Red Dead Redemption 1 (PS5/PS4) Trophy Guide & Roadmap

An easier way is to replay the mission “Lucky in Love” from your Stats > Missions menu, where the mission setup has a table with four players and you will automatically be dealt a winning hand. Keep slowly raising the bet, never more than doubling the current raise to avoid spooking the other players, and try to get the pot over 2000 chips. You will have two hands to try to make this happen before you will be accused of cheating. If you haven’t managed a 2000 chip pot by that point, quit the mission, and replay it again.

1. Bid a higher number of dice of any value
2. Bid the same number of dice of a higher value
3. Declare that the previous player’s bid is spot-on
4. Call out the previous player for bluffing

If the next player chooses to bid then the play continues to the next player in sequence, otherwise it triggers a showdown where everyone reveals their dice. If the bid was correctly called out as a bluff then the bluffing player loses a die, otherwise the player who called them out loses a die. Declaring a bid “spot-on” (which is to say exactly correct) is a riskier venture. If there are less or more dice of that value on the table, then the declaring player loses a die. But if the player declaring the bid is “spot-on” happens to be correct, then all other players lose a die (including the player that made the bid!).

Strategies:

• Find a table with only one player: This reduces the number of rounds you’ll have to play, and significantly increases the accuracy of your guesses when you bid. But finding a table with just one player isn’t easy.
• Two players will do: It will take longer since you’ll have ten dice to eliminate instead of five, but if you play strategically you can get the other two players to pick off each other’s dice, giving you an informational advantage on every round. It’s not ideal, but it’s much easier than waiting for a table with only one other player. But don’t go higher than two, or the math starts to turn against you.
• At the beginning of the game, it pays to bluff on the first turn: Until they’re down to their last die, it is extremely unlikely for another player to call out on your first bid of a round. Bid one die (or even two in the first couple rounds) of a number you don’t even have, to make other players think you have something you don’t. And if they happen to bid more of the same number, the chances of catching them in a bluff is exponentially higher.
• Don’t rush for higher bids: Don’t bid multiples all at once to make your opponents think you have less than you actually do. For example if you had three fives, instead of bidding them all right away open with one or two fives. Then the other players will either count on that information to make a higher bid inaccurately, or they will think that you’re bluffing when you bid more of that dice later.
• Know the statistics: When you bluff, or when trying to figure out if another player’s bid is a bluff, see how many dice you have matching that value and subtract that number of dice from the bid. Now check below and you’ll see how likely it is that whatever’s left is actually out there.
  
• Better to Let the Other Guy Take the Risk: The longer each round goes, the more it will feel like Russian roulette. Someone has to call out the bluff but it’s better if its someone else, especially if there are two other players who can end up hurting each other, and doubly so if you’ve already bluffed earlier in the round to seed misinformation into their decision making process. If someone has taken the bait on your first turn bluff and makes a bid thinking there’s 2 more fives out there than there really are, then go ahead and call his bluff if the chances make sense mathematically. Otherwise if you can make a believable bluff (or better yet, make a legitimate bid that seems suspicious), you’re better off bidding than taking the chance on calling them out.

Save your game before you start. Worst case scenario, you can quit any game that’s not going your way and just sit down at the same table and ante another $20 to try again. If you lose too much money, reload your save and try again.

Once you’ve got your swing aimed properly, use the right stick to pull back , then forward a couple times to build up momentum. For best results release a bit after the indicator, so you hit the stake about halfway up rather than coming up short if you don’t have enough momentum. As long as you aim as shown above you’ll be throwing on target, then all you need to do is dial in the timing of the swing. Watch how Marston moves, and you’ll see when you’re doing it properly if it looks like a fluid motion that builds up momentum. Games at MacFarlane’s Ranch are only $1 a game, so you can just play again if you don’t manage a ringer.

Save your game nearby, then make sure that you go into your weapon select menu with / and select “Fist” in the lower right. Then pick your target and punch away. Try not to pick a civilian or they will just run away, but anyone who is armed will stick around to finish the fight. You’ll have to knock them out for it to count. Once you do, get out of there because when they wake up they’re going to pull their gun! If you get mobbed by too many people at once you can reload your save and try again.

Kentucky Saddler: Yellow-gold coat, usually found in the hills near the Hanging Rock.

American Standardbred: Glossy black coat, found in the Great Plains area around Beecher’s Hope.

Hungarian Half-Bred: White coat with a grey mane, usually found near Diaz Coronas.

Kill everyone but the target, then switch to your lasso and capture him. When he falls to the ground, run up and hog tie him, then call your horse. While waiting for your horse to get close, pick up the tied up bounty and then put him on the back of your horse. Then head to the jail marked on the map with a yellow circle, usually it will be the location closest to where you got the bounty, but always check to be sure. As you head back, you’ll be continuously harried by members of the bounty’s gang who will chase and shoot you. Be sure to kill them as soon as you can, using Dead Eye if there’s a lot at once, because they have a nasty tendency to accidentally/intentionally kill your bounty while trying to kill you. Once you approach the yellow X at the drop, it will automatically show a cinematic of the deputies leading the prisoner inside and you’ll get your full bounty, as well as the trophy.

The easiest mission to complete is the first one, “Exodus in America”. Skip all the cutscenes and run to the saloon. Skip the next cutscene, then run to your horse and follow Jake to Fort Mercer. Skip the cutscene, ride up to the marker, then skip the cutscene. You can get a gold medal time with 30 seconds to spare.

» Red Dead Redemption – 100% Checklist & Guide

Once you’ve changed to the War Horse deed, you will then need to complete 20 story missions while keeping your horse alive and not using hitching posts until the trophy pops. Keep a backup save between missions in case your horse accidentally dies, so you can reload if necessary. During missions be sure to get off your horse at a safe distance from gunfights to keep them out of harms way, but the real dangers to horses are cougars and falling damage. The second you hear the characteristic yowl of a cougar, be ready to immediately go into Dead Eye. They are tough to see in the brush, so start running and look for movement behind you and shoot it. For heights, horses will usually stop before you ride them off a cliff but if you call them their pathfinding will sometimes cause them to slip over edges and potentially die. If your horse is in a precarious position, it’s sometimes better to just go to the horse rather than taking the chance it won’t accidentally kill itself.

Some missions like “Wild Horses, Tamed Passions” force you to mount another horse. This is fine, as long as you don’t use a hitching post, but you should still switch back to your bonded horse as soon as possible. Horse death, using another deed, hitching a different horse, or being awarded the Dark Horse for dropping to Desperado Honor rank will reset your counter and you will have to reload or begin again.

If you don’t see one in the herd, ride away until the horses despawn then ride back and check again until you find one. Break the horse, then go to any general store and purchase the Hungarian Half-Bred deed just in case your horse dies while building up your $5000 bounty. Next you will need a Pardon Letter, which you can receive from Seth in “Exhuming and Other Fine Hobbies” (if you use your money to pay to clear your bounty instead of the letter, or they can be earned by completing Gang Hideouts. Finally, make a backup save and then you will be read to begin. Go to a large settlement in New Austin or West Elizabeth and start killing innocent civilians until you provoke a response from the law.

Once a posse is after you, lead them on a chase across country. Lawmen are worth more bounty and they won’t run from you like civilians, so all you have to do is stay ahead of the pack and kill them as they come into range. This is also safer than getting pinned down in town, where you can be cornered and/or flanked. Keep a stack of medicine on hand anyhow, as their gunfire is both powerful and accurate. It is also worth losing your wanted status a few times so that you can camp and make a save in a new slot, just so you don’t lose your progress if the posse takes you down with a lucky shot. US Marshals will start appearing after you’ve killed at least 20 lawmen, but you may have to lose then re-gain your wanted status to make them start appearing.

If you’re saving regularly this should happen organically, and at some point during your rise to $5000 you will earn Heading South on a White Bronco when losing your wanted status. Continue to kill lawmen and you will unlock  Man of Honor / Chivalry’s Dead, which should happen before you reach a bounty of $5000. Once you do get your bounty above $5000, head to the nearest telegraph office to clear your bounty using the Pardon Letter by pressing (instead of the normal method using which will cause you to pay the bounty using cash) to finally unlock  Friends in High Places.

The animals that you’ll need to kill are:

1. Armadillo (Common in Cholla Springs, Gaptooth Ridge, and most of Nuevo Paradiso)
2. Bear (Twin Trees, north of Manzanita Post)
3. Beaver (Along waterline north of Beecher’s Hope)
4. Bighorn (Twin Trees, north of Manzanita Post)
5. Boar (Found in the swampy area east of MacFarlane Ranch near Stillwater Creek. Also abundant in West Elizabeth, mostly south of Manzanita Post)
6. Bobcat (Southeast of Escalera, area between Perdido and Agave Viejo, and area between El Presidio and Torquemada)
7. Buffalo (See  Manifest Destiny)
8. Cougar (Rio Bravo, and along the top edge of Gaptooth Ridge / Cholla Springs)
9. Coyote (Common in Cholla Springs and the surrounding areas)
10. Crow (Common in all areas)
11. Deer (Common in all areas)
12. Duck (Lake Don Julio)
13. Eagle (Common in all areas)
14. Elk (Tall Trees)
15. Fox (Rio del Lobo or Rio Bravo, as well as the area south of Armadillo)
16. Hawk (New Austin and Nuevo Paradiso)
17. Wild Horse (Common in all areas)
18. Owl (Common in all areas at night)
19. Rabbit (Mission objective in “New Friends, Old Problems”)
20. Raccoon (Common around Hanging Rock)
21. Seagull (Blackwater by the docks)
22. Skunk (Common around Hanging Rock)
23. Snake (Spawns in all areas, but difficult to see in scrub/grass. Listen for rattle and/or hiss to locate)
24. Songbird (Common in all areas)
25. Vulture (Common in all areas, particularly where there are corpses)
26. Wolf (Common in Nuevo Paradiso and Tall Trees)

Note: You will also see Jackalopes on the end of the list, but they were not part of the original list of animals and are not needed for this trophy. If you want to kill one for the Expert Hunter Outfit, you can check around Pleasance House, or any place that rabbits are common. Every time a rabbit spawns, there is a very slim chance that it will spawn a jackalope instead.

• Rank 1: Purchase the tomahawk from the general store at Manzanita Post
• Rank 2: Kill one enemy with the tomahawk used as a throwing weapon, one as a melee weapon, and one from horseback
  Using / to aim, you can use / to throw the tomahawk. Use this to kill an enemy at range from horseback, then while on foot. After that, release  / and run into melee range of an enemy and press  / to chop them with the tomahawk.
• Rank 3: Kill a flying bird with a tomahawk without using deadeye
  Any place that you generate a large number of corpses will attract circling vultures. The Twin Rocks hideout has an accessible roof that will bring you into easy range to kill vultures in the area.
• Rank 4: Kill 5 enemies in a row without missing with the tomahawk
  Don’t even try to throw the tomahawk. Instead get into melee range and execute five people with it to complete this easily.
• Rank 5: Complete a Gang Hideout using only tomahawks
  Twin Rocks is small and easy, but it also has two guys who live on top of rocks. You’ll either waste a lot of tomahawks trying to judge the arc correctly or you’ll have to climb up to chop them in the face, which is actually faster. The rancher’s daughter will likely die, but once you kill the last enemy it will still count as completed.

• Rank 1: Purchase the Explosive Rifle from the gunsmith in Blackwater
• Rank 2: Kill 5 enemies who are taking cover with the Explosive Rifle
  Head to any gang hideout, and wait for enemy to hide behind cover. Kill them with the explosive rifle indirectly, by splashing the explosion off the ground, the wall behind them, or some other object in the area that will cause them to be hit by the explosion while they remain hidden.
• Rank 3: Kill 3 enemies with a single shot
  The first part of Pike’s Basin has a small group of enemies far away from the others. Hogtie three gang members then pile them in one place and shoot them with the Explosive Rifle.
• Rank 4: Kill 2 wild animals in 1 shot with the Explosive Rifle
  Any pack of coyotes or wolves, wild horse herd, or flock of birds will do for an easy completion.
• Rank 5: Obtain and change into the US Army Uniform. Kill an enemy with the Explosive Rifle while wearing the US Army Uniform

Four Horses of the Apocalypse

• Rank 1-4: These ranks represent finding and breaking the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. This can be accomplished in any order. When you are in the vicinity of one of the horses, you will receive a message that a mythical creature is nearby and a blue circle will appear on your map showing your search area.
  • Pestilence
    Spawns all over West Elizabeth
    
  • War
    Spawns in New Austin, usually in Gaptooth Ridge and on the west side of Cholla Springs.
    
  • Famine
    Spawns all over Nuevo Paradiso
    
  • Death
    Spawns in New Austin
    
• Rank 5: Kill one of each type of undead using Death’s power
  While riding death, any human undead you trample will immediately die. Run up Jorge’s Gap and you’ll get at least 3 out of 4, then head to Gaptooth Ridge to get a Retcher to finish off the challenge.

Undead Hunter

• Rank 1: Kill 100 Fresh Undead and 25 Bolters
  Fresh Undead are the regular walking dead you find everywhere, while Bolters are the ones that drop to all fours to run. It won’t take long to rack up these kills in regular play.
• Rank 2: Kill 25 more Bruisers and 15 more Retchers
  Bruisers are the heavyset undead that shoulder charge you, and Retchers are the undead with glowing green patches that spit at you.
• Rank 3: Use a single explosion of a Retcher to kill two other undead
  This can be done at the gate of El Presidio, where Retchers will spawn in the middle of a group of undead. Use Undead Bait to group them up before shooting the Retcher in the head to trigger the explosion.
• Rank 4: Kill 2 undead bears, 5 undead wolves, and 3 undead cougars using a torch
  The Horse of the Apocalypse Pestilence cannot be killed, so use it to hit all these undead with your torch from horseback. Just be careful that there aren’t any human undead around who can pull you down from your saddle, especially when hunting bears and wolves in Tall Trees. Cougars spawn there as well, but less commonly. The Gaptooth Ridge area east of Cueva Seca is a good place, as is Rio Bravo.
• Rank 5: Find and Kill the Chupacabra
  This will also unlock Chupathingy. The Chupacabra can spawn all over Nuevo Paradiso, but it spawns most commonly near Torquemada. Use Pestilence again and kill it from horseback with a rifle round or two.

Undead Treasure Hunter

• Rank 1: Find the first map in a chest at a wilderness camp and find the treasure
  You will find the treasure map during one of two ambient events. Either the man eating human parts by a campfire, or the scientist with the gatling gun, both of which have treasure chests in their camp. Looting the chest will randomly give you the treasure map. Use the treasure map from your Kit menu to look at it.
   
  The small train station and windmill next to MacFarlane’s Ranch is the first landmark on the map. From there, head north from Pike’s Basin and ride over the train tunnel to find a long uphill ride into the snowy peaks to the very end of a box canyon where you’ll find the familiar rock pile in the open.
   
• Rank 2: Starting at Venter’s Place, look to the east to find the cliff and trees in the treasure map.
   
  Head east, but swing a bit north to find the path up to the ledge that has the rock pile with the treasure.
   
• Rank 3: This treasure is on the cliffs above The Scratching Post. Look to the north.
   
  As shown on the map, loop around to the back of the rock to find the path to the top.
   
• Rank 4: Starting in Sepulcro there are two statues like this, but only one that has palm trees in the background.
   
  Follow the path shown in the second part, to find a group of three trees with the rocks between them.
   
• Rank 5: The map shows the recognizable arch of Casa Madrugada. Follow the train tracks to the southeast.
   
  When you’re roughly due north of Sepulcro, look for a path to get up on the ledge at the base of the cliffs. The rocks with the treasure will be right out on the edge of the ledge.
   

Undead Sharpshooter

• Rank 1: Kill 5 undead in 10 seconds using a gun
  Use Dead-Eye to mark and headshot 5 normal zombies.
• Rank 2: Headshot 10 undead in a row
  You can’t use Dead-Eye for this rank, but you can change your targeting to Casual to automatically snap to a headshot. Avoid shooting Retchers, as their explosion will count as a regular kill and you will have to start again.
• Rank 3: Kill 5 flaming undead in one Dead-Eye meter
  Find a group of zombies to hit with a Fire Bottle then quickly switch to a revolver and go into Dead-Eye to kill them all before the fire finishes them off.
• Rank 4: Kill one of each undead type in one Dead-Eye meter
  A group of 10+ undead spawn outside El Presidio, and all four types can spawn there. If you save your game there, you can reload until you get all four types at once. Climb up on the left tower with the cannon, then use Dead-Eye to kill them all at once. You can also use an Undead Bait to group them together, in case there are undead against the wall below you to bring them out where they can be killed easily.
• Rank 5: Get 5 undead sniper kills in 8 seconds (can’t use Dead-Eye)
  The gates of El Presidio is good for this as well, but this time you’ll be doing this from the ground facing the gates from the outside. Run away from the undead so that they group up behind you, then throw an Undead Bait behind them to distract them. Then you can use the Rolling Block to pick them off one by one while they mill around the bait in a tight group. Alternately, you can get into melee range and use executions to kill 5 in quick succession, but that is more dangerous and difficult to do consistently with a sniper rifle.
