Resident Evil 2: 11 Insanely Cool Secrets & Easter Eggs You Need To See

11. Where'd You Get Those Peepers?

In order to witness this small but no less welcome throwback to the original Resident Evil 2, you'll have to unlock the true ending by completing either Leon or Claire's B scenario. That, of course, entails facing off against Birkin's hideous fifth and final form aboard the last train out of Raccoon City, so be sure to keep a few rockets spare or risk getting chomped on.

Regardless of your preferred method of dispatch, once you've fought Birkin off for good, a brief close-up shot of his sole, bulbous eye will precede the fiery death that awaits him. If the nightmare-inducing image above looks familiar to your seasoned survival horror eyes, it's because you saw it 20 years ago on the original game's menu screen.

It's the little things that count.
