- The encounter that has eluded me for four years finally happened, and thus I could finally justify doing this video on the Soothsayer.

I have played this game for 2,000+ hours and I have NEVER heard of this NPC... this game is truly a masterpiece.
at the time, i had played the game for roughly 4,500 hours and never heard of this and learned of it from a TH-cam short. i’ve now played it for 4.7K hours. This game is truly fucking amazing.
@@PRIMETIMECEO_ Bro for real. Everytime I learn something new about it I just love it all over again.
I've 100%'d it, spent the first week or so mostly exploring the map and hunting the mysteries in the game. I currently have over 2500 hours in the game yet this video is my first time hearing about this NPC. As others have said, this game is a fucking masterpiece, best of the generation IMO.
Nah like fr, I usually don’t like comments that say shit like this, but I’ve actually never heard of this character before.
Have NEVER come across this NPC. WOW .. this game keeps giving after all these years!!!! Thank you for posting this.
I love how Arthur after hearing these creepy and cryptic messages was just like "okay then..."
Relatable tbh
Ok i’ll catch you later then
In all the years I've played this game, I've only ran into the Soothsayer once. Mostly because I make it a point to stay out of that creepy ass swamp at night
nah brodie, I roll up there at night on purpose in hopes of running into the night folk. One or two slugs with my pump action and I've made it a more livable area lmaoooo
@@no1studios well then let me be the first to salute you for it, friend
@@troymartin4260 🫡🫡
They do a bang up job at manufacturing sheer terror in that swamp.
@Jordan brooo onggggg, its tricky tho cus the nightfolk can one shot you with an axe lmaooooo
I met this NPC on my second playthrough in chapter 2. I remember riding through the bayou and I met her and she began telling me her fortune when a bounty hunter shot me. missed. bullet went in between my legs. hit her lamp. and she caught fire and died. What a masterpiece of a game if such a random series of events can occur
Nice. Love when those silly things happen.
Gotta listen for that soundtrack pickup🤣
This a lie, when you’re being chased by bounty hunter the npc’s won’t talk to you and will be scared nice try 😮💨
Babe wake up, Fizhy posted
CHRISSY WAKE UP, FIZHY POSTED
IM UP IM UP!!
I got the popcorn 🍿
@user-vs2rn1gx6i you call this a house - Lucius Malfoy
"nah hold on I'm waiting for the
" mailman" to come"
You know it’s a good mystery when it starts in the bayou nwa
That damn swamp
The Stranger you meet in a robe near Strawberry, he's standing in the river makes it sound like he's talking to the game creators when you talk to him.
He’s a Breaking the fourth wall character
"We killed him" could be a reference to Nietzsche's "God is dead, God stays dead and we have killed him".
yes, and Nietzsche also argues that we have not replaced him with anything
With how ominous these messages are from both Blind Man Cassidy and the Soothsayer, primarily focusing t he deaths of John and Arthur, I’m surprised our dear friend, the Strange Man, didn’t come say Hello
He has a cabin somewhere near there. It’s kinda creepy and you even encounter him in a mirror in the cabin but when you turn around to look behind you, he’s not there anymore.
maybe theyre all connected somehow
I think that the one where she says "she shall return" is more about Sadie. She came back, brought the information about Micah, and aided in dooming John and Jack (who I think she's referring to).
I think its about mary linton. Arthur has to move on from her, or their relationship will doom them both
@@baza0383 is it john only? If so, then i agree with op. If it can be heard by arthur, i think its abt mary
@@knuteknoll6747 It doesn’t even make any sense in the context of Arthur and Mary’s relationship because none of Mary’s missions directly or indirectly cause either of their deaths unless you’re talking about in the emotional sense which honestly would be lame so ultimately it’d make more sense if it was meant for John and Abigail or Sadie
I don’t think it’s about Sadie or Mary Linton. It’s about Abigail and is referring to how she leaves and takes Jack and separates from John in the first red dead redemption but in the end of the game she comes back to him.
@Igk916 - She is talking more about death and damnation.
So Sadie goading John into killing Micah, causing problems and making scenes in various places in their search and eventually killing him. This allowed the Ross and FBI (as they were known by that time) to link it back to John. They were also after Micah as well... John's decision just made it convenient for them to track him down
Sadie is definitely not known for subtlety or her clandestine approach. She's a more tame, non-malevolent version of Micah.
All that noise they made... brought Ross to him, and after John died. Jack broke, and the cycle continues.
Side note: My theory with Sadie and Charles between Epilouge and RDR1 is Charles os in Canada, and Sadie was killed by the life lived... even if she left for S. America. She was killer with a death wish.
I sincerely believe even 10 years later we'll still find new things in this game
This game has already become an all time classic.
Best game I have ever played
Perhaps the end of the cycle she refers to in the last fortune for John is that Jack won't start a family, and therefore the cycle ends with him killing Ross
When Fizhy posts we all know it's gonna be a banger!

Thing is, the cycle continues even after John, because of Jack hunting down the men who killed his Father, and funnily enough the same Pinkerton who confronts Arthur and Jack while they're fishing is the last Jack kills, and he confronts him while he's fishing, wheels within wheels, ever turning, ever spinning...
jack probably stopped after killing Ross and lived a normal life, but we’ll never know
Ross was duck hunting tho
The ooze in the swamp is also mentioned in the StrangeMans cabin on the wall. The soothsayer is actually making an analogy but would only be picked up by someone born in America. The ooze she is referring to is greed, which is at the base of what most bad people/villains in RdR2 are after.
9:26 I also like to think the "Betray them first!" Line could also reference Arthur helping the people of Wapiti, as Dutch, from my perspective, seemed to view it as a betrayal or going behind his back
i feel like it was reference to Micah because micah betrayed the gang first by telling agent milton everything and their whereabouts like milton stated in the story and then later dutch betrays micah because he shoots him at the end
I’ve literally platted this game and never found this encounter
Definitely one of the more “creepy” mysteries. NICE VIDEO!
It's a shame not everyone will get to meet her. Those lines are great. The voiceacting is amazing.
I've come across the soothsayer in two playthroughs, and both times I drew my gun thinking it was night folk and she ran off screaming.
Sometimes she will not react, other times she’ll default to typical NPC responses. It’s weird for somebody who is meant to be at least mostly blind.
@@Fizhy if she’s really a fortune teller, shouldn’t she run before I draw my gun?
@@andycockrum1212 I don’t think fortune tellers see the immediate future
I think the sooth sayer and Cassidy are connected in their predictions. Cassidy warns of how things end whereas she warns of how things start.
I have never seen this NPC before in my life. There's always something to surprise me in this game, and Fizhy is the one to bring it to light.
These videos make me feel like RDR2 is new some how
The Night folk are scary at the beginning, but once i found the Semi Auto shotgun at that hut mid chapter 3, i wasnt scared at all
"Even the gods die" could also mean disillusionment with idols, how Dutch breaks the façade of equanimity, and how the lawmen go back on the rules they're meant to uphold.
"Beware the swamps" could mean stagnation, and how Dutch and his gang refuse to change in the face of the changing world, while they instead should come back "under a rock" - retire and lay low or *be* retired.
Odd, to me, that they included both this soothsayer and Blind Man Cassidy are in the game.
maybe the soothsayer was the original fortune teller but then the devs realized that everyone would avoid the swamps outside of small passthroughs and certain plants/animals lol
game never fails to surprise me. i’ve been playing for YEARS and there’s still things i’ve never seen. wow.
13:05 I think that quote is a little bit more about Johns struggle between wanting to live a normal happy life with his wife and his family but always getting sucked back in to the gang and his lawless western lifestyle. And that even if he really wanted to end that circle/cycle he couldn’t come to do it himself. It took Arthur’s wisdom and guidance to convince John to do the right thing and leave the gang and without him he falls right back into the lifestyle he says he no longer wants but always finds a way back to it in the end, regardless of what he wants.
Damn bro I’m replaying the game I forgot how dynamic this game is. Still finding secrets hella years later
My guy the creativity in your documentaries is too dope and the narration makes me feel like I’m watching 60minutes but RDR2. it really inspires me mate shout out from South Africa!
recent got back into rdr2 and it’s still timeless like your videos
I found your channel just a few days ago and I binge watched lots of rdr2 videos, this new one is such a pleasant surprise!!
Fizhy, you always upload right as I start to watch you again and you never disappoint. I've never seen or heard of this encounter. This game is a masterpiece.
The old gods stir and will not let me sleep. I dreamt I saw a shadow with a burning heart butchering a golden stag, aye. I dreamt of a man without a face, waiting on a bridge that swayed and swung. On his shoulder perched a drowned crow with seaweed hanging from his wings. I dreamt of a roaring river and a woman that was a fish. Dead she drifted, with red tears on her cheeks, but when her eyes did open, oh, I woke from terror. All this I dreamt, and more.
Hello there, woods witch. Kinda screwed over Jenny and everyone at Summerhall, didn't you?
When you talk about Abigail coming back and destroying her and John it made me think and I realized Abigail is the indirect reason for Edgar Ross tracking John because in one of the missions she shoots agent Milton which would probably lead to Ross getting promoted which leads to him hunting then killing John, also jack first meets Ross while fishing and kills him while Ross was fishing
Another thing to note was Abigail pressuring John to move back into the places his old gang used to terrorize because she didn't want to keep moving around the United States. This gave Ross a better chance to pinpoint Marston since the ex-outlaw wasn't moving around anymore, especially when Micah ended up dead. All Edgar had to do was cast a wide net around the surrounding area until he finally found him at Beecher's Hope.
I don't feel Abigail was entirely at fault since she wanted to put her past behind her and settle down and plant roots. Still, she had a severe case of short-sightedness that the government would forget about John Marston and what he did in his heyday with Dutch when the former gang leader was still alive and kicking at that time.
Sadie also played a part when she told John about finding out where Micah was and coercing him with the notion that they needed to hunt him down and avenge Arthur, so in a way, it was more than one woman that would come back and destroy him in the end.
@@EE-md2lrlol no , Ross found John because of him killing Micah, and so many people back on a damn mountain.
Seeing that made me want to binge watch your rdr2 videos again. I missed you man
I like how you came back to the game again after already covering it a while ago. I haven't played the game in years but I decided to play again recently after I stumbled across one of your videos.
Something interesting of note... I remember you mentioning The Strange Man a couple videos back and how you think he might not be just a "strange" but nevertheless normal man, but a manifestation, or an apparition, or a god or something along those lines, meant to test Arthur & John's morality. Well I just did another playthrough and this time I did the whole thing low honor. The interesting part is I think you were not only right about The Strange Man, but also other NPCs such as Mickey the Valentine fake war vet and Blind Man Cassidy. I say this because I shot both Mickey and Blind Man Cassidy in the head (there's no way they could have survived) and yet they returned, doing their routines in both Valentine and at random, on the side of the road, seemingly as if nothing had happened. It unnerved me a bit when I came across them again, tbh.
i have playd RDR2 for over 1k hours and i never even knew that this encounter existed
Keep it up man! Just put another 70 hours into RDR2 just because of these videos, great work as always
Never came across this lady and the army guy who thought the war was still going on that just shows how good this game is and there’s so many encounters
Dude I love your content so much the amount of stuff that you cover in read dead proves how big a game red dead is and how good and persistent content creator you are thanks for lots of entertainment
It's 2023 and RDR2 is still a gift that keeps on giving, giving since 2018.
Nice! A new video! I've only seen your older stuff, love the content man. Keep it up!
I love your analysis of this encounter. We are soon to be nothing but bones and dust, but Arthur lives through memories and the actions he took. 👍🤠
Love your more eerie red dead content, this’ll be good
Another piece of quality content! Keep it up man ❤
I had to watch this because this is the first time I've seen you release a video with new idea who you might be talking about.
Then I saw all the swamp imagery and it made total sense. I won't go through the damn swamp. Especially at night
Love the RDR2 videos, I just now got 100% in the game and at the end I liked that John was at Arthurs grave telling him it is almost over my friend and I'm sure everyone knows what that means. Please keep up the amazing work you are doing. Oh ya, I only ran into the Soothsayer 3 times, once as Arthur and 2 times as John but I never went back for more cause every damn time I did the freakies came after me and you can tell judging by how long it took me to complete the game I'm not very good with a weapon lol. Anyway thank you again for the great videos.
FIZHY keeps me coming back to this game! Strange Man and FIZHY are the only Red Dead Content I’ll ever need
For two years I bin waiting for you to do this your rdr vids never get old
I had been binging some of my favorite RDR centered videos, mostly your content and hoping for a new video and it happened
"She'll return to you" I interpret as referring to Mary Linton when she re-entered Arthur's life seeking his help. In her final letter to him, returning his ring, she acknowledges she was beginning to dream of a life they could have had again. She essentially informed Arthur it was too painful to harbor the feelings for him that she did, so she was going to try and move on. It was a break up letter. I see 'destroy you both' not to mean death here, but the heartbreak they both would have to relive again, because of their re-connection.
Bruh that fortune is for John
@@_HappyHappy2004 oh true im trippin
fizhy posting = movie night
Interesting that there’s still things about this game I’m finding out, fantastic video btw
Another banger thanks again fizhy‼️
That was very interesting, I have never come across The Soothsayer and had no idea she existed. I came across Blind Man Cassidy a lot and honestly came to look forward to seeing him again but never her, it's interesting that Rockstar put two different NPCs in the game that can predict the future.
Thank you for the banger upload fizhy
"You'll go away from here and realize that here is not so bad, as everyone does in the end"... Sounds more like a reference to Guarma.
I wish I could find all this stuff naturally in the game, but the map is so gigantic and empty that it's a chore to go through, so thank you so much for finding all this stuff and showing it!
Hey Fizhy! I met her on my second gameplay, it was after the epilogue, totally by accident, and I never met her as Arthur before. If my memory doesn't fail me, she delivered her "even the gods died" quote. I couldn't remember what she said after giving her money tho, that's a shame.
I always get chills when I go to the BAYOU at night.
0:35
^ Man, I love these kinds of RDR2 uploads❕👏🏼
Funny, I took that “we have killed him” quote as referring to Nietzsche’s proclamation that “God is dead and we have killed him”. Then and now, modern humanity has struggled to fill that void.
I actually didnt know that killing Micah is what led to johns death. Its funny because when you kill micah and pick up his gun, it says "vengeance is hereby mine"
And Arthur reminds Dutch and John various times that vengeance is an idiots game
Came across her for the first time yesterday while doing the Algernon Wasp missions (Chapter 4). She was by the Strange Man's cabin. She spawned there twice for me.
Definitely linked to the strange man. Any paranormal activity is linked to that guy.
Love the vids Fizhy. You should do a vid bout the devil cave next. Keep up the good work
Hadn't even heard of this one. But as always absolute banger of a vid
I am from Nigeria. 10years ago a man predicted my mother's death, but he wasn't speaking plainly, just like this lady, 6months after the prediction, my mum died in an accident. I used to think people like this were just formulating things, but it turns out they hardly do. If you play this game for the first time and listen to the woman speak, you might never believe Arthur would die. It's crazy how they all never speak plainly.
Probably the first Rdr2 video about a thing I didn't even know existed! Granted I am fucking terrified of the Bayou so I'm not at all surprised.
Love your videos videos man!!!!
another amazing fizhy docuseries update
Love your rdr2 videos
The bayou is my favorite part of the map. Love your vids
I’m glad to see this, I just began my 3rd playthrough of Red Dead 1.
Yeaaah Booii! Gotta love a bit of fresh Fizhy ❤️
always love it when i find something new in rdr 😍
Always read toothsayer for some reason lol
An honest mistake
Great video man
1 hour ago, BEST Rd2 TH-camr. Keep going
Love ur vids mate
when she says 'she'll return to you both' I believe she is referencing death (as death is often referred to as she in alot of media) meaning she has come to kill arthur and john.
I went into red dead 2 knowing that they were going to have to set up the story for John. With this in mind I didn't really expect to care about any of the other gang members. But rockstar did a real good job at flushing out some of the characters. Once Hosea died, the gang didnt have a chance of survival. Had he survived, since he was questioning dutch since the train job in the opening, and he and Arthur both agreed that dutch and Micah messed up a lead they were working on before the blackwater mess. This leads me believe that if dutch kept on going off the rails and demonstrating he was more worried about himself, that Hosea and Arthur would have made a stand. Likely backed up by john and Charles, since Charles was doing his own thing already near the end because he disagreed with dutch's plan, and John was on the same page as Arthur for much of the game really.
Great post!
you are my favorite rdr content creator
I love your rdr2 vids
I think the one about going away and realizing this place isn't as bad could mean Arthur going to Guarma and finding it worse than the U.S.
Possibly, most of her ramblings appear to have multiple meanings. It’s deliberately broad and perhaps that’s so every interpretation is the correct one for you as the player? Or perhaps it’s so every interpretation is wrong like Arthur’s or John’s would be if they even attempt to interpret it at all & something else comes along that fits to subvert expectations.
This is the first person I find that talks about an NPC I've never encountered throughout my 5 playthroughs
now THIS is the most emotional cover of Soothsayer.
I've been wondering after watching a lot of your rdr2 videos, apart from the strange man, is there any other legend/myth/story that spans both games. or something that is hinted at (not stroy related) in rdr and fleshed out in rdr2?
What music is in this vid? I love how ambient it sounds. Great vid as well, this is the first ever time I’m seeing this npc, wow.
I did come across her in my first playthrough in the exact same spot that you came across her. I had been roaming around that area at night trying to find the ghost again when I heard her. Well then I did notice and I don't know if they're actually connected, is after discovering her the blind man has moved locations and is no longer in the plains area
By far the rarest random encounter in the game In all my play throughs not once have I seen her
Okay I’ve looked deeper into that boar, bear, pig. And I’m 100% certain the paleontologist that asks you to find the fossils- made it. If you compare both of her “creations” you can see MANY similarities between em…..multiple pairs of legs, the antlers, wings and she even states she was called “crazy” before. I know it’s a stretch but it all makes sense once you compare side by side pictures
There's always something dragging you back into that God damn swamp
Very nice video man addicted to your vids!
Very video indeed
@@yokez lol thanks for telling me man
I think that it means Sadie, as she comes to John saying she knows where Micah is and John goes, causing his death
it’s like a horror movie
Random fun fact I discovered in Rhodes(but can be applied anywhere). If you see someone smoking a cigar, you can run into them and knock them over, along with their cigar. You can then pick it up and steal it without getting wanted. Free deadeye
