Red Dead Redemption 2: Red Dead Redemption 2 100% Completion Guide

Next up

Chapter 1: Colter

The opening chapter: the gang shelters from a blizzard in Colter and Arthur rides out on six story missions before the camp moves down to the Heartlands.

This guide finishes everything in one playthrough. It follows the story chapter by chapter with Arthur on the high-honor path, and each mission says which choice keeps his honor up. Every chapter closes some content behind it, so read each warning before the mission it sits above. Most map collectibles wait for the region sweeps after the story, when the whole map is open and nothing can be lost. Gold medals can be replayed after the credits, but the first run is easier.

Chapter 1 runs on rails

The blizzard keeps Arthur in Colter between missions; riding off alone gets him killed, so there is no free roam until the chapter ends. Nothing here counts toward a missable trophy. The only things to watch are the unique horse and two letters on the train.

Chapter 2: Horseshoe Overlook and Valentine

Free roam opens. Valentine and the camp at Horseshoe Overlook, the first strangers and camp chores, the Jack Hall Gang treasure, a bear hunt in the Grizzlies and the first honor missions.
Camp chapters: the tithing box, requests and activities

From here to the end of Chapter 4 the camp has three systems that close for good with "Banking, The Old American Art". Tithing box beside Dutch's tent: your own cash or valuables count toward Give to the Poor ($250 in all); $20 or more at once also raises honor. Item requests: gang members stop you in camp (mostly 8:00 to 20:00) and ask for an item; talk to them again with it. More open once you have done a mission with someone. Five delivered gives Errand Boy, and some givers ask only in Chapter 2. Companion activities: a member invites you out (a hunt, a robbery); one in each of the three camps gives Friends With Benefits. They are random, so if none shows, sleep or move the story on. Each request and activity is listed where it is easiest.

Keep Arthur's honor high from now on

Two Chapter 6 honor missions need honor level 4 of 8, and the ending this route takes is the high-honor one. Greet people, help strangers, do camp chores, release fish and give $20 or more to the box; each mission below names its honorable choice.

Welcome to the New WorldQuest step

Guarma's own animals: optional, and only while you can roam

Seven species live only here: three macaws, the Red-footed Booby and three boas. Zoologist and Skin Deep don't need them, but they have compendium entries and the island can't be revisited. Take them now, before either mission: from La Capilla go to the waterfall for the macaws, follow the river for the booby, then go downhill to the snake spot and cycle it (the boas also need tracking). Arthur has no journal here, so they get entries but no sketches. The Cuban Land Crab and Green Iguana also live on Guarma; the guide lists both later at Flat Iron Lake, but they count if you take them here.

Sweep: Great Plains and Tall Trees

The first post-story sweep: the ranch at Beecher's Hope, then Tall Trees out to the Bear Claw owls and the legendary fish of Aurora Basin, and back to Blackwater for six cards and two bounties.
The sweeps: the rest of the map in one loop

From here the guide rides one loop out of Beecher's Hope, one region per section: Great Plains and Tall Trees, New Austin, Big Valley, Grizzlies West, Grizzlies East, Cumberland Forest and Valentine, the Heartlands, Roanoke Ridge (two parts), Bluewater Marsh, Bayou Nwa, Saint Denis, Scarlett Meadows (two parts), then the treasure hunts and a wrap-up. Almost nothing in the sweeps can be lost; the few one-off finds are flagged where you meet them: Zhou Yi's letter on a body in New Austin, the sculptor's note in the Grizzlies East, a letter on a burnt body at the Heartlands oil derrick, the Manito Glade hermit's Rare Shotgun in Roanoke Ridge and the Rare Orchids Order after Algernon's last list. Everything else can wait. For each animal, press Study while it is in your binoculars (no tracking needed), then kill it and skin, pluck or pick it up; Eagle Eye picks out small finds such as bones, crayfish and fish in the water. If a species won't show, sleep or reload a save to re-roll the local wildlife.

Summary
Uncle wants the makings of a home remedy. Bringing them pays four unique clothes (Tornado Boots, Classic Frock Coat, Drifter Hat, Frontier Vest) and a little honor.

Algernon's exotics: five hand-ins, three short trips

Algernon gives one list per visit to his greenhouse, and the next only when the last is handed in; the open list is in your satchel (Documents, Exotic Collector's List). If you followed the sweeps' pick-ahead tips, you already hold every plume and egg and all but the last orchid of each kind: those stop growing one short until their list is given, so lists 2, 4 and 5 each need a short trip (by train from Victoria Street Station) before the hand-in. Orchids glow in Eagle Eye.

Survivalist 10: one of every fish speciesOther
Location

Summary
Catch one of each of the 15 fish species; a legendary fish counts as its ordinary species.

The map sweep is complete

That was the last region. The treasure hunts follow as their own pass, since their maps cross the whole map in a fixed order, and then the wrap-up gathers what needs several towns at once: strand finales, the hunting lists, table games and the last challenges.

Sweep: Treasure hunts

The treasure chains in one ride: Face Rock, a train west for two first maps, the bayou church, up the Kamassa to Serpent Mound and the Elysian Pool cave, west to Cumberland Falls, Barrow Lagoon and Fort Wallace, then Bolger Glade, the Elemental Trail in New Austin and the sundial on Mount Shann.
How this pass works

Each map points to the next stash, so a chain can't be taken out of order; this pass threads the chains into one ride from Rhodes to Mount Shann, with a train or stagecoach where a chain jumps across the map. The Jack Hall Gang chain (Chapter 2) already gave Explorer 2 to 4 and the one finished chain 100% needs. The six Poisonous Trail and High Stakes finds below cover Explorer 5 to 10; an optional Landmarks map counts as a find too, so a rank may pop before its item. Gold bars fetch $500 each at a fence: Rhodes, Emerald Ranch, Saint Denis and Van Horn have one, West Elizabeth and New Austin none.

Poisonous Trail stash 1: Face RockKey item
Location
Scarlett Meadows · Face Rock – From Rhodes, ride north to Hill Haven Ranch and take the road north-west: Face Rock is on its left. Go round the rock's right side, past a tree and down the slope to a hollow, withered trunk with a fallen log behind it; the map is in the hole at its base.
Summary
Poisonous Trail map 2. The first map, from Cairn Lodge in Chapter 2, points here; this one leads to Serpent Mound in Roanoke Ridge.
Report an issue
High Stakes map 1: treasure hunter near Riggs StationKey item
Location
Big Valley · Riggs Station – Back in Rhodes, take the train from Rhodes Station to Riggs Station. The hunter turns up between the station and Diablo Ridge, often on a rock north-east of the station, poring over the map: sprint into him and it drops into your satchel with no honor lost (looting him after a hogtie or a kill costs honor). Let him go several times and the fences start selling the map.
Summary
The first High Stakes map, carried by a wandering treasure hunter; it leads to Cumberland Falls.
Report an issue
Landmarks stash 1: Tiny ChurchKey item
Location
Bayou Nwa · Lakay – From Riggs Station ride to Strawberry and take the stagecoach to Saint Denis, then head north-west into the swamp toward Lakay: the little white chapel stands alone in the water east of Lakay, with alligators around it. Climb onto the roof and search the bell tower.
Summary
Landmarks map 2, on the church the Obelisk map drew (you took that map in the Big Valley sweep); it leads to the Mysterious Hill Home by Bacchus Bridge.
Report an issue
Poisonous Trail stash 2: Serpent MoundKey item
Location
Roanoke Ridge · Serpent Mound – From the Tiny Church (or Saint Denis, by train from Riggs Station, if you skip the Landmarks chain), ride to Lagras and follow the Kamassa River north to Huron Glen, the shack due west of Van Horn. Take the road east and climb the lookout tower south of it to see the snake; the map is in the hole inside the ring of rocks at its round west end.
Summary
Poisonous Trail map 3: the Face Rock map points to Serpent Mound, and this one leads into a cave at Elysian Pool.

Cabin: Reed Cottage (not a counted shack)Area
Location
Roanoke Ridge · Annesburg – Ride on east to Van Horn; if you still carry the Gold Ingot from A Strange Kindness, sell it at the fence on the pier, as the Sketched Map's ingot won't pick up while you hold one. Then ride north past Annesburg to Reed Cottage, a wooden bungalow with a green door and a well in front.

A cabin the 100% list doesn't count. Its fireplace hides the Sketched Map.

Roanoke Ridge · Elysian Pool – Out of the cave, climb the ridge on the pool's north-west side, below the second R of "Kamassa River" on the map. From the tree carved with an X, walk 20 steps north and 5 east and lift the rock; the ingot won't pick up while you carry another.

From the saddle between its two peaks, go left along the ledge, run up the thin ramp, drop down twice, jump the gap and duck under the overhang to the bars in the rocks; land carefully, as the slopes can slide you off the ridge.

The treasure pass is done

Keep the last bars (six from Mount Shann, one from Coot's Chapel) for the next fence you pass: none trades in West Elizabeth or New Austin. The wrap-up starts close by, at the Strawberry post office and then Francis Sinclair's cabin north-west of Strawberry.

Post-game wrap-up

What the map sweep leaves: three strand finales, the table-game tour, Ms. Hobbs's last list and the squirrel statue, the last challenge ranks, the Bandit crimes and Bountiful, the 100% counters, then Gold Rush and Best in the West.
What's left, and how to get around

These tasks need several towns or the whole map, so ride the stagecoaches and trains between stops. The Bandit ranks come late on purpose: every one of them costs honor. The gold bars from the last treasure hunts can't be sold in West Elizabeth or New Austin, which have no fence: the first fence on this route is the pawnbroker in Saint Denis.

First stop: the Strawberry post office

From the Mount Shann sundial, ride down to Strawberry Depot and collect the letters waiting for you: Francis Sinclair's and Jeremy Gill's invitations, and Deborah MacGuiness's if it has come. If you still have bone or carving locations to mail, mail them now, then sleep a day or two before you collect that invitation.

Gambler 4: bust a poker player at Flatneck Station, Saint Denis and ValentineOther
Location
Heartlands · Valentine – Back in Valentine, sit at the poker table in Smithfield's Saloon, then ride to the one inside the Flatneck Station building. Flatneck sells no tickets, so ride on to Emerald Station (or back to Valentine) and take the train to Saint Denis for the Bastille Saloon's table. Save before you sit; going all in on a strong hand busts players fastest, and in Saint Denis sell your gold bars to the pawnbroker fence at the market by the tracks.

Horseman 9: Van Horn to Blackwater in 17 minutes, dryOther
Location
Great Plains · Blackwater – Start at Van Horn and cross only on dry bridges: rail bridges such as the one at Bard's Crossing, and Owanjila Dam, the only dry way over the Upper Montana River. Dismounting, falling or stopping for a fight resets the run, and Dewberry Creek may count as water.

Anywhere – Replay any finished mission from Pause > Progress > Story; its gold checklist shows only on a replay. A gold needs every objective in one run (a retry starts the ticks over), and replays give a preset loadout and horse without tonics, so pick the golds you find easiest.
Summary
Earn gold medals in 70 of the 104 story missions; golds from your first run count, and replays make up the rest.

Golds called the hardest
MissionChapterWhy it is hard
Archeology for Beginners6Taking the relics unseen inside 1:30; a soldier outside may spot you even in stealth.
The Course of True Love II3Reaching Penelope unspotted inside 3:00, harder with the replay loadout.
Horsemen, Apocalypses4Sidearms only, 70% accuracy, 15 headshots and no health items in one run.
Just a Social Call6Reaching the horses inside 2:45 at the end, hard without knowing the way.
The Joys of Civilization4Catching the urchin before the market without stamina upgrades.
A Fork in the Road; Visiting Hours; Motherhood5; 6; EpilogueTight timers players report (3:05, 9:00, 1:30).
Stuck at 99%?

Open Progress > Total Completion and find the unticked row. The usual causes: Health, Stamina or Dead Eye stuck at level 8 because the reinforced sets were never bought; a robbery done inside a mission, or an ordinary coach or till, which don't count (a tip-off coach and a shop with a hidden side business do); one grave site that holds two of the nine graves; Ms. Hobbs's last list, which only appears after the story; the two New Austin gang hideouts; and Herbalist 9's New Austin herbs.

Best in the WestAchievement
Location
Anywhere – It pops as the last row ticks, followed by a short scene and a new journal entry.
Summary
Reach 100% in Progress > Total Completion; gold medals don't count toward it.

Appendix: Red Dead Online

Red Dead Online's 17 trophies and the PlayStation Platinum, each with what makes it pop. They don't touch the story save, but the Platinum needs them all.
Online is separate from your story save

Online trophies don't touch your story save, and nothing here is missable: Online is still running and none of the 17 is known to be out of reach. The Platinum needs every one. Tips date from Online's launch, so prices and menus may differ now.

All 52 PlayStation trophies and the section that holds each. Steam and Xbox have the same list without the Platinum.

About this guide

Expect a long open-world game rather than a hard one: there is no difficulty setting, and most of the time goes into hunting every species, collecting across the whole map and earning gold medals. The Platinum also needs a stretch of Red Dead Online.
