The Unsolved Mysteries of Red Dead Redemption 2

Gavin is an inside joke from the Rockstar employees because a rockstar developer called Gavin rarely showed up. Also a good mystery is the witches cauldron.

Just recently replayed RDR2 and just now noticed the shirt Abigail gives John during the epilogue is the one he wears when he dies in RDR1, not a mystery but still amazed how much detail this game had put into it. One of the best.

[@mickyb.8014]

That's interesting, something I'd not notice though as I've not played rdr1. Damn well love rdr2 though, it's the best game I've played so far, and I've played all the other best ones - but, there's something just so special about the depth and story of RDR2 - no other game is as immersive or detailed, R* really smashed it when they made this masterpiece of digital art.

The animal skins on scaffolding does have a reason. Some Native American culture practiced a tradition called “Sky Burials” which the body is not buried under the Earth but raised to the sky for various cultural reasons. Among Lakota and Sioux cultures the bodies of the dead were feared as disease carriers and by raising them above the ground to distance themselves. Notably sky burials were also reserved for warriors and thus was highly respected. Given the addition stone axe, the remains of hunted animals and the medicine wheel formed by the rocks, the reason why tossing a fire bottle at the site lowers your honor and changes the weather is you are desecrating a sacred burial site for fallen warriors. The lightning strike might be evidence of a spirit, possibly Wakan Tanka or the Thunderbird trying to warn you or smite you. It may also be a hint at the fate of two named native characters in the game. Sky Burials attract predatory birds and vultures as the means of disposal of the body (by scattering the remains after they are consumed.). In Lakota culture rain symbolizes renewal after destruction of the land. This hints of the fate of the characters of Eagle Flies, a warrior who dies in battle and Rain Falls, who lives on and eventually finds a new land to make a new life. (The Wapiti are a fictional tribe based on the Lakota and every Native American character in game speaks Lakota.). The Lakota are the only tribe of Native Americans that forced the U.S. to sign a peace treaty with them, and we’re famously the tribe opposing US forces at the battle of Little Bighorn aka Custar’s Last Stand. Edit: Sky Burial is not exclusive to Native American cultures and was practiced in Aboriginal Australian cultures, certain Buddhist regional variants as an alternative funeral right when the preferred ceremonial cremation was not practical (often due to lack of sufficient kindling for such fires). While most commonly associated Tibetan Buddhism, but was also observed in regions in China and Mongolia (in these cases the corpse’s disposal by carrion birds was explicitly part of the reason the use was favored and the endangered nature of such birds is one of the main reasons the practice is largely abandoned in the modern world.) and in certain cultures by in the Caucasus Mountains. In all societies that once practiced sky burial it is now rarely if ever done as it is was usually a less efficient use of land (burial uses the same amount of space and hides the visual and ofactorial unpleasantness of the process and is less efficient overall when compared to cremation.

The strange man theory that he's a past victim is interesting, I just see a few problems with its. John shoots him 3 times and the gun jams on the 4th indicating the death of John, Uncle and Abigail and the last one being Jack why it jams because he's the only one who survives. Meaning the strange man has an idea of past and future deaths. Also John says "Damn you" and he says "Many have" a past victim wouldn't say something like this and he calls himself an accountant "of sorts" which has deeper meaning than just being a plain old accountant

[@ulmxn]

At the bottom of a tombstone at the native american burial site, at night, I think maybe either 12 or 3 AM, you can see faint blue glowing text if you zoom in with a scope. I know it sounds like a joke, but when the game came out, I experimented with this area for hours. This is one thing I found I’ve never seen mentioned. In this save I had also burnt the site, and brought people to the site to sacrifice. I sacrificed many many animals and humans, and they rotted faster than anything else I’ve ever seen rot in the game. Again, spooky, but this is from my own experience.

23:31 thinking about it, I remember that when you read Arthur's journal for the first time and goes back for the notes before the ferry massacre, Arthur mentions of him seeing "a man that looked like trelawny", now, the fact that he randomly mentioned it might be the way the game found to tell us that the strange men was there during the blackwater massacre, so he may have been killed during the mess, and, as nikpar said, now he haunts those who killed him

[@mandrews6282]

On the Mysterious Man and the Cain theory, I’m surprised that it wasn’t mentioned that Cain is brought up in RDR2. You can overhear Dutch having a conversation with Jack and telling him the story of Cain and how he was condemned to wander after doing a ‘bad thing’. So the devs are certainly familiar with the tale, enough to have dialogue pertaining to it in the game itself. Also, it may have been simple rng but I overheard this convo right before I went fishing with Javier and Arthur asks if Javier thinks Dutch is doing things differently now and references what happened ‘to that girl on the ferry’. Which could be a reference to the same girl the man mentions to John. It may be a longshot theory but I wouldn’t necessarily count that one out.

[@tempsitch5632]

Yes, the “girl in the ferry” could be a reference to the “girl on the ferry”. Genius. It’s not a question, detective.

I went to catholic school growing up and am very aware of the story and lore surrounding Cain and Abel and never made the connection until Lagging Leleand blew the case wide open. Nice work.

[@LordofSyn]

I don't think it can be Cain. He was also cursed that any plant life would die in his vicinity. Plus, Cain goes on to found a city after finding other humans that seemingly existed but weren't discussed. He even married. Marston tries to shoot him 3 times, denoting Paul "doubting" 3 times. Where that final interaction happens, with the shots fired, also happens to be where John and Abigail will be buried; under the tree overlooking their ranch.

I personally think that the creature sounds you hear after desecrating any of the several sacred Indian grounds in the game imply the existence of the Native American mythological creature, the Wendigo.

[@Princess_Celestia_]

"in the game imply the existence of the Native American mythological creature, the Wendigo." 4 things.. 1.) Native Americans are not one people but many different groups, cultures and world views. You can't just mix and match what you please. 2.) The Wendigo is specific to the Algonquian tribes and doesn't exist in the oral traditions of any of the other tribes. 3.) The Wapiti Indians are conglomeration of the Lakota tribe and other tribes from the Great Planes and Rocky Mountains of which the Algonquian are not a part of and thus the Wapiti would not have any traditions of wendigo. 4.) Rock* are not idiots and would know this, a basic google search of "wendigo" reveals as much. You don't need to be an anthropologist to figure it out.

i have a theory that the ghost train is what alerted the law to the gang during pouring forth oil. we never found out how the law knew about the robbery. and the robbery happens right where the ghost train spawns. even the scene with the law finding arthur is eerie. the music that plays. it always felt like an odd scene. my theory is that there was a posse of law out one night and they saw the ghost train and followed it. and it led them right to arthur and friends. it's similar to how the ghost dog in gta 5 tells franklin about dom being in trouble twice. i know the theory is unlikely. but in a game with ufos and time travelers. it doesn't seem impossible.

Wondering who and where Gavin is, finding out every possible little thing from clues Rockstar might've left. And there seems to be no real explanation, because from the clues we got, multiple theories can be formed. And now, even years later, people talk about it and want to know about Gavin.

My theory on The Strange Man is... He's your conscious, he's there to make you realise your actions in the game have consequences (...much the same as in reality). He's the constant reminder that you should behave appropriately given the situation. That's just my whacky theory anyway... One thing's for sure R* really are masters at their art. No other company makes games with so many layers of depth. Many years ago I worked in the development of video games and I would have loved to have been a part of the making of rdr2. From what I've read about the stressful development of this game it's shocking the conditions and stress the team were put through to make this trully amazing game. They should all be very proud of the final product, in my opinion it's by far the best game that's been made to date.

23:45 The Strange Man is an analog for god. He knows, accounts for choices, judges actions, and warns of consequences. John attempts to shoot him three times, denoting a "Doubt" each time and the conversation between John and the Strange Man happen where the Marston's will be buried later. Only Jack will survive. However, you bring up some other things in the entry that should be covered. I hope you do a follow up on the other aspects you left out of the entry. (Regarding Armadillo and Herbert Moon) He cannot be Cain as his presence is supposed to wither any plant life wherever he walks. Cain also went on to found a city after his banishment. Finally, Jack writes the novel of Red Dead. One other way to consider both games is that they are actually the book we are playing through. As such, The Strange Man might very well be an older Jack who wrote himself in. Granted that has a weak premise but is also very, very Meta.

the first one was just that though, its a sky burial. it looks like a chief's sky burial. the four directions cross was near so more can be done there. as its a burial i think thats why if you try set it on fire, it rains cause its supposed to put it out. also cant clean your gun cause no weapons except the chief's weapons are only allowed.

[@BroThinkHeJohnFootball]

The black water athletics team killings are eerily similar to the infinity killer from the GTA series

[@OrsvarsKorvar]

On the metoerite thing, there is an use button also in the menu that u can't push, which is unique to that item

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Hmmm.. that is odd. Perhaps its there bc originally 2 meteorites was the key to getting the trinket? that's a doozy.

[@ZtinkyBones]

curious if you could “use” it in a certain location

[@OrsvarsKorvar]

@@ZtinkyBonesSince it's left in the game thete is still a chance that it has a use, I wonder what is connected to meteors though

[@tempsitch5632]

No, it isn’t.

[@OrsvarsKorvar]

@@tempsitch5632 it is for me

[@Chopscrewyyy]

19:14 are we not gonna talk about that bridge?

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

The Cain theory while a stretch actually feels really plausible

[@ThePsychoAnon]

I’m replaying this atm, last time I touched it was release back in 2018. Such an amazing journey filled to the brim with secrets and content!

[@Wetterwet]

Doing another play through now checking out all the Easter eggs. Just found the vampire for the first time. I missed so much on my first two play throughs

[@GL1TCH1N]

Bro shit was getting genuinely creepy, and then the echoed Cow Moo popped up and I started laughling my ass off lmaoooo 😂

[@DanGromek1212]

I thought the Strange man as Cain was cool but today i was playing and im in the camp. A stray dog enters the camp. Little Jack is excited asking about the dog and guess what Dutch names him Caine because the dog is a wander that might have done bad things... insane.

[@IroncladInSteam4007]

There's a thing about the meteorites, I suspect it only says 'Carrying 2 of 3' because initially you can only carry 3 of anything (food items, individual valuables, etc) in the original satchel, and it would surely be fairly easy to find a third meteor crater because they're quite big. If there was a third, it would most likely have been found by now.

[@briefsize11]

i feel like the train could be an omen at how the gang's first major robbery (at least the first oone WE see in the game) and the gang's last robbery was a train heist

[@Darthkermit_frogo]

11:06 its probably because in online you can get his revolver so maybe he used it but I dont see any bullet wounds on the blackwater athletics team so I don't know

[@_Gwuapo]

The strange man is the angel of death. The first time Dutch and Hosea got locked up I believe the strange man visited them and offered them some sort of deal, they later went on to rob 37 banks along side the gang and a have a successful life of crime until the events the black water massacre occurred. Strange man probably came to collect causing Dutch to go into panic mode and kill heidi, the beginning of the gangs downfall. Dutch sells his “son” Arthur to save the soul of the gang and when he realizes that Arthur is more than that to him he can’t stand to lose him, he flees to Montana then to black water until michah a vassal of the strange man infiltrated the gang to take Arthur’s soul to hell. The strange man torments Dutch in his mind driving him insane. In the high honor ending Arthur dies naturally in the low honor ending Micah kills him sending him to hell. When Arthur escapes the vassal of the strange man the curse passes on to John as the next “son of Dutch”. When Dutch shoots Micah it’s to spare John and he can’t even stand to look John in the eyes out of guilt. The strange man knowing Johns fate tests his honor in 1911 to determine if he is worthy to pay the price. After Dutch dies and goes to hell the curse broken and John meets his end and goes to heaven, leaving behind jack free of curses.

[@dingane0039]

The angel of death doesn't make deals tho, it's probably a Demon of somesort working for the Devil

[@_Gwuapo]

@@dingane0039 He can, he can also take your soul and help you cross to the other side. He’s actually a nice and gentle being, he comforts people and gives reassurance when their crossing over. But your right about the demon part, I think rockstar made it into their own little thing. When you visit his cabin in the woods you can find a alligator in a cage missing his claws, that’s voodoo. The strange man made a video on how rockstar added voodoo and occult symbols all over the game

[@joshsheler7036]

interesting story but Im like 99% sure that the strange man isnt that involved with the rdr story

[@Devin_Stromgren]

I highly doubt it's canon, but it makes for GREAT head canon.

[@sobas8411]

I’v been waiting for this kind of video.

[@redact7577]

18:25 little man has more voice cracks than Dutch 😭😭

[@vanturner9403]

Great video. I appreciate you adding the other creators ideas! I think I will get back to playing it’s been almost 4 years since I’ve played. Hopefully my saves are still valid? However starting over could be fun!!!

[@Waxyyy]

Sounds great man tell me how it goes

[@shonkwe5625]

3k subs🎉

[@antthomas7916]

The mutant is definitely a nod to South Park. I'm pretty sure that's why South Park featured RDR2 in the show.

[@ImOldGreggg]

You got my sub my brew. Red Dead is my all time favorite game. I really wish Rockstar would have made DLC content instead of online, but what can we do..?

[@Waxyyy]

True that, I hope we can get a dlc one day. I want an undead nightmare 2 in the style of the walking dead, sounds so cool

[@Notmeunknown123]

A wendigo or skinwalker legendary hunt would’ve been cool as an Easter egg

[@Aztecsoldier187]

"sets a native burial site on fire" for some reason you lose honor for that lmaoooo

[@AlqhemyA]

The meteorites could have been cut content, the 3rd one originally being intended for Mexico which was obviously scrapped due to time constraints. Just speculation on my part.

[@kaiyz4222]

2024 confirmed scrapped

[@travisbartholomew6646]

Loving it so much in one video 🤠

[@Snook_YT]

MOM GET THE CAMERA ITS ME

[@KC.45]

Who?

[@yorkshirelad3133]

i remember my friend advising me to play rdr2, i remember going back to him some months later saying it was probably the best game i had ever played, i hope and pray for rdr3

[@bradya456]

Can't believe you got Markiplier to contribute!

[@matty8952]

I feel like the forests in RDR2 would have a TOTALLY different vibe if you were constantly hearing low, guttural growls.
