PHEW!. I expect its patched in Red Dead Online correct?

I know you can finish the Dinossaurs bones mission as Arthur if you collect the bones in New Austin, but can you finish the legendary fish quest and go catch the Legendary Channel Catfish as Arthur?

Been wondering this too. Surprised nobody else has mentioned it. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could finish this as Arthur as well.

It's like a desert. Yes they do. Although everybody in New Austin seems to be a hostile sh*thead, but its what I'd expect from people who live in a lawless untamed desert.

I'd almost given up and thought they patched it.  I've tried for the past 6hrs (mainly because I reinstalled without a net connection) and still couldn't get back in.  Now I just read you need to let the police see you in Chapter 4.  That's one thing I didn't deliberately try yet.  The ride from Van Horn to Blackwater is the last major thing I need to do for a Challenge.

 

I did notice some strange things when reinstalling to a vanilla version with saved games.  Several message popups reset themselves ("You can store horses in a stable").  It looks like the game also re-gave starting objects on top of my existing objects.  For example, I have two separate inventory entries for Horse Stimulant at the same level.  The strangest thing was when replaying missions.  Normally when you replay it picks a default Arthur and loadout.  Or so I thought... it does pick weapons you have and their upgrades.  Not the costumes though.  When I reinstalled, despite being a Chapter 4 save, the replayable Arthur only had his starting pistol and nothing else.

New Austin was definitely meant to be explored by Arthur at one point.

 

I was in Armadillo speaking to some of the NPC’s and he commented on how disease ridden the place is.

Was it though? I heard somewhere that the clear bounty cheat affects WE and NA.  If this is the case, it makes sense that rockstar gave Arthur lines in case players did get to that area. It also explains why he has a cut scene and dialogue before completing the dinosaur bone mission. Yeah, you can’t save, but they might have added those scenes and dialogue for players that did use the cheat to access the area, and avoid issues.

Their are ways to do it done it accidentally as Arthur once

You CAN save in New Austin...but as soon as you reload the invisible sniper shoots you until you die no matter where you are in New Austin.

I've mailed all legendary fish and I'm still waiting for the reward the game told me to look out for. HOWEVER the smallmouth bass isn't crossed off on the map despite being caught and posted if that makes any difference?

@Darealbandicoot I’m talking about how you can’t save when you use cheats - to clear the bounty and gain access.

Apparently the last legendary fish mission won't trigger with Arthur.

I have a feeling Arthur has lines recorded for it for some reason

Hmm I wish, I'm still in chapter 4 but I heard this mission unlocks after or during the epilogues. I would like if it unlock somewhere in chapter 6.

What is the Clear Bounty cheat? I couldn't find it. Decrease Wanted Level does NOT work

Be sure to read the invite letter you should've received in your satchel.  I waited for several (real) days to see a blip on the map then realized I never read the letter to kick it off.

I've gotten an invite letter from the dinosaur lady but nothing from Jeremy about fishing. It just says in the tasks menu that the mission will continue at a later time.

Enter " You Want Everyone to go away " to activate it

I had this same problem with the Rock Hunter a couple weeks ago.  Thought it might be a bug or gated by some mission.  I went back to an older save (for different reasons) and when I re-completed the Rock thing, that's when I realized the letter I had to read to activate.  So it could be I did have a bug and you're encountering it now.  I'm guessing you've already gone to the post office to check for any new mail.  Or... hmm, I think the Fishing guy won't work unless you're with John?

Just tested. The clear bounty cheat doesn't work for Blackwater or New Austin. Still wanted dead or alive 

[cp1dell 2,546]

@Darealbandicoot Well then, that makes it even stranger that Arthur functions in NE - other than being able to finish the legendary fish mission unfortunately.

[TheJesus1996 1,552]

Good times 😍

[volta2001 734]

I take it there’s still no way to do this? Any possible way to get all legendaries as Arthur? At this point just open it up for the story mode diehards come on r* John sucks

You can still do it if you install the disc version of the game offline and play on 1.00.

Thanks. Unfortunately my disc drive is on the fritz and I don’t want to risk taking the play disc out. Had a hard enough time getting the ps4 to accept the disc. Guess I’ll wait till ps5

What a bummer to finally realize in my 2nd playthrough in chapter 4 this was a glitch and it was patched.  And you cant pick 6 stupid herbs as Arthur..to complete all 90 challenges.   I played through the story and was deteremined to complete everything I could before being forced to become John. 

 

Spoiler

I hate John...all of the whining about being left for dead by his gang after getting caught several times...having to be constantly rescued even requiring his son to be rescued.  Hell, I would have probably just picked up from where I was and not even done most of challenges with Arthur, would have done the camponions and honor missions I missed as fast I could.

 

Dutch saving his life multiple times and Bill even leaving him alive so Bonnie can repair him.  What a loser...Dutch even warns him there is no way out which in turn causes his son to become a murderor...selfish piece of [email protected]$$ should have chosen prison like a man.  John should have rode to the nearest federal law enforcement agency and been like hey, this agent kidnapped my family, but I am turning myself in so he also gets the long d of law as well.

 

Arthur's decision to allow John to live and save his family all ruined and for nothing in the end because John is a simple minded idiot.  Really dont like him and the fact that the R* makes us play as him is proof that they know alot of people will dislike him in the end and another troll.

There is still a way to get it...but its a grind.  Sorry I thought you were talking about the legend of the east outfit.  There is no way to hunt the animals or fish.  But I did get the outfit as Arthur.
