Red Dead Redemption 2 Cobalt Petrified Wood

Okay, let's talk Red Dead Redemption 2. We all love it, right? Gorgeous landscapes, epic story, and horses with… personality. But there's something I need to get off my chest.
Cobalt Petrified Wood: Overrated?
Yeah, I said it. Cobalt Petrified Wood. It's pretty, sure. All that blue swirling inside ancient wood. But is it *that* amazing?
I mean, people go wild for this stuff. Guides dedicated to finding it. Forum threads exploding with location secrets. Is it really worth all the hype?
A Rock and a Hard Place (to Find Cool Stuff)
Let's be honest. The world is packed with cool stuff to discover. There are dinosaur bones scattered across the map. There are hidden caves and bandit camps. Why is everyone so obsessed with blue rocks?
Maybe it's the color? Blue is rare in the game, I guess. Most of the world is browns and greens. But still. Seems a bit much, doesn't it?
I've spent hours searching for this stuff. Following maps, climbing rocks, getting mauled by cougars. All for a piece of blue wood. My sanity is slowly draining.
Other Treasures Beckon
Look, I'm not saying it's ugly. It's just... not my jam. I'd rather find a cool looking revolver. Or a unique hat. Something useful, you know?
I'm more interested in exploring abandoned shacks. Listening to ghost stories. Finding clues to unsolved mysteries. The Cobalt Petrified Wood? It just sits there.
Plus, what are you even gonna do with it? Decorate your camp? Sell it for a few bucks? Seems like a lot of effort for minimal reward.
Unpopular Opinion Time
Okay, get ready for a truly shocking statement. I think there are prettier rocks in the game. Seriously. Some of the geodes and crystals you find are stunning.
They might not be blue, but they have their own unique charm. The way the light catches them. The intricate patterns inside. Far more interesting.
And don't even get me started on the gold nuggets! Shiny, valuable, and easy to find. What's not to love? The Cobalt Petrified Wood suddenly seems less impressive.
Cobalt Petrified Wood: I'm Breaking Up With You
So, to all the Cobalt Petrified Wood enthusiasts out there: I respect your passion. I really do. But I'm officially breaking up with the blue wood obsession.
I'm moving on to bigger and better things. Like hunting legendary animals. Robbing trains. Perfecting my beard grooming routine. The usual.
Maybe one day I'll come back to it. Maybe one day I'll finally understand the appeal. But for now, I'm done. Farewell, Cobalt Petrified Wood. It was... mostly okay.
Don't get me wrong, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games ever made. But the treasure hunting feels a little lopsided. So, what do you think? Am I completely off base? Or is the Cobalt Petrified Wood a little overhyped?
Let me know in the comments... assuming you can tear yourself away from the search!
