10 Red Dead Redemption 2 NPCs With DISTURBING Secrets

10. The Cave Hermit - Red Dead Redemption 2

In the top northwestern corner of West Elizabeth, players stumble upon a simple unassuming cave entrance. If the player heads inside the cave they slowly realize that it's much creepier than most normal dank caves in America, as they uncover several twisted cave paintings and some ominous hanging lights.

At the end of the cave's winding tunnel system, the player is greeted by a man who claims that he is the devil. The man quickly confesses he isn't the devil, but he wishes he was.

As seen in the linked video from the Strange Man YouTube channel, the hermit speaks with the player several times over several in-game days, divulging a little bit more about who he is and why he spends all his time living alone in a cave. It turns out by the end of his confessions this cave hermit used to be a philosopher who tried to teach his lessons at several high-class universities.

However, after most of his philosophical ideas were rejected, and a woman he had feelings for turned him down, the philosopher rejected humanity and went to live alone and as remotely as he could, going insane from the lack of sunlight and isolation.
