What I like the most of your way of playing, in which I recognize my same style, is that essentially you just take time to do things. You do not run, you walk. You explore. You contemplate. You enjoy. You don’t waste time to just randomly shoot everybody for fun (?). Everyone can choose how to play his own game and I’m not here to judge, but your style meet the most of developers’ choices to me. Good job!
@@RockworthRDR2 You do you. If they don't like it theres other channels that do exactly what they are looking for just like your style is exactly what I for one prefer.
Best and only advice: do. not. rush. this. game. When you're driving a wagon, don't go full speed everywhere, but listen to the characters stories, take in the sights and sounds. When you walk somewhere, don't sprint, just walk and take in the sights and sounds, the NPC's going about their daily lifes.
I started playing this game for the first time ever last month. I’m barely on chapter 2 with 12% completion. I’ve already had Pearson craft all the satchels but the very last one. I’ve tamed my first wild horse, Arabian (Chestnut)
I’m doing everything I can to avoid the story while trying to craft all satchels and for the horseshoe to have all its pelts for my fellow outlaws. I will beat this game with 80%+ honor 2x and then play the game another 2x with low honor. I am aware of Arthur’s future, although I do not know fully of what happens to him. I literally do not know of anything else about this story other than Arthur’s death.
I’m trying to complete the master hunter challenge before I continue with the story. The funny thing is I don’t even know if that’s possible without even continuing the story. So there is that, lol. I’m literally 5 years late to this game and I’m living and loving every moment I play it because it’s literally 100% new to me. Thank you to my good friend Wenja, for buying me the ultimate edition while it was on sale from The PS store for 30 bucks 🙌
Yea bro I rushed my first playthrough, wish i hadn't. Now here I am on my 4th playthrough and taking my time on it and it's actually more immersive, like when im hunting I'll just walk around with a rifle in hand and my horse following me.
lmao dont worry abt ppl critisizing the lack of narration - if theyre really that pressed, youtube is wide and vast. theres plenty of other places they can find what they want. this style is nice and easy to enjoy. keep doing what you're doing!!
Grab the pump action at Chez Porter and go on to do Hosea's hunting trip right away. Not only do you unlock stables for storing horses (but more importantly changing saddles), but you also unlock legendary animals, killing which will help craft helpful trinkets. Also, with some sneakery, you can get Hosea's rolling block rifle in this mission, but it's a bit of a fiddly process. Also also, up top to the east of Annesburg, along the snaky coastline in the northeasternmost corner of the map, is a shipwreck with a lockbox with a sharktooth trinket, which speeds up horse bonding by 10%, which I found was extremely helpful, especially later on after your first horse race random encounter unlocks easier bonding while spurring. Also also also, there are spots where you can find fellers fishing. Shoot them and pick up their fishing rods for early access to fishing
yeah my latest playthrough I regret missing Hosea's rolling block, which delayed my sharpshooter challenge until ch3. Hosea mission also gives you horse brush and my favorite horse for Arthur, the Black Shire ( I grab Buell with John)
Yeah there’s 3 trinkets you can get that being one of them by looting boxes that I’ve found so far. Well one is a talisman so you have to decide which other you really want to use. But my favorite horse for Arthur is the American Standardbred, the brown one with the white stripe down it’s nose looks the most like his old Bodecia, and then I get the pure black American Standard as a pack horse to run with me. I love them both.
Chapter 2 is the best, before i do any missions i do the challenges,pamphlets, gold bars, free weapons, trinkets, and satchel upgrades, then go hunting legendary bear with hosea and then do all the other legendary animals.
My last play I stopped at chapter 6 and started over, I had missed so much of everything. Now that I've watched alot or Rockworths videos I'm starting again but from chapter8. I know how it all ends anyways so now I'll really enjoy the adventures. Thanks Rockworth 😊
I played story mode 10 times and this is what I think is the best: 1.) At start of chapter II go to Valentine and talk to writer of the book of Jim Boy Calloway. 2.) Do mission with fight in Saloon 3.) Do mission of hunting with Hosea. 3.) Go near lake Isobella and sleep until morning. 4,) In the morning get white Arabian horse near lake Isobella. 5.) Not far away is Cobalt Petrified wood, you will need it. 6.) Go to Cairn lake and kill Flaco Hernandez. 7.) In cabin there is a map. 8.) Go to burned town and take gold bar. 9.) Find 4 gold bar from Flaco`s map. 10.) Go to Rhodes and find gypsy camp to sell 5 gold bars. 11.) Upgrade camp to the max. Buy upgraded belt and holsters. 12.) Hunt to make Legend of the East satchel...
One of best starter guides I have seen for RDR2. Great series of videos. Working on my second playthrough and definitely picking up on things that I missed the first time thru. Chapter 2 is so great! I didnt realise the donkey was so fast!
I started another new playthrough just a couple weeks ago and am still in chapter 2. I've been doing a bunch of the side stuff like getting the legends of the east satchel and a bunch of challenges. This video help me secure even more bank than I currently have and got me 3 guns I've been wanting. Thank you kind sir
Yeah I’m still on chapter two, collecting and trying new things out. Totally forgot about gold bars since I haven’t played in years. Having fun and not going to free Micah, f!*# that guy.
Just got back into RDR2 and happened to find your channel. Love the content. Haven’t found any other RDR2 channels that make anything like you. Your guides capture this game perfectly and I love the fact you include random encounters.
Thanks for watching partner. Check out my 100% playthrough series: ruclips.net/p/PL5F3_UYQ6mv_GhwYHsrYB1IOaEy-Zd1Io&si=dNwzyXoRdnVMNQuO I premiere the episodes LIVE.
I remember there is a Treasure Hunt that starts with obelisk far West. It guides around various POI locations, ending on top of a mountain and rewarding with 6 Gold Bars (3000$). You should probably try and get trinkets and talisman parts too, as trinkets will take effect immediately after finding and talismans need one special part to unlock (+ legendary animal part + random loot). I will also mention that in the waterfall where you can find Nevada Hat the fish can sometimes fall onto the rocks and you can pick them up. They can be a great passive way of generating food for the camp and they will always be 3 star. Also, it's good to start the challenges as soon as possible, since they reward the players with money, experience and reinforced equipment, that expands the outer core of either health, stamina or dead eye (only a full set does that, you only need to own it, no need to equip it). From what I know, you can complete these as soon as Chapter 2 beginning: - Explorer, - Herbalist (using bugs to get to New Austin), - Horseman, - Weapons Expert. With the rest, you will either have to unlock them later or some of the challenges will be unable to complete until later notice: - Banditry (Rank 6 require Horse Fence, unlocked in Chapter 3), - Gambler (requires 'Who is Without Sin' to unlock Poker), - Master Hunter (Rank 10 requires 'Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego' for Giaguaro's clues to spawn), - Sharpshooter (Rank 6 requires long-scope rifle, unlocked in 'The Sheep and the Goats' unless obtained earlier via bugs), - Survivalist (requires 'A Fisher of Men' to unlock Fishing Rod, can obtain the rod earlier from random NPCs fishing however Bluegills may not count until AFTER completion of the mission). Completing 1 challenge strand of health, stamina or dead eye (and buying the reinforced equipment) will upgrade the outer core by 1 level. Completing the next 2 will upgrade by another level, resulting in maximum 10 level of health, stamina or dead eye. (and yes, with glitches, you can complete every challenge as Arthur, but only until after reaching Chapter 3)
@@ianparrish6543 you can endlessly avoid yellow missions (Story missions), however there will be very little stuff unlocked. There are only a few challenge trees that you can complete fully before completing any mission in Chapter 2.
Played about 7 story mode play-throughs. This is by far the best way to get a strong start without giving up the story plot, have weapons, guns, and cash. Thanks for your time and effort on this video. You gained a sub from me.I'll check out your other vids. Good job!
Wow, what an absolutely great guide! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this. Terrific editing, too! Not only very useful, but also really enjoyable to watch. I'm a total newbie to the RDR2 universe, and your guide just saved me. Thank you sir. You have a new subscriber in me.
2:10 always close loot boxes and drawers and cupboards after you loot them, sometimes loot will respawn but only if you close the door/lid/drawer. Doesn't respawn right away, but check next chapter.
I'd also like to add how you can a fre Cougar pelt early at the start. Near the burnt down forrest, there should be a random encounter that spawns pretty frequently. It's a Cougar attacking a Spanish man who is hiding from it in a tree. As long as you can land a headshot with your bow, it will always be a 3 star pelt. Keep in mind that you do have to craft an improved arrow at your camps scout campfire 1st. If you are able to save the guy, you gain honor, but if you're too slow or let him die on purpose for a better shot, then you lose honor.
I don't comment on videos but this guide was so well put together without commentary that I felt the thought to do so. That's a first. Better than a lot of game guides with commentary. Appreciate your complete time & efforts my guy.
I've seen many of videos with the statues and they all make it so complicated this is the second guide I've seen from you mate and both workef first time Subbed 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Another tip if you want to do camp item requests. When you start chapter 2, run to Dutch and wait 1 or 2 minutes when he starts smoking a cigar. You can easily trigger Dutch's pipe request.
You can craft split point bullets anytime, just resting. You don't even need a fire. Just hold triangle and craft all bullets for all guns into split points. Also, gun wraps keep your weapons from needing repairs/cleaning as often (even though they are hideous).
it adds style to the sawn off shotgun but generally speaking i agree and dont use them for the main long guns. i much rather have the carvings on the stock
This game came out when I had just become a dad, so as much as I tried to get into it, I just never had the time to truly invest in it, and kept bouncing off. Watching this, I’m realizing I’ve been playing it all wrong, and that it really is a game that is meant to be explored thoroughly. I think the main story narrative was just so appealing to me, that I found myself itching to see that part of the game, and in so doing, I was robbing myself of the full experience, and also getting frustrated with a lack of understanding of the mechanics and systems, as well as feeling woefully under equipped and always broke, wandering aimlessly around the map looking for the next objective. Now that my kids are a little more self sufficient, I think I’m ready to start it up again from the beginning and really soak it in. Thanks for this guide. I think just knowing what key tasks to complete ASAP so that I can then pump the brakes on the story and do as much as possible between story missions is what will finally get me to crack through the surface of this game I’ve been scratching at on and off for about 150 combined hours since launch and never finishing.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback partner. I’m a family man myself, so I got into this game VERY LATE believe it or not; due to responsibilities and priorities. I’m currently doing a 100% completion playthrough, check it out if you have the time partner.
I also snag the Nevada Hat when I go to Window Rock early in Chapter 2. You can also get the Pump Action Shotgun and an American Paint horse at Chez Porter which is right next to Window Rock. I usually knock out Jack Hall Treasure early too since the first Map location is so close to camp @ Horseshoe Overlook on Calibans Seat.
This kind of video is only coming from someone who has played multiple playthrough to know just about everything ideal for the playthrough. Remind me of gta san andreas which I played countless time I know what I need to do first to help with the playthrough. Good job
I can never finish this game due to my work schedule. I've had it since it came out. Still one of my favorite games of all time. I will now have to restart the game all over and repeat these steps that you have generously showed me. Thanks dude for the tips!!
Thanks for watching. Come follow along with my 100% completion playthrough partner: ruclips.net/p/PL5F3_UYQ6mv_GhwYHsrYB1IOaEy-Zd1Io&si=XUOAQ14MWMLamh7i
Great video again, love your guides! I do wish you would add narration though, having to read everything means I can't have youtube on in background while doing something else. One little tip from myself, if you head for the brush fire just outside Horseshoe Overlook when you first arrive, you'll find a gold nugget. But even better, a man will spawn nearby being chased up a tree by a cougar. It's an easy headshot with your bow, since the cougar is watching the guy in the tree and not you. This will give you a perfect cougar-pelt to give to Pearson for the Legend of East-satchel :)
Hello. Not worth adding a gold nugget and a cougar pelt to this guide. I cover key factors that I feel will give you a major advantage to start your journey.
@@RockworthRDR2 at 02:28 you were riding back to camp and it was right there so since you are in the neighborhood grabbing that extra bit isnt too far below line of materiality, nugget and cash. Even better than the van Horn mansion is 37:21 south of Wallace stationw here the road turns from north to west(just west of the “ot” in “Dakota River” on the map there is a pile of junk with a chest that respawns indefinitely. It has a large jewelry bag, cash and a tonic. Grab it, ride west just past the train tracks, turn around and its full again. Since players are stationed in the area its easier access
I got another money exploit for you: South of Wallace Station, the road that crosses the Dakota River (where that stagecoach crashes with Micah) splits in two going up the hills. The path on the right will get you on top of the rock ledge overlooking the river. You'll find some abandoned furniture where the path takes a hard left West. The box underneath the furniture contains a large jewellery bag ($50), a miracle tonic, a coin purse and a pack of premium cigarettes, which will respawn ONLY IF you save your game after you moved out of the area around 50 meters SOUTH. I've tried and any other direction keeps the content from respawning. Please note the box will have moved but if done properly, the content will respawn behind the box, where it initially was. Of course, you have an inventory limit for the jewellery bags and you have to turn them over to the Fence, but you get a random cigarette card every time.
FYI: When you see the box has gone back to its initial spot, it means enough time has passed and the game has done a reset on many non-story/non-mission loot, like the gold bar that can be found in Limpany. (No, the 3 gold bars in the derailed train do not respawn. It's mainly money-clips in homesteads)
1st time playing it 5 years ago used cheat codes, just blasted through it without really appreciating it . Nothing out on ps5 right now I want to play. Replaying it without cheat codes. What an incredible game. I can get lost just riding around. Hands down top 5 game I've ever. played.
Fun fact: you can rob the docs register in valentine, right as you tell him “let me in there” stand next to the counter the doc he is scripted to knock look back and then the slide opens after a second or two. This interaction you have plenty time to rob the register and then point a gun at the doc off the side, for the whiskey and meds line 🤙🏼
at first i was like i know all these but dude you really taught me some stuff here and im only half way through thank you so much!!1 Thank you for spending the time to teach us all this!!
This is the BEST guide I’ve ever seen.. THANKYOU so much dude Idk why you don’t have 1M subscribers like the dickheads that don’t make good content and yet stay at the top of the algorithm
I’ve learned to save most gold bars for after Chapter 6. One playthrough, I held on to most of them in my satchel, only to see them disappear the first time I checked during the Epilogue.
I'm like 2 weeks late to this video but you can get the Cougar Saddle at the very beginning too. As soon as you're in Chapter 2, go from camp down the road toward the river, and there'll be an event that spawns where a man is hiding up a tree from a cougar. If you Deadeye and use your Bow to headshot the cougar, you'll be able to skin it for a Perfect Cougar Pelt, which is the only pelt needed to craft the Cougar McClelland Saddle at the Trapper.
It’s an awesome guide for returning players (haven’t replayed it since early 2019 myself) and second playthrough. But for a very first playthrough, I found it way more rewarding to learn from mistakes and miss a lot of stuff or finding it through exploration, or having the game teach it to me. The game design of this game is awesome when you really get into RP. But still, this is an amazing starting guide, not too OP, doesn’t really spoil anything either and exploits and glitches, well, good to know the essential ones, anyone then is free to do them or not. To be fair, I can totally understand how some new players to the game might prefer knowing all this before going in.
spent days only riding, hunting, fishing, and camping without any mission taken ... I am playing my second playthrough now, and the game is wonderfully ...
Not sure if this method works but when you encounter the hanging in valentine, if you kill the lawman that is present he will drop a bolt action rifle. If this doesn’t work, then there is another method to get the bolt action relatively early in the game. Spoiler ahead but when you do the mission with Javier to rescue Sean, there will be two men that you and Javier kill silently, followed by two more men. Kill one of those men silently (I killed the left guy but I don’t think it matters), either with a bow or throwing knife and he will drop a bolt action. If you alert them they will switch to a repeater and no longer drop the bolt action so save the game before attempting in case you need to redo it.
You can also get two Schofield Revolvers from the Valentines Doctor if you do the method right. After leaving the money, picking up the gun and getting arrested just outside the doctors. Then the encounter should reset, allowing you to pick up another Schofield.
At the derailed train, the carriage on its back with the open door, has money inside of it well work the extra 30 seconds needed to walk in to grab it. No hard climbing is needed.
Hey mister ! It was a bad thing for you to kill the grumpy ol' lady. I just put the gun away before i went up. Yeah, she was complaining about not recognizing me or whatever. I just walked straight out. I wonder if i'l meet her again. It was fun to watch you ride her donkey tho ! He's pretty quick. Thanks for those gold bars, partner ! The crashed train and cave. I had no idea.
I’d do all the gold grabs and tonic pamphlets too before anything, also steal a fishing pole to unlock survivalist. The only quests I do in chapter 2 is 1 Strauss so I can unlock the leather working kit. And hunting with Hosea to get the legendary hunting unlock. I don’t do another quest until I have made my legends of the east bag, and paid the bounty to be able to hunt the legendary ram so the animals won’t spoil. I love this guide, I have over 2800 hours logged never leaving horseshoe overlook. Only because it’s my favorite spot. The only quest you don’t have do to stay is Mary Linton.
uhhh the ram gives you double seasoning plant pick ups. you cant get the no animal spoil until the epilogue my dude and thats through the legendary pronghorn. unless you found a glitch to get over there and not get shot to hell you are mistaken on what the ram is giving you.
Thanks for sharing!!! I just started playing and I've only watched the first 4 min. so far and am looking forward to getting back home so I can go gather some gold bars!!!
take your time in CH2, you can do so so many things from completing challenges, to get the LOTE satchel to hidden / early weapons, trinkets and all aaand the camp is the best location and people are happy. Life is good in Ch2
If you don’t go look at the rock drawing, the gold bars will still be there. Wonder if that’s true for the treasure hunt maps? I’ve already done them all, so 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Story mode on PS5
I have never played this game through completely and never will. I will stay forever in chapter four, before everything turns into a depressive tragedy.
Tip for the money glitch, you can keep it permanently. Just save and reload again when you’re done collecting but don’t go back into the house until you want more. Then just repeat as usual when needed.
Thanks for this, much appreciated. I am struggling quite a bit with keyboard & mouse. Connected the xbox series x controller but dont seem to snap to head shots like you do. Getting killed in most ambushes because of that, but oh well, guess its a learning curve.
Can also grab the shark trinket while going through annesburg and then cut across to rhodes through braithewaithe manor and to the coast where you can find the cat eye trinket on an island.
Just did the homestead for the double action and in the process killed 3 gang members using it as a hideout and got a sawed off shotgun while also getting the double action! Also held up the 4th guy, let him live, and he generated an additional $75 under a pillow as his way of thanking me for sparing his pathetic drunken life LOL... also found an additional $11 in a money clip, a cigarrete card, various consumables... thank you!!
Nice Vid. If You Hit Strawberry as soon as you hit Horseshoe Overlook go to West Elizabeth by the Trapper hit the Obelisk take the Landmark of the Riches treasure map out do that its 6 gold bars to add to this.
Awesome guide. Except for paying a big bounty in Valentine for a shoot out at medicine doctor😂 it was a blast to do. I got a bear claw trinket from the old woman's cabin too. Now on too the trapper because i got a perfect Moose as well. Thanks Rockworth 👍 😊
Mind if I give some feedback since you’re starting fresh? Look I love these videos, very helpful but I often watch them while gaming and READING every tip for 45 minutes is a bit much. I prefer some narration, voice over. If you can’t, or don’t want to record yourself maybe look into an AI voice to read us the tips. Thanks
This is my style of content creation. I appreciate you watching my videos but i know it’s not gonna fit everyone’s interest and I’m alright with that. Sidenote, I’ve “considered” incorporating some narration into my videos, but until further notice, Rockworth doesn’t speak.

How do I get rid of my gold bars and loot early in chapter 2. ? There's no fence places open yet. 😮
@ianparrish6543 Yeah, go to Rhodes or St. Denis it's only the one at emerald ranch that is locked
You get the same price by donating the items to camp as you would a fence.
I played story mode 10 times and this is what I think is the best:
1.) At start of chapter II go to Valentine and talk to writer of the book of Jim Boy Calloway.
2.) Do mission with fight in Saloon
3.) Do mission of hunting with Hosea.

- Master Hunter (Rank 10 requires 'Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego' for Giaguaro's clues to spawn),
- Sharpshooter (Rank 6 requires long-scope rifle, unlocked in 'The Sheep and the Goats' unless obtained earlier via bugs),
- Survivalist (requires 'A Fisher of Men' to unlock Fishing Rod, can obtain the rod earlier from random NPCs fishing however Bluegills may not count until AFTER completion of the mission).
Completing 1 challenge strand of health, stamina or dead eye (and buying the reinforced equipment) will upgrade the outer core by 1 level. Completing the next 2 will upgrade by another level, resulting in maximum 10 level of health, stamina or dead eye. (and yes, with glitches, you can complete every challenge as Arthur, but only until after reaching Chapter 3)
Thank you for that retarded exposition.
Can you just free roam to do all these challenges and just avoid the yellow highlighted missions .? But for how long?
@@ianparrish6543 you can endlessly avoid yellow missions (Story missions), however there will be very little stuff unlocked. There are only a few challenge trees that you can complete fully before completing any mission in Chapter 2.
I did not know you could get an offhand holster before Micah gives it to you. Thats a solid tip right there.
Played about 7 story mode play-throughs. This is by far the best way to get a strong start without giving up the story plot, have weapons, guns, and cash. Thanks for your time and effort on this video. You gained a sub from me.I'll check out your other vids. Good job!
Your visual narration is top tier this is spectacular! Beautiful filmography :)
Thank you emily
Wow, what an absolutely great guide! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.
Terrific editing, too! Not only very useful, but also really enjoyable to watch.
I'm a total newbie to the RDR2 universe, and your guide just saved me. Thank you sir.
You have a new subscriber in me.
Thank you for noticing friend. Glad you found the channel.
That donkey ride 🤣
2:10 always close loot boxes and drawers and cupboards after you loot them, sometimes loot will respawn but only if you close the door/lid/drawer. Doesn't respawn right away, but check next chapter.
I'd also like to add how you can a fre Cougar pelt early at the start. Near the burnt down forrest, there should be a random encounter that spawns pretty frequently. It's a Cougar attacking a Spanish man who is hiding from it in a tree. As long as you can land a headshot with your bow, it will always be a 3 star pelt. Keep in mind that you do have to craft an improved arrow at your camps scout campfire 1st. If you are able to save the guy, you gain honor, but if you're too slow or let him die on purpose for a better shot, then you lose honor.
I don't comment on videos but this guide was so well put together without commentary that I felt the thought to do so. That's a first. Better than a lot of game guides with commentary. Appreciate your complete time & efforts my guy.
Thanks for watching partner.
I've seen many of videos with the statues and they all make it so complicated this is the second guide I've seen from you mate and both workef first time
Subbed 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Another tip if you want to do camp item requests. When you start chapter 2, run to Dutch and wait 1 or 2 minutes when he starts smoking a cigar. You can easily trigger Dutch's pipe request.
For 43 minutes that went surprisingly fast. Thanks for the help.
You can craft split point bullets anytime, just resting. You don't even need a fire. Just hold triangle and craft all bullets for all guns into split points.
Also, gun wraps keep your weapons from needing repairs/cleaning as often (even though they are hideous).
it adds style to the sawn off shotgun but generally speaking i agree and dont use them for the main long guns. i much rather have the carvings on the stock
25:50 not gonna lie, the sheriff standing right where you killed someone to tell you he’s keeping an eye on you is a pretty good flex.
This game came out when I had just become a dad, so as much as I tried to get into it, I just never had the time to truly invest in it, and kept bouncing off. Watching this, I’m realizing I’ve been playing it all wrong, and that it really is a game that is meant to be explored thoroughly. I think the main story narrative was just so appealing to me, that I found myself itching to see that part of the game, and in so doing, I was robbing myself of the full experience, and also getting frustrated with a lack of understanding of the mechanics and systems, as well as feeling woefully under equipped and always broke, wandering aimlessly around the map looking for the next objective. Now that my kids are a little more self sufficient, I think I’m ready to start it up again from the beginning and really soak it in.
Thanks for this guide. I think just knowing what key tasks to complete ASAP so that I can then pump the brakes on the story and do as much as possible between story missions is what will finally get me to crack through the surface of this game I’ve been scratching at on and off for about 150 combined hours since launch and never finishing.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback partner. I’m a family man myself, so I got into this game VERY LATE believe it or not; due to responsibilities and priorities.
I’m currently doing a 100% completion playthrough, check it out if you have the time partner.
This is the BEST channel with helpful information. Thank you for posting all you do !!💯
I’m honored. Thanks friend.
I also snag the Nevada Hat when I go to Window Rock early in Chapter 2. You can also get the Pump Action Shotgun and an American Paint horse at Chez Porter which is right next to Window Rock. I usually knock out Jack Hall Treasure early too since the first Map location is so close to camp @ Horseshoe Overlook on Calibans Seat.
This kind of video is only coming from someone who has played multiple playthrough to know just about everything ideal for the playthrough. Remind me of gta san andreas which I played countless time I know what I need to do first to help with the playthrough. Good job
I can never finish this game due to my work schedule. I've had it since it came out. Still one of my favorite games of all time. I will now have to restart the game all over and repeat these steps that you have generously showed me. Thanks dude for the tips!!
Thanks for watching. Come follow along with my 100% completion playthrough partner: ruclips.net/p/PL5F3_UYQ6mv_GhwYHsrYB1IOaEy-Zd1Io&si=XUOAQ14MWMLamh7i
Great video again, love your guides! I do wish you would add narration though, having to read everything means I can't have youtube on in background while doing something else. One little tip from myself, if you head for the brush fire just outside Horseshoe Overlook when you first arrive, you'll find a gold nugget. But even better, a man will spawn nearby being chased up a tree by a cougar. It's an easy headshot with your bow, since the cougar is watching the guy in the tree and not you. This will give you a perfect cougar-pelt to give to Pearson for the Legend of East-satchel :)
Hello. Not worth adding a gold nugget and a cougar pelt to this guide. I cover key factors that I feel will give you a major advantage to start your journey.
@@RockworthRDR2 at 02:28 you were riding back to camp and it was right there so since you are in the neighborhood grabbing that extra bit isnt too far below line of materiality, nugget and cash. Even better than the van Horn mansion is 37:21 south of Wallace stationw here the road turns from north to west(just west of the “ot” in “Dakota River” on the map there is a pile of junk with a chest that respawns indefinitely. It has a large jewelry bag, cash and a tonic. Grab it, ride west just past the train tracks, turn around and its full again. Since players are stationed in the area its easier access
I got another money exploit for you: South of Wallace Station, the road that crosses the Dakota River (where that stagecoach crashes with Micah) splits in two going up the hills. The path on the right will get you on top of the rock ledge overlooking the river. You'll find some abandoned furniture where the path takes a hard left West. The box underneath the furniture contains a large jewellery bag ($50), a miracle tonic, a coin purse and a pack of premium cigarettes, which will respawn ONLY IF you save your game after you moved out of the area around 50 meters SOUTH. I've tried and any other direction keeps the content from respawning. Please note the box will have moved but if done properly, the content will respawn behind the box, where it initially was. Of course, you have an inventory limit for the jewellery bags and you have to turn them over to the Fence, but you get a random cigarette card every time.
FYI: When you see the box has gone back to its initial spot, it means enough time has passed and the game has done a reset on many non-story/non-mission loot, like the gold bar that can be found in Limpany. (No, the 3 gold bars in the derailed train do not respawn. It's mainly money-clips in homesteads)
🤠Yee-haw!
1st time playing it 5 years ago used cheat codes, just blasted through it without really appreciating it . Nothing out on ps5 right now I want to play. Replaying it without cheat codes. What an incredible game. I can get lost just riding around. Hands down top 5 game I've ever. played.
I almost wanna start over now! Sometimes it more fun prepping for the game than actually running through the missions…😊
Start a new one then partner. Best way to play is pacing yourself in my opinion.
@@RockworthRDR2 I just might have to do that! Your videos are super helpful, thank you.
Fun fact: you can rob the docs register in valentine, right as you tell him “let me in there” stand next to the counter the doc he is scripted to knock look back and then the slide opens after a second or two. This interaction you have plenty time to rob the register and then point a gun at the doc off the side, for the whiskey and meds line 🤙🏼
at first i was like i know all these but dude you really taught me some stuff here and im only half way through thank you so much!!1 Thank you for spending the time to teach us all this!!
You’re very welcome partner.
that donkey is fast haha
This is the BEST guide I’ve ever seen..
THANKYOU so much dude
Idk why you don’t have 1M subscribers like the dickheads that don’t make good content and yet stay at the top of the algorithm
Thank you for watching friend. I appreciate your encouragement.
You can also get a valerian root in limpany (first stop) as well upstairs in the saloon
I’ve learned to save most gold bars for after Chapter 6. One playthrough, I held on to most of them in my satchel, only to see them disappear the first time I checked during the Epilogue.
Convert to cash, use the Aberdeen pig farm at the last time possible, go collect the funds as John.
I'm like 2 weeks late to this video but you can get the Cougar Saddle at the very beginning too. As soon as you're in Chapter 2, go from camp down the road toward the river, and there'll be an event that spawns where a man is hiding up a tree from a cougar. If you Deadeye and use your Bow to headshot the cougar, you'll be able to skin it for a Perfect Cougar Pelt, which is the only pelt needed to craft the Cougar McClelland Saddle at the Trapper.
Back again. Thank you for this!
About two years ago I did all of this in the beginning for my second playthrough. I really can recommend it. Really nice video.
I just came here to say that while following this guide, I was enjoying the game way more than the first couple of times. Thank you n_n
Thank you so much for watching partner.
By the 2 gold bars and smashed train, the other stuff in the one car ain't nothin to sneeze at
ruclips.net/video/-wKUSA8sPa4/видео.htmlsi=1B8V1B3LeVOZ9kfd
It’s an awesome guide for returning players (haven’t replayed it since early 2019 myself) and second playthrough.
But for a very first playthrough, I found it way more rewarding to learn from mistakes and miss a lot of stuff or finding it through exploration, or having the game teach it to me. The game design of this game is awesome when you really get into RP.
But still, this is an amazing starting guide, not too OP, doesn’t really spoil anything either and exploits and glitches, well, good to know the essential ones, anyone then is free to do them or not.
To be fair, I can totally understand how some new players to the game might prefer knowing all this before going in.
spent days only riding, hunting, fishing, and camping without any mission taken ... I am playing my second playthrough now, and the game is wonderfully ...
Not sure if this method works but when you encounter the hanging in valentine, if you kill the lawman that is present he will drop a bolt action rifle. If this doesn’t work, then there is another method to get the bolt action relatively early in the game. Spoiler ahead but when you do the mission with Javier to rescue Sean, there will be two men that you and Javier kill silently, followed by two more men. Kill one of those men silently (I killed the left guy but I don’t think it matters), either with a bow or throwing knife and he will drop a bolt action. If you alert them they will switch to a repeater and no longer drop the bolt action so save the game before attempting in case you need to redo it.
ruclips.net/video/nO7TyEY2NHk/видео.htmlsi=gG--cYWJdT9vvKPY
I usually wait to do any of this till after I do the hunting mission with Hosea so I can brush my horse
It's worth noting when you get that first gold bar there is some oregano growing close by. Susan will ask for this as a camp request
You can also get two Schofield Revolvers from the Valentines Doctor if you do the method right. After leaving the money, picking up the gun and getting arrested just outside the doctors. Then the encounter should reset, allowing you to pick up another Schofield.
At the train wreck there's also additional loot in one of the other rail cars near the base of the bridge.
I was going to say that... HI5
You can get that pump shotgun out of grandma's basement too remember? I forget that old woman's name.
Thank you for an excellent video! Clearly done, with chapter markers. You helped this old gamer / New RDR2 player immensely!
I’m glad you enjoyed friend. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
me on my 5th playtrough enjoying this like a movie
These are all great, but I gotta say the most useful piece of information to me was that you don't have to rescue Micah to get the Lancaster.
Nice job! Don't forget to give Arthur some fancy and comfy clothes :)
At the derailed train, the carriage on its back with the open door, has money inside of it well work the extra 30 seconds needed to walk in to grab it. No hard climbing is needed.
ruclips.net/video/-wKUSA8sPa4/видео.htmlsi=EAjbmpQKVWWnTOQ1
@@RockworthRDR2 yep. 30 extra seconds.
Very relaxing video. I'm planning to replay RDR2 soon so I might use some of these tips. Thanks 😊 Also 39:20 😂
Hey mister !
It was a bad thing for you to kill the grumpy ol' lady. I just put the gun away before i went up.
Yeah, she was complaining about not recognizing me or whatever. I just walked straight out. I wonder if i'l meet her again.
It was fun to watch you ride her donkey tho ! He's pretty quick.
Thanks for those gold bars, partner ! The crashed train and cave. I had no idea.
My Arthur can be a little edgy sometimes lol. Thanks for watching partner.
I’d do all the gold grabs and tonic pamphlets too before anything, also steal a fishing pole to unlock survivalist. The only quests I do in chapter 2 is 1 Strauss so I can unlock the leather working kit. And hunting with Hosea to get the legendary hunting unlock. I don’t do another quest until I have made my legends of the east bag, and paid the bounty to be able to hunt the legendary ram so the animals won’t spoil. I love this guide, I have over 2800 hours logged never leaving horseshoe overlook. Only because it’s my favorite spot. The only quest you don’t have do to stay is Mary Linton.
uhhh the ram gives you double seasoning plant pick ups. you cant get the no animal spoil until the epilogue my dude and thats through the legendary pronghorn. unless you found a glitch to get over there and not get shot to hell you are mistaken on what the ram is giving you.
Thanks for this awesome video, watched some of your other contact and love it. Continue the great work!
Thanks for sharing!!! I just started playing and I've only watched the first 4 min. so far and am looking forward to getting back home so I can go gather some gold bars!!!
For the cave statues. Select the ones with prime numbers. The number of fingers that are out. If I remember correctly
When you're doing the money glitch, turn free aim off so you can get dead eye xp
Turn aim assist off I mean
NEVER spend the gold bars as Arthur! Tons of other ways to make plenty of quick easy cash. Save 'em for John.
Do you mean don’t grab them and leave them where they are? And they will be in the same locations when you play as John?
Thank you, I'll have to finish later.
Reminds me of watching gta series videos back then. Missed those times
Get as many gold bars as possible, get every obtainable firearm (through robberies), and fully upgrade your satchel asap.
500 hours of gameplay and I never once thought about riding the donkey 🤣🤣
On my 2nd playthrough just chillin in Ch. 2 right now. Def gonna watch this.
take your time in CH2, you can do so so many things from completing challenges, to get the LOTE satchel to hidden / early weapons, trinkets and all aaand the camp is the best location and people are happy. Life is good in Ch2
Excellent format and editing! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback and support partner
If you don’t go look at the rock drawing, the gold bars will still be there. Wonder if that’s true for the treasure hunt maps? I’ve already done them all, so 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Story mode on PS5
Great video bud. Thank you!
I have never played this game through completely and never will. I will stay forever in chapter four, before everything turns into a depressive tragedy.
Rockworth, excellent as always! I want to see you win the horse race with that burro! Stay well my friend
That donkey was hauling ass brother😂
Thanks!
Thank you for your support friend. Blessings to you and yours.
that odriscoll called arthur “cowpoke” … interesting🤔
arthur calls micah cowpoke first. most people miss this. thats why he turns it around and uses it on arthur all the time.
Tip for the money glitch, you can keep it permanently. Just save and reload again when you’re done collecting but don’t go back into the house until you want more. Then just repeat as usual when needed.
Nice tip partner.
Not sure I understand, can you please elaborate?
Thanks for this, much appreciated. I am struggling quite a bit with keyboard & mouse. Connected the xbox series x controller but dont seem to snap to head shots like you do. Getting killed in most ambushes because of that, but oh well, guess its a learning curve.
RIDING THE DONKEY IN CINEMATIC VIEW IS EPIC!! LMFAO
Can also grab the shark trinket while going through annesburg and then cut across to rhodes through braithewaithe manor and to the coast where you can find the cat eye trinket on an island.
Started my idk 8 or 9th playthrough. First thing I do is the Gold Bars. Train, burnt town, Statues, etc
Nice guide, one thing you missed though is the rare shotgun you can get north of annesburg
Yeh best RDR2 walkthrough on RUclips thank you ✌🏻💖
Such a relaxing video and very easy to follow along. Thank you
If only the game looked like that on ps5
Just did the homestead for the double action and in the process killed 3 gang members using it as a hideout and got a sawed off shotgun while also getting the double action! Also held up the 4th guy, let him live, and he generated an additional $75 under a pillow as his way of thanking me for sparing his pathetic drunken life LOL... also found an additional $11 in a money clip, a cigarrete card, various consumables... thank you!!
best game ever and a best channel ever
Where are you being so along time 😢🎉
Very thanks for this 🎉😊
Nice Vid. If You Hit Strawberry as soon as you hit Horseshoe Overlook go to West Elizabeth by the Trapper hit the Obelisk take the Landmark of the Riches treasure map out do that its 6 gold bars to add to this.
Forgot about the Schofield when robbing the shop in valentine. Nice. Thanks
yeah Im in ch4 of my newest playthrough and my #1 weapon(s) used are my dual schofields, even more than lancaster.
@andrewlowden322 the last playthrough I used the volcanic pistols. The Schofield feels different.. I like it better, feels heavier
Had the game since it came out.. just finished it for the second time.. I'm going to restart it for the third time...
Can't wait for rdr3
man how much time were you taking for each playthrough
Awesome guide. Except for paying a big bounty in Valentine for a shoot out at medicine doctor😂 it was a blast to do. I got a bear claw trinket from the old woman's cabin too. Now on too the trapper because i got a perfect Moose as well. Thanks Rockworth 👍 😊
25:24
Hilarious
There's also a rare double Barreled Shotgun from the Hermit in the north you can get free early
Very nice work. Thx a lot for these. Will follow and see other work of yours.
Excellent job!
This game helped me quit first person shooter games online 😅
Thank you! Very helpful
Mind if I give some feedback since you’re starting fresh? Look I love these videos, very helpful but I often watch them while gaming and READING every tip for 45 minutes is a bit much. I prefer some narration, voice over. If you can’t, or don’t want to record yourself maybe look into an AI voice to read us the tips. Thanks
This is my style of content creation. I appreciate you watching my videos but i know it’s not gonna fit everyone’s interest and I’m alright with that. Sidenote, I’ve “considered” incorporating some narration into my videos, but until further notice, Rockworth doesn’t speak.
There is a 2x speed button
I prefer the way you do it now Rockworth
maybe you can try that with your 14 subscribers
@@RockworthRDR2sorry to be annoying but I vote for narration as well. I like to listen while cleaning / cooking / driving etc lol 😢
It's comprehensive vid man
