Today, on October 2nd, the community stream “State of the Game” for The Division 2 was live. In addition to some gameplay innovations, a mystery was discussed that has apparently not yet been revealed.
What is this mystery? The Division 2 is packed with puzzles and Easter eggs. Many things have already been discovered, and even the developers are repeatedly amazed at how quickly such mysteries are solved.
However, a very specific boss in the “Manning National Zoo” has not yet been discovered. The developers gave hints in the stream on how to solve the riddle.
What is the “State of the Game” livestream? The Division is a service game and is constantly being developed. In addition to new content, the developers are also working on balance changes and gameplay adjustments.
Some of the decisions are not always understandable for the community, and Massive uses streams, forums, and social media to explain their work on the game. This makes the development clearer for players and provides feedback to developers about their game.
Undiscovered mystery spoiled
In episode #135 of the “State of the Game” stream, however, it wasn’t just about the upcoming Title Update 6. The two hosts also discussed a previously undiscovered mystery.
How can I be the first? It likely involves a very specific boss that hides behind some mechanics in the mission “Manning National Zoo”. Here are the specific hints:
- Undiscovered boss in the mission “Manning National Zoo”
- The first step does not involve UI interaction
- Something unknown must be done in the mission
- for example, shoot certain objects or throw grenades into a hole
- After that, an interaction opportunity appears that spawns a boss.
The bounty hunt begins
Am I really the first? That cannot be said for sure. The developer guest in the live stream, Trick Dempsey, talked about his search for clues to solve the mystery and couldn’t discover any guide or even mention of the riddle.
YouTuber finds boss after a few hours
Update: With the hints, the boss was found quite quickly. The YouTuber “NothingButSkillz” uploaded this video last night, a few hours after the stream, on “The Gaming Channel”.
What about the next Title Update? The test servers for the update ran until yesterday, October 1st, and Title Update 6 is expected to release in mid-October. You can check here for the announced updates for the next update:
