A prepper hideout currently triggers the hunt for mythical creatures in Far Cry 5 (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC): Allegedly, the legendary Bigfoot is said to roam in the Whitetail Mountains of Hope County. Sleuths on Reddit are on the trail of this mysterious story.
In the fictional Hope County in Far Cry 5, there is not only the Eden’s Gate cult, but also the Sasquatch, known as Bigfoot, is said to roam in Montana.
Clues come from a side mission in the Whitetail Mountains, where one of the residents is certain he has seen the legendary creature. This creates a real hype among players.
Bigfoot is allegedly living in the Whitetail Mountains
The side quest “On the Sasquatch Hunt” leads players to a prepper hideout in the mountains. West of Clagett Bay in the Whitetail Mountains, the area of Jacob Seed, you come across the locked cabin of Dick Dansky. He is sure he is on the trail of Bigfoot, whom he claims to have seen.
To open the cabin and grab the valuable loot, Dansky’s key must first be found. According to a message, the cabin’s resident is heading to a lookout point, as he reportedly heard noises outside.
And indeed: You also hear strange calls that seem to come from neither a human nor an animal. If you follow the path up to the lookout point, you will repeatedly find puddles of blood and dead wildlife.
Some players on Reddit claim to have also encountered Bigfoot tracks during the quest.
However, finding the key to the prepper cabin does not solve the mystery.
Players search for Bigfoot with the help of a map found in-game
In the cabin, you find a large map of the region, which can also be found in other buildings in the Whitetail Mountains.
However, the Sasquatch-crazy prepper marked spots and photos on his map where Bigfoot activities are said to have occurred.
Especially on Reddit, the discovery of the side mission and the map has already caused excitement. Players are already investigating the locations marked on the map and compiling information that could lead to finding the Sasquatch.
This is not the first time that mysterious mythical creatures are involved in Ubisoft titles: The relative of Bigfoot, the Yeti, already appeared in a DLC for Far Cry 4 and was also the subject of a week-long search in Ghost Recon: Wildlands.
Players in Far Cry 5 are not only crazy about Bigfoot, but also about shovels
