He could have been stuck near where you can find the Arabian or like you said the glacier place

I saw a video somewhere about in inaccessible cave/tunnel behind a waterfall up in the snowy area. Someone glitched into it and was able to walk quite a ways in. He didn't find the neanderthal, but maybe there's more to it?

Do you have a link? Struggling to find this video

u/Te_Quiero_Puta Mar 11 '20
I'm at work right now, but I'll check out my youtube history when I get home. It might have been Pineapple or TagbackTV if you want to hunt around.

u/Te_Quiero_Puta Mar 11 '20
I don't think this is the video but i'm pretty sure it's where the cave is.

I’ve glitches into every ravine I could find outside the map, great for a scenic photo but there’s nothing visible down there. If you want to check it out for yourself, go to an edge of the accessible map in the snowy region, get yourself up against the wall, and drink until you pass out, this will make you wake up outside the map. Next, find the ravine you want to get inside of, and get your left side as close to the edge as possible without falling in, then you will need to eat some common bulbrush, and wait until you go into the vomiting animation, which will let you fall into the ravine without taking damage. Hopefully, you have your lantern with you because it can get dark. The ravine this comment in talking about is the most developed of them all, and contains a pathed ground texture and a second layer which you can also glitch into. At this point I don’t know of a way to glitch out so you will have to kill your self to escape (hopefully you brought dynamite or a fire bottle or else you might be in trouble. There are several other ravines further ahead, some interconnected and some more developed than others. They are good for a picture but other than that they contain nothing of interest. Even further into the outskirts if you head west you can find what appears to be an underdeveloped path as well as a glitchy pile of boulders where the path ends. Be careful going to far out though, because the ground gives out and you end up free falling infinitely (you’ll need to save beforehand). You can also find animals out there that don’t move ever, and a lake you can walk into. If you can find anything cool out there that I couldn’t, you should definitely post it, because I’d love to see it. I’m on console so if anyone on PC wants to no-clip around the outskirts they may be able to find more secrets underground or inside of the mountains, maybe even the Neanderthal

Well that area, starting from behind these boulders with remains of avalanche, that's the point where pinkertons lost dutch gang while they were chasing them from blackwater heist. There was once ment to be prologue i believe starting with blackwater heist, referencing gtaV, then outrunning pinkertons up hills, where they lost them after avalanche. That freezed fella would be another great reference to gtaV prologue on top of it

Are there any castles/castle like things in the game? “Your princess is in another castle” and all that

u/naked_n_infamous Mar 11 '20
Wait whats the princess line about besides Mario?

u/mathmat Mar 11 '20
Nah that's just it. Popped into my head when thinking about a hard to find princess.

u/NateQ1916 Mar 11 '20
My only guess might have been the chained outhouse. If it’s not that than I have no idea

u/sadadidas Mar 11 '20
with openIV we're sure to find something out soon.
in the GTAF 'RDR2 Beta Hunt' thread someone's already found an interior for the second floor of the Van Horn Fence, as well as another building model that was originally supposed to be the fence. I think we'll find more out before too long

I think he’s most likely in the mission where you look for John with Javier sewing as you go outside the map boundaries
23
u/Te_Quiero_Puta Mar 11 '20
I tried to look around during the first mission but if I lost track of Javier, even a little, it would "Mission Failed" me. Haven't had a chance to explore it more yet.
18
Mar 11 '20
Well you fail the mission almost immediately in GTA 5 as well but that mission is my best bet if he hasn’t been found already
36
u/OperTator Mar 11 '20
For some reason I feel like he’s not half submerged like this recreation suggests, I feel like he’s fully submerged and you’ll see him by looking through the side of something, like he’s frozen within a giant slab of ice.
6
u/PabloMatzkello Mar 17 '20
Yes, definitely my thoughts. I believe he was ment to be there frozen in one of the glaciers in the ravines, in the john's mission. Rather then be frozen in one of the glaciers of the open world. It would make perfect reference to GTAV prologue alien easter. You would probably see him just for sec while killing yourself from deepfall to dark ravine. But for some reasons it was cut.

u/yare_yare_yaru2 Mar 11 '20
And we could probably only find him as John
23
u/Lacedaemon1313 Story Mode Mar 11 '20
why only as john?
118
u/Orto_Dogge Mar 11 '20
He wasn't frozen then, because sun was shining brighter when Arthur was alive.

u/seberplanet Mar 11 '20
It has to be on the glacier wher eyou find John! At least I'd like to think that haha

u/Pir-o Mar 11 '20
I've heard there are more arrow heads in the code but no one discovered more than one i the game. Maybe those are the needed triggers for that interaction?

u/Skraelos Mar 12 '20
I've always been suspicious about the bear part in the Pearson's mission. I mean, the entirety of that event somehow feels a bit odd. I don't see why would they make it a dialogue option for Arthur to ask about going for the bear if they simply wanted to add flavor - they might've just added it as is, without input from the player. And this bear is pretty much on the frozen lake, too.
I don't have the tools or the skills required to properly check around the game files, but I think it might be worth a shot to specifically target that mission to try and hunt some new info.

u/JCBandicoot Mar 11 '20
The animation specifically? Not hard to extrapolate that
6
u/DuPz Mar 11 '20
Hey Bandicoot, yeah they figured it out on livestream and then posted it on GTAForums straight afterward. From a modder perspective yeah I know it's not too hard to work out, especially if you're familiar with the script. But I noticed this pop up just after it was posted on the forum is all. 🍻

Mar 12 '20
Wasnt that hard but we had no idea the line of script we had was even an animation.
We also didnt know what the actually animation was called either.
Another animation found with the same line of code didnt have an animation or dictionary either but still had the line of code.

u/JCBandicoot Mar 12 '20
Sorry I meant in response to the fella acting smart about the discovery of the Neanderthal, had no idea animation or any other code existed for him so great find dude!

It was "live" because I was streaming to about 4 people lol
It was a pretty funny moment in the discord.

u/OnlyMogo Mar 11 '20
What discord is it?

u/yare_yare_yaru2 Mar 11 '20
Well not only as John but most likely. Like as Arther he would be frozen in ice and we couldn’t see him but years later as John maybe some ice would melt around him he’d wake up and you’d find home like a minute or two after he woke up
21
u/leargonaut Mar 11 '20
I was thinking that as John it’s guaranteed we can’t find him, like all the ice melted and the body decayed.

u/lildoggi76 Mar 12 '20
I wonder if it was a part of the expanded ambarino that was cut during development
3
u/jaedgy Mar 11 '20
If the animation is him just striking a pose, I would guess that he is meant to spawn below a section of see-through ice. Where that ice could be is another question.

Mar 12 '20
That's a video of the very moment we discovered it.
We have been finding lots of stuff in the files. We believe it's possible that this was cut from the lake in the cut intro lake area or could be in the game still.

Im pretty sure you can mod the game to indicate when you are within a certain distance of that model or animation. Can anyone do this?

...it was labeled under 'discoverable'.
Like a lot of the other points of interest.
