Saw this painting with the Jade Mask in GTA 5 during the diamond casino heist, only posting because I searched for a good 20 minutes and saw no other posts online referencing this. Some aliens in the back and animal hieroglyphs at the top. (2 birds?)
Update: This ended up being nothing, just a texture pattern, leaving the post for historical reference in case somebody questions if this is part of the mystery. Photo in the comments.

Chapter 6 mission "Icarus and Friends" you can see the carving in this video at 18:02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOc7CTrTFbQ . Location in the comments.
Hi! Continuing on from my earlier post here - exploring the idea that the "2 Birds" clue is a lot more abstract than leading us to exactly 2 birds in the game (or Two Crows, or 2 gravestones with birds on them, etc.). It's been about 6 months and no bird-related clues have seemed to lead to anywhere concrete.
When playing through Chapter 6 recently Dutch says this idiom while talking to Arthur -"Some good honest conflict between the army and the Indians might be just the distraction we need. Kill two birds with one stone." The use of the term in relation to the army (Fort Wallace) and the Indians (feathers, dream catchers) stood out to me.
The Stone Hatchet was a RDR2 promotional item in GTA Online, which can only be accessed in RDR2 by playing through some bounty missions, and then completing the 25 kills challenge. This will unlock the Stone Hatchet found at the Native Burial site and earn the player $250,000 (not sure if the numbers 2,5 or 25 are relevant here...)
I'm not a GTA Online player, so I'm unsure if this weapon is still accessible in GTA Online and can be carried over to RDR2 in 2026. If it is, I think we should try to acquire it and interact with the webs with it (throwing the hatchet in different patterns at the webs).
Other notes / thoughts:
TL;DR - does any have the capabilities to bring the stone hatchet into RDR2 from GTA Online, and test it out on the webs?
In the mission A Rage Unleashed, Dutch says this to Arthur on their way to the horses on the Vanhorn boat:
"Some good honest conflict between the army and the Indians might be just the distraction we need. Kill two birds with one stone."
A reference to both the Indians and the army here is worth pointing out, as the Spider web "dream catcher" mystery leads us to Fort Wallace, with the two birds carving.
This mission also has interesting spawns - you will always ride by a fox overlooking a small ledge, and a man chasing 3 boars over a bridge.
Maybe something else is hiding within this mission, or should we maybe take Two Birds to = One Stone?
So has there been any updates since the bird carvings?
Salut, j'ai trouvé ceci en me baladant, je ne peux pas interagir avec, quelq'un sait ce que c'est?
I am a player that likes game dialogue; I like finding and hearing different/rare dialogue from the game.
This is something I recently recorded from Smithfields Saloon in Valentine, where Cliff the Bartender talks about "Jenny", apparently a sex worker that works there. It was important enough in the game for the game to subtitle it, while most of his conversations are not subtitled, unless related to another chance encounter that happens in front. I've heard him talk about Jenny before, but in unsubtitled dialogue. In this conversation, Arthur automatically reacts to what he says.
So, I've never seen a Jenny in Smithfields, so I am wondering if she was part of cut content. Although I've heard a few other unsubtitled conversations from Cliff, I am wondering if any of you modders/asset explorers with trainers that look at assets in the game have heard other audio referring to her, or even a ped model of what she looks like?
Does it have breakable sides or panels? I'll test it out in a few hours.
So, this is not really a proper mystery, but since there are many modders here that might be able to figure this game mechanic out from using a trainer on PC; I myself, am a console-only player.
So, I noticed many years ago, that during the stranger mission in which Arthur first meets Charles Chateney in Saint Denis, he gives him a unique item, a drawing. This drawing can be sold at the fence. The longer that Arthur hangs onto it, the value that he receives for selling it increases, which I assume requires many game days passing. This has been known and discussed before in some of the reddit Red Dead Redemption forums.
However, I just recently noticed a second item with this property. When the 15th out of 30 Dinosaur Bone Locations is mailed to Deborah MacGuiness, she mails back a unique item, a "Skull Statue". It can never be seen; it only exists as an icon in the satchel. likely due to the developers never getting around to implementing an "examine" function for some unique items which would have been handy.
So, the Skull Statue has no known purpose, other than it can be sold at the fence or donated to the donation box at camp. Since I've been keeping my nerdy spreadsheet on my current play through for valuables, I had originally had this item appraised at $50 when he first got it, I'm fairly certain of that value but I could have misrecorded it. It came from interacting with the donation box at camp when he first received it.
However, when I went to fence it to Seamus a couple of game months later, it increased in value to $75.
So, my questions are: How many unique items appreciate in value as game time passes? Are there maximum values after a given time period?
I realize that this is a very subtle game mechanic, but I would really like to know how exactly it works.
i found theese and i made more theory's to it wich i will mention in a post tommorow hopefully but i feel like theese two birds here are a new steps perchance and they would complete the Question mark and i noticed also that the strangers mission question mark is more curved in then a normal one this is at the Loft i thought of what would u see first and bam it was just there the place Arthur died at i noticed 2 eagles and i made a few theory's within a few mins after Downloading rdr2 again and honestly it might not be something but id stil keep it in mind what do u guys think?
as some of you know i posted a few pictures Yesterday and here as i said im gonna post the theory so what i came up with is most likley not true but it stil might lead as to an idea to what to do so i figured why not mark everything thats connected with the two birds and my old theory, basicly my old theory was a Connection between the birds from the giant that led u to him so i put thoose two spots up and then the question marks and i noticed that madam Nazar loves birds and has a bird so i connected that too what came out was a bird shape on the map, and from here on i kind of stopped but i also had other things Part of it that i noticed like the 2 things u pick up for Rains fall in his mission where u Sneak into the soldiers camp and its next to a corner where the cauldron is i also noticed the amounts of spiderwebs u can find around the entire place and that was that, so early before Yesterday i played rdr2 and did what i showed in my most recent post and i connected Arthurs and Eagle flies grave cuz Arthur has an Eagle on his Grave and Eagle Flies is Eagle flies and theyre just across eachother too and across from the eagles i found so i put thoose markers up too, since were talking about the birds and the clue and everything from what people discovered i thought why not mark the place hosea and Arthur failed the hunt on the legendary Bear?, because the theory the rdr2 community made before was that in Tahiti the two birds are lenny and hosea after they died and it would make great sense for 2 reasons its two birds and it feels like it might have a meaning to it after what i made up with the graves and not only that i also think that because Madam Nazar loves birds across the world if i remember correct, when i put all this together it made an eye shape sort of an Madam Nazar is gypsy and a witch so this would make great sense cuz she can see everything for thoose who dont know gypsys are concidered as witches, this is basicly everything about this theory i made about all connected to madam nazar and making an eye shape either im wrong or it is something.
I'm digging through ui_discovery.rpf and found icons like collectable_rock_carving, collectable_dreamcatcher, and dino bones — all of these have known fixed locations and show up properly on interactive maps.
But there's also a collectable_treasure_chest.ytd icon (a little padlocked chest), and I can't find any fixed location list for it anywhere. It's different from the treasure map icon (paper with an X) — this one's specifically the chest itself.
Does anyone know if this icon is actually plotted anywhere on the map, or if it's just a generic UI element used contextually (like when you're near a chest in Eagle Eye)? Any datamining info on this would be appreciated.
This rock is located at Strawberry Stable’s eastern intersection. It looks like it says the word “Hill” to me. The capital H is a little stylized with its center line extending and angling down. I checked surrounding hills but didn’t find anything, however I wasn’t very thorough.
Sorry for it being a photo of my TV and not an actual screenshot. Also sorry if this has been posted here before or is a known thing. I tried searching and couldn’t find anything about it.
