Nessie in Apex Legends
The Loch Ness Monster plush hidden across the Apex maps: how the giant Nessie easter egg on Kings Canyon works, where else Nessies turn up, and how Wattson places her own.
The giant Nessie easter egg
Ten Nessie plushies are hidden across Kings Canyon. Shoot one and the kill feed shows “A Nessy Appears...”. Shoot all ten in the right order and a giant Nessie surfaces briefly in Swamps, with “A Nessy Surfaces!”.
It works on four versions of the map, Preseason, Season 1, Season 8 and Season 14, and the plushies sit in different places on each. Nessies on other maps don't trigger anything when shot.
Where else to find Nessies
| Where | What's there |
|---|---|
| Firing Range | Several, including one hidden out of bounds inside a rock. |
| World's Edge | One inside Big Maude. |
| Olympus | Several. |
| Storm Point | One on the map, and several inside Wattson's Pylon from Town Takeover. One of those can be carried, and winning a match with it triggers an easter egg. |
| Overflow | One. |
| Broken Moon | Four. |
| Lobby backgrounds | One each in the Season 5, 6, 11 and 15 main lobbies. |
This list is the wiki's, last updated in November 2023, so maps added since then, like E-District, aren't covered.
Wattson and Nessie
Wattson's Easter Egg emote drops a Nessie on the ground that every player can see. Up to 20 can exist in a match; the 21st replaces the oldest.
Her Energy Reader heirloom is full of them: one inspect has her feeding a Tamagotchi-style Nessie on its screen, another has a Nessie plush pop up to be thrown and hugged, and one draw animation pulls out a Nessie before the Energy Reader. Weapon charms and holosprays have shipped dozens of Nessie variants since Season 3.
