The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I did the "mission" where you take the boy fishing. For some reason, it kept telling me "The fishing rod cannot be equipped here." I moved all around, moved over by my horse, nothing. I closed out of the game, and reloaded it. Did the mission again, and it worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it was tied into them, but I have no idea what actually happened. I was fishing for the legendary in there and when I left, my horse was suddenly spooked by something and a strange single mysterious note played. Arthur said something like "...was that", but when I looked around, I didn't see anything. It was super foggy too, so it's very possible I just missed something. Oh, and I bagged the legendary jaguar yesterday. That was a serious pain in the ass. Damn thing must have killed me at least ten times without even getting a single shot off. Somehow I actually managed to sneak up on it the last time. I wasn't messing around at that point, so I blew it's head off with the only explosive rifle round I had. I enjoyed seeing that headless jaguar on the back of my horse as I took it to the trapper. Did you end up catching the legendary fish in the swamp? If so, any tips? I’ve tried 3 or 4 separate times now and just kept catching lake sturgeon. I use the special swamp lure and have tried standing in a few different spots, and even tried taking that little rowboat out. This is the first legendary fish I’ve had trouble catching. The other 8 I’ve vaught I had no problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if even a single gator in the water somewhere may mess with your chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was riding through the swamp and my horse freaked and threw me off, pretty much right into the open jaws of a gator. My response: "This game has gators?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here - https://www.usgamer.net/articles/01-02-2019-red-dead-redemption-2-hunting-animals-list-selling-pelts-tracking/legendary-buck-pelt Go there and hunt/kill the legendary buck if you haven’t already. Tip - keep turning your deadeye on and then watch the mini map, when looking for the animal clues question mark to start the hunt. You will see that question mark (to start the hunt) you are looking for pop up on the mini map. Then go to the fence and have the Buck antler trinket made. It makes it way easier to get a perfect pelt when hunting animals. As long as you use the right weapon, you usually always get a perfect pelt (even from the 2 star animals sometimes). Here are some badger locations and tips (it says hunt at night) - https://www.polygon.com/red-dead-redemption-2-guide/2018/11/6/18069228/badger-perfect-pelt-map-location heres another couple locations if that one doesn’t work - https://rankedboost.com/red-dead-redemption-2/badger/ https://www.ign.com/wikis/red-dead-redemption-2/Badger_Location_and_Perfect_Pelt_Hunting_Guide Edited February 10, 2019 by BillsFan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an oil rig east of Valentine. I setup a camp there and then wondered around for a while. Badgers show up constantly, you just have to wait for a pristine one. 16 hours ago, /dev/null said: the only time i have been poisoned by a snake was one I was chasing. they tend to slither away They're fast as hell too. Anytime my horse gets freaked out by a snake, I immediately jump off and try to kill it. I wind up following the trail for a while before actually get to it. Yesterday was the first time I actually ran into a rattlesnake actually acting like a rattlesnake. I walked towards some herbs to pick them but then the rattle went off. That's probably the first time I ever bumped into one while on foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Between getting lost in the game, and our baby being born, I totally forgot I even made this thread. Glad to see you guys keeping it going strong. Where to even begin since Day 1... Once again R* really knocked it out of the park with an amazing immersive game with a ton of depth and detail. I've been regularly browsing the reddeadmysteries subreddit and am blown away with the amount of seemingly small details that can be spun into entire story lines. I havent combed through all 12 pages here yet, but in case no one has posted it, check out rdr2map.com as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great time blowing them up, lassoing them and hanging them off of cliffs and bridges, and finding other great torture methods for them. My favorite was when the giant burning cross fell and crushed a bunch of them. Lot of laughs. Well deserved. 12 minutes ago, shrader said: I'm just about ready to see if the same thing happens if you take out that guy searching for Gavin. You dont get honor, but be sure to loot him in order to get a clue as to who/where Gavin is. Edited February 11, 2019 by DrDawkinstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
