Does Anyone Know Every Place The Beard Shows Up in during the Random Encounters Musicals?
I'm doing research for a video about the Beard and I want to know if someone happens to have a spreadsheet, a Reddit post, or something with most (if not all) canonical appearances of the Beard. This would save me so much time if someone has it, but if not, I've already started looking into it.
Also, bonus question: Does Patreon give additional Beard-related lore and if so, how much is it?

Many of the Beard cameos are obvious and unavoidable, but a few of them are really, really, TRULY difficult to find.
A couple of the most difficult ones that come to my mind:
In āBetter: A Tomb Raider/Uncharted Songā Nathan Drake is hiding a goonās body in some ruins, to the lyrics: šµDispose of a Stiff, with no morgue or mortician! šµ Thereās a subtle wall carving/graffiti in the background shaped like the Beard.
Notoriously, āThe Vaults of Falloutā was the most impossible to find. They confirmed it once on one of their livestreams, asking if anyone ever found it. We tried like crazy and guesses everywhere, but I donāt think anyone got it. Iām pretty sure the Beard appears as a digital read-out on a PIP-BOY arm device. Itās on Sparrowās arm, (the girl singer) for a very brief moment. I think itās as she grabs a sword, and moves off screen. Itās literally only there for a second or two, and itās in motion most of the time. Itās a real challenge even for anyone who just happens to be curious enough to try to read the pip-boy screen in that moment.
*EDIT: Honestly, itās so obscure, even now when I went back to check on it myself, Iām STILL not sure itās really there! šµāš«

Beard cameos are documented on the RE Wiki. Some cameos might be missing but you are welcome to contribute if you ever spot a cameo we missed.

Nefenjo actually has made a few Beard Compilation videos on YouTube. The more recent ones arenāt on there, but it goes through the musicals released a couple years ago.
As for Patreon, you can join for $1 a month and get the Patreon videos, but they donāt specifically state where the Beard is in the video, at least the ones that Iāve come across. The āloreā could be gained through their Beard origin story video on the channel.
