Monkey Mosaics (Enhanced Edition Only)
Uncover the hidden primate art scattered across Los Santos and Blaine County in the Enhanced Edition of Grand Theft Auto V. These unique collectibles offer a fun diversion and a chance to explore the game's vast world. Finding all of them unlocks a special reward, so grab your binoculars and get ready for a city-wide scavenger hunt.
The Monkey Mosaics are a set of 50 unique collectibles that can only be found in the Enhanced Edition of Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, Xbox One, PC). These are small, stylized images of monkeys that are often hidden in plain sight, requiring a keen eye to spot. They are spread across both Los Santos and Blaine County, encouraging players to explore every nook and cranny of the map.
To aid in your search, it's highly recommended to use a vehicle with good visibility, such as an SUV or a helicopter. Many mosaics are located on rooftops, high ledges, or in obscure alleyways. Some are also found in more public areas, but often camouflaged against similarly colored backgrounds. Keep an eye out for the distinctive red and white pattern of the mosaics.
The primary benefit of collecting all 50 Monkey Mosaics is unlocking the 'The Space Ranger' outfit for Franklin, Michael, and Trevor. Additionally, completing this collectible set contributes to your overall game completion percentage. While there isn't a specific in-game map marker for individual mosaics until you are very close, the general areas are consistent.
Here are some general tips for finding them:
- Explore rooftops: Many mosaics are placed on the edges of buildings.
- Check alleyways: Narrow passages often hide these collectibles.
- Look for unusual textures: The mosaics stand out once you know what to look for.
- Use a helicopter: For hard-to-reach areas, aerial reconnaissance is invaluable.
- Listen for audio cues: While not explicitly stated, some players report subtle audio cues when near a collectible.
The game doesn't provide a direct tracker for individual mosaics, so patience and thoroughness are key. Many players find it helpful to tackle this collectible in sections of the map, rather than trying to find them all randomly. For instance, focus on one district of Los Santos at a time, then move to the surrounding areas.
Remember, this collectible is exclusive to the Enhanced Edition. If you're playing on PS3 or Xbox 360, you won't find these particular mosaics.
