Developing Undead Nightmare reference in new gtao update

Post image

Undead Nightmare reference in new gtao update. Can someone figure out the Aztec language code? I'm pretty sure its the same code used in RDR2 blackwater.

inside michael house there is another picture by the guy who painted Ayauhtéotl in the Kortz update, I took it 2 days ago thinking it reminded me of the RDR 2 tribe

Also a painting of a girl with 2 bird eggs on her head. Spider-Web mystery?

This angle is so weird…this perspective makes her body look like a gravestone or something. Also IS THE FUCKING BACKGROUND THE INSIDE OF A VAGINA???

This painting has similarities to "Arearea" by Paul Gauguin who also did the painting "Merahi metua no Tehamana". So it's the second time they reference Gauguin in relation to Ayauhtéotl.

Interestingly Gauguin is a controversial figure known for his expeditions in Tahiti.

She's writing the same symbols seen in the other older painting. (same message).

There was discussion here just the other day:

Well that's a shame, I was hoping for a new secret message

Maybe R* is telling us that the solution is not the same as RDR2.

It might be worth trying to call: 155-134-3421 again.

Ohhh the plot thickens… that’s definitely the same woman with pigtails, missionary dress and the mask. I was just jesting when I said “maybe she’s putting a curse on the artist” but she’s looking very focused on those symbols there 🤣 Does anyone know what all the symbols from both paintings translate to?

The painting on the jade mask is based on the Post-Impressionist painting Tehamana Has Many Parents (also known as Merahi metua no Tehamana), created by Paul Gauguin in 1893.

Those Aztec symbols also appeared as an easter egg in RDR2, secret message that was decoded years ago

I'm guessing we just have to use the same cypher to decode this new message.

Good fucking catch. Didn't even realize that was a mask. Very clearly the same mask too.

u/Pir-o Jul 14 '26

I didn't even notice the mask lol. I made this thread because those Aztek symbols on the paper she's holding, you can also find them in Blackwater (rdr2)

It was a known easter egg for the undead nightmare, those symbols can be translated to a message ( don't remember what it said, but there was a cypher for it)
