10 Video Game Secrets You Didn't See Coming

10. The Vampire - Red Dead Redemption 2

The beauty of the open world game is giving developers the reigns to go absolutely ham with filling it with whatever their minds desire. The best of gaming’s biggest worlds are very rarely empty and the secrets that can be found along the way is what makes them worth talking about with others.

Both the first and second Red Dead Redemption games have plenty of optional encounters and Easter Eggs to find of course that run the full gambit in style and tone. The original game even started to include a few supernatural things; whisperings and murmurs, theories that one NPC is even a ghost and the unexplainable Strange Man.

However, Red Dead Redemption 2 really went full tint in this direction in ways that players weren’t expecting. The most talked about of these upon release was the vampire of Saint Denis.

Around the location are strange writings that the player can jot down in their diary. When all five pieces are collected, they will form a pentagram that points to a particular alleyway of the city. There, they will find a Nosferatu-like character.

If players choose to engage, and aren’t quick enough, the vampire is one of the few enemies that can kill the protagonist in one hit. And worse, if you haven’t got your save data prepared, they’ll disappear after that one encounter, never to be seen again.
