Like its predecessor, Goat Simulator 3 has showcased silly gameplay, full of surprises and quirky moments - but it also features some hilarious Easter eggs that can be easy to miss. With references ranging from other video games to popular media, to real-life personalities, there is an abundance of secrets to stumble across. Whether a player is lobbied up with friends, or simply playing by themselves, it's worth taking a couple of minutes to discover these priceless Goat Simulator 3 Easter eggs.
As one of the most senseless, yet arguably most enjoyable, games, Goat Simulator's sequel had many fans excited. At first, some were understandably confused as to why it was called Goat Simulator 3, and not Goat Simulator 2, seemingly skipping over a title in the series. However, this was largely forgotten about when the game saw a successful release on November 17. Since then, players have come across these hidden Easter eggs that somehow make Goat Simulator 3 even funnier.
Players Can Relive P.T. In Goat Simulator 3
The infamous demo and unfinished game project, P.T., provided gameplay that was far from lighthearted. The psychological horror experience - which many deemed a masterpiece of the genre - is a surprising reference in this comedic game. Of course, to make it a bit more fitting, Goat Simulator 3 put its own special spin on it and turned P.T., an example that unfinished games are scarier, into a hilarious Easter egg. As xGarbett showcases in this YouTube video, players can find a replica of the horror game's notorious hallway in a rest stop, located in the aptly-named Quiet Hill area. Inside, players will not be met with Lisa and her crying baby, but instead a violent grandma and a particularly flatulent adult in the restroom.
"Where The Heck Is Steve" Is Goat Simulator 3's Version Of Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is a well-known animated movie, loved by adults and children alike - but in Goat Simulator 3, the concept has taken a slightly darker turn. When in a ticket booth in the Downtown area, players can find a curious tape titled "Where The Heck Is Steve." Upon taking this tape to the movie theater and inserting it into the projector, a short video that players and friends in Goat Simulator 3's multiplayer modes might shed a tear to, whether it's from sadness or laughter. In this parody of Finding Nemo, the fish is indeed found, but in a sinister twist, he quickly becomes somebody's dinner.
Goat Simulator 3 Easter Egg Lets Players Become Jedi
Nothing is unthinkable in the world of Goat Simulator 3 - not even a lightsaber-wielding goat. In reference to the colossally popular franchise Star Wars, this Easter egg lets players live out their Jedi fantasies in an unexpected fashion. This one is slightly trickier to unlock, as it requires a bit of musical talent. Otherwise, players can follow the guide posted by xGarbett on YouTube. After climbing the bell tower in Brumehill Cemetery, players can use the three bells to imitate the "Imperial March," or Darth Vader's theme song. Doing so will unlock the "Imperial Mausoleum," where the epic Pridesaber 2.0 can be found and equipped. Though it probably doesn't compare to the coolest lightsabers from Star Wars games, it can be quite satisfying to mow down NPCs with this item in Goat Simulator 3.
Elon Musk Is "Mr. Snusk" In Goat Simulator 3
Elon Musk has been the topic of many online conversations over the years, especially after his recent purchase of Twitter didn't go quite as planned. This Easter egg proves that the residents of Goat Simulator 3's city have a nearly identical figure, who goes by the name of "Mr. Snusk."
In the Snusk Vineyard, there are several wind turbines scattered around a mansion, two of which are painted blue. If the player takes the batteries out of surrounding turbines and places them inside the two blue turbines - similar to activating the 5G towers in Goat Simulator 3 - the mansion will suddenly rise from the ground, revealing that it's actually built on top of a rocket-powered platform (which says "SPACE SUX" in blunt reference towards SpaceX). Upon entering the mansion, a hologram displays the text, "GREETINGS MR. SNUSK," alongside a floating Twitter icon.
Skyrim's Famous Opening Is In Goat Simulator 3
Anybody who has played Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim probably remembers the game's introductory sequence - and even those who haven't played it have likely seen it floating around the Internet. As it turns out, Goat Simulator 3 hasn't shied away from the notorious cart scene, either. The player wakes up in a wagon alongside three other goats, being driven by tractor through Fairmeadows Ranch as part of the game's prologue.
This is a clear nod to Skyrim's opening, where the player wakes up next to three prisoners in a horse-drawn wagon (which, at one point during the development of Skyrim's opening, was airborne thanks to bees). As if it wasn't obvious enough, the goat that sits across from the player says, "Hey! You're finally awake," which copies Skyrim's first line of dialogue almost word for word. Although this Goat Simulator 3 Easter egg is impossible to miss, it is still a hilarious reference that will resonate with a lot of players.
These are just a few of the amazing Easter eggs that Goat Simulator 3 has to offer. Over a dozen others have been discovered by players so far, and as they spend more time exploring the map - wreaking havoc in the lives of residents along the way, of course - more will surely be discovered. Since Goat Simulator 3 is a great party game, providing endless entertainment to all those involved, there is plenty of opportunity for players to stumble across secrets of their own volition. These Easter eggs have turned this already amusing game into an absolute blast - cementing Goat Simulator 3's place as another successful title in the beloved series.
