I saw a note in another thread a while ago that there may be an armadillo spawn point near Caliga Hall. If I remember correctly it like that if you carry an armadillo carcass there then it will be marked on the map as spawn point. Now, I never tried this, but is this real? Is there an armadillo spawn point there?

 

There's a map icon north of the "LI" in "CALIGA HALL", but that doesn't inherently mean there's a spawn point there. I've never seen one outside of Cholla Springs or Rio Bravo. Same thing for Californian owls. There's a Californian icon under 'B' in "STRAWBERRY" but I've never come across a Californian north of the Upper Montana.

 

Eh... who knows? There may very well be a spawn somewhere west of Prinz & Co. Probably is, but it's just dodgy as all hell like most of the moose spawns.

 

Additional note: maybe just a fluke/glitch, but I killed a desert ram in a group with three other rocky rams west of Bear Claw.

[ViktorFekete]

Got good news. Found the cougar south to Rathskeller Fork. If I find out how can I access to the photos I made, I will share them here.

[subvod]

New archive up. Release notes are in the description.

 

Always been curious about these "strangers" that ambush me. No, not Night Folk. I've kept the screenshots of the locations but haven't marked them on the map. They don't look like any axis gang, they just look like regular NPCs. They're mostly in O'Driscoll territory, but iirc I've seen them north of Bluewater Marsh as well (and they're damn well not Raiders). I've been ambushed by strangers post-story, well after Epilogue II. Maybe just random robbers, idk. Nonetheless, I've left them out for now.

 

Night Folk locations have been added. All blips are now hollow circles instead of solid ones.

[subvod]

New archive is up. A few mixed bag locations here and there. Noted alternative locations for panthers at the existing spots. I think now all gang random encounters are marked. This has been very troublesome, but damn I love this game. Some day I will get bored of this as is typical, and boy what a sad day that will be. But, for now, I'll continue to enjoy hunting with just a small dot reticle and a pair of headphones.

 

Side note, I never knew there was a special holster animation when double-tapping RB. Now I'm doing it every time I can. Thanks for the reference link, Cutter.

[subvod]

All maps cropped appropriately. New plant maps. Working on Ginseng. A few new Gila Monster locations. No new Owls in New Austin.

 

Came across the O'Driscolls at Smithfields glitch yesterday. Added to RivalGangs map.

I have a lot of hours in this game, but I have never, ever saw a moose in Owanjila, not in the lake, and not in the area either. Day and night, rain or sun, never.

 

 

[subvod]

Got a few new owl locations up, along with a few gang encounter locations. Also added a map for ox, bull, and roosters.

That encounter is prone to yielding two stars. The only spawns I know of, as of right now, which reset constantly are the second 'L' in "TALL TREES" and both out of bounds spawns up in Grizzlies East (one cow moose, the other for bulls). Those are easy to run away from and back to. The OOB spawns west of Calumet Ravine are way more reliable than the one in Tall Trees, though. Lots more stuff to affect the spawns going on down south, such as Skinner camps.

 

Other than that, you found any new spawn for cougars down in New Austin? I've still only run across the one you mentioned around western Cholla Springs. Still have only popped it during the daytime, but the other farther south still has only popped at nighttime.

No, nothing new. Is it popping right after you log into the game? I tried a few times that I exit, and when I log in I spawn around there and there is always a cougar.

 

However I finally had the chance to find the panther in Lagras. Turns out that it is a really good and easy spot.

I've not been able to get a cougar to spawn there by reloading. Also have yet to find one there at night. So far, I've run across only two in that area. But, the spawn farther southwest still works 90% of the time when approached at night.

 

Good to hear you found the panther. Only thing that affects the spawn are random encounters with Night Folk and a random NPC campsite not far from the water. Other than that, it appears to be a nighttime only spawn. Where as the spot south of Old Harry Fen is 24 hours.

I'm a moron who's been trying to figure out both github and this amazing map thing you've created, but I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I download the zipped file, extract to a folder, but the jpgs are empty. Anyway, fantastic work you've put in. I've been reading the notes and wow!

 

edit: nevermind I looked away from the screen and somehow the jpgs work now, idk why.

 

edit 2: I've got 2 questions, hope nobody minds.

 

Are the enemy dots on the map (hollow red and hollow blue) all there in both story and epilogue? Or are some only story and some only epilogue? A couple of those stretches I feel I've passed a million times and never gotten enemy campsite/random enemy encounter. Unless it also means hostile camper / one-time events that I completely forgot about.

 

For example there's two red hollow circles around Diablo Ridge. I've foraged there way too many times and never met anyone except hostile campers (in epilogue).

 

Question two: Are the random enemy encounters a mix of both "one time only" encounters and "repeat encounters" ?

 

Last note: Has anyone else been "highway robbed" (or there was an attempt atleast) on the northern trail? I don't remember exactly where but I believe it was somewhere around Granite Pass and Cotorra Springs OR between Donner Falls and The Lab. I was coming from the west, and three randoms jumped out from a curve in the trail and tried to rob me (very similar to the roofed bridge robbery). I don't think I have video of it, but I remember having trees on both sides of me when I left (I remember because a bird flew into my face lol)

I'll address the question in the same order you've presented them.

 

I did not mark locations of ambushes involving random robber NPCs. (The ones that show up as all "Stranger" rather than main gangs like "Lemoyne Raider", "O'Driscoll", "Laramie", "Murphy Brood", "Del Lobo", etc.) If by "hostile camper" you mean random loner-esque NPCs, none of them are affiliated with gangs which rival the player. All hollow red circles on the "rival gangs" map are actual rival gang camps.

 

Rival gang encounter random events, whether unique (so called one-time) or otherwise, are labelled in blue. I have not made notes of those which are unique (one-time). A lot of the hollow blue circles marking random events are mosty unique, again as in they only happen once.

 

As for the last inquiry, like I said earlier I do not consider the random "highway robber" events to be affiliated with rival gangs. All hollow blue circles on the gang map are random encounters, whether it be ambushes or otherwise, where any of the six existing rival gangs (shown in the compendium) are involved. For details on events involving NPCs not affiliated with rival gangs, check the RDR2 fandom's random events page. You'll have tons to skim through, but much of what goes on in-game is presented with a decent amount of detail on the Wiki-Fandom.

Thanks for the additional info! Doing the Lords work with all of this, it's super fascinating to see the maps presented with these spawn points on - I can only imagine the amount of work you've put in!

It's arduous, sure. But, I reckon it'll be well worth the effort in the long run. Even if not for myself as some sort of personal reference. Hopefully what I take note of cuts the time other spend looking for the same certain things I did in this game.

[TexasOdysseus]

OK, I'd be grateful for any pigeon locations. These little buggers have proven very difficult to find on both of my prior playthroughs. Thanks!

Perched atop the side railing of the Bard's Crossing bridge.

Perched atop the industrial buildings on the southwestern side of Saint Denis. Sometimes also perched on docked boats.

Perched atop the buildings nearest the water in Annesburg.

 

Both variants (Rock and Band Tailed) spawn at all locations. I've found a few pigeons in New Austin, before. Never made a note of where, though. Pigeons are like quail in this game. Highly localized.

 

[TexasOdysseus]

Thank you!! I have struggled with these damn things in almost all spawn points. Appreciate the help!

Idk if I'm remembering right, but the farthest southwest I'd found a pigeon was either atop the building on the water in Blackwater or atop the shack at Quaker's Cove. I do remember getting robins, seagulls, cranes, and pelicans at Quaker's. Nothing pigeon wise sticks out to me, so it was likely Blackwater.

 

As for the quail, the maps I've found online are fairly accurate. They're primarily northeast of Strawberry and southwest of Valentine, but can be found in pockets around Carmody Dell (Heartlands, NH).

[subvod]

New release. Got some stick drift on my XBS controller used for only a year, so map updates are getting difficult because I don't like playing keyboard RDR2.

 

https://github.com/subvod/rdr2-maps/releases/tag/2022.06.21

 

Now included Quail map. Still to add locations for Quail in New Austin.

 

Added locations for Ox, Bull, and Rooster in README.MD. Figured no map necessary as all are super localized to farms and what not.

 

Some new owl locations. Haven't added the static/flying spawns around Fort Riggs (per Edward RDRIII) as I have not come across them perched yet, but they are there:

Still have seen the moose by Wallace Station twice in a year of gameplay.

I believe that I have found a logical way to spawn the moose on a few locations, and have been documenting them.

I am planning to upload them on YouTube soon. One of the location is the one you mentioned at "Wallace Station". There are actually two of them. 1- By Dakota river south of station, 2- On the rock near station overlooking Dakota River.

I have done the same for the one in Lake Owenjila (with Wolf chasing the moose, and only the moose in the lake), Colter, and Willard's Rest. I have screen captures right now, but am not sure how to upload them here.

Upload them to something like https://imgur.com/ then use the "Insert image from URL" button in the bottom right corner of the post box. (Paste the image link.)

 

I've marked all locations I know of on the map in the archive, along with timestamps in the README.MD. If you've got some methods to get them to spawn, feel free to let me know and I'll add them in. You'll be credited with the methods.

 

For the ones you mentioned near Wallace Station, I do know there's actually three. Atop the cliff edge, but there's actually two down by the river on the east bank. One is cow moose only, the other is bulls only.

 

Speaking of moose, I did get the "chased by wolf" encounter to pop up at Calumet Ravine, finally.

[subvod]

I've added numerous quail locations since the last push. Found some in southeast Gaptooth and central Cholla Springs, as well as another spot on the Heartlands coast of Flat Iron and another right next to the southwest side of Emerald Ranch.

 

Owls still remain largely untouched, with a few new markers up in Grizzlies West. I've gotten the Californian six times total now at Fort Riggs. Unusually, I've not managed to get one at Lone Mule for several months now. Might be impatience on my part, but I doubt that's the case as I've found them there before (albeit as rare as Fort Riggs).

 

A few new cougar locations. Also found another two panther spawns at Macomb's.

 

No new moose locations. Go figure. I think I've mapped all of them at this point.

 

A few new Gila locations.

 

One new Timber Wolf location west of O'Creagh's.

 

Thinking of marking special/scoreless spawns for woodpeckers, robins, and other small birds. I have a hell of a time finding robins randomly, but I have a few scoreless/special spawns described in the README. For the time being, I'm marking only locations for scoreless spawns and woodpeckers pecking trees. (I know of three surefire Robin spawns, but they are quite far from one another.)

 

I also found a cougar that spawned sleeping on the roof of Manito Glade. I've only seen one there sleeping to the north of the front entrance inside the fence... up until now. It wasn't able to attack me as apparently they can't jump atop rocks or anything.

Have you found any new New Austin animal spawn in another state to be able to get them as Arthur easier? Such as the Californian Horned Owl in Fort Riggs, but something else like a condor or whatever.

To my knowledge, the Californian Horned Owl is the only New Austin animal I've found north of the Upper Montana. So far, I know of only three spawns: static perch on the cliff facing south overlooking the river at Fort Riggs, flying southbound over the river northwest of Fort Riggs, and northwest of Blackwater northbound. Curiously, the static perch spawns around there haven't given me any Californians... ever. There's a telephone pole east of Fort Riggs on the south side of the path nearest the river which has a static perch, as well as a static perch facing south atop a small cliff on the north side of the same path a little further down but before the first bridge (if coming from the junctions eastbound from Fort Riggs).

 

None of the other static perches northwards have spawned Californians, either. There's one in a tree north of the northernmost path running east/west towards the Upper Montana, as well as a static perch just below (southwest of) the Strawberry stable. Neither of those have given Cali's. And, I still haven't found a Californian Owl around Bluewater Marsh despite reading various claims others have found it there some years back. Same goes for any of the numerous spawns in Tall Trees. I started treating testing those claims as a lost cause almost a year ago.

 

If you count the Black Tailed Rattlesnake as a New Austin animal, it can be found sporadically along the north side of the Upper Montana from Lone Mule to west of Strawberry.

 

The Armadillo icon around Caliga Hall piqued my interest some weeks ago, but even several in game days of running around the entire plantation, day and night, turned up nothing but Skunks, Badgers, Raccoons, and Opossums. (Same animals common in Lemoyne, especially at Macomb's End.)

 

I have found Desert Rams northwest of Bear Claw, but since that's Tall Trees it may as well be New Austin since it's normally inaccessible until Epilogue.

 

No Gila, Desert Iguana, Condor, Sonoran/Baja Pronghorn, etc, anywhere north of the Upper Montana. Still seems the only way to get them early (legitimately) is to go OOB at the Cave Mouth (Devil's Cave) and travel just north of Cholla Springs' northern border... and hope for the best as you head westward.

 

For right now, I'm focused on Woodpecker spawns. Specifically, those which spawn pecking on tree trunks. I've found a few videos which have helped, but thus far only know of three spots. The easiest of which being the post to the right of the front door at Vetter's Echo.

 

The thing with Pileated Woodpeckers continues to baffle me. It's the only small bird I've never found perched anywhere. I don't clearly recall ever seeing one perched, nor can I find any pictures/videos of one perched in-game. After chasing a few which spawned in flying (several areas; the forests south of Rhodes, along the river north of Butcher Creek, southeast of Fort Wallace, across the river south of Stilt Shack, the center of Black Bone Forest, etc) it seems they never land and just continue to fly until they despawn. I have a vague memory of seeing one perched atop the wall at Fort Brennand, but that was shortly after I first began playing the game. Other than that, I've never seen one perched. That memory is so foggy though, so I may very well be misremembering.

Now that's a lot of knowledge about the game's spawn points alright, the only owls we can find in Bluewater Marsh are the Great Horned Owl and the Coastal Horned Owl, there's a californian spawn in Broken Tree though.

 

Wait, there are Black Tailed Rattlesnakes in Big Valley? I NEVER found them there at all.

That Cali spawn is the one I mentioned west of Blackwater. From what I've seen following it, there's two possible routes it could take: dead north towards Fort Riggs or northeast towards Lone Mule.

 

What amazes me about all the owls in Tall Trees is the fact that I've never seen a Cali in the forest. Not even at Bear Claw. The closest Cali spawns I know of nearest Tall Trees are over the Upper Montana southbound (east of Nekoti Rock) and atop Beecher's albeit very rare from my experience. I can almost always hear owl calls after sleeping until midnight at Beecher's, but I've ran around looking for it so many times to no avail that I think it's just a static call location. By that I mean it's just an audio track that's played at set coordinates on the map. There's a unique hoot owl call that plays all around Willard's Rest, as well as pigeon/dove calls at Van Horn Mansion.

 

The hoot owl call at Willard's is not a normal owl call, and none of the three owls in the game use it. Matter of fact there's a perch spawn atop Willard's, and as long as you don't spook the owl, you can hear two completely different owl calls at the same time. Same goes for the pigeon/dove calls at the Mansion. The same pigeon calls can be heard south of Strawberry around some flat rocks on the west side of Hawks Eye Creek. There aren't any pigeons around either to my knowledge. (Doves in the game would've been a nice deal. Could hunt Quail, Pheasant, and Doves all at once.)

 

There's also a unique wolf pack howling audio track which only plays in Tall Trees (seems to be atop the cliffs at Nekoti Rock). It's extra haunting too as IIRC it only plays shortly before midnight.

 

And yes, there are a few Black Tail spawns in southwestern Big Valley. One north of Fort Riggs on the west side of the path, and another a bit east just before the first bridge. I think I've also found one just west of Lone Mule, but that's mostly been regular Diamondbacks and Timber Rattlers.

[subvod]

Ported the project to Nexus today. Been adding a lot of Pileated Woodpecker locations recently. Few new cougar and owl locations as well.

 

Also finally found the covey of Quail by Downes Ranch which I haven't seen in over a year.

 

Cleaned up the README.MD. Lots more Easter eggs noted now, too.
