Red Dead Redemption 2 is filled to the brim with various Easter eggs, much of which have little to do with Arthur Morgan's actual story. In fact, some of the Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter eggs contain nods and references to past Rockstar Games titles. This is something

Luckily, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues this trend of small, subtle nods mixed in with more deliberately weird references. From yet another appearance by Rockstar's Bigfoot himself (a long-running Rockstar Easter egg staple) to encounters with a bonafide alien UFORed Dead Redemption 2 sees Rockstar Games really going all out this time around. Beyond the more obvious Easter eggs, however, the game will reward long-time fans of the studio's past games.

This Red Dead Redemption 2 guide will detail all of the Easter eggs that have currently been uncovered in the Rockstar Games' Old West setting.

Bully Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

The Bully Easter egg can be found during the mission "The Noblest of Me and a Woman," a quest that sees protagonist Arthur Morgan tracking down various famous gunslingers and dueling them. After you win the duel, you'll get their unique weapons as a prize. The final weapon comes with the inscription, "Canis Canem Edit," which was the title for Rockstar's Bully in Europe. Some have speculated that this is the company hinting at a sequel to the beloved game, but that's obviously neither confirmed or denied at this point in time. Either way, it's a fun little reference for fans.

Epsilon Program Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

For those obsessive fans who really paid attention to Grand Theft Auto V, there's a mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 called "Geology for Beginners" that references that game's Scientology-like group the Epsilon Program. The mission involves finding 10 rock carvings around the map that result in finding a mural that describes all kinds of weird and prophetic events. The real reference to GTA V, however, comes from the quest-giver himself, who has a scar that is eerily similar to one bore by Kraff, the Emperor from the 4th Paradigm that the Epsilon Program worships.

Donkey Lady Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

This is a clever little Easter egg that references the first Red Dead Redemption, which had a glitch animal that was a combination of two different species of animal that could be ridden by protagonist John Marston. To find this Easter egg, head to the lower left part of the map to find the now-deceased Donkey Lady chained to a wheel. Beyond the visual element, there is really no other meaningful interaction that can be had with this Easter egg, but it's still a fun little nod.

 Hobbit House Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

Near Donner Falls in Red Dead Redemption 2, players can find a Hobbit shack that's clearly a reference to J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings book series. There's no way to go into the house but it's a fun little nod. Perhaps it's something that Rockstar Games can open up in a future Red Dead Redemption 2 update.

Meteor Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

While not a direct reference to any Rockstar game, the meteor in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fun little Easter egg for fans who enjoy random world events. If players head to the northeast section of the map, they'll find a house that was seemingly struck by a meteor (indicated by the crater left behind). Beyond that and some dead bodies left behind, there's no indication of why Rockstar decided to include this in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Jungle Book Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

While looking at the Red Dead Redemption 2 map, players should travel near the "O" of Lemoyne and look for a specific tree (pictured above). At this tree, they will find Kaa the snake from Jungle Book hanging from it. It's unclear what happens if players try to attack the snake, though.

Bonnie MacFarlane Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

Fans who played the first Red Dead Redemption game will remember one of the most prominent side characters, Bonnie MacFarlane. In Red Dead Redemption 2, players can discover another piece of information about her: she was previously married, and her ex-husband can be found south of Flatneck Station. A letter can be found on his person detailing all of his regrets and hopes for their marriage. It's probably one of the more sad Easter eggs in the entire game.

Pilot Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

A nice little reference to the flying machine that John Marston helps build in the first Red Dead Redemption, players can find a similar machine with a dead pilot inside. This is located north of the Big Valley location.

Overtime Controversy Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

Right before the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar faced some controversy over claims that the studio had employees working 100-hour weeks on the game. Some clever gamers discovered what is potentially a reference to this in the description of the Cattleman's Revolver weapon (which can be viewed at any gun shop in the game). Part of the description reads: "It is made by skilled laborers who work tireless hours each week and on the weekends for little pay in order to bring you the finest revolver in the field today." Whether or not this is intended by Rockstar or slipped in under the radar by a bitter employee is unclear, but it's a little suspicious considering the aforementioned controversy.

The Strange Man Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

This Easter egg is another nod to the first Red Dead Redemption, and includes reference to the Strange Man, who would give John Marston several quests that seemingly test how good of a man he is. He's also immortal and there's a lot of theories about his origin, including that he could be God, the Devil or some kind of demon. In Red Dead Redemption 2, players can find a cabin with an unfinished painting in Bayall Edge. As progress in the game is made, the painting becomes more clear, revealing the Strange Man. There's also a mirror where the Strange Man appears behind Arthur (though he's not there when players turn around).

Agnes Dowd Easter Egg in Red Dead Redemption 2

In Bluewater Marsh, players can find the ghost of Agnes Dowd. Players must go to the area between 3 PM and 9 PM to find Agnes, and she can actually be discovered a total of 16 times, each time revealing a new clue about her haunting life or a new piece of dialogue (though she'll be gone forever after the 16th time). Don't get too close to her, though, or she'll disappear. Funnily enough, Reverend Swanson will warn the gang members about this ghost, which the rest of the group dismisses as nonsense.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is certainly packed with Easter eggs, from the aforementioned UFOs to ghost trains, to a creepy group of people of people called the Night Folk. Really, Rockstar Games has outdone themselves this time around and their attention to detail and callbacks to previous games is admirable. However, surely Red Dead Online will be filled with even more Easter eggs to find when it finally releases at the end of November.
