The Last of Us Hidden Game Scene Came to Life in Episode 4
The Last of Us easter eggs are getting better and better. Episode 4 references a very missable cutscene in the game. Have you noticed that?
It doesn't really matter if you are familiar with The Last of Us through the original games or the HBO hit. Because this Episode 4 scene can come as an emotional surprise to both.
It's a nice nod to the game, but it's also one of the most missable bits of The Last of Us Part II.

The scene in question shows Ellie singing and playing the 80s hit Take on Me with Dina by her side. It's really one of those beautifully acted and meaningful scenes. After all, Joel was the one who taught Ellie how to play the guitar.
If you don't remember this scene in the game, this is because it's not part of the main quest in The Last of Us Part II. It's optional and highly overlooked.
For players who want to experience this touching moment firsthand, you'll need to make your way to the Vanity Music Store during Seattle Day 1, go up to the second floor and find the guitar.
Isabela Merced Explained the Importance of Take On Me Scene
During her recent talk with GQ, Merced perfectly described the importance of the scene:
“And that's why it's so emotional. It's a moment of beautiful grief, happy grief, that is so delicate and fragile, and expressed so beautifully through music, and music is such a big component of the game. That song will never be the same. I will never hear it and not think of [Dina and Ellie].”
What Do The Last of Us Fans Think About the Take On Me Scene?
“[It's] one of my favorite scenes in the game. Couldn’t be more pleased with the show adaptation of it,” Redditor GondorNeedsNoPants wrote.
“Bella nailed “Take On Me” just like Ashley did. I can't believe that part was optional in the game and some people could actually miss it,” Redditor valarpizzaeris shared.
“I knew Bella Ramsey was a great actor of course but had no idea they were also musically talented. I loved the Take on Me scene. That was so beautiful,” Redditor Bento_Fox said.
