    Hey, can you do chapter 2 stranger missions if you are on chapter 3 or 4?
    also, if you miss any, or do not complete all of them, what impact does that have on the trophies?

    Thanks

      Yes, the chapters are just when they unlock but you can do them at any later point. They are still available after the story in free roam.

    *SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T FINISH THE GAME YET*

    Well, I was unlucky enough to stumble upon an article which pretty much spoiled that [REDACTED]. My question is, can I finish any stranger missions with [REDACTED], if I already started them with [REDACTED]?

      Yup, nothing is missable.

      Well, I can’t finish the Professor’s mission. I was about to go capture the criminal for the electric chair, but then Arthur died, and now the marker has disappeared.

      This is old but i do recommend saving the last mission of the veteran for john cause the cutscene is worth it i wont spoil what he says but its really touching what they talk about.

      i got the trophy after i finished another stranger mission
      guess it dosen’t count 1

    • BartThaPlayr says

      Just here to say, in your journal you have to meet 10 strangers. Meaning, if you started mission “A Fisher of Fish”, and didn’t completed it, you’ve got +1 in your journal, but it doesn’t count towards the trophy. I got my trophy on like my 15th stranger mission, because I haven’t been doing these collectable quests

    Can you replay Stranger Missions (even if its after the game ends)? I have tracked down all the Gunslingers for “Nobelest of Man, and a Woman” however I forgot to loot Midnight’s pistol. Thinking i’ll never be able to pick this up now, but wondering if there may be a glimmer of hope.

      No, Stranger Missions can’t be replayed, unfortunately.

    Hi Pyx,
    What if my total completion shows me a tick next to “Strangers” and I didn’t get the trophy. Should I be worried it might be bugged or just play till the end of the game and when i complete more it will eventually unclock?
    I am in chapter 4 right now.

      The Checkmark/Tick in the Completion-Menu does not reflect the Progress to the “Western Stranger”-Trophy.
      The Menu counts every unique Stranger which you met once.
      For the Trophy, you have to complete all Missions for 10 Strangers (they have to have several parts, like I-V).
      The Trophy should come, once you progress the Stranger’s Mission Strands even further.

      So if you just have accepted 10 Strands, the Menu likely says 10/10, while you are still far away from the Trophy, which is awarded upon completion.

      Same as above for me got the tick. Starting epilogue now and no trophy has popped for this. I have been doing every stranger quest I have seen as well

  6. quinnerd says

    November 1, 2018 at 10:11 am

    It says 10/10 on Social Club and there’s a checkmark on my progress. So that doesn’t unlock the trophy? I’m so confused.

      Trophy finally unlocked for me at my 12th stranger mission. I don’t know what was up with that.

    • PowerPyx says

      November 1, 2018 at 3:06 pm

      I’ll add a note that it can unlock later than it should.

  7. DougGilmourMVP says

    November 1, 2018 at 7:48 pm

    It seems some of them are missable. I had started a few before beating the game but now they don’t pop up on my map after the epilogue.

      Some only spawn at day or at night, I think that might be the problem? If you remember which one in particular you can’t get to spawn I’m happy to double check on my save.

    • DougGilmourMVP says

      November 2, 2018 at 12:01 am

      He’s British, of Course and The Mercies of Knowledge. I had already talked to them during a story and did part of The Mercies of knowledge but now they’re never on my map and they’re gone from the log.

    The Course of Love IV doesn‘t appear. Neither Day nor night. I finished the story and it just disappeared. Can someone please help me?

    I got the trophy after the 14th Stranger mission. I suspect not all of them on the above list count towards the 10 stranger mission.

    Also, I got a few stranger missions while on chapter 6. I suspect those will be added later as you mention in the guide.

    Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

    A Fisher of Fish mission is available starting in Chapter 2 actually. For me, it was there, after the train robbery with John, but i guess it could spawn after fishing with Jack. (definitely after the robbery, tho)

      For me it was available in Chapter 2 after A Fisher of Men mission with Jack.

    Hi. There are some stranger missions like the Veteran that you should add to this list.

    Hi Powerpyx, would you be able to update the complete list of Stranger Missions in Red Redemption 2, pretty please? There are so many more out there such as catching an additional legendary fish (Northern Pike) in The Veteran, the serial killer mission American Dreams, The American Inferno Burnt Out and so many more.

    Reply
  13. dstack says

    November 7, 2018 at 2:31 am

    Yeah this list is missing “The Veteran”, “The American Inferno, Burnt Out”, and “The Wisdom of the Elders”. There might be others too but those are the ones I can find; there doesn’t seem to be a truly complete guide out there anywhere yet, but this one is still the closest.

    Some of these Stranger missions definitely disappear after the main story. I had quite a few I was going to work on/was halfway through that have completely gone.

    Whats the mission name for the Charlotte girl north of Annesburg? Is it a stranger mission?

      It has no name (it would show after saving, if it had one).
      I called it The Widow.
      It does not count as a Stranger Mission Strand for the trophy.

  16. Rani says

    November 10, 2018 at 12:30 pm

    Will you be able to do the Veteran Mission after you’ve finished the game?

    Not counting the ones that you list as not counting towards the trophy, I have completed:

    The Smell of the Grease Paint
    Arcadia for Amateurs
    American Dreams
    A Fine Night For It
    Geology for Beginners (Rock Carvings)
    Smoking and other Hobbies (Cigarette Cards)
    He’s British, of Course
    The Iniquities of History

    That’s eight, yet my trophy progress says I’m 70% done. Either it’s a glitch, one of these doesn’t count, or buying all the cigarette cards instead of collecting them doesn’t count (which is what I did).

      No Good Deed increased my trophy percentage to 80%, so that does count towards the trophy.

    Hi Powerpyx.you can help me with a piece of information?I think I did more than 10 strange mission, and the trophy does not appear, and when I come to see in the social club at what level the trophy is, he got stuck at 50%.What can I do?

    I think there is another stranger mission which isn’t here but it’s called “Of Men And Angels”. Stumbled upon it after Arthur Finds out he has TB in chapter 6.
