Braithwaite Gold Mystery Explained (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@FryingPan1812]

Maybe the real gold was the Braithwaite family members we killed along the way.

I knew where the letter was hidden but I didn't know about the carving and the camper, which made this mystery a lot more interesting. Thank you for the amazing content!

[@gurpinderwarar4625]

So where do you think gold was hidden

[@Dotelation]

I had also found the letter while playing. But like you I had no idea of the carving nor camper. I even investigated about it on reddit.

[@yashuab.2979]

The gold under the house isn’t the gold, that’s only one gold bar.

[@Huss1111]

[@elitegamer9310]

So, what you're telling me, is that for almost 100 years, these 2 families have been fighting over gold that had already been spent? That's ironic.

[@Princess_Celestia_]

Not entirely. A large chunk of it was stolen long before the Civil War, the rest of it (Not counting the brooch, the gold shield, the gold bar and the bracelet she gives you at the end of the mission) was stolen by the young Braithwaite girl that was in love with Beau Gray. She took it with her when she and Beau left for Boston with plans of selling it for money so they could start a new life together up north.

[@DunceTree93]

First off, I would like to thank you for exploring this story. Its always fascinated me, and I legit had no idea about the letter and the story of lucille and douglas. I just thought the Braithwaite syory ended once the house burns down and you find the gold bar....boy was I wrong. Thank you. I also just want to say ive been a big fan for years, and i am incredibly impressed and happy with how far youve come. You also havent succomed to relentless click bait or excessive adds and I just really, really appreciate it; especially with how hard you work. Your videos are ALWAYS high quality and entertaining no matter how big or small the mystery. I somehow still learn something new about the games despite the fact ive spent 300+ hours with multiple saves and playthroughs after watching a vid of yours. Its always a treat when I get the notifaction of one of your vids. Thank you for your hard, dedicated and passionate work you do for the fans of this amazing game.

[@simple-commentator-not-rea7345]

I found that letter LONG before even realizing that players actually believed the treasure can be found, I even assumed the Gold bar you get from the manor ruins was part of that treasure. What I DIDN'T know until watching this video was the part about the message on the tree and the guy telling the story at his camp. Not surprised since those unique camp encounters are FREAKING impossible to spawn. Only ones I ever got was the creepy perv stalking Mrs Balfour, and a trapper talking about how he's eager to hunt one of the legendary cougars. In the previous game, these unique NPC camp interactions were practically thrown at you, what am I doing wrong here?

[@jamesyoo4779]

I think it's part of the design to keep people roaming and exploring and really encourages curiosity to approach every camper, to get every stone turned and every corner explored.

[@officerspooder]

when you create a new save certain rng is set up to make the game diverse for every player

[@Diggz24]

There is another really cool one I ran into on my playthrough. This really tough Hispanic outdoorsman warns you of the Aberdeen pig farm. He tells you he also cut thru their land and they tried coaxing him inside. But his gut told him to get tf outta there! 💨

[@thenovicewhispers]

i go hunting and fishing a lot, usually something happens while I'm hunting. My advice is to just hunt for pelts for pearson and the trapper. you'll notice a lot of new things and meet new ppl.

[@holynightwingfan4510]

@@thenovicewhispers I can endorse this. I was able to have some interesting encounters because instead of focusing only in story quests I was keep pushing myself to complete the hunter ones

[@zombiedog1088]

I knew most of this story, but I never knew about the Graves in Rhodes. It makes this story so much more tragic because Lucille and Douglas likely got caught stealing the gold, and killed as a result. Great video as always!!

[@Aldo-lq8fd]

The letter encouraging Douglas go steal the gold is dated 1806, and Douglas' grave is dated 1831. Long time, maybe they actually got away with it, for a while at least.

[@juancarlosrivera5689]

I don't think so, because the money was used to free the slaves, which obviously happened and after so long both of the families still believe that the opposite family stole from them. And if they were caught, they probably wouldn't be feuding anymore

[@jackj9816]

@@juancarlosrivera5689 I don’t think they used the money to full stop slavery but more like they invested it to free a lot of them

FINALLY I know what's the story is behind that damn gold

[@AlexGTAgamer]

After all this time I never knew about the tree carving. But also as has already been mentioned in the comment section, after Braithwate Manor is burned down and the lock box under the Manor is revealed, I always thought that that solitary gold bar was all that was left from the gold stash.

[@fostagade3602]

Apparently that's only part of it.. so I guess some of the gold is missing for good

[@Princess_Celestia_]

@@fostagade3602 There's no apparently about it. There's a gold shield you can steal from their manor during the raid, then there's a brooch and a bracelet the young Braithwaite girl gives you after helping her and the young Gray boy escape together. She also hints at having stolen what was left of the Braithwait family treasure and having it on her so that she and the Gray boy can sell it off and state a new life up in Boston.

[@compromisedreality8827]

It would've been incredible if, after finding the letter and solving the mystery (while still in chapter 3), you could go to Dutch and tell him about it, maybe leading to them breaking up the plan for the Grays/Braithwaites to go against each other. And possibly even saving Sean.
