it's all jacking cars, robbing banks
dodging cops, and bowling with your obnoxious cousin
who won't shut the hell up ever.
Niko, it's Roman. Let's go bowling.
However, there's something more to GTA than killing hookers
and that's solving the series' iconic mysteries.
I'm Dave Control with ArcadeCloud
and today, we'll be counting down
the top mysteries found in Grand Theft Auto V.
Let's put the pedal to the metal.
Ratman.
Ratman was one of the most popular
unsolved mysteries of Grand Theft Auto IV
and he made his grand return in Grand Theft Auto V
allegedly, of course.
He's a half-man, half-rat creature
that prowled the sewers of Liberty City.
Every now and again, he'll blow his cover
and shout, "I am Ratman!"
Don't let these familiar attributes fool you.
Ratman is not the hero this city needs
nor is he the one it deserves.
He's a feral monster that attacks any homeless person
or playable protagonist
foolish enough to get in his way.
When he relocated to Los Santos
Ratman began hanging around more areas than just the sewers.
Players claim they have sighted this affront to nature
amongst Los Santos's homeless communities
beneath freeways and in maintenance tunnels.
It's been said that if you traverse
the sewers long enough, you may hear strange laughter
come from behind the grimy walls.
Thanks to the legend of the Ratman
some of Los Santos's less glamorous environments
have become quite popular to explore.
Whether or not risking disease
and walking in toilet water for hours on end is worth it
remains to be seen.
Ghost on the mountain.
A horrible crime may
or may not have been committed on Mount Gordon
the proof, if you visit the top of the mountain at 2300
a woman's ghost will appear on a ledge
for exactly one minute before disappearing.
Unlike other mysteries
we know for a fact that this ghost does exist.
If you walk over to where the ghost was floating
you'll find the name Jock written in blood on the stone
which refers to the actor-turned-politician
and all-around @#$%! Jock Cranley.
In his younger days
Jock aspired to move to Los Santos
and become a stuntman
but his wife Jolene objected
and ultimately kept him from his dreams.
Rumour has it that while on a hike through the mountains
with his old ball and chain
Jock pushed Jolene off of the mountain to her death.
Jock was arrested but later released.
So the question remains, did Jock kill Jolene?
If so, how did he dodge jail time?
Is the bloody name on the mountain a hoax
concocted by his political opponents?
If only Jock had written a book
about how he would have hypothetically murdered his wife
and got away with it
this mystery may have been solved.
Underwater hatch.
Off the coast of San Andreas is a hatch emitting a yellow glow.
It bears a not insignificant resemblance
to the hatch from the show Lost
no polar bears here though.
It may not look like much
but the hatch kills the player if they get close enough to it.
Why is anybody's guess.
If you get close enough to this aquatic anomaly
you'll hear faint noises you can translate via tap code.
Tap code is the hipster version of Morse code.
When deciphered, the message reads, "Hey, you never call.
How'd you fancy going bowling?"
We don't know the exact origin of the hatch
but if Niko Bellic's cousin found his way in there
we hope he never has a chance to escape.
So why did you do this to me?
Let's go bowling.
Charles Manson's house.
A mini history lesson for you
the 1960s brought about
the prominence of Charles Manson
the leader of the Manson Family
which consisted of 18 other women
living in a house with him.
Manson's cult killed seven women.
The authorities charged Manson
with conspiracy to commit murder
earning him nine life sentences in prison
where he remains to this day.
In the Vinewood Hills of GTA
you can find graffiti on the wall that reads "1807"
with an arrow directing the player up the hill.
The 18 represents how many women lived with Manson
while the 07 represents his cult's kill count.
If you follow the arrow,
you'll encounter a luxurious home
that bears some resemblance to the house
of the Manson Family's most famous victim
actress Sharon Tate.
You can find people partying in the backyard.
And if you brush up next to them, they'll die.
It's unknown if the player's character
is cursed with a touch of death
or if the people that inhabit the party
are apparitions of the victims that perished on the property.
Maybe they partied too hard
and you came along at the exact wrong time.
I mean, I'm not one to judge.
The Pistol Grave.
The Vinewood Cemetery has an open grave.
Open but not empty because at the bottom rests a pistol.
Fans speculate that
it's a reference to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
In that game's story
protagonist Carl Johnson
lost his mother to a drive-by at the hands
of the Ballas gang.
CJ decides that he would like to bury his mother in Los Santos.
In San Andreas, her grave remained open
for a lot of the game adding credence to the theory.
That or maybe Rockstar wanted players
to be able to nab a free gun
from the creepiest place possible.
The Native American tribe.
Tongva Hills may also house a Native American tribe
unseen by modern society.
One of the first hints is a totem pole
featuring an owl perched at the top
and a sign placed atop it reading, "Two Hoots Falls".
If you're convinced
this is something more of a hiking trail attraction
keep traversing the woods until you find a cave
that looks to have been cleared out
in order to be inhabited by something or someone.
The walls of this particular cave are darkened
almost as if they were burned by fire.
At night, in the same area
players have reported hearing
the sounds of the natives around them
from the rustling of bushes
to footsteps, to creepy ominous whispers
from off in the distance.
According to fan theories regarding this tribe
they've evaded the reach of foreign oppressors
for generations
and find that the best way to do so
is to keep out of their sight
and live in secretive hiding their entire life.
Now that is some master-level hide and seek right there!
Impeding zombie apocalypse.
In Lester's house, you can see
that he's got quite a few allusions
to zombies on his wall
but this doesn't appear to be out of an appreciation
for George Romero films.
If you look hard enough
you'll find two archived boxes he has stored.
One labelled "Assassinations",
which the player can take on in the game
while the other is labelled "Zombie Outbreaks".
Considering how on top of everything Lester is
he probably has a hunch that the zombies
will soon inherit the earth
and has spent time preparing for the worst
with a file folder full of secret plans.
'Cause you never know, just like that...
Another question remains
where will the zombies come from?
Fan theories point to Humane Labs and Research
a mysterious organisation that fans also believe
is responsible for other GTA V mysteries like Ratman.
Many speculate that they developed a zombie virus.
These theories propose that the zombie virus
is the package that Michael
steals in the mission Monkey Business.
When the coroners are examining Michael's dead body
in the mission Dead Man Walking
they seriously believe that Michael
is reanimating when he wakes up.
This particular moment leads us to think
that either reanimation and zombies
are a plausible concept in the GTA universe
or these guys are just, you know, idiots.
The Jackal.
Oftentimes, players find themselves wandering the cruel
and unforgiving desert landscape only to die out of nowhere.
One of these explanations
is the presence of jackals in the game.
But these aren't your average jackals, oh, no.
Those who have encountered this beast
claim that it can easily be identified
by the disturbing and unique noise it makes
which sounds like something akin to a demon mixed with a dog.
This is actually pretty funny
when you realise that jackals
have been used as a symbol of Satan
and death throughout Christian mythology.
In the very off chance
you happen to find it or it finds you
you have basically no hope of ending it
before it can end you.
This is all thanks to the fact
that the jackal runs at supernatural speeds so high
and it kills the players so quickly
it seems like you've died of a heart attack.
To make matters more challenging in regards to both survival
and proving the @#$%! thing exists
theorists claim that the creature will not appear
if you're sporting an invincibility cheat.
Despite a lack of solid visual evidence over the years
the vast amount of animals featured in the game show
that it's not that far of a stretch
to believe that a jackal is hiding out there
somewhere in the game's code
waiting to ruin your desert trek.
There you have it, folks
part one of the Top Mysteries in Grant Theft Auto V.
We've got more on the way in part two, so stay tuned.
