Dere Quest 2 is an “easter egg” game that can be discovered when a player wins Derenoid. When a player clears all of the bricks in the level, they will see a special message form Yanna, containing a URL and the words, “I knew you were going to beat it.” The URL leads to an online PNG file, which shows yet another URL and a message:

"Prototype for Dere Quest 2 Please handle with care, darius. We do not want the same thing to happen again."

This second URL leads to a DropBox folder that can be downloaded. The folder contains the game files for Dere Quest 2.

The game features Knightly in a three-dimensional space. The controls are limited to movement and rotating the camera 90 degrees around Knightly. The entire map is contained in a 64x64 square of tiles, decorated with trees, flowers, and other plants. The game’s files show that the graphical assets come from a Halloween-themed tile set.

The player can also access a menu by hitting the Esc key. The features in this menu are very similar to what is found in pixel JRPGs, although like the rest of the game it seems to have little content. The menu is as follows:

• Inventory: “All,” “Consumables,” “Ingredient,” “Key items,” “Weapons,” “Armors”
• ...all empty 
• Skills: Character’s name is labeled “Lucas,” and he has one skill, “Blazing sword”.
• Equip: Nothing equipped on either hand, head, chest, arms, legs, or as accessories. Current stats are 20 HP; 10 MP; 10 TP; 1 each for Attack, Magic, Strength, Intelligence, P. Defense, M. Defense, and Agility; and finally, zero “CC.” There is an option to remove what’s equipped, but there’s nothing to remove.
• State: Lucas is a Lv.1 Knight. His stats are shown here also, and they are all the same as listed in Equip.
• Order: Probably to change the marching order, but Lucas is the only one in the party.
• Save: Can save the game in one of four slots.
• Quit: This shuts down the game entirely.

Apart from the general features of the map and menu, Dere Quest 2 “hides” another URL by arranging plant and color tiles to spell out letters and numbers. This URL leads to a DevBlog page on the official AppSir, Inc. website not linked to any other part of the site. The page includes several secrets, including a link to a “dev diary” revealing Darius’ hopes and frustrations with the development of DERE.EXE and DERE EVIL.EXE, a link to a DropBox folder containing the files of another easter egg game (Sorority Rites House Tour Prototype), and a link to PROTO DERE.

The map is also littered with faint decoration tiles. One user, Baron Dipitous, believed these faint tiles created a pattern, so they mapped out all the different types of tiles on the map. However, no secret or reference has been discovered to date from this approach.
