The vast map of Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled with hidden secrets, memorable experiences, and undiscovered locations that keep players coming back for more. Although Rockstar Games recently hinted at the end of updates for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online, fans are still deeply invested in the western open-world action-adventure game. This tease has sparked speculation about a potential sequel. However, players are still actively exploring the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, partly due to the many hidden locations and secrets scattered throughout the map. While many players may have already discovered all the secrets in RDR2, there are still some hidden gems waiting to be found by those who have yet to uncover the best secrets and hidden locations in the game.
10- The Ghost Train Of Lemoyne County Can Only Be Seen At A Certain Time
To discover one of the hidden secrets in Red Dead Redemption 2, players must travel to the northwest section of Lemoyne County in Scarlett Meadows. Follow the railroad tracks until you reach the sign for the town of Lemoyne. Once you arrive, wait until 3 AM in-game time. The train may not appear on the first try, so players may need to sleep and come back the next night. The horse’s behavior will indicate when the train is approaching. Players can even follow the ghostly train for a short time before it disappears.
9- The Gory Serial Killer’s Cabin Can Only Be Found By Following Map Clues
As players traverse the western regions of New Hanover and West Elizabeth in Red Dead Redemption 2, they will come across a number of mysteries. One of the earliest and most dangerous of these mysteries can be discovered by investigating a body located near Valentine on the map. Players will find evidence of mutilation, a bloody map, and clues that resemble those from a true crime documentary on serial killers.
By piecing together the clues from the murder scenes and the map, players can solve the mystery of the serial killer. The map leads to the location of the serial killer’s secret underground cabin. Inside, players will discover a disturbing collection of corpses and organs, before being forced to confront the killer in a life-or-death struggle. This is just one of the many easily missed secrets in the game.
8-The Aberdeen Pig Farm Is A Map Location Players Might Regret Visiting
In the Scarlett Meadows area of Lemoyne County, near the railroad tracks, there is an unmarked cabin on the map. Once players come close to the cabin, it will appear on the map as the Aberdeen Pig Farm. The owner will invite players inside for a drink, meal, and conversation with his wife. However, the situation is not as friendly as it seems. The owners are actually a pair of ruthless thieves who drug, rob, and kill anyone who falls for their trap. Players can escape their fate and return for revenge, but it remains one of the most dangerous secrets on the map. Luckily, players can retrieve their stolen money and belongings after taking down the murderous couple.
7-Players Can Take A Sip From The Witch’s Cauldron If They Are Brave
Some of the hidden locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 can only be discovered through extensive exploration or specific instructions. One of these locations is the Witch’s Hut, located slightly above the “N” of Ambarino on the map. The player will note it as the Witch’s Cauldron in the journal due to the vat of boiling liquid inside.
A mysterious raven will observe the player while they are inside the Witch’s Hut. If they choose to drink from the Witch’s Cauldron, they will be fully restored but will also be teleported to a different location away from the Witch’s Cauldron. While this location is not available in Red Dead Online, strange noises can still be heard at the same spot on the map.
6- The Mysterious Hill Home In Grizzlies East Looks Like A Hobbit’s House
There are a number of homesteads, cabins, and locations in Red Dead Redemption 2 that players cannot enter, adding to the game’s mysterious allure. One such location is the Mysterious Hill Home in Grizzlies East, which bears resemblance to the Hobbit’s dwellings from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. The Hill Home is located under a mossy hill, which is unique and interesting.
The Mysterious Hill Home also has a symbol on the roof, which is similar to the symbol used by the Chelonian cult that the player encounters throughout the game. The location is so captivating that many players have stopped to admire it. Furthermore, Arthur Morgan’s grave can be found near the Hill Home after his death.
5- Players Can Visit The Ever-Changing Cursed House For A Familiar Scare
In the Bayou Nwa region of the map, near Caliga Hall, players can find an abandoned cabin. While the cabin appears to have been deserted for years, players will be surprised by what they find inside. Entering the Bayall Edge cabin, players will discover a fully furnished house, complete with clues that hint at the past of the cabin’s owner and the curse laid upon the town of Armadillo, which is tied to the main story of the game. Players will also discover paintings that change based on the character’s honor level. Each visit to the cabin, the central painting becomes more complete and ultimately reveals the Strange Man from the first Red Dead Redemption game, who can appear in the mirror for a startling jump scare.
4- Marko Dragic’s Robot Can Be Found Resting At The Edge Of RDR2’s Map
As players progress through the game, they will come across an eccentric scientist named Marko Dragic in Saint Denis. He will invite the player, Arthur Morgan, to visit his laboratory and complete a series of missions. These missions lead to the revelation that Dragic had successfully created the first robotic automaton. Unfortunately, his groundbreaking invention also resulted in his untimely death.
However, Dragic’s story doesn’t end there. Players can explore the mountains on the far edge of the map, where they will find a trail that leads to the final resting place of Dragic’s robot. The robot had wandered across the mountains after coming to life. This small detail provides closure while also giving players the opportunity to take a beautiful photograph of the robot.
3- The Suicide Cult’s Cabin Is Also The Setting For A Terrifying UFO Visit
As previously mentioned, Rockstar Games often includes small references and Easter eggs in their games, such as the presence of Bigfoot. However, the most recurring Easter egg is the inclusion of aliens and UFOs. Throughout Red Dead Redemption 2, players will encounter not one, but two different alien ships that may scare fans of UFO movies.
The first can be found on the summit of Mt. Shann around 2 AM. The second can be found after discovering a suicide cult in a cabin called Hani’s Bethel, located in the Heartlands of New Hanover. The cult claims that players who stay in the cabin until 3 AM will witness a close encounter of the third kind outside the shack.
2- Bigfoot’s Hiding Place
Red Dead Redemption 2 features a variety of stunning locations, but players may not initially consider the jagged rocks located to the west of the Grizzlies as one of them. These rocks are often seen as a barrier to keep players within the map’s boundaries.
However, players who choose to explore this mountainside will be surprised to find that they can engage in a unique conversation with Bigfoot. He explains that he is hiding due to his large size.
1- Yeti Corpse
In Red Dead Redemption 2, there are some mysteries that remain unsolved to this day, such as completing the meteorite fragments. However, for players who are searching for a yeti body, some sharp-sighted cowboys have come across the giant corpse. The yeti body can be found near the summit of Mt. Shann, just off the path, and under an overhang. The character will comment on it and document it in their journal. Though it is unfortunate that they do not think to bring it to Saint Denis as they could have made a lot of money by selling it.
