The developers of Mordhau have included a small Easter egg in honor of a deceased YouTuber. With a gravestone and a small addition, a tribute is paid to the British YouTuber TotalBiscuit.
What is this tribute? In Mordhau, there is a small grave surrounded by stones and adorned with a gravestone. A black cylinder hangs on this gravestone, and daisies grow on the grave.
Where can I find the grave? The grave itself can be found on the map “Camp”. Here it is located in the southwest of the map, just outside the Free Guard camp. From the spawn point “Camp”, head towards the stables, going out the leftmost exit when you are facing the river.
From there, follow the road a little way until you reach a patch of grass with some trees. There you will find the grave, next to where the Deserter zone begins. In the video embedded below, you can see the way clearly.
Mordhau honors YouTube legend
What is the black cylinder doing there? The black cylinder was a kind of trademark for the YouTuber John “TotalBiscuit” Bain. He often wore the hat in his videos and at official appearances.
Who is TotalBiscuit? TotalBiscuit was especially known for his gaming critique on YouTube. He was a strong advocate for transparency and openness and did not sugarcoat his opinions, which earned him great fame but also made him unpopular with some people.
He stepped back from the public eye for a while before passing away in May 2018 at the age of 33. There were numerous reactions to his death. Blizzard honored him in Starcraft 2, which TotalBiscuit had professionally cast for a while.
Other representatives of the gaming industry attacked TotalBiscuit after his death and spoke very disparagingly about him, like former BioWare developer David Crooks.
With an Easter egg in Mordhau, the developers definitely reach a large audience, as the game is extremely popular:
