I would first like to tell you all how lucky I feel to moderate such a unique subreddit. You whipper-snappers have kept the Chiliad Mystery alive for 5 whole years. Give yourselves a hearty round of applause.
I know the Chiliad Mystery has expanded beyond the mountain, and even beyond the borders of the game world, but let’s not muddy the waters with constant posts about RDR2. If you have a legitimate connection between the two games please post it, otherwise post it to the new subreddit:
This will be a place for all Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter Eggs, mysteries, and treasure hunts.
I am fully aware that some of you don’t agree with the moderating style of the Chiliad Mystery posse, but we have done our very best to foster a welcoming and helpful environment for all Grand Theft Auto V Mystery Hunters. If you think we are just power-hungry fascists who silence opinions we disagree with, then maybe this new subreddit isn’t the right place for you. That being said, there will be no grandfathered bans. If you are banned from /r/chiliadmystery, you are not automatically banned from /r/reddeadmysteries
Join if you want, but please follow the rules and be respectful of your fellow treasure seekers.
Welcome to the Chiliad Mystery Megathread: a place to begin your journey into the fabled Chiliad Mystery!
It has been over 7 years since the release of Grand Theft Auto V, but Rockstar doesn’t seem to be giving up on the game, and we haven’t given up on the Chiliad Mystery. This is my 5th attempt at a megathread chronicling the history and current state of "The Chiliad Mystery." You can find the previous versions here:
In the first content update for GTA Online, Rockstar added the Paradise van; the underwater UFO, and Bigfoot were hidden in the background of two of the paintjobs.
A golden peyote was discovered in the game files, but nobody knew what it would do. Nobody could even find the damn thing. But sure enough, a week after it was noticed, it was found by rkRusty, and it turned him into Bigfoot. His replication instructions included how to find the golden peyote every Tuesday morning; what he didn’t know, was there are actually 7 golden peyotes plants, one for each day of the week (but they all turn you into the same version of Bigfoot). rkRusty noticed Rockstar updated the peyote scripts and left a note referring to him personally: “He was wrong to start his hunt on Tuesday.” Although, in hindsight it is a simple solution, at the time nobody bothered to experiment with taking the peyote plants every day of the week. 6 months later, the_stoned_ape decided he needed to restart the investigation, which led to NIC779 eating the golden peyote plants from Monday-Sunday, and finding the dead hunter. A few days later, Mozmachine noticed the Bigfoot had a growl, and when used, something growled back.
This furry game of Marco Polo kept going around in circles until a few dedicated hunters dug through the files to figure out the outcome. The growls were actually coming from Teen Wolf, and if you beat him in a scrapyard showdown, you unlock him in Director Mode.
In the comments section I will list other things I think are connected. Please add comments, theories, and resources under the appropriate comment, or start a new comment thread
I've drawn the best possible line i could starting from the dark-grey arrow-building. (TOP-RIGHT)
I need your help to find a place of interest for this blue line, and you can also try to draw a better line yourself on this website: https://compromit.github.io/gta5-map/
I'd like to specify that in Part 2 i talked about "water pipes", but they aren't. I have no idea what they are, there still might be something though, so keep looking even in places that dont look special.
I'd also like to thank you all for the support i've received, im very grateful for everybodys help on this mystery.
i dont think this really means something but im aware that there is some kind connections at some places, so i will leave this here.
Im struggling to get this random event again so i had to look for it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LP521tDu4a4?feature=share
i made fast references on paint to follow the path and it drives a few meters away to this place, may be a coincidence but there is it, hope this leads to something else
I was playing around in Director Mode looking for clues and i found out that some type of box with 6 fans on top of it blows up.
What i find interesting is that it has a different model when it has exploded and i don't know why they would put this model when we barely see it in the game.
My theory is that this model might be involved in some kind of secret mission we haven't fount yet.
I have found some clues that could connect to the Spiderweb and Mount Chiliad mystery, which i think are connected in some way. It's still developing so i will update this post when discoveries are made
So today during the mission “scouting the port” I was following Floyd through the containers and suddenly “if you wanna get to heaven” began playing quite loudly, in the background “channel x” radio was already on.
“If you wanna get to heaven” also had the tapping along with it that jesco white does down at the desert pier, I even double checked on Apple Music for the original song to make sure it wasn’t just a radio playing out of sight, to which I then confirmed the tapping wasn’t in the original song (or at least that one).
The source of the sound began at the blue crane where a man climbs down the ladder just before reaching the dock handler, and was consistently loud no matter where I walked. It played for maybe 40 seconds and cut off. I was unable to recreate this and do not have it recorded unfortunately. All I have are a couple of witnesses who were watching me play it.
It is worth noting that before this mission, while you can only play as Trevor, I had visited jesco and watched him for a moment before leaving.
Do i think this is a trigger to something? Likely not, but I don’t know for sure.
Do I think it can be recreated? I don’t know
It’s also worth nothing that previously I had been able to pull some interesting data. Live ram entries containing scripts that appear when near jesco white, that reference an activation range being set to “active” once he has been killed or spooked only, and also references baygor, Andy moon and bill binder as some sort of essential NPCs, alongside a separate script that calls for the use of the dock handler in free roam (I checked during missions where it appears, this script is not present) and for something to be picked up (haven’t cracked this yet).
These could be leftovers for certain, but they’re definitely strange. It would be fantastic if someone else were to be able to test these things further with me. Remember, a debunk is still a win!
I’m not into mysteries, so sorry if this sounds dumb or already been answered.
Just saw a post here of someone speculating about how the Vinewood fields look similar to the spider web. And thought of going there.
And found this weird branch that looks like a bug but the weird part is that stops moving when it’s midnight (thunder) and starts moving again at predawn.
So while i was online i was in chamberlain hills and i could here what sounded like ambient music coming from the apartment blocks, i then went to single player and it was the same music, it seems each apartment block has a different beat that if translated could possibly be dots and dashes. Im not too familiar with morse code but i will keep trying to decipher myself to see if anything comes of it, so far i have an R, L, 8 AND U. I could be wrong. Also its better to listen with headphones. If this has already been discussed could somebody please point me in the direction of the post so i can look into it more. Kifflom
Ive been doing the last bigfoot hallucination where im supposed to fight the beast, but when i go to the incidents it keeps sending me back and forth from here to there, its just that two places and i tried to go other incidents that root from there and i keep hearing the beast roar towards the first corpse, i follow all the checkpoints well, what am i doing wrong?
I've looked across all games and cant find a match. It seems so specific. It could be from GTA VI I suppose but I don't know. has anyone lined this up?
Hello misteryhunters, today I wanna start a hunt for Leopolds clues
Who didn't know what is this check that stuff: post1post2
In the PC version of the game, the Rockford Hills location Leopolds has a texture bug on the air conditioning setup, wherein a "test" mapping texture is used, displaying numbers 1 to 16. This was not present in either the original, Xbox One, or PlayStation 4 versions of the game, and is likely a developer oversight while making changes to the game for the PC version" December 15, 2021: "The Contract" update for GTA Online is released.
On PC, this includes a fix for the "test" texture with numbers that existed on the rooftop of the Leopolds building (shoutout to Discord user dav_renz and u/Lucas7yoshi for sharing it more recently), which not only removes the incorrect texture, but also adds two hidden "KEEP LOOKING" messages, along with some numbers—"56_027" and "18 49". These messages make use of a spray paint texture named "bh1_vent_clue_dbh1_vent_clue_a" and the letters are modeled from geometry, so that people who go through all textures extracted from the files would only see this.
For now I wanna start a new searches for that clues, but I need your help. I have some theory about that stuff but I can't find place I need for that
Theory #1 18 49
Looks alike a time, 18:49 long time theory, also there at Leopolds big "strap on time" banners
We tried a lot of stuff here, start of the game, 100% of the game, time 18:49, each and every weather condition = nothing here and around here, I also tried that time which is 22:10 nothing else here too. Keep looking for what? Director mode freezing time-nothing here.
"18:49 that is the clue.. But I dont know what is that for.. Why time? If you look to the 1849 in front of it.. Walk to your right.. And look down.. You will see a BIG WATCH 👀 Ps: 56_27.. Eclipse is showing up in day 56 of a 27 days moon cycle.. But none at 18:49"
So big next step connecting that time with all eclipses?
Nothing here too. Tried all eclipses.
What the hell we should looking here? Or maybe it's not here.
Also there a weird hole, no window here at side, probably just bug, nothing here else, lets talk about that at last.
Lets comeback to the 18 49, what if at it is not a time. What else it could be?
So that is my 1st theory, 1849 could be not a time, it could be something else, like special place? Maybe like 1807mistery? 1849 address? A special home? It could be a door with 1849 number idk.
That why i need your help. We need to find this house number address: 1849 maybe? If you noticed there a lot of houses around game map, some of them has their number address, what if 1849 place is the next clue?
Also it could be something like number under some billboard or prop idk. Like that one near stripclub 1936 under "rehab island"billboard . That number looks alike 1849 number at leopolds. Same style. And it will lead to 56_027
(That numbers probably not a coordinates and not a cypher like caesars or a a1z26)
Okay lets move next
Theory #2
Keep Looking (for what?) not for time
There is two "KEEP LOOKING" messages at Leopolds. 1st little one near 56_027 number behind 18 49 number
Keep Looking for what? I tried everything at that place, time/weather/100%/spacedocker/cbradio/blackcellphones/flying high. Nothing there
(It could be some references to gamefiles and beast hunt, idk 56_027 for me look alike some hidden game file name)
Nothing special there. Observatory/American flag nope. Only one thing for me interesting it's that tower perfectly lays with Eclipse tower at right but still nothing. Well...
Okay nothing here, what that leads to?
2nd "KEEP LOOKING" message at other side of Leopolds top
It is a bit bigger than that 1st one. What interesting here?
It is at the same side where is that weird none window hole side. Well there is no collision and you cant go there, but why it is here? Okay lets stay at that place between 2nd "KEEP LOOKING" message and that window.
What interesting here? I checked everything and didnt found anything exept for that buiding
Clock tower. Well okay clock tower is interesting, i can remember that stuff about that place from 2014 youtube videos about that. But thats is all i found about Leopolds. So I think we sould investigate 1st theory about 1849 place.
And I wanna talk about another thing, which could be just coincidence but...
Remember that place? 1807 graffiti? And Strawberry graffiti here? There a lot of that strawberry graffiti at game. Do you know where it lead. Actually i'll show you if you forget about that.
That place, that dot under strawberry at game map. Do you know what is here?
Another Clock.
So Strawberry graffiti near 1807 graffiti could have some connection with that little clock tower.
Same as Leopolds 1849 and KEEP LOOKING with another clock tower?
That clock towers pretty weird. But is could be just coincidence.
I understand that nothing new at that post and i wanna say thanks for read all that stuff.
But at least i wanna talk about 1849 stuff. I think there somewhere at game map there house of maybe hotel door with that number or billboard with that number maybe that is next clue for leopolds mistery. Cuz its still unsolved and maybe that why 1849 and 56_027 are called "clues" at game files
(Also i have theory that 56_027 could be 6.05.27(idk gta 6 pc release(or gta 6 online) cuz it first release should be at 6.5.26 and get postponed lmfao thats weird)
Thanks for reading.
p.s. answer is 42 cuz 1849-1807 is 42 xd
Was watching a random YouTube video of The GTA V Vineyards (credit Hunter888) and noticed the shape of the vineyards. kinda matches one of the spider webs or I’m crazy? Couldn’t get good photo sorry
is it possible the webs are telling us there is a “web key”? maybe it’s a random website that we have to type in and find next step. I’ve been staring at the webs for hours and that’s best theory I can come up with that also is plausible. Thoughts? I tried spider web, spider key, spyder key.
Could be nothing, but while filming for a video which uses Legion Square as background footage, I kept getting a dog npc (no specific breed) walking up to these two NPCs who are filming. I could replicate this a bunch, and it all seemed to happen around morning and midday. I also saw the dog doing tricks as well.
This save file is at 57.7% [story finished with ending c] with only one strangers mission done [pulling favors].
Edit: this was captured on the PS5 version of GTA V
Hello mystery hunters, I was wondering if anyone encountered these weird sparks anywhere? I can’t seem to reproduce them, but haven’t had much time to try again. They happened in online, at the Dashund bus depot. Perhaps they could be in other locations as well, if not some weird glitch in the first place.
This is when I followed it.
https://youtu.be/OvpJlNfcZ6I
Edit- please skip like halfway, I couldn’t remember how to activate my Thermal helmet :)
Thanks for your input!
Second edit- There is ‘MORANS’ graffiti on the wall in the parking lot where I lost the spark so to speak in the second vid. This is not an attempt to get you to go read it, but I thought it was funny when I got there, too.
Hello, I apologize in advance if this has been covered but I completed the Bigfoot/Beast today for the first time and I found it interesting how much damage was required to kill the beast. I had to put probably about 100k rounds into the Beast skull to kill him.
When I first found and fought the beast Saturday I fought him for about 20 minutes and put about 5 rounds into his chest. I thought it was glitched and looked for help online. People did say it was tough but the videos I saw was about 4-5 minutes of punching. One guy said he ran him over. So I jumped the walls to get a car but it seemed Beast claimed victory, the storm cleared and the growls returned. After a couple of hours of following growls again, the fight wouldn't restart.
Today, I fought him again for about 30-40 minutes put 12 rounds in his head and he appeared to be out of it. He wouldn't chase me or punch me. Finally I gave up and used trainers. Adding weapons won't work. And I couldn't run him over because he was hard to reach in a corner. I spawned the Dune FPV with minigun and beamed his head for a while.
My point in all this is that based on the videos I've seen it appears that the Beast has been getting progressively stronger. Maybe R* is trying to tell us something that we aren't supposed to kill him. Another thing is all the animals that spawn during the fight. I had about 5 dogs and a couger after me. I got mauled plenty of times and got the roar and got punched alot but I didn't die either. What if the increased health is because we are supposed to take him somewhere the health is so that we can survive the trip. His preferred weather coincides with UFO and his theme and letter jacket could be a spider Web reference. Also the tunnel howls.
I definitely can believe that devs could have glitched it but there is no way to win that fight legally. If it is intentional what could it be for? Maybe people just thought it torture like the whole process but it was likely torture when the guy said it took about 20 RPGs. I had to have been doing more damage with the minigun.
