After completing you can also immediately unlock one more cheevo by entering Director Mode with Cris Formage
This achievement can only be obtained while playing as Michael and involves a very long process of tedious missions and monetary donations. To begin, pull up your in-game cellphone and access the internet. Type in "Epsilon" in the search bar, click on the first website that comes up, and complete the Epsilon Program Identity Evaluation on the homepage. As soon as you quit out of the internet, there should be a new Strangers and Freaks mission on your map in Raton Canyon. Approach the red truck there and watch the cutscene that ensues. Following this cutscene, Michael will receive an email informing him to donate $500 to the Epsilon website in order to unlock the next mission.
After making the donation and a few in-game days have passed, head to the next Epsilon icon on your map near the corner of Clinton Avenue and Alta Street in Downtown Vinewood. Complete this mission and you will need to donate another $5,000 through their website. During the next mission, you be required to deliver five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage in Vinewood Hills. You will be sent a photo of each vehicle to your cellphone in order to help track them down. If you have a lot of spare cash, access the internet on your cellphone and open the "Travel and Transport" menu. Go to the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website and buy the following vehicles:
- Enus Super Diamond - $250,000
- Pegassi Vacca - $240,000
- Benefactor Surano - $99,000
These purchased cars will be sent directly to Michael's garage. If you do not have the cash for these three vehicles, all five can be found throughout the city of Los Santos (if you need further guidance, the video below shows these vehicle locations starting at 2:31):
- The Pegassi Vacca can be found parked on Wild Oats Drive in front of a house in Vinewood Hills
- The Benefactor Surano is sitting in a parking lot in the cul-de-sac of the Lake Vinewood Estates
- The Declasse Tornado can be found in a parking lot at the "Domestic - Japanese - European" Garage in Hawick (2 blocks East of Ammu-Nation gun shop 2/9 on map legend)
- The Enus Super Diamond is parked behind Leopold's on Dorset Drive in Rockford Hills (2 blocks South of Ponsonbys clothing store 1/3 on the map legend)
- The Double-T Motorcycle is parked in one of the spaces next to the Lifeinvader offices on Boulevard Del Perro.
After delivering all five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage, you will need to complete another short mission. After this, you will need to make two different $5,000 donations to the website for the next mission to appear, which tasks you with buying the Epsilon Robes from their website for $25,000. You must now wear the robes for 10 straight days, so return to Michael's house and simply sleep for 10 days straight in order to speed this up. Once this task has been completed, you will receive a text from Jimmy Boston asking you to go Fort Zancudo; complete the next mission there. Following this, proceed to the next Epsilon icon when it appears on your map and make sure you are still wearing the Robes. Talk to the crew there and they will inform you that you need to wander 5 miles in the desert. Distance covered is tracked onscreen above your radar after every 0.1 mile.
As a general tip, try wrapping a rubber band around the controller's thumbsticks while walking in the desert. This will cause Michael to walk in a circle so that you do not have to sit there during the mission. Just be careful not to wonder outside the desert of the tracker will reset.
After completing this dreadful task, make sure you have $50,000 on hand and head over to the Epsilon Center in West Vinewood when the mission appears. Complete this final mission in any way you'd like (to obtain the Gold Medal for this mission, you'll want to drive to the drop off point, kill the helicopter crew, security guards and back up security, and then drive off with the money) and the achievement is finally yours!

After delivering all five vehicles to the Epsilon Garage, you will need to complete another short mission.

After completing this dreadful task, make sure you have $50,000 on hand and head over to the Epsilon Center in West Vinewood when the mission appears. Complete this final mission in any way you'd like (to obtain the Gold Medal for this mission; drive to the drop off point, kill the helicopter crew, security guards and back up security, and then drive off with the money) and the achievement is finally yours!
This is a relatively complex trophy, you are required to complete numerous side-quests for the Epsilon Program. To begin with you need to be playing as Michael and have a total of $90,500 to earn this trophy, however, completing the final mission can net you as much as $2,100,000 so it is well worth the investment.
This mission will be detailed in small steps, if you wish to make use of the video then clicking the timestamp next to each step will take you to that specific step in the video.
Step 1 (0:05)
Open the internet browser of your in-game phone by pressing then go to the Epsilon website by typing in "epsilonprogram.com". Once there scroll down, click "Evaluate Your identity" and complete the evaluation. It doesn't matter which answers you pick, the end result is the same.
Step 2 (0:45)
A icon will show up in Raton Canyon after a while (about 12 in-game hours) so travel there.
Step 3 (1:09)
Approach the red truck and watch the cutscene, afterwards you will get an e-mail. Open the attached link by pressing and donate $500 to the Epsilon website.
Step 4 (1:39)
The Epsilon symbol () will appear on the map after around 12 in-game hours have elapsed. Go back to your safehouse and choose to sleep a few times and it should appear on your map. When it does, go there.
Step 5 (1:54)
After the cutscene you will get another e-mail, open the link and this time donate $5,000 to the Epsilon website.
Step 6 (2:12)
Go to the next (again, this will take a while until it shows up on your map).
Step 7.1 (2:31)
You will now need to collect 5 vehicles for the Epsilon Program. Luckily, they all have fixed spawns. Once you find a vehicle, take it to the symbol that appears and park it in the garage. The vehicles can be collected in any order you like but this order will follow the video.
The first vehicle is the Declasse Tornado which can be found here:
Step 7.2 (3:16)
The second vehicle is the Pegassi Vacca, found here:
Step 7.3 (3:36)
The third vehicle is the Benefactor Surano, found here:
Step 7.4 (3:57)
The fourth vehicle is the Enus Super Diamond, found here:
Step 7.5 (4:21)
Make sure you create a new save file before you pick up this vehicle!
This is where the trophy can glitch, as after you deliver it to the Epsilon garage there is a chance that you will never get the email which leads you to Step 8. If you deliver this vehicle and never get the email, reload your save and keep trying until you can progress [Fixed with Patch 1.01].
The fifth vehicle is the Dinka Double-T, found here:
Step 8 (4:58)
Travel to the next icon after waiting a short while.
Step 9 (5:18)
Complete the mission by searching for three items (a TV, a car battery and a shoe) with the extraterrestrial device provided. Hold to aim it and (if you are going in the right direction) the closer you get to the item the more the blue bars on the device will fill up, the beeping noise will become more rapid and your controller will vibrate quicker.
Step 10 (7:21)
Donate $10,000 to the Epsilon website (two donations of $5,000).
Step 11 (7:40)
Go to the next symbol after sleeping a few times.
Step 12 (7:57)
After the cutscene you will get another email. Open the attached link with and buy the Robes for $25,000 from the Epsilon website by clicking on the "Click here to purchase official Epsilon Robes set" link then "Buy Robes".
Step 13 (8:23)
After the robes have been delivered to Michael's house in Vinewood (this takes 24 hours), get them from Michael's wardrobe under the "Outfits" tab. You need to wear them for 10 cumulative days, the easiest way to do this is to keep going to sleep until 10 days have passed at which point you will get an email leading to the next step.
Do not switch characters during the 10 day period as it is highly likely that Michael will have changed out of the robes into his normal clothes once you switch back.
Step 14 (8:56)
Go to the next symbol after wearing the robes for 10 days.
Step 15 (9:25)
Complete the mission when you get there, which is extremely simple and requires you to deliver the plane to Jimmy Boston at a nearby airfield.
Step 16 (9:55)
Go to the next icon after sleeping a few times.
Step 17 (10:08)
You will have to walk (or run) 5 miles in the desert wearing Epsilon robes. You know you are in the right place when you get a notification saying "Now inside the Epsilonism pilgrimage zone". To rack up 5 miles you can either: Stand at one end of the desert and set your waypoint at the other then run back and forth or you can rubber-band your controller so that you don't have to do it yourself. After you have travelled 5 miles, a notification saying "5 miles walked in the desert - pilgrimage complete" will pop up in the bottom left corner and you will get a phone call.
Step 18 (10:54)
Go to the final icon, which will appear immediately this time.
Step 19 (11:05)
Finish the mission, there are three ways of going about this and completing any of the three will give you the trophy:
A) Deliver the vehicle to the target destination - The reward is an old rusty tractor.
B) Escape with the blue Epsilon car before going to the target destination - You receive $1,000,000.
C) Kill everyone at the target destination and escape the cops - You get all of the money ($2,100,000) and fulfil the Gold Medal criteria. You have to initiate the shoot-out with the Epsilon guards yourself.
It is recommended to go for "C" to get a good return on both your time and monetary investment in this long side-quest. Bear in mind that you cannot replay this mission and choose another option for the money so make sure you kill everyone the first time if you want to go down that route.
To begin with, you should probably visit the cult’s website - www.epsilonprogram.com (inside the game), which, by the way, exists (like many other sites from R* games). In order to visit a site, you need to enter part of its name into the search on Eyefind. There is a survey on the site “Rate your essence”, the answers to the questions do not affect anything, the answer is static. After passing the test, you will see the result, and under the result in a different font there are instructions, quite well known in some circles, on how to meet cult members. As an alternative, you can meet a random character, a preacher, who will tell you about the cult.
When visiting the site, Trevor will say that he can no longer be saved, and Franklin will say that he is not so stupid.
So:
I) Later, a question mark for the task will appear on the map (designation of the task of random characters).
Upon arrival at this place, Michael will see a red car, as in the description. Having completed the necessary actions, he learns part of the truth.
II) For the next step you will need to donate $500 through the cult website and wait a couple of days.
III) Later a new icon will appear on the map. After the meeting, you will be asked to help the cult with another contribution through the site in the amount of $5,000
IV) During the next meeting, you will be asked to deliver 5 types of transport.
Goals:
1 - Benefactor Surano - You can also buy it on the gaming Internet
2 - Pegassi Vacca - You can also buy it on the gaming Internet
3 - Dinka Double-T
4 - Declasse Tornado
5 - Enus Super Diamond - You can also buy it on the gaming Internet
V) After some time, the cult will contact you. The next mysterious meeting awaits you.
VI) The cult needs $10,000, you are asked to add the amount through the website.
VII) After the next meeting, get ready to buy an Epsilon robe/pajamas for $25,000 and wear it for 10 game days; you can, if you wish, rewind the time when saving (+6 hours). Notifications that you have worn the mantle for 24 hours will appear on the first four days and on the tenth day. A message will be received later.
VIII ) Next meeting, piloting skill will be required.
IX) After your next meeting, prepare to learn the truth by running 8 kilometers in the desert. Requires the Epsilon Robe and the Brother-Brother-issued Medallion. As you move towards your goal, notifications will appear about how far you have run, followed by auto-saving.
X) Later, you will be given an appointment at the Epsilon Center, where Chris Formage will meet you, provided you bring more money with you. Next, you are faced with a choice - to accept the truth or not.
Between stages it takes from 12 hours to a couple of days until the corresponding symbol appears on the map. If you have doubts about whether progress is being made on a task or not, then during your actions (for example, on the site, while wearing a mantle, running in the desert), pay attention to the lower right corner - if you are making progress, an autosave icon will appear.
It should only be added that the Cult of Epsilon is one of the Easter egg mysteries (rather, of course, jokes, even practical jokes) introduced into the GTA universe by developers starting with GTA: San Andreas. For those who are interested, there are many articles and videos on the Internet, doubts, statements, etc. I tried to write the hint as concisely as possible, in order to avoid plot spoilers that will not allow you to fully experience the unknown, trust/doubt, and even some mysticism while completing tasks.
This is interesting:
After any ending, Marnie (a former drug addict, epsilonist) will tell us that we should write a treatise, some kind of work dedicated to the cult. In fact, this is not an empty message, there are actually 10 treatises scattered throughout the game, I came across the first of them at the top of the mountain, on the observation platform (note the drawing in the form of an eye under the platform and the inscription written in chalk on the back end "COME BACK WHEN YOUR STORY IS COMPLETE"), not far from the second cable car... Then a message comes from Marnie with the following clue. Tubes with treatises can be collected by any character, but messages are sent to Michael.
It is very difficult to find all the Epsilon treatises using brief clues, so here is the Video .
As a reward, you will receive a message congratulating you and giving you a link www.epsilonprogram.com/tract (in the game), where you can read Epsilon's Treatise on the 9th Paradigm. Year 157.
Chris Formage is present in GTA ONLINE and helps players return to the mortal world after death.
