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
00:25
his cabin northwest of Strawberry. Once you've mailed him the tenth set of coordinates, you'll
00:46
be able to complete this particular stranger mission by reading his invitation and then
00:50
visiting him again at this cabin. We'll start hunting for these near Strawberry and work
00:56
our way around the map anti-clockwise from west to east, so you should be able to pick
01:00
them up in one long ride. The first is possibly the most awkward of all of the rock carvings
01:06
to actually collect. This one is located on the southwest shore of O'Angela Lake to the
01:11
west of Strawberry itself. It's engraved on the highest rock pile here, but although you
01:15
can get up close and personal, you'll need to stand on the shore for the prompt to actually
01:19
appear.
01:26
The second is near Mount Shan. Follow the path that takes you towards the summit, and keep
01:31
following it until you're right under the T on the map and the road makes a bit of a
01:35
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
For the fourth, head to the cliffs of Limpeni and head to the southern end of them. Here,
01:54
overlooking that burnt out settlement, recessed deep in the cliff face, you'll find your
01:56
third rock carving.
02:03
head to the south of Grizzlies East in Amberino. Then go towards the area where the ground rises
02:20
to the south east of the pond. Make your way up the side using the little grass path,
02:24
and then aim for the rocky outcrops beyond. Move past the first one, and then make your
02:33
way towards the second large outcrop, but duck down the path that juts off to the right before
02:38
it. Follow the grass around, and you'll see the pyramid-themed rock carving in the stones
02:46
in front of you. For the fifth one, head to the northern shore of the Elysian Pool. From here, head east,
03:04
and you'll see a rather large rock carving high up on the jutting cliff to your left if
03:08
you're on the path.
03:11
The sixth can be found east of Deer Cottage. Once you arrive here, follow the path up a bit
03:23
until you can access the rock face behind it. Move along the first level of the cliff face,
03:30
and the rock carving is right there, just loitering above Deer Cottage.
03:36
The seventh is on a cliff face on a peak south-west of Bacchus 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.
04:10
Pass between them, and then follow the path around to the left.
04:18
When the path splits, go downhill and the 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 the map
04:45
until you reach a broken rope bridge.
04:50
Now turn back on yourself, and make sure you go up into the trees on the cliff above.
05:02
Head to the edge, and you'll see another ledge below.
05:05
Drop down there, and then walk to the edge where you'll find the rock carving on the cliff face to your left,
05:17
directly above the rope bridges.
05:28
The ninth one is also near a wooden bridge.
05:30
On the bank on the left-hand side of the Wynyard Strait, where the wooden bridge crosses it,
05:35
is the ninth rock carving.
05:36
Engraved on the stone a few feet up the thin path from the bridge.
05:40
And finally, to find the tenth rock carving, follow the map up into Mount Hagen, until the point is about to reach its natural conclusion.
06:00
The rock carving is pretty obvious from the path there, on the rock face to your right.
06:04
So that's where to find all ten Red Dead Redemption 2 rock carvings.
06:17
All that's left to do now is send your findings back to Francis Sinclair.
06:20
A note though, if you hand in all ten coordinates at once, you'll have to retrieve your mail over a number of in-game days.
06:26
The first time you get it, you'll get the $10 reward and Kentucky Bourbon that you would have got for handing in one set of coordinates,
06:33
and you'll also get the rock statue that you get for handing in five.
06:36
Then you'll have to go back again a little later to collect Francis Sinclair's invitation letter.
06:41
Once you have it, head back to Sinclair's cabin near Strawberry to discover the true meaning of the rock carvings.
06:47
Hello? Hello? Mr. Sinclair?
07:02
Huh?
07:04
Oh, hello? Can I help you?
07:07
Oh, I'm sorry for intruding. Mrs. Sinclair?
07:11
Yes? How did you know?
07:12
I'm looking for your husband.
07:14
My husband?
07:15
Yeah.
07:16
He's dead. He's been dead since just before Francis was born one year ago.
07:23
Your husband, Francis, is dead?
07:26
No, this is Francis. My husband, Tom, is dead.
07:32
Uh, I'm a little confused.
07:35
Yes, I think you are. What was your name?
07:42
That's not important. Excuse me.
07:44
Excuse me.
07:45
So what's actually happened here?
07:46
Well, it seems that Francis Sinclair is a baby now.
07:50
But the guy you saw at the beginning of this mission is also Francis Sinclair, but from the future.
07:56
If you study all the documents pinned up on the wall, which are the same images as the rock carvings,
08:00
the rock carvings, it seems like Francis has been traveling through time portals and going on little adventures,
08:05
but coming back to this Wild West timeline to record them.
08:09
Why is another question, as is the location of the portal he's using now.
08:14
Is it possible to find it in the world?
08:16
Maybe.
08:17
It's certainly something to investigate, and please let us know your theories in the comments below.
