'GTA 5' News & Update: 'Grand Theft Auto' Easter Egg Decoded? Rockstar Game's Bigfoot Mystery Solved?

The Bigfoot mystery planted by Rockstar North developers in "GTA 5" has finally been uncovered by The Codewalkers. The "GTA 5" easter egg, which had been baffling "Grand Theft Auto" enthusiasts for years, revealed that the Rockstar Bigfoot is more than mere myth.

"GTA 5" is the biggest game of one of the most popular and most controversial franchises of all time. To say the least, "Grand Theft Auto" is a long-running game with a long-running heritage.

From as far back as "GTA San Andreas," rumors of a Bigfoot in the Los Angeles map of "Grand Theft Auto" has been going around. Although this "Grand Theft Auto" rumor drove a lot of people to madness at the time trying to find the elusive "GTA" Bigfoot, Rockstar seems to have added a twist to this legend.

Hackers have found that deep within the code of "GTA 5," are a number of clues that led players to believe would lead to a "Grand Theft Auto" easter egg. What that "GTA 5" easter egg was, they did not know.

Whatever "GTA 5" easter egg they found though was definitely put in by Rockstar North developers for programmers. The Rockstar developers effectively knew that they would reverse engineer the "GTA 5" code such as with the discovery of the "Grand Theft Auto" peyote and Bigfoot.

Kotaku reports that eventually, gamers such as those among The Codewalkers, found out that Rockstar included seven golden Bigfoot peyote plants in "GTA 5." Each "GTA 5" Bigfoot peyote was meant to be discovered in order: one peyote corresponded to a specific day of the week.

Furthermore, the "GTA 5" code indicated that each peyote plant should be eaten only under particular weather conditions: foggy or snowy. Each "GTA 5" peyote plant should only be eaten between 5:30 and 8:00 AM.

The "GTA 5" peyote discoveries were actually part of a mini game embedded in the "Grand Theft Auto" iteration. The object is for the "GTA 5" player to catch the murderous Bigfoot leaving victims in various locations of the "Grand Theft Auto" map.

When each golden peyote is eaten, the "GTA 5" player is himself turned into a Bigfoot. The Bigfoot "GTA 5" player can then use a roar to receive a responding cue from the mythical Bigfoot to determine where the beast made its latest kill.

The "GTA 5" player could then race to the location of the Bigfoot roar to try and catch the beast in what Games Radar tags as an epic face off. Several "Grand Theft Auto" gamers worked together to eventually catch and kill the "GTA 5" Bigfoot, which seemed to be a reference to Michael J Fox's film "Teen Wolf."
