Where can I find all dreamcatchers to unlock the "A Better World, a New Friend" achievement?
To unlock the ''A Better World, a New Friend'' achievement in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must find and collect all 20 dreamcatchers scattered across the game world. These dreamcatchers are tied to the ''Geology for Beginners'' stranger mission, which becomes available in Chapter 2. Once you collect all 20, you will receive a special item and unlock the achievement.\n\nFirst, you need to start the ''Geology for Beginners'' mission. Head to the town of Valentine and look for Francis Sinclair, a man with a unique appearance near the train station. He will give you a map and ask you to find 10 rock carvings. While this mission is separate from the dreamcatchers, it introduces you to the concept of collecting hidden items. After completing this mission, you can begin searching for dreamcatchers.\n\nThe dreamcatchers are located in specific areas across the map, often in hard-to-reach or hidden spots. They are small, circular objects made of twine and feathers, hanging from trees or rocks. To find them, you will need to explore thoroughly, paying attention to your surroundings. Use your Eagle Eye ability (R3/RS) to highlight interactive objects, including dreamcatchers, which will glow gold when nearby.\n\nHere are some key locations to help you get started: 1) Near the Dakota River, close to the Limpany ruins. 2) In the Grizzlies East region, near the O''Creagh''s Run lake. 3) In the Heartlands, close to the Twin Stack Pass. 4) Near the Elysian Pool waterfall in Roanoke Ridge. These are just a few examples, but you will need to explore every region of the map to find all 20.\n\nOne common challenge is reaching dreamcatchers in high or remote locations. For example, some are perched on cliffs or tall trees. To overcome this, use your horse to climb steep terrain or find alternate paths. If a dreamcatcher is too high, look for nearby rocks or ledges to climb. Patience and persistence are key, as some locations require multiple attempts to reach.\n\nAnother tip is to use online maps or guides to pinpoint exact locations. While exploring blindly can be fun, using a guide ensures you don''t miss any dreamcatchers. Additionally, mark locations on your in-game map as you find them to track your progress. This prevents backtracking and saves time.\n\nOnce you collect all 20 dreamcatchers, return to Francis Sinclair''s cabin in the southern part of the map, near the ''R'' in ''Scarlett Meadows'' on the map. He will reward you with a special item and the achievement will unlock. This process can take several hours, so plan accordingly.\n\nIn summary, finding all dreamcatchers requires exploration, patience, and attention to detail. Use your Eagle Eye ability, consult guides if needed, and mark your progress on the map. With persistence, you will unlock the ''A Better World, a New Friend'' achievement and enjoy the satisfaction of completing this challenging task.
