Where can I find the Legendary Coyote in RDR2?

The Legendary Coyote is one of the most sought-after animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, offering unique crafting materials for the Trapper. To find it, you must first unlock the Legendary Animal hunting mechanic by completing Chapter 2 and the mission ''Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego,'' where Hosea introduces you to hunting legendary creatures. Once unlocked, the Legendary Coyote becomes available in the Scarlett Meadows region of Lemoyne, specifically southwest of Rhodes.\n\nTo locate the Legendary Coyote, head to the area marked on your map with a coyote icon. This icon appears after you’ve unlocked the ability to hunt legendary animals. The exact location is near the intersection of the Kamassa River and the road leading to Braithwaite Manor. When you arrive, use Eagle Eye to spot golden particles in the air, which indicate the presence of the Legendary Coyote. These particles will guide you to the animal’s tracks.\n\nOnce you’ve found the tracks, follow them carefully. The Legendary Coyote is a cunning and elusive creature, so it may take some time to locate. Be prepared for the animal to flee if it detects you. To avoid spooking it, approach slowly and quietly, using cover like trees or bushes. Equip a rifle with a scope, such as the Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle, to ensure a clean kill. Aim for the head or heart to maximize damage and preserve the pelt’s quality.\n\nAfter successfully hunting the Legendary Coyote, skin it to obtain the Legendary Coyote Pelt and Legendary Coyote Heart. These items are essential for crafting unique gear at the Trapper, such as the Coyote Scout Jacket and Coyote Gambler’s Hat. Additionally, the Legendary Coyote Heart can be used to craft a trinket at the Fence, which increases your Dead Eye experience gain.\n\nCommon challenges include losing track of the coyote or accidentally damaging the pelt. To avoid these issues, save your game before starting the hunt. If you fail or damage the pelt, reload your save to try again. Additionally, ensure your horse is nearby to carry the pelt, as it’s too large to carry on foot. If you’re struggling to find the coyote, try visiting the area during the early morning or late evening, as these are the most active times for the animal.\n\nIn summary, the Legendary Coyote is found southwest of Rhodes in Scarlett Meadows. Use Eagle Eye to locate its tracks, approach cautiously, and use a high-powered rifle for a clean kill. The rewards, including unique crafting materials, make this hunt well worth the effort. Happy hunting!
