In this Red Dead Redemption 2 Trinkets Guide, we will guide you on how you can craft different Trinkets in Red Dead Redemption 2. Trinkets provide you with passive boosts and bonuses. They require fewer resources than Talismans, and almost all of them can be crafted if you hunt down all the Legendary Animals in the game.
We have curated this Red Dead Redemption 2 Trinkets Guide for you in which we have detailed how you can craft Trinkets, which resources are required for each one, and how many different types of Trinkets are present in the game. We have listed all of the Trinkets currently present in the game so that you can pick the best Trinket and craft it.
Trinkets Guide – Red Dead Redemption 2
Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Trinkets Guide details everything that you need to know about Trinkets in Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 2 has 15 different Trinkets, one of which is limited to players who purchased the Special Edition or Ultimate Edition of the game. Standard Edition owners cannot have this Trinket.
Pre-Requisites
Before you start crafting these Trinkets, you will need to do Hosea’s first mission in the game, where he will take you to a special Bear hunt that turns out to be the Legendary Bharati Bear. Once this mission is over, you will be given a Legendary Animals map which is used to hunt down all Legendary Animals in the game.
Now you need to hunt down all Legendary Animals in the game and skin them after killing them. Once they have been skinned, you will get the required materials for crafting Trinkets. Since you need to track and hunt down all Legendary Animals, our guide linked further below will be helpful for you to track them.
