The Infinite 8 mystery

Great find on the bin at the Dignity Village! I've confirmed this myself and added it to the main post. Thanks! It really fills in a missing piece of the puzzle.

Love all the conspiracy theorists trying to make this about UFO's lol. It's a murder mystery Easter egg, that is all.

 

Now, as a small insight from me... I don't think Merle intended to stop at 8. I think the 8 became an infinity the moment he realized his thirst was not quenched at 8. But he still made sure the original 8 had their own tribute. This would mark the moment Merle wrote "8 is just infinity stood up".

Okay I'm going to throw a curve ball in this thread.

The first time I saw the "There will be 8", saying in game I thought it was referring to how many GTA's were planned for development. Especially because it has the 4 marks with a line through it to indicate 5 below the saying. I thought the 5 mark was indicating we are in GTA V now.

 

You may now return to your regularly scheduled discussion of the mystery. :pp

I am more confused with the outcome of this mystery.

 

What exactly this will reward us once solved?

 

An answer as to what happend to Merle and what the Infinite 8 were/are. This has captivated me a hell of a lot more than the mural on Chiliad. Utter kudos to Rockstar for the LA Noire/Black Dahlia style mystery they created here!

 

Okay first off.

Every number other then 8 described a ending in a sense

Then why are their 8 bodies? If 8 won't wait?

Why bother with the number 8 all the time and end up only doing half the of the number 8 when he was locked up in prison?

And if the person who was living next door to write that on his wall.. Wouldn't he be dead as well?

'8 is infinity stood up' had nothing to do with an ouroborous.. the mathematical sign for infinity is actually a figure of eight on its side, that's what it means.

The Ouroboros can be depicted as a looping sideways 8 figure.

I don't think this mystery has got anything to do with UFO's/aliens/extraterrestial lifeforms/altruists/the three protagonists/mt chiliad/other easter eggs in which some see a connection to this one!

 

Stick to the topic people!

I saw a video on YT where a guy claimed to have solved said mystery. When he's at Merle's house he points out a pair of running shoes hanging up, and says Merle must've kept these as a souvenir...well I've spotted a very similar pair hanging up at the place where someone is growing weed. Plus, I got a taxi there, and whilst I was looking around this taxi came back, smashed up and driving around, but with no driver...for ages too it was going nuts. Also, "four called mum" who is mum?? This mystery far from solved me thinks...

If you think about it the island where the bodies are.There are several things you can notice!!! 1. The Islands look like an angel 2. If you real carefully as one of the waves are crashing in the angel shaped islands, there is an angel!!!!! Maybe the angels are the victims of infinite 8.

This mystery sounds a bit like Charles mansons cult, look it up on google

No way!!!!

 

Charles Manson and his "family"

Were mostly known for killing Sharon Tate (who was pregnant) at the Polanski home after thinking the home was still in possession of Brian Wilson of the Beach boys.

Charles was wanting revenge for a song of his that was "stolen" (IIRC) Charles and crew lived on that very property a few months previous due to a barter agreement.

 

The "sisters" were/are a whole other story

They were "political advocates" as they would put it. One was even arrested for an assassination plot and attempt.

 

This killer is more like a reverse Green River Killer

He was known for having mass graves along the coast of OR and WA. He was and also still is suspected of murders and graves as far south the I-5 line as San Diego.

 

Only difference here is Merle targeted young men jogging and GRK was known for hunting women.

 

Some people may think Zodiac (In some ways I do agree) but zodiac never really handled a body. He would always leave them where they died and it was usually couples... In the early parts of the Uni-Bomber trial ppl tried to tie the two together because Uni was a mathematician at Berkley university and the ciphers Zodiac left were never completely solved and people speculated it had come from a math genius of unknown merit when the ciphers were being decoded.

The girl that got murdered was Elizabeth short (in real life) but the crimes still unsolved I think

Yeah that's who "Lenora Johnson" and the letter scraps were modeled after.

ummm yep i know that this infinite 8 killer already solved. but i'm just asking this..

 

have you all seen an 8 symbol written in red at hobo camp? i can't provide you with a screen but you can find it inside a camp, it written on a drum near the scrap letter location..

 

ive read this thread but nobody mentioned this yet...

anyway it already solved right so it's doesn't really matter.. haha. peace

yeah...

cause you know for a fact.

Hunting a serial killer has been a part of GTA for a while....

 

ever hear of the Green River Killer?

He dumped in groups...

Suspected of unsolved murders in San Diego.

Murdered clear across the west coast and then some.

This killer was not modeled after Zodiac who killed couples and left them where they died

Lover's Peak Vallejo.

check into it.

 

 

He is not exactly synonymous with the Green River Killer OR the Zodiac. He is a pastiche of several serial killers, not one in particular.

 

The cryptic clues/messages is what makes him similar to Zodiac, and also that this is set in California. His motivations for killing seems to be to gain some kind of mystic power, much like the Zodiac (who said that if you killed people they were your slaves in the afterlife). GRK was mosty in Portland and Washington, but you are right that him dumping them in groups is similar to the Infinity Killer.

The murderer of the ghost of Mount Gordo is Jock Cranley, the guy running for governor and the guy the Vinewood Souvenirs people mistake Trevor for. Jock Cranley pushed his wife Jolene off the cliff but claimed it was an accident. It doesn't have anything to do with the other two murderers in the game.

I don't know if this was already mentionned or not, but did anyone else go to the top of Mount Chiliad and look under that one wooden platform or deck or whatever it is? It should be the one that has a slanted table on it with information on the mountain or something like that. I think there is two of these platforms on top of the mountain, but the one I'm talking about is the one that is on the highest part of that whole outlook and it just northeast of the cable cars. Like I was saying, I think it has something that is quite unusual and I think it has something to do with this whole infinite 8 mystery.

 

Here's how to find what I'm talking about:

If you go to the right platform/deck thing, and you look under it where it sits on the mountain...you can see red paint and the paint says something. I personally can't make out what it says. There is also some shapes under there too. By the way on that same platform, if you go to it and get behind the platform so you're facing south, it says something about 100% completion of the game and that something will unlock when you complete 100%.

 

Everyone should definitely check it out, as it has some cool info and might be related to this whole mystery in the game.

You really missed something man! Find out all about UFO's and aliens somewhere else, but this Easter egg has got NOTHING to do with the mt Chiliad conspiracy theories.

GRK is still under investigation for killings in San Diego.

I agree about it being a mashup.

Zodiac left ciphers though and had to be decrypted.

IIRC some of them werent figured out at all.

 

But Manson is not in the mashup (IMO)

Has anyone seen the arrow just up and to the right of one of the below carvings on the rocks?

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/snapmatic/myphotos/photo/1e0QLVZlD0aOwp5IWrq0iQ

 

The arrow:

http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/snapmatic/myphotos/photo/3dBcsJghGkeqSOj8TcqBgA

 

It seems to be pointing in the general direction of the water cave. I have tried searching along that course but couldnt find anything. Perhaps it isnt an arrow but the North compass arrow.

It seems weird though that its right near the quote that states "even though i shall leave them sign enough where they put me"

look in the direction of the arrow and use a string to ensure a straight lne to mark on the map.

I think the 8 th person could be himself. For example towards the end it says "8 must" there's no wait. This makes me think he was caught by the police half way thro saying he must wait. Any one else agree?

Maybe this website I found on the GTA 5 internet will help. My friend's hand writing is quite bad when he wrote it down, so this is what I think the website's url is:

 

altruistinite.com

 

or

 

altruistenite.com

 

Or replace the last "t" with a "L"(lowercase) on either URL's if they don't work.

 

The website is really wierd and has stars as the background. There is no text on the page there is just some wierd slashes and dotts that look something like this:

/.. ..--.. ... . .. ./ / . . ./ ... / .

 

^ I made that up but that is what i think it sort of looks like all over the page. It is also in pharagraphs.

 

I'm hoping someone can go on their phone and go on the internet and translate this website, it could solve some questions and give some answers. I'm thinking it's morsecode but I don't know.

That site has NOTHING to do with the infinite 8 killer.....

A simple search and you will be able to find the translation
