Summary
- Dutch van der Linde's mother's grave found in Red Dead Redemption 2 sparks fan theories.
- Players discovered hidden details like Dutch's mother's grave even after hundreds of hours of gameplay.
- Rockstar's attention to detail in Red Dead Redemption 2 keeps players engaged years after its release.
An eagle-eyed Red Dead Redemption 2 player online has spotted a surprising detail about Dutch van der Linde in the game after over 700 hours of playtime. This particular Red Dead Redemption 2 detail has sparked a few interesting theories among fans.
Dutch van der Linde is one of the best characters in the Red Dead Redemption series. His appearance in the original game showed him after his descent into madness, and the prequel Red Dead Redemption 2 allowed players to experience first-hand how it happened. He's a thoroughly compelling character, and remains a fan-favorite for good reason. It should come as no surprise that a character as complex as Dutch has a few details hidden around the game for players to discover.
Redditor Alaska022 pointed out that players who head to the church in Red Dead Redemption 2's Blackwater can actually find the grave of Dutch's mother, Greta van der Linde, who lived between 1885 and 1881. Her headstone reads, "There was grace in her steps, love in every gesture." Some fans in the thread theorized that this grave could be where Blackwater money was hidden, which would be a nice connection. However, it was also pointed out that some dialogue in the game indicates that while Dutch knows his mother is buried in Blackwater, he had only heard so from an uncle. This means he may not know where the grave is exactly, making it unlikely that the money is buried here.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Finds Dutch's Mother's Grave
It seems as though there's no end to the number of small details found in Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar's attention to detail is almost excessive in this particular title, giving players fresh things to discover nearly six years after its initial release. Just recently, another Red Dead Redemption 2 player noticed an immersive detail after 400 hours of playtime. Comparatively, Alaska022 has 700 hours in the game before finding this Dutch detail, but it's interesting to see how even players who have played so much of the game can still have so much to discover.
It certainly doesn't feel as though it has been six years since Red Dead Redemption 2's release. Despite the considerable gap between now and then, a potential sequel still seems to be many years away, especially with Rockstar still focused on developing Grand Theft Auto 6. Some good news emerged recently though, with rumors that Red Dead Redemption fans on PC may finally get to play the original game. It's not Red Dead Redemption 3, but it's something in the meantime.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.
