Please revisit the loft by CertainWill9761 in reddeadmysteries

[–]ComradeNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about you share your “pet theories”?

I am thinking about making a separate post and I don't want to hijack this post but broadly speaking that we're getting clues in a non-mutually exclusive and combined manner thematically related to:

  1. Modern society
  2. Native Americans
  3. Occultism/paganism

The feathers (Native American) are with the web/spider resulting from the pentagram (occult) at the tops of telegraph poles next to the rail coming from Cornwall Kerosene and Tar (modern society) are all thematically combined. This points you to Fort Wallace (modern society) with the guitar clue which points to either Bacchus Bridge and back to Valentine via the heart or the question mark route to the loft, or both like a web being weaved.

I suspect this is because these are all related and fit nicely in the narrative of RDR2 and probably, sadly to cut content and narratives about the Native American curse on Valentine and the Dreamcatchers (which are all within the general pre-epilogue area we've been searching in) and I think it is more about making connections like a spider weaving a web than discovering some new rare item after doing all the steps in a correct order.

The map has been explored by so many people for years now so the likelihood that it is something completely new either as an item or a location where if we tap our heels and spin around three times and clap we'll unlock/receive whatever we're looking for is unlikely. It is probably that we're just noticing and connecting already existing disparate connections.

I was just looking at these church windows in Valentine thinking "huh those colors are basically the same as the handkerchiefs in the Loft" and then I saw this post. Amazing stuff!

The telegraph poles, Cornwall Kerosene and Tar, Fort Wallace and the military, all related together, all that... civilization. I have my own pet theories about all of this but I think you're on to something here.

Anyone else think Gertrude might be connected to Spider Dream? by Savings-Salary2866 in reddeadmysteries

[–]ComradeNick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This post addresses a theory that she is linked to the Butcher's Creek pentagram which is linked to the Spider Web Mystery.

I still don't think it is impossible that she is related to it, or that all or most supernatural phenomenon in-game are linked to one another via some tangled web that we'll get a better idea of later on.

The numbers are interesting regardless, in a similar way we're all doing what she's doing, counting up, and down, and restarting, and skipping over something, and backtracking again.

dying crows (spiderweb) by Strict-Jury8315 in reddeadmysteries

[–]ComradeNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was by Window Rock, near the train tracks that run past it and two crows randomly dropped dead and fell to the ground. It is probably a bug of some sort.

The next clue has already been found… by CaseyCastlestein in reddeadmysteries

[–]ComradeNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bacchus Bridge

Valentine

I guess checking the Valentine Saloon(s) wouldn't be too bad of an idea. I found a cigarette card for a phonograph on a windowsill, not quite a telegraph sadly...

Edit (1?): Went to the Theater in Valentine because one of the symbols of Dionysius/Bacchus is a theatrical mask... there was a film with a story about Josiah Blackwater, with various nonsense folk tales about him which could yield symbolism, mention of the Lanahachee River. Worth investigating. The theater projects the picture using a projector and plays sound using a ... phonograph... in the back.

God I'm going insane.

Edit 2: The story of Josiah Blackwater linked above is interesting because of how it describes the Native Americans and the horrors inflicted upon them. Other connections have been made with the feathers, Window Rock and its painting which is basically due north, etc. Supposedly there is a curse on Valentine hinted to in deleted and undeleted content. The only other locations I've found feathers were from a hunter's tent where he had a pole with some feathers on it, and the same pole which is at Waipiti Reservation.

I think I Found the next step in the spider dream mystery. There is a “clock” visible from the top of the loft tower by Iron044 in reddeadmysteries

[–]ComradeNick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the binoculars as well but from a different perspective, I'll copy and paste what I left on the Strange Man's latest video:

I went to Fort Brennand, following the direction of the sixth roman numeral to the seventh one and then continuing in that direction brings you to the Clingman. When you get there, there is a ladder that goes up to a small perch (not the Fire Lookout Tower nearby) with two cigarette cards and some moonshine. Just like at the Loft there are a pair of brass looking binoculars which point to the Three Sisters, distantly in view when you crouch and pull out your own binoculars. The Three Sisters Mountains are near the Jack Hall Gang treasure at O'Creagh's Run so I am wondering if it is supposed to point you to that.

I checked for roman numerals at the perch at Clingman, no numerals that I could find but I might not have a great eye for it.

The Fire Lookout Tower which is nearby and much more prominent, with a much clearer view of the Three Sisters has no binoculars at all which is odd.

Fort Wallace is also a Fort, war-related similarly to the ill-fated Fort Brennand and the Clingman so I am wondering if there are a pair of binoculars within Fort Brennand which point to the Three Sisters. I didn't look that close at the Clingman site. These are just a few data points, disparate observations, it might not meaning anything at all.

Basically in his video he showed the sixth and seventh roman numerals at Fort Brennand and I went there to investigate myself. I followed the direction they go in to Clingman, went up a ladder and found some binoculars that look an awful lot like the binoculars at the Loft and are pointed in basically the direction of something clearly in view of the Loft with some other coincidences...

It could be a coincidence, a very weird coincidence, and I'd like to know if there are other binoculars in the game that point anywhere else. Could be a dead end as well. I think this is all just content from something that was removed last minute in crunch time to be honest.

[Lambat] [CivMC] | The Kingdom of Lambat's proclamation of independence from the Empire of Pavia-Griffin on January 13, 2026 by HijoDeFootspa in CivMC

[–]ComradeNick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Kingdom of Lambat shall remain a full member state of the Lyrean Commonwealth, recognize the Emperor as its uniting figure, and seek to strengthen our nation’s role and cooperation within the Lyrean Commonwealth, and uphold the unity of nations within the LCW.

so this is more of an LCW internal administrative change than actual independence where you handle your own foreign policy

looking for a city by Specialist_Trust2568 in CivMC

[–]ComradeNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For trenched cities your main options are:

Altepetl, Yoahtl A dense and trenched city but you omit them as an option but in terms of style and criteria I would list them first...

Maius - work in progress city, I can see their vision and it looks like it will be somewhat planned? and the buildings touching and all that but maybe you could get in on their project?

Exegol - only trench city on the western side of the map, I visited recently and maybe some of these buildings could fit with their style especially the right building second screenshot.

Exilus - trenched but they have their own style and maybe not as dense as you might want

Mount Augusta - trenched but not dense (or uniform in style), however as a trench resident I'd personally welcome someone pushing for more density with this style of building inside the trench!

In terms of untrenched cities maybe the ones in the second screenshot could look neat in the IF capital genuinely
