I actually came across some dialog between John and Abigail that further suggests Abigail kept hiding the squirrel. When the squirrel turned up missing on the first round, I pushed greet twice when speaking to Abigail and it went along the lines of John: "Have you seen my squirrel? It's not on the mantle." Abigail: "Really? Huh, no I haven't seen it." She says it nervously too.

The game deliberately reduces the chances of whatever animal you need spawning once you have an objective for it, so I always get the animals I know I'll need by looking up guides for them before I start the mission/objective. It makes the exotics side quest much more tolerable.

Maybe Abigail wanted the Squirrel to get abducted by the UFO so she’d be rid of it permanently. But the whole thing about Abigail being the suspect is both funny and makes sense but also a bit disappointing as well, I probably would’ve preferred if there was a more supernatural/ paranormal element to it, like it being cursed or something, or maybe it being a wholesome type of paranormal activity like the Ghost of Arthur playing a prank on John.

Thanks Strange Man! This is something else. I found the squirrel the first time it disappeared. I had no idea about the rest of it though. It being placed on Mt Shann may be in reference to the taxidermist saying it makes her and John like Gods now. Meaning the Aliens representing the UFO's are the Gods? Anyways it gives me something else to do in the Epologue which I've been free roaming in for a year now, in my 3rd playthrough which I started in September of 2021.

I noticed that line too. I already did this, but hearing that cutscene again now... It is a weird line. Same with heaven being just like this when he dies. So maybe jokingly unaware meta joke about how the player is basically a god in this world, but that line is weird. Also weirder considering Rockstar let's you have John Marston as your father in GTA Online. And the lore I created for my GTA online character is that he is the anti-hero Eldritch son to MY specific (100% complete save) full evil Eldritch god John in a parallel universe. I used to think RDR and GTA are in the same universe, they're not because New York is called Liberty City in the GTA universe and is merely New York in RDR. They're more so parallel to each other, like FromSoftware game universes are. The RDR book in Michael's library merely being an Easter egg. Now I can add more lore where that book isn't just an Easter egg, but a cosmic tome that just BARELY tying the universes together by a thin invisible cosmic thread. The book just being a transcript of EVERYTHING in Arthur's journal up until John is officially done with it. ALL the animals, all supernatural events, weapons, unique strange items etc.

Final spot for the squirrel is located at the mountaintop, Arthur died near the mountaintop, not exactly on top but, kinda close. The other 5 squirrel locations might mean something, objects near the chests or exact location of the squirrel might signify something related to the characters but I'm too lazy to check. lol

The Valentine Conversation. It is an extremely rare conversation to encounter in the town of Valentine between two NPC’s. They talk about a girl fishing a rock out of a river. This has lead players to fish for the meteorite, as well as interact with thousands of NPC’s in an attempt to find the girl. This, to, has lead to no avail. This myth has lead to some claiming the idea that “The Meteor That Rocked The Old West” legend is true. All in all, this is one of the biggest mysteries of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2020. a meteor struck outside the map in Red Dead Redemption back in 2010, only a short while after the game was released. According to them, towns burned, and everyone in free roam burned to death. They also claim they can “get in trouble for showing us“ and “they are the only ones able to access that part of the map.” The only evidence we have to go off of that they’re not just showing some random putter part of the map is their story. But, that didn’t stop this from becoming a Legend

@whatisbestinlife8112 Жыл бұрын

So, it becomes clear that the aliens are some sort of advanced squirrel species. And that then means that the taxidermy squirrel was one of their infiltrator-scout units that had the misfortune to cross paths with John when he was on this quest. And they're defense mechanism in such a circumstance is to play dead. Well, this led to the squirrel being frozen in this position and the taxidermist lady thinking it's so stiff she doesn't need to do anything else beyond just mounting it to a board (no stuffing it, etc). Now, uncomfortable as this is, the squirrel is an scout-infiltrator so is no slouch himself and very determined. So it is actually still trying to escape and each time it disappears having dragged itself to some new hiding place at it broadcasts a distress signal (likely from special tech mounted in the tail being as they are so large and poofy and make excellent antenna to broadcast signals). But each time the squirrel gets found before the signals are picked up. Finally the scout infiltrator alien squirrel gets fed up and drags himself up to the top of the mountain so as to better attract the attention of its alien squirrel comrades to come rescue it. It's so obvious. Clear as could be. Mystery solved.

More strange man content, NOICE. Also before I watch the video I remember reading on the RDR 2 mysteries reddit a few weeks back about the meteorite and this Squirrel (I've long completed 100% and 70 gold, it was a nightmare to complete) and it makes me wonder if either inside the squirrel is the 3rd and final meteorite OR the squirrel ITSELF is MADE OUT OF the meteorite. Would make sense as the final tedious little task we have to do not just to complete 100%, but get the final meteorite. And the last place it hides is on top of mount Shann, the EXACT spot you see the second UFO. [Edit]: Currently paused 8:05 and haven't read comments yet. Just wanted to add to my theory (can't try it now because I don't have an old save, I'd have to literally play the whole game over again which I am planning on doing eventually), but I was thinking when it's on top of mount Shann, you have to shoot it like jar holding the shrunken head item in Lakay and the 3rd meteorite comes out. You can't use your guns at Beecher's hope, but the last location it hides, you can. I never tried it and it's too late for me too, but something tells me you make a save right before grabbing it from it's final location. One save to unlock the trophy and the other to go back and shoot it open. Just a theory. It would make as a great troll for players like us that look at all the details in this game and still hunt for the 3rd meteorite. It's been sitting on John's shelf this WHOLE time LOL! [Edit]: My first guess was Abigail too. Around the Beecher's Hope it makes sense, but that final location is NO accident and that's when I started to think it was something more. Also the hiding locations around Beecher's hope make not sense if it is Abigail. John is a rancher, he's going to eventually see it hidden in the sheep's pen when you go to give them water. So my theory is if you or ANYONE has a old save prior to doing this or hasn't don it yet, shoot the squirrel when it's on top of mount Shann. Make a save before doing so.

I'm guessing Abigail has the same love for it as the mother had for the leg lamp in "A Christmas Story." Having not played the Story Mode, could Charles have taken it at Abigail's request, or was he not around at the time of it's final journey? Charles: "You won't need my help around here much longer." Abigail: "(Tom?) Oh, we can always use your help" 6:06 Maybe she can always use his help getting rid of the squirrely art. =)

It was the first game that I purchased for the platform in 2021. Never set foot in Story Mode because I got stung hard by Rockstar on the first "Red Dead Redemption" with them (SPOILER) for that 1 person who's never played the first game,... murdering off John Marston (/SPOILER) and wasn't about to let them rip my heart out, again.

A 3 star moose was almost my undoing. I followed all the online maps, all the KZfaq videos and every reddit tip. It took 38 days with roughly 4+ hours of play per day to finally find a 3 star male moose. The overarching plan was to stop playing the missions while Micah is stuck in Strawberry jail and Thomas Downes is awaiting Arthur to visit. It's the best time to focus and finish all of the side stuff. But 38 freakin days of checking the few spots where literally everyone else was finding them. Eff this game.

I have this idea that R* could've done. If you finish the hunting requests as Arthur, you get the squirrel dress as him. If you start as John or don't finsih as Arthur(continue as John) then the squirrel will dress up as John. . For Arthur he would lay the statue, on the table, in his tent next to the flower. Hosea or Dutch come by and the dialogue would be the same as Abigails, but of course it would be said differently.

Before this video I didn't know it was confirmed via the files that Abigail did it, but of course I thought she did. My wife thought she had Charles take it to Mount Shann for her, but in my playthrough, this didn't happen until after he had already left Beecher's Hope. It's actually not too far fetched to think she'd take it up there, it's not a hard ride to get to. There aren't any ledges to boost up, or gaps to jump. She could've done that trip easily. As far as why they chose that spot, no clue. If she REALLY wanted to get rid of it, they have two fires burning outside 24/7, clearly a fireplace in the bedroom, and Flat Iron Lake is nearby, she could've thrown it in there. My only thought of the location is, that UFO seems to hover right over Strawberry, and that's where Hobbs lives. Most likely coincidence, but it's all I got lol.
