Rockstar Games’ hit sequel Red Dead Redemption 2 has continued to draw in fans since its long-awaited release in 2018, largely due to a strong and growing online community as well as the replayability factor of the main campaign. This perfectly understandable considering that it’s filled to the brim with missions, encounters, hunting, collectibles, and of course, treasure maps.
While earlier games in the Red Dead series featured a connected series of treasure maps that led into the next challenge with each new find, Red Dead Redemption 2 individualized each treasure map mission with a number of connected clues that we’ll take a close look at today as we look at every treasure map in RDR2 and where to find them on your next trip to the Wild Wild West.
7 Jack Hall Gang Treasure Map
The various treasure maps of Red Dead Redemption 2 can all be found in different ways that vary in difficulty, though one of the easiest comes from a random encounter near Flatneck Station after the completion of Chapter 2. Standing on a ridge and looking out over the beautiful valley is a man named Maximo who will offer to sell you the Jack Hall Gang Treasure Map. Though you can also kill and rob him to acquire the map or pick it up from a fence later on in the game.
The first map will take you to a rock formation in Caliban’s Seat, which will require players to maneuver down a path that requires some rock jumping to reach the hiding spot. In turn, this will reveal the second part of the map that will lead you to Cotorroa Springs in Ambarino. The second map is hidden in a rock formation located in the springs, which will direct players to a rocky island in the middle of the lake at O’Creagh’s Run — which hides the final reward.
6 High Stakes Treasure Map
The High Stakes Treasure Map can be found after Chapter 3 during a random encounter with a treasure hunter somewhere between Cumberland Falls and Wallace Station, though the muttering Stranger’s location can change over time. The first map will lead you to a path behind Cumberland Falls to find a second map that points towards Barrow Lagoon north of Valentine, where another map can be found in the hollow of a tree.
The final hunt can be challenging as the map doesn’t offer many details besides the Baccus Station starting point, north of Fort Wallace (near the “S” of Station), which players can use to find the beginning of the path at the top of the hill. Once on the path, you will have to navigate a series of jumps between rock ledges and sprinted scrambles up slippery rock faces that will eventually take you to the hidden nook and the golden reward.
5 The Poisonous Trail Treasure Map
One of the trickiest treasures to locate can be discovered using the Poisonous Trail Treasure Map, which can only be found in a cabin at Cairn Lake. It can be found near the beginning of the game, though players will also visit the cabin during the Flaco Hernandez Gunslinger mission. The first map will point players towards a burnt tree stump near Face Rock in Lemoyne, which can be found to the right of the “R” and “L” of Scarlett Meadows. You will then be directed to a winding path west of the Van Horn Trading Post that can be accessed from the main branching road south of Van Horn.
Players will have to spot a grassy hill with a coiled rocky mound on the top with the third map, which will direct you to a hidden cave behind a waterfall in Elysian Pool near the “E” of Hanover. You will have to navigate the potentially confusing tunnel system to find a nearly-hidden entrance in the cave wall that will take players on an underground journey to the final treasure. It will take a keen eye to notice hidden ledges, and risky jumps that could end in death, so save often before you find the final treasure and escape from the hidden cave system.
4 Torn Treasure Maps
While most treasure maps lead players to a cache of golden bars, the pair of Treasure Maps that can be put together after encountering two Hermits will take players to a different type of reward, the legendary revolver of gunfighter Otis Miller. The first Hermit lives in a cabin in Manito Glade near Annesburg, and players can find not only the first half of the Torn Treasure Map but also the powerful Rare Shotgun after killing the hermit and looting his home.
The second Hermit is near the end of the Little Creek River northwest of Wallace Station in West Elizabeth. The hermit and her dogs may prove to be a challenge, but the map will be found in a drawer in her house after taking them out. Once put together, the Torn Treasure Maps will lead players to a cave in Cholla Springs near the Rattlesnake Hollow state line, rewarding players with the specialty revolver and a few racy pictures.
3 Le Tresor Des Morts Treasure Map
Fans who pre-ordered the Ultimate and Special editions of Red Dead Redemption 2 received the additional Le Tresor des Morts Treasure Map, which can be found after the “Eastward Bound” mission prior to Chapter 2. The first map can be found in the small burned-out town of Limpany near the Horseshoe Overlook camp (which also houses a gold bar in the sheriff’s office) in one of the two remaining buildings. It will direct players to the docks of Saint Denis.
There you will have to locate the specific dock and stairs to find your way along the water to metal doors that house the second part of the map, at a beam marked with an X. The revealed clue features a riddle that should take players on a short horse ride to the graveyard in Saint Denis, where a small building with stained glass windows can be found with a huge golden reward waiting inside.
2 The Elemental Trail Treasure Map
When Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PC, fans were given the PC-exclusive Elemental Trail Treasure Map, which can only be found during the epilogue as it requires access to New Austin and other areas blocked during the main story of the game. The first map can be taken from a corpse that has to be shot down from a hanging rope near the Sea of Coronado, directly west of the “N” in New Austin.
The map will then guide players towards a broken chimney located south of Armadillo, near the San Luis River to the east of Lake Don Julio. The chimney’s map will then direct you towards an elevated pathway and watchtower located at Benedict Point, south of Armadillo. Players will have to climb up and walk along the conveyor belt to find the next map, which will then lead to a grave in Coot’s Chapel just south-east of Armadillo. The treasure will be found in the grave under a wooden cross, but remember, it’s only available for PC players.
1 The Landmarks of Riches Treasure Map
Another exclusive made available to PC fans was the Landmarks of Riches Treasure Map. It can be completed after Chapter 2 and the discovery of the first map at the Obelisk past Owanjila lake, west of Strawberry near the state line.
The first map will then lead players across the entire map of RDR2 to unique locations and landmarks. These include the tiny church in Lemoyne, the mysterious Hill House near Fort Wallace, the empty battlefield of Bolger’s Blade to the west of Braithwaite Manor, and on to the final clue which will take players to the Sundial on Mount Shann. A huge reward of six gold bars awaits — one of the biggest treasures PC players can find in Red Dead Redemption 2.
