The Mkay Magazine Treasure Hunt

REM happens when you’re asleep, if you add WLK as walking, maybe sleep walking?

How about Ludo Feast phonetic clue for Judas Priest.

Found the first one on an evening walk on Aspholmen, as you suggested @Gysbert . Then I visited a few places where musicians have been known to reside (Salthamn and Ôsterhällan) but to no avail. I don’t really recall seeing another copy of Mkay, but playing on Xbox the graphics is not remotely as good as on PC, so I might not have noticed. Are you sure a second copy exists?

Btw I also visited Hjortqvarns Sågverk (close to Himmfjäll) to check the top of the tall silo. Any idea why this place was added? Not much going on there …

Could be, yes. I considered something in the lines of a game party. I believe Ludo is ablative of ludus in latin meaning something like “I’m playing (a game)”. I also considered the musical Chess, but I don’t think it fits in.

No, I have no explanation for that, other than enhancing the game world environment. Maybe they planned some future missions there but that never happened. I looked at the missions, and the whole sawmill location is only mentioned once in lore. (in Courage, Power and Resilience and in Woodcutter).
Not too long ago they added the stairs to the top at IGA too.

"Mården, this is Tore Ludvig Three. We know you are not answering, but hopefully you are still listening. We have pursued the enemy into the forest approximately 1 klick north-west of Hjortqvarns sawmill. Still no sight of other -
- wait. Behind! Take cov --"

Edit: I found a second mention not via the name Hjortqvarns Sagverk, but found “Lumberyard near Lerberget” in the mission Woodcutter. Funny thing though, the manager who we need to find in the woodcutter mission, today is clothed in medical wear, this was not originally the case. How did that happen? :man_shrugging:

No, I just had the distinct feeling I saw another one, but like I said earlier I do tend to dream about games sometimes, that make me feel like it’s an actually memory. But if this is supposed to be an Easter egg, (I color marked it as such on my map) there is no need for another one to exist, is there?

Did you know that if you look closely under the MKAY magazine, you can actually catch a tantalising glimpse of what’s printed on the back cover? It’s partially obscured by the slats of the table, but the visible letters seem to spell out “Fotokungen” which translates to “The Photo King.” Fotokungen is actually the name of a real Swedish photo service company. Can anyone else get a better view? There is more writing and PC players always tend to get a better resolution.

I tried to get to get a better shot but I could not.
Just :speech_balloon: the devs, to show you the whole back picture. :bulb:

Good idea, I’ll give live support a try, maybe I’ll get a reply. Was kinda hoping for a pic of the Apple Tree Killer or something fun like that, haha! Doubtful :joy::joy::joy:
