Treasure locations
Search the indicated location to find the corresponding hidden treasure.
Collect all nine treasures to complete the Treasure Hunter challenge. Note:
You should get your first treasure map from a random encounter, in which you
save a Stranger from a group of bandits attacking his wagon. The subsequent
maps for the Treasure Hunter challenge are located inside each successive
treasure chest.
Hidden Treasure 1: Rhodes Gold
Rhodes Gold is located at
Hanging Rock, north of Armadillo in Cholla Springs. The chest can be found at
the base of the largest boulder, under a pile of rocks in a narrow area, which
can be reached by exploring the north side of Hanging Rock and following the
narrow path such exploration reveals.
Hidden Treasure 2: Jacksons Gold
Jacksons Gold is located
just east of Rio Bravo near the Rio Del Lobo, at a location called "Del
Lobo Rock". Find the gap in the rocks at the top of the cliff indicated on
the treasure map, and save your game (in case you fall down to the riverbed).
Move through the gap, and go to the right. Then, switch back to the left, and
hug the cliff face until you can drop down into the shadow of the bulbous
outcropping. Look at the map for a depiction of this route. The treasure can be
found on a small ledge.
Hidden Treasure 3: Calhouns Gold
Calhouns Gold is located
in the basement of the old mansion in Tumbleweed. Enter it using the back
cellar entrance on the west side, and walk straight until you reach the
basement wall. The treasure can be found below a mounted bull skull on the
wall.
Hidden Treasure 4: Tubmans Gold
Travel towards the San Luis
River, starting from the Tree Of Skulls. The area is just north of Chuparosa.
Proceed until you reach the second stone wall. Tubmans Gold treasure is on the
river side of it.
Hidden Treasure 5: Browns Gold
Browns Gold is located on
top of the rock spires in Crooked Toes, in Punta Orgullo just east of Escalera.
Proceed past the small cave with the chest, and climb to the top of the spire,
using a jump, hang, climb maneuver.
Hidden Treasure 6: Douglass Gold
Douglass Gold is located
at the Ojo Del Diablo, South of Chuparosa. The treasure is on the west side of
the arch.
Hidden Treasure 7: Garrisons Gold
Garrisons Gold is located
northeast of Agave Viejo, northeast of Roca de Madera. The stool-shaped rock in
the first two treasure map illustrations is just off the main road leading
northwest from Casa Madrugada, just above the armadillo on the main map. From
the stool-shaped rock, look southwest, and you should see a path that begins
just above some rock spires. Follow it to its end to find the treasure.
Hidden Treasure 8: Picketts Gold
Picketts Gold is located
east of the ranch at Beechers Hope, near a large tree split by a lightning
strike. The treasure is buried in a gap in the stone fence north of the tree.
Hidden Treasure 9: Stonewalls Gold
North of Manzanita Post is
a small, snow-covered horse path. Follow it until you reach a plateau, then
explore the north side of the plateau until you find a cave. Stonewalls Gold
treasure is inside the cave.

Crucifix
Give the nuns money whenever possible. Reaching maximum honor and fame
may help. A nun will eventually approach you and tell you she and the other
sisters have been gathering items to help your righteous cause. She will give
you a cross that makes enemies less likely to hit you with bullets. Note:
You must remain honorable for this to remain in effect.
Easy experience
Play in online Free Roam mode. Find a gang hideout, and kill all the
enemies, as well as the reinforcements that appear. Loot the bodies to get
money and ammunition, then leave the hideout. After a short amount of time, the
enemies will respawn, allowing you to repeat the process as many times as
desired.
Find one of the bird shooting challenges. They are usually easy to find;
simply listen for shots and watch for a lot of birds circling in the sky.
Accept the challenge, and intentionally lose. The wager will then double.
Repeat this until you have just enough money to make one more bet. Then, watch
the sky and wait until you can see the amount of birds you need to win the bet.
Accept the challenge, then go into Dead Eye mode, and kill the proper amount to
win. Note: It may help to have moonshine or chewing tobacco in case you
run out of Dead Eye. After you win the bet, put on your bandanna, and kill the
man you bet against. Loot his body, and he will have the same amount of money
as the final wager. The more money you have to work with, the more you can
make. It is possible to loot over $20,000 from him.
Play the "Five Finger Filet" knife mini-game in Armadillo. Bet
the $100 maximum each game. The buttons you press are always in the same order;
A, B, Y, X, A, B, Y. This will allow you to get $100 every 20 seconds early in
the game. Repeat this process as many times as desired.
Easy money and honor
Accept a bounty mission. Go set up camp somewhere, and save your game.
Capture or kill the bounty target, and return to the sheriff to get your money
and +100 honor. Then, go run into some water and die. When you respawn in one
of your houses, the bounty mission will still be active, and you will also keep
the money and honor you just received for completing the mission. Repeat this
as many times as desired.
Easy fame and honor
Go to Thieves' Landing, and buy the Elegant Suit. Then, go in the saloon
(or any other place with cheap poker), and play poker ($25). Get caught
cheating by pulling the arrow to one side. You will then have to duel with
someone. Wait for the "draw" sign to flash, then aim at their right
hand/arm to shoot the gun out of their hand for extra fame and honor. Note:
When you do this, the bullet may ricochet and hit someone else. If this
happens, they will start shooting at you. To make this easier, buy the house in
town to save the game and stop others from coming after you. Repeat this as
many times as desired.
Easy reloading
When you are low on ammunition, enter Dead Eye mode. Your ammunition
will be refilled without needing to reload.
Easy herding
When you are herding, stand far back and just ride very slowly. The herd
should follow the person in front of the herd.
Easy quick save
Change the "Audio" settings in the "Options" menu to
force the game to save. Alternately, obtain two different horse deeds. When you
want to quick save your game, simply switch horses by using the other deed, and
your progress will be automatically saved.
Dark horse
Once you become dishonorable enough, your horse and clothes will turn
black. However, they will only stay black while you are dishonorable. -From:
Calvin Anderson
Determining horse breeds
If you go to the general store, you can purchase horses by buying a deed
for them. Instead of buying the deed, check the info, and it will give you a
description of the horse's appearance. You can compare this information with
horses you break to help determine the horse breed.
Another good way to determine a horse's breed and quality is to break
and ride them just a few seconds. You should be able to instantly tell the
difference between a 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star horse. The stamina will deplete
much quicker the lower the quality, and the horse itself will not run as fast.
Physically you can also tell a difference. If you can see any ribs or bones,
the horse is low quality, while thicker more muscular horses are the 3-star
ones. You can get the 3-star Pearl from the "Bonnie" mission very
early in the game. The Hungarian Half-bred is found in Mexico and is an off-white
color. The Standardbred Pinto is all black and can be found in Mexico. Other
horse breeds that can be found throughout the game are American Standardbred,

Map locations
There are a total of 94 locations in the game. 45 are in New Austin, 32
are in Mexico, and 17 are in West Elizabeth. The quickest and easiest way to
find these locations are through the maps you can purchase at various general
stores. These will unlock all areas in a specific part of the game.
Reaching West Elizabeth early
Locate a cliff near the waterfall north of MacFarlane's ranch; it will
say "Tall Trees" once you get to the edge. Get arrested at this spot,
and you will be transported to Blackwater. To get back to New Austin, quick
save the game, and then kill yourself. Note: If you buy the Manzanita
Post property, you will have to use your horse to jump the unfinished bridge
north of Thieves' Landing to return.
Ghost town
Kill every person and animal in a town to have it marked as a
"ghost town". Check the population sign at the town's border to view
your progress. The town will remain empty for the remainder of the game. Note:
It is recommended you wear the Bureau Uniform while doing this.
West Dickens urinates
Start a mission with West Dickens that requires driving or shotgunning
his carriage. When you are a few hundred yards away from the mission's starting
point, press Y to jump free. Remain idle, and do not get back on the carriage.
Eventually West Dickens will jump off the carriage and start urinating.
There Will Be Blood reference
The town of Plainview is a reference to the main character Daniel
Plainview, played by Daniel Day Lewis, in the movie There Will Be Blood.
Take note of all the oil rigs.

Easy "Dastardly" achievement
Wait until a girl tries to steal your horse, or during the random
encounter where there are bandits behind a stage wagon. Kill the bandits, and
hogtie the girl. Find a train on your map, and put her on the tracks in front
of it to get the "Dastardly" achievement.
Easy "Manifest Destiny" achievement
Go to the northeast area of the game (Great Plains) once you reach it
later in the game. There will be only one pack of buffalos at any given time.
Kill all the buffalo in the pack to get the "Manifest Destiny"
achievement.
Easy "Most Wanted" achievement
Note: The
entire process takes place while the player is under the palace with the
following glitch. Travel to Escalera. There is a palace at the top surrounded
by cement walls. Enter through the doors. However, only one set of the doors
work. Enter the palace, and go left. You will see a potted plant in a corner
next to a bookcase. Get behind it by either jumping over it or walking behind
it. Face the bookshelf and crouch. You should fall through the floor; if not, spin
in circles while crouched until it happens. If you end up in some random room
with no doors or windows, you will be stuck and must kill yourself to be freed.
Once under the palace, you can shoot through the walls, but no one can shoot
back. To leave this area, just walk out of any of the walls. Get a bounty of
$1,000, and maintain the public enemy pursuit for ten minutes of real time.
Make sure the Mexican army stays on you for that period of time. Wait for the
pursuit to dissipate. Let the pursuit die out to get the "Most
Wanted" achievement.
