How do I find the Legendary Pronghorn in RDR2?

The Legendary Pronghorn is one of the most elusive and rewarding hunts in Red Dead Redemption 2. To find and hunt this legendary animal, you must first unlock the ability to hunt legendary creatures. This is done by completing the mission ''Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego'' in Chapter 2, where Hosea introduces you to hunting legendary animals. Once unlocked, you can begin your search for the Legendary Pronghorn.\n\nThe Legendary Pronghorn is located in the Rio Bravo region of New Austin, specifically in the area just south of Fort Mercer. To pinpoint its exact location, open your map and look for the Legendary Animal icon, which resembles a paw print with a crown. This icon will appear once you are near the hunting grounds. The area is marked by rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, so be prepared for a challenging hunt.\n\nBefore heading out, ensure you are well-equipped. You will need a powerful rifle or bow with improved arrows to take down the Legendary Pronghorn efficiently. The Rolling Block Rifle or Carcano Rifle are excellent choices. Additionally, stock up on health tonics, stamina tonics, and predator bait. The Legendary Pronghorn is fast and agile, so you may need to chase it down or lure it into a trap.\n\nOnce you arrive at the hunting grounds, use your Eagle Eye ability to track the animal. Look for golden clues such as droppings, fur, or broken branches. These clues will lead you closer to the Legendary Pronghorn. Be patient and follow the trail carefully, as the animal may flee if it senses your presence. If you lose the trail, use predator bait to attract it back to the area.\n\nWhen you finally spot the Legendary Pronghorn, approach cautiously. Aim for a clean shot to the head or heart to ensure a quick kill. If the animal starts to flee, use Dead Eye to slow time and line up your shot. Once the Pronghorn is down, skin it immediately to collect its pelt and other valuable materials. These can be sold to a Trapper or used to craft unique items.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the presence of predators or hostile NPCs in the area. To avoid distractions, clear the area of threats before focusing on the hunt. Additionally, the Legendary Pronghorn may spawn in hard-to-reach locations. If this happens, try approaching from a different angle or using a horse with high stamina to navigate the terrain.\n\nFinally, remember that legendary animals can only be hunted once per playthrough. If you fail to kill or skin the Legendary Pronghorn, it will not respawn. Therefore, take your time and ensure you are fully prepared before engaging in the hunt. With patience, skill, and the right equipment, you can successfully track and hunt the Legendary Pronghorn in Red Dead Redemption 2.
