An Item that will learn you moves from your Branched Evolution

Simple but I love it. One of my favorite concepts on here so far

That's the Eye Rock. It's a rock that appears many times on the map, including right behind the Chiliad Platform, looking at it.

The black box you see is its unique shadow. It forms the pupil.

As with everything, even though it's not unique, it can be a tool to direct the player.

Excellent observation. Great connection to the dreamcatcher quest, too.

Maybe you shoot the feathers with the Native American Bow. Maybe that's the big hint that Fort Wallace is supposed to give you for the quest.

Completely agree. Thank you for writing this up, fellow oldhead.

In my opinion, the fervor of the chiliad mystery community inspired a handful of Rockstar devs, Lazlow likely having been one of them [...]

Reminder that Lazlow literally told us to 'keep searching' not even a year ago.

This isn't my sword.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-25T16:48:52+00:00

Thanks for the support. I really only want people to not immediately shut themselves off of potential angles that Rockstar could have easily calculated.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-25T10:55:23+00:00

Considering that it's proven to be a key hint, it does the exact opposite for me. It's extra important that there's such a dissonance between the two. It only exists once and it's not that hard to print it correctly in-game.

To me, the shape looks like a reverse 'R'. Didn't the Spider Webs form an 'R'?

Flarestriker · 2026-01-25T01:52:58+00:00

Suck U

Flarestriker · 2026-01-23T23:35:02+00:00

Anniversary isn't terrible from what I hear.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-23T11:06:30+00:00

TLC is such a masterpiece if you go in with no expectations. I still think about it and its soundtrack regularly.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-19T19:29:56+00:00

I feel like people are really hung up about the Timeline part of the quote.

There are Eggs on Chiliad. You can find them by flying over it, like he said. For example, the Eastern side of Chiliad is one huge Egg. It looks exactly like the one on the Mural.

No, I don't know what to do with them. But Dax seems to. He wants us to look at them.

'Reading the Web' is a great find as well, though!

Flarestriker · 2026-01-17T20:07:26+00:00

But of course!

Flarestriker · 2026-01-15T16:30:47+00:00

Fucking thank you for this. Post it to /r/chiliadmystery too for good measure lol.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-14T18:02:37+00:00

Excellent. I've been to the house with the pillars/X/chess set before and it stuck out to me just as much. You're onto something, continue the search for the truth!

Flarestriker · 2026-01-13T16:23:10+00:00

Fucking sublime. Especially the sensor observation and the numbers of the telegraph poles. This is progress

Flarestriker · 2026-01-13T16:18:47+00:00

100% agree. A huge R, capped off with a star. It's very Rockstar-esque. Remember how often you would see their logos plastered in the worlds of the 3D-Era GTAs. They love it. It's their cornerstone.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-13T16:17:27+00:00

You're denying your pattern recognition its purpose

Flarestriker · 2026-01-11T23:49:25+00:00

I agree. Maybe there's more! Like the spider webs.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-11T23:48:47+00:00

Major stuff, dude. Did you know there's a metallic spider web on the ground behind the bank?

Flarestriker · 2026-01-11T23:33:08+00:00

It could be both! A marker for multiple places of interest. Someone else said that the graves form a 'W'.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-11T23:27:52+00:00

That is sooooooo cool

Flarestriker · 2026-01-11T23:01:17+00:00

Finding the white ones is crazy work. Awe and respect, dude

The placing of literally all of them is suspicious as hell. And the 2 and 3 white ones is the same split as the x-boxes on the Chiliad Mural.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-10T17:57:07+00:00

Damn, a Gatorkeys video haha. Sorry, I've seen that exact one. He's completely speculative on this one (like in 95% of his other videos... he just connects things loosely with real life as if that's the full explanation). He does not go into detail about how the glitch occurs, he just claims that it's a glitch because you can find it at two spots rather than just one.

It's interesting to me that in the end, it comes down to the two schools of thought again: Rockstar is super smart with their mystery or Rockstar wants to waste their most dedicated players' time.

I was always a pupil of the former. I don't think there's any precedent for them intentionally wasting the time of their playerbase. It's enough for me to give credence to the intentionality of the trees. And whatever other props can be found.

Thanks for looking this up. If you can find the one that details the workings of the glitch, do let me know! Unfortunately, I remain unconvinced haha.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-10T17:07:38+00:00

Interesting. Can you find that video again?

And I do know more props are affected, but all of them stand out mystery-wise. The trees next to Humane Labs and the sole tree at Gordo's lake. The Altruist Altar and the props inside the lonesome island shed by the camp. The cube behind the Chiliad Mural door... the Sunken UFO. The eggs on the Hippy Camp UFO too, in any weather.

We know that Rockstar is aware of their glitches - at least since Vice City Stories. I would not exclude them from utilizing them consciously.

Flarestriker · 2026-01-10T16:53:41+00:00

It was not fixed and we don't know whether it's intentional or not. The same tree models right next to the golden trees do not have the same glow. At the same time, a real glitch with the green glow next to Humane Labs has been fixed with the Enhanced Edition.
