The Blackangel Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 RDR2 by far rewards you for searching. There is so much to discover that every time you play it you can, and most likely WILL, find something you never knew about before. Especially if you’re a n00b. For example here’s a short list of just a couple things: Fluorite Ammolite Shrunken Head Ancient Tomahawk Female Fertility Statue Ancient Statue puzzle Mountain Face carving White/Red Chestnut/Warped Brindle Arabian Tricorn Hat All 3 items in the Viking tomb Gold Shield the devil UFO Obelisk Flying Machine There’s also things like trinkets, that you can find. The first 4 that come to mind for me are the shark’s tooth, cat eye, hawk talon, and turtle shell trinkets. If you get the chanupah back for Rains Fall without killing anyone he will give you the owl feather trinket. If you have the special or ultimate edition then you have the eagle talon talisman and iguana scale trinket as 2 of the MANY bonuses the special/ultimate editions give you. This is just the first small handful of things to find. And if you want my opinion, the most obscure and hardest to find of everything in RDR2 is the fluorite and ammolite. If you don’t learn from someone who has already found them, you have literally no chance of finding them. There is nothing in the game that even slightly alludes to their mere existence. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of this game, and I’m still finding new shit all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowHammerYou Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Fallout: New Vegas (Small map by today's standards, but over 300 marked locations and most of them were unique.) Elden Ring (There are certain areas you can only get to by doing really obscure things, or deliberately trying to boundary break the game. If you just do the story, you can miss out on literally half of the explorable areas.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
