What makes the journal even more beautiful is the fact that it records your moments in-game and weaves them into the life of Arthur. I may not be able to make Arthur loyal to Dutch in the end or have him be pals with Micah, but I can decide what side activities he partakes in or the animals he hunts. It gives what I do in-game life. The journal becomes my version of Arthur’s final days, giving my playtime a personal, lively touch that I’ve never experienced in a game before: Arthur’s story and mine intertwine.
We’ve taken a look back at all of the countless hours we’ve plowed into Red Dead Redemption 2 so far, and put together 25 hidden plotlines that you’re sure to have missed in your first run through! Some of them take just a few minutes to discover, whilst others involve hours of memorable questing, resulting in some fantastic rewa
While in Rhodes, you unlock the ability to sell stolen horses to a horse fence. Do not do this. It is not worth the effort. Why? Because a basic stolen horse will net you maybe $2. If you want to increase the price, you’ll have to significantly bond with the horse, and this may take a few in-game days. And your reward will be a price increase from $2 to $5. Yay. Yes, you can make more money with rarer horses, but that includes both finding and taming them, which could also take a while. In the end, horse selling is a mug’s game and it’s not worth the time or effort invol
Bounty hunting has returned from the first game, and while the bounties don’t seem as plentiful this time around, they still provide a decent income for the more morally inclined among us. There are a total of eleven bounty missions throughout the game, and they collectively pay $650. That’s roughly $60 per bounty, which is certainly not a bad take considering the limited amount of work involved. Plus, hunting down bad guys is always a good time. It may not be the fastest way to make money, but it’s honest work. Kind
The journal is a stellar hand-written chronicle of the game’s story and your influence woven together from the perspective of the game’s two leads. It is richly-detailed in an engrossing way that made me play around it. Instead of opening it when I had a chance, I made time for it.
You can’t buy the Poisonous Trail maps at a fence or off of some random stranger. You just have to luckily stumble across it. Or, conversely, you could just look up where it is right here. To find the first Poisonous Trail Map, go to Cairn Lake. This lake is to the southeast of Colter, the first base the Van der Linde Gang took refuge in during Chapter
If you’d prefer to live a more honest life, then hunting is always an option. Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay nearly as well as stealing wagons. Hunting animals is not only risky business, but it’s hard work. You have to find an animal, hope that it’s a nice three-star version, and then dispose of it cleanly. Then you have to skin it and ride it back to the butcher’s, all for maybe $10 in pelts and meat. In the time it takes you to hunt four perfect animals for $40 you could have stolen one wagon outside Emerald Ranch. Plus you get your clothes and your horse all messy, and who wants t
Climb up the tower and examine the hills around you. That strange snake pattern should be on one of the hills nearby. There is a mass of stones beside this snake, and within the stones you’ll find the final Poisonous Trail
When the main chapters of Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting Guide Dead ’s story pass into the epilogues and John takes the reins for the rest of the game, he has Arthur’s journal. Arthur gave John his satchel and it inspires the rugged and stubborn to-be-rancher to express himself. John has a difficult time opening up to those he truly loves, Abigail and Jack, and expressing emotions doesn’t come easily to him. But through Arthur’s life and death, John begins to learn how to speak what’s not only on his mind, but etched on his heart.
After Arthur Morgan either dies of tuberculosis or gets shot/stabbed by Micah Bell, depending on your ending, you swap to playing as John Marston with his family; or, as the leaker puts it, “jon marsten.” As the poster originally described at the time:
What did the leak say exactly that sounded so far-fetched but ended up so accurate? Well, let’s get into it. Again, we’re entering spoiler territory now . I’m going to put an image below to divide this in case you glanced over the text, as the rest of this will begin to involve spoilers. Remember that curiosity killed the cat.
In a massive (and occasionally daunting) open-world game made by hundreds of people over thousands and thousands of work hours, I sometimes nestle into one or two areas or goals to make the game feel more manageable. It usually starts out as focus on the story and side quests that interest me; from there, maybe I focus on filling out the map or tracking down secrets. By the end of my time with a game on that scale, one of those tasks triumphs over the others and becomes my favorite element in the game.
