The gaming world is buzzing with excitement as players of Red Dead Redemption 2 dive into an intriguing mystery that has remained hidden within the game for years. This thrilling enigma involves a series of spiderwebs appearing on telegraph poles across the game’s expansive landscape, igniting a quest for answers among fans.
After more than seven years since the game’s release, a dedicated group of enthusiasts recently uncovered this mystery, realizing they had stumbled upon something previously unreported. Spiderwebs emerge on eight telegraph poles throughout the in-game world, each appearing during a specific nighttime hour.
The Spiderweb Enigma
Two weeks into the discovery, new clues have come to light, confirming that these webs are a deliberate secret embedded by Rockstar for players to unravel. The webs contain feathers that can be shot free, but they manifest only for an hour of in-game time each night, echoing a familiar spiderweb mystery in GTA 5. This recent revelation has players recalling the dreamcatcher quest in Red Dead Redemption 2, exploring new depths of the game’s mysteries.
In late December 2025, a video by the Rockstar fan channel Strange Man credited three fans—goldenplaysterraria, pariah87, and u/FL4VA-01—for the discovery. Comments from viewers confirmed that this secret has been present since the game’s initial 2018 launch.
Unraveling The Mystery
As of last week, a new update described the second phase of this unfolding mystery. Players found that the spiderwebs lead to a central web featuring cryptic designs: a direction marked “N” and a symbol of another telegraph pole. Following this northwards direction leads to yet another pole, revealing further guidance hidden beneath its bark.
Just yesterday, a video surfaced detailing the current status of the mystery. Players are now decoding a final cryptic message on a telegraph pole, depicting a direction and a guitar symbol. This latest clue has led them to explore Fort Wallace, the nearest location with guitars, while they map out every guitar in the game seeking further revelations.
The Quest Continues
Where will this mystery lead? Players remain uncertain, but the consensus is that there’s much more to uncover. Although it’s unlikely Rockstar is teasing new content, such as single-player DLC, the discovery is a thrilling adventure for Red Dead Redemption 2 fans, offering fresh intrigue as they await news of potential re-releases or updates to the game.
