These 16 Legendary Beasts are generally larger and tougher than non-Legendary Beasts, so a little preparation helps. However, it's important to note that both the quality of the kill and the weapon used are unimportant for Legendary Pets. That means you can use something powerful with good range (and range) for anything.

There are a few other things you can do to ensure your search is successful:

• Charge Dead Eye Tonic. Once you reach Dead Eye level 4, Dead Eye will highlight the weak points, usually the head, heart and lungs of animals, making it easier to eliminate them with fewer shots. Do we likeO Kautababecause you will loot it constantly.
• watch the hunter. Some of the legendary animals fall into the massive size category, meaning their fur will take up your horse's entire torso. That means you have to run to the hunter to drop them off before reaching the next one. He is permanently based in Saint Denis, but there are a few other places he will appear on the field. (Look for the paw icon to find it.) Keep an eye on where you are so you don't waste too much time going in an unnecessary direction.
• Lost pieces automatically go to the hunter. Any part of a legendary animal that you are unable to pick up due to space constraints (upgrade your backpack while hunting) or lose is automatically sent to the hunter. We haven't tested its limits, so we can't recommend trust, but it's a good safety net.
• Use o rifle Rolling Block. After completing the "Pour Oil" missions in Chapter 2, get the Rolling Block Rifle from a Gunsmith. It's a sniper rifle with a lot of power behind it, so it will kill most legendary beasts in one shot.
• use special ammo. Since the quality of the skin does not matter, it makes sense to use the ammo packs with the highest penetration. we likeexpress ammo.

When you reach the location of a legendary animal, you will receive a notice in the upper left corner of the screen. From there, the process is similar to fetching anything else, and it might be a little easier.

The first step is to find them. You receive a placemat for a Hosea roadside diner when you complete "Haunted Out by a Bruised Ego" in Chapter 2, but it's far from detailed. It's enough to get close, but you'll have much better luck using our maps below. Hosea's card is in your school bag under the "Documents" tab, so look for itlettersand choose thelegendary animals card.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

Once you're in the correct area, you'll get this prompt on your HUD that says:

You have entered the territory of legendary animals. Hunt this legendary animal by finding and investigating clues.

Activate your eagle eye and hopefully you'll see a cloud of yellow particles highlighting a clue. You may also see a small white question mark on your radar and graph. Examine this track and you'll get a highlighted path for a second and then a third. After the third one, the path will lead you directly to the legendary animal.

When you get the alert on your HUD, it's usually directly over where Arthur draws the animal on your map, but not always. If you think you're in the right place but you can't see the runway, walk around a bit. The symbols Arthur draws aren't always exactly placed, so you can't rely on them. Make some curved loops around the symbol and keep an eye out for the question mark on your radar (and use our graphics below).

Of the 16 legendary animals, 11 are easily accessible at the start of the game. Three more are in a hidden area of ​​the map, another is tied to a story quest in Chapter 4, and the last requires you to reach Rank 9 of the Master Hunter challenge.

We'll break them down by state below, roughly in the order you'll find them.

Legendary Animals of New Hanover

Legendary Animals of Ambarino

There are five legendary animals in Ambarino. We'll include two maps below, one zoomed in and the other zoomed in, to make it easier for you to find us.

This is the bear you chase with Hosea during "Chased Exit by a Bruised Ego" in Chapter 2. You don't have to kill him immediately after this quest and can come back to this hunt later.

You can find the legendary Bharati Grizzly Bear northwest of O'Creagh's Run, a little southwest of the O in Ambarino on your map.

Legendary Beasts of West Elizabeth

There is only one legendary animal in West Elizabeth. We'll include two maps below, one zoomed in and the other zoomed in, to make your search easier.

legendary dollar

The Legendary Buck is located on the west end of West Elizabeth, northwest of Strawberry, midway between Lake Owanjila and the W in West Elizabeth.

Legendary Animals of Lemoyne

There are five legendary animals in Lemoyne. We'll include two maps below, one zoomed in and the other zoomed in, to make it easier for you to find us. However, two of them are fenced, so we'll include those details in their sections.

legendary coyote

Rockstar Games via Polygon

The Legendary Coyote is located at the north end of the Scarlett Meadows area of ​​Lemoyne. It hovers north-northeast of the second camp location and slightly south of the L in Lemoyne on your map.

legendary fox

The legendary fox is found in a small marshy area called Mattock Pond, north of Rhodes.

legendary wild boar

the legendary bullgator

You can't hunt the legendary Bullgator until the Country Pursuits quest in Chapter 4. You can find him northwest of Saint Denis in the swamps south of Lagras.

Legendary Jaguar Panther

This panther only appears once you reach level 9 in the Master Hunter Challenge and is easily the hardest hunt on the list.

It is located southeast of Rhodes, directly east of Braithwaite Manor and south of Bolger Blade.

The maps above show where to go. When you get there, but before you start looking for tracks, we recommend manually saving. The legendary Giaguaro Panther will approach you and probably kill you. Upon return, you will receive a message with the following content:

You have entered the Legendary Animal area, but it will take some time for the animal to return to the area.

You can either wait in-game (and it can take days) or you can set up camp, sleep as much as you can, manually save, exit Red Dead Redemption 2 and reload. It worked for us.

We had to hunt the legendary Giaguaro panther half a dozen more times before we killed it. Here's how you can do it without making our mistakes:

1. Follow the clues. Unlike the other legendary animals, the third and final clue doesn't lead you directly to the legendary Giaguaro Panther. Instead, you must follow a path up to a tree.
2. Take a dead eye stimulant such as chewing tobacco.
3. Follow the path that leads to the third trail and raise your weapon with L2/LT. (We used a shotgun that killed her with two triggers.)
4. After you hear the panther (you'll almost certainly hear it before you see it), press Square/X and press left or right on the left analog stick. It makes you dive. This way you can dodge his attack.
5. Click on the analog stick to open Dead Eye.
6. In Dead Eye, look for a small red circle on your radar. This is the panther.
7. Face the small red dot.
8. Shoot the panther as it runs away. (Don't worry about getting stuck. Just shoot.)

And this is how it looks:

Legendary pet clothing sets

After you've hunted down some legendary animals and delivered their pelts to the hunter, you'll be able to assemble eight stylish new outfits. These aren't the only outfits the hunter can craft for you, but we're focusing on the ones that require legendary animal skins.

Each of these outfits requires at least one of the legendary animals and a few other perfect skins. Since there is no shopping list mechanic in the game, we will be adding the necessary items below.

The deer antler trinket

The description of the Buck Antler trinket simply states that "the player will receive higher quality skinned animal parts". While that's exciting if you're looking for Perfect Pelts, it's also pretty vague.

Diedeer antler baubleit's not magic. Still, you'll never get perfect quality fur from a two-star animal, and you still won't get perfect fur from a squirrel you kill with dynamite. You still have to go through many of the same steps you normally do when looking for Perfect Pelts.

Buck Antler Trinket gives you a little leeway when killing a three-star animal. For example, if you kill a three-star deer with a less-than-perfect hit, say to the intestines instead of the head, this will usually result in a good pelt (two stars). The Buck Antler Trinket means you'll still be pulling a perfect pelt from this deer.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

There are three legendary animals in Ambarino. We'll include two maps below, one zoomed in and the other zoomed in, to make it easier for you to find us.

Legendary Tatanka Bison
