Undead Nightmare has arrived in Red Dead Redemption to spread a dangerous disease across the game world, capable of turning any living being into zombies . And if you think that the outbreak has only affected humans, you are very wrong. If John Marston can be a zombie, why wouldn’t he be able to ride a matching horse? In this article we tell you how to find the 4 horses of the apocalypse, essential to complete the expansion 100%.
The 4 Undead Nightmare Challenges
Much like Red Dead Redemption’s environmental challenges , the Undead Nightmare DLC has a total of four challenges required to achieve 100% . And although they are not known as environmental challenges here, they actually follow the same pattern: there is one to hone your aim, another to hunt (swapping animals for zombies), another to search for treasures and the one we are dealing with today: the 4 horses of the apocalypse. Between the four challenges, it is possible to add up to 16% of the total.
Of course, if we manage to complete these challenges, we will also get other rewards , such as the treasure chests themselves, or the possibility of getting the horses that we have mentioned so much. That is why we recommend that you complete these challenges as soon as possible , as they will help you in the rest of the game.
The 4 Horses of the Apocalypse Challenge in Undead Nightmare
The first thing you should know is that the four horses are just some of the mythical creatures that we can find in Undead Nightmare. In fact, they are the equivalent of the legendary animals in this expansion. Therefore, they are found from the beginning wandering around the world. In addition, as their name suggests, they are based on “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” , since they even have the same names: War, Famine, Plague and Death.
You should also keep in mind that each of them has a special ability that makes them unique. Although we will see that when we talk about each one in detail. What they all have in common is that they have infinite resistance. That and that if they die we will not be able to assemble them again until we complete the game . Although it will also be possible to use blood pacts .
Pacts are items that function like the horse deeds from the original game. If you have one in your inventory, you can activate the associated horse . Once done, you just whistle to call the horse you’ve chosen. As soon as you finish the game, you receive one of these items. Although it is also possible to get another one before, if you complete the four-horse challenge and kill one zombie of each type with the “Death” horse.
Of course, to complete the challenge it will not be enough to find each of the four wild horses, but we will also have to tame them . Something that is done in the same way as in Red Dead Redemption .
How to find the 4 horses of the apocalypse in Undead Nightmare?
Once we know how the challenge works, the objective will be to find these unique species. To do this, you must know that the horses are distributed throughout the territory . And when we approach the place where one of them lives, a blue marker will appear on the map. In any case, we must not only take into account the place, but also the time . To make things easier for you, we will give you details of each of the four horses .
Finding Plague
- Unique Ability: Nearly Immortal
The first horse is located in the Tall Trees area . More specifically, between the north of that site and the northeast of Cochinay. However, keep in mind that it will only appear if you pass by there around 2 AM.
Finding Hunger
- Unique Ability: He is surrounded by locusts that affect the enemy
Hunger is always hiding between the south of Chuparosa and the east of Tezoro Azu. Also, you must arrive at the location around midnight .
Finding Guerra
- Unique Ability: If you charge at zombies, they will burn
War is always waiting between the area of Gaptooth Ridge and the surroundings of MacFarlane’s Ranch . In this case, we can go a little earlier: around 20:00. His body is engulfed in flames and that is lethal against zombies
Finding Death
- Unique Ability : If we stomp on zombies with it, their heads will explode
The deadliest horse —never better said— appears in the Troquemada area, in Tall Trees . But in this case, it can also appear in other places randomly. If it appears in the first location we mentioned, it will be in the morning. If it appears in other places, there is no specific time. In addition, this horse will be given to us upon completing the last mission of Undead Nightmare.
