How do I unlock the "It’s Art" trophy by completing all rock carvings?

To unlock the "It’s Art" trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must find and inspect all 10 rock carvings scattered across the game world. These carvings are part of the Stranger mission "Geology for Beginners," which becomes available in Chapter 2. The mission is given by Francis Sinclair, a mysterious character you meet at his cabin near Strawberry. Once you accept the mission, you’ll receive a map with vague hints about the carvings'' locations.\n\nEach rock carving is etched into a large rock face and requires you to inspect it closely. To do this, approach the carving and press the interact button when prompted. After inspecting all 10 carvings, you’ll need to return to Francis Sinclair to complete the mission and unlock the trophy. The carvings are spread across the map, so this task requires thorough exploration and patience.\n\nThe first step is to locate Francis Sinclair’s cabin. It’s situated northwest of Strawberry, near the Dakota River. Look for a small, isolated cabin with a red door. Inside, you’ll meet Francis, who will give you the mission and the map. The map is not detailed, so you’ll need to rely on landmarks and descriptions to find the carvings. Some carvings are easy to spot, while others are hidden in remote or hard-to-reach areas.\n\nHere’s a list of all 10 rock carving locations: 1) Near Window Rock, west of Valentine. 2) On a cliff overlooking the Dakota River, north of Cumberland Forest. 3) Near the Elysian Pool waterfall, east of Annesburg. 4) On a rock face near the Kamassa River, south of Van Horn Trading Post. 5) On a cliff near the Van Horn Lighthouse. 6) On a rock face near the Brandywine Drop waterfall. 7) Near the Roanoke Valley, east of Annesburg. 8) On a cliff near the Wapiti Indian Reservation. 9) Near the Grizzlies East, close to the O’Creagh’s Run lake. 10) On a rock face near Mount Shann, west of Strawberry.\n\nFinding these carvings can be challenging due to their remote locations and the lack of precise markers. Use your in-game map and the descriptions provided by Francis Sinclair to narrow down the search areas. Some carvings are near notable landmarks, such as waterfalls or cliffs, which can help you pinpoint their locations. For example, the carving near the Elysian Pool waterfall is on a rock face just east of the waterfall itself.\n\nOne common challenge is navigating the terrain to reach the carvings. Some are located on steep cliffs or in dense forests, making them difficult to access. Use your horse to traverse long distances, but be prepared to climb or hike on foot for certain carvings. For example, the carving near Mount Shann requires you to climb a steep slope, so ensure your stamina is full before attempting the ascent.\n\nAnother tip is to use binoculars or a scoped rifle to scan rock faces from a distance. This can help you spot carvings without having to explore every inch of the area. Additionally, save your game before attempting to reach a carving, especially in dangerous areas like the Grizzlies or near predators. If you die or fail to reach the carving, you can reload your save and try again without losing progress.\n\nOnce you’ve inspected all 10 carvings, return to Francis Sinclair’s cabin to complete the mission. He will reward you with a unique item and unlock the "It’s Art" trophy. This achievement is a testament to your exploration skills and attention to detail in Red Dead Redemption 2.\n\nPractical tips for completing this task include using online maps or guides for precise locations if you’re stuck. Some players also recommend completing this mission during the day for better visibility. Lastly, take your time and enjoy the journey—this mission is a great way to explore the game’s stunning landscapes and hidden secrets.
