 Did the game let you skin the horse?

Ive shot a few horses in gun fights but never had the option to skin them.  Haven't killed a wild horse yet.

 

One thing I want to try when I get around to hunting, is live bait.  Hogtie a small animal or an Odriscoll and leave it out for a predator.

 As long as it wasn't the white Arabian up north you should be alright. I've found a few spots with tons of wild horses running around. Supposedly you can catch and break them. Did the game let you skin the horse? LOL

 

Sadly you can't skin them or pick up the carcass.  I didn't even realize it was a horse until it wouldn't let me do anything.  Then I actually looked closer and said "oops, hope it wasn't mine".

I haven't even thought about lassoing any of the animals until now.  I'm going to have to do that.  I wish I had tried it with the giant turtle I nabbed yesterday, since that seems like a perfectly crazy image.

I was playing the very early mission the other day where you rob the train.  In the middle of the fire fight, I wound up failing the mission because "your horse has died".  That was kind of weird seeing as how the horse had absolutely nothing to do with the mission.  It was left behind at a place where you were forced to leave it as part of the mission.  I hope I don't run into that too often.

 

And speaking of horses, I was hunting some deer last night.  I followed them around for a while.  Then I took one out from a long distance with an arrow.  When I walked up to skin and collect it, apparently I had killed a random horse instead.  I hope that wasn't some secret rare horse that I can now never catch.

I think the mission was failed because you needed to get away in your horse and the end so it couldn’t die

One of the camp improvements is an upgraded tent for Arthur which opens up quick travel from the camp to the towns you have visited.  You can also take the train between towns and recover your horse at the stable.

 

When I look at the ledger it only shows tent upgrade for Dutch is that the one or does something have to be done to get one for Arthur?

Arthur's tent upgrade becomes available after you upgrade Dutch's tent

Thanks I got the horse but would still like the option for fast travel

Already learned that lesson

 

Had another similar run in later in Valentine but didn't follow

 

Was riding south of the Braithwaite estate when a damsel in distress flagged me down.  Then she pulled out a revolver and demanded my money.  So I blew her head off with my semi auto shotgun.  Two more red dots appeared, somebody screamed Holy S##t he killed ,<whatever her name > so I chased both down and killed them too and looted all three.

 

Had another run in  walking into the gun shop in saint Denis.  Black guy bumped into me and said in stereotypical voice "scuse me missa".  I lost some cash and he ran off.  I pursued on foot, lassod and hogtied him, and took all his money.  Then I whistled my horse, got on a few yards away, and galloped right over the guy.

Some guy and his wife reeled me in on a pig farm. Guy was huge and was kind of hinting that I could have my way with his sister/wife.  Got drunk and ended up in a ditch with a body on top of me and no money.

Yeah. I did that one too. Was awesome. You made the same move I did. Of course you accepted all the drinks and wanted to bang his wife. 

 

What you didn’t do it sounds like... is go back to the farm. Hunt down the guy and his wife/sister inside the house and kill them both. Then find the picture of their mother on the wall and investigate it. You will get all you money back and then some.

I am playing "Adventure."  Is this new game, that this thread is about, better?

 

I am having a hard time getting the black key away from the pesky bat.  Any advice?

 

 

And how do I beat the Red Dragon.  He's really a P.I.T.A! Here I am in his stomach for the 29th time! Dang it!

 

 

I'd really wish they'd make these games easier! I think I need a YouTube walk-thru.

If you lasso an animal (any), you can walk up to them and kill them clean to get a perfect pelt every time. Works on legendary animals as well as any of them in the wild.

The real secret is heading into the middle of the dark room and collecting the dot and bringing it back. You would receive the first “Golden Egg” ever in video game history. And you could win the OASIS for getting that. Split it with your 4 friends, the HIGH FIVE. And banish IOI for life. 

 

Oh crap... does this mean we can’t play on Tuesdays and Thursdays anymore?

I had a similar run in on the bayou.  Guy sitting on his porch noticed I was hungry and offered some food.  I walked inside, got knocked upside the head, and had a brief blackout animation that felt like something out of Deliverance where the guy told me I wasn't gonna get away.

 

Woke up and rode back.  Guy was on his porch and said You Again! then tried to run inside.  But one shot from my bolt action rifle stopped him in his tracks.  I put his corpse on the back of my horse and dropped him next to the swamp.   Grabbed my shotgun, blew his head off, and left him for the gators

You only get a perfect pelt if the animal is three stars. 

 

When you target or study an animal there will be one, two, or three stars next to the name.  This tells you the highest quality pelt you could receive (1 star for poor, 2 for good, 3 for perfect).   If you study the animal you will see what type of weapon and ammo is needed for the highest available pelt.  And then depending on the animal you have to hit a critical spot (which are marked via dead eye)

I'll have to try that out later today.  I'd imagine it's a bit tricky to get close enough to an animal to actually pull it off.  I'll even go as far as to test it out on a rat or something just for a moment of stupidity.

I stumbled onto a mission (a secret one I think?) behind the drug store in Valentine. 

Go behind the store. Peek in the window and a guy is there counting money at a table. The game notifies you that the mission is unlocked.

Go around to the front of the store and rob the store. Left trigger the guy and point a gun at him. 

He takes you to the back to let you in where the guy at the table was with the money.

Shite goes down as you eliminate them.

Take the cash. Open the wooden box on the table and it gives you a sweet Schofield Revolver!

Make sure to bring a stick of dynamite with you and blow the safe on the wall! More cash!!

Chest on the ground as well but can't remember what's in it but there is something there. 

Beware, you are going to have to shoot your way out of this mess you made.

Great fun!

Also, you should hitch your horse a bit of a distance away from the drugstore because once the lead starts flying your horse will be nowhere to be found. I left him at the opposite end of the street where they are constructing a new building. I just had to run to him after. They will pursue you on horseback.

I found that.  I just sat there and watched the guy counting money for like 5 minutes thinking something was going to happen.

 

Then I walked away

I found that mission too but didn't think to blow up the safe.  I'll keep that in mind later

 

There's a silimar mission in Rhodes that gets you a repeater.  

 

Ive helped some folks get out of bear traps or healed a snakebite.   Later I'd be in town and run into the guy sitting on a porch near the gunshop.  To show his gratitude he tells you to go to the gunshop and pick out anything and out it on his tab.  Picked up few free guns that way

Absolutely. But if you do it with a lasso and your hunting knife, you don't need the special ammo or dead eye to keep the 3 star pelts perfect (that's how I should have phrased it). It feels a little like a cheat, because once you get good at the lasso it becomes REAL easy to hunt.

Oh I went back alright. Semi auto shotgun to the wife/sister as I walked in the door and a couple slugs to the big guy as he came down the stairs. Took me a min to figure out where the money was. Was about to leave and the investigate thing popped up as I walked by. Safe behind the pic.

Heads up (with a minor spoiler) for anyone collecting pelts to upgrade your satchel and camp.  Pay attention to morale in camp as you follow the main story line

Parsons leaves camp at some point and you will no longer be able to turn in the pelts

Does anyone know a way to get toilet paper upgrades?  Every time I take a dump I have to use the scratchy single ply type.  It gave me roids and now my aim is off.  I tried to shoot the legendary epic golden bullfrog but at the last second had to scratch my ass.  The frog hopped away.  I've been looking for him ever since.

This is set in the old West.  There was no toilet paper.  Man up and just use a leaf

How well does the bait work for hunting?  I've been messing around with that portion of the game a bunch lately, but I'm dumb and just keep following them around endlessly.  I was chasing some elk around a pond the other day and when I got back to my horse, there was a bear slowly approaching it.  That was my first lesson about how if you shoot the thing too many times, you can't salvage anything from it.

I loved that mission. I was genuinely pissed off and knew my horse was still there that's how I knew where to go. I entered the house and she was there. I hesitated because I wanted to see what she would do. She said something and then started to come at me. Blew her away and then tracked hubby down and got him.!

Quickest , easiest way for a perfect pelt or 1 shot kill is to equip a rifle with a scope 

 

zoom in scope and go dead eye and just line up the head shot

 

1 shot 1 kill clean pelt
