    In locust queen palace level, after going doen the lift with Cole, Dom and Baird, get to the part with the long stairs. before you go down the stairs, there is a long flat patio-type place. On this patio there is a small rock carving with a symbol on it: shoot it. the rock should break open revealing a toaster, press the button. After a minute smoke comes out and the toaster pops. Marcus then says "Who wants toast!" Dom replies "I like 'em crispy!"

  • Toast Easter Egg

    In Act 4, The Hive, chapter 5, "The Best-Laid Plans" after rejoining with Dom (or Marcus if co-op) walk all the way down the hallway where the Locust ammo boxes are. There is a pedestal in the center along the wall. Shoot it with a weapon and press X to reveal the easter egg.

Skip the dialog by pressing the Back button. The first hat is on the side of the building behind and to the right of the rig. The second hat is between the front and back wheels of a tank to the left of the rig. The third had is behind the second large gas tank, next to the tank with the previous hat.
