Speculation The fate of the Frozen Neanderthal.

A month ago, I made a post saying that the Frozen Neanderthal is one of the most interesting mysteries in game as it may still exist. I think this is no longer the case and that the fate of it can easily be determined. While I have no concrete proof, the things we know may be enough.

To put it simply, the Frozen Neanderthal was supposed to be in one of the cut locations in Ambarino. He would have been found in the now undiscoverable locations outside the boundaries. Where this is cannot be determined but with the rumour there was a cut prologue chapter, he could have been found while the gang escaped Blackwater.

However, I think I found the likeliest location for him to be at. I think he would have been at the hidden inaccessible glacier in Ambarino. With the use of mods, you can see the hugely detailed interior of this glacier, hinting that this was somewhere you were meant to go at one point. This is also the perfect place for a frozen Neanderthal to be in, unlike the rest of Ambarino. Therefore, I am 95 percent sure this was his location.

The question remains then? Why is he fully intact in the files but not actually in game. Because his trigger point was cut when the mission involving the glacier was cut out. However Rockstar left all the assets in game. He was probably meant to be like the North Yankton Alien and only found in one mission. Since that mission got deleted, so did his spawn point. This is also most likely what happened to Ikz, her mission being deleted cut her without Rockstar having to manually delete her. It’s why they remain in game but can’t actually be found.

As much as I wish he could still be found, the real answer is boring. He was cut but not in a conventional way.

Since the location is inaccessible, could you pin some screenshots please?

Also I agree. Frozen Neanderthal in gta 5 prologue and in rdr2 prologue = reference+ easter egg lol

it is possible but I think it is more suitable if it fixed state close to where the raven talisman is located. both because it is a hidden area and in my opinion difficult to access and because I have always thought that the corpse from which we take the talisman is a researcher or similar. (Sorry for bad grammar)
