EE list and curiosities

Hi, compared to the first Ori, I noticed that the focus on easter eggs in this new chapter is less felt, so why not make a quick collection of easter eggs encountered during the gameplay ?
For now I have met 3 + 10 (UPDATE 4 + 11) and after searching for info about it, seems that others haven't been found. Anyway, going into detail, 4 are officially easter eggs while the others are more curiosity that is right to mention. ATTENTION SPOILERS
If anyone else finds out something new, his comment will be welcome.
Tnx

Official Easter Eggs

The most famous, found immediately by the players, namely the reference to Ku's mother, whose face appears as a constellation during the prologue.

The moki who likes to fish in Luma Pools: completed its quest, the moki will return to the village but the fishing rod will remain at the lake, if you lower yourself on it and press "shift" key, you can try to catch a fish.

In Moki village, if you pay attention in the foreground near the Kii's ancestral tree, hidden among the flowers of the background, you can see a stylized hen, which may have to do with the next work of Moon Studios, which seems to be a Zelda-style game ?
We well knows how famous Zelda hens are!

Reappearance of the easter egg from "Ori and the Blind Forest", the carved message on tree: "A♥S", inserted by a Moon Studios programmer, Arie, for his girlfriend, Sasha.
This time is located on a rock in Windswept Wastes.

Curiosities

Peculiarities, if you pay attention to the background, in areas of particular interest you will see on some stones, cave paintings made by Moki as a warning. In fact, Kwolok himself tells Ori that the information he has, has been reported to him by the Moki who scoured Niwen.
In Midnight Burrows complete the quest of Tokk: Ori will acquire the translation rune that Tokk was looking for. Returning it to him causes him to complain that the text is backward. This is a hint to bash off the bell-flowers in reverse order to gain access to the secret Ancestral Tree to the right of the area's entrance, which grants Ori Ancestral Light.
In the early versions of game menu, where the progress of the quests appears, it seems that there was a seventh box in the Tuley flower section, graphic error that was then corrected with an update.
Wanting to hypothesize, maybe it wasn't a graphic error but a cut content, if you think well, of all the plants that are then grown in the village, two don't appear (the plants on the ground that release spheres of life and the individual blue flowers to which you can grapple).

After defeating Mora, in Moki village a cute spiderling will take home beneath Twillen's workshop.
Howl is defeated but not killed, in the third large area of Silent Woods appears in the background a petrified monster like that (although the size is smaller), which is the end suffered during his escape?
If you notice the game map, two large unused areas appear (under Luma Pools and near Windtorn Ruins), in which two new areas could be added to explore, a bit like the Definitive Edition of Blind Forest.
Apparently in the files of the game, you can find references to a cut content that refers to an area called "City of the Gorleks".
After completing "Family Reunion" quest, if you return to the hut of the quest in Silent Woods, you'll see a very sad thing.
It isn't uncommon for large-scale production games to use aliases to maintain secrecy in the case of a potential leak. The internal name for Ori and the Will of the Wisps was Patagonia. This name can still be seen on the product ID of the Windows 10 copy of the game, and appears in the program's namespace.
At the beginning of the game, in Naru's house, there are some berries on the ground that can be moved by Ori's movements and jumps, the two larger light orange berries will also explode and cause a vibration on the controller after Ori jumps over them many times.
During the initial cutscene of Ku's growth, in the winter section of the video, it can be seen how Ori and Naru created a snowman with the similarities of Naru's deceased father.

In the menu, Shriek's picture shows up when you defeat her, even when you reload the game.

Tnx I also updated with what you mentioned, plus a new curiosity.

Ah, thanx mucho! - the Family Reunion aftermath was simply poor observation on my part (it did look different earlier, but I when I saw the aftermath I assumed that was how it always had looked).

Also, it might help to use the word beneath Twillen's Workshop, as that one took me a while to find.

And finally, someone pointed out that the same "A heart S" that is carved into a tree in The Blind Forest's Thornfelt Swamp is also carved into the bottom of a piece of wood in the Windswept Wastes (kinda hard to describe exactly where it is, but there are youtube videos out there).

Excellent guide, though!

No, you can't really catch fish, ORI goes fishing with the rod but catches nothing, poor guy!

Did you finish the quest? If so, and you didn't see anything, either something went buggy or you haven't finished the quest yet.
If you do everything right, when you return to the hut you will see the whole family embracing each other petrified, the father sacrificing himself to be with his wife and daughter.

Is it possible to catch a fish? Also I returned to the hut after the Family Reunion quest, but everything in the hut looked exactly the same as before (except that the petrified doll wasn't there, of course) ...
