How to Unlock Legendary Animals in Red Dead Redemption 2

During Chapter 2 of Red Dead Redemption 2, Hosea Matthews will provide you with the map pictured just below. This depicts all the rough areas in which you can find the legendary animals scattered throughout the Wild West, but it’ll still take some work to actually track them down. Don't worry if you don't tackle these legendary animal missions until late on in the game as they'll still be available.

Firstly, when you’re in the rough area of a legendary animal, a message will appear in the top left corner of the screen. It reads “You have entered legendary animal territory. Hunt this legendary animal by finding and inspection clues.” When you see this, press both the left and right analog sticks at the same time to initiate the detective-like vision from Arthur Morgan.

In this special mode, you can see the tracks of unique animals. Press the right bumper, and you can lock onto the track, leaving it visible and glowing after you’ve exited the detective mode. You then need to find three clues to the legendary animal, which are marked by a column of light coming out from the ground, and then you can lock onto a final track to lead you to the legendary animal.

As of right now, this is a list of all the legendary animals that we’ve encountered so far in Red Dead Redemption 2. Now that we’re done here, you can check out our Red Dead Redemption 2 Cheats guide, or our main Red Dead Redemption 2 Hunting page for some tips and tricks.
