Decoding the Mount Chiliad Mural

[Modified Soul]

 

thread started 26th of September!

 

its now 7th of November!

 

everyone is as close to finding a jet pack now as was when this thread started, in other words no where near!

 

what does that tell us....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

since the threads creation an extra glyph has been found, as minor as that is it is still more than what you are saying

 

Edit: 2 extra glyphs (the sand one included)

It took years to find easter eggs in some games, so it doesn't tell us anything except that it's hard to figure out if it's in the game.

Wasn't it 2010 when they found the bridge egg on GTA S.A.?

Ok, nothing about rainbows this time from me... but I'm still trying to think outside my little box.

Just munching on my salad and looking very hard at the mural with an open mind.

There's quite a bit about it which just isn't "right".

And I think it must be deliberate.

Some parts are 100% symmetrical and other parts are quite distinctly not. The three "lightning bolts" down the left and right next to the "mountain" are symmetrical. They're actually flipped on their y-axis and the Rockstar art guys have tried to disguise it slightly with a smudging tool - but they're the same. Look closely at the bottom one (left and right) and there's a tiny little "o" or blip which is on both. similar deal with the others.

However, the main other bolt is clearly a seperate piece of artwork both sides. It wouldn't line up properly.

The loose "ending lines" are worrying. They don't feel right at all to me.

Also, the oddness of the weird "boxed in" shapes which are formed on the left and right are so obviously there for a reason...

The glyphs are the X's in the boxes, fine. but what's the deal with all those straight lines and 90 degree angles and cul-de-sac lines?

The X on the right where it's connector line is at the bottom? that's just deliberate... by why?

The very bottom line which "connects" the "UFO" and the "jetpack"... that's a very specific line right there. There's no reason it should drop down, across, ANGLE down, then straight across again... unless it's relevant.

Also, look at where that central connecting line touches the top of the "egg" picture. It's not central. Why - in amongst all this symmetry and lack, thereof - is there such an obvious offset to what could be considered a central component of the mural?

My hunch from staring is that we're supposed to fold/flip/rotate the mural. I mean print the damn thing onto a bit of tracing paper or transparent overhead projector slide and start seeing how it looks and what comes up when it's folded and flipped around.

Those glyph positions on Chiliad match up with the mural, sure. But how big is that mountain? My reckoning is the mural only represents Chiliad because someone at Rockstar decided the mountain gave them enough space to put those glyphs pretty much anywhere. Think about it - there's no rhyme or reason in the position of those mountainside glyphs at all. They could've been any damn where.

That mural represents something else and I think it's not a stretch to imagine the lines are part of a road/rail/riverway network. However, it's unrecognisable until we do a spot of virtual origama on it.

My other thought, is those circular markings at the hippy camp which seem to repeat over and and over around the place (look a bit like small crop circles I guess) are instructions on how to do this. In fact, I think one of them is asking us to rotate by 270 degress and another is asking for us to fold it somewhere. not necessarily straight down the middle though, I think we need to slightly offset it.

May even need to cut it once, but in the absence of a nice sheet of transparency, I'm unable to do any rudimentary checking for the moment.

Random searching is brilliant, but it is a heck of a big space and we're only covering ground area from that. 3D space of the map is just way too huge - especially when combined with moon phasing etc.

Think on it - that top glyph isn't a UFO... the bottom left one is a UFO. The top glyph looks more like an eclipse to me. (No, not a mitsubishi). Or thinking on it again, maybe the sun going down on the horizon? e.g. the end of the main story mode on the west coast had a nice sunset.

Anyone on the same page as me on this, or have I been at the single malt again?

to anyone who want's to argue whether the JP is in the game or not, or whether theChiliad map has been solved.

 

If you think it's over then what are you doing here still?

 

you don't have to save us from our sins of continuing to look, so what are you doing here?

 

we don't need our own personal Jesus or saviors to come save us from the evil ways of looking for an easter egg.

 

NOBODY can prove either way if it's over or not, so trying to argue or "Prove" points to eachother over that is nonsense.

 

If you don't wan't to help or contribute and just lurk then fine but, nobody needs, want's or cares about someones opinion that everything has been found.

 

Move on with your lives if it's over, nothing to see here or continue to discuss about if that's your view, so...

It was a point on the red bridge accessible only by jetpack

It wasn't anything huge.

And then there was the bridge cable on the plaque

There is a coordinated search being conducted on here and reddit.

 

There are many many teardowns of the mural

Here's one I was working on.

Imma reread what you got and see if I can add it in on my hunts.

All this combined, is my whole point/answer to those whiners yelling everywhere that no jetpack, or other eggs, excist. Just because people are unable to find it in the games code, doesn't mean the whole world has to stop turning. Let people explore the hints given by the game creators.

 

thank you thats what i was saying the jet pack would be hidden

I've got another outlandish idea... Take Franklin to Mt Chiliad wearing his Children of the Mountain shirt at the same time as the UFO appears, take Michael to do yoga on the yoga mat on Mt Gordo wearing his Epsilon robes and then take a hitchhiker to or take over the Altruist Camp with Trevor while he's in his underpants. (Franklin paid tens of thousands for that shirt, surely it means something? Michael paid thousands for the robes and had to do pointless missions all for nothing if you didn't end up stealing the money from Epsilon. Plus Michael is the character most associated with yoga. Trevor has ties to the Altruists which aren't fully explained in the game aside from the fact that Trevor just likes to associate with weird people. If Trevor enters the camp as naked as possible then maybe that will mean something?)

[jamie2dog]

tried my theory mentioned the other day! and il keep trying it as it could be done in many ways! incase anyone missed it it was the different methods of leaving the 3 characters at diff locations! for some reason guys it just fits so damn much the links and locations with them! fits that much somethings gotta give eh? the right method and finding the right formula!

Franklin - linked with the hippys and ufo freaks around sandy shores

Michael - linked with aliens and especially linked with mt chilliad

trevor - linked with the aremy i.e fort zancudo


that speaks very loud volumes to me guys! not only that theres 3 airborne ufos!

so thats.. the 3 main characters, linked to the 3 places "mt ss and fz"
and yet funny enough there is 3 airborne ufos above these places!!!

i am almost convinced the puzzle is a placement of characters issue and maybe even time of day ect!

if you think of all this then it all links and has to be it!!! im convinced if its not then this is most leading to DLC

[Chernobyl_sunrise]

That bridge easter egg was found way back in 2006.

[HakatoX]

I think one of the four hikers needs to be given on a full moon... or other type of requirement

this can't be it. that has been know about since the first month of S.A. release.

 

EVERYONE i know knows about this and we havn't played S.A. for atleast 7-8 years

Is that possible? To make them stay at the place if you switch?

It would help if we can figure out one, like when you do something you get an text message or a sound so we know that we need to do something with all three.

I like what you're doing there mate.

That's got legs, I reckon.

I have that tingley hunch that once the thing is folded/flipped/rotated correctly (probably only 2-4 times) it will suddenly give us a eureka moment.

That's the only bridge easter egg I know in GTA SA.

[kama0kazi]

To the people talking about finding the jetpack in a certain mission, check this out from the first borderlands game: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_basement

 

I have been thinking about this for a while, actually.

[HakatoX]

That bridge easter egg was found way back in 2006.

okay..

TWO years after the game..

something in S.A. was found in 2010.

Know what it is?

 

 

 

 

thanks for the help

[BadDiet2]

If you leave the characters standing in one spot they'll usually stay there for about 5 minutes. I suppose you'd just have to keep switching between them

[HakatoX]

plz stop with the huge f*cking quotes?

have some consideration for those who may get lost in the flood.

its just too much of a deep connection to not be it! the links are far too strong to just be a coincidence!

[Meukay]

walk with one the three chars to a certain spot - don't drive/fly or whatever

so that their not associated with some vehicle.

then keep switching every three mins so they will stay at the spot you left them at.

this works for all 3chars.

And even if they leave the spot - they don't get far with this method because they only walk away and don't drive or fly away

Hmm, I'm thinking about that mission that you do with Trevor, where you need to still a plane from Fort Zancudo, maybe that's the chance?

Yeah, usually you get some sort of reward for doing the obscure missions like what Franklin and Michael had to do with the cults however Franklin doesn't really get anything for spending so much money on a weird looking T-Shirt. I also think that a lot of people on these forums tend to forget Franklin's association with Children of the Mountain

just go back a couple of pages it's not hard it's more confusing when you don't have large quotes how about stop bitching

not bitching.

Be reasonable......

I seen it happen to you too.

Ppl fast scroll past the wall of quotes..

Ppl get passed over.

 

 

you see how I handled your quote?

You know what I am talking about.....

map triggers don't go off unless certain events are met, therefore glitching through stuff would never get you anywhere if its "instanced" in a different environment, for all we know there is a whole interior to Mt. Chilliad you just probly have to load into it and not glitch through the textures in the sandbox
