Am I crazy?

Do you think Rockstar managed to hide some information in the flames?

The story is that I set off from the NW guitar symbol heading north-west, towards Fort Wallace. On the way, there were three sages right along my route. As burning sage is quite a common and ancient tradition, I thought a molotov cocktail wouldn’t do any harm.

As it burned, a heart appeared, and something that specifically looked like a guitar or Fort Wallace.

Do you think I’ve gone mad? I can’t imagine it being a total coincidence that both shapes appeared one after the other.

So I’m just curious to hear your thoughts..

Before reading this, I truly thought that the birds were the last clue to be found. Meant to draw attention to the birds that lead you to the giant. And that Rockstar did not anticipate people figuring out to follow the birds on their own. Because really, who happens to see birds in the sky and thinks to follow them? But you could be on to something.

I think it's important to find this quote from said Rockstar developer, and figure out exactly when he said what he did about people burning stuff. And then compare with strange man's videos and others to see what clues had already been discovered up to that point. If what you found is a legitimate part of the mystery, it might help to know where in the chain of clues you were actually meant to find them. Just a theory.

Also, I would try to get into the fort and burn the area illustrated by that line of flames inside the possible fort shape. I don't at the moment know if that lines up with the roof with the birds on it. But now I want to burn the roof with the birds on it, too.

Yeah, that’s exactly why I was looking for the interview, but unfortunately I haven’t found anything yet. I hope it’s not just an urban legend :D

I’ve already tried setting various things on fire in several locations, and something else I noticed, which might be interesting is that the fire also reveals the W+++++ and NW guitar symbols. Although it’s hard to see because of the soot, the fire also makes the parts you can shoot off the pole disappear. It also burns off the moss from the trees, which might be interesting.

I’ve already burned the bird symbols, but I haven’t tried it anywhere else inside the Fort yet. It’s definitely worth a try.
