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 10.
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 10th 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. We'll start hunting for these near Strawberry
00:55
and work our way around the map anti-clockwise from west to east so you should be able to
01:00
pick them up in one long ride. The first is possibly the most awkward of
01:05
all of the rock carvings to actually collect. This one is located on the south west shore
01:09
of O'Angela Lake to the west of Strawberry itself. It's engraved on the highest rock
01:14
pile here, but although you can get up close and personal you'll need to stand on the
01:18
shore for the prompt to actually appear. The second is near Mount Shan. Follow the
01:28
path that takes you towards the summit and keep following it until you're right under
01:33
the T on the map and the road makes a bit of a snake shape as it turns down the mountain.
01:38
Here you'll not only find some giant bones, but a second rock carving on the right of
01:42
the rocks above the path. Next head to the cliffs of Limpeny and head
01:51
to the southern end of them. Here, overlooking that burnt out settlement, recessed deep in
01:56
the cliff face you'll find your third rock carving.
02:11
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
02:47
of you. For the fifth one, head to the northern shore
03:00
of the Elysian Pool. From here head east and you'll see a rather large rock carving high
03:06
up on the jutting cliff to your left 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 Bacchus Station and north east of
03:54
Fort Wallace. Follow the road up to the north east from Fort Wallace until you see an unmarked
03:58
path snake up a large hill. Head up here until you reach two stone peaks. Pass between
04:10
them and then follow the path around to the left. When the path splits, go downhill and
04:21
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
04:45
the map until you reach a broken rope bridge. Now turn back on yourself and make sure you
04:53
go up into the trees on the cliff above. Head to the edge and you'll see another ledge
05:04
below. Drop down there and then walk to the edge where you'll find the rock carving on
05:16
the cliff face to your left, directly above 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 10 Red Dead Redemption 2 rock carvings. All that's left to do now
06:18
is send your findings back to Francis Sinclair. A note though, if you hand in all 10 coordinates
06:23
at once, you'll have to retrieve your mail over a number of in-game days. The first time
06:28
you get it, you'll get the $10 reward and Kentucky bourbon that you would have got for
06:32
handing in one set of coordinates and you'll also get the rock statue that you get for
06:36
handing in five. Then you'll have to go back again a little later to collect Francis Sinclair's
06:41
invitation letter. Once you have it, head back to Sinclair's cabin near Strawberry
06:45
to discover the true meaning of the rock carvings.
07:15
My husband? Yeah. He's dead. He's been dead since just before Francis was born one year ago.
07:23
Your husband, Francis, is dead? No, this is Francis. My husband, Tom, is dead.
07:33
I'm a little confused. Yes, I think you are. What was your name?
07:39
That's not important. Excuse me.
07:44
So, what's actually happened here? 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
07:55
the future. If you study all the documents pinned up on the wall, which are the same
07:59
images as the rock carvings, it seems like Francis has been travelling through time portals
08:04
and going on little adventures, 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? Maybe. It's certainly something to investigate,
08:19
and please let us know your theories in the comments below.
