I love how off tune Arthur is while singing the song.
He makes up for it with his artistic skills in his journal.
In camp there is no option to sing along but Arthur can sing Otis Miller while drunk sobI guess strang man edited Arthur's drunk singing into the gang members singing
@@purpledragons1146 there is an option to sing along
@@pedrocosta7938 you can't sing along to the song Javier sings when Jack is rescued. Not even while drunk
@@spelareNR14 all the other ones can be sung
I always have goosebumps when I hear the gang sing together, they were a family and a lovely one
Same
Let me ride on the ring dang Doo, ring dang Doo now what is that, soft and round like a pussycat, got a hole in the middle and split in two, that's watcha call a ring dang Doo.
@@JimsRavioli VV
Especially when you return to the campsites as John and you can hear them singing!
Fun fact: When you return to the campsites as John, if there's a song playing Uncle is usually singing along.
The Uncle who is singing there was John O'Creagh.
Who voiced and did the motion capture for Uncle in RDR1.
He passed away in 2016, 2 years before the release of RDR2.
There are rumours that the game was delayed in 2017 because Rockstar had to act fast and find a new actor for Uncle in 1899 - 1907.
@@Justme-pt1ld I went to like three camps as john and nothing triggered :( Couldnt hear nothin
I found Otis Miller’s belongings by accident without even having the map
Just wondering around and you saw a unique weapon icon on your map? That's how I found it
Aaron Greatrex-Sweeney excact same thing happened to me haha
When I got the map it was with Authur. I ran around trying to find it - of course I couldn't. Later, as John, I stumbled upon the cave and found it while looking for dinosaur bones.
BRAH good job!
I never knew the map existed until today lmao
I just really love exploring and taking my time
To me this is the most credible rdr2 Easter egg and secret channel. No one else seems to go so deep in their research and not upload untill they know for sure they uncovered everything.
He is like the Oxhorn of Red Dead Redemption 2
@@JoseMonkeys Fizhy / Strange Man are the best content creators of RDR2 , facts /research/no clickbait/hard work and dedication , this 2 guys have my full gratitude .
Word up.
@@tiberiuv.8398 gotta give props to hazard for reporting on red dead online, even after the game was abandoned
Arthur also sings the "cowardly killer" line randomly when drunk outside of camp too. Funny how even something as small as a map has a story attached to it like this.
Reference to The assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford
I am convinced that this channel is run by the actual Strange Man. I mean, he exists at all times, right? Past, present, and future? Yep. It's really him running this channel. Scary.
If he ever starts talking in his videos, I imagine he's going to sound exactly like him too.
He doesn't know our names though
@@nocturnal5eyedmoth151 We don't know that.
@@nocturnal5eyedmoth151 he knows mine lmao
@@nocturnal5eyedmoth151 When you're watching his videos he's watching you
I feel i lot less guilty about shooting that hermit for his shotgun right now!! Damn, man. How do you find this things?? And i all happy for that 100% trophie when there is actually so many secrets i didn´t know until i watch your videos. Great work!!!
Dude the bird feather and Orchids challenge was a royal pain in the ass!!!!
@@themanwithnoname2857 Damn right!!!! But i love this game so much i already completed 100% tree times since released.
Yeah, I just didn't have it in me to kill a random fella to steal his gun. Now I can go back and blast him. Yay!
yeah me and all my homies hate charlie tatum
You can get his rare shotgun without killing him. I'm currently on a low honour playthrough and as it happens I went to the old mans shack yesterday but didn't have the heart to kill him.....I left his shack with his map, hat, and rare shotgun, and left him alive 👍
me: oh look an old lady hermit. hey look she has part of a map.
also me: hey look, this old dude has another part to the map.
then there's me: ok so i put the map together and found the treasure of otis miller's belongings. the riddle has been solved. that is it. there is nothing left here to explore, case closed, i have solved this 100%.
STRANGEMAN: hold my video editing software login password
... I didn't even found the treasure
Hahan't
I didn’t even find the hermits I just found the treasure.
@@valhatan3907 Same here! I need to crank up the game again!
I’m trying to 100% the game rn. The wasp requests are so annoying.
What a life Arthur Morgan had: Robed banks, homesteads, trains all over the country. Killed the whole Jimmy Boy Calloway's gang, except Black Belle. Killed the Ottis Miller murderer and found the gunsliger's belongings' location. Been in a party at the San Denis' mayor's house. Killed huge legendary animals. Killed Alberto Fusar and fred Guarma people. Had contact with ghosts. Slept with Abigail Roberts. Had close encounters of the 3rd kind. Twice. Punched the Micah Bell's face before passing away.
Respect! Legend
"slept with abigail roberts" -- hold up... what?...
@@SilverWolf03 well, abigail has been slept with all gang members according to rdr2 wiki
@@SilverWolf03 Yeppers.
John isn't Jack's only father.
In my opinion I think Arthur haven't slept with Abigail because we do know he had a lover and a son who got killed for 5 dollars also Arthur never approached prostitutes and keeps rejecting them in game so I don't think he would sleep with her even tho he did mentioned that he deserved Abigail more than John in his book.
Lone wolf Personally I think Arthur did, why else would John get mad when Arthur acts like a father figure towards Jack but not mad at Hosea when he's teaching Jack & Micah when he's making advances on Abigail right in front of him? Hosea had bessy & Micah wasn't in the picture before Jack was born. Etc.
This game needs more single player content and no more content for the obnoxious broken toxic online part
“Broken” “toxic” how can it be toxic if all the lobbies are one or two people
This game won't see more single player content
Rdr2 needs a dlc
Car fax
Online is great and is not toxic they’ve done enough for story mode
Poor Otis had a wife, to mourn for his life.
Three children, they were brave.
Great song 👌
Nice rhymes brother
Dragonictus I read this in drunk Arthur’s voice
Raul Diaz me too
@Punch Down King that means Otis most likely died in the mid 1890s due to the life expectancy of dogs
Also of note, you get the Rare Shotgun from Charlie as well. In the card, Otis is posing with it (maybe) so it could be further proof of his guilt.
Side note, if you stumble on the cabin and don’t know he has said op shotgun and picks you off, he won’t be there again when you get back, so I assume he thought you were a bounty hunter and took off for good, taking his trophy with him.
Vincent Bari The Rolling Block, yes. At the hermits shack (the Charlie I am talking about) is where the shotty drops.
10-gallon hat Charlie must have bought the same super-powerful shotgun model that Tumbleweed's sheriff has.
One shot, one kill!
Drew Goin Or stacked it with a dollar eighty in dimes.
I've killed him and grabbed his rare shotgun, but a couple of story missions later i went to his house and he was there, now with a normal shotgun
@@nbmaheswara yeah, he respawns. Even if he kills you you can wait a few days and go back for his gun
“But that cowardly killer who shot Mr Miller, laid poor Otis in his grave”
I never picked up on the hints that Otis was inspired by Jesse James until the song in the camp, mostly because the south refers to Jesse’s killer as The Coward Robert Ford.
Awesome research man! Thanks for giving me credit in the Valentine Curse video also, that was cool of you Boah!
I can't believe that he's still finding more secret stuff about the game.
Edit: wow guys thanks for the likes!!
ikr
@wooosh me reddit kids ?
@wooosh me reddit kids why would you do that?
@@osarotongo7833 the game is so huge who knows how many secrets are just lying around
wooosh me reddit kids are you ok?
I keep saying this but it’s insane the amount of work they’ve put into building this world. It really feels real when there’s so much to discover and find out, so much thought put into every little detail. Really hope they keep expanding on this universe
I hear Arthur sing this song when hes running around drunk, but never heard the gang sing this song, good job.
Strange Man=Legend of the West
Another great masterpiece once again by the Strange Man
Edit: thx for likes much appreciated
Asianlife 30 These videos really are great.
Strange Man is really good.
It’s always a good time when strange man uploads
UA-cam says this comment was published 19 years ago?? wtf
i always wonder how much fun the actors were having when they sang these campfire songs, they’re so fun!
Your editing Is phenomenal!
7:09 That cloud lit up by the hidden moon looks just like the "Like" button... I noticed it just as I clicked on the thumbs up, so now I'm thinking this was some kind of subliminal message. Either way, great video, as always.
Holy! Arthur sings parts of that song out loud when he's drunk!
Damn Hermit one shot me once. Ever since then I've always had a hatred for him.
@wooosh me reddit kids why?
wooosh me reddit kids what’s your problem
That kid deleted his comment what an embarrassment
Oscar Francisco I bet his mommy heard he said a naughty word
@@ifitsnotbrokedontfixit24435 he probably drank the Kool Aid
It is crazy that I haven't found half of this shit while in my 100s of hours in the game.
Fr
I still find new stuff even after 400+ hrs of gameplay.
Zainab Binte Imran no one gives a shit
Wtf do you even do in game if you haven't find everything yet
Amazing video as always.
Fuck you🖕🏻
@@javierescuella731 Lmao you weird bro.
@@javierescuella731 wow! I may not like Zac either but I’d never say fuck you to him (I do like you zac)
It’s unreal how well these videos are researched and edited. Easily my favorite RDR2 content creator.
To anyone trying this out: there’s also a unique shotgun in the first cabin! Make sure to grab it whilst you’re there because that’s your only chance
Wow can’t believe it’s been 3 years since you put this video out.
First I just wanna say I love how deticated you are to finding everything in this game and your Gavin theory is by far the most correct out of anyone’s theories but I beg you to do some investigating on the rock carving missions with Francis Sinclair and see if you can find anything out about his time traveling
Anyone seeing this that also wants to know more about him please like this comment I often scold people who beg for likes but I really want him to see this comment and figure out more about Francis
I cannot stress this enough how much I LOVE your content and your channel! Like everytime I watch a new video im so amazed by it. The videos are well put together, I learn stuff i never even knew about. and I always wait for a new video to be uploaded. This channel is just perfect for the whole mysteries and secrets.
Ohhh I'm going to sub to your oatreon in a bit! Love these vids
good choice
@wooosh me reddit kids why you watching this video in the first place?
I love how you don't show your face or let us here your voice. You let the game shine giving us more reasons to love it. Much respect for not being a common " youtuber "
I play strange man's videos at 1.5 speed and the music always sounds more unnerving when its sped up lol
I love the detail of the gang singing slightly out of timing with each other sometimes.
No matter how many times they’ve probably sung it, everyone plays the song differently in their head. Arthur’s singing is also goddamn adorable lol.
Great video. I was wonder could you cover Mrs Hobbs and that John Marston squirrel.
I love the Marston squirrel. That little outfit...
Love the perfectly timed tackle at the end of the video! And I no longer feel bad for shooting the tiny hermit. He deserves it. As for the lady hermit, I'll do my best to avoid killing her in the future. I get so much out of Strange Man's videos. I've learned alot, and he does so well backing up his theories. And, they are beautifully done as well. Beautiful cinematography.
This game has so much more detail and depth than it's given credit for
People are so quick to review games these days but a game like this isn't just meant to be aged through and put down. I hope Rockstar never becomes cookie cutter because its small but very detailed things like this that draw people to their brand
There is just so much lore in rdr2, and I simply love Strange man is taking advantage of it with such good 'what if' sort of content.
Did anyone ever figure out what that skull on a post is? A short ways west of Fort Briggs. It doesn't seem like a normal grave. It seems to point away towards broken tree.
I'm sure it has something to do with the Fort Riggs massacre, since it's a native's grave (very similar to Eagle Flies' grave) and just up the hill from the fort, but I didn't notice the broken tree...
Strange man is the only one who can make INTERESTING and BELIEVABLE theory in RDR2.
He is so good but still not recognized by many..
Keep up the good work mate. Absolutely love your work, your edits and your song choices.
You are just killing it.
When you forgot to clear your internet history 2:32
Oof..
I stumbled upon this channel when you made the wolf man video, it astonishes me that you can still find interesting content to show us viewers several months later. Keep up the hard work friend.
Hey, could you do a video on the demolished buildings around Coots Chapel in New Austin? I found in two of the buildings pieces of wood arranged in a cross. Just wondered if this meant something.
The amount of details and how everything is interconnected in rdr2 is mind-blowing. About as mind-blowing as the top-notch editing in this video. Chapeau, Strange Man !
i've noticed while playing the building house mission in the epilogue with John, Unlce, and Charles, there is a blue jay that's very close to the gang as they work. Sometimes, it'll be pretty close to John or somewhere in the backshot. could this blue jay mean something?
Mordecai. Regular Show DLC confirmed.
i mean, its cinematic
@wooosh me reddit kids then why the fuck did you take time to make a damn comment saying you don’t give a shit
Hidden game files for igbyr the ripped talking raccoon
There's a very old theory that says the blue Jay is Arthur
Yah! New video! Been looking forward to this brother! Good work! Love your vids man!
What do you know about Douglas Gray and Lucille Braithwaite?
Back in 1806 they had a secret relationship ... but what does Douglas' letter mean and are there more information about them?
You do some masterful editing. I really enjoyed relaxing to this one.
Red Dead 3 needs to be a prequel set 20 years before red dead 2
this is what I've said as well. They should make a remaster of Red Dead Revolver but have it open world and full of rich content like the two Redemption games.
Im up for a remastered red dead revolver than just more prequels of the van der lin gang.
I'm hoping for just a Remastered RDR1 with only slight content tweaks to account for RDR2.
Yes, an expanded remake of Revolver with an open world the size of RDR2.
I doubt theyll make an RDR3 and if they do it won't be anytime soon and if they do it might be about Dutch's life but if that happens you won't see Arthur until the end and my guess is that if that ever happens you play as a younger Arthur at the end idk
Wow I would've never put that together in a million years. Well done! It all makes sense now. It also explains why you get a legendary gun when you kill him and it explains why he can one shot kill you. Love your channel!
I've killed this hermit many times but he always respawns when i come back to his house. Is there any other secret i haven't found besides the rare shotgun and map or is he supposed to be immortal? I have a total completion of 97.4 btw only thing that's left are some challenges and study some animals and i'll reach 100%
The NPC can respawn if he or she isn’t involved in the story so yes he’s immortal
The way you present these kind of secrets are like a movie, it’s like a plot twist of games that changes the way you look at the little stuff.
I don’t know if the owner of this channel is like 18 years old college gamer, or a 50 year old philosopher.
Both 🤔....
I enjoy your casual cinematic bass boom drops quite a bit.
Is everything in this game connected??
Or dose strangeman work with rockstar
The way you create your videos , smooth and just wow . Amazing work again man!
I love those videos, cant get enough man. Sound and pictures are on point!
I seriously was thinking u running out of content......
But this was another great video of yours........
Keep it up...!!!!!
7:10 you are incredible at making these videos, my hat is off to you. Very well done.
Hey my guy, keep at your craft. It’s really cool that you use the RDR font, you obviously put a lot of attention, investment and camera angles into each video. You’ll blow up. You’re the best out there for the RDR fans.
Holy shit. Your best one yet. That is saying a lot. All are masterpieces, but this one was the best by far. Well done!
Bravo! The amount of effort and research you put into your videos is astonishing. The music, cinematics, are just the cause for an undivided attention. :D
Thanks to this strange man im loving red dead more and more.
This is so brilliant. Please keep
uploading!!!
I came across this yesterday and wanted to suggest it to you! Crazy
You are so underrated you need to be known for all the RDR2 players that want to know the lore and be entertained
i swear this is the underrated youtuber ever keep up with the good work!!
That editing is so on point dude
Every video you make amazes me more and more, awesome work!
Thanks, next play through I won't feel so bad shooting the hermit for his map and his gun. I loved this one, thank you so much.
My Sunday is now complete. Great video!
Mind blown once again..... Also incredible editing, thanks
I'm always amazed how good your videos are. The atmosphere you create is insanely creepy and I love it!
This man's theories are the only ones on the internet that make sense to me
Its been 2 years since rdr2 was released and strange man still finding amazing stuff.Hats of
The ending of the video is just satisfying! A great video really!
I would like to assume that micah is panicking in the background while everyone sings this song 😂
The qualität of this content is incredible! :) keep it up
Strange man is my favorite rdr channel by far.
I just love how you kick in the door and wait for it to close before blasting his head back to the 17th century
Conteúdo incrível, completa ainda mais a história.
Um grande salve, aqui do Brasil
These little stories hidden in notes and background information is one of the best parts of this game
Wow, this video was so damn good. I really like this video. And I was shocked how you did the ending, wow. Nice video fella :).
Just when you manage to make a competent argument for your own rdr2 theories.
You watch a strange man video that not only blows away your own theory includes two other game components you forgot or brushed off as side notes.
Love your content strange man
And damn you strange man
This is where you reply saying
"Many have"
It's from John and strange in rd1
But i am sure you know that already strange man
Ha! Loved at the end you made a dramatic shot scene with that bastard little hermit!
What a great job fella, your videos always keeps my attention, even in somethings i already know. Pretty cool man!!!
This guy is beyond any other youtuber who makes rdr2 videos.
Your editing is phenomenal 😍
Thanks for this birthday present strange man lol love your vids
Being a game developer for a project like RDR2 must be grueling but so rewarding and creatively amazing. You ground your reality to this world, throw every bit of reality inspired detail you can possibly fit into a game and then bam, RDR2 exists.
beautiful vid the song was actually describing his life
I think Otis Miller's story is the same as Arthur's.
They both got betrayed by the gang they were in, they both help people and they're famous
the more i see of this game the more i appreciate it. i got this game when it came out and i really liked it but there were things i really disliked. But coming back to it and watching these videos about all these secret stuff in the game makes me like this game more.
Amazing job, as always. Especially editing. Thank you.
Excellent editing skills. Awesome!
fun fact, the only reason jesse james did what he did is because pinkertons(yes, THOSE pinkertons) threw a bomb into his familys house to try and kill him. well, he wasnt home. his brother and mom were though. it killed his brother, and blew his moms arm off. the rest is history.
The editing during the final song is award worthy
Absolutely brilliant!!!!
I found the treasure on my own, and I realized the inspiration by the Jesse James saga. But this lore is amazing. Never assumed... You Sir are a genius
This channel is phenomenal.
Those 4 dislikes are 4 idiots that don’t have a clue how to do this kind of thing. You’re great Strangeman, a hell of an RDR2 channel.
I love the last shots where you take sweet vengeance
