25 🦂 The Mystery Of Mount Chi🉐lliad – GTA V

The Mystery of Mount Chilliad is perhaps ꦐone of the biggest mysteries in any Grand Theft A♔uto game so far. It refers to a series of mysterious markings which can be found on the largest mountain in San Andreas.

If you enter th♈e cable car station at the summit of Mt. Chiliad, you come across a large map painted on the wall which appears to be a map of the mountain, with various odd symbols scattered all around. It is speculated that these point to the locations of secret objects which could be hidden on the mountain. A strange symbol is also seen above the peak which resembles the All-seeing Eye, a possible reference to the Illuminati. Finally, there is a drawing etched behind the viewing platform which reads, “Come back when your story is finished”. Returning to the mountain after completing the game 100% will unlock an easter egg, allowing a UFO to appear above Mount Chiliad.

24 🤪 The Mass Grave Of Bone County – GTA: San A🌼ndreas

Possessed cars aren’t the only crazy thing happening around in Grand Theft Auto San Andreasꦜ. It seems as if there is a serial killer on the loose who is responsible for the mu🍒rder of six people. The proof for this? Well, that would be the Mass Grave which can be found in Bone County.

The exact location of this pit is at the foot of a mesa in El Castillo del Diablo, Bone County, to the south of Verdant Meadows Airfield and to the north of the Restricted Area. The pit contains six body bags, a Bobcat truck parked next to it and a shovel. Different speculations range as to who actually created this graveyard but most of these point to Mary-Beth Maybell who broadcasts a radio show from Bone County and claims to have six husbands. 🀅Other theories suggest that it is a reference by Rockstar to real-life mafias from Las Vegas that are known to dump bodies in the desert.

23 Mystery Of The Infinity Murders – GTA V ꦰ

It can be a lot of fun to cause all sorts of chaos and mayhem throughout the city in GTA V but wha🐲t if you want to try out something different? There is nothing better than solving a good old murder mystery. According to legend, Merle Abrahams who is better known as the Infinity Killer was responsible for killing eight male𓄧 joggers back in the late 90s. Unfortunately, these bodies were never discovered by the police but you as a player can solve the mystery of the Infinity Murders.

Throughout San Andreas, you will come across clues in different places that will eventually lead to a location off the coast of Paleto Bay in the northern part of the State. You will require some scuba gear at this point which will allow you to reach the floor of the ocean and discover eight bodies wrapped in plastic. Congratulations, you just sol♋ved the mystery of the Infinity Murders.

22 CJ’s Career As A TV Star – GTA ✨IV ൩

If you successfully beat GTA San Andreas, you know about the ending that involved our protagonist Carl Johnson, famously known as CJ. We won’✤t spoil it here for you but what has he been really up to since then? The answer to that was hidden by Rockstar in a small secret inꦅ GTA IV.

When you finally get a safe house, you can actually watch some TV. For this secret, go to the TV and press the intended button to switch it on. Next, keep flipping through the channels until you come across one where the show “I’m Rich” is on. The show has different epi🔯sodes, so you will need to watch through a few of them before you catch this. During one of these, the narrator will say “Your life will be as exciting as a soda commercial.” As he says this, you will briefly get to see CJ free falling in a multicolored suit above San Andreas and then pulling open his parachute.

21 A Briefcase Full Of Cash – GTA V ⛦ 🐈

There are many ways of earning money throughout GTA V. The game has an actual working stock market where you can buy company shares and later sell them to make tons of cash. All of this can take a while though and you need to know exactly which company to invest in to make some serious money. So, what do you do ifꦡ you are in need of some quick cash?

Luckily, there a number of hidden packages throughout the game that contain cash. One of these is a briefcase containing $25,000, but it’s🤪 not very easy to find. To access it, you need to head out to the northern most part of Del Perro Beach, grab a boat or jet ski and head out almost one hundred feet onto the sea. Once you’re at the location, div🅰e in, and you should be able to come across a sunken submarine. Look around, and you will see a briefcase lying near the hatch. Pick it up, and you now have $25,000.

20 ജ The Moon Landing Was A📖 Hoax – GTA: Vice City

If you’ve been on the internet for a while, there are twoℱ conspiracy theories that you have definitely come across at some point. One of them claims that the 𓃲Earth is flat while the other one seems to claim that the 1969 Moon Landing was nothing but a big hoax.

Many of these conspiracy theorists claim that the entire thing was shot in a movie studio and that Neil Armstrong never set foot on꧙ the moon. Now, we’re not here to prove or disap♔prove any conspiracy theories but Rockstar decided to address this in a manner which they know best i.e. via an easter egg. To find this one, you need to head out to the InterGlobal Studios located on Prawn Island. Once there, you need to check out each of the studios until you come across the one with a Moon Lander and the American Flag. This is your easter egg to confirm the fact that the Moon landings were indeed fake, in the Grand Theft Auto universe at least.

19 The Hatch In The Sea – GTA V ꦕ

Ther𝓀e is a lot of stuff to do on land in GTA V but Rockstar went ahead and put extra effort into creating a fully explorable ocean with lost treasures and sunken ships. One of these mysteries is a hatch which can be found at the bottom of the ocean in the far east of tওhe map, near the coast of San Chianski Mountain Range.

For those who are familiar with the 2004 TV series Lost by J.J. Abrams will recognize this immediately, as the hatch was a very important plot element during the first five seasons of the series. The one in GTA V is located💙 at a depth where it cannot be reached in a normal game but you can still get close enough to hear a strange tapping noise and see the light inside the hatch turn on and off. Someone eventually figured out that it was Morse code and deciphered it which said, “Hey, you never call, how do you fancy go bowling?” This is clearly a nod to Roman Bellic, cousin of GTA 4’s protagonist Niko Bellic’s who would call you multiple times asking you to go bowling.

18 🎐 An Homage To Scarface – GTA: Vice City ﷺ

Most of the secrets found in GTA games are often references to pop culture so it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest secrets hidden away in this game is an homage to the 1983 Al Pacino classic, Scarface.

This apartment, also known as Apartment 3C can be found without much difficulty by following certain markers. To access it, go to the underground shopping mall that is situated between Collar & Cuffs and Pole Position. Walk through this mall, and you will come across a building which is located opposite to you. On the south side of this building, there are two sets of stairs which lead to a doorway that you can enter. Inside you will find a case half-filled with cocaine and a chainsaw plus some blood splatter on the walls inside the bathroom. This is a reference to the scene in Scarface when a drug deal inside an apart🏅ment goes wrong and Tony Montana’s friend is killed in a bathtub with a chainsaw.

17 Boost Stats And Cash From The Start –⛦ GTA: San Andreas

While it is true that you can use cheats to get a lot of things done in GTA San Andreas, but that’s not a lot of fun now, is ⭕it? Instead, there is a way of making loads of cash and boosting your stats at the start of the game without having to use any cheats at a🍎ll.

Mount the bike and pedal your way to the gym located by the beach. While you're riding, if you do wheelies you'll be able to earn a bit more money for your cause (not to mention increase your cycling skills). Next, equip yourself with the armor and a silenced pistol along the way. When you reach the gym, start a workout to increase muscle. Once t🏅hat is taken care of, head back to Glen Park and look for drug dealers which you can shoot with the silent pistol. Once you have about $10,000, go ahead and buy the property in Jefferson to save your game. Keep trying the drug dealer method until you have enough money to bet on a horse with 12/1 odds Inside Track Betting near the Southern End of Mulholland Intersection. Win the race and you'll have to go back to Jefferson and save, but if you end up losing, you can always reload a previous save. We were able to generate more than one hundred million dollars using this which can last an entire game.

16 🔯 Finding A Cursed Ghost Car – GTA: San Andreas

Along with some of the craziest stuff, San Andreas is also home to things that are spooky and very difficult to explain. One of these is the existence of a ghost car which 🍰can actually be found and used by the player.

To find it, look closely at the bottom part of the map, and you shoul🌃d be able to see two shapes resembling a horseshoe. If you still have trouble finding these, they are located on the countryside part of the map between Los Santos and San Fierro, to the east of Mt. Chilliad. Once you get there, walk to the edge of the shapes (on the map) and you should come across a ditch with quite a few old cars laying around. Enter the one on top of the hill and drive away. Once you walk back again to the spot, that’s when all the spooky stuff will start happening. It will start raining and an old wrecked car will come slowly out of the trees without anyone behind the wheel. The crazy part is that you also cannot repair this car at a Pay🌳’n’Spray.
