The Many Myths and Mysteries of Red Dead Redemption

The place where John is talking to the strange man is actually where John and his wife will be buried in the future, that's why he keeps mentioning it being a fine spot

The stranger is such a cool add on to the story. I think open world games need concepts and moments like these to really standout. Another good example is just cause 3 it has a ton of Easter eggs and alot of them are just really mysterious it immerses you in the game. Look at the lil ghost stories in Pokemon games it's some of the most memorable scenes in those games even though it's never that deep there's just something about the mystery and paranormal that adds so well to games.

5:46 "ain't this a beautiful spot?" he says while standing at the exact spot where John would be burried. When John shoots at him, his gun releases three shots, jamming on the fourth one, indicating that Uncle, Abigail and John himself would die, but Jack would be spared. The strange man, when shouted at with a "damn you!" answers with "yes, many have", and well he is completely unaffected by bullets, so I think we can safely say he is supposed to be the Grim Reaper AKA the personification of Death itself

[@marktaxes5934]

He’s Cain from the bible

[@josephseed7100]

He's the personification of govt

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

The "Yes, many have" makes him either God or the Devil in my mind. From the phrase "God, damn you!" as if you are damning God himself and not asking God to damn another, or from him being "damned" as the Devil was damned by God. Before being cast out and damned by God, the Devil was an angel.

[@AdamOwenBrowning]

@@AdamOwenBrowningThey werent Pinkertons in rdr1 they were predecessors for the FBI, the Bureau of Investigation. This is why they targeted Dutch and Bill specifically because they were notorious gang leaders at that point causing mass terrorism, it didn’t really have to do with 1899 except Ross knowing John from that time

[@fourthhorsemendeath218]

I personally think that the Strange Man IS Death itself or The Grim Reaper. He calls himself "an accountant" which means he tallies every soul which passes on and can predict or even seem to cause the deaths of people with some form of Omniscience

[@andrewtatereal3168]

personally i think hes the devil and the thumbleweed store guy did a pact with the devil

[@paul7432]

I mean, God is an accountant in a way, sending souls to heaven or hell And, many have cursed him, while no doubt many have likely cursed the devil, it makes much more sense for him to be God Also, For the record, you can indeed make deals with God, and he can (and has) sent plagues and diseases on towns and such, but it has been a while since i looked into the strange man mystery but imo it makes more sense for it to be God

[@Sopranos990]

My theory is he controls honor and if you have low honor he controls the bad things that happen an the good things if you have high honor also he’s god (imo)

[@kainepercle4549]

Couldn’t god also be an accountant with him being the first to count, with the 7 days but also being in charge of who gets created?

[@TemplatedWolf]

I think he's fate because he tracks your progress in rdr 2 and the first game he gives John quest to rob or help and well he said see you around at your death site .. fate makes sense considering he doesn't care what you do just that it's done and probably trying to give John a redemption hints fate. Death doesn't really work considering he's actively having the player trying to redeem him self or be a bad person that's not how death work's. god could believe since he gives a options and God is the balancing point in religions. Devil I don't believe since he would curse john and not try to get him to help people.

[@sackfu7952]

Something interesting about one of the ritual sites that i heard once, when you leave dead bodies near one of the specific paegan ritual sites, they will decay at a much faster rate than they do throughout the rest of the game, and walking away and coming back can so cause the remains to switch positions, as well as i think un-decompose a little bit, apparently.

[@SuperAwesomeSon]

To give context to the missing 3rd meteorite, it seems it got removed from the game. If you Google, "RDR2 cut trinkets" you'll find that a meteorite trinket was cut from the game with a full model and icon. Effects are unknown, but it seems they cut it since it probably had effects that were already similar to another existing trinket. They probably cut the 3rd since it's location was probably not even set up yet so they just cut that one out and left the other 2 for players to speculate upon.

[@bjellison905]

The third meteorite was gonna be tied to the serpent mound. The real serpent mound in ohio has a meteorite impact crater not far from it and is why the natives chose it. You can feel electric charge on certain rocks picked up in the area.

They seem to be based in Lakay before or use that location occasionally (makes sense being that swampy area around Bluewater Marsh and Lakay is where they usually spawn) one of the houses in there got a mural of some voodoo bonfire and you can also find a shrunken head. The pagan ritual (with the mask and the half-dismembered body/torso) is also their doing Their behavior definitely inspired by Bone Tomahawk, but their looks are more into some voodoo cannibals in Haitian and African culture

[@caljackal6139]

The Donkey Lady actually reminds me of a glitch I used to get in Undead Nightmare a lot; After playing for a while, eventually the undead would stop spawning and become replaced with actual people as though this was the main story. So instead if a horde of zombies, it was just a horde of guys all just walking about going about their day. Eventually the undead would spawn back in and they would attack and it would cause a really cool fight between them which I thought was intentional as I did just save the settlement. But then it happened again but they all began spawning back as people without a head. I dont mean decapitated but like their head was invisible, they acted like zombies but instead of attacking they used to just follow me around. It was so creepy to the point I stopped playing Undead Nightmare because of it. I still haven't played it again to this day but I think I've lost the disc I used to play it so hopefully one day when I replay it, it wont happen again.

[@richardf2205]

Idk how much of a mystery it is but one thing in Red Dead that always caught my attention was the black flower. There's not a lot too it but the old blind man Cassidy will has a phrase "I see sand, an ocean and palm trees. Find the black flower and you will be heavily rewarded" and if you go to the Scratching Post under the N in New Austin, there's a small hut with a painting of a beach and this very unique model of a black flower on a bedside desk in which if you open you get some rings and an 'ancient necklace' item. I may be a little biased since I first came across it not knowing anything about it and having not had the phrase from Cassidy said to me but the unique model of the black flower really threw me off, it's kinda creepy looking? And the hut itself has a lot of stuff going on, it looks like it was owned by a trapper or something, it has alot of animal skins inside and it has what looks like a buck skull on a pike outside. In RDR1 there's not much going on, all the decoration isn't there but there's a chest inside you can open. In Undead Nightmare, I think there is a mission to acquire the Army Uniform that takes place there too. The place and the black flower has always stood out to me and I see so little talk about it, it's very interesting.

[@cookiescream8628]

Don't know if you missted it or not but the myth in RDR 1 about the still creek ghost is referenced in RDR 2 with a ghost of the women in swamps showing up at night with better chances at spawning during foggy weather like in the original myth. Unlike the myth, you do not get attack if you approach here. Instead she simply disappears. That said, everytime I see her in game I get attacked by nightfolk so maybe that was Rockstars way of honoring the myth but could just be a coincidence and I'm just very unlucky.

I know I’m a year late on this video bro but this helps so much I love to game and find a bunch of Easter eggs and stuff so it’s definitely got me hooked back into red dead one.

[@breno855]

Was I the only one that found the "my son my beloved son" written in John's barn in the last act of the first game? I assumed it was related to the I know you man.

[@caveresch]

With how great rdr2 is, in my book, the series overtook gta. Wrote this directly at the start, so now that I'm into the meat, sick video bro.

[@grrbarking]

yesss ive been waiting for this video!!! thanks sourcebrew ^_^

[@bazzledust2912]

There was also dialogue found in the files that said to take the princess to the sheriff in annesburgh, it was just another side mission like the giant in the cave that was sadly cut from the game,

[@mr.g-sez]

why are the nightfolks the only enemy who can instakill you! one hit from that dudes with the machete or knife and youre done! why? i always wondered if theres more to it.

[@veasey3997]

Probably to make you be more worried when traveling to add. It kinda makes them a more scary encounter

[@theriguyayylmao3761]

They aren’t the only ones the vampire of Saint Denis can one hit you too

[@mr.g-sez]

@@theriguyayylmao3761 yeah thats true, totally forgot about him

[@LavetnoSiberiade]

There are many more who can instakill you, the Tumbleweed sheriff for example.

[@TroobyDoo]

Don't take my word for it, because I'm not totally convinced about it, but I've heard that the mysterious "Gavin" is Gavin Free from the Slo-Mo Guys and Rooster Teeth. Jack Patillo (Rooster Teeth) is the voice of the inn-keeper in Valentine, and Geoff Ramsey (Rooster Teeth) is a voice of one of the ticket dudes at a train station (I can't remember which one). From the rumours, Gavin Free was also supposed to record a voice-over for an NPC, but something came up for him and he missed the recording, so Rockstar added the "Have you seen my friend Gavin?" thing as a little rib at him. The story is very plausible, but I don't think we could have made it this long after without someone in Rooster Teeth ribbing Gavin about it, which I don't remember ever happening in the years since. But, it's possible

i think the “trelawny is the strange man” meme is cringe but i like to imagine that might have been a consideration in john’s head as he angrily asked for the strange man’s name.

[@paulocaspero2323]

I recommend Stranger Man's channel, if u want to find answers to all this theories and secrets.

[@TorturedMongoose2003]

Fun fact... Back in 2016 or 2017... I was playing the original game on my friends PS4... I did that glitch you use to get into west Elizabeth early, and I encountered the board man... But I personally called him the pigman...

[@Steven_McCrae]

I think but Strange-man is Cain , he’s the most intriguing character ever I’ve seen in a game IMO

[@TheDigitalApple]

The donkey lady video……a memory of a simpler time!

[@jacobbrent9839]

What about the River monster that has audio files but hasn't been found?

[@deadset15-hrvavik17]

It isn't in the game, it's cut content. Rockstar probably couldn't implement it or just thought it was too unreal

[@kingofcrows8829]

@DeadSet15 - Hrvavik apparently Rockstar cut out some stuff that would've been awesome. There's a channel called Strange Man, it goes into detail about content that was cut out
