, it's become somewhat of an urban legend but most people have likely heard of them due to their inclusion in a large number of popular online horror stories or "creepy pastas" such "My Property isn't Normal" and "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I Have Some Stories to Tell" to name a couple stand outs and if I recall they even get a nod in the AMAZING creepypasta/book series, "Tales from the Gas Station". The stairs show up and disappear in the woods at random, usually completely clean, and are known to cause bad things to happen when people go up them, anything from a losing all your toenails, a sudden brain hemorrhage, or even someone disappearing without a trace, never to be found again.
If you visits Captain Eggcellent's house at around midnight, you'll find this easter egg right outside: Nothing. This is a reference to his car being stolen, which the devs has included into the game.
the staircase is in reference to the park ranger r/nosleep stories when the ranger would frequently encounter such things and was always told to ignore them, with the damage it is said that if you climb them something bad will happen one person apparently lost a few fingers
In Halo: Reach the description for the Black Visor is "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black. This was Ford's sort of motto for the Model T
I think that last one is a nod to Skyrim as the staircase looks oddly like the ones commonly found there. I believe this is supported by you getting fus ro dah-d when reaching the top of the stairs Also also believe the possible theory of it being a reference to the old staircase creepypastas
The poster next to Stanley and QWOP was also a really popular streaming channel called the VGCW, which regularly held "Story mode" wrestling tales between all kinds of popular videogame characters remade in WWE.
the stairs in the woods is definitely a refrence to that creepypasta/stories of random stairs in the woods that have various consequences when you climb to the top, some stories say they teleport you to a different universe, some stories say you just die if you climb them in mysterious ways, some say you just dissapear, never to be seen again
My thoughts on the stairs is a Wayne's World reference. When in the guitar shop Wayne starts playing a song. The employee immediately stops him and points to a sign on the back wall that reads "No Stairway to Heaven" Wayne then repeats it "No Stairway. Denied!"
I've never heard about the Stairs in the woods urban legend, The only thing I could think about when I saw the stairs, specifically when you go up how you get blasted away with an explosion of light, is the series "Wynonna Earp".
In deadrising 2 off the record, just after going up the elevator after stalking tk there’s a door on the left wall at the other end of the hallway with the backpack of chucks daughter from the standard dr2 game and frank says “who would bring a kid here”
Yeah, The stairs are a reference to Missing 411, Stories from hikers and park rangers about odd happenings in the woods where people go missing or vanish for days, months, years
There's an urban legend from the northwest about staircases found seemingly out of place in national parks and the legend links it to unexplained disappearances
The red snake for the T. Anderson Coffin might be a metaphor for the Red Pill that Anderson takes while the snake is referring to him "going down the rabbit hole" as a reference to what Morpheus told Mr. Anderson ("Take the Red Pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes."). Got to this conclusion as snakes often go down burrow holes made by other animals and uses them as shelters, most of them being rabbit holes. Dunno if this was their intent for the developers, but considering the Matrix trilogy is rife with metaphors, this could be one as well.
1:12 to everyone wandering the names are M.Smith for Agent Smith (Matrix) S.Connor for Sarah Conor (Terminator) W.White for Walter White (Breaking Bad) and T.Anderson for Thomas Anderson aka Neo (Matrix) edit:the reason why red snakes pop out is from a scene when Neo wakes up and btw the stairway is most likely a stairway to heaven
In Grounded, if you head up to the bag of charcoal behind the spilled grill at the top of the map you can find a sword in a flaming piece of charcoal you can attempt to pull out. This is a reference to King Arthur’s Excalibur but also possibly to Dark Souls with the way to sword appears over the fire.
i know a lot of people talk about the stairs being references to urban legends about stairs being found in the woods, but to me the fact that it almost kills you makes me think its supposed to be a stairway to heaven, in reference to the song
i think the stairs could just be something left in the game from early testing, it could be used to test climbing stairs, tripwire grenades, grenade explosions, knockback, vertical tripwires since it's on a staircase, etc
That comes channel is amazing lmao "694.20" also the stairway is a reference to folklore about "never go through doors in the woods" or "never walk up stairs to nowhere." Don't really see enough of the irl supernatural references in games like that
The player getting thrown down the forest staircase might also be a nod to the myth that in a certain graveyard, if you count the steps, you can get in contact with demons. If you try to climb the hill the staircase is on without using said stairs then you get pushed back.
Next to T. Anderson and S. Connor is M. Smith or Morty Smith. Also, the two dead kids that have the 237 key are a reference to the Grady twins in The Shining.
the red things coming out of Thomas Anderson's coffin are those of the cables taht both fuel life for him and the battery power of the robots. the scene where he pulls his "cables" in the real world and not the "matrix" they were very red and look very similar and i believe he had 6 attached. arms, legs, chest, and back of the neck.
Sort of a nod though to its older games, and in a way its also an easter egg: In Halo they have ships named after older bungie games, the Marathon, and Infinity. I believe in the flavor text for a gun in destiny 2 they make a reference to a rebellion on mars, which is also a Marathon reference.
I believe that the staircase in the woods is a reference to the Guitar store scene from the first Wayne's World movie. He started playing "Stairway to Heaven" but gets stopped from playing it. The shop guy points to a sign that says No Stairway.
That last one is a fantastic nod the internet urban legend about a bunch of mysterious stairs found in the woods that supposedly will transport you to some unknown location never to be see again. A very nice changeup from the usual go-to's for Easter eggs.
In the crypt there is a grave marked C. Spaulding which is a reference to Captain Spaulding, a character from rob zombies firefly trilogy, he was played by sid haig who sadly passed away in 2018
So heres my story of stairs i found. My sister and i were going to hike across the Aokigahara forest. Yes, suicide forest. We could do it in a single day if we tried. But we wanted to spend a night. The destination was from Camp Akaike north of the Mt. Fuji to Grinpa, south of Fuji. We took the south bend as it was closer. We informed everyone what we were doing. It was a fun camping and sight seeing trip. No questions on why it was just my twin and i. >.> But it was a good change up as we were usually stuck around the family housing of Kadena. We started at 9am, in late November when it was a bit too cold for insects and spiders. So about … well idfk. We walked for about 8 hours on and off trails. Took a break every hour. But wile traveling southwards, i kept in mind the sound of birds and the tree brush. This was mostly because birds get worked up when something around bothers them. As birds do. But wile hiking, you enter kind of a drone mode when your just keep doing the same fucking thing over and over, i think its the body saving energy or something. So before i knew it the sun was overhead and it was noticeable as i came to a small patch that was cleared, just no growth but fauna. I walked into the clearing as i saw something that looked out of place. My sister followed me behind. I looked back at my sister and was as confused as i was from what we saw. A set of concrete stairs. They had a base. It was like concrete youd see at a inner city government building. It had FRESHLY looking painted hand rails that went from the top to bottom of the set. Only about 9 steps. And i noticed that the paint was fresh as it had not been color warped by the sun or damaged by weather. Infact, there wasnt a leaf or piece of debris on the stairs or base. Looking to where the set was leading to, was nothing but a natural drop off or natural curving dip in the terrain covered in leaves and dirt. I felt hyper aware and a feeling of awkwardness and unease. It was just so out of place and looked so pristine, that it didnt feel right. Then i noticed, there was no sound. No birds, no rustling leaves from wind in the trees, just the gentle heat of the sun on my face. It didnt feel right. Something was wrong. ‘When mother nature gets quiet, you should move along’. A quote that iv held onto from a hunter-safety corse. My sister and i got back on course. But just after, we checked our time. We somehow lost 4 hours. Another point that was odd is that we had overcast the entire day. So we couldnt see the sun so we relied on lighting to set up camp. So a point i wonder to this day… how was my face getting warm off the sunshine if there was overcast? After our hike that was mostly uneventful from then on. We finished it, got onto a charter 25min flight back to Okinawa. And then a new event. We set off the base’s radiation sniffer box when walking by it. We were brought in, stripped, washed, tested, and so forth. Giving our initial explanation, the japanese officials got involved thinking a company was dumping waste into the woods. Our shoes had to be incinerated, my jacket read up high than background levels, but wasnt harmful, but i offered it up anyway. Cuz fuck that. I read out to have absorbed my years dose worth of radiation (which isnt much as theres only a month left), my sister a bit less. Nothing was harmful, apparently. When we told them where it was, the JSDF used a radiation sniffer plane to locate the possible waste dump. They couldnt find anything. So because of how serious they took this, they put us on a helicopter and flew us around the path we took at a reasonable altitude. We found the clearing. But no stairs. They detected nothing. We all went home. My sister and i both still remember this.
The stairs is based off a story from hikers and people from the fire department. Just a random set of stairs in the middle of a forest. It moves aswell apparently
I don’t know if you’ve found this or looked into this but in dying light 2 there is a side quest where you find a lady singing for her dead husband, she asks you to retrieve some letters in a safe. In that safe there is a bracelet that you can pick up, when you return to the lady aiden brings up the fact that there were valuables in the safe ( she lets you keep them ). But I’m curious to know if aiden would say anything about the valuables if you don’t take them from the safe, maybe you could find out?
In just die already, the grave next to Sarah Connor’s is M.Smith which may be a reference to Matt Smith who plays the Doctor in Doctor Who. So if you open it and there’s a fez or a sonic screwdriver, it would definitely be a reference
So the stairs in the woods are probably based off of the many stories from hikers and park rangers about never going up stairs in the woods because you'll go missing. It's a kind of urban legend.
That was my first thought, too.
And here I thought it was a reference to the biblical story of the stair way to heaven
It's a classic Creepypasta, it's not real but it's been going around for years.
You’ve probably seen the photos of the stairs, most of the time they’re art exhibits
They aren't based off of many stories of Hikers and Rangers. They are based off a fictional r/nosleep thread that blew up.
6:14 completely ignored the 694.20
And the mission being named "Son of a Glitch" which is A+Starts glitch oriented show that documents and preserves glitch history
The stairs in the woods are likely in reference to a popular creepy pasta trope about staircases in the woods. The reoccurring note they all follow is that no one ever talks about them, and if anyone asks about them to someone else they always tell them both not to talk about them but also not to climb them, ever.
There's a whole series of pastas about a park ranger and the stairs are the crux of that storyline.
I love that series
It's also a reference to Fae folklore, where doors and stairs that lead nowhere lead to the world of the Fae
Here is a compilation of stories involving the stairs, video by Corpse Husband
ruclips.net/video/nhkgXOUDetc/видео.html
The stairs.
Stairs in the woods rule number one:
Don't talk about stairs in the woods
The coffin full of guns is actually a much more specific reference than you think. It’s a reference to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines where prior to the movie Sarah Connor died of Leukaemia, and they eventually found her coffin full of guns.
And the T. Anderson one is when they sucked out a worm out of Andersons stomach.
First Matrix movie when he entered the car but had a Tracker in his stomach area.
Guns buried in a coffin is a very old trope. I've seen it in a couple older westerns. The earliest that I've heard it referenced in real life was around the civil war.
Yeah "the big shootout", great moment. The makeshift shield was a fave.
lol exactly what I came here to say. one of the most badass scenes in a mostly underwhelming film
Affirmative, Sarah Connor's bones were indeed replaced by high caliber weaponry, this eventually caused her illness
i remember finding this easter egg by accident in Gen Zero, love it so much. the whole DLC is such a fantastic harken back to The Shining.
We also found the "Stairway To Heaven" while bored, roaming the map just after launch
Damn dude I'm sorry to hear that they broke in. I'm glad everyone's fine, sending love.
Did the burglars leave any interesting details or easter eggs?
@@ViApp0 bruuuuuh 💀
@@ViApp0 That's some dark humor you got there buddy hahaha
It's was a refrence to bob the rober
If you head to my house after it was burgled, you will find this…
Yep, that’s right, its emotional damage.
Hey Captain this came from the creepy pasta "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service" Its pretty scary. Bad things happen when you go up the stairs
The guns in the Coffin of Sarah Connor is a reference in From Terminator 3. When They opened Sarah Connor’s coffin. Its filled with guns and The T-850 informed John that her mothers body is buried somewhere else.
And also in The Fashion Squad Police. A Terminator is carrying the coffin doing the famous meme. It is also both Reference on Terminator 3 when the T-850 is carrying a coffin with one arm and a gun on the other.
Sarah Connor wasn't buried she was Cremated and her ashes spread at the ocean.
@@bishop31656 oh yeah! Thx! Too bad they rebooted the franchise. Such a dumb move xD. The Ending in T3 saved the entire film

@@grabtharshammer2085 yeah. He had 2 Terminator 3 reference in One video. And he didn’t notice xD
The other one is in the metal gear solid screen the channel number is 694.20 in reference to well 69 and 420
6:45 at this point they aren't eastereggs anymore just a developer trying to fit in
The staircase can be a reference to the TV-series: Wynonna Earp. In that show there is a staircase in the woods, that sendes you flying if you are not worthy.
Thanks for posting this so I did not have to. Congrats from 2023.
The shining Easter egg in Gen zero is actually really good. They made an entire hotel as a reference to it instead of the lazier axe in the bathroom door.
Yeah I was gonna mention the carpet as well
I was excited to see a game reference the stairs in the woods, that's really cool. I also feel proud of myself for knowing an Easter Egg that the Easter egg channel didn't 😂😂
the Sarah Connor coffin 1:35 got more details into it. Its actually a coffin carried by Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-850 on Terminator 3. In which, he actually carries "Sarah Connor's" coffin filled with weapons in the movie. A nice touch indeed
Indeed it is! :D
You missed these in the Fashion police segment:
The sword he is using is the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy 7
When he is running around, it is the "Naruto run."
Right before the codec call, it looks like a reference to Tron or the final Starfox Boss (I'm leaning towards Tron)
The codec call's numbers are 694.20.... 69 ..... 420.... nice.
The casket bearers are wearing a shirt that is modeled after Darth Vader's chestplate (Episode 3. Or the Original one)
The S.Connor coffin full of guns easter egg in Just Die Already is definitely a reference to Sarah Connor. Specifically a scene from Terminator 3 where Arnold's T-800 went to punch open Sarah's fancy cement grave and dig out her "Alleged" coffin, where in it a bunch of guns got stashed as a sort of an emergency backup weapons loadout.
9:20 The staircase in the woods is a creepypasta or something I haven't seen it pop up in a while
Yeah even I have heard about this creepypasta of a random staircase in the middle of the woods
Okay so the reason for the stairs in the woods, there's a creepypasta about when people find stairs in the woods, miles away from any other kind of structure and if you climb it there's always someone watching the stairs and will kill you. To be honest I had completely forgotten about that story until I saw this video. Very cool they included it
but it a real thing. it an art piece by an unknown artist. a real urban legend which people made creepy pasta from.
5:41 lul he uses a Sandevistan from Cyberpunk 2077 (shown like in Edgerunners)
Hey man. So sorry to hear about everything. Hope you and your family stay safe and can recover from this soon. Love, a brand new fan! ❤❤❤
the stairs at 8:44 is a creapypasta of random stairs in the middle of the woods when walked up you disapear into another reality that is much more brutal
The coffin is likely also a reference to the coffin in Terminator rise of the machines.
Yep, Sarah's coffin was packed with guns instead of her body in the movie.
Damn, you beat me by 38 minutes. Yeah, Terminator 3 cemetery scene reference.
Yeah a reference to a scene out the crap film🤣
100% this imo
He was one man coffin dance in the film when he was carrying it
happy to hear you and your family is well after everything that happened. brighter days are to come and remember you have the support of us all
Only thing I can think of to link T.Anderson to The Matrix, is the red things may be a reference to the "bug" that Agent Smith tried to implant into Neo, (which glows red), or a reference to the Sentinels themselves.
They're Red Pills
@@mickaelfrimann Shaped like earthworms?
"Keys to room 237"
I instantly knew it was The Shining, certain things are so cursed you just can't forget them no matter how much time has passed
7:52
The mission being called "Another Castle" is a reference to Mario and Princess Peach being in another castle
It'd be interesting to see what's in the M. Smith coffin . Some Dr Who easter eggs maybe (Matt Smith, who also played a role in Terminator Genisys was the Eleventh Doctor).
That would make sense. More sense than a reference to Last Night in Soho, Morbius or Game of Thrones, at least.
Morty Smith, from Rick and Morty is the most likely guess
Maybe it's Mr. Smith as agent Smith from matrix? If we already have T. Anderson, they might as well put his enemy there
The stairs are a reference to the weird stairs In national parks that appeared
The snakes are a reference to the bugs that invade his body for the system to track him before Trinity removed it.
And it’s a reference to the red pill
I just learned that in indie game, elechead if you stay still long enough your character powers down and stops powering surfaces you're touching. It's even used to solve a secret puzzle.
They could have done made the stairs even creepier. The way alot of the urban legends go is that when someone climbs to the top the forest suddenly falls completely silent. The moment they take a step down from the top day turns to night and that's usually when they describe noticing anyone they came with is gone.
correct. so you heard of the urban legend about the art piece too.
Staircase in the woods is mostly likely a nod toward an older CreepyPasta detailing random staircases being found in wooded areas. If I'm remembering the details correctly, ascending the staircase is said to bring about misfortune and even death, but not necessarily to the one who climbed the stairs, it affects other people who are also roaming the forest.
Literally every other comment
Ah yes, the staircase in the woods. Good old classic creepypasta.
Sarah's coffin having so many guns can also reference the discovery of a armory that is then carried by the Terminatior, with a M2 heavy machine gun to pin down the SWAT trying to stop them.
Generation Zero stair easter egg is likely a reference to the urban legend that you can find random staircases in the deep woods and you’ll go missing if you climb them
The name of the Mission 8 "Son of a Glitch" from the Fashion Police game could be a reference to A+ Start's series Son of a Glitch
The stairs in the woods is one hundred percent a reference to the extremely popular Reddit r/nosleep story "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I have some stories to tell.". It's an extremely good read, in my opinion, really glad it's still getting shout outs
you do know that it a real thing, right? it an art piece in the middle of the woods called stairway to heaven by an unknown artist. still no one knowns why the artist put it there. it an urban legend about it.
Oh wow, sorry to hear your house was broken into. I’m really glad you and the rest of your family wasn’t hurt as it must be scary to be completely unconscious while someone is lurking around your house… Sending love and hope you get a new car soon, maybe even a better one!
I’m so glad I can answer one of these lol. If memory severs, apparently in some woods somewhere, you can find random stairs leading up and to no where. There’s all different types of stairs, from stone to wood, medieval to modern etc and if you were to go up them, you’d die in various different way. As you make your way up the stairs, you could see things/be transported to another world, but if someone was watching you from the ground, they would just see you going up as normal (I think). It’s either on r/no sleep or a creepypasta, but I’m pretty sure corpse, before they played games on their channel, (or another RUclipsr I can’t remember) covered it in a forest rescue series. It wasn’t just stairs that happened too, a lot of interesting things went on. Definitely recommend if you can find the videos.
The last Easter egg (the random stairs) is based on a story read by many creepy RUclipsrs (like Mr nightmare or corpse husband). The story is about a park ranger starting their new job and being told if they see stairs in the woods don’t walk up them because people who do don’t always come back
One of the most famous 4chan "stairs in the wilderness" stories is two friends hiking and coming across a staircase carved into the rock near a path they've been walking. They then here a woman's voice weakly calling for help up the staircase. The friend surges up the stairs while the story teller lags behind. He hears his friend talking reassuringly to someone before hearing him scream. It's described as a bone chilling sound filled with pain and fear. The story teller then _RUNS_ as fast as they can away and takes a single look back and they see a hunched figure standing at the top of the stairs. Once they get back to the trail parking lot, they come across an old man who ask him what happened. When the story teller says what happened, the old man frowns, shakes his head and returns to his truck and retrieves his gun. He looks at the story teller and tells him "I'm sorry for your lose" before disappearing onto the trail. The next day, there's a story about an unfortunate hiker who was mauled to death by a bear and that the bear was killed by a local hunter.
Tl:dr
Finding stairs that don't belong in the wild is bad news. Climbing to the top of them may be the last thing you do.
There's A Sidejob in Cyberpunk 2077 that Mentions David Martinez from "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" and if you do it, you can get Davids Jacket
There's also A Ton of other hidden References to Edgerunners as well, Such as the Apartments of the Crews, Rebecca's Shotgun near Arasaka Tower and even A Drink dedicated to David in the "Afterlife" Bar
if you go to Judy's apartment, and check her computer, you'll see that she messaged Lucy asking for help with something.
eventhough it was intentional, it's pretty neat how much easter eggs they added.
@@christopherson93 Interesting, I never knew that
The urban legend that stairs appear in the woods that lead to nowhere, they can range from 5 steps to 20+ steps up and it’s an urban legend cause anyone that was ever seen walk up these random stairs go missing, as well as the stairs afterwards
The Coffin right next to Sarah Connor is M. Smith. Likely a reference to Matt Smith's 11th doctor in doctor who
Took me way too long to find this comment
Does anyone know what it contains?
Plenty of other people have explained the creepypasta/urban legend origins of the staircase in the woods. But I would just like to add some extra context. If you do find a staircase in the woods, most likely it'll be leading up into a tree (not that far up though, only a couple feet). Look up into the tree and you'll most likely find what's known as a deer blind. Hunters will build the staircase to help them get up into their deer blind when they're out trying to assassina-*cough* *cough* I mean hunt deer.
That stairway is really interesting. BasisJumper has a better theory than me, but I like to think it’s a reference to Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven. You go up it and you get damaged because it’s taking you to heaven. That’s probably a crackpot theory, but it’s still a fun Easter egg!
Edit: I’m just a fan of the song, and I’m probably projecting lol.
I had the same though !
The doctors curse event didn't happen 2021 either, it was the event leading to extraction, but in the doktor's curse there's a announcer line saying "nobody can hear you scream in siege" as a reference to the alien movies
I don't need my therapy when I'm watching your videos
I'm sure someone already pointed this out but just in case, here it is again:
The S. Connor coffin containing an ass-load of guns is a direct reference to T3: Rise of the Machines when T-800, Kate Brewster and John Connor visit Sarah Connor's grave within the small mausoleum and T-800 ripped the coffin from its chamber and opened it, revealing a massive collection of stored weapons 'in accordance with her will'.
Sorry to hear about what happened to you, I hope you all can feel safe again real soon.
Stay strong!
Glad to hear you guys are all ok. also wanted to add that that just before the press [F] to pay respects reference, the HUD references the status bar from the first two DOOM games, as you can see the MC's eyes looking left to right, just like DoomGuy.
This video is truly the best video ever made, now time to watch it
the boss fight itself was loaded with references in that fashion police game. the way he was running was like the sandevistan effect from edgerunners, and he either has dragon slayer or that big sword that cloud uses
In fashion police squad during the xx_uwu_senpai_swagman_xx boss fight the transition to the second phase might be a reference to sonic mania’s phantom ruby, as the teleportation is very similar to those in sonic mania
And the boss's appearance alongside the environment is inspired by Tron
The red snake reference is when Thomas has to choose between blue pill or red pill
My little theory on the staircase is that it's the "stairway to heaven," the only problem is it doesn't actually kill your character when you climb them
feels like u are just "knocking on heavens door" then
@@remyjoelchiera6960 true
Oh my god, I get back to this channel after a break and hear this...Im so sorry for your home, glad that no one was hurt. Sending love from Slovakia!
The staircase one is a nod to old Appalachian weirdness. There are staircases to nowhere all over the place in seemingly random locations and the tale, as I heard it, was that if you travel up the staircase in the dusk sun then you could be "transported" from this reality to another. I've found plenty of the staircases but never tested the legend personally.
It's because of superstition. If someone say's you'll die if you do something specific, and that thing is 100% safe, you'll still feel inclined to not do it.
In Fashion Police, along with the MGS and Matrix references, the floating laughing, low poly head is a reference to an early 90’s movie “Lawnmower Man”
Me and some friends found some deck stairs just put in the middle of nowhere in the woods in NC. Years and years ago of course. We ran up them and jumped off countless times as if we were step into oblivion. Good times lol. Never once thought about how weird it was for the stairs to be there.
The Sarah Connor gun coffin is a direct reference to T3. In the film they go to a crypt to find her coffin and it turns out to be a weapons stash filled to the brim with guns. As for the stairs in the woods, it's become somewhat of an urban legend but most people have likely heard of them due to their inclusion in a large number of popular online horror stories or "creepy pastas" such "My Property isn't Normal" and "I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, I Have Some Stories to Tell" to name a couple stand outs and if I recall they even get a nod in the AMAZING creepypasta/book series, "Tales from the Gas Station". The stairs show up and disappear in the woods at random, usually completely clean, and are known to cause bad things to happen when people go up them, anything from a losing all your toenails, a sudden brain hemorrhage, or even someone disappearing without a trace, never to be found again.
If you visits Captain Eggcellent's house at around midnight, you'll find this easter egg right outside:
Nothing. This is a reference to his car being stolen, which the devs has included into the game.
3:44 85mil- 84 mil 960k leaves us at 40k players
the staircase is in reference to the park ranger r/nosleep stories when the ranger would frequently encounter such things and was always told to ignore them, with the damage it is said that if you climb them something bad will happen one person apparently lost a few fingers
I really liked that the Fashion Police boss even used Cyberpunks Sandevistan in the fight xD
In Halo: Reach the description for the Black Visor is "You can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black. This was Ford's sort of motto for the Model T
I think that last one is a nod to Skyrim as the staircase looks oddly like the ones commonly found there.
I believe this is supported by you getting fus ro dah-d when reaching the top of the stairs
Also also believe the possible theory of it being a reference to the old staircase creepypastas
The poster next to Stanley and QWOP was also a really popular streaming channel called the VGCW, which regularly held "Story mode" wrestling tales between all kinds of popular videogame characters remade in WWE.
the stairs in the woods is definitely a refrence to that creepypasta/stories of random stairs in the woods that have various consequences when you climb to the top, some stories say they teleport you to a different universe, some stories say you just die if you climb them in mysterious ways, some say you just dissapear, never to be seen again
There's also a tron reference right before the mgs reference that's definitely a cluster and a half lol
the red "snake things" for the T.Anderson should be the tracking device that Agent smith plants in Neo at the start of the first movie
My thoughts on the stairs is a Wayne's World reference. When in the guitar shop Wayne starts playing a song. The employee immediately stops him and points to a sign on the back wall that reads "No Stairway to Heaven" Wayne then repeats it "No Stairway. Denied!"
I've never heard about the Stairs in the woods urban legend, The only thing I could think about when I saw the stairs, specifically when you go up how you get blasted away with an explosion of light, is the series "Wynonna Earp".
In deadrising 2 off the record, just after going up the elevator after stalking tk there’s a door on the left wall at the other end of the hallway with the backpack of chucks daughter from the standard dr2 game and frank says “who would bring a kid here”
Yeah, The stairs are a reference to Missing 411, Stories from hikers and park rangers about odd happenings in the woods where people go missing or vanish for days, months, years
With the coffin meme part, the characters are designed like the terminator from T3 when he carries the coffin
There's an urban legend from the northwest about staircases found seemingly out of place in national parks and the legend links it to unexplained disappearances
The red snake for the T. Anderson Coffin might be a metaphor for the Red Pill that Anderson takes while the snake is referring to him "going down the rabbit hole" as a reference to what Morpheus told Mr. Anderson ("Take the Red Pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes."). Got to this conclusion as snakes often go down burrow holes made by other animals and uses them as shelters, most of them being rabbit holes. Dunno if this was their intent for the developers, but considering the Matrix trilogy is rife with metaphors, this could be one as well.
1:12 to everyone wandering the names are M.Smith for Agent Smith (Matrix) S.Connor for Sarah Conor (Terminator) W.White for Walter White (Breaking Bad) and T.Anderson for Thomas Anderson aka Neo (Matrix) edit:the reason why red snakes pop out is from a scene when Neo wakes up and btw the stairway is most likely a stairway to heaven
the abundance of guns in that coffin actually fits a scene from terminator 3 where they break open her coffin and find a bunch of guns
The worms in Andersons coffin could be a reference to the thing the agents put into his belly button to track him.
I was gonna say if you ended dying to the stairs it could be a stairway to heaven joke lol
In Grounded, if you head up to the bag of charcoal behind the spilled grill at the top of the map you can find a sword in a flaming piece of charcoal you can attempt to pull out. This is a reference to King Arthur’s Excalibur but also possibly to Dark Souls with the way to sword appears over the fire.
i know a lot of people talk about the stairs being references to urban legends about stairs being found in the woods, but to me the fact that it almost kills you makes me think its supposed to be a stairway to heaven, in reference to the song
i think the stairs could just be something left in the game from early testing, it could be used to test climbing stairs, tripwire grenades, grenade explosions, knockback, vertical tripwires since it's on a staircase, etc
That comes channel is amazing lmao "694.20" also the stairway is a reference to folklore about "never go through doors in the woods" or "never walk up stairs to nowhere." Don't really see enough of the irl supernatural references in games like that
Makes me happy seeing generation zero, one of my favorite games, first game I bought
The player getting thrown down the forest staircase might also be a nod to the myth that in a certain graveyard, if you count the steps, you can get in contact with demons. If you try to climb the hill the staircase is on without using said stairs then you get pushed back.
Next to T. Anderson and S. Connor is M. Smith or Morty Smith. Also, the two dead kids that have the 237 key are a reference to the Grady twins in The Shining.
the red things coming out of Thomas Anderson's coffin are those of the cables taht both fuel life for him and the battery power of the robots.
the scene where he pulls his "cables" in the real world and not the "matrix" they were very red and look very similar and i believe he had 6 attached. arms, legs, chest, and back of the neck.
Sort of a nod though to its older games, and in a way its also an easter egg: In Halo they have ships named after older bungie games, the Marathon, and Infinity. I believe in the flavor text for a gun in destiny 2 they make a reference to a rebellion on mars, which is also a Marathon reference.
I believe that the staircase in the woods is a reference to the Guitar store scene from the first Wayne's World movie. He started playing "Stairway to Heaven" but gets stopped from playing it. The shop guy points to a sign that says No Stairway.
6:40 could all those people behind the coffin be a reference to Postal Dude? Kinda looks like him 🤔
That last one is a fantastic nod the internet urban legend about a bunch of mysterious stairs found in the woods that supposedly will transport you to some unknown location never to be see again. A very nice changeup from the usual go-to's for Easter eggs.
In the crypt there is a grave marked C. Spaulding which is a reference to Captain Spaulding, a character from rob zombies firefly trilogy, he was played by sid haig who sadly passed away in 2018
So heres my story of stairs i found.
My sister and i were going to hike across the Aokigahara forest. Yes, suicide forest. We could do it in a single day if we tried. But we wanted to spend a night.
The destination was from Camp Akaike north of the Mt. Fuji to Grinpa, south of Fuji.
We took the south bend as it was closer.
We informed everyone what we were doing. It was a fun camping and sight seeing trip. No questions on why it was just my twin and i. >.>
But it was a good change up as we were usually stuck around the family housing of Kadena.
We started at 9am, in late November when it was a bit too cold for insects and spiders.
So about … well idfk. We walked for about 8 hours on and off trails. Took a break every hour. But wile traveling southwards, i kept in mind the sound of birds and the tree brush. This was mostly because birds get worked up when something around bothers them. As birds do.
But wile hiking, you enter kind of a drone mode when your just keep doing the same fucking thing over and over, i think its the body saving energy or something.
So before i knew it the sun was overhead and it was noticeable as i came to a small patch that was cleared, just no growth but fauna. I walked into the clearing as i saw something that looked out of place.
My sister followed me behind.
I looked back at my sister and was as confused as i was from what we saw.
A set of concrete stairs.
They had a base. It was like concrete youd see at a inner city government building.
It had FRESHLY looking painted hand rails that went from the top to bottom of the set.
Only about 9 steps.
And i noticed that the paint was fresh as it had not been color warped by the sun or damaged by weather. Infact, there wasnt a leaf or piece of debris on the stairs or base.
Looking to where the set was leading to, was nothing but a natural drop off or natural curving dip in the terrain covered in leaves and dirt.
I felt hyper aware and a feeling of awkwardness and unease. It was just so out of place and looked so pristine, that it didnt feel right.
Then i noticed, there was no sound.
No birds, no rustling leaves from wind in the trees, just the gentle heat of the sun on my face.
It didnt feel right. Something was wrong. ‘When mother nature gets quiet, you should move along’. A quote that iv held onto from a hunter-safety corse.
My sister and i got back on course. But just after, we checked our time. We somehow lost 4 hours.
Another point that was odd is that we had overcast the entire day. So we couldnt see the sun so we relied on lighting to set up camp.
So a point i wonder to this day… how was my face getting warm off the sunshine if there was overcast?
After our hike that was mostly uneventful from then on. We finished it, got onto a charter 25min flight back to Okinawa. And then a new event.
We set off the base’s radiation sniffer box when walking by it. We were brought in, stripped, washed, tested, and so forth.
Giving our initial explanation, the japanese officials got involved thinking a company was dumping waste into the woods.
Our shoes had to be incinerated, my jacket read up high than background levels, but wasnt harmful, but i offered it up anyway. Cuz fuck that.
I read out to have absorbed my years dose worth of radiation (which isnt much as theres only a month left), my sister a bit less. Nothing was harmful, apparently.
When we told them where it was, the JSDF used a radiation sniffer plane to locate the possible waste dump.
They couldnt find anything. So because of how serious they took this, they put us on a helicopter and flew us around the path we took at a reasonable altitude.
We found the clearing. But no stairs. They detected nothing. We all went home.
My sister and i both still remember this.
The stairs is based off a story from hikers and people from the fire department. Just a random set of stairs in the middle of a forest. It moves aswell apparently
The Stair in the woods are obviously a reference to the quote from Wayne’s World ‘No Stairway? Denied!’
I don’t know if you’ve found this or looked into this but in dying light 2 there is a side quest where you find a lady singing for her dead husband, she asks you to retrieve some letters in a safe. In that safe there is a bracelet that you can pick up, when you return to the lady aiden brings up the fact that there were valuables in the safe ( she lets you keep them ). But I’m curious to know if aiden would say anything about the valuables if you don’t take them from the safe, maybe you could find out?
The stares may be a reference to the Wynona Earp Sci-fi series where there's a force field preventing entry in the last season.
In just die already, the grave next to Sarah Connor’s is M.Smith which may be a reference to Matt Smith who plays the Doctor in Doctor Who. So if you open it and there’s a fez or a sonic screwdriver, it would definitely be a reference
Pretty sure its morty smith from rick and morty
