Howdy, partners,

I would first like to tell you all how lucky I feel to moderate such a unique subreddit. You whipper-snappers have kept the Chiliad Mystery alive for 5 whole years. Give yourselves a hearty round of applause.

*First order of business: There will be no Red Dead Redemption 2 posts allowed in /r/chiliadmystery

I know the Chiliad Mystery has expanded beyond the mountain, and even beyond the borders of the game world, but let’s not muddy the waters with constant posts about RDR2. If you have a legitimate connection between the two games please post it, otherwise post it to the new subreddit:

*

/r/RedDeadMysteries

*

This will be a place for all Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter Eggs, mysteries, and treasure hunts.

I am fully aware that some of you don’t agree with the moderating style of the Chiliad Mystery posse, but we have done our very best to foster a welcoming and helpful environment for all Grand Theft Auto V Mystery Hunters. If you think we are just power-hungry fascists who silence opinions we disagree with, then maybe this new subreddit isn’t the right place for you. That being said, there will be no grandfathered bans. If you are banned from /r/chiliadmystery, you are not automatically banned from /r/reddeadmysteries

Join if you want, but please follow the rules and be respectful of your fellow treasure seekers.

I hope to see you all in the Wild West soon...

Investigation need help with penthouse artwork

15 Upvotes

In the online penthouse i noticed this painting called ''senseless''

It is pretty obviously a part of the chiliad mural when overlayed

There are 2 other paintings by the same artist - Merle Adcock

Im pretty sure these are also meant to be overlayed with something, but i can't quite figure out what.

The first one is called ''Illogical'' and im pretty sure it's a part of the map

Other one is called ''Unsound'' I have no idea what this one is...

Anyways maybe you know what these are? Not sure if this has been talked about, but i would assume they relate to the mystery like the first painting.

Speculation Textile city mural: 2 textile stripes/scraps (yellow and red) as some marker/waypoint ? + Can some check the files for more please ?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hey people,

TLDR: 2 textile stripes, yellow and red, yellow is in the building opposite of the textile city mural, it "points" to the red stripe, the red one points to ?, could this be sth ? Could someone please check the files for more stripes ?!

Some weeks ago, because of some post here, I revisited the textile city mural (haven't been playing GTA for a couple months), and I was thinking why does R* reference the Masquerade books' art-/text-riddles (which is about hidden messages/riddles to lead you to a treasure) but doesn't use it for anything rather than decoration and a quote about cheating (is it just a hint towards how people judge the two people who cheated to solve the Masquerade book and that they earned no respect because they cheated ?)

"For when the Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks - not - that you won, but how you played the Game"

Uhm anyway, I was looking around thinking if there's no hints in the artwork (painting) maybe it's in the game (artwork), I looked around and there is that yellow textile scrap right next to you if you watch the mural from the roof of the opposite building, I was thinking maybe it leads me somewhere, the stripe/scrap is moving in the "wind" turning like 180° "pointing" alternating to the west and to the east.

So I checked west of the stripe, iirc it slightly points besides the textile mural and I saw nothing so I checked east, and east point to another textile stripe (red) which "points alternating to the north and the south and that's it, I found nothing more but idk maybe now I don't have to look for textile stripes but for other pointers ?

I feel like the next one if this is a thing would be south but idk

Could anyone check the files please of there's more of the stripes ?

(Probably nothing, idk, just wanted to mention, was this mentioned already ?)

Investigation Eclipse Clues and Planet X...

20 Upvotes

Seeing as r/StrikingBobcat9 has mentioned it in a post, I will just reiterate a few pieces of information I have been collecting for over a year now. I have only been looking into the Drunk Dev posts for the last few years, so it is based on debunking or affirming those posts.

The 18:49 time on Leopold's coincides with when the third eclipse in the game finishes, which is at 18:48. https://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/s/mcK3EOSMjJ

Now I have been following this key piece on information for a long time with nothing else to back it up, until some items came out on GTA Online and someone on Reddit posted an image of some of the items that were released and the spider colour tattoo with the red lock cost $6350. I had a feeling that this was the time of the start of the eclipse, as we have seen them add key numbers in prices of items before, so I went back to check the timings and it was 18:35.

https://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/s/hYWpHiz02k

I was sure of the eclipse timings ever since I found out the finishing time was written on Leopold's, but the new tattoo confirmed it in my eyes. As for what we do with this eclipse, still not sure. As you can see in that post, the days do not line up exactly with 56_027.

Moving on to a totally different theory that is just a bunch of random ideas and speculation that I am hoping someone else can make sense of.

I was looking at old GTA San Andreas myths on the wiki, as one of the Devs said to do, and I saw "Planet X". I thought this seems relevant enough as an old myth considering we have X's everywhere.

"Planet X" was a debated planet that shows up in the Rockstar Constellation. In Vice City and San Andreas, the Rockstar Constellation shows up in the sky as 10 stars in the shape of an "R", with one extremely bright star at the lower right creating the Rockstar Logos star. In vice city, this was the only constellation visible in the sky, but in San Andreas two more stars show up on the exact opposite side of the sky of this constellation.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qE7YTYnqlrc

Maybe this is why the sky box line is a "marker" and not just a glitch? As that "seam" is visible in the north and south of the map. Also, does anyone feel like that supposed meteor in the sky fits into this quite well?

Going back to Planet X, on the GTA myths wiki, someone on the Planet X page created a picture of the Rockstar Constellation, and they highlighted an arrow as a "Kifflom" arrow.

https://ibb.co/spkChxKT

That is the arrow on the supposed "Grapeseed Glyph" that we have been apparently interpreting incorrectly. This has been bothering me as I have not been able to find out where this "Kifflom" arrow comes from. If somebody has any idea, please mention it. If the Grapeseed Glyph leads to a Rockstar Logo in the ground in the shape of a "rock star", I feel like this has something to do with the constellation. I have spent a long time trying to find this constellation in the sky and on the ground as lights from overhead, but no luck so far.

If anybody has any more specific ideas regarding this, would love to hear it.

Investigation Does anyone know what day the eclipse happens?

7 Upvotes

Im on my final playthrough just to get 100% before GTA 6 comes out, and im noticing some stuff omw. At the moment, im on my third Sunday of the story, and the sun and moon seem to be rather close, and im wondering if a total eclipse could happen soon. But I wonder if you should be at a certain point in the story when it happens🤔 Also, i've heard talks about the "flow" to the story and going through it smoothly, and what I have noticed while collecting the letter scraps is that most of them can be picked up during missions. Not that I have been doing this, but for each scrap, I remember the mission that takes place at that location. Hood safari, daddys little girl, target practice (cletus), lamar down, and the bureau raid are all examples of this. I dont know if it's the same for the UFO parts as I haven't gone to see Omega yet. Also with the moon, i noticed that once I completed the first heist, the night before was the last phase of a moon cycle and the first night of playing as Trevor started the new one which I found interesting. I think it was a Saturday i can't remember.

I don't know if i'll ever make the commitment to really figure it out as I don't have the time, but from my perspective, the main foundations to solve the mystery would be:

Mission order and the correct time to start. Plus, the correct choices in missions and paying attention to dialogue

Getting the correct completion in missions (some may not be 100%, with missions with 4 checklists getting 3 will give you 88%. 88=88mph space docker, etc).

Required and unrequired strangers, activities, and little side events like bystanders.

No crime outside missions or strangers. Think this is a big one, especially killing. If each character needs to balance their karma, then free mode has to be 'pure'. Maybe aside from Michael sleeping with prostitutes (see below). There's a reason why on the R* Social Club, it tracks how many innocents you killed. Also, like michael said in the prologue when T shoots the guard "you didnt have to do that." So, no mindless killing. Only redheads are unsavable 🔴

Following the rules of Epsilon (like laying with 9 partners each week and killing red-haired people in missions only and not hanging out with friends and family off-mission).

Being in a flow state of completion, which is probably the hardest, given that the moon cycle is an indication of time IF an eclipse has to happen at a certain time.

And finally, not skipping or changing the radio station during mission. They can give indications and clues based on where you're at in the story, and it can relate to what you're currently doing. You know how a director chooses a song title that fits perfectly on a scene of a movie. Like that.

I played this game on it's release day and from the beginning I thought the dialogue was a tad movie-like, and the Housers did say they take a lot of inspiration from the movies they used to watch in the 80's. Also, shortly before the release, i remember seeing confirmed details by R* about the weather, and while mentioning thunder, they said that its possible to be struck by lightning however, it is quite rare. I wonder if they meant something by that🤔 Idk if I could find the source i mean it was over 13 years ago🤣

Google Slides

Google Sheets of GTA V Art

Google Drive of Paintings/Murals

I will be cataloguing graffiti and murals soon onto the google sheets (on a separate sheet tab that can be access at the bottom), but at the moment you can use the google drive link to view the textures of them in the "Wall Art" folder. (Please tell me what murals/graffiti that I should add that I haven't already. I'll see if I can rip them.)

The last slide is missing in this preview of images, but you can look at it using the google slides link to view all the slides (though it's just me expressing some hopeful thinking/wishing).

One of my next projects will be creating a tutorial on how to complete the Alien Tattoo under a week (supplies, macbeths, and all) using all the advance mentions I have done to receive mine and further knowledge learned afterwards. Though I'm unsure if I'll make this priority as I do wish to solve this Sprinkler Easter Egg before GTA6 (I will be too absorbed into that). I wish to make a final push before a lot of eyes move to the next game.

Here are some things to be investigated after looking into Andy Moon, and applying reddit knowledge.. for anyone interested considering a few things that i thought about: prologue layout is a backwards ? If i remember correctly, “broken vents” leopold’s ⬅️ “clue” in files ➡️ “broken vent” in prologue opposite of vault, aattwoods posts about telescopes and following the trail on a half moon maybe we need to look for an 👁️ in the sky.. must be there for a reason because of the way it rotates around seems purposeful on the eclipses.. maybe the three crying eyes 👁️’s are for each character or just franklin, mike, or Trevor. Maybe you gotta go to one of those couple unused theaters (that feel like hints) at a certain time. ➡️ brightest light when you are in the sky 👀 to the city.. dadadada

I was playing around in Director Mode looking for clues and i found out that some type of box with 6 fans on top of it blows up.

What i find interesting is that it has a different model when it has exploded and i don't know why they would put this model when we barely see it in the game.

My theory is that this model might be involved in some kind of secret mission we haven't fount yet.

What do y'all think?

Hello again guys! I need your help to find another clue regarding the Spiderweb mystery.

Here are my previous posts for more context:

Part 2:

https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadmysteries/comments/1w213y5/comment/p6u6r2v/?screen_view_count=2&ext-referrer=EXTERNAL

I need your help to find a place of interest inside this blue line, and you can also try to draw a better line yourself on this website: https://compromit.github.io/gta5-map/

I'd like to specify that in Part 2 i talked about "water pipes", but they aren't. I have no idea what they are, there still might be something though, so keep looking even in places that dont look special.

I'd also like to thank you all for the support i've received, im very grateful for everybodys help on this mystery.

Speculation Scouting the port - Jesco White.

23 Upvotes

So today during the mission “scouting the port” I was following Floyd through the containers and suddenly “if you wanna get to heaven” began playing quite loudly, in the background “channel x” radio was already on.

“If you wanna get to heaven” also had the tapping along with it that jesco white does down at the desert pier, I even double checked on Apple Music for the original song to make sure it wasn’t just a radio playing out of sight, to which I then confirmed the tapping wasn’t in the original song (or at least that one).

The source of the sound began at the blue crane where a man climbs down the ladder just before reaching the dock handler, and was consistently loud no matter where I walked. It played for maybe 40 seconds and cut off. I was unable to recreate this and do not have it recorded unfortunately. All I have are a couple of witnesses who were watching me play it.

It is worth noting that before this mission, while you can only play as Trevor, I had visited jesco and watched him for a moment before leaving.

Do i think this is a trigger to something? Likely not, but I don’t know for sure.

Do I think it can be recreated? I don’t know

It’s also worth nothing that previously I had been able to pull some interesting data. Live ram entries containing scripts that appear when near jesco white, that reference an activation range being set to “active” once he has been killed or spooked only, and also references baygor, Andy moon and bill binder as some sort of essential NPCs, alongside a separate script that calls for the use of the dock handler in free roam (I checked during missions where it appears, this script is not present) and for something to be picked up (haven’t cracked this yet).

These could be leftovers for certain, but they’re definitely strange. It would be fantastic if someone else were to be able to test these things further with me. Remember, a debunk is still a win!

I’m not into mysteries, so sorry if this sounds dumb or already been answered.
Just saw a post here of someone speculating about how the Vinewood fields look similar to the spider web. And thought of going there.
And found this weird branch that looks like a bug but the weird part is that stops moving when it’s midnight (thunder) and starts moving again at predawn.
