Did you catch any of these 9 Easter eggs in Arcane season 2?
1. Janna, Swain, and Orianna
Arcane Season 2 seamlessly integrates League of Legends lore, with champions like Janna, Swain, and Orianna.
Throughout the acts, Janna’s influence is suggested through discussions of mysterious winds aiding travelers, aligning with her lore as the Storm’s Fury.
In episode 9, a crow with glowing eyes appears ominously before morphing into a three-eyed crow, referencing Swain’s crow, Beatrice.
Additionally, Viktor’s “Glorious Evolution” brings life to Dr. Reveck’s daughter, who gazes at a ballerina, a subtle tease to Orianna’s early stages.
2. Teemo!
The infamous Yordle scout is referenced across several episodes. Posters, graffiti, and Teemo’s entire hat is a subtle reminder that Teemo is everywhere.
These appearances underscore his influence in League of Legends. They also serve as a playful nod to players who know just how disruptive Teemo (or his Shrooms) can be on the battlefield.
3. Jhin’s Mask
In episode 7 of Arcane Season 2, Jhin’s iconic mask makes a brief appearance during Ekko’s memory glitch in the alternate universe.
The moment is so quick that only fans with sharp eyes could catch it right away.
4. Murk Wolf
This moment probably triggered something deep inside jungle main players.
In the end of episode 1 of Arcane Season 2, Dr. Reveck is seen luring a two-headed creature for Vander’s completion. As the creature steps into the light, it is revealed to be the Murk Wolf.
5. Chempunk Chainsword
In episode 1, during the chaos surrounding the memorial for the fallen, the mother of the child Jayce killed wields a weapon resembling the Chempunk Chainsword.
This subtle nod to League of Legends’ anti-healing item, commonly used against top lane champions.
6. Rabadon’s Deathcap
In episode 7 of Arcane Season 2, after Powder startles Ekko, a brief moment reveals Rabadon’s Deathcap is for sale in the background of Benzo’s shop.
This subtle Easter egg is a clever nod to League of Legends AP champion’s iconic item. It’s often considered a late game buy as it boosts raw ability, frequently bought by mages.
7. Ekko and Powder’s 4 frames per second dance scene
Many fans may have noticed a drop in frame rate during a brief sequence in Arcane Season 2, episode 7, where Ekko and Powder share a joyful moment, dancing in four frames per second.
This intentional decrease is a direct reference to Ekko’s Ultimate ability, Chronobreak, where he rewinds time by exactly four seconds.
8. Rakan and Xayah
In episode 6 of Arcane, two birds can be spotted in Viktor’s garden, eating fruits together. Their colors appear to reflect Rakan and Xayah from League of Legends.
Only true bot lane fans (or couples) will likely catch this charming detail, showcasing a thoughtful nod to the beloved champions.
9. LoL Esports Team logos
In Episode 7 of Arcane Season 2, while Ekko explores the Alternate Universe, a brief background shot reveals a carnival game featuring a wheel adorned with League of Legends esports team logos.
