Where can I find the Legendary Elk in Ambarino?
The Legendary Elk is one of the most sought-after animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, and it can be found in the Ambarino region. To begin your hunt, you must first locate the Legendary Animal map marker, which appears as a crown-shaped icon on your map. This marker is located northeast of Bacchus Station, near the border of Ambarino and New Hanover. The exact coordinates are just south of the letter ''A'' in Ambarino on the map.\n\nBefore heading out, ensure you are well-prepared. You will need a high-quality rifle, such as the Rolling Block Rifle or the Carcano Rifle, to take down the Legendary Elk effectively. Additionally, stock up on health tonics, stamina tonics, and predator bait. The Legendary Elk is a large and powerful animal, so being prepared for a fight is crucial. Wear warm clothing, as the Ambarino region is cold, and your stamina will drain faster if you are not properly dressed.\n\nOnce you arrive at the location, use Eagle Eye to track the Legendary Elk. Look for golden clues, such as droppings, fur, or broken branches, which will guide you to the animal. Follow these clues carefully, as the Legendary Elk is elusive and will flee if it senses you. Move slowly and crouch to avoid making noise. If you lose track of the clues, use your binoculars to scan the area for movement.\n\nWhen you finally spot the Legendary Elk, aim for a clean shot. A headshot with a high-powered rifle is the most effective way to take it down. Be aware that the elk will charge if it feels threatened, so maintain your distance and use Dead Eye to ensure accuracy. After successfully hunting the elk, skin it to collect the Legendary Elk Pelt and Legendary Elk Antler. These items can be sold to the Trapper or used to craft unique gear.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the elk fleeing before they can get a clear shot. To avoid this, use cover scent lotion to mask your scent and approach from downwind. Additionally, placing predator bait in the area can lure the elk closer, giving you a better chance to take it down. If the elk does escape, leave the area and camp for a few in-game days before returning to reset the spawn.\n\nFinally, remember that Legendary Animals can only be hunted once per playthrough. If you fail to kill the elk or lose the pelt, it will not respawn. Always save your game before attempting the hunt to avoid losing progress. With patience, preparation, and the right strategy, you can successfully hunt the Legendary Elk and claim its valuable rewards.
