As with its predecessors,Goat Simulator 3is a ridiculous game of licking and headbutting things that should probably be left alone and getting your goat into mischief. The maps are even bigger in this version, with plenty of wild situations to walk in on and people to upset.
Within such a large world, there are plenty of secrets and mundane-looking spots that can trigger massive changes to the game. verify you don’t miss any of the action by sticking your horns even where they don’t belong.
8Founding Father’s Lighthouse
You’d be hard-pressed to miss the giant golden statue of a founding father on Libertarian Island sporting an equally golden fishing rod. It’s not difficult to mount the statue — just look for the fans in the ground behind it and float your way up. Once on top, carefully trot along to the reel and headbutt it to get it going, then lick it and pull. This will start the fishing rod automatically pulling up a hidden lighthouse from Michael’s Bay.
Once it’s fully exposed, your goat can grind the fishing line to the lighthouse summit to explore this new area. Try interacting with the bulb for some fun camera effects.
7Fairmeadow’s Ranch: Tree Of Knowledge
West of Redneck Haven, you can find an idyllic field hidden between two cliffs. Here grows something akin to the tree of knowledge, along with the ever-tempting forbidden fruit. Goats aren’t known for their good judgment or discerning taste, so lick that gleaming apple for a whole world of problems.
This causes a curse to be inflicted upon the poor goat, randomly striking you with lightning, accompanied by an accusatory finger jabbing at and heckling you. If you’re tired of being set on fire, then the only way to remove the curse is to exit the game to the title screen or close it completely. Upon restarting, the curse of knowledge will be lifted.
6Mornwood Falls: Let’s Play P.T
Within an unassuming, dilapidated Rest Stop in Quiet Hills, you’re able to accidentally find yourself playing the psychological horror gameP.T.If you’ve never gathered the courage to play it yourself, or watch someone else from behind your couch, then this looping corridor is much more confusing than frightening. The Horror Corridor can be found by entering a small battered building on the side of the road in Mornwood Falls.
Whether you trot, skip, or scoot your way around this house, you’ll find that the only way to progress is to keep entering the same door over and over again. The decor and atmosphere will change very subtly each time you reenter the corridor. Try peeking in the bathroom door when it creaks open — you won’t regret it.
5Mornwood Falls: Crash Site
To access this area, you’ll need to complete the Global Warming event first, the cut scene that will point out exactly where the crash site has been hidden all along south of the sawmill. Underneath the glaciers on top of a mountain and outside the metropolis sits a spaceship. When did it crash? No one knows, but it’s in your best interest to headbutt it until something happens.
Smashing your goat head into the glowing green spot will cause alien goo to rain down over Mornwood Falls. These globules are ultra bouncy and can cause everyday objects to become bouncy too — useful for getting to awkward places. You’ll also be awarded a mini alien overlord to wear on your head. This isn’t eventhe most bizarre thing in this game.
4Goatenburg: Inside The Whale
To enter the belly of the beast, you’ll need to swim out into Goatenburg bay and, you guessed it, headbutt the red buoy. This alerts the whale, resulting in you getting gulped down and trapped inside with all the other innocent civilians and debris. There are a few boats and wrecked buildings to parkour over and people to interact with. However, your main goal is getting spat back out into the real world.
To do this, you’ll need to hop over to a dinghy boat and bounce up until you’re face-to-face with the whale’s uvula. Now, either jetpack propel or leap into headbutting range. Repeat this three times: each successful headbutt will cause the whale to shake and get angry. Eventually, you and everyone else will be projectile vomited back to safety.
3Goatenburg: Hoofer Dam Lake
In between Goatenburg and Mornwood Falls, you can find a circus cannon facing the bay beneath the Hoofer Dam. The owner of the cannon has no qualms allowing a farmyard animal to shoot itself out of it either. Just lick the Load flap at the back and aim at the Hoofer Dam. It’s not a very sturdy structure, as one good headbutt will crack the whole thing, and spew the artificial lake back into the sea.
There will be a short cutscene showing the water draining away, revealing the lake bed. If you climb back up and explore, you’ll find the sunken civilization of Atlantico within a crumbling stone temple. Be wary of traps.
2Goatenburg: Let’s Play CS:GO Dust 2
In order to headbutt Mahatma Sandhi, first you must go to the beach. Goatenburg Beach has some great sandcastles, one of which could use some improvement. Headbutting sand onto it will do the trick, and unlock a whole new game. At this point, you can enter through the portcullis to play some knockoffCS:GO.
You’ll spawn on the Dust 2 map with sand people running at you from every direction, with hilarious names like Sandy, Sanderson and Mahatma Sandi. Wash the enemy team out to sea to win your freedom, and maybe some new gear.
1Dilbo’s Journey
The most elaborate and magical of crossovers begins in a hole in the ground. South-west of Yakedo Hot Springs, and up a little path, you’ll find the telltale circular door of a hobbit named Dilbo. Entering his home without party business will open a portal to Mount Doom right beneath your own home at Windtop. Fortunately, the ring is already there waiting for youonce you bounce across the magmaand headbutt Golem off the ledge.
Equipping the Ring of Purity like a halo will grant you access to another secret area, beneath the lava — honest. This time you’ll enter the wizard afterlife of Harry Potter, so beware of possible spoilers.
