Overview of Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Guides and Tips
In this article, we provide a concise summary of our comprehensive guides and tips for Red Dead Redemption 2, specifically focusing on Miss Hobbs’ hunting requests. Here’s what you need to know:
- Where and when to initiate Miss Hobbs’ hunting request.
- An understanding of the hunting list and its mechanics.
- How to meet Miss Hobbs and complete her challenges.
Initiating Miss Hobbs’ Hunting Request
As highlighted earlier, the stranger quests in Red Dead Redemption 2 are less straightforward compared to regular quests. To kick off Miss Hobbs’ hunting challenges, **you must seek out her hunting requests directly.**
Your first step is to visit bulletin boards located in various towns, where you can find the hunting lists. However, be aware that these lists do not consistently appear in one spot, requiring you to **explore multiple towns** for a chance to find them.
The towns where you might locate the lists include **Saint Denis, Valentine, Rhodes, Strawberry, Van Horn, and Armadillo.** These lists become available starting from Chapter 2, but the fifth and final one will only surface once you reach the game’s epilogue!
Understanding the Hunting List
After you’ve obtained Miss Hobbs’ hunting list, you’ll find a series of animals that you need to catch for her. Keep in mind that **these animals must be in pristine condition.** This means two crucial things: first, avoid skinning them!
You’ll need to ensure a perfect shot when taking them down, and they should be of exceptional quality. For this task, we suggest using a bow paired with small game arrows or **a small game rifle for slightly larger creatures.**
Be aware that transporting the animals can be a bit tricky. While smaller animals can fit in your satchel, **larger ones must be carried on your horse.** There’s a risk they could fall off or spoil, adding another layer of challenge to your hunting endeavor.
Since you can only send the animals after fulfilling the hunting request, **it’s wise to hunt the larger animals last.** To prevent spoiling, consider crafting an amulet from antelope wood for added protection.
Meeting Miss Hobbs
Completing Miss Hobbs’ hunting request consists of five distinct lists that you must fulfill entirely. Here’s the detailed list of the animals you need to hunt for each request:
- Rabbit + squirrel = $50
- Cardinal + rat + woodpecker = $70
- Chipmunk + opossum + oriole + blackbird = $100
- Scarlet tanager + sparrow + toad + skunk + bullfrog = $120
- American waxwing + bat + blue jay + crow + beaver = $150 + invitation
Once you’ve collected all the required animals, **visit a post office to send them to Miss Hobbs** and claim your rewards. After submitting the fifth list, return to the post office 24 hours later to receive a letter from her.
This letter contains an invitation for you to visit her. Head over and enter through the back door to initiate a cutscene. **As a reward for your efforts, she will present you with a stuffed squirrel.** With this, you will have successfully completed all of Miss Hobbs’ hunting challenges.
