Cheats & Secrets
Overview
Goat Simulator 3 is packed with absurd cheat codes, hidden secrets, and Easter eggs that amplify the chaos. Unlike many modern games, Coffee Stain North embraces old‑school cheats—most are entered via a special key combination on PC, while console players must rely on hidden in‑game actions or collectibles. This guide covers every confirmed cheat, unlockable secret, secret goat transformations, developer‑intended Easter eggs, and hidden areas. All cheats are tested on the latest version (as of 2025) on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
> Note: Using cheats disables achievements/trophies for the current session. You can safely experiment by quitting to the main menu and reloading your save – progress is not permanently affected.

Cheat Codes (PC Keyboard Commands)
On PC (Steam/Epic Games Store), Goat Simulator 3 supports a set of classic‑style cheat codes. Do not type them in a chat box or console – simply press the keys in sequence while playing (pausing is not required). The game will display a confirmation message.
| Cheat Code | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `IAMLITTLETOUGH` | Unlocks Spoiled Brat goat (child version in tuxedo). | Works in single‑player only. |
| `ILIKETRAINS` | Spawns a massive toy train that chases you. | Very loud – can crash on low‑end PCs. |
| `IWANNAGOSKYDIVING` | Summons a tornado that lifts everything (including you) into the air. | Great for chaos – can be cancelled by ragdolling. |
| `IWANTTOBEASNAKE` | Transforms goat into a giant snake; you slither and can poison NPCs. | Movement is slower; re‑enter to revert. |
| `IWANTTOBEABIRD` | Turns goat into a small bird (flight enabled). | Space to flap; hold to glide. |
| `IWANTTOBEAFISH` | Turns goat into a fish – swims faster and can breathe underwater. | Only useful in water. |
| `IWANTTOBEAGRASSHOPPER` | Gives super‑high jumps and wall‑clinging. | Stacks with other movement mutations. |
| `IWANTTOBEAMONKEY` | Unlocks Monkey Goat – can climb any vertical surface and throw poop. | Poop has a knockback effect. |
| `IWANTTOBEABEAN` | Turns goat into a giant baked bean – bouncy and sticky. | Very silly; physics may glitch. |
| `GIVEITTOME` | Gives you 10,000 Goatbucks (in‑game currency). | Can be used multiple times. |
| `SOMUCHMONEY` | Gives you 100,000 Goatbucks. | One‑time per session? Works repeatedly on PC. |
| `KARMA` | Resets your Karma meter to zero (for the No Karma challenge). | Useful for completing related achievements. |
| `NOCLIP` | Toggles noclip mode – fly through walls. | Hold Space to fly upward; Ctrl to descend. |
| `TOGGLEDEBUG` | Shows a debug HUD with coordinates, FPS, and object info. | Use `NOCLIP` + `TOGGLEDEBUG` for exploration. |
| `RESPAWN` | Instantly respawns your goat at the last checkpoint. | Works even if stuck in geometry. |
| `TIMESCALE [value]` | Changes game speed (e.g., `TIMESCALE 0.5` for slow‑mo). | Default is 1.0. Enter `TIMESCALE 1` to reset. |
| `GODMODE` | Makes your goat invincible (no damage from falls, explosions, etc.). | Enemies still ragdoll you but no health loss. |

Console Commands (Unsupported but Functional)
On PC, you can open a developer console by pressing ~ (tilde) during gameplay. This is not officially documented, but many console commands work. Be warned – using them can cause crashes or save corruption. Back up your save file first! (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\GoatSimulator3\Saved\SaveGames\`)
| Console Command | Effect |
|---|---|
| `stat fps` | Toggles FPS display. |
| `stat unit` | Shows frame time breakdown. |
| `r.vsync 0` | Disables V‑Sync. |
| `sg.ResolutionQuality 50` | Lowers resolution scaling for performance. |
| `t.maxfps 144` | Caps framerate at 144 FPS. |
| `open [mapname]` | Teleports to another map (e.g., `open backyard`). |
| `spawnactor BP_Goat` | Spawns an extra goat (local split‑screen style). |
| `destroyall` | Removes all NPCs and props (system heavy). |
Unlockable Secrets (Console & PC)
These are not typed codes but accomplished through specific in‑game actions. They are safe – no penalty for using them.
Secret Goat: The Disco Goat
- How to unlock: Find all 5 hidden disco balls on San Angora (located on rooftops, inside caves, etc.) and headbutt each one. After the fifth, a giant disco ball appears in the main square. Lick it for 10 seconds to transform.
- Effect: Goat becomes a glittery disco ball that plays music and emits a spinning light show. All nearby NPCs start dancing.
- How to unlock: Lick the golden statue of a goat in the Secret Goat Temple (entrance is behind the waterfall at coordinates (B‑3) on the map). Then perform a backflip while licking. You will receive an audio cue.
- Effect: Your lick never loses grip – you can cling to any surface indefinitely.
- How to unlock: In the Abandoned Lab (southeast island), there is a locked safe. Use the code 0416 (April 16 – Coffee Stain’s original founding date). Inside is a vial of green goo. Take it to the toilet in the next room and drop it in – a giant flubber monster appears and follows you for 5 minutes, granting a speed boost while it is active.
- How to unlock: Behind the Statue of a Giant Mug in the city (north area), there is a hidden button high up. Lick it to reveal a teleporter that takes you to a scaled‑up version of the Coffee Stain office. Inside you can:
- How to unlock: Complete all 12 main story events AND collect all 100 Goat Trinkets (small glowing objects scattered everywhere). Then go to the top of the Spire (tallest building) and lick the glowing orb that appears. Instead of the normal ending, you get a credit sequence showing the developers as goats, plus a thank‑you message.
Secret Mutation: Infinite Lick
Hidden Item: Flubber Goo
Developer Room: Coffee Stain Office
- Read notes about cut content.
- Play a mini‑game of “Ping Pong” with a dev avatar.
- Collect a unique hat: Developer Fedora.
Secret Ending: True Finale

Easter Eggs & Pop Culture References
| Easter Egg | Where to Find | What It Is |
|---|---|---|
| Rock of Ages V | Near the quarry – a giant rolling boulder that chases you if you get too close. | Parody of the movie Indiana Jones and the Rock of Ages game series. |
| Goat of Duty | Inside the military base – a sign reading “Goat of Duty” with a goat wearing a helmet. | Reference to the Call of Duty franchise and Coffee Stain’s own Goat of Duty game. |
| San Andreas Goat | In the south part of the city, a graffiti of a goat with “Ah sh*t, here we go again.” | Reference to GTA: San Andreas. |
| The Elder Goats | Inside a hidden cave (west coast) – three floating goat heads that talk in riddles. | Rewards you with the Wise Goat hat. |
| Mooey | A cow in a field that has the exact physics of a goat (can be licked, headbutted, etc.). If you lick it 100 times, it turns into a giant rainbow cow that flies away. | Nod to Goat Simulator’s own buggy cow from the first game. |
| Crash Test Goat | In the test track (southwest) – a goat dummy that can be launched from a giant slingshot. Hitting the target at the far end unlocks a golden crash helmet. | Reference to Crash Bandicoot and typical physics tests. |
| Shrek’s Swamp | Deep in the forest (north central) – a small hut with a sign “No Donkeys”. Inside is an onion and a chair that plays “Somebody Once Told Me” when you sit on it. | Obvious Shrek parody. |
| Deep Space Goat | Launch yourself from the rocket pad (after activating the hidden switch near the observatory). You will orbit the island for a full cycle. | Reference to Kerbal Space Program and Elite Dangerous. |
Hidden Features & Developer Tricks
- Self‑Destruct Button: In the Secret Lab (unlocked by the Flubber Goo puzzle), there is a large red button. Licking it triggers an explosion that destroys all buildings in a 50‑meter radius. You respawn normally – no permanent damage.
- Goat Superstars: If you perform a 25‑second continuous lick on each of the 4 statues in the main square (Dog, Cat, Duck, and Goat themselves), you unlock the Tongue of the Ancients achievement and a golden tongue cosmetic.
- Instant Ragdoll Reset: While in mid‑air, press the emote button (default: B on Xbox, Circle on PlayStation, F on PC) to instantly drop all momentum and splat on the ground – great for avoiding fall damage.
- Developer’s Cut Content: In the Coffee Stain Office (secret area), read the “Cut Ideas” board. It lists scrapped features like “Unicorn Goat” and “Goat Kart Racing”. Typing these as cheat codes does nothing – they are just history.
- On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, none of the keyboard cheat codes work. However, you can still unlock all secret goats/mutations via the in‑game actions described above.
- On console, there is a Debug Menu that can be accessed by pressing L1 + R1 + Options + Triangle (PS) or LB + RB + Menu + Y (Xbox) while on the pause screen. It gives you options to spawn items, teleport, and toggle god mode – but using it will flag your save for no achievements.
- The developer console (~) on PC is only available if you launch the game with the command line argument `-console`. Add this to your Steam launch options for best results.
