Legendary Animals – Red Dead Redemption 2
Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Legendary Animals Locations Guide details the locations of all Legendary Animals in Red Dead Redemption 2 so you can easily find and kill them. To craft special and unique items, you will need to sell their pelts to a special vendor called Trapper. He will purchase these Legendary Pelts and will then allow you to craft special gear and outfits.
Red Dead Redemption 2 features 16 Legendary Animals for you to find and kill. It is worth noting that you cannot hunt these Legendary Animals until you reach Chapter 2. Start the mission will Hosea who will take you on a bear hunt. Complete the mission and you will be given a special map that will show the rough locations of all Legendary Animals in the game.
Once you have located the animal’s location, you will need to track it down using at least three clues in the area. Once you find the animal, you can use any weapon to kill it. You do not have to specifically opt for bow and arrows. Use any weapon and the quality of the pelt will not be lowered.
