Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Animals are some of the most valuable creatures you can find out in the wilderness.They require a slightly different approach to, but the core challenge is the same. Meanwhile, the rewards are also different - allowing you to unlock valuable.On this page:.For more help, our explains the requirements for fully completing the game's many story missions. Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Animals requirements and preparationThere are a total of 16 Legendary Animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, but only 10 of them can be found and hunted in the wild once you complete Chapter One and leave the mountain.

Three are locked either in specific story missions or as part of Hunting Challenge milestones. These are as follows:. Legendary Bharati Grizzly Bear requirement - Unlocked after completing the mission in Chapter Two. Legendary Bullgator requirement - Featured in the 'Country Pursuits' mission in Chapter Four. Legendary Giaguaro Panther requirement - Unlocked once reaching rank nine in the Master Hunter challengesA further three are located in the area to the southwest of the map and can only be accessed once the bounty in Blackwater has been lifted.

To do this, you'll need to complete Chapter Six and reach the Epilogue.You can pay off the bounty in this region, but Blackwater completely cuts off this final area and you'll likely be killed by lawmen and bounty hunters before you make it through. These three Legendary Animals are:. Legendary Cougar requirement - Complete Chapter Six to access. Legendary Pronghorn requirement - Complete Chapter Six to access. Legendary Tatanka requirement Bison - Complete Chapter Six to access. Here to find Legendary Animal locations in Red Dead Redemption 2This page features a list of Legendary Animal locations in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it's not a simple case of going somewhere and the animal simply appearing - you first need to track the beast in question before you get a shot at taking down.To do this, enter the area in question and the game will inform you that you've entered the territory of a Legendary Animal.Now start exploring the area until a white question mark appears on the mini-map (we found running in a wide-ish circle eventually reveals this marker).

This denotes the first clue you'll need to follow (out of a total of three per animal). This will have a golden plume of dust above it when in Eagle Eye mode.Follow all three track clues and you'll be less directly to your Legendary Animal prey. It's also important to know that these unique creatures won't spawn of there's too much activity in the area.

We found setting up a camp nearby tended to reset this issue.Here are the Legendary Animal locations we've found so far:.Legendary Wolf locationLegendary Animal Location: Cotorra Spring, west of Bacchus Bridge. Follow all three clues (dung, fur and carcass) then the fight begins. The wolf will be patrolling east of the carcass clue, so mount the nearby rocky outcropping, equip your Sniper Rifle and scan for your prey. Land a headshot and the wolf should be far enough away to not to know where you are, meaning you should be able to land a second shot. This animal is /very/ tough, and can kill you even when it's limping.

Use Dead Eye with a Shotgun up close if it tracks you down. Legendary BoarLegendary Animal Location: Bluewater Marsh, north of Lagras. There are only /two/ clues needed to locate this Legendary Animal, rather than the usual three - so don't start sprinting around after the second clue or you'll give yourself away.

His home is located beside the mountain, up a narrow pathway. Climb the rock shown in the screenshot to the left of the pathway, equip your Sniper Rifle and land a headshot on the bear roaming at the top. It'll take four shots to kill him, but if you stick to that spot, he won't be able to get you. Legendary Moose locationLegendary Animal Location: Roanoke Ridge, at the northeast tip of the map.

You'll need to head to the northern edge of Lake Isabella to find the first clue for this Legendary Animal (it also helps to dress warmly for this one as the code exposure will drain your health). The first clue is some fur on a rock by the shoreline.There's some dung atop a rock outcropping to the east of the first clue. Head eastwards along the shore to locate some broken sticks. The bison can be found in the trees in front of you.

He's tough, but not that aggressive, so use a Shotgun, Repeater or Sniper Rifle to bring him down. To the north of Rhodes in the area known as Mattock Pond, you'll find the territory of the Legendary Fox. This is a highly wooded area, so look for the first clue in the first screenshot above. Follow the clues (dung, broken sticks and fur) before heading over the brow of the hill to the other side.At the bottom of the hill, you'll find the fox wandering along the shoreline. While the fox is one of the smaller animals you'll hunt on this list, it's bigger than a regular fox and white, so it's very easy to spot. Strike it with a Bow or Sniper Rifle before collecting your rewards.

Triggering this particular Legendary Animal can be a challenge in itself. The ability to track it (signified by an on-screen prompt, a bullgator image with a crown on your map and a question mark to denote the first clue) should appear once you've completed the mission 'Country Pursuits' during Chapter Four.However, for some players - including us - this hunt would not trigger after completing this mission, even when revisiting the location shown in the first screenshot multiple times. For us, the hunt became available after the beginning of the Chapter Six. Once you've followed the three clues shown in the subsequent screens (broken sticks and two carcasses), the animal itself will spawn. And it's a beast and a half. Be prepared for one of the toughest fights of the game.

Despite its size, the Legendary Bullgator is very fast, and there's very little cover and nothing you can use to gain safe elevation. Focus on throwing dynamite, headshots with your Sniper Rifle and multiple headshots with a Repeater (while in Dead Eye mode) as it charges you.

Legendary Tatanka BisonLegendary Animal Location: Hennigan's Stead, just southeast of MacFarlane's Ranch. Follow all three clues (Dung, Blood and Carcass) then be ready for the fight ahead. The Cougar can usually be found patrolling the hill to the south of the region, so use Eagle Eye mode to follow the track and pick it out among the brush. Hit it with a headshot with your Sniper Rifle, then switch to your Shotgun, activate Dead Eye and hit it up close to down this big cat before it chews you to bits. Legendary Giaguaro PantherLegendary Animal Location: Lemoyne, west of Shady Belle (after completing the Master Hunter challenge, rank nine). There's no real cover so equip your Sniper Rifle, land a headshot to the side, switch to a Repeater, a Shotgun (the Double-Barreled version works very well here) or double Revolver and activate Dead Eye mode.

First off, make sure your Dead Eye meter is filled to the top, so you can rely on it when making a surprise attack or fending off a charging threat. It also helps to have reached the fourth rank of this ability as it means you can identify organs that will prove fatal if hit.

Also make sure you have some powerful weapons, such as a Bow with Improved Arrows or Poison Arrows. A Sniper Rifle and most forms of Shotgun are also very useful when facing Legendary Animals.Finally, remember that these creatures are unique and can only be killed once. Be sure to skin them immediately and take both their pelt and any unique items they produce (such as claws, teeth and horns) as these are vital if you want to craft equally unique.However, if you leave a Legendary Animal kill unlooted, the items will automatically be sent to the nearest Trapper. Other things you should know about hunting Legendary Animals in Red Dead Redemption 2If you want to jump straight into the wild hunt that is the Legendary Animals list - and you don't want to waste any time - here's some of the best tips and tactics for bagging some of the best pelts and remains in the game:. Always make sure you've equipped the correct weapons from your horse before beginning a hunt. Legendary Animals are always bigger than the normal examples of their species, and most are coloured white as well. Make sure you have full Dead Eye, Health and Stamina.

It also helps to fortify all three cores, especially when hunting predators such as bears, wolves and cougars. You won't be able to kill a Legendary Animal until you've followed the clues in its territory. Track the last clue and the beast will appear. You can run between the two-to-three clues, but make sure to crouch when hunting the animal itself.

If you're killed by a Legendary Animal, you'll respawn in the same location but the beast will have fled.
