I figured what the gave you was supposed to kill you but Arthur is badass and slept it off.

Why they didn't loot your guns I guess is just video game logic :shrug:

If it's a special hat, then you can't actually lose it. It will just go back to your inventory and be on your horse as far as I know.

I don't know, but he took a $1.00 from me, which is exactly the cost of a hotel room for the night. And I had a ton of cash on me at the time too, like several hundred dollars.

Also, I feel a little silly after the Valentine Bank Robbery mission because now I'm running around with over $2500 on me.

You don't have to actually "hunt" the legendary animals. Somewhere in the area there will be a "?" on the minimap that starts a tracking-chain that always leads to you getting the drop on the animal. If you use the special vision mode the "?" is visible on the map further away.

The small island off the coast of the camp in Chapter 3 has a wrecked boat with a tricorn hat in it.

Also, just wondering if drinking from the witch's cauldron does anything? Arthur just passed out and woke up a little bit away.

Be brave.



Kind of a broad question but what items are worth crafting? Are there any non-obvious mats that I should be hanging on to? I'm near the end of Chapter 2 and haven't done much hunting yet beyond just taking out convenient nearby animals and the legendary bear mission that you get really on. Only thing I've crafted is a double holster at the trapper, which ended up being a poor decision because I got one for free like a mission or two later.

You can completely ignore the crafting if you don't like it, the things that improve your character power are entirely overkill for how easy the game is. If you like hunting you can make funny costumes at the trapper if you like any of them, that should probably be your main concern.

"Suckle on this receptacle!"
Welp, I was randomly roaming around and, as I am want to do, head toward what looks to be a random cabin I see on the map.

Head inside and see a letter on the table. It's written by a confederate soldier to his northern, abolitionist wife about his lamentations. They were supposed to be fighting for 'States' Rights' and kick the poo poo out of some northerners for trying to impose their will on 'em but, hey, turns out the south was super in the wrong and now they were probably going to die on top of that because everything's falling apart. He was hoping he wouldn't die but looks like he did. And then his wife basically just went on until she died because there's her skeleton on the floor how'd I miss that.



I love this game for just random stuff like this.

Does anybody have any idea where you can reliably get animal fat? I slaughtered an entire field of cows and didn't get a single bit of it.

I've heard pigs regularly have it but I don't know where any pig farms are. Aberdeen was uhh... a bit misrepresented on that map to say the least...

I'm at the point right now where I'm perfectly willing to wipe out an entire farm and the people that work on it just to get my precious animal fat.

Ducks and Geese. Troll around rivers and lakes, and slaughter them with the .22

you won't find a legendary unless the popup shows that says "you've entered legendary territory", this means it has spawned and is available to track. I've got to legendary spots and not had this popup, and I have had the same exact experience as you. but when I go to a legendary spot and this pops up, I usually find the legendary really easily. so I usually gently caress off and go do something else for a few days, then go back to see if the thing pops up.

I was getting the notification for entering legendary territory, repeatedly . The problem is, it always said that there was “too much activity” in the area. That was a list of poo poo I tried to get rid of whatever “too much activity” is, so the bastard would spawn.

Wait, where do you take baths in this game? I just realized I haven't washed my dude since I started. No one's commented yet, but maybe that's because I took a swim recently while treasure huntin'

And in more tales from the frontier...I'm an outlaw who's an outlaws worst nightmare. So far I've stumbled across a couple of morons busy hammering away on a lock box from a wagon they hijacked. I stayed a good distance away and after they succeeded opening the box I shot em both while they celebrated. I took the contents for safe keeping.

Then later as I crossed a plateau near the choo choo track I overheard a trio of O'Driscolls in the midst of a railway heist. I watched as they robbed the train and killed the crew and passengers. The O'Driscolls began to ride off while commenting on how much fun that was. One dead eye later and I was looting their corpses.

Sufficed to say I'm always wearing my bandana.

Some robberies are missions given by your gang friends. Others are things you can just stumble on by yourself and get tips for from strangers.

They're like two suicide notes stuffed into a glitter bra

I wound up starting over because of the missing characters bug. Did the mission with Hosea for the legendary bear. I got the bear and then tried to ride out to the trapper. Managed to get stuck on a mountainside twice, did a couple of stranger encounters, and loaded up my horse with pelts along the way, including a couple of perfects that I hadn't gotten before.

Finally made it to the trapper's wilderness camp after about 2 hours. Went to trade him the pelts, somehow accidentally shot him, and immediately turned off the console.

Never had an issue with the controls until this, I did get mildly annoyed.

It really feels like if you want to make a game where you can't just follow map icon after map icon like a braindead Ubi formula game, then you should probably not have a bunch of invisible progression blockers that get in the way of this stuff.

I get that they want you to have some sense of progression but it kinda sucks when the world is super well realized to run into poo poo where you're blocked from proceeding without good reason.

Man mine went entirely different from both of these. In my game he was one of the late-chapter debt missions, not a home invasion. I found him fishing and told him his debt was owed, and he walked me up to his house and made his poor son pour us some whiskeys and the son was like "another one?" and he snapped on him. When I walked over to get the money off him from under the cupboard he pulled a knife and loving slashed me, so I choked the gently caress out of him. His son ran to the bedroom and gave me $50 he had been hiding from his dad to settle the debt. It was a major bummer all around.

Foretold by Gyromancy
I spent like 10 in-game days in Big Valley camping and hunting in the area near the trapper and legendary buck. There's loads of stuff there - ram, cougars, wolves, bears, boars, snakes, a legendary fish, elk. I even saw a big moose swimming across the lake :3: It's great because the trapper is so close by that you can get tons of crafted gear and a few master hunter challenges out of the way. You don't have to worry about those high tension long rides with perfect pelts where some random encounter threatens all your hard work. I also got mauled to death by a giant grizzly and it was some Revenant poo poo.
