Easter Eggs, Hidden Passives, Events and Quests in League
There are hidden within LoL jokes made by Riot Games (easter eggs), events which trigger on specific conditions and champion passives associated with their lore story. Each of them has a minor impact on the gameplay and in this guide we will look at them in more detail. These little “secrets” inside LoL are fun, but they can also matter in real ranked games — sometimes they give vision, movement speed, or even bonus gold that can swing a fight in solo queue.
Competitive players (including many of our high-elo boosters) keep track of these quest triggers and hidden passives because tiny stat differences can decide a kill, a drake, or Baron. This page collects the most famous LoL easter eggs, quests, hidden passives, and map secrets in one place.

LoL EVENTS aka QUESTS
THE HUNT IS ON!
This event is about confrontation of 
Rengar against 
Kha’Zix (two champions who are often used during LoL elo boosting and duo boosting sessions) and the only easter egg that has serious gameplay impact. When this unique quest triggers, the two iconic hunters basically receive a private 1v1 rivalry inside your ranked game. If you’re trying to climb and you main jungle, understanding this interaction can help you snowball extremely hard instead of accidentally donating a free evolution point to Kha’Zix.
Requirements for “The Hunt Is On!” to be started:
- Kha’Zix has to spend all three evolution points thus it can’t happen until he reach level 16.
- Rengar should have 12 stacks on his
Bonetooth Necklace. - Quest starts only when every player in the game is alive.
EVENT NOTES
- When event begins all players will receive “Quest Received” notification.
- “The Hunt Is On!” can’t happen more than once per game.
Rengar‘s reasons and reward:
- Rengar should take part in Kha’Zix slain (assist counts) to become the ultimate hunter.
- Kha’Zix the only beast who has escaped Rengar according to the lore story.
If Rengar reach his goal first Bonetooth Necklace (unique item in Rengar‘s trinket slot) is replaced with an item called 
Head of Kha’Zix. It provides advantages of full stacked Bonetooth Necklace and increases Rengar‘s vision in the bushes.
Head of Kha’Zix features:
- Rengar gains flat movement speed while out of combat or while in brush.
-
Unseen Predator’s range is increased by 125. -
Thrill of the Hunt stealth duration is increased. - Thrill of the Hunt ‘s bonus movement speed is doubled.
- Vision in bushes is increased.
Kha’Zix‘s reasons and reward:
- Kha’Zix should take part in Rengar slain (assist counts) to become the ultimate predator.
- Kha’Zix wants to devour Rengar, his greatest prey.
If Kha’Zix reach his goal first he gains fourth evolution point. This allows Kha’Zix to evolve each of his abilities. In practice, that means even more snowball pressure in mid and late game teamfights.
Winner of this event will get passive “Victory!” while the loser gets “Defeat!“
THE BATTLE FOR FRELJORD
There are three champions in this event who confront each other for the Queen of the Freljord title: 
Ashe, 
Sejuani and 
Lissandra. Main reason of this event according to lore is that each of them want to rule Freljord but have different views on how this should be done. From a gameplay point of view, this quest is mostly cosmetic, but it’s still one of the most iconic lore-driven rivalries in LoL.
Requirement for “The battle for Freljord” to be started:
- The sum of kills and assists of each champion involved in quest should be at least 20.
EVENT NOTES
- When event begins all players will receive “Quest Received” notification.
- There can be only one champion who is taking part in the event per team (e.g. if Ashe and Sejuani in same team while Lissandra in opposite, random choice between Ashe and Sejuani decide who will participate in the event).
- Winner of the event receives a crown above the head until the end of the game (crown doesn’t disappear on death). This is purely cosmetic but it’s a fun flex if you’re streaming or playing with friends.
Ashe‘s goals:
- Against Sejuani: Sejuani cannot be reasoned with. Ashe must defeat her to build a better future for the Freljord.
- Against Lissandra: Lissandra is an abomination. Ashe must eliminate her to protect her people.
Winning the event:
- Against Sejuani: Peace has been restored to the Freljord. Ashe will lead her people to a better future.
- Against Lissandra: The natural order of the Freljord has been restored. Ashe will lead her people to a better future.
Sejuani‘s goals:
- Against Ashe : Ashe’s peaceful alliance must be broken. Sejuani must kill her and rule with strength.
- Against Lissandra: Lissandra is an abomination. Sejuani must crush her to purify the Freljord.
Winning the event:
- Against Ashe : Weakness has been purged from the Freljord. No one challenges Sejuani’s rule.
- Against Sejuani : The Freljord has been purified. No one is strong enough to stop Lissandra. The rise of the Iceborn is at hand.
If you win game on Howling Abyss as Lissandra and won’t click “continue” for 30 seconds , she will tell you story of the battle for Freljord:
DANCE EASTER EGGS
SUMMONER’S RIFT EASTER EGG
Some of neutral monsters would like to dance with you. Look at this 
Blue Sentinel who dances only with 
Popstar Ahri. It’s a tiny cosmetic reference, but Riot loves rewarding specific skins and lore pairings with unique animations like this.
TWISTED TREELINE EASTER EGG
You can also look at 
Vilemaw the ultimate monster of Twisted Treeline who likes to dance with everyone, but insists that you bring at least one friend with you to his pit:
As you can see in the video Vilemaw copies Carlton dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air sitcom (1990 – 1996).
LoL HIDDEN PASSIVES
SUNGLASSES AGAINST LEONA, EASTER EGG
Champions who wear sunglasses or do it in their skin variations receive 1 less damage from
Leona’s 
Sunlight:
- All commando skins, e.g.
Commando Xin Zhao or 
Commando Garen - Surfer
Singed - Classic and
Aristocrat Vayne - Vandal
Twitch - Vandal
Gragas - Safari and
Officer Caitlyn - Dragon Fist
Lee Sin - Corporate
Mundo - Hired Gun and Riot
Graves
Sunlight does not deal additional 1 damage to Neon Strike 
Vi .
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
This is the reference to well known movie with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Whenever 
Jinx and Caitlyn / Vi (or they both in same moment) are in opposing teams, each of them gain “Catch me if you can!” cosmetic buff. This is basically Riot turning the Piltover vs Zaun rivalry into a mini cops-and-robbers scoreboard inside your match.
Jinx as criminal has next buff description: “ Caitlyn and Vi are chasing you. How fun! Cops Outsmarted: ” followed by her total number of Caitlyn / Vi kills/assists.
Caitlyn and Vi as cops have next buff description: “ Jinx is causing chaos again. How obnoxious… Criminals Apprehended:” followed by their Jinx kills/assists.
On each kill or assist of their targets, participants of the event gain 1 additional gold. It’s tiny, but it technically is bonus economy, and in close lane matchups every point of gold helps snowball toward first item spike.
ON THE CASE: “PILTOVER’S FINEST”
If Caitlyn and Vi are in the same team they receive the buff On The Case: “Piltover’s Finest” and gain additional 1 gold each time they score a kill together.
PLANTS VS ZOMBIES
This is reference to popular game in tower defense genre.
Sion and 
Karthus on one side and 
Zyra on other each gain 2 additional gold when they kill their rivals.
MORE Zyra’s HIDDEN PASSIVES
There are two plant related hidden passives Zyra has:
- When Zyra hit by Leona’s Sunlight , Zyra and her plants starting to glow slightly.
- When
Maokai passes very near to Zyra he gains 1 movement speed buff.
NINJAS EASTER EGGS
For each Ninja in team except yourself you lose 1 base HP. Ninja skins don’t count and it works only with following champions:
-
Zed -
Shen -
Akali -
Kennen
EXPERIENCED COUGAR
Cougar is slang term which means women who seeks for sexual relations with considerably younger men.
Nidalee provides +5 experience every 5 second to nearby champions whose level is lower than her. This passive is tiny, but in early laning it can help snowball an underleveled teammate back into XP parity, especially in ARAM or long jungle invades.
SKARNER EASTER EGG
If you spend 12 seconds in bush without any move, 
Skarner may say: “Skar Skar Skarner!“. This is reference to a pokemon anime and shows Riot’s habit of hiding voice-line easter eggs behind oddly specific conditions.
REINDEER KOG’MAW LOVES CHRISTMAS
Reindeer 
Kog’Maw paired with Silent Night 
Sona sings the song Deck the Halls:
EATEN BY THE SHARK
If 
Fizz’s 
Chum of Waters makes a final blow to the tiny champions ( 
Teemo, 
Poppy, 
Annie etc) there would be no corpse left. This is one of the most well-known “dark humor” kills in League.
SECRET TAUNTS
There are lots of easter eggs you can find by using taunts and emotes in LoL, so we won’t describe them all here. Many of these are lore jokes or character rivalries (for example, brothers insulting each other, mentors mocking students, etc.). You can watch this video with 
Yasuo to get an idea:
SUMMONER’S RIFT EASTER EGGS
There are hidden secrets and references you can find on the map. A lot of these are callbacks to very old LoL items that no longer exist, which long-time players still miss.
HEART OF GOLD
Heart of Gold is removed item that was a part of 
Randuin’s Omen and passively gained gold. On new Summoner’s Rift you can find it with “SOLD” sign in the red side shop. This is Riot’s little tribute to old tank/support gold-per-5 builds.
PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
Same story with Philosopher’s Stone hanging on the stone:
THE LEGENDARY EXCALIBUR
There is a sword in a stone. It refers to the story of the King Arthur and his loyal knights: Riot loves these fantasy/myth nods, and Summoner’s Rift is full of them once you start looking at the background instead of only farming waves.
THE DEPRESSED SUICIDAL FROG
There is depressed frog which jumps off the cliff each game:
TEAM OF FULL POOL PARTY SKINS SUMMONS THE RUBBER DUCK
If all members of your team have Pool Party skins then yellow rubber duck will appear on the river. This one is extremely rare to see in normal matchmaking unless you’re 5-stacking for fun.
HOWLING ABYSS EASTER EGGS
There are some hidden tricks mostly referred to poros. ARAM players know these well — but a lot of Summoner’s Rift only players have never seen them.
PORO EASTER EGGS
If you choose 
Braum and feed Poro with Poro-snax, a black mustache will appear on poro:
If you play Braum with a Dragon Slayer skin then a color of grown moustache would be orange:
If each player in the game feed single poro, it will explode, creating new poros:
SHOP EASTER EGGS
There are many phrases you can hear from Shopkeeper related to items you choose or champions you play. It’s one more tiny detail Riot uses to make each ARAM / Howling Abyss match feel like a curated event instead of just a fast brawl:
