Is there some trick to getting a kill with Small Game arrows? I shot a turkey in the goddamn head and it bounced back up and ran off. I've only gotten one kill with these arrows, shooting a squirrel point blank. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I think the Turkey requires a different weapon. Maybe. Check the compendium. Also unlock that trinket that improves the animal rating. Sometimes a 2 star animal turns into a 3 star carcass if skinned. Very useful perk to have.

I always bean the Turkey in the noggin with a .22.  As in Meatworld Turkeys in-game are tough to kill.  Oh, there is one point where I had to ride across a looooong rope bridge-barely enough room for one person.  Had three Turkey's run onto it ahead of me and they would run to the other end then back towards me and turn around-you can shove them off the bridge but getting to the carcass might take more doing than it is worth as it's the same canyon the particular RR track runs over.

 

Not so sure on the Trinket myself-I've had it since mid-chpt2, finish game but it seems to not be doing a lot for me.

[DEALUX 2,400]

It does for skinning. A 2-star animal can sometimes turn into a 3-star pelt\skin.

So, I just got to do the Downes mission (I’m on my second save), as it was triggered on camp automatically.. so, anyone knows

the exact time/chapter/mission that Arthur starts to get sick and not get complete effects from medicine/etc?

 

thanks

It's shortly after if I recall correctly. The first cutscene where he starts coughing should be your clue.

I did not put 2x2 together right away.  Did that Mission and forgot about it.  Somewhere around Chpt3 I noticed Arthr coughing a bit more and kept seeing my screen flash either red or yellow for a split second with the background noise of something like a Cybal and Arthurs Health would drop-I would feed him and his Health kept dropping, even after eating a lot-that's when I realized he was sick and put two-and-two together along with some A-hole here titling a thread "ROCKSTAR HOW DARE YOU KILL ANOTHER MAIN PROTAGONIST!" was not hard to figure out.

Funnily enough I did not notice all of the things you listed except maybe for reduced effectiveness for the health items and food (like constantly losing weight for some f*cking reason), but as soon as I heard him cough in that first cutscene I went "oh, f*ck". I realized that in that time period a cough was actually deadly. No antibiotics means any bacteria can potentially kill you. And why the hell would they put a coughing gesture in a f*cking cutscene? Because the game is quite realistic so any tiny detail has some story behind it. I expected it to be TB since he's a smoker. Actually, I think I made the connection when that f*ck coughed on him. Really subtle foreshadowing, R*.

Guess I’ll stick around chapter 2 for a while then 

[Urban Legends 665]

My bounties in the first 3 counties are stuck at 300.00 a piece.. Seeing as any trouble I come across is instigated by others.. It seems important. 

 

Highest bounty? Limits? Why is mine stuck. I remember getting to 900 dollars once..

I am going to do my Play Save in Chpt 3.   It is a good Centralized location before issues start showing up.    Good spot with close hunting and fishing to upgrade the camp then go off into the world and do other stuff for the Trinkets and such.   Might even see if I can glitch to New Austin and all as, if one does so Arthur can do the stuff locked away for the Prologues and reports are people react and talk to him as if he was originally meant to go there.

 

I still have the same Save type with John in RDR! I play with-right before his endgame scene-let's me hunt and play poler or liars dice and such.

I assume the horse trick will spawn Hera eventually.  95% certain you can't stable it though. I know I managed to spawn a rare Dark Bay Roan mustang that I was unable to save. ("You cannot stable a gang horse")

You can visit his grave but I'm not sure if that is the exact spot or not-have to know where that spot actually is-I imagine someone has located it otherwise, during the fight scene with Micah one might have to remember to open the mapp and mentally mark it but I'm sure it is accesible.

There's one that spawns north of Saint Denis. You might have to save and load a few times but it does spawn there.

That was literally the only place I've ever found one, he was only two star. Guess I'll try again next time I'm over there

Is there any reason not to go into New Austin early?

 

Spoiler

Already finished the game and playing as John where NA opens up.  I know one can glitch there-sort of like glitching into Blackwater and Mexico with the first game-everything was basically accesible except Missions slated for later but one could get weapons and collect things otherwise.  Does glitching in as Arthur do anything that hampers him like no NPC's and such?

None of the businesses are open in Blackwater. You have to sneak around when in Tumbleweed. Also any law response you get anywhere down there will be overwhelmingly excessive,  so it's wisest to deal with all witnesses in a timely manner. Additionally you can't fast travel to any location down there, so anytime you come back (or die) you have to ride all the way back down there.

I just started a new game today, with all updates and patches. Can I still spawn the Missouri foxtrot term at the Saint denis stables? Or has this been patched?

I kind of screwed up and lost the legendary bear pelt, is there a way to get it again without starting the game over from a save prior to the bear hunt?

So I got to NA early as Arthur and caught all the legendary fish. Can I make the catfish trip down to NA with him?

check at the trapper after a day or two in game. If you skinned the legendary bear and lost the belt, it will automatically be at the trapper after a while. Happened me to me with the legendary moose, because I shot it while it was in deep water and couldnt get to it. Didnt even skin it, yet the pelt was at the trapper after a while.

I've only done four or five of the Legendary Animals myself but, so far, I managed to get exactly "1" to the Trapper-three disappeared when I was attacked and killed by Cougars, Bandits or Lemoyne Raiders.

 

One I simply tossed after figuring out it was going to show up anyway and there was a 3* Moose in front of me and I needed that pelt too.

Which mission progresses the camp from horseshoe overlook to Clemens point? 

 

I'm trying to decide which chapter to leave a save in so I can go back to the nostalgic days of a happy, full camp lol
