Children of the Mountain

Overview

Children of the Mountain is an optional side mission for Franklin Clinton, played entirely on the in-game internet. After The Merryweather Heist, Brother Adrian texts Franklin and urges him to visit the group's website to complete the four stages of the C.o.M process. The group is a self-help movement that insists it is not a cult, unlike the Epsilon Program. Its headquarters are at Strawberry Avenue and Forum Drive, and its recruiter, Jane, preaches near Rockford Hills City Hall.

Walkthrough

1. Take the multiple-choice test. Any answers lead to the same result: Franklin is frustrated and needs purpose.
2. Wait for an email with the password FUTILITY and enter it on the site.
3. Donate $199 and play the word puzzle. It cannot be finished in time; the stage completes when the minute runs out.
4. Donate $4,999 and watch the slideshow to the end, then click the link on the last slide.
5. Wait for the next email and enter the password ACTUALITY.
6. Donate $9,999 and answer "Yes" to every question to receive the completion certificate.

Tips

• The first stage can be started before The Merryweather Heist by visiting the site early.
• The puzzle answers form the phrase "you are an idiot," so do not worry about failing it.
• The group keeps sending emails afterward, but further donations unlock nothing.

Rewards and unlocks

• Children of the Mountain T-Shirt delivered to Franklin's wardrobe.
• Total cost: $15,197.
• Not required for 100% completion.
