Also, as you explore the map, keep an eye out for hidden collectibles. These can be anything from hidden coins to Easter eggs to special goats. Some of these collectibles are well-hidden, so be sure to look around carefully.
Use Your Goat Powers
Your goat has a variety of powers at its disposal, such as the ability to fly and teleport. To activate these powers, you'll need to fill up your Power Meter by completing tasks or finding special power-ups. Once the meter is full, press the Left Mouse Button to use your powers.
Try Out All The Goats
Goat Simulator 3 has a variety of goats to choose from, each with its unique abilities. Some goats can shoot lasers from their eyes, while others can transform into giant monsters. Experiment with different goats to see which one best fits your playstyle.

Moreover, completing these quests will reward you with customizable wardrobe items and rare equipment that will give your goat special abilities.
Roam The Map For Secrets
The map is filled with secret areas that are hidden away from the main paths. These areas often contain special collectibles or other secrets. To find these areas, look for hidden doors or other hidden entrances. You may also need to use your goat powers or find special items to access some of these areas.
