Yesterday we reported on a thrilling development in the world of GTA 5 mystery hunting. While the Chiliad Mystery has yet to be solved, progress on a different hidden chain of easter eggs. UFOs aren't the only supernatural phenomenon in the franchise, after all.
One of the longest running mysteries in the GTA franchise is that of Bigfoot. The first rumors of the creature being hidden somewhere cropped up during the time of San Andreas. Easter egg hunters relentlessly dug through the game's code and files trying to find out how to summon the creature to no avail. Mods were used on PC to fake discoveries for the sake of publicity.
However, those hunters who actually wanted to uncover an official easter egg were left wanting. Eventually Rockstar tentatively confirmed that there is no Sasquatch in GTA San Andreas. Of course, some players were not dissuaded even by this official confirmation, while others continued the search in other games of the franchise.
GTA 4 in particular was pretty easter egg heavy, many of which took months to discover. Some players theorize that the game still has some undiscovered secrets, though others doubt this to be true. Fact of the matter is, with players accessing the game code, it is difficult to keep anything hidden these days.
However, in the case of GTA 5, Rockstar has managed to do so. Not only do they add the pieces of the puzzle to the game over time via various updates, they hide the code references behind riddles of sorts.
When we reported about the bigfoot finally having been discovered in GTA 5 some time ago, it was also realized that the Beast peyote (also known as the Golden Peyote) asn't in the vanilla game at all, but added as a patch. Finding it would have been impossible without looking for the hints in the code.
Once it was discovered, the instructions to access it spread across the internet — you can check them out here — and many assumed that the mystery was solved, mission accomplished.
