With most games nowadays, players will miss a lot of the content buried within, and Watch Dogs: Legion is no exception. This game has an enormous map, a large selection of different vehicle types to test drive, and a seemingly infinite number of possible recruits wandering the streets.
Additionally, Ubisoft has hidden a surprisingly large amount of Easter eggs within the game. These range from subtle references to other Ubisoft games, like Assassin’s Creed, to references to popular movies. This game is still new, so the secret content in Watch Dogs: Legion is still being uncovered and what has been found so far is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
10 The 2 A.M. Party
At The Roberts and Scott Hall there is a CtOS Hub that gives access to the cameras in what appears to be an underground bunker with mannequins having a party. By moving around to different cameras players will notice a Defalt Mask sitting under a table. The QR Code on a poster in this room gives the message, “Find my private party @2AM.” Many have not been able to find this party. To get to this room go to the City of London district and go into the river almost exactly between the two bridges. Look for the stone arch with double doors. At 2 A.M. these doors will be unlocked. Have fun at the party.
9 Assassin’s Watch Dogs
One thing that players might have missed, especially if they have never played any of the Assassin’s Creed games, is the numerous references to that famous Ubisoft franchise. The Assassin’s Creed reference most easily found is during the “Gap in the Armor” mission. After accessing the CtOS Hub at Battlebridge Basin the player can make a leap of faith from the roof – to the left of the hub. As the character dives into the water a familiar eagle screech can be heard. Another Assassin’s Creed reference can be found at the Tower of London – look for the red shoe.
8 Crying Woman
After escaping Albion’s headquarters you need to make your way through the catacombs beneath London. At some point players are likely to encounter a statue of Queen Victoria; that will be turned to face the player as they approach.
If players get close to the wall near the statue they should be able to hear a woman crying. As of yet, it is unknown if this is merely a little Easter egg, or if there is something more to this crying. Perhaps with the right gear or recruit it is possible to explore this phenomenon further, but for now there is no known interaction possible. Maybe a thread for future DLC.
7 Screaming Toy Car
To find this secret, players must first hack a drone – the small drone, not the cargo drone – and fly it up to the spire of St. Paul’s Cathedral. On this spire is a yellow and red toy car sitting on a ledge near the top; it looks similar to a Suzuki Samurai or Jeep Wrangler. As the drone approaches this toy car a scream can be heard (it’s not hard to miss). This is supposedly a reference to the movie Jurassic Park, and was also an Easter Egg that could be found in Watch Dogs 2.
6 Rolf Read
There are many, many great recruits to be found in Watch Dogs: Legion. One recruit that players should search for is a man named Rolf Read – the beekeeper. There are actually a few beekeepers available for recruiting. Rolf comes with several perks. First, he can summon a swarm of bees and direct them toward enemies - these bees are fairly powerful. Second, Rolf’s beekeeping suit makes him immune to shock weapons. Third, he comes equipped with a unique weapon called Overcharger; that packs quite a punch and works in tandem with the bee swarm. Lastly, Rolf will get a lighter sentence if arrested.
5 Special Roundabout
In the Westminster District there is a roundabout that hides a special ability – it plays music as the player drives around. This is not difficult to locate; bring up the map and look for seven streets converging to a central point. When the cursor is near the center point the map will show the location as Seven Dials. This circular area has lines made from lighter colored strips that radiate from the center. As the player drives, or walks, across these lines a music note will play. This little secret really shows how much effort and care Ubisoft put into the making of this game.
4 The Queen’s Guard
This is one of those secrets that is found only by players that have spent the time exploring every square inch of the map – or from an article detailing secrets within the game. To find this area, players must use a cargo drone to fly to St. Dunstan-in-the-East. This is a partially destroyed church near the Tower of London that is being used as a park.
Use the drone you fly over the second story area with an iron fence. After jumping down into this area (or tossing a spider drone) the player needs to look behind the large metal box to reveal several Queen’s Guard figurines standing in formation beside a red show and a small British flag.
3 Secret Tea Party
There is a tea party in the Three Hawker Boys pub that is extremely well hidden. To gain admittance to this party go to the second floor and deploy a spider drone. Walk the drone into the fireplace and push the back wall of it open. In this hidden room are three white cats sitting in fancy chairs having a tea party; one of them is even wearing a top hat. Littered around the room are many empty milk cartons and boxes. Most of these boxes contain more white cats, whose eyes can be seen looking out of the hand-holds. There is also a map in this room detailing other areas where these white cats can be found.
2 Binary Message
This is an actual riddle, wrapped in an enigma. In Skye Larsen’s hidden base, which is located in the Wernicke House in the Westminster District. In the base are four pods that the player can access. Each pod’s profile has a binary code that when combined and translated reads, “Jared Thanks You For Digging.” It’s still a mystery as to what this message means though. As of yet nobody has been able to discover if this rabbit hole goes any deeper. Perhaps there is an area where the player can dig something out of the ground; or maybe “digging” is meant to be more figurative than literal. Time will tell.
1 John Wick
Okay, so you can’t really find the actual John Wick, but you can find a hitman recruit that looks like him and has a particular set of skills that Mr. Wick also possesses. To find this recruit requires travelling to Brewer Street in Westminster. Look for the building with red lights with a building to the right of it bathed in purple lights (called Club Fantasy). In the alley between these two buildings a hitman attacking someone can be encountered. The hitman is the John Wick character. He comes with the Gunkata, Light Step, and Combat Roll abilities – along with a Desert Eagle handgun.
