This past Tuesday marked the release of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 5, and it’s pretty safe to say I’m already addicted. With its massive, open world map and choose-your-own-adventure gameplay, the latest installment in the Far Cry franchise provides endless potential for entertainment. In many ways, it’s Grand Theft Auto in a whole new setting.
Far Cry 5 takes you into Hope County, Montana, which is being overrun by a creepy cult led by a Charles Manson-like figure. Or is it actually IT who is running the show?
GameRant informs us that Far Cry 5 has *at least* two Easter egg tributes to Stephen King’s IT, the first of which is a red balloon at the entrance of a sewer. The site details, “To find the first one, players need to head east from the crop circle in John’s region and they will come across a sewer pipe with a red balloon floating in front of it.”
Another IT Easter egg can be found inside O’Hara’s Haunted House…
“O’Hara’s Haunted House can be found in Faith’s region, just northwest of Dead Man’s River. Complete the prepper stash mission here by climbing into the second floor of the house, turning the power on, entering the barn, and walking through the haunted house attraction full of jump scares. At the end of the haunted house, players will find another red balloon, along with an interesting note sitting on the chair.”
The note is titled “Clown Thoughts,” and we’ll let you discover it for yourself.
Probably a legit party in there… #Farcry5 pic.twitter.com/pU8K918iUh
