Video game Easter eggs, by definition, are difficult to find. Otherwise, they wouldn't be "hidden content" -- they would just be "content." But sometimes, game developers go way beyond "a fun little secret," and venture firmly into "paranoid recluse hiding jars of his own urine" territory. Some of these secrets weren't found for years, or even decades ...

In Grand Theft Auto V, there are 27 wild peyote plants hidden on the map. If you want to take a break from repeatedly ramping ice cream trucks off a mountain for some reason, you can eat one of these plants and experience a "hallucination" which lets you play the game as an animal. You can explore the map as a dog, or a dolphin, or even a bird with a fully operational "shit on people's heads" mechanic. Pretty cool, right? You probably even found some of these!

Please. We're not talking about that paltry secret. We're talking about the crazy super secret hidden within the already-secret secrets. When players accessed the code for the game, they discovered coordinates for a few plants that nobody had ever found, accompanied by a cryptic clue within the code itself.

It took a long time, but eventually players figured out the conditions required for the mystery golden peyote to appear. You must complete the whole game at least once, you have to have collected all the regular peyote already, and you have to have completed the mission "The Last One," in which you hunt down a guy in a Bigfoot costume. Oh, and also, the plants only appear on a certain day of the week, at a certain time, and only if the weather is set to snow or fog, which is itself next to impossible without a cheat code.

If you possess the patience and lack the job to meet those criteria, the game lets you play as Bigfoot.

And it's still not over! If you collect all the golden peyote, you access a secret mission in which you, as Bigfoot, have to hunt down and kill Michael J. Fox's character from Teen Wolf.
