Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Secrets and Easter Eggs (PS2)

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (Japanese title Anubis: Zone of the Enders) is a video game that was developed and published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 in 2003. The sequel to Zone of the Enders, the game was produced by and is closely associated with Hideo Kojima. The game is based around mecha combat. All mecha were designed by Yoji Shinkawa, the character and mechanical designer for the Metal Gear Solid series. The sequel picks up where the last game left off. The controls and graphics are improved to enhance the gameplay.

Although instead of going city to city like the first installment, the sequel is divided into sections, one after each boss. A variety of weapons, enemies and boss battles have been added to the game. The "Special Edition" PAL and NTSC-J versions of the game featured a variety of additions and extras to the game, including new VR Training options, added scenarios, more difficulties, a music video featuring a remixed "Beyond the Bounds" theme, improved anti-aliasing and graphical optimizations, new Orbital Frames for Versus Mode, among other improvements to the game.

Easter Eggs

Alternate costume for Ken
After you get the WISP subweapon, grab Ardjet and take it down to the lava until Ken says something. Do this several times. Once you beat the current mission, Ken will have a new costume in the next anime cutscene.

Move camera in smaller cutscenes
Whenever you see two people (EX: Ken and Dingo) during a cutscene (not the anime ones) you can move the camera with the right control stick. To move the other camera, hit R2. The left control stick moves the camera.
