For me, the town returning to life four years later implies that Herberta's child with Issac didn't live. Since the kid was dead, that meant the deal with Strange Man had been completed.
I think it would have been better if Tumbleweed was the town that was cursed. In the final chapter, the entirety of New Austin feels really empty, while Tubleweed is already dying. In RDR1, Armadillo is full of life again, while Tumbleweed is pretty much abandoned. Makes more sense that Tumbleweed got hit with the plague, but never recovered.
If you ride around near Mescalero there is a random camper who will invite you to sit with him and he’ll talk about the Strange Man putting a curse on armadillo
If we count Undead Nightmare, then the final plague to strike Armadillo would be the zombies, where Herbert Moon meets his fate, as narcissistic and stupid as ever.

Hey! I've got a detail that i'm pretty sure almost no one knows about, it's on the mission "Horsemen, Apocalypse", chapter 4 On that mission, when you are in the house protecting the back window, you can actually change positions with John, Dutch, and Charles, and there is actual dialogue for it.
@@BruceWayne-gm5dz rdr2 keeps itself going, sorry to disappoint. I enjoy his videos, but generally speaking, people don't play the game because of his videos. Again, sorry to disappoint.
@@sedohema Why did you tell me sorry twice? RDR2 keeps itself alive. Sure. But GTA 5 has Online. And plenty of YTbers making content about it. Red Dead Online is pretty much dead and this man is the only one feeding some quality content to the fans when it comes to YT. So yeah, he keeps it alive in a way.
@@BruceWayne-gm5dz you're moving the goal post. Strange man doesn't make rdr2 online content. He sticks to the story mode, and that's the debate here. I know rdr2 online is garbage. So again, sorry to disappoint.
One flaw I can think of in the Grim Reamer theory is that you can't make a deal with Death, however, you can deal with the Devil. Fantastic production values as always, love your content :)
You can make a deal with Death. Death has two faces, could either be God or Devil. It is up to everyone of us to choose which one we want to make a pact with. The deal with Herbert Moon was Happiness (God) or Multiple Generations (Devil). He chose Devil, he payed the price.
there is also a easter egg in one of the dead bodies on the common graves. If you sack him, you will get a letter when the man says that he is not the father of the baby with the mark in the face, wich is the timetraveler
It just gets me amazed on how much we've discovered in RDR2! Such an incredible game! I've been playing it for 180 Hours on my PS5 cause it's just that good! Subscribed to you man! You deserve it!
I did not expect armadillo to be that dark, i only encountered the town crier, i gotta play again to see all this, i thank the strange man for the information ❤
Funny, when J.M. walked up to H.M. and without batting an eye, blew his head off i was startled, but then thought, this should have been done to the rat bastard in the RDR1 However, watching H.M. get ripped apart by zombies in Undead Nightmare was quite satisfying. Good job on this one & as usual Strange Man.
So much thought, so much detail, time, and effort put into your video's. I love watching. You are so good at what you do. You were an inspiration for me when I started my channel and still are. I make mostly game movies. But, I wish I could edit like you. And, the music you use, the timing, it's all so fitting. You're an amazing creator Strange Man. Thank you for sharing your skills with us! 😊
People around Armadillo would have taken that town crier more seriously if he prefaced everything he said with "Hear ye! Hear ye!" like Homer Simpson did.
the strangeman always reminded me of guanter o dimms from the witcher 3 people say hes like a devil and gives you a choice to make but if you dont fulfill your part he cures you
Something I did not understand is Moon's choice. Did he chose happiness or two generations? Cause he already disapproved his daughters marriage, so in a way he could've asked the Strange Man not to bless them with a child, therefore choosing happiness (pure genes/his health/his store) Or did he chose the two generations only to find out later his grandchild would have been of mixed race, leaving him in a cursed town?
He was given happiness or generations. He chose generations. One of those generations married a Jewish person, something that greatly enraged the bigoted Moon. Moon took great pride in his store and his status in town. As punishment for letting his bigotry get the best of him, the Strange Man contaminated the town, keeping Moon healthy only so he could see the suffrage. The Strange Man basically took away everything that made Moon happy because Moon was unsatisfied with one small thing. Just goes to show everyone, fortunate or not, should be grateful for what they do have instead of fretting over what they don't.
@@yaboidre5672 I disagree. I think his bigotry is part of his choice. Think about it: he chose generations which meant that he had to give up happiness. Most people would be happy to have a grandchild, but Herbert was unhappy about it because the grandchild was Jewish. In other words, that the grandchild was Jewish was part of the bargain: he had to have a grandchild that would make him unhappy.
@@yaboidre5672 I agree that he chose two generations. My only question is, why would he display a picture of the strange man after he basically ruined his life?
Absolutely tuned to this side story😂.. ive beat the game a couple weeks ago and managed to go thru armadillo.. i seen the mess the place was in. The bodies, the sick ppl walkin about awaitimg there fate. The devs they do such a great job in creating this side atmosphere from the main game.. so many things to really immerse yourselves i to if you do enough investigating.
"Way things are , wont be long before tumbleweed is the only town left in these parts" Turns out Tumbleweed would become abandoned and Armadillo would survive.
The man burning bodies in the cemetery at Coot's Chapel is the same man who is laughing, at 13:13. His name is Eldin Grubb, He's the Undertaker of Armadillo and is also seen in RDR1.
I died of laughter at that 15:54 scene because the random NPC on the right is gossiping about something while the other on the left tries to explain us a story at the same time.😂
I actually think the "His final toll will herald my greatest coming" refers to Micah's death. We dont see the Strange Man manifesting at all in RDR2, but when Micah Bell dies (the final toll of the bell, Bell now having to pay the toll to cross over, there’s plenty of ways to play with words with that), it's what finally brings the Pinkertons to John Marston's door, launching the first game and the actual Strange Man missions along with it. Maybe if John had done what Arthur asked and not looked back, left the past in the past and not tried to be two people at once, he could have stayed hidden. But he didn't. He went after Micah, and as satisfying for the player (and John) as that might have been, in doing so he brought the personification of death to his door.
In a way, his punishment is not over by the events of RDR1. He's constantly robbed and depends on you, another incidental agent of the Strange Man, to get his money back. Whether you get it back or not changes nothing for him either, because it'll happen again and again. Even by 1914 after John is gone.
I wish we could find out the cause. I know the cause of cholera has to do with unclean water and poor hygiene but what was the source? A river, a lake, or a bad well.
Could be a well contaminated with human waste, that was a common cause. London had cholera outbreaks, particularly around pumps that drew water from the Thames.
Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with Vibrio cholerae bacteria. People can get sick when they swallow food or water contaminated with cholera bacteria. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can sometimes be severe and life-threatening. - Google
Is it ever explained how Herbert Moons brother died? Southeast of Armadillo at Coots Chapel they have a grave for Francis Moon, brother of Herbert Moon and inscribed it says “Always took a joke too far”
Him being the grim reaper would make sense if he didn’t give choices in morality. The Grim Reaper doesn’t make deals or care how you get to meet him. He talks about being an accountant, referring to researching info to make decisions (deals, who lives or dies, etc) not actual numbers. Also a cheeky wink at “the devil’s arithmetic”. The grim reaper takes the already dying. The devil takes you while you’re on your feet (serial killer).
He did though. 22:08 he says it is familiar in a weird way and is a bit hesitant to continue talking about it. I guess he didn't want to sound crazy by specifically saying he saw it in the swamps
@d.5432 would've made for a very interesting conversation tho and also Rockstar shouldve just made him say "strange cause I happened to stumble upon a similar portrait in the middle of nowhere"
Another comment I wanna make here, about what the camper said at 22:29, he actually lost his own bet as we all know Armadillo recovered during RDR1 as Moon's deal was complete, while Tumbleweed became a ghost town as the railroad that bypassed the town in favor of Armadillo is what drove Tumbleweed to its collapse. Obviously that was a foreshadow we all saw comin' because of RDR1, but I like that small detail of someone betting the other way around in the prequel.
I hate the fact that rockstar made so many dead towns. I understand why they did it, but it's really a shame. One of my favorite aspects of the game is exploring a thriving town, but you really only have valentine, strawberry, rhodes, and saint denis. Tumbleweed doesnt have much going on, even though it looks like it should, and the rest are either dead or dying. Colter would have been a good spot to actually have functioning, and limpany looked like a really cool spot before it burned. so much potential wasted.
@@AliAlnamir yea, an actual thriving trapper camp where individualist entrepreneurs camp together sort of like a safety in numbers thing would have been great. they could have done that near any one of the river locations, up near cottail pond or the east side of calumet ravine would have been great locations. It would have been great for online mode, because I love hunting in ambarino, but you have to haul a long ways to sell your goods or drop it at camp. and thats a heavy risk because you could get disconnected and lose it all.
I love how Strange Man's deal also explains why Moon doesn't die from that clearly-fatal shot in the head. Strange Man's word is binding: he said Herbert would have to live with his choices, even after some schmuck walks through the door and shoots him in the face.
Glad to see this channel still active I just got done watching the "German Family connection with El Rubio" Your information is outstanding I'm convinced you work for Rockstar...or dating someone that works for Rockstar Lolzzz
I don’t know if this is true or not but someone once told me that there was a legend in the Old West that Death was a man in a well-cut suit and that’s what I’ve always thought The Strange Man was.
I was actually always wondering how this deal worked. The strange man was supposed to give two generations to Moon. What does it imply? That he got a daughter and then a grandchild? Or the fact that his child didn't die while giving birth. Coz what is the sense in this deal anyway? He got a child, but it has "dirty blood" if you can call it like this. It doesn't seem that a person like Moon would sell all the good money he was earning in the shop for a grandkid that is not pure. Or maybe he made a deal before his daughter met the Jewish guy? Maybe she had trouble finding a match and was getting older (esp in those times when women were getting married super young). Then coz of the deal she met Issac, but because Moon wasn't supposed to gain any happiness out of this deal, the Stange Man made sure that she would fall in love with a guy that wasn't good enough according to Herbert. So he got a grandchild but wasn't happy with his shop or town or the new family members he got
You’d think that Armadillo would’ve become a ghost town in a few months with how bad the plague was, and that Tumbleweed would’ve been a growing town. Huge surprise that it was the other way around several years later.
Interesting the word Miasma is in GTA 5 great work as always strange man this mystery goes deep , i feel has something to do with the honor system to trigger the strange man in game Donte knows him
I only play the online version of RDR2 and even in that version Moon seems to belittle the people of Armadillo. He constantly talks about the Scarlet Fever outbreak as that was the only plague present at the time of RDR2 online, but cases of Cholera had started. He brings up the fact that they can't read, and is surprised when you go through his catalogue.
Does anyone else remember the glitch where the townspeople end up in the ground and say "I've sold my soul to El Diablo and now I can live forever" in RDR1 or was that just me?
"I just hope that armadillo epidemic doesnt spread to us." Plot twist: she has no idea about the actual town of Armadillo, she's just afraid of a horde of armadillos that are terrorizing the countryside Genghis Khan-style.
i remember one day just going into armadillo with a bunch of molotovs and lighting buildings on fire, acting like some weird bruh trying to cleanse the plague by burning the town down XD
Armadillo also got hit by another plague zombie virus in 1914 I wish there was single player DLC with Arthur Morgan removing the curse Undead Nightmare II They could have made it a non canon storyline , it made no sense to have such huge part of map so detailed but have no missions
![Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q86_nlRoIGw/mqdefault.jpg)
For me, the town returning to life four years later implies that Herberta's child with Issac didn't live. Since the kid was dead, that meant the deal with Strange Man had been completed.
Oh man... That just... Ouch
I don't think moon would care about that either tbh lmao
Strange man
Jhons daughter
Coincidence?
In that case he didn't get anything he wanted from the deal?
I think it would have been better if Tumbleweed was the town that was cursed. In the final chapter, the entirety of New Austin feels really empty, while Tubleweed is already dying. In RDR1, Armadillo is full of life again, while Tumbleweed is pretty much abandoned. Makes more sense that Tumbleweed got hit with the plague, but never recovered.
I interpret it as everyone from Tumbleweed moving to Armadillo post-plague as it has a more convenient location and a railroad connection.
It would also add to the popular fan theory of RDR1 that Tumbleweed was haunted. Missed opportunity there
Moon is a G. B A S E D as F.
Oh yes you're right

So living out in the middle of nowhere being dirty obviously creates these diseases.

Thats because cholera is waterborne, not airborne. A mask isn't gonna do shit if the disease is spread thru contaminated water.

I only play the online version of RDR2 and even in that version Moon seems to belittle the people of Armadillo. He constantly talks about the Scarlet Fever outbreak as that was the only plague present at the time of RDR2 online, but cases of Cholera had started. He brings up the fact that they can't read, and is surprised when you go through his catalogue.
I could have sworn this was already covered
Great content as always. Thank you so much for the video's!!
damn good editing
Great video as always!!
Only 90k views no way this quality deserves a million
Does anyone else remember the glitch where the townspeople end up in the ground and say "I've sold my soul to El Diablo and now I can live forever" in RDR1 or was that just me?
"I just hope that armadillo epidemic doesnt spread to us."
Plot twist: she has no idea about the actual town of Armadillo, she's just afraid of a horde of armadillos that are terrorizing the countryside Genghis Khan-style.
😂😂😂
25:05 made me laugh like a mofo, dude is just super rude and than pays the price instantly XD
i remember one day just going into armadillo with a bunch of molotovs and lighting buildings on fire, acting like some weird bruh trying to cleanse the plague by burning the town down XD
I like armadillo cuz you can go in there and do what you want and the cops don't come lol
The ending of this video and how you did it... lol. cool.
Well down Mr. Strang man 👏🏻👏🏻 another mystery is solved
I would love to see the town crier’s hat in RDO. By far one of the best in game.
Has anyone tried to take Herbert Moon to the pentagram, and sacrifice him?
Herbert Moon boss fight happens he fires racist lazer beams at you and 1 shots you.
Ooogashakaooogaoogaoogashakaoogaooga (starts a chant while sacrificing moon) jk jk
Armadillo also got hit by another plague zombie virus in 1914
I wish there was single player DLC with Arthur Morgan removing the curse Undead Nightmare II
They could have made it a non canon storyline , it made no sense to have such huge part of map so detailed but have no missions
I really enjoy it every video.. and the way you do it 😊🎉🎉
