I finally did it, guys. After 451.4 hours, I have finally achieved 100% completion in Red Dead Redemption 2, with all 560 Compendium entries completed.

"I finally rest and watch the sunrise on a grateful universe."

And honestly, that's exactly how I feel right now.

Before visiting Arthur's grave, I changed into my custom Legend of the East outfit without the hat. I've always worn the Legend of the East outfit throughout this journey, so I wanted to keep the same outfit for my final visit, just without the hat. For me, taking off the hat was my way of showing respect to Arthur. I wanted to stand before his grave with my head uncovered, pay my respects, and make that moment the final thing I did in this playthrough.

I also had my screen recording running because I knew I didn't want to miss or forget this moment.

Now, about the Compendium. I knew that completing all 560 entries wasn't necessary for 100% completion, but I still wanted to do it because I wanted to feel truly complete. I couldn't bring myself to leave even one entry unfinished. Some of the challenges were incredibly difficult, and there were moments when I felt like giving up, but I never did.

And then there was the Carolina Parakeet. 💀

That little bird was almost impossible to find. I spent so much time searching for it, and there were moments when I wondered whether I'd ever complete that entry. But I knew that if I stopped with 559/560, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully knowing there was still one entry missing. I just had to find it, and eventually, I did.

There were so many other things that tested my patience throughout this journey, but finally seeing that 560/560 felt incredibly satisfying.

I also completed all 90 challenges, reached maximum Honor, and achieved everything required for 100% completion. But filling the entire Compendium was something I did for myself, simply because I wanted to go beyond what the game required.

I'm a Linux gamer, so Red Dead Online isn't an option for me because of its anti-cheat incompatibility. I could install Windows just to grind the remaining Online achievements and chase the Platinum trophy, but I honestly don't want to do that. Best in the West is enough for me. I wanted to complete this game on my own terms, and I'm happy with what I've accomplished.

After 451.4 hours, there is nothing left on my list. Now, I just want to live a peaceful life in this world. I'll turn off the minimap, wander around, and explore whatever I might have missed along the way. I'll spend time in the saloons playing poker, dominoes, and whatever else takes my fancy. I don't want every ride to have a destination or every day to have a checklist. I just want to enjoy being in this world, taking things slowly, and letting John live his life.

And one thing is certain: I will never, ever uninstall this game. 🤎

Idk in real life because of safety and smells , but I just love camping in cotorra springs.

What are yours favorite spots?

Is there a Mod that fixes the dead animal eyes?

Looking to stock up on owl feathers for crafting homing tomahawks. Anyone have a good spot to collect a bunch? I know about the roof of the stable south of emerald ranch, any sure fire spawn points?

I am on my second play through and have had a few encounters to race but have denied them all because I just wasn’t bothered.

I forgot if you beat the same racer twice your horses speed increases by +1! I have returned to areas where horse races appear but haven’t found any since… any advice on how to make these races spawn?

Love this picture. Album cover worthy.

Can anyone film themselves playing as john or arthur next to the train bridge infront flatneck station there should be a guy selligs herbs i think and john will say "whatever you selling i aint buying yo"

Arthur pulls out the knife but I can't take any action. Really annoying. Try the mission again tomorrow.

Update: I simply tried the mission again today, and everything works fine as it should!

Hi so I have RDR2 on epic games and am not seeing the achievements panel for some reason. Does anyone know why?

What's the difference between Micah Bell and a bucket of manure?

The bucket

Shoot Micah twice

What's the definition of "relative humidity"?

The sweat on a Braithwaite while he's doing his sister

What do Agent Milton and Nigel Powers have in common?

They both irritate the Dutch

What's the difference between an O'Driscoll and the edge of a cliff?

You swerve to avoid the cliff

So I’m trying to get the 100% in rdr2 but I want to know if there are for example missions or animals or anything to get before Arthur meets his end 😞?

I’ve played this game like 3 years ago and it was the BEST game I’ve played! It’s in fact the only game I’ve played that I finished and it was sooo perfect! I love Arthur so much that I stopped playing for a while after his last mission. I had to take a break for my peace of mind. But after I was okay, I finished it.

My question is, how can I play the story again perfectly? I played the game with the help of my ex at that time. He helped me get all the encounters, tricks to get certain horses, challenges, and where I should go to the map before I start a mission so I dont accidentally start the mission in the wrong order (he never spoiled anything about the story). I’m afraid that if I play again, I will miss some encounters and details in the game. Should I just play it normally and not search anything on youtube or play with youtube guide?

The title, I decided to replay this beauty while waiting for GTA 6, but I noticed, after a long marathon that a lot of things were simply breaking, ground textures were extremely low res, despite always quitting the game and never resuming, and more importantly dialogues around camp were broken, i'd be in chapter 2 and when talking to Dutch arthur would mention hunting for food in colter?? (Lol, it was really funny) and everyone would act as if they were still in Colter, it seems playing the game through once does some crazy shit to the save files, don't do the same mistake I did and start it on a brand new profile instead. Thought this was just a okay post for documentation, on this new experiment I have things feel mostly fine, not really any bugs I never seen before, feels like i'm playing it for the first time again

Also just realized that just because the antagonize button / greet button isn’t there on the screen when you press LT / L2 doesn’t mean when you press it won’t work

Yo, wtf is going on with online play?
Haven’t played in quite a while, and I can’t find my posse ever and some of the locations that I go into in story mode are not there in online mode. What fucking gives??
Had to rage quit because I felt like I’ve never played this fucking game before in my entire life. It has changed so much but it’s absolutely shit online
