Cosmic Egg

Cosmic Egg is a key item in Strange Journey.

History
Also known as a world egg, it is a egg found in myths throughout the world. It is usually the beginning in some form and from it hatches a primordial deity. The earliest records of one such egg is the Brahmanda from Hinduism. The Greeks had their own Cosmic Egg called the Orphic Egg, which was warmed by a snake until the first Deity called Protogonus hatched from it.

The idea of a cosmic egg was brought up by science in the 1930s, where the universe was believed to have originated from a gravitational singularity and expanded via a big bang to become the expanding universe.

The Cosmic Egg is a key item needed in all routes near the end of the game. Mem Aleph reveals that she created the eggs and gave them to the Four Kings who were invading the earth.

In the Neutral Path Arthur comes up with a plan to empower a Nuke with the Cosmic Eggs, which would have enough power to destroy the Schwarzwelt for good.
