Red Dead Redemptiontakes John Marston through an unforgettable journey, and if players want to become a Legend of the West, then they are going to need to complete everyRed Dead Redemptionachievement and trophy. This can be quite the challenge that awaits players who want 100% completion inRed Dead Redemption, and for more reasons than one.

Listed below is a collection of the most difficult achievements to earn inRed Dead Redemptionand how to complete them, providing players with what they need so that they can venture into thedying years of the Wild Westto obtain some truly toughRed Dead Redemptiontrophies.

No Dice achievement

8No Dice

Keep Every Dice and Win the Game

Liar’s Dice is one of the most fun minigames inRed Dead Redemption, but it’s not without its challenges. No Dice is a trophy that can be earned once players complete a game of Liar’s Dice without losing a single die, and that’s harder than one might think. TheAI can be pretty goodat Liar’s Dice, and players will need to know when to bluff, call, and tell the truth to cheat the AI and claim victory. One great tactic for this minigame is to tell the truth, forcing other challengers to bluff, which makes it easier for players to make them lose their dice.

7Unnatural Selection

Kill 26 Different Animals

WhileRed Dead Redemptiondoesn’t have the same number of animals asRed Dead Redemption 2, players are still required to find and kill every single one of them if they want to get the Unnatural Selection achievement. There are 26 animals that areneeded for this achievement, and these consist of:

6Friends in High Places

Remove a Very, Very Expensive Bounty

As players progress throughRed Dead Redemption, they might not see money as an issue, but $5,000 is still pretty steep for 1911, especially when it requires so much blood. Players will need to degrade their honor ranking as much as they kill helpless citizens and commit other atrocities to raise their bounty, forcing themselves to drown in the blood of innocent people. Players will need to kill so many people without killing the last witness, and then they will need to venture somewhere safe where the player can clear their name with a Pardon Letter at the Telegraph Office, but this is a random piece ofloot from chests, Gang Hideouts, or safes. While it might be free of charge to use the Pardon Letter, the cost of morality and time spent on racking up a bounty and losing Honor might force players to reload an old save.

5Mowing Them Down

Use a Mounted Weapon on 500 Enemies

Mowing Them Down requires players to eliminate 500 enemies with a mounted weapon, which consists of a Gatling Gun or a Cannon. However, this can be quite a hard trophy to earn when one understands that repeating missions does not count, and these mounted weapons are not exactly common in missions anyway. Thankfully, El Presidio has cannons that players can use, or the Maxim Gun at the El Matadero safehouse, allowing players to aggravate the law to send them in droves to these locations so players canendlessly kill500 of them, but it might take some time.

4Spurred Victory

Keep Your Horse Alive and Well for 20 Missions Straight

The horse inRed Dead Redemptionworks differently from how it did inRed Dead Redemption 2. Horses inRed Dead Redemption 2are obviouslyclaimed by Arthur Morganthanks to the map marker and the saddle that they use, and their location remains still since these animals do not spawn out of nowhere. ForRed Dead Redemption, the player’s horse only has one marker and can spawn out of the blue with a whistle, so if players want to complete this missable achievement, they will need to keep their eyes focused on their horse by hitching it and unhitching it, and ensuring it doesn’t get shot to death in and out of missions for a run of 20 of them.

3Frontiersman

Complete At Least One Ambient Challenge

There are 4 Ambient Challenges inRed Dead Redemption: Master Hunter, Sharpshooter, Survivalist, and Treasure Hunter. For this achievement, players only need to complete one of them, but that’s still 10 Challenges, including a set of difficult tasks facing each one. While players arefree to choose between them, they’re not all that simple, and players will need to dedicate some time and skill to discovering collectibles or killing enemies in unique ways.

2On the Trail of de Vaca

Discover Every Map Location

For this achievement, players are going to want to verify they have their sturdiest set of boots, ammunition in their revolver, and a trusty horse that they can venture across the Wild West with, as On the Trail of de Vaca requires players to visit every location on the map. Thankfully, there’s a way to make this trophy a tad easier simply by visiting all the General Stores and purchasing the maps involved, but even then, obtaining every location might not happen. Players are still going to have to explore the map for areas unseen, and use the Social Club to locate places on the map that players haven’t visited in the flesh.

1Redeemed

Complete Everything The Game Has to Offer

By far the hardest trophy inRed Dead Redemptionis Redeemed, an achievement that requires players to embark on everything that the game has to offer. That involves obtaining every Rare Weapon, completing all 57 Main Missions, every Outfit, Gang Hideout, Ambient Challenge, and more. There’s so much toRed Dead Redemption, so for players who are dedicating time specifically to this endgame trophy, they are going to need hours of playtime ahead of them, and the determination to complete absolutely everything.
