There are plenty of collectibles to gather in Red Dead Redemption 2, and one of the more
00:07
mysterious ones are the rock carvings, which are strange images engraved into the stones
00:12
found throughout the world. Here's where to find all ten.
00:21
This mission begins when you speak to Francis Sinclair, a stranger that you'll find outside
00:26
his cabin, north-west of Strawberry. Once you've mailed him the tenth set of coordinates,
00:45
you'll be able to complete this particular stranger mission by reading his invitation
00:49
and then visiting him again at this cabin.
00:53
We'll start hunting for these near Strawberry and work our way around the map anti-clockwise,
00:58
from west to east, so you should be able to pick them up in one long ride.
01:03
The first is possibly the most awkward of all of the rock carvings to actually collect.
01:07
This one is located on the south-west shore of O'Angela Lake, to the west of Strawberry
01:12
itself. It's engraved on the highest rock pile here, but although you can get up close
01:16
and personal, you'll need to stand on the shore for the prompt to actually appear.
01:26
The second is near Mount Shan. Follow the path that takes you towards the summit, and
01:31
keep following it until you're right under the T on the map and the road makes a bit
01:35
of a snake shape as it turns down the mountain. Here you'll not only find some giant bones,
01:40
but a second rock carving on the right of the rocks above the path.
01:49
Next head to the cliffs of Limpini and head to the southern end of them. Here, overlooking
01:54
that burnt out settlement, recessed deep in the cliff face, you'll find your third rock
02:11
carving.
02:12
For the fourth, head to the southern point of Moonstone Pond, to the south of Grizzlies
02:16
East in Amberino. Then go towards the area where the ground rises to the south-east of
02:21
the pond. Make your way up the side using the little grass path, and then aim for the
02:25
rocky outcrops beyond. Move past the first one, and then make your way towards the second
02:34
large outcrop, but duck down the path that juts off to the right before it. Follow the
02:43
grass around and you'll see the pyramid themed rock carving in the stones in front
02:46
of you.
02:58
For the fifth one, head to the northern shore of the Elysian Pool. From here, head east
03:05
and you'll see a rather large rock carving high up on the jutting cliff to your left
03:08
if you're on the path.
03:18
The sixth can be found east of Deer Cottage. Once you arrive here, follow the path up a
03:22
bit until you can access the rock face behind it. Move along the first level of the cliff
03:29
face and the rock carving is right there, just loitering above Deer Cottage.
03:49
The seventh is on a cliff face on a peak south-west of Backus Station and north-east of Fort Wallace.
03:55
Follow the road up to the north-east from Fort Wallace until you see an unmarked path
03:59
snake up a large hill. Head up here until you reach two stone peaks. Pass between them
04:11
and then follow the path around to the left. When the path splits, go downhill and the
04:21
rock carving is engraved onto the cliff to your left.
04:40
For the eighth one, follow the road that turns east above the sea in Cumberland Forest on
04:45
the map until you reach a broken rope bridge.
04:51
Now turn back on yourself and make sure you go up into the trees on the cliff above. Head
05:02
to the edge and you'll see another ledge below. Drop down there and then walk to the
05:14
edge where you'll find the rock carving on the cliff face to your left, directly above
05:18
the rope bridges.
05:28
The ninth one is also near a wooden bridge. On the bank on the left-hand side of the Wynyard
05:33
Strait where the wooden bridge crosses it is the ninth rock carving, engraved on the
05:37
stone a few feet up the thin path from the bridge.
05:54
And finally to find the tenth rock carving, follow the map up into Mount Hagen until the
05:58
point is about to reach its natural conclusion. The rock carving is pretty obvious from the
06:02
path there on the rock face to your right.
06:14
So that's where to find all ten Red Dead Redemption 2 rock carvings. All that's left
06:18
to do now is send your findings back to Francis Sinclair. A note though, if you hand in all
06:23
ten coordinates at once, you'll have to retrieve your mail over a number of in-game
06:27
days. The first time you get it, you'll get the $10 reward and Kentucky bourbon that
06:31
you would have got for handing in one set of coordinates and you'll also get the rock
06:34
statue that you get for handing in five. Then you'll have to go back again a little later
06:39
to collect Francis Sinclair's invitation letter. Once you have it, head back to Sinclair's
06:44
cabin near Strawberry to discover the true meaning of the rock carvings.
07:03
Oh, hello. Can I help you? Oh, I'm sorry for intruding. Mrs. Sinclair? Yes, how did you
07:12
know? I'm looking for your husband. My husband? Yeah. He's dead. He's been dead since just
07:20
before Francis was born one year ago. Your husband Francis is dead? No, this is Francis.
07:29
My husband Tom is dead. I'm a little confused. Yes, I think you are. What was your name?
07:40
That's not important. Excuse me. So what's actually happened here? Well, it seems that
07:47
Francis Sinclair is a baby now, but the guy you saw at the beginning of this mission is
07:53
also Francis Sinclair, but from the future. If you study all the documents pinned up on
07:58
the wall, which are the same images as the rock carvings, it seems like Francis has been
08:02
travelling through time portals and going on little adventures, but coming back to this
08:07
Wild West timeline to record them. Why is another question, as is the location of the
08:12
portal he's using now. Is it possible to find it in the world? Maybe. It's certainly
08:17
something to investigate and please let us know your theories in the comments below.
