Red Dead Redemption 2’s New ‘Spider Web’ Puzzle Points to Fort Wallace, Remains Unsolved

Time-limited webs are driving coordinated hunts by community sleuths across the map.

Overview

  • The discovery surfaced January 4–5 after players spotted a spider etching on a telegraph pole near Dewberry Creek and Citadel Rock.
  • Overlaying the symbol on the map led to eight poles with spider webs and shootable feathers, plus a larger hidden web at the center.
  • Shooting through the sequence reveals directional marks—N, then W, then NW—and a guitar icon that guides searchers toward Fort Wallace.
  • Webs and feathers appear only during narrow in-game windows, with reports of roughly one hour per site, which has slowed confirmation efforts.
  • The investigation is being mapped and shared by creators like Strange Man and users including Synth Potato, pariah87, u/FL4VA-01, and goldenplaysterraria, with no confirmed final step yet.
