Easter Egg Guides - spoilers (feel free to add your own guides)
Since this map has so many cool easter eggs and some can be rather complicated to trigger I thought a discussion like this might be helpful.

One which I really struggled finding even after seeing it in Thunder Ghost's video was the James event when opening a door onto the top part of the pool area.

So l'll start this thread with that event.

to trigger it you must first trigger the first James event (In the locker room with a door overlooking one of the top pools) by going to the far left of the room when you should hear the sound of someone struggling in the water, James should be in the corner of the pool when you walk forward, when you get too close, he will quickly dive underwater and vanish.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3350439818

When this has triggered you should walk past the two doors in the poolside corridor and enter the arch on your left before going the steps, to your left there should be a small outdoor area where 'everyone is gone' is written opposite from you enter the area and walk around until you trigger an announcement.

To trigger the other encounter, you must approach from the direction of the green Hotel like area. Head into the white courtyard and walk over to the windows overlooking the green area. Enter from the door on the right , then go to the enclosed area to the left of the door and go through the first door you come too it should lead you to a staircase.

Follow the stairs down and take the left door into the wooden floored corridor, follow the corridor through the only usable doors until you reach an area with a ramp leading to a cloudy glass door, look to the right and you should see a dark corridor.

Open that door and make your way down to last door on the left. This should take you to the pool area once again.

Where James should briefly appear before being engulfed in pink light.

If you open the door beforehand you might catch a glimpse of James crawling on the ceiling in front of the door frame.

Note: Might add some more later, thinking of sharing how to get the other mostly unknown event (Where James appears in a window)



Feel free to share any guides for other events

He looks like the villain of the second Spiderverse movie with the tentacles.

You're right, he kinda does

Also random fact as i don't know where to put this but James is nicknamed sunfollower in the files (potential lore)

you can see using the hacking goggles from the simple I/O viewer add-on

Easter egg guide 2- James in window

Start by the pink shutter in the car garage area, walk past the ramp to the left enter the door with a green check mark.

Head up one flight of stairs then take the door with a window next to the next flight of stairs.

continue in a straight line through the opposite door, and follow the railings around to the other end of the room and open the windowed door into an orange corridor.

Head through the opposite door into the room with the models of Gmod buildings and say hi to Phillip Jeffrey’s next to the door while you pass.

Enter the door at the other end of the room, which should be hidden by the woodern screen.

Turn left and continue down the corridor along all the twists and turns until you get to the door at the end.

Continue to the small set of stairs across from you and take a left torwards the white complex sign with a long desk below it.

Then take another left passing the long desk and a smaller round desk to reach the far corner, to the left there should be a staircase which you should accend

You will find yourself in an orange room, walk forward and climb the stairs opposite to the door with the pink sun symbol

Ignore the first two doors you come to at the top of the stairs and continue into the rest of the rooms. Take the door next to the James mural.

Head left torwards the glass handrail and follow the path down a L shape and through the furthest along door at the end.

Follow the corridor until you get to the area with a single plant opposite some stairs.

Walk over to the small enclosed area with the plant where there should be a staircase next to the two doors, take it up and enter the room at the top.

This is the room where you will have the James encounter.

To activate it walk to the opposite end of the room and stop near the window. You should see James watching you from a window across the liminal gallery courtyard area.

If you walk back to the door or open the door to the right then he will disappear.

я реально просто в шоке оказывается на карте есть ивенты с james я думал это просто граффити на картах. а он реально есть и появляется на картах. я реально не думал что на картах есть такие ивенты. я думал надо ловить определённые триггеры для музыки или открытие некоторых дверей. спасибо чувак что нашёл это
spartan8901 1 Nov, 2024 @ 1:16am 
меня почему то реально переполняют эмоции что на картах есть что то ещё. теперь исследовать можно будет более внимательнее. большой тебе респект за это
spartan8901 1 Nov, 2024 @ 1:18am

The Mimic in window encounter is in Pink place, I can explain how to get it if you want.

Although there is a different Mimic encounter in white complex, although I have no idea how you get it.

I can try and give you some instructions on finding The Mimic in Pink place

I’ll make a similar thread In the Pink Place discussions when I can get around to it and I’ll explain the Mimic/Terrance sequence. (Since not sure if should put it here due to it being on another map)

I found how to activate two different secrets.

First one is to get James(?) to appear in the smaller courtyard. In the middle of the smaller courtyard, head for the bushes and turn left, Don't go through any doors and turn right when you can. Head into the corner where you'll find 2 white doors. After a moment, the speakers should start playing.
Head back to the middle of the courtyard and face the wall opposite of the bushes. On the wall, there's windows and 2 doors all facing the bushes. Enter the door on the left and turn right. James should appear through the windows on your right. Keep heading straight past the small pillar and James will start freaking out and will shake your screen.


The next one is to get the mimic/statue to appear. Unfortunately, unless there's another trigger to get the mimic to appear, I don't think this one's actually intended to be "seen" unless you're noclipping for reasons I'll get to in a second.
Back to the smaller courtyard. Stand in the middle of the courtyard and face the bushes. Turn left and you should see a wall with windows and 2 doors. Approach the door on the right; you don't have to go inside it, just stand in front of it.
Now go to the larger courtyard. Luckily the easiest way is through the door you're standing in front of. In the courtyard, you should see the cardboard cuttout of a person standing in a window that you probably just passed under. Find the stairs and go visit it. Stand right next to it and don't move away from it.


Congratulations! The mimic is now standing in the open area with the sun, right above the "Everyone is Gone" graffiti. Walking away from the cardboard cutout will cause it to disappear. Oh yeah, there's also no way to actually see the mimic from where you're standing.
It was a miracle that ThunderGhost got the mimic to appear given this very specific condition on top of the mimic easily just disappearing from where you trigger it. It makes me wonder if there's similar secrets that you can't actually see without noclipping.

Awesome you figured out the mimic event, I saw that it existed but hadn’t been able to figure it out myself.

It’s interesting that it seems to be a noclip only secret. Part of me wants that to be lore relevant even tho idk how that would even work XD.

Note about the James event (btw you did get his name right) you need to trigger the James in pool event first before this one will appear. At least I think you do, thunderghost seemed to think so and I haven’t personally tested it.

Also fun fact: the second James form can actually damage you and the trigger calls it purification.
