A dedicated player of Red Dead Redemption 2 has uncovered an intriguing detail about Dutch van der Linde following 700 hours of gameplay. This discovery has ignited various theories within the gaming community.

Dutch van der Linde stands out as a prominent character in the Red Dead Redemption series. Players witnessed his descent into madness in the original game, while Red Dead Redemption 2 allows for an exploration of his backstory. His complexity continues to engage fans, making it likely that players would find hidden elements related to him throughout the game.

Discovery of Dutch's Mother's Grave

A Reddit user, Alaska022,revealed that those who visit the church in Blackwater can locate the grave of Dutch's mother, Greta van der Linde, who lived from 1885 to 1881. The inscription on her headstone states, "There was grace in her steps, love in every gesture." Some users speculated that this grave could indicate a location where the Blackwater money is hidden, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. However, dialogue within the game suggests Dutch may not know the exact location of the grave, as he only learned of it through an uncle. This detail raises doubts about the possibility of the money being buried there.
