Legendary Animal hunting tips

These xvi Legendary Animals are more often than not bigger and tougher than non-Legendary animals, so a little preparation will assist. It's of import to note, though, that both kill quality and the weapon y'all use do non matter for Legendary Animals. This ways that you can use something overpowered with a practiced scope (and range) for everything.

There are a few other things you can do to brand sure your hunt is successful:

• Load upwards on Expressionless Heart tonics. Once you reach Dead Eye level iv, Dead Eye will highlight weak points — by and large the head, heart and lungs — on animals, making it easier to accept them down with fewer shots. Nosotros similar Chewing Tobacco because you'll boodle it constantly.
• Keep rail of the Trapper. A few of the Legendary Animals are in the massive size category, significant their pelt takes upwardly the entire trunk slot on your horse. That ways you'll have to run to the Trapper to drop them off before yous reach the next one. He'due south got his permanent stall in Saint Denis, simply at that place are a few other spots he'll pop up around the countryside. (Await for the icon with a manus to find him.) Keep track of where he is then you don't end upwards wasting a lot of time riding in an unnecessary direction.
• Lost parts automatically get to the Trapper. Any part of a Legendary Brute you tin't pick up due to space limitations (go upgrade your satchels while you're out hunting) or lose will get sent to the Trapper automatically. We didn't exam the limits of this, and so we tin can't recommend y'all rely on it, but it'southward a nice safety net.
• Utilise the Rolling Block Rifle. If yous've completed the "Pouring Along Oil" missions in Affiliate 2, pick up the Rolling Block Rifle from a Gunsmith. It'southward a sniper rifle with enough of oomph behind it, and so it volition take out the majority of the Legendary Animals with one shot.
• Utilize special ammo. Since pelt quality doesn't matter, it makes sense to use whatever ammo packs the most punch. We like the Express Ammo.

How to hunt Legendary Animals

When you arrive in a Legendary Animal's location, you'll get an alert in the top left corner of your screen. From in that location, the process is similar to hunting anything else — and it might exist a lilliputian easier, in fact.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

The first footstep is merely finding them. You'll get a roadside-diner-placemat-map from Hosea when yous complete "Exit Pursued past a Bruised Ego" during Affiliate 2, but it'due south far from detailed. It'southward enough to get you close, but yous'll have a lot more than luck if you use our maps below. Hosea'south map is in your Satchel under the Documents tab, then await for Maps and choose the Legendary Brute Map.

Legendary Animal clues will be marked with a xanthous cloud you can come across in Eagle Heart and a question marking icon on your radar.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

Once y'all're in the right area, yous'll get that alert on your HUD that reads:

You lot take entered Legendary Beast Territory. Chase this Legendary Fauna by finding and inspecting clues.

Trigger your Eagle Center, and you'll hopefully come across a yellow particle cloud highlighting a clue. Y'all might also see a small white question mark on your radar and map. Audit that clue, and you'll get a highlighted path to a second and then a tertiary. After the 3rd, the path volition lead yous straight to the Legendary Animal.

Generally, when y'all get the alert on your HUD, you'll be right over the spot where Arthur draws the animal on his map — but not always. If yous think you're in the correct place, merely y'all tin can't run into the clue, wander a little. The icons Arthur draws aren't e'er precisely placed, so you can't rely solely on that. Brand some sweeping loops effectually the icon and keep an center out for that question marker icon on your radar (and use our maps beneath).

Legendary Fauna locations

Of the 16 Legendary Animals, you lot'll exist able to easily get to 11 of them early in the game. 3 more are in a hidden expanse of the map, another is tied to a story mission in Chapter 4, and the final one requires you to reach the ninth rank of the Master Hunter challenge.

We'll break them downward by land — roughly the club in which you'll meet them — beneath.

New Hanover Legendary Animals

There are two Legendary Animals in New Hanover. Nosotros'll include ii maps below — 1 zoomed out and one zoomed in — for each to assistance you lot find them.

Legendary Beaver

You'll find the Legendary Beaver at a large beaver dam and lodge on the river just west of the Van Horn Trading Post and a petty south of the Elysian Puddle. (This is a great spot to chase for beaver in general.)

Legendary Moose

The Legendary Moose is in the far northeast corner of the map on the western shore of Roanoke Valley (and just east of the Doverhill Nikolai Tesla Easter egg).

Ambarino Legendary Animals

In that location are v Legendary Animals in Ambarino. Nosotros'll include two maps below — one zoomed out and one zoomed in — for each to help you observe them.

Legendary Bharati Grizzly Bear

This is the behave that you hunt with Hosea during "Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego" in Chapter 2. You don't take to kill it immediately later that mission and tin return to this hunt later.

You'll find the Legendary Bharati Grizzly Carry to the northwest of O'Creagh'south Run — it'south a piddling southwest from the O in Ambarino on your map.

Legendary White Bison

The Legendary White Bison is along the northern shore of Lake Isabella in the far w of Ambarino a trivial due west of the A on your map.

Legendary Bighorn Ram

The Legendary Bighorn Ram is across the Dakota River to the west of Valentine.

Legendary Wolf

The Legendary Wolf hangs out around the geyser well-nigh Cotorra Springs. You lot'll find information technology a little southwest of the Wapiti Indian Reservation (or the R in Ambarino on your map), a little west of Bacchus Station, and a little northwest of Fort Wallace.

Legendary Elk

The Legendary Elk is pretty close to the Legendary Wolf. Y'all'll find it to the east of Fort Wallace and south of Bacchus Station.

West Elizabeth Legendary Animals

There is only 1 Legendary Animal in Due west Elizabeth. Nosotros'll include two maps below — i zoomed out and one zoomed in — to assist you lot find it.

Legendary Cadet

The Legendary Buck is in the far western edge of West Elizabeth, northwest of Strawberry an virtually halfway between Owanjila lake and the W in West Elizabeth.

Lemoyne Legendary Animals

There are 5 Legendary Animals in Lemoyne. Nosotros'll include ii maps below — one zoomed out and ane zoomed in — for each to help you find them. Two of them are gated, though, then nosotros'll include those details in their sections.

Legendary Coyote

The Legendary Coyote is at the northern finish of the Scarlett Meadows area of Lemoyne. It hangs out to the north-northeast of the second camp location and a little due south of the Fifty in Lemoyne on your map.

Legendary Fox

The Legendary Fox is in a pocket-sized swampy expanse called Mattock Swimming just due north of Rhodes.

Legendary Boar

The Legendary Boar is on the northern edge of Bluewater Marsh about halfway between Saint Denis and the Van Horn Trading Post.

Legendary Bullgator

You won't exist able to hunt the Legendary Bullgator until the "Land Pursuits" mission during Affiliate iv. Yous'll find it northwest of Saint Denis in the swamps s of Lagras.

Legendary Giaguaro Panther

This panther won't appear until you take accomplished the ninth rank of the Master Hunter Claiming, and it'southward easily the most difficult hunt on the list.

It's located southeast of Rhodes, directly east of Braithwaite Manor and south of Bolger Bract.

The maps above will show y'all where to go. When you go there, but before you lot start looking for clues, we strongly propose making a manual save. The Legendary Giaguaro Panther volition sneak upward on y'all and likely kill you lot. When you lot return, you'll receive a message that says:

You take entered Legendary Animal Territory, but it will exist some fourth dimension before the animal returns to the area.

You lot can either wait information technology out in-game (and it could have days), or y'all can make a camp, sleep as long as you can, save manually, exit Red Expressionless Redemption 2 and reload. That worked for us.

We even so had to hunt the Legendary Giaguaro Panther half a dozen times before nosotros killed information technology. Here's how y'all tin do it without making our mistakes:

1. Follow the clues. Unlike the other Legendary Animals, the third and concluding clue won't point you directly at the Legendary Giaguaro Panther. Instead, yous'll demand to follow a path toward a tree.
2. Take a Dead Center stimulant, like chewing tobacco.
3. Follow the path leading away from the third inkling, holding your gun upwards with L2/LT. (We used a shotgun, which killed it with two trigger pulls.)
4. Equally soon as yous hear the panther (you'll about certainly hear it before you lot come across it), hit Square/10 and press left or correct on the left analog stick. This makes yous dive. This allows you to avoid its pounce.
5. Click the analog stick to invoke Dead Heart.
6. While y'all're in Dead Eye, await for a small scarlet circumvolve radar on your radar. That's the panther.
7. Turn toward the small cherry dot.
8. Shoot the panther as information technology runs away. (Don't worry about locking on. Just shoot it.)

And here'southward what that looks like:

Legendary Animal Garments Sets

In one case yous have hunted some Legendary Animals and turned in their pelts to the Trapper, you'll be able to brand yourself 8 fancy new outfits. These aren't the only outfits that the Trapper tin can brand you lot, but we're going to focus on the ones that require Legendary Animal pelts.

The Cadet Antler Trinket

The clarification of the Buck Antler Trinket just says that the "role player receives college quality skinned animate being parts." While that's exciting when yous're looking for Perfect Pelts, information technology's also really vague.

The Buck Antler Trinket isn't magic. You lot'll still never get a Perfect quality pelt from a two-star animal and you lot won't get a perfect pelt from a squirrel you impale with dynamite. You withal take to get through a lot of the aforementioned steps you normally do when seeking Perfect Pelts.

The Buck Antler Trinket means that yous'll nonetheless pull a Perfect Pelt off of that deer.
