The GTA V Secrets and Mysteries Hunt

[crispyominus]

@Slate: its cool! It just had me searching like a mad man for info with no results other than mods.

The reason I ask about Niko is because he is mentioned various times (in SP and MP) and if I remember correctly, he once mentioned he wanted to be an astronaut.

 

So where exactly in this video is niko mentioned?

Goodbye and big thanks to The Benz R* north legend

@crispy:

In the beginning (threaten deportation). You need to remember that she was involved with Niko in IV.

Also, look at the first room they find. Notice the three signs. Look at what the top middle monkey is doing.

It looks like the three boxes at the MC mural. Are they talking about Niko in the second room?

I feel the need to go through the files and tag the "EMP drop" text here, accordingly. So as to have full diclosure on this subject.

 

Anyone try to Anagram the files, one by one? Segregate & Rearrange style?

[Slate Mc 2]

I seriously doubt it means EMP DROP and lets face it - even EMPORER sounds so wrong. So many people trying to convince themselves EMPORER means Black or Black Ops. The cell phone thing is a great discovery - most likely cut content - but does not seem to be Mystery relavanrt in the slightest. Still - I love the fact people are still searching the files and discovering this kind of thing. That's why I stick around. I always said from the beginning that If there IS a mystery - and its a big IF as we invented it and NOT R* - then it would be solvable on PS3 and Xbox. The simplest explanation which no nobody wants to except is the fact that R* tried to create a Mystery and failed. That the glyphs were simply a design for the "average" gamer to locate the Chilliad UFO. Later ..after all the Mystery hype they likely sat down and thought "Ok the fans want a mystery" and they gave us that sh*tty Michael DLC searching for new clues which eventually unveiled what ? A new filter on your phone so you can see in sepia. Now they don't seem interested in SP DLC at all. I personally think its all over. but I just check these forums to see what other cool stuff you guys find. I can't even remember the last time someone even mentioned a Jet pack lol. (Which is good)

IIRC,an EMP is not typically "dropped", it is a device that has to be launched to a certain altitude to get the desired effect.

 

I could be wrong, it's been a while since I looked into it. I'll have to check again...

 

EDIT - Nevermind, I was wrong... That is just one type of EMP.

No you can drop an EMP anywhere. When I was in the army we used to carry EMP backpacks And that was only in Northern Ireland. Set it off, no noise no blast - but every single thing (cash machines, cars etc) in the radius would be neutralised for at least 30 seconds - if it functions using silicon chips. Usually a minute or so by the time they rebooted (and I am going back atleast 15 years now). Most vehicles have electronic management systems now so easy prey for even a short zone EMP. It was cool that R* utilised a large EMP in that heist, as thats pretty much what the army would do.This stuff is not Sci-Fi trust me. (If you have played that Humane Labs heist that is the reason why you had to fly to such an altitude to trigger the parachute jump - so the chopper itself was not affected by the EMP.) (The EMP was already in the garage below hidden inside the back of an Insurgent from an earlier set up mission)

What do you guys think the point of Rockstar throwing things in the game like.....

 

@soulshroude

Do you believe that the game is showing us repeated and related esoteric Masonic images...or

 

..I'll just ask that for now.

[ShiningLight]

Maybe we are creating the next installment's mystery..

Never realised you were in the army slate I was based over in omagh for 2 years. Beautiful place with some lovely pubs haha not that we were allowed in many of them right enough.

 

 

And just another thought but it seems to be turning obvious that phones/drones have some sort of part to play in this game.

 

Wether it be mystery related or not though only time will tell.

 

I like the thought of us making our own little movie out of the heists like someone posted the other day as we are in "Hollywood" after all.

That was after my time bro I suspect I saw Northern Ireland and LOTS of Germany lol. Did you utilise the EMP's in Omagh too ? And yes I agree a beautiful place mate. Ireland despite my good and bad memories will always has a special place in my heart. This is why I get annoyed at myself when people keep using the word EMP for the new black cell phone dscovery ! Most people didnt even know what an EMP even was until that heist - so they assume its somehow a Rockstar thing. They see what they want to see.

We were not lucky enough to get to get the use of things like that unfortunately, my time seemed to consist of riot training, QRF and patrolling to the ends of the earth it seemed sometimes lol but I loved the experience nonetheless. Best days of my young life

[auntjeff]

Maybe after bong hits I will approach this differently. I know we can touch on some of this stuff without fighting about who's gone crazy or who hasn't....look how long some of us have been in this odd forum relationship..we can talk about anything here. Lol.

This is a good question. But as you will suspect, I might not be able to go into great detail over this as it would be considered... conjecture. Only because, unless one is taught what each symbol actually represents and its formal meaning, then can that single person understand why it is used through practical application or Exoteric, such as through video games. Notwithstanding, that Lodge application is Esoteric... in and of itself.

 

My personal opinion on the Masonic imagery? Maybe one or more of the creators, devs that work for R* are Masonic. That they have these symbols to give the game a simple fingerprint. To acknowledge that presence.

 

A few of you may turn to the controversies of conspiracy and think the symbols are put in for the purpose of conniving, malice, spite or to make one wonder what is really behind the scenes and who is actually watching all of us. But I digress... I can go into great detail revealing many things conspiracy wise, but I will not as this isn't exactly the thread for that.

 

As far as the Masonic Symbolism in THIS GAME. The All Seeing Eye is simply the Eye of Providence (God looks down at our undertakings). The Templar Seal is simply that within the world, at least one place of True Faith still exists within the world that never contradicts others ways of life or their religious ideals, faiths and/or belief systems or values.

 

I personally think that those symbols are deliberately put into the game to add an effect of wonder and the air of mystery as to who controls the world of GTA V. Just random openly displayed Easter Eggs that make gamers wonder. That's it and that's all.

 

I still have yet to find a true Square and Compasses (Masonic Light) in the game. When I do, this will be the ONLY ACTUAL symbol that represents a R* Employee is Masonic. As this is the only Symbol we use to tell the world that we took part in creating something (this game, for example).

 

Don't think to much into it... if I told you what I know, you might just change the channel. As some things aren't meant to be read or revealed at this time. Not many people are mentally prepared for what's ahead (TRUTH).

 

Now, back to our show.

The Phone code, if nothing at all to do with a mystery, is still a great secret discovery for fun, in that it brings new ways to break the game, and I'm glad most people agree with me in that it probably isn't an "emp" but that is just one persons guess, and that it could be a dev' tool.

 

Le Biatch...explain to us what we are looking for here from that Twitter link? First I note is that creation looks nothing at all like Nico, and the user seems like an attention seeker, (sorry if it is you). Is that supposed to be Nico Bellic junior?

The link may or may not be from a *R employee. It is not mine. I don't even have a fb in real life. If it is a clue to solving this, then I'll gather as much as I can and weed out the rest in the end. Until then, I'll be considering it evidence till ruled out.

Remember, the epsilon had a REAL twitter account before the game came out and were dropping hints BEFORE anyone could realize what was going on. They had a contest and hundreds registered. Only five people won but I'm sure everyone that entered is participating in this mystery.

If the link is made just by a fan, then disregard.

Until then, everything to me is evidence.

[robbert94]

Didn't the guy that found the file say it was labelled 'empdrop' sure I read or heard somewhere that's why it's called empdrop, tried the number earlier b4 updating as haven't been on In a while and it defo worked b4 latest patch, however, can't rule out emporer grey, and let's not 4get 'segregate & rearrange

It wasn't labeled emperor in the game code, the cheat is called 'CHEAT_MONOC'. It's just that the numbers could spell out EMPDROP. Or EMPEROR, who knows. Could be both.

 

The weird thing is that, in the game code, it also activates something called "CELL_MONOSIGNAL" when the cheat is active. This was something I found a couple of days ago, I posted on Reddit about this before. However, this is the only mention of 'cell_monosignal' in the scripts, as far as I can see. Weird.

 

See the highlighted text in the game code:

@soulshroude

 

Well, here's my angle in asking about this specific content.

 

The imagery, that one would deem as Masonic, seems to only share similarities. While on the surface these images look to be a reproduction of Masonic origin, they also seem to adopt the Rockstar skew...slightly changed.

 

I'm unsure why, unless it's just their style, they would do something like this.

 

I don't really subscribe to the conspiracy aspects regarding why it is in the game...but, that being said, I then continually find myself looking at the characters and the perpetually bad things that seem to be the focus or theme of this game.

 

In short regarding the above...I find it extremely difficult to pinpoint much in the game world, storylines, characters lives, ...even the npcs..where there is something positive taking place. It just gives an overall feeling of continued spiraling downward, while our characters seem to believe they are progressing toward something.

 

So, taking some of my observations...I am left to wonder what we are meant to take all of this to mean. I ask this, even though I do consider all GTA titles, to have that trainwreck/perpetual sh*tstorm theme, of bad things happening ...though this particular entry seems to stand out more.

 

I realize i'm kinda all over the place it seems. It's difficult to put into words.

 

Thanks for the previous reply!

I found the next step! Or think i did. I stumbled into some sandy shores heart tatoo graffiti. It captivated me because the arrows around the heart tatoo said stand there and line up. Then i noticed the cameras on both sides so i pulled it out and stared at the tattoo until my eyes unfocused.

 

Then the word jetpack and the symbol were suddenly to the left. I stared at this graffiti for 2 hours and finally ,climbed a roof and looked again. Unfocused eyes ofc.. the graffiti told me "choose traitor."

 

Im searching now for the other two just to confirm my hypothesis. They literally meant come back when your story is complete.

Each ending slowly unlocks those blank spots in the mural. And im willing to bet , eventually that ufo is ours!

 

Apologies if this topic was misplaced in my excitement.

 

Anybody else ever notice this?

 

 

The graffiti is strange in its behavior. It seems light and both vertical and horizontal movement effect the graffiti word, and their similar to optical illusions.

 

Not even joking. This is the next step

Trying but my phones being a douche. Im going to vid but in the meantime its in sandy shores just northwest across the street from the barbershop. Close to trevors house.somebody go up there for 5 mins and confirm what i cant atm?

[auntjeff]

Are you talking about the full wall graffiti, with the heart and the anchor going through it, with palm trees and ocean? ..if so, im confused in what to do to be able to see what you see.

 

It's gonna be hard to take a magic eye picture.

[Saiyanskillz]

Yes! Thats it. You have to unfocus your eyes . To the left of it is the jetpack with yellow letters above it once u do it right. But you cant just look you have to wait until your eyes are pretty much crossed. Which explains the cross eye. I was staring at the first T on tattoo for about a minute when i saw the jetpack suddenly next to it. It helps to not look directly at it

[Soulshroude]

@Saiyanskillz

I'll consider the redherring as someone waiting for attention. R*'s not going to have anyone focus on a picture like an autostereogram. I doubt this will ever happen in a video game. I'm not jumping on the "GTFO" band wagon, but this theory is just ridiculous... and that "next step" appeal is bothering me. It is theory and speculative and in no way a next step into anything productive.

[Saiyanskillz]

Youll eat your words soon sir. Its so obscure most people wouldnt see it. And true.

 

Its completely ridiculous, sounding. But im not one for attention especially on the net

Waiting with my spork.

[Saiyanskillz]

Alright...how about this? If im lying just go look at it. Notice the tattoo heart. The xameras on both sides. The trevor face at the top left, the identical mural wall to its immediate left. That heart tattoo eventually becomes traitor. The yellow words look like jetpack from the angle just to the right od it. The symbol below it is clearly a man with a jetpack. Its like those optical illusions that you habe to be crosseyed-like to see. It confirms that you have to beat each ending to fully unlock the mural, IF there are two more graffitis like it. Id assume they are near franklin and michaels respective houses.

Its all about the angle, lighting, and your eyes. I spent two hours baked until i finally saw "choose traitor"

 

Rockstar said there are hidden eggs so obscure most ppl wont see it. There you have it .

I'm only contesting the fact that unless this actually gave you the next step as to where to go and you gave us that "that next step" and next location for tangible storyline hidden cut scene that we've never seen telling us that you unlocked something major and of Chiliad Mural significance... Then I stand by my last post.

 

Challenge: Can someone photoshop that Tattoo Mural and give us what the original poster was posting about, "autostereogram" wise? Post a decrypted picture of the same.
