Thoughts on next step
I’m playing a massive game of catch up as I stepped away from RDR2 a while ago and just recently checked back here to see if anything was new. Well, bravo to you all!! Amazing stuff! I don’t have much time to devote to this but I was poking around just a little and came across something I thought worthy of note.
Going on the idea that the bird markings at Fort Wallace do indeed point to the birds you follow to the giant, I was looking around at the giant’s location. The large rock on the platform that the giant is presumably behind has a twin on ground in front of the platform. This rock is not wholly unique to this location, I’ve seen it elsewhere in game. But, looking back at the platform from the second rock I was struck by what very clearly is an “S” shape on the side of the platform. Its prominence changes slightly throughout the day as the sun moves but is still very visible.
So..south. Directly south of the giant are a few intriguing locations: 1) Veteran’s Homestead, 2) a dream catcher location, 3) Baygall Edge - Strange Man’s cabin.
Personally, I think the Veteran’s Homestead is the most likely place to check out as it’s the first POI you hit running straight south. I only poked around a little bit but, above the bed is a painting you’re only able to really see if you get out your lantern. I feel like I’ve seen that painting elsewhere but can’t remember. Sorry, forgot to grab a photo of that.
The dream catcher spot is potentially interesting (it’s the one in the “O” of “New Hanover”). It’s in a clump of trees and the only thing you can see looking out from the trees is the Lookout Tower. I haven’t had time to check that out yet but thought it was interesting.
That’s all I’ve had time for. Again, amazing work everyone, I’m in awe of you all!
