Among the many mysteries hidden within Red Dead Redemption 2, <\/a>one continues to captivate players and leave them scratching their heads: the Spider Dream Mystery. Even eight years after the game’s release, RDR2<\/a> remains filled with unsolved secrets, but this particular mystery stands apart. According to those who have investigated it, even the developers believed it might never be discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We’ve explored numerous mysteries and Easter eggs in Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> before, but the Spider Dream Mystery deserves special attention. Its complexity, combined with the fact that it appears to be unfinished, has made it one of the game’s most intriguing and enduring enigmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spider Dream Mystery: Findings In Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Spider Dream Mystery is an unsolved and highly elaborate, time-sensitive Easter egg in RDR2. For years it went unnoticed by players worldwide until 2025. Late that year, members of the Red Dead Redemption<\/a> 2 community discovered a series of spired-web clues hidden across the in-game map. The more users started commenting and searching for the signs of this mystery, the more clues and theories appeared. However, the Spider Dream Mystery is still unsolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is what is known so far: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagram In Butcher Creek <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first occurrence of this mystery appears in Butcher creek around 4am and 5 am. You\u2019ll have to find a glowing pentagram symbol underneath a burned house. It is right under the letter R in the \u201cNew Hanover\u201d indication on the in-game map. This mark will only be visible between the mentioned hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Additionally to this location, you\u2019ll find five outhouses surrounding the Butcher Creek area, each of them bearing a tally mark in order from one to five. If you follow the path numerically, you\u2019ll form the shape of a pentagram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the fourth location of the pentagram you\u2019ll also find the letters \u201cLJ SM\u201d and a symbol representing Fort Brennand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiderwebs on Telephone Poles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive at Fort Brennand the tally mark for six on a door and the one for seven on a wall. Behind the number seven, at the other side of the wall you\u2019ll find three more symbols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first resembles a cross or a telephone pole, the second a factory, and the third one a\u00a0rock or a puddle. These symbols on the wall are the beginning of the Spider Dream Mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The factory symbol refers to the Cornwall Kerosene & Tar factory on the Northwest of New Hanover. Above the H on the map. Here you\u2019ll find the factory and if\u00a0you find the telephone post\u00a0that aligns the telephone pole, the factory and the puddles, you\u2019ll find the next clue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Search for the spider symbol on the telephone post. This is both the clue on where to find the spiderwebs and the number eight in this tally mark-journey. As spiders have eight limbs, this counts as the number eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the spider webs, you\u2019ll have to return to this site during the night between 2am and 3am. The spider webs will not appear if it is not at this specific time. Using the spider engraving on the map you\u2019ll be able to locate the other telephone poles with clues on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Centre of the Spider<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you travel to the centre of the spider on the map, you\u2019ll find a massive hidden spiderweb located in a tree intersection. You\u2019ll find it northeast from the first E in Lemoyne. It appears\u00a0at night between 1am and 2am in-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the centre of this\u00a0massive web displays the letter N and a Telephone pole. From here, head directly north. Once you reach the following pole, shoot the telegraph pole to reveal the hidden message that indicates W (west) and five telephone poles. From here travel west and shoot the 5th telegraph pole down to reveal the next\u00a0message.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shooting the final pole reveals a guitar symbol and the Letter \u201cNW\u201d, which will point you northwest towards Fort Wallace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arrival at Fort Wallace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you follow northwest, north from Cumberland Forest, you\u2019ll arrive at Fort Wallace. A military fort highly protected in the forest. This location is normally inaccessible for the players without mods. With the exception of chapter 6 between the missions of\u00a0The King’s Son and Our Best Selves. During this time we can use the tunnel that Arthur and Charles used to rescue Eagle Flies from the soldiers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Spider<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once inside Fort Wallace, you can continue with the investigation of the Spired Dream Mystery. And the first clue arrives quickly as you can locate one guitar in the centre of the patio, on a table. However you cannot interact with the object, inspect it, or pick it up to play it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this lack of interaction with the guitar another question surfaces this investigation. If we have been following directions this whole time. Why would it be different now? So if we follow where the guitar is pointing, we\u2019ll reach one of the buildings on the fort. But inside this building, there is nothing of note. Apart from a card from the \u2018Notorious Gunslingers\u2019 set, which features Emet Granger. The vast majority of users do not link this gunslinger to the mystery at hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we continue to investigate inside For Wallace, we\u2019ll discover that the Guitar on the patio is not the only one. Inside one of the watch towers we\u2019ll find a second guitar. This one is leaning against the wall and pointing up. From here, you can climb out a window and up to the roof of the watch tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is where the theory starts to divide in different interpretations. As mentioned before, the Spider Dream Mystery is still unsolved, and here is where users have different opinions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
