Red Dead Redemption

[JADED]

JOURNAL, FREE ROAM

Spent hours doing the MASTER HUNTER & MASTER HUNTER II challenges.
Knifing a bear FTW. You can out run them, I had 5 chasing me so I had to shoot them.
Once they are worn down with a few knife wounds they become a bit sluggish.

The challenges are another way to level up, You even have one that says roll 25 times etc.. All adds up whilst still being fun..


PS, I went to tall trees looking for bears but another guy online showed me where they spawn, some Bear camping ground. It's awesome.

Game arrived two days ago and it angers me that I can't play it until after exams.

screw exams. RDR takes priority.

Had to kill 20 boars to get 5 tusks for the master hunter challenge. Frustrating!

Also apparently there's a haunted place called Tumble Weed or something.

Pretty interesting.

 

[dynamite_kid]

Tumble Weed is just a deserted town you visit in a mission.

Could be haunted, doubt it though.

 

[hawks_time]

Where the hell do you find 1 boar, let alone 20 boars? I spent like 20 minutes up in the hills north of Bonnies ranch and after having my horse killed twice by cougars and not sighting one boar I gave up.

Yeah, I don't think it's in TumbleWeed. Looking at the pics and stuff it looks like Bearclaw camp or whatever it was we were at the other night looking for bears to fight with.

It's around that area where the boar is on the map, as you say north of the ranch. Don't go too far east, as you saw, its cougartown. Just stick to the flatish area above the train tracks and hunt around the trees.

I basically just went back and forth waiting for them to spawn.

Seems to be more of them in the day time, esp just after dawn. Sometimes there's none, sometimes theres mobs of 4 of the pricks. If there's none there, ride back to the ranch, save, then come back.

You'll find boars, the mongrel is hardly any of em give you tusks

 

[Kerrby]

Yeah it's Tumbleweed that's haunted.

In the newspaper, it even says that Tumbleweed is haunted.

There's the things carved into the alter about the devil and in the mansion there's ghosts in the cellar or something.

Im not sure wtf just happened, a husband/wife tried to steal my horse, so I shot the bitch in the leg as a warning, then they tried again, so I ended them both... And it costs me 100 honour and I got a bounty for murder on my head...

WTF

Also, I accidentally shot GoldenBoy in the back of the head when having a shootout

Semi auto shotty is badarse.

You shouldn't have to help the Mexican ****ers, I'd rather kill them.

I really hate Herbert Moon. Why do you need to scream out "I'm Herbert Moooonnnnnnn!"

If you haven't accidently shot your horse, you haven't been playing long enough.

haha the other day i was reading people talking about shooting their horses and i was like, lulz n00bz. Then I did it 2hrs later and have a couple times more....
Also when I call for my horse to come i try to be cool and jump on it when it is running, but sometimes it just like gets out of the way (fair enough not to like run me down) but then i chase it and it keeps walking away, I just gotta be like
"PONYTA RETURN!"

 

[Ed_Gein]

I'm having fun doing all the stranger missions, but on the Lights, Camera, Action one i

Spoiler

accidently killed the guy you are meant to convince he isn't a gunslinger, so i've failed the mission.

so what happens there? I wouldn't mind the achievement for doing 15 stranger missions.

Also, for the Poppycock one i

Spoiler

want to keep the $1000, which means the mission fails if i do so

Any way around that one?

I would recommend buying the bandana, in situations like that you wouldn't have lost any honour and you can lose the police a lot faster when you remove the bandana while they are chasing you.

 

[Mancey]

So after taking 2 hours to kill 20 boars and get 5 tusks, i think, hmmm i'll go back there and kill some foxes and skunks, they were everywhere in those hills when i was hunting boars.

No foxes or skunks, but there was a roving mob of 7 boars. I kill them all out of frustration...5 have tusks. FML

Oh and knifed my 2 cougars, badass

 

[BigA.G]

I can never find more than 1 boar in the area with the boar symbol on the map. Any other areas?
Plenty of cougars though....

 

[Rockford]

Anyone have issues with the reporter stranger mission?

Spoiler

The guy you meet at the train station, there's a ? which is supposed to be him floating around above the treasure hunters hideout. Oh shit, is he in the mine?

It's random, sometimes heaps, sometimes none.

And until you unlock the last area, afaik, no, there is no other boar areas.

And yes rockford, you last assumption is correct. Good mission that

I've got it, but I didn't figure shooting a bitch who was trying to steal GoldenBoy would get me in trouble

Where do I find bears?

 

[Hopping Mad]

In West Elizibeth, in particular Tall Trees. They roam the place like seagulls... they're everywhere.

 

[King Elvis]

Is that New Austin or Mexico?

I'm gunna go shoot some bears in the face tonight then.
