What Easter egg? We cannot read your mind.
Buildstarted•31m ago
based on the description i'm assuming this is the easter egg. `At 1:03 the camera holds on the western ocean. There's a cave down there with a Borland in it (Zanderphagus scarii). I inject a bunch of fish in to coax him out. The wiki says he only comes out when there are enough fish. What isn't written there, is that it's also only at night but the game doesn't tell the player when that happens except for a toolbar image in the original game.`
