The Infamous Mount Chiliad Mystery - Grand Theft Auto V 

Who do you work for?

honestly the only thing that surprises me at this point is the fact that franklin canonically went out and tracked down all these spaceship parts

I have a feeling that rockstar had a different, more coherent vision/project regarding these aircraft, aliens, and the chiliad mystery in general, but because of gta online it got screwed up

“Hippies will believe anything if the weed is strong enough.” - Fizhy, 2024.

There is like 27 mysteries in a mystery because of this mountain.

I know I haven’t posted in a week but that’s for good reason, I decided to tackle the meaty one.

Franklin has the weirdest stranger missions imo

“It’s either genius or a genius having a stroke.” Ain’t never heard a better way to summarize GTA…

the gta universe manages to throw you just enough hints to make things look coherent, but not enough to actually get the full picture. makes you really wonder if its by design or due to simply being a hodgepodge of people throwing random stuff in it.

Ever since I heard you wanted to tackle more GTA mysteries and lore, I was waiting for this inevitable video. Once again, you did not disappoint.

Idk how many hour long videos about Mount Chilliad I’ve watched so far, but every time there’s a new one, I’m watching it.

My theory is that we are the “aliens”. The character switch screen is at the same top-down angle as the aircraft (“in the clouds”). You also hear Michael (and also Arthur in RDR2) talk about how they don’t feel in control of their actions (as if we possessed them). When we’re not controlling them they continue to live their lives, indicated by the fact that when you switch to them they’re not where you left them. I feel like Rockstar are saying “you’re trying too hard” and that the answer has been in plain sight the whole time. They leave a lot of red herrings around for us but maybe they’re suggesting we should be focusing on ourselves and our own actions rather than looking for aliens or conspiracies.

Cannot wait for your videos on GTA 6 lore and mystery when the time comes

Thanks to you, i realized someone was trying to complete the Epsilon objectives, specifically Michael running aimlessly to achieve whatever they wanted him to do, and he told me lies about what he was trying to achieve and said things i decided to believe and this dude got me to run for him for no reason just like the Epsilon Program

It’s so cool your covering this game because I loved the Rdr content

I remember spending endless hours going through the lore , the map , the various hoaxes related to this single conspiracy. Even joined a playstation group about this video. And trying to enter the "vault" in the tram station on chiliad. Good times. Nice vid fizhy

I stumbled upon your channel by accident but so glad I did. You don't do click bait and it's amazing how detailed you are. I love it!

Remember the leaked 8 DLC’s from the code or wherever it came from. This was definitely related , but sadly we never saw the light of day .

Great video as always Ethan! Your long-form videos are always my favorite, totally worth the wait

Love these videos, keep up the great work!

gta v has underrated lore

Nearly an hour for one of the coolest mysteries in GTA 5! I almost feel spoiled by this treat :) looking forward to watching it!

I still remember to this day how gameplay videos about this mystery leaked days before the game's release, causing much confusion as to what they mean to symbolise.

I heard the mountain was eventually going to open up and reveal a ufo and it would be a part of an alien takeover DLC in the same way they made Undead Nightmare a zombie invasion.

Oh my gosh, you just earned a subscriber. i've been binge watching your GTA mystery videos for hours now as of typing.

I genuinely don't know how rockstar got away with stealing the model for the Ghostbusters PKE meter, I get they added some antennae on top but like that's straight up from Ghostbusters

14:24 I think the most likely thing for this one is that it hasn't been found by anyone yet aside from the player

My theory is mainly based on the psychological mural. I think, in reality, this whole mystery is just a reflection of the human mind. It’s a psychological reflection of us and our desire for intrigue and mystery when, in reality, the world is painfully simplistic, something our brains hate. The grand mysteries of bigfoot, supernatural creatures, aliens, and cults in the GTA V universe end with rather dull explanations. Bigfoot is just a delusional man in a Halloween costume with a weird kink. The Aliens are just highly advanced experimental government technology subsidized by the FIB. The Epsilon Program is just a get-rich-quick scheme from a failed actor. And the infinity killer, well, he’s just a schizophrenic maniac designed to fulfill our morbid curiosity. When you look at all those things in their totality, humans were behind all of it, just as with the entire mystery; Rockstar didn’t create the Chiliad Mystery; we did.

Nobody knows what it is because GTA v was supposed to get singleplayer DLC that would've completed this mystery, but we never did because R* are greedy pieces of trash and cancelled the DLCs

Amazing analysis. I also gotta say I love your use of shots and composition in this video! Also Idk why but your voice reminds me of Pyre real gaming

Finally the buffet is served haha Thank you for this good video! ​It has been hauting me since im 13, 8 freaking years, and every time i get into it, i come back with more questions than answers. Rockstar made a big brain​ move with that, something that will be remembered for ever. Kifflom brother-brother

YESSSS im so happy you actually made this video. This is gonna be a fun watch

Ψ is not a "trident" - It's Greek letter 'Psi'. It's used to represent many things in many fields. It most certainly is not a trident.

The past 4 episodes have been really really good absolute bangers

Thank you fizhy for such a great video. Great work again, and well done. Love this type if contant

Man your videos are a big reason as to why I've started playing the game again, and I've been looking into things like Chiliad for myself and.....Christ it's complex

The grand daddy of GTA mysteries! You do an amazing job! Great video mate!

The Lil' Probe Inn is actually a real-world reference, and not related to in-game aliens. re: Lil' Ale 'Inn, Rachel, Nevada. Rachel is the closet township to "Area 51", which "Area 69" in the game is spoofing.

55 minutes of mystery. I'm in!

"it could be a stroke of genius or just a genius having a stroke" that might have to be my new favourite sentence, its gotta be up there at least

Im always happy when Fizhy uploads

I like to think that the one above fort Zancudo is used to protect the fort from above without being noticed by enemies or to detect them (or us) before they can get in & cause any harm

just woke up, new fizhy video to watch while multitask!

29:43 They do if you look at the mountain from where the mural is based from --- there's one factor you missed. If you go to the Altruist Camp, there's a water tower with an UFO/Eye painting on it that's pointed at Mount Chillad. If yo stand at the top of this tower and look at the mountain, the silhouette of the mural lines up with the mountain itself. Any solution or revelation regarding the mystery as originally intended was lost with the cancellation of Single Player DLC. I remember a lot of insiders & leakers around 2016/2017 were saying the Import/Export update was planned to be the last one for GTA Online and that R* were finally going to start development on Single Player DLC... what we got instead in 2017 was a continued focus on GTA Online with even worse attempts at monetisation - 2 updates that followed the Business gameplay design and a "Heist", that was really a re-write of the Agent Trevor DLC, redesigned to mesh the Heists formula with the Business grief incentivising Freeroam missions. As years have gone on and the 2019 - 2020 updates proved people prefer unique updates that resemble GTA, R* have undeniably been reactivated a redesign of the original Chilliad Mystery and been building up to it throughout numerous GTA Online updates ever since 2021. Given the 2025 release date for GTA VI - I am convinced we will see the culmination of this reactivated mystery sometime in late September/October of 2024.

When I see a new Fizhy video , I clear my schedule .

Contrary to fizhy's belief, I never heard of this til now, I just enjoy watching this mystery videos

Best GTA vid I seen on RU-vid for a very long time.

I appreciate you being methodical, because I had no idea what you were talking about.

Has anyone ever tried getting all 3 characters up the top of the mountain all at once? The map on the cable car building to me tells me join all 3 together and go to the mountain…

I thought Nate’s Chilliad video was the definitive one on the subject, but you covered a lot of threads and evidence that he didn’t touch on making both videos informative in their own ways. Great job! 😅

Blessed with another video 🙏 Cheers mate

Such an underrated RU-vidr, keep it up 🙏

In the Gta online side missions with Dax he asks us in the beginning ”do you know about the eggs on mount chiliad?” ”Hahahha”

Been waiting for this banger for years

I’m pretty sure the murals in the chilliad bunker are instructions for Easter eggs in the story mode. The 27 on one of the murals must elude to the 27 plants you can find that turn you into animals with the last one turning you into Bigfoot. There’s an Easter egg associated with this when playing as big foot where you can find more plants as him and fight the wolf man from online mode. The figure 8 could be something to do with the killings and so on. There are tons of company logs used on the other murals. Including the logo dr friedlander uses on his website. There’s a Reddit post going through all the imagery etc that I’m recalling when typing this so forgive the essay you may or not have read.

Exquisite video as always 🤘🏻

Let’s goooooo! this the one I been waiting onnnn

Ur doing something right man im back watching ur videos after those rdr2 ones years ago

The trident at 34:17 is a Greek capital letter for psy

Mean beard brother! Thing is on point!

@Fizhy you forgot to mention the fourtune teller that talks about the strange man and the time traveler.

The particular mystery honestly makes me sad because the studio knew (and still knows) that their fanbase is into mysteries and loves to spend time trying to solve every single one, no matter how small it is, and they just gave up on it because GTA Online was more profitable. It’s like a big f-you to the fanbase, like they just offered a banquet and took it away from you after the appetizers

There’s one of those symbols on the cargo boat during one of the salvage yard robberies

Love your vids bro 👍

Content ty fizhy as always

Maybe the real mystery was the friends we made along the way

micheal loves watching movies he probably watched the alien movies and had nightmares

I was waiting for this one 😊

9:00 u r correct, the FIB text only rotates backwards on PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series S|X and PC. On the original release, it rotated the right way around. Since the re-releases, it's always backwards. No one knows how R* managed to do it

9:33 Odd to be aware enough to apologize for potentially triggering someone's epilepsy. Why not just give a warning beforehand?

Maybe we were meant to actually complete the game beyond the "100%" completion point. Actual completion of the all the stunt jumps and strangers and freaks missions all that. And what about the message written on the ufo above the military base. "segregate and rearrange" it is an anagram that has thousands of different possibilities. Not sure but maybe those are avenues we should explore?

babe wake up, the legend himself uploaded the a video about the biggest mystery in gaming

Now I know what I’ll be doing for the next hour!

I love a good Fizhy video

Finally, the only other long documentary on this was some guy who's voice was annoying as hell. Thank you

There is a strangers and freaks mission where we go out on mount chilliad for hunting. There while seeing through a thermal scope we can see a bigfootlike shape and when we move crosshair near it, it vanishes.

37:25 considering how much of the game is spent doing oddjobs for the government to secure funding, I think the symbolism you mention is spot on.

The bugged FIB logo is a bug that was never fixed and occurs for everyone.

I love the fear and anxiety of the spaceship hunter when he replies. "I don't know...." Sense any rational human wouldn't understand what he had seen

Please keep doing these deep dive Rockstar lore videos lol Awesome video 😊

Wow. This looks amazing. 🤩

Yes the king has posted 👑

WAKE UP BABE, FIZHY JUST POSTED AGAINNNNN ❤❤❤

This is such an interesting topic I’m a bigger fan of rdr but this is very very interesting

this all would have probably been solved if we had gotten the storymode DLCs (specifically the one focusing on aliens and franklin)

Oh, not again. I have pending assignments to complete, Fizhy.

Loving the GTA content keep up the great work

One thing i always thought was interesting was that the scanner thingys the spaceship parts guy and the one Michael uses on that epsilon mission are very very similar to the ones in both the movie "they live" (wich is about aliens... funny that?). And same scanner prop was used in Ghostbusters.

I remember when the game came out thinking that the UFO in the sea actually was a real alien crafr and that it was shot down by Fort Zancudo, explaining the spaceship parts all over the map and the wreck. Also, I don't think you mentionned this, but one satellite dish near the prison is pointing to the UFO above the hippie site.

Stroke of genius or a genius having a stroke had me dying on the floor

It's one of the biggest mystery in history of gaming thousands if not millions tried to uncover this mystery none succeded

10 years and 2 RU-vid accounts later I’m still getting gta v chilliad videos

There is something ''fizhy'' going on on that mountain

I have been binge watching your videos recently, you deserve more subscribers

Best lore man

The 'trident' on the mural is a Greek letter psi, Wikipedia says the letters Ψ or ψ can also be a symbol for: Psychology, psychiatry, and sometimes parapsychology (involving paranormal or relating with the supernatural subjects, especially research into extrasensory perception). And more but I thought that was relevant

In case y’all didn’t know, apparently the mural was supposed to hint at the cancelled single player DLC.

I’m not done with the vid but what if the aliens who attacked the hill billy when he says they were about to take him but they ended up crashing what if their ship that crashed is the sunken ufo

GTA VI's Alien mysteries are going to be out of this world 😂

I was there man. It was like an acid trip crossed with a stroke.
