VoidVictorious Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Should I wait to the end to replay and how rough is it in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-KPN Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 IMO it’s a better experience waiting till the end and getting them on a clean up. It’s relatively easy to get 70 golds, just time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since release they patched it to allow more items in mission replay. It’s not terribly hard-you can just abuse deadeye to get the headshots and accuracy objectives.

Is this also a part of the patch/update that changed the number of items, etc during mission replay? Because originally, everything had to be done in one shot. To OP: My understanding is that replay is a perfectly viable option to do the gold missions (and there are obviously ones that are significantly easier than others). The old way would have been easier to keep an early save (like ch2/early ch 3) and play off that (using replay for early missions) and getting gold on the story missions from there on out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StressEater Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I personally struggled with it. I took a break and plan to go back to it. It is the last difficult trophy for me to finish the game. I was thinking it would be a nice game to finish for my 175th platinum. If they patched it then that is great. If they did not, then you will want to do it as you complete the story so you can have access to all your upgraded weapons and horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorah- Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 My only advice: stay away from missions with time limit requirements. Rest is easy if you watch a youtube guide for each mission and read the comment section for some good advices. the problem with time limit mission is that sometimes the timing is really hard to achieve, sometimes you can’t do it if you watch cutscenes, sometimes you can’t do it if you don’t watch cutscenes, sometimes you have to skip one cutscene but watch the rest... its a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio__HUN Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Now it's much easier. You can use your current, active horse on replays, and you get 3 snake oil-s. If you replay with an arabian horse, the time limits are soooo easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyswfc9 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Its alot damn easier than the animal related trophies and the 100 percent trophy. At least it doesnt require a massive amount of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMCG-3 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I got it before the update made it easier and even though I did them without replays and I had my stuff some were damn near impossible. I did however get gold on every single mission, not just 70 so I would say there are enough easier ones for it to be a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatThaRiPP3R84 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 i did it on xbox 1x. at launch and it was pretty bad, and hard as in replay you were the same level the developers would imagine you'd be if you just hammered the story up to that point, and you had no items whatsoever. certain missions, like breaking the dickhead out of jail and shooting your way through town was impossible on replay so in the end i saved before each mission and spent anywhere up to 5 hrs practicing each one on my first run through, amazing game but insane gameplay. if it's easier now and you get more dead eye and health meters / tobaccos for dead eye return then no problem.

christhedog3 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Definitely much easier than it used to be, but still a slog. I'd personally break it up inbetween doing other stuff. Zoologist and Skin Deep are far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the everyone is right and they added more items in replay for the missions, then that makes your life a hell of a lot easier with replays. I had to redo the whole damn story cause you didn't have items in replay when I did it. The birds are just a pain. Unless they patched something to make that easier too, you just gotta barrel through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1rvine Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) 95% of the animals have a reliable spawn point. Birds can generally be found at rivers. If you study / kill things as you encounter them, this might take an extra day to finish off. The real grind is shooting perfect bird specimens for “It’s Art.” Edited July 16, 2020 by B1rvine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think back then I used a mixture of guides. I mainly used PowerPyx, but if I couldn't find a specific animal on their map I would look it up on youtube and them use a random person's video as a map. But yes, for a majority I used PowerPyx and they were usually spot on. As the person above me said, a vast majority of animals have a specific spawn. I think the birds were the last ones I had to do though because studying them was tricky since they always flew away from me.

VoidVictorious Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Do you find a good deal of the missing animals in the later chapters when New Austin opens up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidVictorious Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Let me elaborate. If I have studied and skinned everything before New Austin opens up, is most of the work finished? I have also done 4 out of 5 of the hunting requests and I am almost finished with the exotics. Is the work to get 70 gold significantly less in comparison to the grinding I’ve already done?

Is the work to get 70 gold significantly less in comparison to the grinding I’ve already done? Yes, there are only ~15-20 animals that are exclusive to skin and study in New Austin. A few birds took some luck (damn owls and rio turkey). Do the exotics before you get to epilogue, or a least the current step. Hunting requests when and where you can, but again don't go into the epilogue with a partially fulfilled request or exotic set. The medals guide I used was https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A-KDkbLHjXM3aRYcidsHNF9MqgObj08RJkcAwgNp990/edit?ouid=115112967549370358311&usp=sheets_home&ths=true and it lists everything (some spoiler); following this guide I had 70 golds trophy before I got the New Jerusalem trophy.

It’s okay to have items for the final hunting request in my satchel though right? She hasn’t sent it since she is on “vacation.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_m4jX Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Your carcasses, meat, gold, herbs, orchids, etc. are gonna be gone. So no point in collecting for the 5th hunting request until the epilogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmeefly Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 So do all requirements still need to be met in 1 run with the new patch or can you tick off some, redo the mission and focus on the others you missed? I think in RDR1 you could do some tick them off and focus on others, not that I can do this until I buy a new PS4 anyway, can’t even run RDR2 for 15 mins without getting a notification saying my Pro is too hot, my heat sync paste is completely gone, have to wait for another 100gb install yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No health items" also means no retries from checkpoints 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
