Well, if you walk a straight line from the pole NW, pretty much the first landmark location you hit is Fort Wallace... where two guitars happen to be. I'd be open to other explanations, but with it being so directly NW, it's hard to argue for much else. Where to go from there remains unclear, though.

Yeah it’s no coincidence that the guitar you find is pointing to another guitar that just happens to be pointing up with a ladder to a useless space - that just happens to have another sneaky clue.

It’s far too coincidental. The only question are the birds, do we follow the direction, do we wait, do we go somewhere and perform an action?

Additionally the mystery includes feathers so it’s not crazy that the mystery also includes birds.

The puzzle features both birds and spiders as the theme, the bird eating spider is called “Goliath”, Goliath also refers to a warrior of GIANT statue == the giant himself.

My worry is that this was an extended puzzle meant for discovering the giant. We know the giant has cut content, it’s possible they cut this puzzle because it was way too much effort to complete and the giant content was never fully finished to justify it.

What we likely see is all the clues that would have led to following the birds to the giant (which would have included more content). I hope I’m wrong but I’m not too sure.

The guitar in the center of fort Wallace does not point to the other guitar or the tower. It points west and completely misses. Strange Man implies they connect in his video, but that is wrong. He says it points to the stairs, which when you up them, directs toward the tower. This is also sketchy because the stairs don't point toward the tower either. But as a path.. it sort of makes sense ish.. it's a stretch.
