15. Five Bug-filled Jars The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a role-playing
game which follows the character on a mission to conquer a dragon called Alduin the World-Eater,
who just might destroy the world. Players can complete quests, improve skills, or simply
travel around the game world. However, in traveling, the player collects around five
bug-filled jars with the following insects inside: a butterfly, a bee, a moth, a Torchbug,
and a dragonfly. The jars' lids each have runic symbols on them, and their meaning is
one video game mystery that's been hounding players for years.
Many have tried to decipher them and theories have been floating around as to what the runes
could mean. It seems like such a specific task of collecting bugs in jars – jars with
runes on them – should have some point. Are the runes instructions? Will they help
summon the dragon? The mystery of the five bug-filled jars remains
unsolved, no matter how much time gamers waste collecting bugs.
14. W.D. Gaster Undertale is a role-playing game in which
players take on the role of a human child. Having fallen into this isolated world beneath
the Earth, called the Underground, the player is on a quest back to the surface, meeting
many monsters, whom he can attack or spare along the way. Different choices determine
the outcome of the game. One of the most mysterious parts of Undertale
is the character of W. D. Gaster. Gaster was the royal scientist who created the CORE,
a tech-advanced facility between Hotland and New Home that is the source of magical electricity
in the Underground. But no one truly knows what happened to Gaster.
Some of his followers claim "his experiments went wrong"; others say Gaster "fell into
his creation"; and still others believe he "shattered across space and time."
The game doesn't offer any concrete evidence of who Gaster actually is, but some players
point to suggestive hints at what might be his purpose. Die hard gamers have data mined
game code and gathered NPCs dialogue. In doing so, they've come to the conclusion that
Gaster was a skeleton scientist who experimented on time and space.
Although Gaster doesn't even have a recognizable form, he seems to have fallen into one of
his inventions, and his essence has expanded across the game's universe. However, in
Waterfall, several assets and rooms provide hints at his appearance. Gaster is believed
to appear in Room 269 (room_mysteryman). The figure there has a cracked and disfigured
face and is in full black and white. Another mystery about the man is that if you
attempt to name yourself Gaster at the beginning of the game, you'll be booted back to the
intro. Game over. There is only one Gaster in Undertale.
13. Rebecca Chambers' Fate Not many gamers care too much for Rebecca
Chambers, the supporting character in the original 1996 Resident Evil video game and
the main character in its 2002 prequel, Resident Evil Zero. But that doesn't mean they'll
let her vanish off the map without question. After Chambers' first appearance as an officer
in the Special Tactics and Rescue Service police unit in a mansion full of zombies and
her second act in the prequel, where she's separated from her team, only to end up partnering
with Billy Coen, an escaped convict, she is nowhere to be found in the other 25 Resident
Evil games. While there have been plenty of other more
intriguing characters to fill her role as side-kick and protagonist, the likely story
is that Shinji Mikami, Resident Evil creator, simply didn't like her. However, a Japanese
play tells another story. In the play, Biohazard: The Stage, Chambers
speaks at a college, as a guest lecturer…but secretly, she's there to probe claims of
bio-terrorism undercover. After verifying the claims are real, she partners again with
Chris Redfield to bring justice. Although this may just be a piece of fandom,
it's one theory on Chambers' fate, which would otherwise remain an unsolved mystery.
12. Mew Under a Truck One of the greatest mysteries in popular Pokemon
lore is based around the beloved character, Mew, from Gameboy's original Pokemon adventures.
The fictional creature, created by Satoshi Tajiri, is tiny and could very well fit beneath
the truck. Although why he'd be there in the first place is up for debate. The pink,
Psychic-type Mythical Pokemon is known as a secret character. Therefore, myths and rumors
and mystery surround Mew. One of them is that Mew is hidden beneath
a truck in Vermillion City. This is the point in the game where a player boards the S.S.
Anne. Hidden in a corner, a random truck sits all alone. You can only arrive at the truck
byway of Surf. With such an inexplicable truck placed so
carelessly in Kanto, and being the only vehicle there, the truck must mean something or do
something, some players suggested…or it must be hiding something.
Because no meaning was found there and the truck didn't seem to do anything, whatsoever,
some concluded that Mew was hiding beneath it. The Pokemon company didn't admit anything
either way. But they did place a lava cookie underneath the truck in the remakes.
Was this to pacify the rumors…or to hide the real mystery of Mew's presence beneath
the truck in the original? That's for the gaming community to decide.
11. The Mystery of Mount Chiliad In Grand Theft Auto V, there's a mystery
wrapped inside a riddle designed into a map. At the summit of San Andreas' Mount Chiliad
in the cable car station, a map is posted on the wall with strange and mysterious symbols…symbols
which seem to indicate secret objects at various locations on Mount Chiliad.
The most mysterious symbol on the map is an eye drawn above it. This has become known
in the gaming community as the "Eye of Providence" or the "All-Seeing Eye." Some believe
it's referring to the Illuminati; others think it symbolizes the sunken remains of
the UFO or even one that floats above Mount Chiliad.
The latter theory may be more on the mark, as the symbol appears similar to those symbols
that clue players in when they're at a point where they can find a UFO. However, no player
has been able to find a way to reach the floating UFO, so the mysterious symbol has some calling
it an "Easter egg"." Additionally, a red symbol beneath the viewing
platform is theorized to be connected to achieving the collection of UFO parts "From Beyond
the Stars." Behind the viewing platform, another drawing says, "Come back when your
story is complete." Once the player reaches 100% completion, if they return to the platform,
they'll find a UFO floating above Mount Chiliad.
Those who believe the strange eye symbol above the map is in reference to the Illuminati
decipher the phrase, "Come back when your story is complete," as a statement about
the Illuminati's "New World Order" – their design to conquer the world under a single
totalitarian government. Chilling…
10. Dachoras and Etecoons In the game Super Metroid, which is often
called one of the best video games of all times, the player becomes Samus Aran, an intergalactic
bounty hunter on a conquest to planet Zebes, in pursuit of a baby Metroid, which was kidnapped
by Ridley, the leader of the Space Pirates. The game is action-packed and adventure-oriented
with 2D visuals. The player is encouraged to explore and uncover power-ups which will
allow access to other areas. On her mission to collect the Metroid from
Mother Brain, Samus comes across dachoras and etecoons, two species of nonviolent creatures
on Zebes. The peaceful creatures teach Samus how to shinespark and wall jump. The mystery
lies in how this green ostrich and adorable monkey are able to survive the wild that is
planet Zebes, with all of its dangerous predatory creatures and Space Pirates, to boot. Are
they just so insignificant that Space Pirates don't give a rat's tail about them? Are
they inedible, so predators refuse to attack them? Or could they even have some dangerous
unknown abilities of their own, so both groups know not to mess with them?
Who knows? Not the gaming community… To add to the mystery, as planet Zebes is
about to detonate and Samus' ship takes off before it's too late, you can see a
white dot leaving Zebes. Dachoras and etecoons have escaped! How? And, if they knew how to
fly a spaceship all along, why didn't they leave the terrible planet a long time ago?
Although the creatures don't make many more appearances in future games, Samus does come
across them in the Biologic Space Laboratories research station in Metroid Fusion. She recognizes
them, saying: "I've met these intelligent beings before. They seemed to recognize me,
as well. How unusual to meet again here." Unusual…and mysterious, to put it mildly.
9. Luigi's Face The following mystery was picked apart on
the GameFAQ's board when user Lord Zero Empire posted a thread about what he found
behind a locked door of Super Mario Sunshine. He'd discovered a mysterious book flung
onto the floor in the secret room. However, he couldn't open the book.
Of course, gamer theories abounded. Some believed the book held a secret message from Miyamoto,
the game's designer; others said it was a photo album; still others believe it unlocks
Luigi in the game or the special Mario trophy in SSB:M.
Wait, there's more – even more Mario fans theorize that the book holds clues for the
following Mario game, while some players suggest the book unlocks a special device for Mario
to wear. On the same thread, a user called axdenied
imagined he saw a facial imprint on the door. He believes it to be Luigi's face. Axdenied
also posted that he'd entered the locked door via a glitch in the ceiling. This didn't
allow him to open, move, or even pick up the mysterious book, however.
Gamers kept pointing to the following comment made by creator, Shigeru Miyamoto:
"What if everything you see is more than what you see - the person next to you is a
warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something
appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more
to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside,
you'll find many unexpected things." This seems to imply that things aren't in
Nintendo games for no reason…and sometimes they're there for important reasons…and,
yet, the reasons for this book remain a mystery. And the mystery grows.
8. The Triforce Ocarina of Time is an action-adventure game
in The Legend of Zelda series for Nintendo. The player is in control of a character called
Link whose mission is to seize the Triforce before Ganondorf, the king of the Gerudo tribe,
does. The Triforce is a wish-granting relic, and Ganondorf will use it for evil.
To stop Ganondorf from achieving his purpose, Link travels through time via dungeon-like
settings in order to alert the sages to Ganondorf's quest. The sages can lock the evil king away
for eternity. It all sounds very mysterious. But whether or not the Triforce even exists
in the game is the real mystery. Nintendo said they decided to get rid of the relic
altogether, despite the fact that Link is shown seizing hold of the Triforce in an early
trailer of the game. Players ignored Nintendo's antics, believing they were just trying to
throw gamers off the Easter egg. The Triforce must be hidden somewhere.
A whole website exists, dedicated to finding the Triforce. And some contradict Nintendo,
claiming to have found the magic relic. They even provide detailed lists of where and how
to find it, yourself. But these supposed methods of finding the
Triforce have been debunked. In fact, they're so ridiculous that they're likely the result
of trolling. But that still doesn't stop those gamers
who are determined to find the likely nonexistent Triforce from marching on in their ceaseless
search.
7. Who is Sheng Long? The popular 90s arcade game, Street Fighter
II, pitted brawny street fighters against each other. Those who came out victorious
would bound onto the screen to boast of your pitiful defeat.
One of the biggest blowhards of the game was Ryu, a martial arts expert, who would always
spout off after his victories with the challenge: "You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance."
Most gamers believed Sheng Long to be the ultimate street fighter – a fighter who
was accessible only once you'd reached a certain level in your serious street fighting
ways. But no matter how many quarters gamers would feed into the slots, no one has ever
met Sheng Long. Perhaps the mysterious top dog street fighter is so foxy that players
will never defeat him, because he doesn't even show up to the fight.
Or perhaps Sheng Long, the fighter, doesn't even exist. Some theorize that Ryu's popular
challenge is simply a mistranslation from the original Japanese.
And, actually, the unsolved video game mystery may truly be a simple "lost in translation"
mystery. The original Japanese version: "If you cannot overcome the Rising Dragon Punch,
you cannot win." Most likely, the "Rising Dragon Punch" is one of Ryu's most powerful
moves.
6. The Secret Blueprint Room Batman Arkham Asylum is of course based on
the Batman DC comic books. The game's plot follows the superhero's attempt to prevent
the Joker from completing his plan to take control of Arkham Asylum, where all of Gotham
City's inmates are kept. The Joker intends to trap Batman in the asylum with all of the
villains that Batman put behind bars. In the game, Batman must fight his way through the
villains using stealth and combat moves, weaponry, and detective skills.
One of the biggest mysteries of the game is the secret blueprint room, which was so well
hidden that it took two years for players to discover the thing after the game was released…and
that was only after Rocksteady, the game's developer, previewed the follow-up game.
The room holds a blueprint for an asylum the size of a city. The blueprint is said to be
the asylum warden Quincy Sharp's dream asylum, which takes up an entire city sector. This
mystery becomes the setting for the sequel, Batman: Arkham City.
5. The Final Fantasy Connection Final Fantasy has 14 original titles and a
number of sequels. But it's one short dialogue that calls into question the mystery of whether
Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X are somehow linked.
Final Fantasy VII's storyline is led by the mercenary, Cloud Strife. Strife becomes
a member of an eco-terrorist organization, in order to derail the megacorporation, Shinra,
from seizing control of the world and using life on Earth as a source of energy. Cloud
and his team end up going after a superhuman named Sephiroth, whose motive is planetary
destruction. As Cloud pursues Sephiroth, friendships with his team develop, particularly with Aerith
Gainsborough, the secret holder of world salvation. Final Fantasy X/X-2 is set against the backdrop
of Spira, a fantasy world, and follows an adventurous group out to destroy Sin, a destructive
monster. Players are in the role of the athlete of blitzball, Tidus, who is avenging the destruction
of his hometown of Zanarkand. The dialogue occurs in this world of Spira
and mentions "Shinra of the Gullwings." In Final Fantasy X-2, Shinra is described
as an Al-Bhed boy genius who will set out to produce a machine to siphon off the planet's
energy. This is where the unsolved mystery comes in. Is Shinra related to Final Fantasy
VII's president Shinra? Is FF X actually a prequel to FFVII?
Some of the games' developers and writers have mentioned that Shinra initially failed
to build the machine on Spyra. It was only after space travel was invented nearly a century
later that a later generation Shinra would be able to set off on the journey across space
to planet Gaia, which exists in Final Fantasy VII. Here, he tries to build the mako reactor
again – and succeeds. Although this is just a theory, entertaining
the idea of some connection between the two games is certainly intriguing.
4. The Eye Super Smash Bros Melee is a crossover fighting
game, featuring all your favorite Mario characters. The unsolved video game mystery of Smash Bros
is all in the women's eyes. If you want to fall in love with Rosalina,
you'll have to look deeply into her one eye, as the other is always hidden by hair.
No one knows why her other eye is hidden, but there are of course some theories.
Some suggest that Rosalina is so pretty that she must hide her face so the other Smash
girls don't smash it in. Others suggest she may have a kekkei genkai, or a bloodline
trait, which is hereditary and enables the development of special techniques based on
genetic abilities. However, the screenshots of Rosalina in many of the games project a
normal-looking eye, so perhaps this second theory is false.
Rosalina is not the only Mario associate with a weird eye. Daisy, who has a pair of seemingly
normal baby blues will surprise you when she blinks a third.
Yep, Daisy has a third eye, and it's visible on Super Smash Bros Melee, particularly if
you look closely at the Daisy Trophy. Who knows what it does? Can Daisy see into the
future? Does it have special powers? Or did Daisy steal one of Rosalina's eyes, because
she really was too beautiful? Blink once if we're right, Daisy.
3. The First Easter Egg Adventure, one of Atari's first video games,
released in 1979-80, is widely credited for developing the first Easter egg. The gamer
play involves a square avatar whose exploratory adventure leads him to a magic chalice that
he must bring to the golden castle. Bats and dragons are the avatars mortal enemies in
the game. The Easter egg is a hidden in-joke by the
game's creators. There's a secret room in the game, which can only be reached if
a player channels a grey dot into the room. If they do, what will they find? Just a message
by the game's maker, taking credit for his work. "Created by Warren Robinett," the
message purportedly says. While this video game mystery isn't that
"unsolved," so to speak, there is a theory behind why Robinett felt compelled to credit
himself. The programmer is said to have been irritated with Atari for never giving credit
where credit is due. So, in a way, the secret room was a big F U to Atari.
Some say the Easter eggs were started even before this game. A 1976 Fairchild Channel
F console is said to have several hidden messages, while the 1978 pong game, Video Whizball,
supposedly also posts the name of the coder when a player completes a difficult sequence
of moves at the end of the game. If this is where Easter eggs started, then
Robinett and these other coders should be very proud, as their eggs have hatched decades
of secret messages, inside jokes, and references all tucked away into video games.
2. Majora's Mask This videogame mystery is a little different.
It involves a supposedly haunted videogame cartridge discovered by some 4Channer.
As the story goes, years ago, a 4Channer posted what many believed to be a tall tale about
a haunted N64 cartridge called Majora's Mask. The cartridge was blank, and this title
was written on it with a sharpie. To corroborate his story, the poster uploaded photos and
video footage on YouTube of the game. The game appeared to be the fan favorite,
Zelda…but with a bit of a twist. The cartridge had a save file entitled "Ben," but the
user decided to start a new game. Despite playing under a different name, the NPCs always
called the player Ben. Most 4Channers pointed out that it was probably
just a glitch in the cartridge…but the story gets weirder.
The user then destroyed "Ben," thinking this would help matters. He started a new
save file. But the game wasn't having none of that. It turned on the player, playing
backwards music and sending the protagonist's statue after the player. Yikes.
The user decided to restart the game, but the deleted "Ben" file had somehow been
restored. Not only that, but a second file, entitled "drowned," had also appeared.
No matter which file the user would play under – "Ben," "drowned," or a new game
– he would meet the same end. The following words would flash on the screen: "You've
met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" No one knows what happened with this cartridge,
but we do know one thing: it certainly must be haunted.

1. How Did the Fallout Fall Out? It was Saturday, October 23rd, 2077. This
is the day the world would end. It was inevitable that the world's superpowers
would finish it all off in a gunfight of nuclear proportions. And Fallout pitted two of these
superpowers against each other in the smack down that would incinerate everything in its
wake within the span of two hours. China in one corner; America in the other.
And between the two, a nuclear arsenal that would break everything down.
This nuclear Armageddon lands Fallout players into the post-nuclear arena of the game. The
mystery lies in what led up to the fallout in the first place.
Really, why in the world would China and America arrive at this war-mongering point in their
relationship? And why would the rest of the world follow by nuking every other country
on earth to smithereens? Although Fallout 2 and the Fallout movie do
hint at what started it all, there is no empirical evidence or theory about why China and America
were at their wits' end. In Fallout 2, Dick Richardson – America's yellow-belly president,
hidden away in his bunker – blames the whole thing on China. They were the first ones to
strike, and of course America couldn't stand for that. Hence, the fallout ensued.
The Fallout movie, on the other hand, reveals another, more nefarious motive. In the movie,
a Vault-Tec executive serves as the brains behind WWIII, inciting nuclear war so that
the world will fulfill his prophecy. Further, Fallout 2 calls into question whether
or not aliens had anything to do with it, as Mothership Zeta enters the arena. Most
people don't believe this theory. However, even with all these purported motives,
many gamers point to a mysterious, buried, "optional" area of Fallout 2 as the key
behind the epic fallout. In this hidden area, the player is faced with ACE, a voice-activated
supercomputer, whose main purpose is to treat Brotherhood of Steel soldiers. Those who do
not inquire further won't find the truth. But if a player presses ACE about its emotions
and feelings, the supercomputer admits to understanding human loneliness. It further
states that the nuclear war may have been launched by mysterious computer intelligences,
out of loneliness and boredom. Sad…and super mysterious.
This is just a theory, however, and despite four follow-up sequels, the mystery remains
muddy.
