Release the Kraken
I've been getting the message that there is too much activity for the legendary buck to spawn. I've ran out and back in a few times, cleared out a bunch of wildlife, saved and reloaded, rested multiple times to various parts of the day, and looked around for any stranger events but nothing is solving this issue.

Any idea what's going on and how to get the buck to spawn? I want that trinket.

It's usually bounty hunters even if they're ages away. Have you cleared your bounty?

Man, I got the hunting bug something FIERCE. I haven't even gotten around to looking for Legendaries yet. I'm having too much fun looking for 3 star regular animals.

Now that I've gotten a few 3 star pelts I just can't stop hunting for more. All different animals. All the drat time. It's completely halted my Story progression at Chapter 6 and I'm constantly looking for new garish ways to dress up Arthur in Trapper-made clothes all the time.

MUST. HUNT.

I'm an upstanding, good cowboy citizen who avoids bounties (or at least pays them off as soon as I get them). I haven't ever seen a bounty hunter.

In my experience something has spawned on top of the "clues" that you need to find and follow when hunting legendary animals. In my case there was a lone guy camping right on top of the first clue. I think the solution is to leave the area, let 3 in-game days pass and then go back and hope you get lucky. I traveled to Saint Denis and slept for a few days and went back and there it was.

I finished the game and watched all the credits. Don’t mouse over this spoiler if you haven’t. is there any more “main story” stuff that will happen, or do we just live happily ever after on the ranch in perpetuity until I decide to start rdr1? and is there any recommended side stuff I should check out and do at this point? I just rode into armadillo for the gently caress of it and I feel like I’ve still only seen like half of this game

The hunting requests net you something truly special.

In one of the train stations (or maybe all of them) you can find a hunting request for perfect carcasses. That sets off a chain. Mostly birds and rodents. The birds will take you a while since all of them require you to kill them with a bow using small game arrows and can be a pain to find but the reward for doing all of them is amazing.

I don’t know if I’m done with all the Albert Mason missions, but I swear the entire time I was waiting for some other shoe to drop but nope, Arthur just forges this friendship with this goofy and kinda careless but ultimately well meaning animal and nature lover who didn’t end up being some lovely wacky satire or parody character that rockstar loves so much and had a satisfying ending rowing off into the sunset and it’s so nice

I'd look up what you need online so you can just go on a huntabout and get all of the since a lot of the bird types aren't quite near each other. I'm not sure if it's a bug or because of the talisman, but I've killed "Good" quality birds with the appropriate weapon and ammo and when I picked it up I got credit for having a "perfect" carcasses. So it just may come down to finding the appropriate species and killing a small, flying target with the bow.

Also since birds go in your satchel, you don't have to worry about them rotting. Just don't cook gamey bird meat at the campfire.

It's lame that you seem to be locked out of totally completing the hunting requests until the epilogue though. I already have most of what I'll need for the final one and I'm worried that I'm going to accidently sell them or that they'll disappear by some bug or plot contrivance :ohdear:

The first one is the best short by far.

The second is good as well, as are the last two.

The third and fourth I found kind of boring. Especially the one with Tom Waits which sucks because if you told me Coen Bros. and Tom Waits I'd say there is no way it could be anything but great.

None of the factors that people have speculated cause the buck not to spawn explained it in my case. I tried various times, logged out, came in on resaves, killed animals, didn’t kill animals, killed people, didn’t kill people etc. And he just sort of arbitrarily spawned in the morning (not the early morning though), at a time when the area hadn’t been cleared of people or animals and there was a black bear milling around. I had given up and was just trying to get some boar or elk pelts, not trying to be quiet and not being methodical in any way.

:shrug:

It was a gigantic, endless pain in the rear end but the trinket has been great in my experience (some people seem to be underwhelmed, though, so caveat emptor)

I am trying to get to the legendary alligator and every single mission is making me madder and madder because they are just in the way, in between me and my crocodile dundee hat.

One bad mission I didn't want to do but maybe had to dumped me out in the middle of town directly on top of my dumb ex wife and before I could turn around and go literally anywhere else more promising she calls to me from a window and I gotta go do some dumb poo poo for her.

The mission involves chasing after a carriage? and I whistled for my horse as I ran down the street, the horse answered, but didn't come, and last time that happened, it was because the mission wanted me to chase on foot. I assumed this time was like that time.

This time it didn't mean that. They wanted me to run to my horse and then continue chasing. I didn't do this. I chased that carriage for 10 real life minutes on foot, cutting corners and hopping cow fences and they failed me just at the end. I'm pretty ornery about that.

e: yeah playing it again if you just steal a horse the cart hauls rear end to be just barely faster than you. If you're on foot the driver taunts you like a lovely car that keeps pulling away as you reach for the door handle. Emergent bullying gameplay.

I had that problem with the buck and it ended up being a big npc story initiated from a nearby campsite that cleared out the activity. (ie: go to the nearby empty campsite and camp iirc)

I came off my mountain of hunting, from loving around in the wild all week, in search of one thing. I powered through nine hours of plot today to get to my goddamn crocodile dundee hat against the protest of that little voice in my head that said I should be doing better things. Every single guide says chapter 4 is when you get the legendary hunting mission. Every one that even acknowledges that you can't do it yet says that it's 4.

And they're all wrong. It's 6. FYI.

Finally got the bull moose. I was coming back from fishing at Isabella Lake and there was one just laying down on the ice at Barrow Lagoon. Seemed kind of unfair to shoot it since he wasn’t even standing up but I’ve been looking for the fucker for like 3 days. Besides the antler campfire deco I also got the moose chaps which are probably the best looking chaps, they have pockets!

Now I’m just missing Arthur’s cougar skin chest but I can live without that until I naturally accrue some pelts after they try to bushwhack me. Now to maybe finish chapter 3.

The legendary bull gator is the focus of a (terrible) story mission, so it’s not available to hunt until later chapters.
