Keep in mind that quite a lot of documents are missing in that list.

Pearson's rabbit request can't be done in chapter 4 as far as I know. I've been playing mainly on my chapter 4 save and never got this request. Too bad, because the jacket actually looks cool and is unique.

So, what has been added ever since I last posted in this thread?

I don't think you've got this in your list.

I don’t see the Old Brass Compass and the Ravens Claw Talisman it’s used to craft in the list (already long so apologies if I’ve missed it).

 

You have to go back into Sinclair’s cabin immediately after Geology for Beginners II and get it - if you got away it will lock and you’ll miss the opportunity to collect it.

Hello. One thing missing: 'Native American Ring'. It can only be obtained during the random encounter during the night hours - a stranger asks you to join him at camp and asks for Whiskey, then talks about Fort Riggs. When he falls asleep, you can loot him for this ring. If you *don't* loot him, you miss out on this item forever, since this event does not repeat.

This part, too.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the list.

Just one thing: The Bank Robbery Mission in Chapter IV (High and Low Finance) is not from Uncle but from Charles and it is NOT missable.

 

I couldn’t trigger it on late Chapter IV and tried everything for hours but it didn’t work. Charles was not in my camp and never came back for the last 3 Missions

 

So I moved on and in Chapter V I could suddenly start the Mission in the progress Section even though I never started it ingame.

I got gold first try on replay.

[JD Style 2]

I have an object that only 5% of the players have !!  

 

in chapter 3 during the mission that Leopold Strauss gives us “Money Lending and other sins lV” we obtain the object “Diamond Brooch” which we are supposed to donate to the band.  but it is not mandatory, you can keep it !!  and it does not affect the story or your departure, I have that object right now with John Marston.  It is a super missable object!.

• Classic Raccoon Mountain Hat (mountain man inside Valentine's saloon, appears mostly at night, has many but limited encounters)

• Newsboy Flat Cap (Chapter II mission "The Sheep and the Goats", worn by Cornwall's men)

• Fisherman's Hat (Legendary fish mission strand, either by blowing up the fisherman with a dynamite before starting his strand or at the final mission when he gets pulled into the water and leaves the hat)

Trinkets/Talismans:

• Lion's Paw Trinket (Stranger mission "He's British, of Course IV" - make sure to collect the trophy (paw) once you kill the lion)

• Ravens Claw Talisman - if you don't get into Sinclair's cabin immediately after "Geology for Beginners II" and get the Old Brass Compass (an item used to craft it), you'll miss the opportunity to collect it.

 

Animals:

• Carolina Parakeet (Not available upon completion of chapter VI, along with a special "task" for killing 25 of them)

• Scarlet Macaw (Chapter V Guarma animal)

P.S. Fer-de-Lance snake spawns on the main map in Stillwater Creek

 

Horses

• Buell [unique coated Cremello Gold Dutch Warmblood] (Will be gone if you complete "The Veteran - IV" before the epilogue)

 

Items and others:

• Jimmy's Pen (Chapter II mission Polite Society, Valentine Style, only if you spare him)

• Jack's Drawing (Thimble request from Jack in chapter II)

• Antique Watch (Chapter II, Money Lending and Other Sins II, from the Polish guy named Wrobel, you have to open the drawer with the watch, take other things until debt is paid, then run away a bit to the point where Wrobel is despawned, then come back and get it)

• Golden Shield (Chapter III mission "Blood Fueds, Ancient and Modern" inside the manor on the fireplace) 

• Braithwaite Brooch (Catherine Braithwaite's corpse after chapter III mission "Blood Fueds, Ancient and Modern")

• Electric Chair Blueprint (Professor Bell's corpse after "The Mercies of Knowledge - VIII", missed if you don't loot him, available from Chapter IV and onwards) 

• Giant Boar Tusk (Missed if you don't take the trophy from the giant boar after "The Vetaran - IV")

• Diamond Brooch - In chapter III during the mission “Money Lending and other sins lV” they will give you this object to donate to the band (Donation is not mandatory, you can keep it) and it is a unique object that you can have even with John  Marston.

 

Now, I've considered some other requests and tasks and I've been thinking for quite a while, but some of them don't really give you anything special or out of the order, nor is there any "proof" if you ever having completed it, I didn't bother listing it. I guess same goes to some missions as well. I'll add the requests anyway later on. I also didn't count special items like the meteor or viking comb or Dutch's wanted poster because they can all technically be collected at any time, and only lost if you sell them. 

What else have I missed?

Have you tried not giving back the debt? Will it cause issues in later chapters, like not offering any new Strauss missons?

 

EDIT: Okay, so I kept the brooch by not giving back the debt to the ledger. Didn't seem to cause any issues with later Strauss missions. The important thing is that you must not give back the debt in later stages of the game too (chapter IV, chapter VI).

My current list that I've been keeping is a bit incomplete, unfortunately, but so far I know of these:

 

An American Eden - ch2 camp

Bennet Brothers Newspaper Scrap - NPCs around Roanoke Ridge

Faded Letter - swamp near Saint Denis

Norwegian Journal - Manzanita Post

Norwegian Photo - same

Norwegian Newspaper (Scrap? maybe) - same

Panoramic Map - self-explanatory

Sketched Map - same

 

I guess some of the new events added with the PC version, including (but not limited to) the 2 new treasure hunts with their maps, should also add some new docs.

I'm planning to return to my own 'real 100% walkthrough' soonish, so if you find anything else too, please do share!

Thanks for these! I have all those except the norwegian stuff: not there yet in the story!

 

As for American Eden, it's not really obtainable, you cannot save it to your inventory, right? Just like all other books, letters and newspaper scraps in the camp.

 

I do have one that is missing from the guide and it's the Liability Agreement you get after completing Wisdom of the Elders stranger mission. It is on the table together with the money.

Yep, this is just a 'book', but I noted it for consistency sake, since the documents list in the guide lists all other 'books' as well, including all of the camp books. Thanks for the Liability Agreement tip, gonna add that!

[Dudu RDRII 670]

There is at least one book in camp that you can keep for yourself, it's on the top of Strauss' table during Chapter IV: Shady Belle.

Oh this isn't 'my' guide, I mean the official huge guidebook. There's a big list of documents with just some of them missing. I've been adding the missing entries with a pencil at the bottom of the page to keep the list 'complete'. I think the guide could be found online in from of PDF, also the mobile companion app has an in-app purchase available for the PDF version as well.

Usually bounty hunters have it so either that or Heartlands near Emerald Ranch.

[olivier8472 48]

Has anyone received letters from Pearson or Tilly after or during the epilogue ?

[Kubigz 483]

I did not. I don't think you get any letters, you can only meet them once (except Pearson as he's owner of the shop in Rhodes.

If one was seen and killed until end of Chapter VI, they will spawn in Epiloque. The task is also still valid in Epiloque.
