I'm still farting around in chapter 2, but I'm exploring as much of the map as I can.

I did get a tip that there was a house to rob above strawberry, but all I've seen is a taxidermist cabin and when I go there I can't kick the door in. I can kick it, but it doesn't move and I just look like an rear end in a top hat.

Anyone know where the old lady's cabin is supposed to be?

Its called Watsons Cabin and its NW of wallace station. I read somewhere if you go back after a day her 4 sons show up and they have a lockbox with cash with them....I just murdered the old lady and took her shotgun and stuff....think I'll go back and finish the family off

I had the encounter with the O'Driscols vs. Father and two sons. I helped kill those O'Driscol bastards, but nothing really happened afterward. They mostly bitched about building a house being a dumb idea and I could only antagonize them and that didn't do anything either. I thought they had some kind of wood fetch mission or something.

I accidentally shot the old man when I was still trying to figure out the controls...had to kill the kids too because witnesses...There wasn't any O'Driscols at the time though. They all came back a couple of chapters later and the 2nd time the O'Driscols were attacking them.

Is there a trick to fishing I'm not getting? Seems like I spend 10 minutes reeling, stopping to tire the fish out, quickly reeling again while bringing my rod back, and repeating only for the fish to get free when it's a few feet away. My hands are worn out.

After you hook it you gotta use the left stick to tire it out before you reel it in...it'll probably start kicking again before you get it to shore and you'll have to stop and go left on the stick again until it stops vibrating and the fish tires out....then finish reeling it in and you should be good.

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.

I ran across them twice. The 1st time I just shot them :blastu: and blew the door off the box with some dynamite. The 2nd time I rode up on them they started telling me that it was none of my business and I better get outta there and BOOM they blew themselves up and I just walked over and took the money out of the box. The 2nd time I ran in them was right after the mission where you burn down the tobacco fields so I had a different horse and the explosion killed it....glad it didn't kill theirs.

There was a dead horse there at one point and when I came back to it later someone had built a fire and it was mostly bones....now its just a smoldering fire....I guess thats what they did when I horse died in the middle of nowhere back then? :shrug:

I ran into him early on and when I was sneaking up to his bed to stab him I hit the wrong button and woke him up....he started beating me up and I stabbed him and then his son comes in going hollering for his pa and just stabbed him in the neck.....didn't turn out the way I wanted exactly....whoops

Specifically it's a glowing red spot on the ground that catches anything that passes through it on fire, I don't think it's intentional. There was no fire for me until I passed through it. It's on the three-way fork northwest of Rhodes.

Yeah, thats the same place where the dead horse was....next time I went by it the horse was on fire and mostly bones....3rd time I went by it was just a bunch of hot coals as the horse had burned away....hurt my horse when I ran over it but didn't catch it on fire

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support,

We understand your concern regarding the missing storyline characters in Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Mode. Please be informed that, if the missions "Polite Society" and "Valentine Style" are failed, restart the mission instead of using the "Retry Checkpoint" option. If you have already completed the mission after using the "Retry Checkpoint" option, they will not be present until the start of Chapter 4. We hope you understand.

Regarding premium cigarettes, you don't have to smoke all of them to pick up new ones, you can just go into your satchel (right d-pad) and discard all of them at once.

or you can just smoke 1 and it will pick up a new pack so you can get the card

Pretty sure it's a feral man and not a werewolf. I chased him down once and managed to lasso him but his friends showed up and chewed on me long enough for him to get away. Followed his trail to a cave full of bones.

Rockstar should really just go all in and make a full blown paranormal shennanigans game. It's not like there's a shortage of movies they could slavishly reference by doing so.

He lives in a cave/rock outcropping down by the river. I chased him once and there were 2 wolves standing in front of him barking at me as I stood at the entrance. I already have all the wolf pelts I need so I just left while they barked at me and he was petting them.

bear pelts come from grizzly bears, and they roam the west grizzlies. Probably the East Grizzlies as well, but I usually just run into wolves over there. Black Bears give you Black Bear pelts, and they're primarily in the Black Bone Forest area. They run from you (only large predator that avoids conflict with you as far as I've seen). Wolves spawn in all of these locations as well, and Cougars can spawn in the southern part of the Black Bone Forest area as well, so hunting Black Bears can take some luck (luckily I think you only need two perfect Black Bear Pelts for the clothes). Getting Grizzlies with perfect pelts is a bitch, though... the game says a rifle with express rounds, but that will lower pelt quality. Bow with Poison Arrows then following the thing until it dies is the only way it seems to not lose quality, and they definitely don't shy from a fight. Don't use horses to hunt them, they'll make even the bravest warhorse dump you on your butt when they charge as well.

Rare block rifle with reg rounds to the head kept the griz pelts perfect for me....not sure if I had the trinket for perf pelt chance yet though....I definitely didn't when that bear walked out of that cabin - I shot it point blank with the rare block right between the eyes though

Bounty hunting question: when you capture bounties alive, you can keep returning to the jail to harass them in the cell, they don't just disappear. I'm wondering if anyone has observed a particular time of day bounties are hanged- at some point I think this happens as they will disappear from the cell if you're gone too long. I really want to see this particular bounty swing, and being that Rockstar is meticulous with details I'm wondering if anyone has seen one of their bounties actually strung up.

IIRC I saw one in Rhodes....I think it was the guy that initially surrenders and then has his buddies ambush you to try to get him back but I could be wrong...definitely saw someone swing though...

I have an interesting bug, can anyone help? I got in an O'Driscoll fight halfway to Valentine on the road from camp.

In the fight mistakes were made and a horse got killed.

Now, days later, the horse corpse is still there. If I ride by and there's anybody on the road, they turn into a witness of animal cruelty and try to report me.

How can I get rid of the corpse? It seems to be getting more decomposed by the day, does it eventually disappear?

Can you blow it up enough to move it out of sight? Dunno if burning it will make it go away....
