Red Dead Redemption 2: 18 Easter Eggs And References You Totally Missed
Spoilers Ahead...
9. Finding Dragic's Bright Bouncing Boy
Rockstar
The Bright Bouncing Boy Stranger Mission is one of the best contained within Red Dead Redemption 2, but - somewhat bizarrely - players have to seek out the story's resolution themselves.
After finding Marko Dragic's laboratory in the upper area New Hannover, at which point the scientist will reveal the robot he's been working on, the mission itself will end. However, should players return, they'll find Dragic dead on the floor, and his creation missing.
Picking up the scientist's electric lantern, the player can then send Arthur into the mountains to search for the robot in question. Turns out the Bright Bouncing boy in question is mourning the demise of his father by his lonesome in the peaks of the northwest, exclaiming "Papa" repeatedly.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
