Introduction
Welcome to the Red Dead Redemption 2 Trophy Guide! RDR2 is a massive project to platinum. There are 108 main missions, 21 stranger questlines, 70 of 104 gold medals are required, over 200 collectibles, 178 animals, 90 challenges, and reaching rank 50 in multiplayer. Rockstar threw in 4 missable trophies which are related to your camp from chapter 2 – 4 and for doing all optional (missable) story missions. The story takes roughly 50-60 hours to finish. Then you’ll have to replay missions for their gold medals and clean up the collectibles for 100% completion and lastly the animals. You can keep track of your progress on each trophy via Rockstar Social Club. There it shows you exactly the % you have earned towards each trophy.
Step 1: Missable Trophies, Optional Story Missions, Become Honorable, Gold Medals, Challenges
The first step is to play through the story (108 missions total). Along the way you must take great caution with the 4 missable trophies.
- Lending a Hand (Complete all optional Honor story missions): Some of the Story Missions are extremely easy to miss. Refer to the trophy description for “Lending a Hand” for a full list of required missions in chronological order, with quest giver and starting location. Keep an eye on that list as you play. The one that stands out the most is the Chapter 6 mission ‘Do Not Seek Absolution’ which requires Honor Level 4/8 to be played. Therefore, it’s super important you play honorably from the start. [*Note: In Patch 1.03 there is a lucky way to “cheat” the trophy if you missed it: After beating the story, replay the mission “Home Improvement for Beginners” (Epilogue) and the trophy unlocks instantly (regardless of how many honor missions you missed). But do go for all missions on your main playthrough regardless, in case this trick gets patched in a future update].
- Friends With Benefits (Complete a Companion Activity in each camp): For this you must do a random companion mission at camp in Chapters 2, 3, 4. Refer to the trophy description for all available events.
- Give to the Poor (Donate $250 to the gang tithing box): The Tithing Box disappears after Chapter 4 so you must do the trophy before then.
- Errand Boy (Deliver 5 camp companion item requests): Same as the other camp-related tasks, you must do this between Chapters 2 – 4. Refer to the trophy description for all available item requests and how to fulfill them.
If you did something dishonorable, reload the last save immediately. You can see your honor level by pressing . It must reach halfway to the right side (white color) in order to get access to all optional honor missions. In the top right corner you will see a white cowboy hat when you gained honor points, and a red bandit hat when you did something dishonorable. Refer to the Honor Guide for the best ways to increase honor and which story decisions affect it.
Also rob 4 Homesteads early on (trophy “Breaking and Entering”). The first chance is after Chapter 2 starts. There are limited homesteads and some are tied to companion activities, while others can become unavailable if you kill their owners without realizing. There are also a few missable weapons you should keep an eye on. Luckily you only need 48 of 62 weapons for the platinum so it’s no problem if you miss a few.
While working on Story Missions, try to go for the Gold Medals right away to reduce the number of replays. They are actually easier on your main playthrough because on replay you don’t have tonics and only basic weapons. The game doesn’t tell you the requirements on first playthrough but you can already do them if you know them. Refer to the Red Dead Redemption 2 Gold Medals Guide for all tasks.
You can also start working on the challenges. There are 9 of them (each has 10 tasks so 9×10 = 90 total). They are all needed for 100% completion and are found under Pause Menu > Progress > Challenges.
Make a manual save from time to time (Pause Menu > Story > Save Game). In case you missed something it allows you to jump back without having to start a new game from scratch.
Lastly, a quick note about “Skin Deep” & “Zoologist” (skin & study every animal): There are some animals exclusive to an island in Chapter 5 that you can’t go back to, but they are not needed for the trophies! You only need the animals from the main map. So if you missed the Chapter 5 animals you can still earn the trophies, refer to the trophy descriptions for more detail.
Step 2: 100% Completion
After the story it’s time to clean up everything for 100% completion. Most time will go into the 200+ Collectibles and 90 Challenges. You can keep track under Pause Menu > Progress > Total Completion.
See Red Dead Redemption 2 – 100% Guide & Checklist.
Step 3: All Animals
Interestingly, only 50 of 178 animals are required for 100% completion. So even though you’ve “completed” the game, you will still have 128 animals left to study and skin.
Step 4: Online
The online trophies are straightforward and will come naturally while going for Rank 50. The only thing you should keep in mind is to save up money for making a Permanent Posse ($200), for filling 5 stalls with horses ($1700), and for buying 5 camp upgrades ($250). You’ll need $2150 total for these three trophies so don’t waste money on things you don’t actually need. Money takes longer to earn in Multiplayer than it does in Singleplayer. Other than that, just enjoy the Multiplayer any way you see fit.

Lending a Hand Complete all optional Honor story missions. |
||
*HIGHLY MISSABLE*
This trophy requires you to do ALL optional (=missable) story missions in one playthrough! This includes the debt collecting quests. All of these are quests that you don’t have to do to advance the story, thus they are easy to miss. Some of them are marked with yellow main mission markers, others with white Stranger Mission markers. However, what differentiates them from Stranger Missions is that the “Optional Story Missions” get added to your mission log (Pause Menu > Progress > Story). The “real” Stranger Missions aren’t needed for it. It’s worth noting that after beating the story you unlock some of these missions in the Story Log and can replay them for medals but that does NOT unlock the trophy! You have to do them in a normal playthrough, it doesn’t count via replay. The most important part: You have to play honorably from the start and reach Honor Level 4 of 8 in Story Chapter 6. That’s because the Chapter 6 optional mission “Do Not Seek Absolution” requires Honor Level 4 to be played. Refer to the Honor Guide for the best ways to increase honor. Tip: Catching and releasing fish is the best way and doing bounties. In Chapter 6 you gain +50% honor. Also follow the story decisions in the Honor Guide to gain ranks quickly. Below is a list of all optional story missions that are required, in chronological order, with quest giver and starting location:
For an overview of All Story Missions in their correct unlock order, check out the Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Walkthrough. Do make a manual save from time to time (Pause Menu > Story > Save Game). In case you missed something it allows you to jump back without having to start a new game from scratch. After each chapter, check your story log (Pause Menu > Progress > Story) and make sure it didn’t add any undone missions to the bottom of the list. By default, the game makes missed missions available for replay so this is how you can track if you missed something (again, playing them from the replay menu does not count). EASY TRICK TO UNLOCK THIS TROPHY IF YOU MISSED IT: In Patch 1.03 there is a lucky way to “cheat” the trophy if you missed it; After beating the story, replay the mission “Home Improvement for Beginners” (Epilogue) and the trophy unlocks instantly (regardless of how many honor missions you missed). But do go for all missions on your main playthrough regardless, just in case this trick gets patched in a future update. (Credit to Reddit User JOEdrinksBEER for finding this trick). |

*MISSABLE*
This trophy is missable. You must complete 1 companion activity in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4. The trophy will unlock in Chapter 4 (the camps in later chapters are not needed for this). Below is a list of all the activities for each chapter. Do note that only 1 per chapter is needed, not all of them! So pick whatever shows up for you. These activities won’t always be there. If they aren’t, advance the story or sleep in your tent and try at a different daytime. You can also keep track of your trophy progress in Rockstar Social Club after each one to see if it counted or not. Playing table games with gang members doesn’t count. Also keep a manual save from the start of each chapter so you can go back in case you missed something. Chapter 2:

Artificial Intelligence Discover the fate of Marko Dragic. |
||
This trophy unlocks by doing the Stranger Mission Questline “A Bright Bouncing Boy” given by Marco Dragic in Saint Denis. Step 1: Go to the starting location and do Marco’s first mission “A Bright Bouncing Boy – I”. You must have reached Chapter 4 and it’s only available at day. Step 2: Sleep until night and Marco’s next mission should pop up in the top-right corner of the map “A Bright Bouncing Boy – II”. This is only available at night! If it doesn’t spawn right away, sleep a few more nights and make sure you got that part of the map uncovered. There you find a building with a big tower. The front door is closed but you can go through the backdoor and meet Marco Dragic inside. Then you have to help him put 3 rods in the ground to gather electricity from lightning. Step 3: After 2 days return to Marco Dragic’s lab from the last quest. He will be dead on the floor and the trophy will pop. You can make a camp via the item wheel and sleep to advance time. After sleeping twice, you must wait 5 minutes (real time) before you can sleep again. As soon as you see Marco dead on the floor in his lab, the trophy unlocks. You can also pick up his electric lantern as a reward. |
||
Take From the Rich Rob or loot $250. |
||
Make sure you always loot dead bodies during the story. Some main mission targets keep over $100 with them. The average enemy only has a few cents, sometimes a few dollars. It’s gonna take a while but should unlock later into the story. Just be sure to loot everyone. | ||
Give to the Poor Donate $250 to the gang tithing box. |
||
*MISSABLE*
In your camp you have a donation box only in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4. Getting $250 is easy enough, you get well over $1000 from some story missions. To get this trophy you must donate $250 combined (not at once). You can also donate valuable items to the tithing box, which are acquired from looting dead enemies. These add towards the $250 as well. Do note, however, that donations from other gang members don’t count. You must put in $250 yourself. After Chapter 4 there is no tithing box anymore and this trophy becomes unobtainable. Be sure to do it before then. |
||
Pony Up Spend $5000 across all shops. |
||
First, you’ll want to amass $5000 (you get $20,000 automatically for completing the story). Then make a manual Save under Pause Menu > Story > Save Game. Now spend all your money at any type of shop (Stables and Gunsmiths are the fastest way to spend $5000). After the trophy pops, go back into Pause Menu > Story > Load Game and reload your manual save to get the money back. You can also make it work with ~$3500. Just go to a Stables, buy all horses and resell them immediately to get part of your money back. You can do the same tactic in General Stores and immediately sell back what you bought. |
||
Extreme Personality Reach maximum or minimum Honor level. |
||
This trophy cannot be earned until you’ve completed Chapter 5 Main Mission “Paradise Mercifully Escaped”! Since there isn’t much to affect your honor in Chapter 5, the first realistic shot at this is in Chapter 6 or after beating the story (in Chapter 6 you gain +/- 50% Honor for all actions).
You can see your current honor by pressing (the red / white bar at bottom of screen). The bar must reach the left side (dishonorable) or the right side (honorable). Being dishonorable is easier. Just kill everyone you encounter and cause a lot of havoc. When you see random people on the roads, kill and loot them. However, you should make a manual save beforehand to reload and have your honor back. One of the optional story missions in Chapter 6 “Do Not Seek Absolution” for trophy “Lending a Hand” requires you to have Honor Level 4. It would be hard to come back from a dishonorable score and you’d miss out on that trophy. Honor affects prices in stores and how some people react to you. If you want to unlock all outfits you should keep high honor as it’s a requirement to purchase certain outfits and to unlock certain optional missions. If you want to go the honorable route, catching and releasing fish adds a lot, and after the story you can replay daily quests at the Beecher’s Hope Farm. This is much more grindy than being evil though (also see the Honor Guide for other options). |
||
Western Stranger Complete 10 Stranger mission strands. |
||
Strangers are the givers of side quests. There are more than 10 of them (in total 26 of which 22 count towards this trophy). It only counts when you complete their full questlines from start to end (not just their first quest). They all give you a series of quests. You can still play their quests after the story. To keep track of your progress, check under Pause Menu > Progress > Total Completion > Strangers. The trophy unlocks later than it should for some reason. It can take 12+ stranger mission strands to pop it. Even if it says 10/10 in Rockstar Social Club, just keep doing more stranger questlines and it will unlock!
Refer to the guide below for all their locations and walkthroughs: » Red Dead Redemption 2 – Stranger Missions Walkthrough & Red Dead Redemption 2 – All Stranger Locations Map |
||
Bountiful Survive 3 days holding a bounty of $250 in all states. |
||
Getting $250 bounty is quite easy. Go to the major towns and start shooting people. When the lawmen come, shoot them too. Repeat until you have $250 bounty on your head (as is displayed on the world map) and then ride to the next state.
There are 5 States in Red Dead Redemption 2:
During the story you only need to get a $250 bounty in the first 4 states. In New Austin you have $250 bounty automatically until reaching the Epilogue. After the story you must also get a bounty in the fifth state New Austin. The Bounty stays on your head permanently until you pay it off at the post office. You should create a Manual Save before doing this (Pause Menu > Story > Save Game). This is because you don’t want to lose your Honor Levels as it will lock you out of missions for the trophy “Lending a Hand” (complete all optional honor missions). The only tricky region is Ambarino because there are no towns there. Simply kill a random person, pack them on the back of your horse, ride to Ambarino and wait on the road until someone comes riding along. They will see the corpse and alert the Lawmen. Then 3 waves of Lawmen will come to hunt you down. Kill them and repeat the process. After you got $250 bounty in all 5 regions, you can sleep to skip time for 3 days. Sleep twice in a row, then you must wait 5-10 minutes (real time) before you can sleep again. Keep sleeping until the trophy unlocks. |
||
Collector’s Item Complete one of the Collectable strands. |
||
» Red Dead Redemption 2 Collectibles Guide
There are 4 “Collectible Strands” that count for this (only the ones that are tied to Stranger Missions): 144 Cigarette Cards, 30 Dinosaur Bones, 10 Rock Carvings, Exotic Objects. You only need to complete one of four. The Rock Carvings are the fastest. For 100% completion you will need all of them though. |
||
Paying Respects Find the graves of each of your fallen companions. |
||
» Red Dead Redemption 2 – All Grave Locations
The graves can only be found after having finished the story. There are 9 of them in total. They can be collected in any order and are also needed for 100% completion. See the above guide for their spots. |
||
Errand Boy Deliver 5 camp companion item requests. |
||
*MISSABLE*
This is only possible in Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4. Make sure you get this before completing Chapter 4. While you’re at your gang’s camp, people will randomly come up to you and give you item requests of stuff they want. This is somewhat random so spend a lot of time in the camp and socialize with your crew to get more requests. You need to progress a little bit into Chapter 2 and play a main mission with each camp member so that more requests are offered to you. Luckily, there are much more than 5 requests. Below is a list of all requests with the chapters, request givers, and where to get the item. Do this as early as possible! Also, the requests are generally only given at day between 8:00 – 20:00. So don’t try this in the middle of the night. Some of the request items can be very random so stick to what’s straightforward and easy to locate. Chapter 2 (from 8:00 – 20:00):

It’s Art Find a permanent home for the squirrel statue. |
||
This is only possible after beating the story!
Step 1: Finish the Story (complete Epilogue Part 2). Step 2: Do All 5 Hunting Requests for Ms. Hobbs (you can already start working on these as early as chapter 2 but the last one isn’t available until Epilogue Part 1). They are on Posters inside the Train Stations at the following towns: Valentine, Saint Denis, Rhodes, Van Horn, Strawberry, Armadillo. You go inside the train station where the post office is and look for the poster on the wall, pull it down to see the hunting request. It then gets added to your Satchel (hold and find it under documents). You must then deliver the requested animals in perfect condition to the post office and mail them to Ms. Hobbs! It’s absolutely vital that the carcasses are in perfect condition (3 stars), otherwise they won’t be accepted. See Hunting Requests Guide. Step 3: After completing 5 Hunting Requests, Ms. Hobbs sends you an invite to her hut (in the post office). It is in the top right of Strawberry. She will award you with the Squirrel Statue for your hard work! Step 4: Head to your farm Beecher’s Hope near Blackwater (only available after story, this is why you had to beat the story first). Step 5: Place the statue above the fireplace. Step 6: Advance time for one day and the statue should be gone (if not, advance time as often as you need). Someone in the house stole it. You must then find the statue again and put it back above the fireplace and repeat this procedure of sleeping and finding it again until you find it at its sixth location. After putting it back above the fireplace always sleep for 24 hours so it gets stolen again. The statue locations are as follows:

Self Sufficient Craft 30 unique items in Story Mode. |
||
While out in the wilderness, hold for a few seconds and then press to enter the crafting menu.
You can also make a camp via the item wheel, rest at the camp and craft things there. You earn some recipes automatically from the story, others are bought from fences, and yet others are automatically available after getting the meat of certain animals so you can cook it over the campfire. |
||
Skin Deep Skin every species of animal in Story Mode. |
||
There are 178 animals. You can keep track under Pause Menu > Progress > Compendium > Animals. You must kill and skin all of the skinnable ones (only about half of them can be skinned, i.e. the animals with pelts. Small animals and birds that can only be “collected” or “plucked” aren’t needed – but keep in mind that bigger birds are skinnable).
There is one missable lion from a stranger mission but it’s not needed because it doesn’t get added to the compendium. Only animals in compendium count for this. » Red Dead Redemption 2 All Animal Locations *Note: You can’t go back to the chapter 5 island “Guarma”. Some animals only live there but aren’t needed for “Skin Deep” or “Zoologist”. There are multiple confirmations on this. The animals exclusive to Chapter 5’s Guarma island (which are not needed and can be skipped) are: the 3 native Guarma parrots = Blue & Yellow Macaw, Scarlet Macaw, Great Green Macaw, the 4 native Guarma snakes = Sunglow Boa, Rainbow Boa, Red Boa and Fer-De-Lance, and lastly the other native Guarma bird = Red-Footed Booby. The rest of the Guarma animals does spawn on the main map: “Cuban Land Crab” & “Green Iguana” spawn on the main map, on the largest of the islands in the Flat Iron Lake on the East side of the lake and directly West of Rhodes just off the shore. *Big thanks to EphemeralEcho for initially figuring out all the missable Chapter 5 animals and DOM098652 for figuring out they do not affect the trophy. |
||
Zoologist Study every animal across all states in Story Mode. |
||
There are 178 animals. You can keep track under Pause Menu > Progress > Compendium > Animals.
You must study all of them. You can use binoculars to look at them when you’re close enough and press to study them. You also need to kill and skin them for the “Skin Deep” trophy. Tracking them is not required for either trophy so you don’t need 100% on each animal in the compendium. Just fulfill the “study” requirement by looking at the animal through binoculars and press to study. Studying just one per species is not enough (e.g. there are multiple pigs but you need all possible sub-species for this!). There is one missable lion from a stranger mission but it’s not needed because it doesn’t get added to the compendium. Only animals in compendium count for this. » Red Dead Redemption 2 All Animal Locations *Note: You can’t go back to the chapter 5 island “Guarma”.

It was THIS Big! Catch a fish weighing at least 16 lbs (7.3 kg). |
||
You will unlock this automatically while catching all 13 Legendary Fish (which are required for 100% completion). | ||
Locked and Loaded Upgrade each available component for a single sidearm or longarm weapon. |
||
Go to any Gunsmith (marked on map in towns), for example there’s one in Valentine. Look at the Gunsmith with and hold “Customize”. Select any weapon > “Components” > Change every Component. For example the basic Double-Action Revolver has these 4 Components: Grip, Barrel Length, Barrel Rifling, Iron Sights. It costs a few dollars to change these but you can make a manual save beforehand and reload it afterward to reset the money (Pause Menu > Story > Save Game / Load Game). |
||
Grin and Bear it Survive 18 bear attacks and kill the bear each time in Story Mode. |
||
In the wilderness, when you encounter a bear you must let it grab you. Then quickly press to escape before it instant-kills you. While you’re on the ground you have a short moment to shoot the bear. You must kill it during this phase. Always let the bear grab you, break free, kill it before getting back up.
Bears can spawn in many places but it’s a bit random. When you’ve found a bear spot, try farming it by sleeping to advance time (can make a camp via the item wheel). Pick a weapon that does a lot of damage and use express ammo (the best is the fully upgraded “Carbine Repeater” + Express ammo). We’ll go through it step by step. Step 1: Fully upgrade the weapon “Carbine Repeater” at a Gunsmith and buy Express ammo for it (also from Gunsmith). You get the Carbine Repeater automatically during Chapter 1. Equip the weapon so it’s ready to shoot and make sure you select the Express Ammo in weapon wheel. Step 2: Go to a bear hunting spot. 1) This here is the recommended spot (between Wallace Station & Watson’s Cabin): Here are some alternative spots where bears may spawn: 2) Just east of the Legendary Bear hunting spot. 3) At Barrow Lagoon. Bears spawn mostly in the morning or at noon. You can make a camp from the item wheel to advance time. Evening and Night is not recommended because of lower spawn rates. Step 3: Make sure you’re on foot, not on your horse. When the bear sees you, it will come charging right at you. This results in a mini QTE in which you must press very fast to break free. After breaking free there’s a short moment to shoot the bear, very quickly tap to blast it in the face with your Carbine Repeater Express Ammo. It will die in 1-3 shots to the face. You have to kill it during this animation! It won’t count if you just shoot the bear from afar. It absolutely has to be during this QTE sequence and weak weapons won’t kill the bear quick enough so use the recommended combo of Carbine Repeater + Express Ammo for best results. Step 4: Farm the same spot. To do this, get away from the area (ride away for 30-60 seconds, the further you get away the better the chance the bear will respawn). Then make a camp from the item wheel and sleep for one day until morning or noon. Return to the spot and check for the bear. There’s roughly a ~30% chance for it to respawn. If it’s not there, blow yourself up with some dynamite and check again. If still nothing, either sleep again until it spawns or make a Manual Save > Exit Game > Continue (you find these options under Pause Menu, Story). Each time you exit and continue it cycles through the animal spawns in the area so this can help getting a new bear to spawn. If not, just sleep again. It can sometimes take 15-20 minutes of advancing time, blowing yourself up with dynamite and exiting the game. If you have absolutely no luck, move on to the next bear hunting spot. The rest is just repeating Step 4. Getting new bears to spawn and killing them with the Carbine Repeater + Express Ammo combo when they attack you (during the QTE sequence). You can keep track of your trophy progress in Rockstar Social Club! This whole ordeal will take 5-10 hours, due to the randomness of the bear spawn rates. |

Trusty Steed Reach max bonding level with a horse. |
||
You can see your horse bonding level under Pause Menu > Player > Horse > Bonding. Reaching Bonding Level 4 (the maximum) will unlock this trophy.
Here’s how to improve the horse bonding:
You can cheat this a bit by using the Automatic Horse Travel (Autopilot) to let your horse ride up and down the map. If you stick with the same horse through most of the story, this will come automatically. Just don’t let your horse die. If you lose it, go get it back from the stables. It takes a few hours to reach maximum bonding level. After the story you still got a lot of collectibles to find so you can combine it there as well. |
||
Breakout Red Dead Online: Complete the Intro. |
||
This is the first online trophy that you’ll earn. It unlocks after returning from the first co-op mission “Honor Among Horse Thieves” back to your camp. A guy called Cripps is waiting in your camp and triggers a cutscene, after which this trophy will unlock. This also opens up the rest of the Multiplayer. You can’t miss any of this since the intro consists of a few predefined missions that you must do to unlock the rest of Multiplayer. | ||
Series Major Red Dead Online: Take part in a Series. |
||
After having finished the Tutorial, at any time you can open the Pause Menu > Online > Showdown Series / Showdown Series Large / Race Series. Join one of these 3 match types. The trophy pops after the match (not right away upon joining). | ||

In Online mode, you can find Free Roam missions on the map marked by an orange icon . These are mostly found in towns. Do 10 of these to unlock the trophy.
You can keep track of this under Pause Menu > Progress > Awards > Free Roam > Complete Free Roam missions from 10 characters. |
||
Eventful Red Dead Online: Play 5 Free Roam Events. |
||
While in Free Roam, you will randomly get invited to “Free Roam Events” from time to time. They will show up as purple text in the top left corner and you need to hold the Options-Button to join . You need to be quick to accept the invite before the Event starts. These events usually last for about 10 minutes and have mixed objectives where you compete against a large group of other players. Just play a lot in Free Roam and always accept these purple events when you get invited to them. You don’t need to win, just play the event to the end. | ||
Buckle Up Red Dead Online: Achieve 5 gold belt buckles from awards. |
||
There are 425 Awards in Online Mode. You can view them and keep track of each one’s progress under Pause Menu > Awards > Select an Award Category. They are mostly just a sort of progression tracker for having done an action multiple times. You need the gold buckle in each one, which is the highest achievable tier (think of it as a gold medal). Now luckily, these aren’t hard at all, just time-consuming, and you only need 5 ouf 425 available awards!
Here are the easiest ones, pick the five that you like best:
|
||
The Real Deal Red Dead Online: Achieve MVP 3 times (in a round with at least 4 players). |
||
To be the MVP (Most Valuable Player) you need to be the overall best performing player who gets featured at the end of the match. After each match there’s a short scene that shows who was MVP. Now generally that will be whoever had the highest score and was at the top of the leaderboard, but this isn’t always the case. For example, in the capture mode, even if you placed third on the scoreboard but you managed to make the most captures, you might still be displayed as the MVP. You also don’t necessarily have to be on the winning team, either (in team matches). If you were the individual who the game deems to have been the “most valuable” you will get featured at the end. Just try to get the highest overall score to increase the odds. What’s important is that there at least 4 players in the match, which will always be the case in public matches (you don’t need to be in a 4-player posse for it, just 4 total players in the match). This is the only skill-relevant online trophy for which you actually need to be a decent player, but on the way to Rank 50 it will very likely come naturally. It’s easier to do this in the standard Showdown Series as it has only 16 players (Large Showdown Series has 32 players). | ||
Horses for Courses Red Dead Online: Concurrently own 5 horses. |
||
You must first unlock 5 stalls at the stables and then buy 5 horses. One is unlocked from the start, the other 4 need to be unlocked with money.
Total: $1500 for all Stalls. Next you must also purchase horses for each. You get a free horse from the online tutorial. You can buy the 4 cheapest “Kentucky Saddlers” which cost $50 each ($200 total). Total money needed for this trophy is $1700. |
||
Getting Started Red Dead Online: Reach Rank 10. |
||
Self-explanatory. See trophy “Notorious”. | ||
Notorious Red Dead Online: Reach Rank 50. |
||
Self-explanatory. Play through the online story, play matches (accessed via the Pause Menu > Online > select a Series to participate in), and do Free Roam Missions to increase your level. Luckily, we only need to reach Rank 50 of 100 so it’s “only” halfway up to max rank. To reach Rank 50 you need a total of 175,300 XP.
For the best XP Exploit (7,000+XP per hour) see this: Red Dead Redemption 2 Online: Fastest XP Exploit / Glitch *Thanks to Waraneasy for this method |
||
All’s Fair Red Dead Online: Successfully counter a rival Posse’s Free Roam mission. |
||
In online free roam you will get notified when a rival Posse has started a Free Roam Mission near you. Stay close to towns where these mission icons are (and also check that there are posse leaders in the area, represented by a star-icon on the map whereas solo players are displayed as dots). Keep in mind that not every mission can be countered by rivals (especially the assassination missions). The ones from train stations work best for it so stay near those! E.g. wait around the train station of Valentine, Rhodes, Blackwater or Saint Denis (wherever the most posse leaders with a star-icon are). When a rival posse leader accepts such a mission you get a red on-screen notification to attack them. Your goal then is to prevent the enemy posse from completing their objective. If you succeed in doing this (causing the enemy to fail their mission), you will unlock the trophy. You are allowed to play solo yourself, you don’t have to be in a posse with other players for it to work. However, if another posse lands the final blow it won’t unlock, you have to do it (because multiple gangs can try to prevent the same mission it may give them the trophy but not you).
How to boost this trophy:
|
||
Home Comforts Red Dead Online: Purchase 5 camp improvements. |
||
Go to your camp and talk to Cripps (after having finished the online tutorial). You need to look at Cripps with and hold to see the camp improvements. Buy 5 of them. The easiest and cheapest option is to buy 5 different flag colors. Each costs $50 so that’s $250 total. The flag colors are unlocked from the start (after online tutorial). One player reported having to buy 5 flags at once to pop the trophy, without leaving the purchase menu (and that’s what I did too when I did it). So to be safe, it’s recommended you save up $250 first and buy 5 flags in a row without leaving the purchase menu. | ||
Non-Regulation Red Dead Online: Craft 25 pieces of ammunition. |
||
First you will need ammunition recipes. They can be bought from fences but require you to rank up first. You can then hold to Rest > to Craft > to switch to ammunition. Craft 25 total pieces of any ammunitions. You can craft the same one multiple times (doesn’t have to be 25 different ones).
You can keep track of this under Pause Menu > Progress > Awards > Survivalist > Craft items (remember to check this number before you start to deduct already crafted items). |
||
Posse Up Red Dead Online: Form a Persistent Posse. |
||
First you must finish the Online Tutorial to unlock the function to create a Posse. You also need $200 to start a Persistent Posse! Once you have done that, press > Posse > Form a Posse > Type: Persistent > Form a Posse. The difference between a Temporary and Persistent Posse is that the Persistent one costs $200 to open and acts as a permanent clan. The trophy pops instantly upon creating the posse, no need to invite any members to it. | ||
Master Craftsman Red Dead Online: Craft 20 items (excluding ammo). |
||
The easiest way is to cook animal meat over the camp’s fire. You can cook the same meat multiple times and each piece of meat will count towards the trophy (does NOT have to be 20 different types of “items”). So just go hunting and skin animals for their meat. Now head to your camp. If you forgot where it is, relocate your camp from the item wheel (hold and select a new campsite near you). Head there, press over the campfire to start “crafting”. After cooking the meat be sure to eat it right away. For some reason it counts as 2 items crafted when you eat it (thus you only need 10 meat). If you stow it in your satchel it only counts as one item crafted, if you eat it counts as two items crafted.
You can keep track of this under Pause Menu > Progress > Awards > Survivalist > Craft items (remember to deduct crafted ammo from the total). |
||
Butchered Red Dead Online: Sell 20 items to the Butcher. |
||
You can find Butchers in Valentine, Strawberry, Blackwater, Rhodes, Saint Denis, Tumbleweed. Kill animals in the wilderness and skin them. Then bring 20 animal loot to the Butcher and sell them to him. You can also bring him the skinned animal carcasses as they can be sold in addition to the skinned resources. You don’t have to sell him 20 different items. It can be the same item multiple times (e.g. some animals give you 3 x the same meat and each piece of meat counts towards this trophy).
Note: Make sure you skin the animals first, this gives you way more sellable items (multiple pieces of meat, feathers, skins, antlers etc.) than just selling the carcass in one piece! Most large animals give you 5-6 items so this can be done really quickly and the materials will be stored in your satchel until you sell them. For example, in Valentine, ride out of town, kill a bunch of animals, skin them, and sell everything to the Valentine Butcher (this trophy only takes 5 minutes). |
||
Picked to Perfection Red Dead Online: Pick 25 Herbs. |
||
The trophy description for this is a bit misleading. You just need to pick any 25 plants in the wildneress, it doesn’t have to be “herbs”. Mushrooms, Berries, Flowers etc. also count for this. Any plant that you can pick up will add towards this trophy. To see them more easily, use eagle vision + . This will highlight plants with some blue “dust” around them. So just walk around and pick up any plant you come across.
You can keep track of this under Pause Menu > Progress > Awards > Survivalist > Pick Herbs. |
||
Strength in Numbers Red Dead Online: Complete a Free Roam mission as part of a Posse with at least 2 members. |
||
You can either make a Posse to invite others or join an existing Posse.
The best option is to make one yourself. After having finished the Tutorial you can press > Posse > > Form a Posse. In the same menu click “Invite to Posse” and just invite everyone on the server (or press to switch to invite friends). Now head to a Free Roam Mission and complete it (marked on the map with orange icon). If nobody joins, you can press > Online > Posse Up, to join a random Posse. |

Changelog:
2018-10-27: Linked to a separate more in-depth honor guide that also includes story decisions that let you gain honor.
2018-10-29: Added a link to overview of all story missions so you can keep track when each of the optional honor missions unlocks. Added Pouring Forth Oil II as a missable mission, but it’s not technically an honor mission so doesn’t affect Lending a Hand (but better safe than sorry).
2018-10-29: The miniquest “Of Men and Angels” in Chapter 6 is confirmed to be needed for “Lending a Hand”.
2018-11-06: Added remaining Errand item locations & added some extra info to “Grin and Bear it”
2018-11-12: Added a way how you can “cheat” the missable Lending a Hand trophy if you missed it.
2018-11-27: Red Dead Online went live, the online trophies have now been added to the guide.
Teaspiracy says
For the island potential missables, could mission replay be a workaround?
Timo says
In the beginning of the game when you enter your first camp. You can Go to dutch and he asks to get a pipe gor him.
Is it possible to get the pipe so ezelt in the game?
Burt says
You know what would be really handy for “Lending a Hand”, a list of final missions for each chapter so you cant accidentally finish the last mission for your current chapter.
PowerPyx says
Check the trophy description again, I just added that in 30 minutes ago 🙂
Eva says
Hey, great guide.
Regarding Chapter 6 : ‘Of Angels and Men’ when does this pop up? I’ve tried loading previous saves at various points in chapter 6, sleeping for days, waiting for days.
Also tried visiting the area, after ive finished the story hoping to see it. No luck.
Can you confirm its only available in chapter 6? And when/ how to start?
(Yes, i did the previous quest) This is the last one i need for the trophy.
Batista says
I think you should remove the pigs from the Guarma list because they can also be found on the mainland, at least thats says in their description. You should check out on the cuban land crab as well, I’m personally not sure if you can find it on the mainland but I’m stuck on Guarma because of the Fer-De-Lance Snake wich seems to be the most bugged animals in the entire game.
weenerville says
Hi i have the guide and it states the only misable trophies are,
Friends with benefits
Errand boy
Breaking and entering
Give to the poor
Lending a hand.
Braden says
Great guide! Some stranger mission threads disappeared for me after completing the game. Not sure if there’s a way to get then back or not.
PowerPyx says
Do you know which ones disappeared for you?
Do keep in mind some strangers only show up at day or at night. So trying at a different daytime can fix this.
iPegisteri says
will I be able to get the platinum because my legendary bison glitched and i wasn`t able to skin it so do I have to start a second playtrough and skin all the animals again?
Nickshady94 says
The 6th and last location of the squirrel statue (it’s art trophy) is at the top of mount shann.
James says
What really sucks is I invested tons of hours roaming and doing side objectives, when literally an hour ago I find out about the missing campers glitch! I looked at what caused it and somehow my game did it without all that. Had no idea! Mine is worse then what is stated! Charles isn’t there to hunt. John and whole family is gone. Only companion I can do is lenny’s five finger filet! Now he is gone cause of randomness. I refuse to restart and lose 20 hours of gameplay. If lennys 5 finger filet doesnt count I have to wait for rockstar to patch the game! Time to finally play shadow of the tomb raider!
dom clark says
go to the area you’ve shown,
thought i’d share with you what i did for the grin and bear it trophy, it took me about an hour and a half to get all 18 survival kills.
go to your recommended spot (no1)
camp, sleep twice, save game, exit game (through story menu) & reload game will allow you to sleep again. then sleep twice (on second sleep, sleep till morning or noon) the bear will spawn in the area.
this was taking me 4-5 minutes, to find and kill a bear. & it always spawned too.
about half way throough i found it spawns most frequently near a chimney (to the left of the wallace station name on the map. & if you kill the bear , save and exit, upon reloading it spawns your camp right near the chimney, so i’d often load up after that 4th sleep and look to my right and see a bear. it was making it about 3 mins each time.
give this a shot yourself, if it works for you too, that turns a 5-10 hour trophy into an hour and a half one.
John says
Hi there appreciate for your all efforts
Thank you so much
I just wanted to know when you are going to add guidance about animals??
Bill says
Im pretty sure 100% completion is missable for bounties if you mess up. All bounties held by the player in chapter 6 not finished are lost if not completed in that chapter
PowerPyx says
I could do all bounties just fine after the story. However, I had not accepted them before. Can’t you just accept them again or maybe they are still in your satchel and can be read again? There are also more than the 5 bounties that you need for 100%.
Bill says
No. Wanted posters are removed from your satchel after chapter 6 if you have any and they seem to not come back. In fact it seems no more posters are spawning. Stuck at 3\5
Akeem says
Thanks for all the hard work put into this guide. Love this game and this guide is a tremendous help so far.
Mark Vercetti says
Can The real deal MVP 3 times be boosted in anyway or form
Dean says
I’ve trying to 100% the game and noticed that I’m full health, stamina and dead eye but it’s not checked off on the completion list. Do you know why?
Mark says
Lending a hand trophy. Got this trophy following the guide. But missed brothers and sisters all in one, chapter 6! Shit myself on second play through. Then did the SA mission and trophy popped. I also nearly didn’t do this mission, because I was going to give up after realising I missed one! Lucky I didn’t!
Stu says
What makes this a 6/10 difficulty in your opinion? What are the harder tasks?
PowerPyx says
The gold medals (see “Hardest Trophy” in Roadmap).
For gold medals you must do ALL requirements in one playthrough of the mission. Some have 6 tasks. No way will you get all 70 gold on first run. Will take 2-4 tries with most missions.
Animal spawns are also somewhat random so getting all 178 of them will take some luck and patience.
Santanico13 says
You will get the trophy for the legendary fish (automatically) if you follow the hunting quests (side quest) for the veteran with one leg. Forgot his name. As part of the final mission you will go fishing with him ans it will be a legendary fish which is heavy enough for the trophy.
Juliano Movio says
WTF Bro?
Lol
Tks for the guide already.
Andrei says
Thanks a lot for such great work, as always!
You have been helping me with trophies since the PS3 era!
Aldex says
Fantastic job as usual PowerPyx ?
I have one question though, does the game state when a new chapter begins and what mission will lead into the next one, or is it more seamless?
PowerPyx says
It’s seamless, there is no warning beforehand.
Shane Hanna says
I have completed the game. I have one challenge left on explorer to find a challenge. I have done all maps except the high stakes treasure map and have followed your video. Is it true that this guy cannot be found when u complete the game??
PowerPyx says
Worked for me after story. It’s just random.
p789cs says
200hrs single player..
GOTY game
Lulzabye says
IF you go for every single achievement. Otherwise, if you just play through the main story, it’s 60 hours. Read.
Eisenkhan says
I’m extremely impressed with the work you have put into this guide and it’s companions. Thank you very much.
Embrace says
I second that ?
LukasOxik says
I just want to be sure for the trophie “Friends With Benefits” if I understand this, in chapters 2,3 and 4 i need just complete 1 activy no all of them in that chapter. for example if I do in chapter 3 Sean activity I dont need to Bill activity aswell and i will get trophie? If I will repeat this steps in other chapters
PowerPyx says
Only ONE activity per chapter is needed (NOT all of them).
So you do:
1 x activity Chapter 2
1 x activity Chapter 3
1 x activity Chapter 4
It can be any one of the listed activities so you can choose whatever is available.
KIERONOO says
Great guide. One question though does the game tell you how many gold medals you have and which missions you got them?
PowerPyx says
Yes you can see it in the story log (press ) to toggle between mission lore and medal requirements.
PowerPyxForPresident says
Going to use this guide a lot. Thanks PowerPyx for helping me out a lot through the years! Is PowerPyx a team or just one person?
PowerPyx says
Love the name lol^^
Everything posted under “PowerPyx” username is me. But there are some friends helping me out here on the website with story missions / stranger missions etc. for the wiki. I’m focusing on the trophy guide and collectibles.
The YouTube channel is just me solo.
Chakris Onniselkä says
Hi Pyx , I wonder if you will make a video for “Lending a Hand” trophy?
PowerPyx says
Didn’t really have it planned. I dunno yet, focusing on collectibles / animals for now.
J says
Thanks a lot for the guide PP! Great as always and it’s amazing to have this on time before release.
Bummer about the 4 missable trophies though, I hate them in open world games.
Fahad M says
When to upload on YouTube 4 MISSABLE Trophies ?
dj batfink says
Nice Guide, is the “200 Hours Singleplayer” correct or just an estimate, if so that’s amazing 🙂
PowerPyx says
I’ve spent over 100 hours so far and not even close, but for you guys it will be faster with guide.
Story is roughly 60h with moderate exploration (for me it took around 40h gameplay and 10h cutscenes but I rushed it).
Then for gold medals you gotta replay missions a few times. Some gold medals will take multiple tries, but you don’t have to ride to the mission (can start it directly from quest log). Maybe 30-40h for that, depends on how many you got on first try. So far that’s roughly 100h.
Now comes the collectibles. The map is HUGE and riding from one piece to the next takes a while.
Now comes the worst part: animals and legendary fish. The animals are somewhat random (but have defined living spaces where they can spawn). Also the 18 bear attacks, missable trophies, hunting requests, exotics quests, stranger quests, 90 challenges, robberies… the exploration part takes 100h.
So we have 100h story + medals & 100h for the rest.
=200h.
Dro Mora says
I know this is late, but I recently finished every single player trophy, and my Rockstar account states I played 155 hours. I know that I could have got it done quicker if I would have used a guide from the beginning. The first half of this was me just exploring animals and herbs and all other collectibles on my own. If you use a guide from the start, I think this could be completed in about 120-130 hours. Now the multiplayer on the other hand is a royal pain since the XP glitch was patched. I have been playing for 10 days at roughly 3 hours per day and am only at level 20. it looks like i’m going to need another 30 days or so at the same amount of time per day to get to level 50, so I’m going to estimate online as roughly 120 hours. I’m going to be over 270 hours when all is said and done for platinum. Thanks.
Dro Mora says
Okay so finally got the platinum this morning. Started the game on 11/13/18 and finished on 3/26/19 averaging about 1.6 hours per day every day. The single player took me 155 hours and the multiplayer took me 65 hours for a total of 220 hours. I did not use any glitches or bugs. Thank you Powerpyx for all of your help with achieving this. If anyone else needs help with any trophies feel free to add me (dro2020) and I can provide my tips.
TrophyGrinder says
PP, just to be clear there are no missables in chapter 1, right?
Also, great work your dedication is amazing.
PowerPyx says
Correct, nothing is missable in Chapter 1.
Ryan says
You are my hero. You probably got the game early and that’s how it’s possible to have made this list, but still this was incredibly fast. Thank you so much for all the work you guys do. Only started trophy hunting since AC Origins and since then collected 8 platinums thanks to your guides, hopefully this will be number 9. Already made this my homepage on my laptop cause I imagine I’ll be coming here often. Once again, thanks for the excellent work!
PowerPyx says
Thanks for the nice words Ryan, that makes me very happy 🙂
Tk3090 says
Hey pp i have a question do you know if you can do the missable trophies while replaying missions also is there a replayable chapter option
Mitch2161998 says
No and no, if you miss one youll have to start again (unless rockstar add it as an update)
Erkawest/PSNP says
Nice guide!
I have 2 questions though;
1. It says you have to donate $250 combined (not in one go), does that mean you can donate i.e. 200+50 for the trophy?
2. You say that only 50/178 animals are needed for 100%, but in the trophy description it says to skin all 178 animals. Which one is correct?
PowerPyx says
1. correct, you can also donate 5 x $50 (or whatever other small amounts)
2. The trophies for 178 animals go beyond 100%. So you have a 100% trophy but in the checklist the tasks are very forgiving and not require full completion at all. I explain it in more depth in the 100% guide (if you want to take a look), but basically, you only need a fraction of everything for 100% (it’s more like a tutorial for doing every task a few times). Only thing you need everything of for 100% is the collectibles.
So for 100% trophy only 50 animals. For the other 2 trophies you need ALL animals. Hope that makes more sense now 🙂
Rrobinvip says
HI
Thanks for the guide!
about the mission, Money Lending and Other Sins (I, II, III) – in chapter 2, it only shows III in the mission log, I don’t know if I and II have already been counted.
And then for ” We Loved Once and True (I, II, III) “– Quest Giver: ML (read letter in Arthur’s tent to start this) in Chapter 2, I didn’t see any letter in Arthur’s tent, do you mind give me more details?
Thanks!
PowerPyx says
You must keep playing the story to unlock the letter in the tent.
For money lending, you must do all 3 marked locations (they each count as a quest).
kantera says
Hello
Thank you very much for the guide. I have a small question. I want to rob 4 Homesteads as soon as possible to get the trophy ou of the way (like stated in guide) but I also don’t want to mess up my honor level. Does robbing Homesteads decrease my honor level?
Thanks in advance!
PowerPyx says
It depends what you do with the inhabitants. Killing them does lower your honor.
But going sneaky / non-lethal will be fine. If they don’t notice you robbed them there’s no deduction in honor. Do keep a manual save before each homestead, just in case.
Rayzen85 says
Thank you very much for the guide!
This platin is gonna be a tough one for me, but i like the challange. What pisses me of tho is the fact, that you have to be honorable to get the Trophy. This is such a pain in the ass, because you are not allowed to play the game as you wish. I can´t understand why a developer would implement such a thing is a game like this. *sigh*
Marcus Lundgren says
Rockstar are masters of making their brilliant games a miserable experience to play for us trophy hunters.
I don’t mind challenging trophies that test my skills, but MISSABLE trophies in a 200+ hour long game? And trophies that force you to play a certain way, even though you may not enjoy it? That’s cheap.
Excellent guide, though. As always.
Chandan Prasad says
I agree with you. I just started trophy hunting and I always enjoy finishing the story and later get the trophies I need. This needs me to constantly follow a guide. Also, they don’t say what’s needed to get a gold star for the missions and replaying missions are harder (basic weapons, difficulty increased, or so I have read) So basically I need to read a list which might spoil the mission or do a manual save and go replay it again before moving forward after seeing the checklist at the end of the mission. Yesterday I spent 1 hour replaying 2 missions in chapter 1, instead I could have just played the story much longer. Guess I might just enjoy this game
QQMe says
Thanks so much for posting the guide quickly…Will enjoy the story first but keep in mind of those 4 missable trophies so I get them..
I suspect this is unlikely but I’ll ask anyway just in case – will you be doing a gold medal walkthrough for 70 missions?
PowerPyx says
Yes there will be a text walkthrough for every mission. I’m not sure about the videos yet. Gonna pump out the collectible guides first and then I’ll see (but it’s unlikely).
HA says
Where to Get Tasks LS on Where there is no one in the camp its name LS
PowerPyx says
LS is the name on map. You need to do more quests to unlock him.
Yev says
Cheers PP, I love your work!
POJ says
I love to ask about Kivit to find Sheriffs Office
napalmdeath says
Hi, maybe I’m retarded but what do roman numerals mean in the Lending a Hand guide?
PowerPyx says
The quests are broken down into multiple parts. So you first get money lending quest I (#1) then the next mission is called the same but with different roman number II (#2), III (#3) and so on.
RedDead says
Can you confirm that Money Lending and Other Sins I and II don’t get added to the mission log? I remember doing I and can’t recall doing II (was it a cut scene?) and did III but only III is in the mission log.
Thanks
PowerPyx says
I believe two of them were just cutscenes so yes those wouldn’t get added because they’re not replayable.
Dex Lucis says
For the money lending mission with LS, do you need to do all three marked locations at once? I did one, returned the debt to the camp and got LS Quest III but I haven’t gotten I or II yet?
PowerPyx says
Yes you must do all 3 money lending objectives.
But some cutscenes count as mission hence you won’t see all of them in questlog.
Ceecile says
Ugh why must there be multiplayer related trophies.
lozzer94 says
Weird choice to have miss-able trophies in a game of this size but oh well.
I am concerned the gold trophies will affect my enjoyment of the game. Have you been going for the 70 golds throughout your play through or leaving them after you have completed the story?
Mitch2161998 says
Leave it and come back, some are gonna be pretty difficult to guess its there firat time round
Manuel Schmid says
Hi,
i have one question about trophy Lending a Hand:
I am in chapter 2 and i played some story missions but i only unlocked the mission Money “Lending and Other Sins”. Have i simply play the other missions and look after every mission on the map for the other missable story missions? Or is there a order i have to play the other non missable story missions to unlock the missable one?
Thanks for answer and thanks for the guide!!!!
Smokin990 says
Who is LS?
dalailama1989 says
Leopold Strauss, a member of your Gang, the older loan-shark 🙂
TrophyGrinder says
His name is Strauss you have to do the mission in valentine to unlock it.
Luis Santiago says
1- i have lost honor 4 times. Am i good to get those honor missions? Im at chapter 2
2-The errand boy one. Im at chapter 2 and im pretty much closing it but didnt get any errad assignments , should i try to search for them or is this normal ? Should i wait?
Walter White says
Having a little trouble with errand boy, I have been given the oregano “quest” but cannot find any, is there a specific spot where I may find some?
PowerPyx says
I’m gonna link a screenshot to this in the guide later. So much stuff to do in this game 🙂
pkstoxic says
1. south shore of elysian pool
2. just north of the oil plant (like 100 feet north of the north wall)
Henry Parker says
Hello powerpyx hope that you have a great day !!

I have one question I’m really stock with errand boy trophy ,you said that the gang members will approach you asking for favors ,but I spent a lot of time at camp and nobody came to me asking for anything am I doing something wrong??
PowerPyx says
How far into the game are you? If you’re very early in Chapter 2 you need to do a few more missions so you get to know them all in their main missions, then they will approach you with favors.
Henry Parker says
I’m still in chapter 2 playing John marston mission
LukasOxik says
I have two questions: 1: I already have “We Loved Once and True” quest but I still dont have any favours to do. I upraged my cap a lot if this helps.
2: I played domino in camp but i think it was in midnight or night. Does this still count as a activity in camp?
I am currently at chapter 2
rampanthamster says
Great guide, thank you so much. One question though – I’m only on chapter 2, and have on the whole been playing honourably.
However, I’ve done a few dishonourable things (such as shooting the 3 guards on the train in the first train robbery). If I try to be as honourable as possible from here on in and donate a lot to the camp box, should i be ok to have level 4/8 by chapter six so that i can do that mission that requires good honour?
PowerPyx says
You’ll probably be fine. Just don’t overdo the dishonorable things as it’s hard to get back to honorable from it. Early on you still have a lot of opportunities to make up for the dishonorable decisions.
JohnMarstensNipple says
For the killing and skinning of animals are you sure it’s all 178? It seems that some animals, for example horses, can be studied but don’t need to be killed.
MidnightDragonDX says
The official guide says every species, so it may not be all 178, though you probably still have to study every single type. Of course, until it happens, we won’t know for sure.
MidnightDragonDX says
Still, I’ll probably be killing and skinning everything I possibly can, so don’t think it’ll matter too much either way. LOL
Bunkerbudy says
Do we need to do the Lending a Hand missions in that exact order?
Cuz I found that second (bounty) mission at the start of Chapter 2 but I still havent seen LS. Is that a problem, or are they not related an can be done when I proges?
PowerPyx says
The order doesn’t matter as long as you get them before the chapter ends (after the chapter there’s no way to go back).
miller88 says
How do I check errands I have been tasked with? I know I have had a few characters ask for an item, but I cannot remember which ones.
ComManDerBG says
WARNING!! There is a FIFTH missable achievement called “Breaking and Entering” two of the robberies are time sensitive
One from Javier , available during chapter 2 and 3 and a home robbery given Sean only available during chapter 3.
Joshua says
It’s not missable. I can confirm you do not need them. However if you do them, they do in fact count towards it. I tested it and got the trophy/achievement without relying on either Sean or Javier.
ComManDerBG says
Im going off of the guide, which list it along with the other 4 trophies here.
Ronin says
So in Chapter 2, you say we must complete Money Lending and Other Sins (I, II, III). I never saw part II of that quest. Only the first part when you pick 1 of 3 targets and then the part where you go after Thomas Downes which is part III. Is there actually a quest called Money Lending and Other Sins – II ?
PowerPyx says
II was just a cutscene. Some cutscenes count as entire quests in this game.
Robert says
Do the chapters have timers? Like, if I want to complete the trophy where I have to do all the honor missions, do I have to complete them in a certain time or does the chapter end by progressing the story? My plan would be to do ALL the honorable missions first as to make sure I don’t miss them THEN do everything else. Is this possible?
Mitch2161998 says
By missions chapter 2 and 3 end in the main town your near (chapter 2 is a marston quest i dont remember what 3s was and i haven’t finished 4 yet)
Mitch2161998 says
3 was bill in rhodes
Alex says
Platinum has almost everything I hate. As always Rockstar.
Anthony says
I’m in chapter 2 on the first John mission and i haven’t got any request besides the naval compass which I’m completely lost on where the location is. Where is boat house? And why haven’t I been getting tons of request ? Thank you
Mitch2161998 says
I got most of my requests in chapter 3 also i only ever had one going at once so make sure you finish any outstanding errands first
Boy says
Powerpyx the quest item hosea book on the right side of the map where s the extact location
waiveybone says
hey there, i somehow cant find Braithwaites Estate in Boathouse on the map, in order to get the naval compass for pearson.
where exactly is it located on the map? :/
Joshua says
West of the Manor. There’s a boathouse. Look at it on the map, impossible to miss. Compass is on top of the counter in the boathouse.
Steve says
I’ve just done the first LS mission (Money Lending and Other Sins) and in my mission log under Chapter 2 it just lists ‘Money Lending and Other Sins – III’ is this right? Shouldn’t it list I and II as well or?
PowerPyx says
Yes it’s normal. I’ll add a note about it. I and II are just cutscenes.
Ben says
Hey just a quick one PP, is there any way to check the item requests received from camp members (errand boy type) after they have been given? I looked everywhere and couldn’t find anywhere to check which ones they asked me to do. Thanks in advance.
Diazau says
It’s in the progression or story sections somewhere. Says Dutch wants a pipe etc. I’ll be more specific when I get home and turn it on.
Mushroom says

Jonas Mathiasen says
I have a question about the “Money Lending and Other Sins” missions. I only got money from 1 of 3 persons and then returned back to the camp to donate the money. (Because I didn’t know I had to visit all 3 persons before returning to the camp) I then completed the mission with Downes and realised I had to visit the 2 other persons. So i looked on the map, and there is 2 places on the map with white fog and a dollar sign, where the last 2 persons are. The “Money Lending and Other Dins III” is already in my mission log. So my question is, can I go to those 2 places and get the money from them and then it will still count? Or did I have to do all 3 in the mission?
Nartos89 says
I have the exact same problem. I printed the checklist before PP revised this section and collected only 1 of 3 xD
Anyway I think we should be fine. Somewhere in the camp you can check where you already collected the debt right? Is it registered there? Cannot check since I am not at home the next days…
Stefan says
Exact same problem. Could you please keep me updated on whether you get the trophy, because I won’t be able to play next few days. PSN: gboiaj
Nartos89 says
Will let you know. Probabely next week because I won’t be able to play on the weekend…
I was still able to finish the remaining two debts in chapter 4. Lets see…
Nartos89 says
I can confirm that finishing the remaining two debts in chapter 4 also works.
I just got the trophy.
Jonas Mathiasen says
Awesome, thank you! I’m in Chapter 6 at the moment and I just need to complete a couple more honor missions before I get the trophy.
DR-INSANE95 says
Hi Powerpyx, can you help me out? Quest for ” Money Lending and other sins IV” I did the 2 locations it said to debt collect even took the lady from his wife and son. now im not sure if i’ve done the mission as its not in my log.. is there more to this one? Any help would be appreciated. PS love that you released the guide fairly early
Chase says
Yes I’m having the same exact problem
DR-INSANE95 says
yea. i finished the game to not get the trophy. On second playthrough doing everything including the home robberies that show up at camp. might trigger it. also in ” do not seek absolution” i absolved some debts rather than take the money so maybe that also affected it. hope this helps you
Rob says
Same problem here. I did the quest but it’s not showing in the log for me.
Dominic says
I‘m 1/3-1/2 through chapter 2 and haven‘t had a single errand request or a single companion activity in the camp yet…do they trigger at a certain point?
CxlIe says
I did the Money Lending and Other Sins mission in chapter 3 and talked to the 2 debors and I put the money from both in the tithing box, but in the progress tab it doesn’t show ” Money Lending and Other Sins (IV)” under chapter 3?
DR-INSANE95 says
Im thinking the same thing dude. im curious if i also missed one. but maybe its just a bug? idk butim sure if you put it in there then its done so just continue 🙂
Chris Jenkins says
This happened to me too, along with another mission on
Crow says
Thank you for posting this! The same thing happened to me and I’m worried its going to keep me from getting the associated trophy and platinum.
Got both bounties-returned the pelt for cash and exchanged diamond broach for cash; returned all debts to the box but the mission is not showing as completed or active in log.
If there is confirmation this is a bug Rockstar will patch or not I would appreciate it. I’m worried about progressing past chapter 3
Todd says
Platinums like this one aren’t worth going for. Trophies that force you to play a certain way defeat the purpose of a game like this.
jahpups says
That’s what I was telling one of my friend. it’s almost impossible to get a gold medal on your first run they literally want you to re play the missions. I’ll just try to knock out the missable ones and see where I honestly from there
MidnightDragonDX says
Not 100% sure you have to kill every single solitary animal for Skin Deep. The guide says you have to kill every species and it says the list starts on a certain page. The list has bear, bison, snake, etc. So maybe you just have to skin one of each type of animal rather than everything. Well, it’ll be found out soon enough. 🙂
CxlIe says
Is it normal that only The Course of True Love II and III show up in the progression tab? There is no part 1 but it’s listed in the trophy description of “lending a hand”
PowerPyx says
Yes, some cutscenes count as mission parts.
HederEskeeetit says
how much is the progress bar on, if you complete the story by only doing the story?
Mushroom says
Hello, I cant find the dreadful book for jack, Ive been to all the location expect armadilo, im on chapter 2 still. Anyone got any ideas on where else it might be for definite?
DR-INSANE95 says
its not called the dreadful book. theres a book you pick up in the 5 locations that will count.
Evrydainormalguy says
I found it at the location east of the emerald ranch. I just can’t find Jack at the camp to return the book.
Luis Santiago says
Thx for the guide
Just a quick question
— Is it normal for me to be level 2 of honor (25%discount) in chapter 4? Im going for the all optional honor missions done but i think im screwing this up or am i good to go still? Were u lvl 2 too in chapter 4? Thx
Evrydainormalguy says
Anyone else having issues finding specific characters in the camp to return their requests? Can’t find either Jack or Sadie. In chapter 3 currently.
JrsAlster says
This is excactly the same thing that happened to me. Don’t know where they are after I get their items, and return to the camp its like they dissappeared…
DR-INSANE95 says
you have to advance through the missions. there’s reasons why they are missing. thats all i can say im afraid 🙂 goodluck with the book and harmonica
Evrydainormalguy says
I think I just got to the part you’re talking about lol. Thanks man!
Rrobinvip says
Hi
Thanks the guide again
I can’t find Harmonica for Sadie in the given location. Anyone knows how to find it?
Evrydainormalguy says
It was on a shelf to the left when you walk into the ranchers little cabin
Andrew says
Hosea – Request: Book – Location: In a House in the Bayou (right side of the map)
anyway you can be more specific on this? Been going around the bayou for 2 hours and cant find it
Ozed says
The square under the other O in bayou
Toasted says
Am I able to do the random encounters you see on the road or will that affect honour? Like can I kill two dudes to free someone from a cage they are hauling? Also when I become WANTED can I kill the law men to escape? Or is that a no go coz of honour? Thanks for your quick and already immensely detailed guide! 🙂
Mitch2161998 says
Killing law and bounty hunters is fine (provided your wanted) , killing random civilians will lose honor
nic says
HELP WITH FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS I did an activity in each camp I went to do the last one in the camp of chapter 4 and the trophy did not show, I have 1 Save game in each camp if I load the Savé of each camp and do the activity in each one would be that would work?
nic says
I played domino in chapter 2, played domino in chapter 3 with tilly and in chapter 4 i did the mission with Uncle
Quink666 says
You need to do Robberies/Hunting/Fishing companion missions. Any of the games does not count toward the trophy.
Adam says
Hi can someone please help me I have completed the money and other sins part III I have seen Thomas downes and then went back to camp to speak to LS but I didn’t complete the debt collecting tasks, and now I’m on chapter 3, am I still going to be able to get the lending a hand trophy or do I have to start the game again?
Mitch2161998 says
Youll have to start again, all lending tasks must be completed
Adam says
Why did my message get deleted can’t anyone answer me lol
PowerPyx says
It was stuck in moderation (a spam prevention method) and should show up now.
David says
I dont have Money Lending and Other Sins (IV) in quest log, why?
LukasOxik says
Same here and my few friend who already did it, dont have it too in quest log.
Jowwdown says
I have the same issue. I know I’ve completed that quest but it’s not on my completed missions list and there’s no more objectives. I’ve had all the debt into the small box at camp.
What gives?!
Frasier says
I have the exact same thing. Checked it multiple times.
Iphycz says
Same here returned all dept and not in quest log?
Packo says
same here
duvall says
same… anybody figured out a solution to this?
Packo says
Tilly, only while playing Dominoes with her – Request: Necklace – Location: From Safes all over the world
She also request in Chapter 3. Just played dominos with her and she request me.
Ricky says
On xbox I have 90% towards the Optional story missions. And all my chapters have no missing missions on the bottom. Is there some like unmissable mission in the epilogue that will trigger the last I need?
Joschka says
I’ve also completed all optional story missions and it didn’t pop. If loaded an older save but it didn’t help…
Is there something missing in the guide or is this glitched for some players? I have read about another one who has the same problem
FierceViper82 says
I can’t see myself playing the online so no platinum for me but will try and 100 % the singleplayer.Dont care how long it’s takes this games awesome.
Mikersen says
I did every single mission on the full walkthrough of chapter 1-6 and all missions lending a hand tells me to do. And it didn’t unlock for me. i checked all missions 3 times and there’s none missing. There must be a mission missing on that list or something. Fudge, why add missables to a masterpiece.
PowerPyx says
Have you finished the story playthrough yet (epilogue)?
What does Rockstar Social Club say about your progression on this trophy?
Mikersen says
I’ve not finished the epilogue yet, but on Psnprofiles i see people getting the trophy even before finishing chapter 6. Looked up on Social Club, says i have 90% progression just like a guy 2 comments above me. I hope finishing the epilogue will get me to 100%. im almost 100% sure I’ve done all missions pointed out.
PowerPyx says
There’s a mission called “Of Men and Angels” in Chapter 6 that doesn’t get added to the missions list, it’s just a quick donation mission in Saint Denis at Church. Can you try doing that and let me know if it unlocks the trophy? It’s not a real mission so I don’t think it counts but that would be my only idea.
Otherwise it looks like a glitchy trophy.
Ricky says
Same. I think this game is buggy with saves. I have all the missions in my progress tab. And all my Debt collectors are crossed out in my letters.
Mikersen says
I absolved twice, why would you take money from people with no money that got tricked into a loan. Same as ricky, the debt collectors will still be crossed out. The last one at annesburg doesn’t even have any money to give you iirc. the man who took the loan died. Its either a glitchy trophy. or its that ”Of men and angels” mission. We need someone that has the trophy to confirm stuff. Would really be weird if absolving locks you out.
PowerPyx says
Okay absolving does not lock it. I just checked with some friends who absolved and they got the trophy just fine. That definitely doesn’t matter.
Slice-of-Life says
I have just finished the game. I have every mission on social club but trophy is still at %90. It really sucks.
Mikersen says
I took an old save of mine and went to the church, walked 5 circles but can’t find sister calderon. Maybe i haven’t done enough missions or its not the right time of the day. Do you know anything about this?
Anton says
Thos list her states that you need to complete “Of Men and Angels – I & II” also to get the “Lending A Hand”-trophy, but it doesn’t so say so in this list. If it’s true that you need this Honor mission too, I’m gonna jump off a cliff…I’ve just completed all optional honor missions on this list, and the trophy hasn’t popped yet…
DR-INSANE95 says
Dont absolve the debts ( in any chapter) locks you out of the trophy ” lending a hand “
Slice-of-Life says
This could be it. I have absolved both of them and it didn’t pop.
PowerPyx says
Absolving doesn’t matter, this is 100% confirmed. You get the trophy regardless.
Outsider says
Not too far in the game. Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Cheers.
RomeoNovember says
Hi,
Is it possible to do all the non missable trophies like skinning all animals after the story?
PowerPyx says
Yes, everything not marked as missable can be done in free-roam after story.
Timo says
Is it possible to get dutch pipe ezelt in the game when you enter your first camp?
Stefan says
PowerPyx – is “Lending a Hand” TROPHY GLITCHED due to “Money Lending” side mission. Because IV and V don’t get registered in the mission log?
Ruben Gomes says
Guys, don’t worry. The mission isn’t supposed to show up in the mission log as it doesn’t award any medals. If you finish the chapter and go to your “story” tab in the social club, you’ll see you will have 17/17 missions and this one ain’t one of them. As for those reporting having only 90% at the end… I have no idea
Stefan says
Thank you for the answer Ruben. I have another worry about the same mission though. At the start, I collected one debt then went to camp, deposited the money and after that went to the last guy who doesn’t have the money and the mission registered as completed in the log (before actually taking the other two debts) I went on to take them afterwards, but am afraid that this make lock me put of the trophy.
Romeo says
Can you do everything apart from the missable trophies after the story?
Mitch2161998 says
I dont think the 5 dollars for abigail counts for the errand boy trophy as i did 5 including that and it didn’t pop (and thats the only one that didn’t say item request on the left for me) just a heads up
Marco says
I can confirm this. I did 5 requests including the 5 dollar request from Abigail and the trophy didn’t pop. I got the trophy after doing another request.
GaF says
For “Friends With Benefits”: if you play poker or domino just pressing square while near table but there is no companion here waiting does it still count for this trophy? Or do you need a companion sitting at table and asking for a match?
Thnks in advance.
Slice-of-Life says
I can confirm you MUST do “Of Men and Angels (I, II)” for “Lending a Hand”. I have beaten the story with your unupdated guide but i did not get the Lending a Hand. Luckily I had a save somewhere in Chapter 6, I completed “Of Men and Angels (I, II)” then did “Mrs. Sadie Adler, Widow (I, II)” and i got the trophy.
PowerPyx says
Perfect, THANK YOU very much for confirming this. Glad we got it figured out! That solves it then 🙂
Mikersen says
I have a chapter 6 save as well but the Sister who should give you the quest is not at the church for me. Which main mission was the last one you did, i need to plant the bombs with micah for my next one. And what time was it? Also was it indicated as a mission or just a greeting?
Mikersen says
Seems you must do the Of men and angels one quick before she moves out in this mission where you bring Captain Monroe to the train and you meet her.
Slice-of-Life says
Of course, you must do it before letting her go. How come you meet her on church if she leaves?
Joey says
Hi,
It’s looks like the “Western Stranger” trophy is buggy. When I go to settings I can see that I have completed 10 out 10 strangers mission. But the trophy is not here.
On PSNProfiles nobody got the trophy too. Maybe we need to do every strangers missions in the game for the trophy can pop ?
PowerPyx says
It seems to unlock later than it should or some stranger mission strands don’t count properly. You can check your trophy progress in Rockstar Social Club. Just keep doing more stranger quests and it will unlock. It’s obtainable, just requires more strangers.
Rammstone says
I am pretty sure the tracker in total completion only requires you to meet 10 of the strangers because I had 10/10 on the second day of playing this game, but the trophy requires you to finish 10 full questlines so it will unlock much later. Sometimes its far from obvious when a questline is finished.
Smiffy says
I have done Money lending and other sins VI on ch3 but does not show in the list of completed missions under Ch3? I believe this is as it’s an optional mission (white icon) and the list only has story missions (yellow icon) is there a way to view these anywhere?
Jalarzul says
Yeah, I’ve noticed this as well. Ive completed Money Lending and Other Sins III in ch. 2 and it shows up in the mission log under Story. And I’ve completed Money Lending and Other Sins IV in ch. 3 but this one isn’t showing up. In the guide it says its needed for the trophy. Will it count even if it isn’t showing up?
DR-INSANE95 says
i can confirm it does count if they don’t show up. just keep a personal checklist for yourself when going through this. some missions are just cutscenes.
nic says
Help I completed every mission on Lending a Hand but on social club the trophy is 90% progress.
CxlIe says
Missable mission like “Pouring forth oil” are not needed for the 100% completion right?
PowerPyx says
Correct, those are not needed. When you complete the story it automatically checks off “all story missions” in your log, doesn’t matter if you skipped all the missables.
Chris Radford says
2 questions. What does the key mean next to a mission in the mission log?
And have you got a list on what animals are exclusive to chapter 5?
Thanks 🙂
LukasOxik says
i completed more than 10 full quest lines for strangers and still got no trophie pop for that. It is glitched? I still have more strangers quest to complete so i hope i pop after few …
Meghia says
I also have this problem. Hope it will open later on.
DjCala says
For Zoologist and Skin Deep, you only need 1 animal for species, around a total of 80 animals.
I’ve the italian version of the game, in the trophy description explain exactly 1 animal for species in both trophies.
Tenreth says
Could be true and would answer the question why my completion percentage is higher than the calculated amount. I’ve tried multiple calculations (w and w/o legendarys, w and w/o horses, even fish) but nothing worked…
On the other hand, it can’t be true, because i’ve researched and killed multiple birds, and Zoologist increased by 1% after 2 animals. But because of rounding, you can’t guess the maximum number .
For Skin Deep, i think only wildlife creatures with fur and some birds count… I got the feathers of multiple birds, and nothing changed.
DjCala says
Looking the official guide i see that only 80 species of animal are listed (es. Squirrel is only one, you can find red-black-grey squirrel in the game but is the same species, Alligator is the same, you can find baby Alligator, big Alligator ecc…is the same species)….80 without Horses and Fishes. Unfortunately the guide only says to study and skin one animal for species and says to refer to the list that count 80 animals. In Guarama looks like only 2 species are unique for this zone, Sula (is a bird, i don’t know the english name) and Parrot.
Sorry for my english 🙂
lettuce says
For “Pouring Forth Oil,” I can’t seem to trigger to this mission. However I just read that you need to have bad honor to trigger it, and I have a decent amount of positive honor in Chapter 2 right now. Is there a workaround for this? Is this really required for Lending a Hand lol? Hope I’m not screwed.
Chris Radford says
You definitely don’t need bad honor to start this mission.
Evrydainormalguy says
Where’s the letter for The Course of True Love IV and V in chapter 6? Looking in the “tent” which is the rundown shack but don’t see it anywhere
Kierrin says
Ok I may of figured out that skin deep doesnt required all animals. I just checked my social club for the progress for both trophies and skin deep is at 28% while zoologist is at 29%. I counted how many I have skinned vs how many I have studied. I have skinned 28 animals and studied 46. So no way that equals a 1% difference. I also think that some animals are required for zoologist because 46 isn’t 29% of 178 51 is. That means guarma could not be required since it says all states in the trophy list but this is all just a theory and I could be totally wrong.
PowerPyx says
I have the same feeling… since the trophy description says “in all states” and Guarama is not a state those might not be needed. Thing is, we won’t know for sure until someone gets the trophy without the chapter 5 animals. It’s gonna take a week or so to confirm this.
Andy says
Hey – I think this wording is really interesting, because I’ve noticed on a few trophies that “states” is used to mean: the below, as seen in the Bountiful trophy.
Lemoyne
New Hanover
Ambarino
West Elizabeth
New Austin
However, Skin Deep doesn’t have the same wording, rather – it references “all animals”so are we thinking that Guarma is needed for skin deep, but not “zoologist”? Will be keeping my eye out for Guarma guide PP, looking forward to it!
Kierrin says
I actually think it may be the legendary animals that dont count for either trophy. Since I killed 2 skinned/studied them both and my percentage never went up on the trophies and they are part of the 178. Plus I also think animals that you can only skin count towards skin deep since I plucked a couple of birds and it never went up.
Kierrin says
Just did the math and I took away the 16 from the 178. And then did the percentage of 57% of 162 of which I have studied so far and that equal 92 of which is how many animals I have studied. So this means that guarma animals most likely do count
simpjkee says
Ok, “Money Lending and Other Sins – III” shows as completed in the story/chapter 2 section in the game. I know I completed it, did all the debt collections, etc. I then moved on to chapter 3. However, On the Rockstar Social Club it shows as the only mission from chapter 2 that was not completed. On Social Club, it says 17 of 18 complete in chapter 2 and this mission is not there. Just a blank spot where it should be. Additionally, on the Social Club under “Trophies”, it does not give me a percentage complete for the Lending a Hand trophy. That trophy is greyed out while others do give me a percentage complete. I’m thinking I’ve missed out on this trophy and unfortunately, at this point my only option is to start the game from the beginning : ( What do you guys think?
MrARCO says
Having the same issue, but it’s kinda different.
Nicolas says
The missables mission are necessary for the trophy 100%?
PowerPyx says
No. Just completing the story will be enough. Missable missions not needed for 100%.
dj batfink says
Hi, on your Story Mission Walkthrough, is the last mission listed on each chapter the mission that would complete the chapter, for example “Chapter 3” “The Battle of Shady Belle” would doing this trigger end of chapter 3. Thanks
Robert says
I have a question regarding side quest called he is british, that requires to find and bring back zebra, tiger and lion to broken caravans, i have not study those animals, and as far as i know there is no way to restart this side mission, so i wonder are these animals missable for animal list of 178 animals.
PowerPyx says
Kinda spoilery but:
They aren’t actual animals. They are just costumes (e.g. the “lion” is a dog in a costume). So those don’t count I’m pretty sure.
Hamster says
Can anyone confirm if there’s a way to check which errands you have already been tasked with/in progress? I’ve been approached a couple times by people in the camp but I don’t remember what they wanted….
Andy says
If you press the left directional button (D-pad) if will bring up a list of collectibles and miscellaneous objectives which are currently outstanding.
Marco says
Pressing left on the d-pad gives you a list of errands in progress.
CxlIe says
Press right on the d-pad
Hamster says
You guys are totally right, Dpad left! thanks… no idea how I missed that lol
Joey says
Just a little tips you should already know: I have replayed a mission in Chapter 5 and I have be able to study pelicans and it was saved in progress even after replay finished and back in freeroam. I am not at home for days but if someone want to waste some hours to find if parrots and booby can be studied and skinned in any mission of Chapter 5 it will confirm that the trophies are not missable.
I don’t know if animals in missions are scripted or not but it’s worth a try.
PowerPyx says
You can’t explore the full chapter 5 island in main missions so replay won’t work for it.
Zarok says
Do the Honour Missions unlock after you played a chapter? Because I got every mission from chapter 2 (although in a different order) and didn’t play honourable. And is it still possible to save my honour and play honourable for the rest and boost it so I can do all the other ones?
CxlIe says
For the “Skin Deep” trophy, do you also have to skin animals like pigs that don’t have the skinned progression in the compendium?
Kayro says
please help me, I’m sure it completes all optional missions but the trophy “lending a hand” did not come. Is it for him I saw after completing all the optional missions or do I need to do something else to unlock this trophy?
ScoobyDooPL says
Hey,
I just found out there is one more missable quest in chapter 3. At least I think it is missable. I had Horse Flesh for Dinner (John), The Fine Joys of Tobacco (Hosea) and Magicians for Sport (Dutch). Even though quest from John and Hosea appeared earlier I went for Dutch quest and I have noticed that The Fine Joys of Tobacco (Hosea) disappeared from the map after completing Magicians for Sport (Dutch).
Not sure if it would pop on the map again but I didn’t want to push my luck, reloaded a save and went for John’s quest first, and after competing that quest I still have Hosea and Dutch quest on the map.
So if I am right The Fine Joys of Tobacco (Hosea) quest might be missable if you do Magicians for Sport (Dutch) before that.

DR-INSANE95 says
to all those missing the ” lending a hand trophy ” after playing good and honorbly for the entire game. theres a mission in saint denis that pops up called “idealism and pragmatism for beginners I ” This is marked on the map as a HL and must certainly be a optional honor mission too.
PowerPyx says
It’s a stranger mission. Are you sure this counts? It’s filed as a stranger quest and no other stranger mission counts.
YEESHU1P says
I can confirm this quest don’t count for the trophy.
DR-INSANE95 says
im not 100% sure if it counted. thats how i did it and i got it so thought i would let others know. better safe then sorry lol
Krispo says
I found ‘Fer-De-Lance’ snake on the chapter 5 island. Not sure if it only lives here, but it says ‘native to Guarama in the description. PAGE 10, first one.
Arthur Morgan says
Could someone please confirm if the animals on guarma are required for the 2 animal trophies or not.
Arthur Morgan says
And will you show the locations of all the animals pyx?
PowerPyx says
It’s in progress. Will take a week or so, too many and all random spawns. Until someone gets the animal trophies we won’t know if they count. Nobody knows for sure right now.
Quink666 says
Playing poker, domioes or fff does not count towards Friends With Benefits trophy. I played a game of poker at the start of chapter 4 in camp and didn’t get it, but i got it right after i completed a tobbery. It has to be Hunting/Fishing/Robbery companion missions.
Quink666 says
FYI i did a real companion activity in all other camps 1 robbery in each aswell as fishing ang games. But the poker game or the domino game in chapter 4 did not pop the trophy. Only after i did a robbery did it pop. Meaning the games you can do in camp does not count toward the Friends With Benefit trophy.
UltimaWeapon94 says
I have done only a fff activity in chapter 2 and I have got the trophy.
DR-INSANE95 says
ok guys i just got my ” lending a hand ” trophy so thought i would drop a guide on it. do every mission thats listed in here. but be sure to absolve debts in chapter 6, make sure you dont kill the guards in missions for some because you will lose honor. in one mission you will have a guard as hostage. dont kill him when the shootout takes place. do every mission listed and good luck. this will get you the trophy. I had to play through it all again just to get it 🙂
kantera says
When did the trophy unlock for you? Just after completing the last optional story mission?
Andrew Oake says
Why on the trophy list for the game does it say that some got the plat?
TaylorGang1js says
Are you planning on doing Call of Cthulhu Trophy Guide? I don’t wanna start it yet if you are. Just let me know
Giggso says
PAGE 9 SLOT 5 ROW 1 is American Robin
Zoultaker says
I think studying all animals is missable. because I went to hunt legendary buck, and then bounty hunters came after me and the hunt was interrupted and the buck died on it’s own, now i can’t get to kill legendary buck anymore so studying it to 100% isn’t possible anymore.
PowerPyx says
That is very weird o_O
So you never got to kill the legendary animal? And now it’s not in your compendium? That’s a huge oversight by the devs.
Coversnail says
I has a similar issue with the legendary Bison, it died in a lake and I couldn’t study or skin it. However if you sleep for a couple of days the corspe will decompose and then your compendium will automatically update as though you have skinned and studied the animal, and you can get the relevant talismans/trinkets from the trapper, you just miss out on the cash from selling it.
Chris Jenkins says
Hi can you confirm that money lending and other sins 4 & 5 don’t show up on the mission lists for chapter 3 & 4? I have completed the side missions yet I don’t see them on the list unlike 2&3 which are shown in chapter 2 mission list. I noticed a lot of people with same issue but none of them have a response.
Braden says
They do not show up. If you follow the guide you’ll be good.
Scoo says
Hi experiencing trouble with “Errand Boy”. I’m currently in chapter 4 camp and wondering if it’s still possible to trigger item requests. I only had four, and one disappeared after certain *spoilers*, so i still need to trigger two more requests. Have been socializing/greeting for a few days now, so i guess ill just progress :(. If there’s any solution/confirmation about chapter 4 triggers, please I appreciate the help.
Scoo says
The three that are complete now are Jack-Penny Dreadful, Susan-oregano, Sadie- harmonica.
DR-INSANE95 says
u can still trigger them. just wait it out go explore do things then just wait.
Ludi says
I played poker early on in Chapter 4 and when Pearson sat down he gave me the request for the compass, so I can tell you that’s possible at least
Scoo says
Thanks for the responses. I must be very unlucky because i couldn’t get any remaining to trigger in chapter 4. Kept coming to camp after missions and nothing. Since they’re not needed for 100% play through, I just loaded an old save chapter 3 and got all 5 done fairly quickly.
Omar says
I want to complete the money lending mission in chapter 4 but there’s a lock on Gwyn Hughes and Winton Holmes missions. If I go to their locations, it says that I can’t do them because of my recent crimes and I should come back later. This has been going for a while now. I’m afraid to finish the chapter without completing them. Any one has the same issue?
Chris Jenkins says
I have the same issue even though I previously completed the requirements for Gwen Hughes etc. I think this is a big tbh
I’d save them continue the game to see if it unlocks as I’ve spoke to a few others with similar problems and they have the trophy. I have saved my progress and fingers crossed I will get the trophy, hope you do too!
Chris Jenkins says
Glitch not big (damn auto spell lol)
Javier says
Question about “Friends with benefits” trophy.
Any problem if I do more than 1 companion activity per camp?
Chris radford says
Why would that be a problem? lol
Omar says
No problem
Lord says
I get all rock carving and send all and after 2 day i get quest giver but I did not show the mission on the map
Pramtoeter says
I’ve found the fourth snake on Guarma: Fer-de-Lance Snake. That’s the missing entry.
Mitchell23 says
Will you be doing a challenge guide too or did I miss it somewhere? Great job btw. My phone is full tabs from the guide.
Fang says
How many animals in Chapter 5? Anyone provide a list?
BlooMunKy says
Is the second task for Jack under the “Errand boy” trophy to collect a thimble for him to give to his mother. I just had him come up to me, Chapter 2 at 9am.
Hope this helps.
kevin says
do i have to complete optional missions in chronological order to obtain the lending a hand trophy?
PowerPyx says
Not necessarily. It’s just the usual unlock order these mission become available. But depending on what main missions you did first they might pop up in different order. You just gotta do all of ’em before the end of their chapter.
LukasOxik says
For trophie “It was THIS Big!” u can obtain it while playing stranger mission “The Veteran II”
Kierrin says
Ok I think I can confirm that the guarma snakes arent needed for skin deep if anyone can confirm that there is a western moose in the game (not western bull moose) and a florida panther. Since I’m at 94% and still have to skin a silver fox that should put it at like 98% if those animals are actual in the game. Which I think they are just cant find them. Zoologist I’m at 90% and still need time to confirm if that is or not
Kierrin says
Ok I just saw a list of all animals on psn profiles and can confirm those animals the western moose and florida panther are in the game. Also saw a reddish egret which i dont have so with those 3 and a silver fox that I need it would put me at 100% and I dont have any of the guarma snakes
John says
“Lending a Hand” just popped for me during the end credits at the same time as the final story achievement. I was at 90% in the achievement tracker for it before finishing the story, having only missed doing the “Good, Honest, Snake Oil” mission in chapter 2. The tile for that mission on rockstar social club also unlocked, even though I never did it.
Deluziion says
It’s about time you change the requirement for Single player 200+ hours to even more because it’s just crazy how much we have to do
LukasOxik says
Okay so I just got my “Lending a Hand” trophie. I did all the missions listed besides Pouring Forth Oil (II) and got my trophie. So big thx PowerPyx for this.
Chris radford says
I’m one side mission away. I hope i get it lol.
Luis Santiago says
Im in chapter 5 while in level 2 of honor…. Is is normal? Im being a good guy since the start. Powerpyx please answer me!
DR-INSANE95 says
POwerpyx, do you think you will have a guide for the Gambler challenges? im stuck on ” win a game without using any dominoes 3 times. “
iPegisteri says
The challenge is win a game without ”drawing any dominoes” which means you cant pick any dominoes from the table.
Kierrin says
Ok I got the skin deep trophy without the guarma animals. Will work on zoologist later. I’m at 93% for that.
Bods835 says
What’s your PSN? Also, for Skin Deep did you have to skin each sub-species, or only 1 of each species? I.e. 1 pig, 1 bear, etc.
DjCala says
You’ve skinned every animal or one for species? For example….One random squirrel ora one red squirrel + one grey squirrel + one black squirrel ecc…
Josh says
Can you post proof to verify? PSNProfiles still has it marked at 0%
zantam says
That’s such a relief. Skin Deep was the one I was worried about because Zoologist at least says “all states”.
Fred says
That’s great news, I had wonder around for some hours but couldn’t find anything(on my initial playthrough I did see a few parrots but then I reload my saves a few times, afterwards there are no animals not sure if is a glitch or something that they just don’t spawn)
Guess I can finally get back to playing the story without being chased by the soldiers and constantly getting killed by the almighty sniper fire
Kierrin says
psn is kierrin_1994 if you guys want to check.
Kierrin says
I skinned every animal that had a skin option since that’s the only time the percentage went up on rockstar social club. Plucked and collecting never counted. Also at 98% for zoologist now and still need a husky, carolina parakeet and a devon bull. I did study two parrots in guarma and I’m not sure if that counted to my percentage or not
Anthony says
Found his profile he does have the trophy but could you show proof you didn’t get guarma animals?
Kierrin says
I now have zoologist. I didnt need to get the Carolina parakeet though so maybe the two parrots in guarma I studied actually counted. I cant confirm this but maybe people who got the guarma animals might need less mainland animals or the parakeet just doesnt count
Chris radford says
He has definetly got the trophy, as he posted on ankther site and i checked his trophy list. And he has over 300 platinums so he’s not lieing.
miller88 says
Really wish you would have posted that “of men and angels” Needs to be finished before sister Calderon leaves for mexico. Wasted about 2-3 hours and have to reload an older save.
PowerPyx says
There is a linked mission list which shows all main missions in their correct order. So this is pointed out already.
Robert says
I would like to know, why you put china pig and old pig on the chapter 5 animals list, if china pig and old pig are not Guarma animals, i have found them in regular gameplay world long time before i found them on guarma.
PowerPyx says
Some of them may show up in other places too. These are just all that can show up on Guarma. Which ones can also spawn in other places is still being figured out. I just included them all to be safe.
Robert says
To be honnest there are way more to discover there, but they are not guarma ones, i have encountered west frog, brown pelicans, chickens, donkey, sheep, about three more bird species, but i dont feel like they are worth mention, since those are not guarma ones.
Bods835 says
What’s your current stance on Skin Deep and Zoologist? Really eager for someone to figure this out.
Chris radford says
It has been figured out. You don’t need the animals in chapter 5. Someone a few comments above has got the trophy and confirmed it.
JrsAlster says
After the mission “A rage unleashed” in Chapter 6, Charles will ask you if you can check on Rains Fall and you will unlock the mission “Archeology for beginners”. I accidently pressed No on his request, is there any way to trigger the mission anyway? Its the last I need for the “Lending a Hand” trophy. Otherwise, the only option might be to use an old save and get it back?
PowerPyx says
You have to reload old save.
Dompa112 says
Does anybody know if the dlc counts for lending a hand and 100%? On my social club site it says im missing a story mission which is the dlc mission bank robbery that shows up in chapter 4. Is this needed for lending a hand and 100% completion?
Braden says
No it’s not needed. That mission is a companion mission. Very missable too.
SnakeLiquid says
I am seriously worried about Skin Deep because i killed the legendary elk but it was stuck in a lake and i was unable to skin the body.. Now the compendium says i have not it skinned.. That would be seriously frustrating..
Evrydainormalguy says
I think as long as you skin another elk since it’s the same species you should be fine. When I skinned the legendary wolf, my progression for skin deep didn’t change because I had already skinned regular wolves. Hope that helps
MrBongoGT says
Anyone know where any of the following are:
Hereford bull
Dominique Rooster
Leghorn Rooster
Berkshire Pig
I’m also missing the 2 dogs between Catahoula Cur and Labrador Retreiver.
Those are the last ones I need (also need moose, but I know where they are reported to be found, just cant find them myself).
Erogenous Jones says
I found all 3 types of pig (Berkshire, old spot & big China) at Downes Ranch near Valentine.
The dog directly after Catahoula Cur is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Can’t remember exactly where I found it, but it was in chapter 2, compendium says “can be found at ranches, homesteads, train stations and towns across New hanover”
Not sure about the others you are missing, sorry.
Jonas says
Are you guys sure that all the Money Lending and Other Sins missions are required for the trophy? Because after Money Lending and Other Sins lll there’s no more tracking on social club
DR-INSANE95 says
It is true. they all count. because some of those missions are just cutscenes.
Zarok says
I’m at the beginning of Chapter 3 and want to save my honour gut nothing changes it to the positive do you know why?
pkstoxic says
Can i rob the stashes in free roam or does it need to be within the robbery ‘mission’??
DR-INSANE95 says
Can be in Freeroam, if you get a stranger quest. sometimes they will give you hints about robberies but you can also go to the station after a certain point to talk about another type of robbery too. press left on Dpad to show the logs of the “item requests” missions done” and” Tasks left “
Observadorpt says
Hi
Friends With Benefits trophy – the mission in chapter 2 that we play poker with the drunk priest in the flack something station counts for this trophy? because i forgot about this trophy and miss playing poker in the camp in chapter 2 but i have done this mission in chapter 2.
DR-INSANE95 says
no, you need to play games in the camps. you can play dominoe’s with Tilly or Five finger fillet. just keep sleeping til you get the person to appear to play.
Jyejitsu says
The “No Traitors” trophy is “glitched” but not in a bad way. I unlocked it before ending chapter 5. It popped for me after replaying a stranger mission called “Do not seek absolution – II”. I finished that quest earlier today but stopped playing. I just replayed the mission once I loaded up the game via the progress replay. After I completed the replay the trophy popped out of nowhere.
Lollapalooza says
I’m at the beginning of chapter 6 but i haven’t unlock “NoTraitors” trophy. I suppose is a glitch and i don’t know how to get it. Already done “Do not seek absolution – II” and other secondary missions but trophy is not unlocking…Any suggestions?
Naz says
*STRANGER QUEST SPOILER*
In the stranger quest where you have to find the zebra, tiger, lion.. it turns out the last animal is actually a lion. Does the lion count towards zoologist or no?
PowerPyx says
It’s just a dog in a lion costume, not an actual lion. So no, doesn’t count – the game is just playing a joke with this whole quest.
Naz says
The first “lion”, yes. But then there’s a lion in emerald ranch.. It makes you think it’s a dog, but turns out it’s an actual lion. You get a lion paw trophy out of it.
PowerPyx says
Ah that one doesn’t get added to the compendium so no worries, it doesn’t affect the animal trophies, doesn’t count. Only the animals in compendium count.
Jonas Mathiasen says
I thought about that too but I’m pretty sure you didn’t have any chance to study it and you couldn’t skin it. So I don’t think it counts.
Erogenous Jones says
Green iguana, and Cuban land crab are definitely not missable. I just got them in chapter 3, on the large island in flat iron lake that is directly across the water from where your canoe is stored in camp. (the island with the small shipwreck)
DR-INSANE95 says
Hi All, to everyone going for the Gold Rush Trophy, ( 70 gold medals in story missions) you don’t need all requirements in one playthrough. you can do lets say. just headshots. then next replay you can work on another part of the requirement like Catch an hogtie within 45 seconds. you don’t need to complete them all in one go. i thought you would like to know as not many have covered this.
it.ends says
Thanks, I thought otherwise since a guy on YT stated you have to do everything in one playthrough. So it seems to be like it was in GTAV.
JL12 says
hmm, I haven’t replayed any missions yet but PowerPyx says the objectives have to be done in one attempt. ill replay a short mission right now and see if you are right
JL12 says
nope you have to do all objectives in one go
IVAN666 says
I don’t quite understand what you mean.Do you have a video to show?
Fred says
Just a little discovery for anyone who might have encountered the same problem as me:
If you can’t find any animals in the safe vicinity Guarma, try restarting the game and they’ll spawn. Loading saves doesn’t seem to work.
Robert says
Restarting game is not a great idea, its way more faster to just run into red zone and get killed, that way new animals spawn, i did this method and pretty much found everything possible in 2 hours or so.
Fred says
Yes, getting killed is the ideal method for finding these animals.
But what I was referring to is more likely a glitch that there are absolutely no animals on the entire island, in that case, reloading saves for some reason does not respawn the animals, only restarting the game would do.
dj batfink says
Can you miss some mission’s by mistake?
The guide say’s “A Fisher of Men is unlocked when you complete Paying a Social Call”
I’ve completed “Paying a Social Call” but “A Fisher of Men” Quest Giver: Abigail, Chapter: 2 hasn’t shown up. Thanks
dj batfink says
Ok after doing a few more missions it’s now showed up for me.
inter5tella says
I can confirm that the china pig can already be found in St. Denise in the worker slums and the Cuban crab can also be found on some beach sides before chapter 5.
DR-INSANE95 says
If your struggling with challenges in story mode. its actually glitched.. I got a GOLD on ” pouring forth Oil II ” and in the tick box apparently nothing is done.
LukasOxik says
What i have to exactly craft for the trophie ” Self Sufficient” ? I crafted 30+ bullets all the types, cooked 20+ meals but still dont have a trophie. Any help?
Evrydainormalguy says
It has to be separate recipes. Quickest way I did it was have oregeno, thyme, and mint and go through all the meats you have and season them. Each one is a different recipe
MrARCO says
Hi! I’m currently at the beginning of chapter 3, and i want to make sure i have all the missable side quests. However, i cannot backtrack the Quest Money Lending and Other Sins. I have the quest “Money Lending and Other Sinds III” ( Bronze ) in my mission overview, but i cannot remember if i did a certain one. I did remember i collected money from a Polish guy, and a farmer, but i cannot remember doing the other one, but maybe i was just tired.
So my question is: If i have ” Money Lending and Other sinds III “in my log and on the R* socialclub site, does that mean i automaticly did 1 and 2? I’m kinda nervous to think i missed one, and i dont want to replay 2 entire chapters. Thanks!
Naz says
I’d go back if I were you. There was 3 debtors you had to collect from. You have to make sure you collected all 3 to ensure you won’t have to go back.
Nartos89 says
You can still collect the remaining two debts (if you only collected one debt for “Money Lending and Other Sinds III”) in chapter 4. Thats what I did and the trophy still popped up. If I remember correctly part 1 and 2 are just cutscenes.
Marston says
Lending a hand trophy is 90% completed for me .. did i miss something pyx?? I remember doing everything in the game.
J says
Is there a gold medal glitch for “not taking any health items” during missions?
I’ve yet to take one during a mission and I never get a check mark for it even though I’ve seen it come up at least 5 times.
Naz says
Reloading check points, eating food, dying, etc. All void this requirement. Avoid all of these.
Michael says
Do you need Chapter 2: Pouring Forth Oil (II) for 100% Story? Socialclub site says 17/18 Missions in Chapter 2 for me.
PowerPyx says
No. Just complete story and you get 100%.
Daniel says
How come you have not marked It’s Art trophy as glitched? A lot of people saying its’s not popped for them.
PowerPyx says
We’re still looking for the last possible spawn points of the statue. I don’t think it’s glitched, people just haven’t found all the spots of it or didn’t put it back often enough.
DR-INSANE95 says
Im pretty sure you get invited to Ms Hobbs Hut where she gives you the Statue.
rae says
i hate this trophie i finished the game and i only found a squirrel once ive been looking for days haha so annoying
Chapter2PouringOil says
For players who missed “Pouring Oil II” in Chapter 2.
Are they locked out of the platinum?
PowerPyx says
No.
Robert says
Just received Landing a hand trophy even without chapter 6 ED location quest.
Robert says
Ok my bad i did complete do not seek absolution ED location quest, so nevermind me.
Daniele says
Justin wanted to confirm for everyone that Guama animale are NOT needed for the animals trophies, People found out yesterday
Tyler says
I’ve done all but the last main mission in chapter 4, and still not one companion activity has shown up. I’ve done stranger missions, I’ve slept again and again and spent countless hours just wandering around the map skinning animals but still no companion activity. Is this a bug or is there a reason I haven’t seen one yet? It’s irritating me that I can’t move on without doing it for the trophy.
Condoriano says
It’s a glitch. At the start of Chapter 4 you must finish the first 2 main quests without doing any side quest.
Michael says
Try sleeping Till evening in your bed. After that pearson wanted to go hunting with me. Had done some side missions before
OTPYG says
Hey all,
The ‘Of Men and Angels’ mission. I found it fine, I donated $10, when the game saves after this mission it pops up as ‘Of Men and Angels I’. But according to this guide there is also a OFaA II? Does anyone know when I will unlock this? Cheers.
DR-INSANE95 says
Shortly After head to Saint Denis, look around for a big church. It wasn’t marked for me but this is where you meet the nun before u see her in part of another mission
OTPYG says
Yeah I know where the big church is and I found the nun there once, and donated my $10, but when the game auto-saved it said only Part I had been completed. I’ve been back many times since and no Part II opportunity has presented itself.
DR-INSANE95 says
I thought i would share my insights on a certain challenge.
Gambler Challenge 5. You need to win games without picking tiles up from the table. its worded to make you think you need to win without losing a tile from your board. but thats not true. Best Location for this is Saint Denis.
Platfoot (Xbox) says
I’m sure I completed Money Lending and Other Sins IV. Sold the cougar skin and put the money and the brooch in the donation box. The prompt even changed from “Donate” to “Pay off all debts”. When I check my progression for chapter 3, the mission wasn’t there, and the achievement did not register more progress. It’s no longer in my log either. Luckily I have a save just before I pressed the “Pay of all debts” button, something is definitely buggy.
Jonas Mathiasen says
Only “Money Lending and Other Sins III” gets added to the mission log. “Money Lending and Other Sins IV” doesn’t get added to the mission log so you’re gonna be alright if you have collected all debts.
DR-INSANE95 says
Lending Money and other sins IV wont show up in log or missions done. its not a bug just the way the games made it.
Keith says
I’ve been keeping an eye on the companion activity quests for the trophy. I’ve done ones in the camps in chaptes 2 and 3 but I’m a great deal into chapter 4 and have yet to see a single activity at the camp. I’ve been talking to everybody there but nothing pops up. I’ve been was looking at IGN’s wiki page just at the mission titles to avoid specific spoilers and it appears to be that I am at the final mission for this chapter.
Am I screwed out of this trophy now or can I get it later, possibly after chapter 4 (please no specific spoilers)? I’ve been making backup saves but some of the missions go on for too long in my opinion.
Braden says
Not sure why they won’t appear, but I know you HAVE to get it unlocked before chapter 4 ends.
Keith says
Is there a point of no return for activities in Chapter 4? Do you have to do them before the Battle of Shady Belle?
Fang says
Is the mission “High and Low Finance” (special edition bonus mission)will effect on 100% complete?
I’ve done all but the last main mission in chapter 4. Now there is only a few NPCs in the camp. I don’t know it’s a bug or something. In socialclub my Chapter mission is 13/15 (one is the last main mission). The bonus mission is missing.
king says
so can chapter 5 be skip? like i dont need to hunt the animal there r-right?
iPegisteri says
my game glitched and i was not able to skin the legendary bison, do i have to start a new game and skin every animal to get the skin animals trophy?
ScoobyDooPL says
Not sure if that counts towards Errand Boy and I can’t tell cause I’ve already got the trophy but in Part II of Epilogue Uncle asks you for a favor. If you click left on d-pad in Log it is entitled Camp Item Request, “Uncle has asked for items to make a remedy”. It seems as if it could count towards the trophy so if you don’t have and you are already past chapter 4 there still might be chance to get the trophy if you’re 4/5 on errands.
DR-INSANE95 says
need to wait til chapter 4. because of other stuff before.
Syed Zain says
I have few questions about challenges
1) restarting checkpoint negates the challenge (for accuracy u must complete the mission in one go as I have tried it myself but I am asking for other challenges) ??
2) pause the game count the time ??
3) restarting checkpoint count as death or not ??
Lucas Masacaro says
The “completed mission” sign did not appear at the end of Money lending and other sins IV, although I delivered both debts, is this glitched?
Naz says
There’s no medals for it, so it doesn’t log.
But as long as you did both, you’re fine.
FelSasGru says
You dont need Pouring Forth Oil – II to Lending a Hand trophy, I didnt do it and got the trophy
DLMTIGERS says
On the “Skin Deep” trophy do you actually have to kill the animal or just skin it? Funny thing on the Legendary Coyote when I was tracking him and found him he was dead already , I did skin him and got credit for that but in the progress tracker it still shows 0/1 killed skinned says 1/1? Anyone know if that is still ok for the trophy or did it glitch it?
Zoultaker says
I had that happen too, legendary animals automatically die if something or someone disturbs your hunting activity, which is stupid. I really hope legendary animals don’t count
Toast says
What happens if you asked Dutch in chapter 2 for a pipe and complete it in chapter 3, will that still count towards the “friends with benefits” trophy?
miller88 says
I missed “Friends with Benefits” the first playthrough. However I have previous saves that I can go back and do it. My question is, can I still get 100% completion trophy on my main save without that being done? It says I have completed all the missions (its checked off on the total completion menu) if you were wondering.
shi says
Tilly’s request (Necklace) can also be done in chapter 3 (I’m doing at afternoon, not sure how to see what time it is). The guide says only in chapter 2.
Anton says
Somebody just discovered the last location of the Squirrel Statue. It’s just to right of the last n of the word “Shann” – at the top of Mount Shann. I just went up there and after picking up the statue, the trophy “It’s Art” popped right away.
ManiacsAngel says
For the It’s Art Trophy 6th Squirrel Statue Location: The Squirrel Statue will be on Top of Mount Shann near the Giant’s Corpse Collectibles Location. Just go on the summit of that area of the Mountain and you’ll find it and receive the “It’s Art Trophy” immediately.
PS4VSXBOX says
So I’ve got the bug where 4 characters (Sadie John Jack Abigail) disappear during chapter 2 and supposedly return at some point in chapter 4. Does anyone know if this affects the platinum trophy? I’ve completed 45% of the game and I’m in chapter 3..
Rabbit says
Even if they were fone for ever you wouldn’t be locked out of the platinum. Without spoiling the game: a few missions in chapter 4 all the characters will be having a party including the missing ones. Talk to the missing people and they should be there for ever now.
PS4VSXBOX says
Thanks for the reply. Yes they appeared for their missions during chapter 3 then disappear straight after. Now in chapter 4 they’re all back at the camp. Hopefully this glitch can been patched soon, as I’m gutted to have missed out on all their dialogues and requests in chapters 2 and 3.
Vanyar1 says
Hey there 🙂
“Errand Boy” doesn’t seem to be missable. In Epilogue – Part II Uncle asks for five items which count towards that trophy. That request is still open after finishing the game so you can’t miss the trophy ^^
karlik-svk says
One question, Skin Deep & Zoologist, have to be done during story (chapter 1 – end story) or can be done after I finished whole story line?
Meghia says
it can be done after you finish the story
Tomm says
Hey
Do Not Seek Absolution – have popped for me at the end of chapter 5. I had a a maximum honor achieved by then.
Tomm says
Also forgot to add – Money Lending and Other Sins (VI, VII) – with a full honor can be done at the end of chapter 5 too.
ASSASSINA-SAN says
I’m sure this guide is grueling so thank you in advance but is it possible to add which missions in lending a hand won’t pop up in your log?
PowerPyx says
Good idea, I’ll add this shortly.
zEnO79 says
Has anyone else ran into a glitch where all the water in the game is just the one shade of light blue with no detail at all and the edges of the water are zig zags and if you go into it you just start falling into white nothingness screaming for ten seconds and then you just morph back to the edge of the water which is still the same light blue. Haven’t seen anything on google about it ( bit of a worry ).
zEnO79 says
I have lost huge parts of the land now it kind of looks like water and if I walk onto it I fall into the void then get transported back to the side. Tried reloading save but it’s still there. I uploaded it to YouTube under the title ‘Red Dead Redemption ground gone glitch’ so you guys can see for yourself. Not sure what to do now.
kenichi says
Does it need to study legendery animals to get this trophy(zoologist)?i missed three of them 🙁
Andrew says
im fairly confused on the chapter 6 missions. I only got do not seek absolution 1 and 2. No other missions spawn(and that is a huge list you have for chapter 6). I did a mission for dutch and didnt know it was the end of chapter 6 already, but i was able to reload an autosave before that mission. Now I am here in chapter 6 and still no missions available
Andrew says
nevermind. Didnt realize you actually had to get really close to the spots for the missions to show up
Mbs says
Breaking and Entering trophy
when I break into Father Arguing with son house
then shot father the trophy is pop up
No need to loot everything
James M says
I got the collectible trophy after getting the 13 legendary fish
One1990 says
Does dying in the middle of the optional story missions have any negative impact on the trophy ?
I mean if we die on normal playthrough and then back to do it again ,the missions doesnt count?
Arash says
hi
honor missions needs for 100%?
Dex Lucis says
Man finding the Western Bull is so incredibly annoying. Its the last animal I need and I just can’t find it anywhere. I checked all the locations that I found on PSN Profiles and nothing…
Any advice?
Chris says
Browsing the Rockstar Social Club, I found out that I am missing the “That’s Murfree Country” mission from Chapter 5. I am in chapter 6 right now and thought this was a story related mission that is not missable. The trophy for completing chapter 5 never popped up. Anyone had similar issues? I am so frustrated right now.
Chris says
Ok, you can still play this chapter 5 mission in chapter 6 and then the chapter will be concluded. The mission log seems to be very confuying at this point.
MaMaD_NeXtRO says
I can help you find all animals trophy
Sigma says
For the Breaking and Entering trophy can anyone confirm if the trigger for the trophy is actually the money amount and not just recovering the stash from the 4 homesteads? I went to the Pig Farm for my first stash to steal and followed the guide on what to steal and then went through the events until they took all my money, 125k worth. Upon getting that back the trophy popped immediately.
Anon says
I haven’t read through the comments in case of spoilers but I’ve got the special edition for RDR2 that includes the extra DLCs.
I’m wondering why Charles’ Robbery mission is showing up anymore? It did that one time after (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 4) I rescued Jack but I decided to sleep and the mission’s gone! I slept til Noon, Evening, Night and there’s nothing from Charles! I kept sleeping and it didn’t work so I decided to explore more then came back to camp but still nothing from him.
Naz says
I had this happen too.
It’s likely that the robbery got replaced by a item request.
Charles is sitting on a crate fiddling with a arrow. Complete the request and make sure to collect the reward he leaves in your room to render it completed.
Then sleep to noon, if it doesn’t pop up, manually save and reload. Should pop up now.
Curiosity says
I’d recommend you take out the mini games from the Friends With Benefits trophy because I can confirm 100% that they do not count as camp activity towards the trophy.
UltimaWeapon94 says
They don’t count in chapter 4,but I’m sure they count in chapter 2,because I have done only a fff activity in that chapter and I have got the trophy.
CHRONOSCHRIS says
Does anyone know how to track and study a panther? I know how to get them to appear, I’ve killed one and skinned one but for some reason no option appears to track or study them when I lock on to them. Is there some kind of special way of studying them?
DS says
The way I study a panther. I go to Panther location, put predator bait and go away and wait.
and my first two try, panther did’t spawn, u can try sleep for few days and try again.
edcalde says
im not sure if it works 100% of the times but the way i did it was with a poison arrow, the panther will scape and then will lay on the floor waiting for you to either kill it or let it bleed to dead, while its laying on the floor i was able to study it
Fred says
For studying cougar and panther, if you don’t mind pelt quality, you could shoot it with an arrow(preferably a poisoned one, and avoid critical points), it would withdraw and lay down somewhere, that’s your opportunity to study it. For some reason they can’t be studied if they’re attacking, seems like you can only study them when they’re unaware of you or they lay dying.
RedDead says
do legendary animals count towards the skin deep and zoologist trophy?
Vanyar1 says
“To keep track of your progress, check under Pause Menu > Progress > Total Completion > Strangers. The trophy unlocks later than it should for some reason. It can take 12+ stranger mission strands to pop it. Even if it says 10/10 in Rockstar Social Club, just keep doing more stranger questlines and it will unlock!”
That seems to be wrong. You get progress for the completion when you finish the first quest of a stranger, not a complete strand. So you can’t check it that way.
Also, you get progress to 100% even if a stranger only has one mission and that doesn’t count towards that trophy. That’s why some people say they have to do more than ten strands.
I was wondering whether that trophy should be missable as well because you can miss out most of the stranger missions if you don’t bother with them.
Mohammed says
Have I missed out on the trophy ‘Lending a Hand’ if I completed ‘Javier – Home Robbery’ in chapter 3 and played dominoes as well as the five finger fillet in chapter 2?
Mohammed says
Sorry, I meant ‘Friends With Benefits’
Marston says
For everyone who did the honor story missions and didn’t unlock lending a hand trophy .. replay Home Improvement for Beginners it is in epilogue 2 .. i did this and the trophy popped seconds away .. i had my lending a hand trophy at 90% .. pretty sure i also missed one honor story mission aswell .. powerpyx you should add this therefore many players unlocked the trophy this way..
PowerPyx says
It has been in the guide for a day already :p
madz says
does it still work with the latest patch?
edcalde says
im not sure if it works 100% of the times but the way i did it was with a poison arrow, the panther will scape and then will lay on the floor waiting for you to either kill it or let it bleed to dead, while its laying on the floor i was able to study it
john says
hey guys
if i miss on side mission on rdr2 do i have to all quest from begging the story again or just that specific quest that i missed
john says
sry for misspelling
i missed one side mission on rdr2 , do i have to do all quests from beginning the story again ? or just do specific quest that i missed ?
Chris radford says
You have to start a new game
John says
Yes i know i just wanted to know if i could miss side missions in other chapters(that already done them) to get directly to specefic side mission that i missed or should do all of them again in order??
Kino says
Nice guide!!!
Btw the “Lending a hand” trick isn’t working for me. I finished the game and the patch is 1.02
Any suggestions?
Kino says
Ok, got it. If you did not help Mary’s father just replay that quest and choose to help her. The trophy will immediately pop up. Credits:Hlidskialf on reddit
Big Juicy says
I replayed Fatherhood and Other Dreams II in chapter 4 and the trophy popped for me.
Jonas says
I can totally confirmed that you don’t need any animals from Guarma to get the trophies. Just make sure you skin and study every animal in every main region.
RedDead says
but do u need legendary fish and other animals?
Laurent says
Hi,
Thank you for the guide, as usual, quick and very detailed 🙂
I spent a long time to play the story in order to be sure not missing anything, and i’m currently at the end of chapter 4 and didn’t see any companions activity at all… I tried everything : sleeping, fast travel, side quests, loading a previous save (early chapter 4) but nothing works.
Is this trophy glitched ? Anyone encountered the same problem ? I waste hours because of this and can’t continue the story…
Bananaray says
Hi!
I had the same problem. I dont know if this works 100 %, but what i did was to load a earlyer save from chapter 4, i slept till evening, saved the game and reloaded it directly. After the reload i walked back into camp and the activity with Pearson showed up.
Nitrous_HD says
Hey man I had your same problem.
I was lucky because almost at the end of the chapter I got a mission (home robbery).
Laurent says
Lucky you Nitrous, glad you weren’t stuck like me 🙂
For those encounter the same problem, I finally load a previous save (after Jack’s return) and an activity appeared the next day after doing Tilly’s mission, so i was able to unlock the trophy :D
Robert says
I received collector’s item trophy after catching 13 legendary fish, and after completing catfish quest, so it comes naturally, because you have to catch legendary fish for 100% completion anyway.
Ren says
Do I need to study Legendary Animals for the trophy?
And can I dynamite Legendary fish? I’m starting to think I’m physically incapable of fishing them with a rod.
Robert says
Fishing is actually pretty easy, only hard part is getting right fish to bait, if u use dynamite on fish, u will destroy its corpse, and wont be able to take it. The trick to pull out fish easy is to focus on pulling it out, reeling is not as important as pulling, so when u hook fish, pull it towards your character as many times as u possibly can, while reeling, as soon as fish starts struggle, dont reel, but pull fish to oppposite direction, if fish swims left, pull right, it will reduce its struggle, after struggle is over, pull it towards your character as many times as u possibly can while reeling, and keep repeating this. hope it helps, i havent failed a single fish pull once i learned this method.
Jonathan says
I killed Algie Davison and took the money from the house already (prior to Money Lending and Other Sins V) and can’t activate that quest now…is having collected the debt already sufficient? Or am I screwed?
SnakeLiquid says
So in the end for Skin Deep/Zoologist i need to skin/study every animals in game or one animal for each species?
Nitrous_HD says
Every single animal. Not just one species.
For example there are like three or four species of squirrels and they all have a separate spot in your compendium
KostaM says
Another glith had happened to me, or something alike. Related to study and skinn all the animals.
Devon ox will not appear in my compendium at all. When I find him at any farm where it’s possible, and when I look at him, it says ,Devon ox”, like I have already discovered him, but the spot for him in the compendium is blank. I have even killed and skinned him, but it did not change anything. Anyone whit similar issue or a solution maybe? Would be gratefull.
PS4VSXBOX says
I’m having a similar issue but with the pronghorn. Every time I load up my game and see 1, I have to study it again (same specie), no matter how many times I study and skin them, the game does not save this animal.
Laurent says
Hey there 🙂
Just a tip about the trophy grin and bear it. Here’s a video to farm the bears really quickly, roughly less than an hour, no need to ride away or travel to another town in train, just follow these steps :
youtu.be/lNbQouu_7P8
It worked really fine with me, and thankfully because this trophy is such a pain ahah
Many thanks to Rasel
ELPLeal says
FRIEND WITH BENEFITS HELP
In chapter 2 I did both the Bison Hunt and the Home robbery with Javier…before finishing the chapter, I checked my progress on Rockstar Club and it showed 33%, so I moved to chapter 3.
Moved on to chapter 3 and did play dominoes with Tilly and fished with both Javier and Kieran. However, my progress on Rockstar Social Club didn’t move to 66%….it just got stuck at 33%…just finished chapter 3 to see if the tracker on RSC would move to 66% but it didn’t.
Anyone have a solution????
ELPLeal says
I’m so frustrated with the Friends and Benefits…I did pretty much all activities in chapter 2 and 3…chapter 2 I hunted Bisons with Charles and did home robbery with Javier, checked the status in Rockstar Social Club and it showed 33%…went ahead to chapter 3 and did home robbery and fishing with both Kieran and Javier….but the tracker in RSC didn’t move to 66%…tried several times fishing again with Javier and nothing…moved in to Chapter 4 just to try it and did the stage coach robbery with Lenny and the tracker updated to 66% but no trophy popped…
The problem is in chapter 3…somebody experienced the same?
shi says
Where do I see If my honor level is 4/8. I only see a bar, not numbers
Nitrous_HD says
You have to figure it out.. If you are mid bar that should be 4 out of 8
Danyy says
Well, i have a question about the study all animal trophy, altough the legendaries land animals can be studied, you can also get the 100% of said legendary without having them be studied, so im kinda worried, because i have 9 legendaries now, and almost a complete list of all the animals and sorts, but im worried because the legendary fox i HAVE NOT studied it.
Is studying the legendaries mandatory or not? Or just the regular animals?
Because if it is, its a missable trophy, there is only one legendary of each type, if you kill it and did not study them, you dont get another chance… Can someone please confirm that the legendaries do not need to be studied…
Because you only have Track/Kill/Skin for legendaries in compendium, no study aperantly required… But when you hunt them, the study option does appear… Im really worried because the last manual save i made is long ago, and tracking the animals is tiresom, so i hope there is no need to study the legendaries…
Thanks in Advance!
DR-INSANE95 says
They are not mandatory for the trophy. you only need 160/178
Rdr is better than Gta says
Errand boy is not missable, you can deliver 5 items to Unckle after finishing epilogue.
DR-INSANE95 says
Hey Guys, so i found a solution to solve your bull**it Standard Guns for replaying missions. Use a mission where you can head to a GUNSMITH. I chose ” A Quiet Time ” for this. Pick the guns you want added to your saddle bag or on your shoulder. then when you start another mission. You will have that best weapon and all your weapons available to use. I found this extremely helpful. Hope this can help you guys too!
Coonrod321 says
Gran and Bear It Tip: You can take to the train to Wallace Station and there will be a Grizzly just West and slightly north between and Watson’s Cabin. Take the train away camp until the next morning, then take the train back and one will be there again. Spawn moves slightly but that forest is littered with Grizzly bodies, you do not need to wait three days or whatever. Just make sure to TAKE THE TRAIN! Otherwise you’re back on random spawns.
DR-INSANE95 says
GOLD RUSH Trophy tip. For Headshots and accuracy.
HeadShots:
You can Headshot animals and Civilians along the way to the objectives.
Accuracy:
You can tag multiple times after a headshot to increase your accuracy. As long as every bullet hits the enemy, Your golden.
Kiyundai says
Hello,
Thanks for the guide !
I just discovered that marko dragic trophy is also missable. I did the quest, but never went to see marko dead. When i went during the epilogue it did not unlock, marko bodies was there but not the electric lantern. Hopefully had a save from chapter 6 (way further than 2 days after i did the quest) and it unlock the trophy
PowerPyx says
This could be a single case bug though. Needs more confirmation. Thanks for the heads-up!
Kiyundai says
Has it happens, i came back to marko after finishing the second epilogue and i did have the cinematics with the lantern next to the professor.
Nitrous_HD says
If anybody is interested in going for the online trophies tomorrow send me a friend request (PSN).

Reaver says
Hello.
First of all thank you for this guide.
I have a question about posse up.
Do you just need to create a persistent posse?
Or do you need someone to join you posse before the trophy unlocks?
DR-INSANE95 says
So i discovered something when going for GOLDS.
Rockstar social club not only tracks your progress for the Trophy but i noticed that after some golds the percentage skipped up 2-3% sometimes. With the logic behind this is maybe its based on how long and hard the missions are.
Meaning that you dont actually need 70 golds. As others have said they have unlocked it at 68-73. maybe this is just based on because of how many easy ones they have done (1%’s)
Robert says
70 units will not add same percentage when you aiming for 100% thats basic math.
Nitrous_HD says
Hey Pyx, thanks for the guide!
I accidentally studied a parrot in Guarma and now I have it in my compendium. I know that Guarma animals are not needed for “Skin Deep” and “Zoologist” trophies but since the parrot is now in my compendium does it screw things up or not?
If anybody else has this “problem” let me know, cheers 🙂
PowerPyx says
No worries, this is fine and doesn’t affect anything negatively. The Guarma animals just count as “extras”. How many (or if any) of them you skin/study does not affect the trophies.
DjCala says
All’s Fair is a pain in the ass…..No One play free roam missions…i don’t know what people do in free roam.
zEnO79 says
Tell me about it ! Haven’t seen a single one happen in a whole day of play. Almost at the point of begging on the mic for someone to start one and let me stop them. Got the supposedly difficult 3 time mvp in about 30 mins (didn’t foresee all’s fair being the trophy killer).
Pete says
I had 2 pop up within an hour last night and both had full lobbies, but I’ve never actually seen one on the map for me to start. Never seen a gang hideout either after it tells you about them in the tutorial. Maybe you have to progress with the online story to unlock it all?
Misshandlad says
I got the All’s Fair because some Posse targeted me for Assassination, wasn’t sure what that was all about, but managed to escape them for 5 minutes and the Trophy popped. Should be boostable if you just can target anyone like this?
Not sure how it works as I just started online and got it like 30 mins after completing the online tutorial
Robert says
For mvp trophy, do you have to be mvp 3 games in a row?
PowerPyx says
No, just any 3 games.
Rickie says
looking for a hand with 2 online trophies All’s Fair & The Real Deal psn Rickie182 want to get these asap so i can then just take a more relaxed approach to the game i work funny hours so message me to sort out times and groups
nic says
hi how can we get the real deal?
Madz says
Has the easy way to get the lending a hand trophy been patched out? Or can you still get it with the latest update installed?
Alwyn Malan says
It still works after 1.03
Gladorbir says
Is patch 1.03 ruined a cheat missable trophy for someone ?
Alwyn Malan says
From what I could read on the internet it seems as if it still works after 1.03.
Alwyn Malan says
I can confirm it still works after patch 1.03. Unlocked it last night
Alwyn Malan says
Great work man thank you!
You just seriously need to add some info for lending a hand trophy…despite that you can unlock it via a glitch.
The mission “Of Men and Angels” in chapter 6 is only available for a limited time…or rather between A Fork in the Road and The Fine Art of Conversation. You have it in your Of Men and Angels walkthrough but not in this guide.
I missed out on the lending a hand trophy because I didn’t know the mission would disappear.
Now rushing through the epilogues to glitch the trophy before it is patched.
PowerPyx says
There is a linked mission overview in the trophy description that shows in what order you should do each story mission, so it’s there already. If you don’t stick to the given order, then some stuff will disappear.
Daniel says
For the All’s Fair trophy, does my friend have to be in a permanent posse or can he just create a temporary posse?
Thanks
Alwyn Malan says
Temporary posse is fine to get this trophy.
Michael says
lots of complaints in the comments so I just wanted to come and give kudos. You did an awesome job with this guide, and helped me a lot on the road to this insane platinum(should have it soon, gold metal trophy sucks).
Dean says
I’m full health, stamina and dead eye but the thing on the 100% checklist has not ticked do you know why this is?
leg says
Need to complete all the challenges.
Kurghan says
Finished chapter 5 and trophy didn´t pop, someone know how to fix this?
Kurghan says
Ok nevermind, solved it, seems that I still have to do one last chapter 5 mission while in chapter 6.
Aerchion says
You dat that u don’t need the animals in chapter 5, but why does fer the Lance snake is in the list of 178 animals ?
Jonas Mathiasen says
For the “Bountiful” trophy, you don’t actually need to get a 250$ bounty in New Austin if you are going for the trophy after story. I got the trophy today and I got a 250$ bounty in Ambarino, New Hanover, Lemoyne and West Elizabeth and then just rode to New Austin where I set up a camp and slept until the trophy popped. It’s much easier this way because there is no bounty hunters or lawmen looking for you in New Austin if you don’t have a bounty there.
Ricardo BR says
Just a tip, for the trophy ”HOME COMFORTS” must buy all the flags at one time, otherwise it will not work!
PowerPyx says
Hmm I too bought them all at once. Sounds like a bug, I’ll add a note.
Ricardo BR says
Thanks for the great guide PowerPyx. I am from Brazil and I have been accompanying your work for a long time, which has helped me a lot.
Alwyn Malan says
For Buckle Up you can add reaching maximum honor rating as a gold award as well. Only level 12 myself and already have it…only chose the honorable options in my missions and hardly tried increasing my honor tbh.
Chris radford says
Where have you got 337,100 from to reach rank 50?? It takes nowhere near that. I’ve added it up myself and it only takes 170,425 to reach rank 50.
It takes 337,100 to reach rank 50 in the first red dead. So have you copied it from that? I’m either completely wrong or the guide is completely wrong. And i’m pretty sure it’s the guide.
PowerPyx says
Hey, you are right about that… I looked this up online and what I found for Red Dead Online Ranks was apparently from the first game taking 337k XP. These numbers are wrong for RDR2 and I never realized you can see the XP per level when you press X on the rank unlocks (they’ve hidden this a bit). I added up all ranks according to the Rank Unlocks Menu and the total is 175,300XP. I’ve updated it here, thanks for spotting this! Nobody realized this in weeks.
Chris radford says
Haha no worries. Yeah i only just realised because i too looked at that first rdr xp chart and it just didn’t add up because it was saying on most levels you needed 8-10k xp. Well that’s not the case. It’s more like 4-5k. So i added them all up.
Capukkion23 says
Hello, is there someone available to boost “All’s Fair” trophy?
Giano says
hello i can help you with that i too need to get that trophy and im searching for someone to boost it with mine psn name is giano_fox so if your still searching or want to help just add me or if someone else reads this and wants to do or help me just add me on ps4
Alwyn Malan says
Another easy gold award for Buckle Up trophy is 100 gold nuggets. If you do some racing you’ll get there pretty quickly. It requires some skill as winning obviously grants more nuggets but I only done some racing for about 2 hours and already have this award.
Sophie Loake says
ok i have task on my log it says mission brief Carolina parakeets . The carolina parakeets is an endangered species….. Checklist Hunt Carolina parakeets…. AND i already have so why is it still there or how many u gotta do or anyone got any answers as it really doing my jar in now
Alwyn Malan says
For the Real Deal trophy…racing is by far the easiest method. That said add a note that says buy some blood pressure tablets as it is an infuriating exercise to win races.
Giano says
and for people problem try to do hostile territory in the 16 player mode and just keep standing in one zone for the whole game or if you die try to keep going back to a zone of your team and continue standing and defening it as in that game mode the mvp goes to the person who stands the longest in the zones
Giano says
for people who have problem with races *
moonman says
thanks @PowerPyx for the great guide keep up the good work.
Sadowy97 says
Hi can somebody tell me do I need Legendary Animals to do the Skin Deep trophy?
Giano says
no you dont need legendary animals
DR-INSANE95 says
SKIN DEEP/ ZOOLOGIST
You only need Animals that are in the main parts of the game, not chapter 5 or the Legendary animals
Sadowy97 says
Thanks guys
Bob says
You do not need a $250 bounty in New Austin to get that trophy. Just the 4 northern states are needed.
Chris says
Hey accidentally missed “of men and angels” is there any way to go back after “the fine art of conversation” or do I have to restart my game and do all of the honour missions again???
plz I’m desperate
A7madTheAssassin says
Thank you so much for this amazing guide, finally i got the Platinum Trophy.
Dro Mora says
would you mind adding me on psn and helping me get a few of the online trophies that are possible with a partner? I’m looking to boost “All’s Fair” and “Notorious”… my PSN is dro2020
craggy25 says
I know I am a little late to the party as only recently got the game. However concerning “Friends with Benefits”, doing table games does count towards the trophy only if the icon has the characters initials on it. These spawn randomly. I played Dominoes with Tilly at the beginning of Chapter 3 with the initials “TJ” on the domino icon. I have not done anything else in Chapter 3 and in Rockstar Social Club the percentage has increased to 66%. Just letting you guys know. Also, great guide Powerpyx! Cheers.
ericenrique13 says
I was able to get the Errand Boy trophy on Chapter 6. I had 4 out of 5 requests delivered and them I found a necklace for Tilly, went back to Beaver Hollow camp, gave it to her and the trophy popped!
Christian says
omg the animal trophy is a Pain in the *** its all luck based on the spawn location fuck its stupid.
used 15 hours on western Bull moose and that is only one animal.
Rockstar have Really fucked on this one.
thaglitcher says
Does Lending a hand glitch still work with the new version 1.06?
alawi says
I have 106/107 story mission, I have missed the collecting of the oil wagon, I was doing other stuff, when I got back to camp at horseshoe John told me he already took care of it , I have beaten the game already, does this affect my 100% because am doing the challenge now , that’s what left in my progress
PowerPyx says
It doesn’t affect the 100%. Missable story missions aren’t required for 100% game completion.
jciken says
Can anyone unlock the “Series Major” Trophy?
Tried featured series and race series but it didnt pop up
Already earned the MVP trophy but this seems bugged for me.
Its also impossible to join Showdown series cause it wont load
jason says
in the rock star social club it says there are 18 missions in chapter 2 but I have only done 17. all walkthrough guides indicate there are 17 in chapter 2 does anyone have an idea what the missing one is. im at chapter 3 now hope it doesn’t effect any trophies
jason says
sorry should have mentioned its the seventh mission the one after blessed are the meek
hack_a_zach_ says
For those interested the glitch for Lending A Hand still works
