Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game where we have a huge world , full of all kinds of legendary animals. Those who play this popular title are interested in knowing what these legendary animals are that we find in the world. In addition to knowing the location where all of them are, because it is something essential when playing.
There are over 200 different animals in the game, although luckily, the number of legendary animals is much smaller . Below we tell you everything you need to know about legendary animals in Red Dead Redemption 2. This will help you to be able to play better in this game.
Legendary animals in Red Dead Redemption 2 can only be hunted once . In addition, we only get to them through clues and if one gets away, we have to repeat the entire process to be able to hunt it again. We can use their skin to craft items at any time.
Legendary brown bear Baharati
This beast is known for being very aggressive , in fact, it is possible that it will lunge at you before you can stop it. So if this happens, which is quite possible, you will have to use the melee button, in order to win. If you don’t do this, it will kill you immediately. As for weapons, it is best to use the shotgun, especially if you see it coming from afar, which is something that happens to some users in the game. Before it lunges at you, unload Dead Eye on its face. It is a beast that we know for sure in the story of the game.
Legendary Elk
It is located in the northeast corner of the map , next to the river. We will only have to follow the trail and we will not have too many problems finding it. This beast is white and very large, although it is not aggressive. Therefore, if you are riding a horse, a shotgun blast is enough to kill it.
Legendary Beaver
It is located in the hunting area west of Van Horn , next to the river bank. You will have to search the bank for clues. On the third one is when you will see it. It is advisable to have the horse nearby, because it is an animal that runs away quickly if it sees us, so with a horse we can catch up with it. Luckily, it is not aggressive, and it generally puts up little resistance.
Legendary Puma
This legendary animal can be found in Gaptooth Ridge, west of Tumbleweed in Red Dead Redemption 2. When you are in this area, you have to make sure that your life cores are full , as well as Dead Eye. Also, take food or tonics to keep them full. Since we are dealing with a dangerous animal, cougars are possibly the most dangerous in Red Dead Redemption 2.
It is important to be careful, especially to avoid being caught from behind , because if it does, we are dead. Also if it comes from the front, we have to be careful, because it is fast, so we have to react quickly. The essential thing to do against this beast is to use a powerful weapon, such as a good shotgun, as well as having Dead Eye activated. When shooting, shoot at its vital parts.
Legendary fox
This legendary animal can be found in Mattock Pond , north of Rhodes. It is an animal that stands out for its fast movements, although it is generally harmless. To be able to eliminate it before it escapes, it is best to use the rifle and have it on hand if we are in the area.
Legendary Boar
The boar is an animal found in the area north of Lake Lagras, north of Saint Denis and southwest of Van Horn. To the surprise of many, it is one of the least aggressive legendary animals in Red Dead Redemption 2. It usually hides easily in the undergrowth in the area, making it easy to escape. Therefore, you have to shoot quickly if you see it.
Legendary Pronghorn
In this case we find it in Rio del Lobo Rock , in Rio Bravo, which is located east of Fort Mercer, and south of Armadillo. Again, we have to go looking for clues and in the third we find ourselves almost in front of this animal. In the third clue we will have to crouch, walk crouched and use a sniper rifle.
We will see this animal easily, since it has white fur, in addition to being short , so it stands out notably in the landscape we are in. You simply have to activate Dead Eye and fire a couple of shots at its neck. This is enough to kill it.
Legendary Giant Caiman
This is a legendary animal that we will only find if we have completed the Country Hunts in Red Dead Redemption 2. If this is the case, then we can find it in Lagras, north of Saint Denis. It is important that we leave the horse untied in this area, because it is an area of crocodiles and it may need to flee if there is one nearby.
If you have him in your sights, it’s a good idea to wait for him to try to turn around. Then, we use Dead Eye and unload our entire gun into his head. Also, before you shoot, if you’re looking for him, don’t go chasing him in the water, because the alligator will have the advantage in that case.
Legendary Wolf
This legendary animal is located northeast of Valentine and northwest of Fort Wallace. If you’ve encountered wolves before in Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll already know more or less what to expect. This is a dangerous and aggressive animal , so you have to be quick. It’s best to use a shotgun, as well as shoot its snout when it lunges at you.
In case he manages to bite you, the best thing to do is to use a melee attack , with which you will be able to stun him. Then you have to shoot, so that you can neutralize him. It is the best way in such cases.
Legendary Panther Giaguaro
We’ll find this panther east of Braithwaute Manor. Although we’ll only find it if we’ve completed Master Hunter Challenge 9 in Red Dead Redemption 2. We have to prevent it from jumping on us , because if it does, then we’re good to go. It’s best to use a carbine or shotgun and approach it on horseback, as well as unload Dead Eye on it.
Legendary Coyote
Located northwest of Rhodes and southwest of Emerald Ranch. This is a fast animal that will run away immediately when it sees us , so we have to be quick when shooting. It is advisable to shoot before it has noticed that we are there. It is not aggressive nor is it especially difficult to kill.
Legendary male deer
We will find this animal in a search area northwest of Strawberry. Its behavior is similar to that of the moose we mentioned before. Therefore, it is advisable to go on horseback , since as soon as it sees us it will run away. So on horseback we can catch up with it as soon as possible.
Legendary Elk
It is located northeast of Valentine, not too far from Fort Wallace. This animal is different from the moose and the deer, as it can be aggressive. Although not always, it is a danger to be aware of. The best thing is that when we see it, we shoot it in the head quickly. It is not difficult to kill and we save ourselves some trouble by being fast, without giving it time to become aggressive.
Legendary White Bison
This legendary animal is found in a hunting area near Colter, in the far northwest of the map. It is an animal that will flee as soon as it sees us, which requires us to be fast. In addition, it stands out for its great resistance to attacks , so we must use a powerful weapon, such as a sniper rifle. It will be the most effective in this case.
Once we’ve spotted him, we find a position to shoot him. We stand still, use Call so he’s facing our position, use Dead Eye and shoot his head . One shot will probably be enough. If that’s not possible, we’ll have to use another weapon and basically shoot him to death.
Legendary bison Tatanka
It is located in Henningan’s Stead, just southeast of the McaFarlane ranch in Red Dead Redemption 2. It is a resistant animal like the previous one, with which it shares many elements. Therefore, you have to use a powerful weapon to finish off said resistance as soon as possible. The good part is that it is not fast, and it is located in a wide area, so we have room to move to be able to finish it off as soon as possible.
Legendary mouflon ram
We found this animal to the northwest of Valentine. It is an animal that usually attacks its enemy and then runs away , although it is not particularly dangerous. Although if it manages to knock us down, then before we can catch it or shoot it, it will have already fled. The priority is that it does not attack us. We can approach it on horseback at a gallop and with a shotgun, because this is something that minimizes the chances of escape.
