All Easter Eggs and Secrets in Camp (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@Mar-pe9kx]

man, nothing makes me want a prequel more than reading the newspaper scrap Arthur kept. The gang in the glory days is a sight to see.

[@HamsterFactz]

A trilogy in reverse order would be such an interesting concept. Imagine how much more depth these characters could have. It could really do a play on the morality system, considering by the end these characters would be hardened criminals. Hell, it would be awesome to see the game end with the heist in Blackwater going south.

[@ZRaYStyleZ]

@@HamsterFactz it would make sense that we play then as Davey or Mac since Bill and Sean telling stories about them in chapter 2 how strong they were. They both die because of blackwater heist so maybe during the heist mac makes the same choice as arthur and maybe we get arthur then to play with where the story from rdr2 begins.

[@HamsterFactz]

@@ZRaYStyleZ God that's a cool idea honestly.

[@ncpsteve123]

@@ZRaYStyleZI think playing as Mac would be great because we know next to nothing about him or what he looked like, it gives rockstar complete freedom to build another legendary character, we wouldn’t get red dead 3 for I reckon another decade at least

[@Gandalfthegoldenbird]

@@ncpsteve123 i'd bet we see a trailer by 2030. the GTA team and RDR team are separate and likely started as soon as RDR2 finished. ala RDR1 to RDR2

[@ChrisHops22]

I like how Mary Beth tries a bunch of different names to write under but then settles on one when you meet her in the epilogue.

[@mullemeck5015]

As of Mary’s own notebook, you can tell how she is romaticising running with the gang, how she is running from the Duke instead of pinkertons and how she shouldn’t have ideas above her station, likely inspired by Grimshaw.

[@jacksonmerrilllover]

didnt notice tht tbh, nice one

[@StuartLugsden]

In beta you wear allowed to keep a copy of every single document in camp but in the end the only one they allowed was Dutch's speech notes and thats probably because the dev in charge of disabling that missed it. You can however get it through an exploit by picking it up, putting it down and quickly opening and closing the photo mode. You just have to be quick.

[@marcleekes3040]

Don't quite understand you but I can just pick Dutch's note up and keep it. And I can do so over and over and it will magically reappear the next day.

[@job4184]

He means te other letters, like the letter from the father from Lenny

[@JRocker.P]

Years and years from this beautiful game and Mr. Strangeman always keep us enchanted.

[@horsecrazy4978]

The horseshoe by Arthur's bed may also be a token from his horse that he had before the start of the game. I vaguely remember one of the gang members (maybe Charles?) offer his condolences to Arthur about a beloved mare of his that had passed and I think it was implied that it was in the blackwater incident. This comment was made at the very beginning of the game when Arthur had to borrow a horse from one of the other gang members. Many equestrians, even nowadays, often keep a horseshoe as a token of a steed that has passed. Given that the shoe is among other very sentimental tokens this makes the most sense to me.

[@georgedanielsbiz]

Yeah , ain’t no Bodacea 😢

[@Poppa_Capinyoaz]

Horseshoes are for luck, not sentimentality

[@ChillaQueen]

I love how Dutch writes his note very properly, with correct-ish grammar, and great phrasing, but when he actually speaks he uses poor grammar and repetitive phrases, not what he wrote.

[@FoxyFoxlyn]

He is a sociopathic narcissist. He viewed himself as above the rest of the gang. Probably thought he needed to 'dumb' it down to manipulate them.

[@Darwinthegoat2709]

@@FoxyFoxlynhe wasn’t like that before. He only became that after his mental decline

[@angeldvito]

​@@Darwinthegoat2709Only in the first lines that Dutch exchanges with Charles do you get a clue that he only cared about himself.

[@DunceTree93]

​@Zedumbass24 in the very first mission of the game, the gang was actually having doubts, but had no choice but to stick around in the mountians....hosea, arthur, john, javier all mention as early as chapter 2 horshoe overlook how dutch is off and loosing it. how many mental declines has dutch had?

Always a good day when StrangeMan drops a RDR2 video.

[@JRocker.P]

True that

[@sw0rks]

About the books that Dutch reads: Evelyn Miller is strongly inspired by Henry David Thoreau, a transcendentalist writer from the 19th century, the titles and the overall meaning of the books really ressemble his style. And maybe the Russian book and author are based on Dostoievsky's works?

[@whimshroud]

yeah the writing style is very similar to dostoevsky's

[@georgedanielsbiz]

Definitely Dostoevsky

[@davydignatenko8651]

It’s Brothers Karamasoff reference

[@AlexGTAgamer]

If I remember correctly, Swanson’s “Bible” becomes an an actual Bible by the time the gang reaches Beaver Hollow as he is finally able to cut his addiction to morphine.

[@MLife1000]

That’s cool 👍 thanks for adding that fun fact 💯

[@jackmarston8337]

This game is so good I just can't stop feeling sad when I remember what happens to the gang We knew the gang was disbanded in 1899 back in Red Dead 1 but we didn't know how … how terrible this must have been to John's family before and even his former friends he grew up with We first met Javier, Bill and Dutch as his ennemies, we knew so little about their past, we knew they shared some sort of family past and memories in the gang but now, now we know they were much more than villains to John. I mean, they shared stories, secrets, mistakes, memories. They really were a family. It must have been terrible for all of them, watching the gang falling apart. It was a part of their life. And much more, the gang had members that were little by little forgotten, which adds even more pain. Heartbreaking. I love Red Dead.

[@morpheusdorpheusorpheus]

That Molly poem hits hard knowing her fate and Arthur’s last words to Dutch

[@michalurbanful]

Yes, exactly!

[@whisper263]

That Fatherhood and other Dreams is my ultimate favorite song in the game, thank you Strange Man for using it!

[@ChiefThanos]

Just doing the Serial killer Easter egg and before examining the knife on the ground, I noticed a zippo flip lighter beside the knife. They weren't created until the 1930s. Major time traveling element with Edmond

[@ThePsychoAnon]

Wow that detail of Dutch meticulously planning his speeches to gas up/gaslight 😂 the gang is awesome. He really was a cult leader. In another life he’d have made a good politician.

[@ahmaddanial7044]

Here’s Arthur opens everyone’s privacy notes and he never let others read his journal

[@Steely_Fran]

Wow! This is really interesting. I've always thought that Reverend Swanson was abusing morphine intravenously. However, he described the drug he was abusing as "that little, sticky, black devil" and "little lumps of Hell". Reverend Swanson wasn't talking about morphine. He wasn't talking about opium either. It is sticky, comes in lumps, but it's dark brown, not black. Since it wasn't morphine, and it wasn't opium, there's only one thing it could be, and it matches his description to a T: black tar heroin. It makes sense for the time period too.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Well, they were far too liberal with hard drugs back then. Still, it makes it all the better when you realize he got clean at the end of the game and became a preacher again.

[@kevinschofieldjr.9927]

I appreciate your dedication strange man

[@calcardinal003]

did you know that if you’re fighting someone near a window you can throw them out of it? i have played for years and just realized today

[@pwnranger3496]

Another nice little Easter egg you didn't mention is Pearson has a picture of the gang posing on a stagecoach hanging on the wall in the store after he takes it over. There are people in the picture that I don't recognize, so it might be Davey and Mac Callander. Jack is just a baby in it too.

[@sasukeuchiha6425]

I really like the character of Mary-Beth: not only do I think she is very beautiful, but also very good and kind. I thought that, as the story progressed, Arthur might fall in love with her. But his story with Mary is still very beautiful, just as she is beautiful too. In any case, I'm glad I found out those details about Mary-Beth's diary

[@briannaosorio3685]

I’m not sure which mission was it.. but I knew it was a side mission during chapter 3 I believe and one of the Stranger missions in Rhodes involves a doctor who gets his stage stolen from thieves and as Arthur, you have to go chase them down and return it to him. The Dr, looked so much like Lenny.. I’m not sure if it was his father or brother I’m not sure if I’m the only one who thought this? 4:50

[@lonewanderer7926]

Hey, Strange Man, could you investigate what is Dead Eye, the near superhuman ability to quickdraw seemingly shared by Arthur, John and eventually Jack? Is it a spiritual force that moves from one host to another after the death of a previous wielder? Or is it a special skill that is possessed by only a select few of remarkable destiny? Id love to see what you can dig up about the mystery of the miraculous power of dead eye.

[@Tango-17]

It's just a fun game mechanic

[@mase5995]

What’s crazy is that Michael, Trevor and Franklin each also have a sort of variation of it as well. With Michael’s being the closest to the Dead eye ability.

[@yeirishpotato5710]

Little side note, it’s not morphine that the Reverend is addicted to, it’s opium. “Little sticky black devil” is referring to the way opium looks when it’s pulled from the poppy plant.

[@tanveerdaleh4261]

I was surprised they didn’t have any opium dens for us to visit in rdr2

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Could it possibly have been black tar heroin, like another commenter said?

[@yeirishpotato5710]

It’s hard to say, heroin was typically used as a pharmaceutical drug around this time and it’s not really known when black tar heroin came to be, black tar is more commonly used as the recreational form of the drug, not as a medicine. It’s more likely just straight up opium as that was the most commonly used and abused drug back then for simply recreational use. I was also surprised that we never seen at least one opium den in the game cause they were all over the place back then and typically there would be at least one or two per city.

[@TheShifter1001]

Arthur should have at least tried with Mary-Beth. But then again, we don’t know the gang’s full history with each other.

[@loco4daloko]

i thought the same but then i realized it’s probably because part of it was that he still wasn’t over Mary Linton, and another part (which is my own personal assumption) was that maybe she was too young, and lastly…..he was most likely done with Mary’s with two first names 💀

Yep. Dutch is the psychopath, hell bent on control and become more hostile when he believes he is losing that control. Trevor lacks empathy and very self centered.

[@jacenskywalker507]

Also, if Trevor ever met Micah and found out he was a rat who led to Arthur's death (via injuring him enough that the tuberculosis claimed his life....I'm talking about my version of Arthur who had maximum High Honor) and betrayed the gang, then he'd rip out Micah's intestines and strangle him to death with them. Trevor cared about loyalty as well, and he'd make sure to skin a filthy, stinking traitorous rat.
