red dead redemptionis an action-adventure video game series published by Rockstar Games and has proven to be a strong competitor in the gaming market. The first version was released in 2010 and the second version was released in 2018 with a shared context in 19th century American Westerns. With over 200 different species of animals in Red Dead Redemption, these are the legendary animals found so far.
Legendary brown bear of Bharati
Location: North of O'Creagh Run, Grizzlies East. In Chapter 2, you must complete the quest Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego to trigger this hunt.
Only two clues are needed to find this bear. The first clue is some broken sticks and the second clue is some crap. Walk along the path on the side of the mountain and you'll find his house somewhere up there.
The ideal weapons for hunting this animal are long-range weapons, such as sniper rifles or enhanced bows. However, at the start of the mission you might only have a pistol and a regular bow, so you probably won't be able to kill him. Once you have a sniper rifle, return to the hunting ground and take the beast down with a few headshots.
legendary elk
Location: East of Bacchus Station, Cumberland Forest region.
There are three clues to finding this animal: the first is some dung, the second is tree debris, and the third is some fur.
The moose will not attack you. He is easily startled and will try to run away, so be patient and keep your distance as much as possible. Ranged weapons or ranged rifles are ideal for hunting this herbivore. A powerful weapon like the Springfield Rifle is designed to finish off the beast quickly.
legendary cougar
Location: West of Tumbleweed, near Gaptooth Ridge.
Clues to this big cat are dung, blood and carcass. They can be found while roaming or patrolling the south. This animal is difficult to spot as it crouches and does not move. Additionally, this cougar can move quickly and deal massive damage, making it very difficult to take him down. You should use a rifle to give him a headshot and then switch to a shotgun when you're in range of his nibble.
Legendary Coyote
Location: Scarlett Meadows Hills, northwest of Rhodes.
There are three clues to finding a legendary coyote: dung, some fur, and a sheep carcass. This coyote isn't that big, but it's fast. You must do this in a single shot with weapons like the sniper rifle or the Springfield rifle. You may have to use a knife to kill the beast upon reaching it.
legendary fox
Location: Mattock Pond, north of Rhodes.
The clues to finding a legendary fox are dung, some broken sticks, and finally some fur. Along the coast you can see the animal roaming there. This animal is easy to spot because its coat is white. You must kill him on the first shot with rifles or bows. If the fox successfully dodges the bullet and runs into the bushes, it will be difficult to catch up.
legendary beaver
Location: southwest of Butcher Creek, Lemoyne
You can get your first hint on how to find this animal on the southwest coast of Huron Glen. They are broken sticks. The second clue is some crap and eventually more broken sticks. It is located near the riverbank on a small dam. This beast is easy to kill, all you need is a headshot from the worm rifle.
legendary wild boar
Location: Blue Water Marsh, North Lagras.
The first clue to this legendary boar is dung, the second a bunch of broken sticks, and the third even more dung. There are many regular boars in the area, but the Legendary Boar is larger than the others and has light brown hair, so it should be easy to spot. The boar won't attack you, you can take it down with a few headshots from rifles or a few poisoned arrows from a bow.
Legendärer Bullgator
Location: New Bayou, West Lakay. In Chapter 4, you must complete the Country Pursuits quest to start this hunt.
The clues are broken sticks, carcasses, and then carcasses again. This swamp menace is one of the strongest beasts in the game. Although it looks like a giant, it can move very quickly and is extremely durable. You can use explosive rifle ammo to kill him easily. Just go with the Rolling Block Rifle and give him headshots from afar. FYI, this monster will charge you.
legendary dollar
Location: Big Valley, northwest of Strawberry.
The first clue is Fur, the second clue is Dung, and the third is Dung again. The deer is not aggressive, it will not attack you. But it's super fast and can easily dodge you. Also, there are a lot of trees in the area, which makes getting the perfect picture quite difficult. You must take down this beast with a single shot from a rifle like the Rolling Block Rifle.
Legendary White Bison
Location: North of Lake Isabella, Ambarino. You'll need to warm up, as this icy region can quickly deplete Arthur's health.
The first clue is some fur, the second is some manure, and the third is some broken sticks. This bison is difficult to kill, but not aggressive. A high-powered weapon such as a shotgun, bolt-action rifle, or sniper rifle can be used to take him out.
legendary wolf
Location: Cotorra Spring, northwest of Bacchus Station.
A little dung, a little fur and a carcass are the three clues to finding this monster. The wolf is east of the third clue. This is going to be a tough fight as the area is flat and there isn't much scenery and the wolf is tough. It can still kill you even when weak. From afar, headshot the wolf with the sniper rifle so he doesn't know where you are.
legendary elk
Location: Roanoke Ridge, Ambarino.
The first clue is on a tree, the second is manure, and the third is fur. Moose can be found near the lake near Roanoke Ridge. To take him down, you can use a powerful weapon like the Carcano Rifle to do some headshots.
legendary bighorn sheep
Location: Cattail Pond, west of Valentine.
The first clue is manure, the second is a tree cube, and the third, finally, is a skin. The ram patrols a nearby hill. He'll run away if he smells you or if you land a non-fatal blow. A few headshots with a rifle or a bow can help bring this beast down.
Legendary Tatanka Bison
Location: Hennigan's Stead, southeast of MacFarlane's Ranch.
The clues are some manure, some broken sticks, and some fur. The animal is quite large, but it is not aggressive and will run away if you attack it. A few headshots from rifles or a bow are enough to kill the beast.
legendary pronghorn
Location: Rio Del Lobo Rock, east of Fort Mercer.
The clues are some hides, dung and some hides. The animal is easy to spot thanks to its white fur. He won't attack you, but will try to escape as soon as he smells you. Also, it can get nasty quickly. Therefore, you must use an odor eliminator to address it. Both rifles and bows are good for killing the animal.
Legendary Panther Giaguaro
Location: West of Shady Belle, Lemoyne. To trigger the hunt, you must reach level 9 of the Master Hunter Challenges.
This beast's speed is incredibly fast and it can quickly pick up your scent. The panther will actively attack and chase players instead of waiting to be hunted. The crossbow can also kill players with just one hit. This Legendary Pet is harder to kill than other Legendary Pets in the game. You should wear an odor eliminator and equip yourself with fast and powerful firearms before you start hunting.
