In Goat Simulator 3, what exactly are “Instincts”?

Have you ever had the experience of feeling forced to engage in a certain activity for no other reason than the fact that you want to? That is your Instincts acting up, and Goat Simulator 3 gives you plenty of opportunities to experience it.

It is a wonderful feeling to be acting on your instincts whenever you get the sudden feeling that something needs to be done. When you get this feeling, you are acting on your instincts. Being impulsive is only one aspect of the problem; there are others as well. So, what exactly are these Goat Simulator 3 Instincts?

What exactly are these Goat Simulator 3 Instincts, and how do I get access to them?

There’s more to having instincts than simply acting rashly while rampaging through a city as if you’re a goat and wreaking havoc. There is something more fundamentally biological going on here. Within the context of the game, the term “instincts” refers to a particular gameplay element that may be used to earn “karma.” You can think of Instincts as mini-quests that need to be finished in order to earn points and unlock additional gear for your goat to test out.

If you navigate to the quest tab of the main menu of the game, you will have access to a list of all of the Instincts that you have unlocked. Once you are there, pick the Instincts area to see all of the different Instincts that are at your disposal and that you may use.

While some Instincts are as easy as performing tricks like backflips or triple jumps, others are significantly more challenging, such as exploding 10 people at once or locating the hackerspace. You will earn karma every time you successfully complete one of these inconsequential tasks. The amount of Karma that is bestowed is displayed on the menu next to the Instinct it belongs to.

Discovering Instinct Shrines is necessary in order to open up more slots for Instincts. When you have successfully synchronized with the Goat Tower in a given area, these shrines will appear on the map.

There are a total of seven Instinct Shrines hidden throughout the world for you to find, with the first one being located within the Illuminati’s main headquarters. Finding the Instinct Shrines will also earn you Karma for your exploration efforts.
