There’s a lodge near Cairn Lake. Look inside the lodge, underneath the bed, and you’ll find the first Poisonous Trail Map. We say map, but it’s more like a drawing. It’s a drawing of a hill that looks like a face. This hill can be found in Lemoyne, north of the Southfield Flats. If you make you way past the face, you’ll find a fallen tree. Search an old, standing tree near this fallen one, and the second Poisonous Trail Map will be inside

Even though everyone more or less agrees that Grand Theft Online was an enormous disaster that squandered its great potential due to Rockstar’s incredibly poor economy driven by the need for Shark Cards, fans everywhere have basically given up pushing back against the rise of microtransactions in favor of just accepting life as it is. As a result, Red Dead Redemption 2 trophies Dead Online is booming in popularity despite Rockstar having learned nothing from their last outing. If you’re one of the brave few trying to enjoy the game’s online half without giving into Gold Bars, you’re probably struggling, but that’s why we’re h

Hot air balloons are not the only method of flight popular at the end of the 19th Century, it seems. To find this reference to the first Red Dead Redemption , make your way to Big Valley in the northwest corner of West Elizabeth. Go southwest of the stilt shack, and you'll find this primitive flying machine laying ruined in the trees. It seems that its inventor may still have some way to finessing their plan. As well as being really neat, it's also one of the points of interest required for 100 percent complet

In GTO, do five bounties for Eccles and then you’ll unlock the hatchet. With the hatchet, slaughter 25 opponents with it and you’ll unlock access to it in Red Dead Online . Hop onto RDO and you’ll need to find the Stone Hatchet near the burial site. It’s a bit of work, but it isn’t difficult to get done by any me

While we have already touched on how amazing it is to see Arthur and the gang evolve and devolve, in this case, I literally mean NPCs. Never in gaming have NPCs been this, for lack of a better term, re

We knew this game was gonna mess us up because RDR 's ending messed us up. Arthur Morgan does not come out of this game alive, sadly. So when you get to that final ride and the music cues in and Arthur starts remembering his life and the people he affected, you would legit have to be dead inside to not feel tears welling in your e

Other than the vampire encounter, this is by far the most fantastical mission in the game. It features one Marko Dragic as he works to finish his masterpiece, to his own detriment. This is another one that takes place in Saint-Denis, so wait till after chapter 4. Your first encounter with Marko is to help him win over some investors with his "toy" submar

Just threaten him a little bit. If that’s not your style, you can purchase this first High Stakes Treasure Map at a fence. This first map should lead you to Cumberland Falls, a waterfall to the west of the town of Valentine. The stash and the next map are behind the fa

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

Red Dead Redemption 2 forever changed the gaming landscape, and those changes will be long-reaching and will reverberate in this industry for years. So what is it that makes Red Dead 2 so exceptional? Is it the scope? Is it the characters? Is it the graphics? Is it the truly engrossing tale of a wild west posse on a scary downward spiral? Yes to all those things. It is a perfect storm of gaming, where every element that factors in helps make it even more powerful. With that being said, it is safe to say RDR2 has forever changed gaming, and here are ten things that prove that to be t

Once you’ve deciphered the second High Stakes Treasure Map (or just checked out this article in order to do so more quickly), it should lead you into the Grizzlies West. The next stash and map are located just a tad to the north of Barrow Lag

Go to any swamp on the map and just start going to town on alligators. Well, maybe not "to town" since the key to hunting is ensuring you get a perfect pelt each time, but the point is that alligators will fetch you quite the pretty penny. Slaughter as many alligators as you can (cleanly, of course,) and take them to the butcher for a handsome pay

This mission has some of the most unique characters in RDR2 . It's found around the Van Horn Trading Post where you'll stop a man named Bertram from choke-slamming a bartender. Turns out he's a sweetheart that works with a woman named Marjorie who's looking for her other employee, Magnif

This does mean, unfortunately, you shouldn’t be buying clothes. Ever. The less you spend on clothes, the more money you’ll naturally be spending. You should only buy clothes when you have a surplus of money that you truly do not need. Otherwise, you’re throwing your cash down a virtual sink with no botdead-end-road-sign-among-green-tree-branches.jpg?width=746&format=pjpg&exif=0&iptc=0
