Arthur Morgan’s journey across the plains of the Old American country can be a perilous one inRed Dead Redemption 2. Players have a lot to manage when they take on Arthur’s spurred boots — his hunger, his ammunition, and his horse’s well-being. Players will also have to stay cautious; rival gangs can appear anywhere on the map to make targeted attacks against Arthur.
Talismans and trinkets can be crafted by a fence for the player and can add a heap of extra benefits and bonus effects at the cost of legendary animal parts, or after requiring players to jump through countless hurdles. Here is thecomplete list of all talismans and trinkets in Red DeadRedemption 2, with their effects, and the crafting components or missions that players will need to complete to obtain these powerful pieces of equipment.
Kill and skin the Legendary Bullgator in the Bayou Nwa
Vintage Civil War Handcuffs
Complete any set of Cigarette Cards and mail them to Phineas T. Ramsbottom
Gold Jointed Bracelet
Random loot chance from enemies and chests. Try saving before opening a chest and reloading for the desired loot
The Alligator Tooth Talisman might not be available for most players until the late game, but it is still worth crafting due to the reduction to Dead Eye Core drain. This effect will extend the capabilities of the slow-motion shooting effect, helping out any sharpshooters looking to line up more brutal shots.
Kill and skin the Legendary Bharati Grizzly Bear
Quartz Chunk
Mail the location of any dinosaur bone to Deborah MacGuinness during the ‘A Test Of Faith’ stranger mission
Silver Chain Bracelet
The Bear Claw Talisman could be one of the first special artifacts players get their hands on, but it will remain useful throughout the story ofRed Dead Redemption 2. The drain speed of the players' Health Core will be reduced, meaning they can go longer without eating and can last longer in any kind of fight.
Locations
Legendary Beaver Tooth
Kill and skin the Legendary Beaver in the Elysian Pool, New Hanover
The Beaver Tooth Trinket is much easier to craft but requires a detour away from the early game areas in New Hanover. John and Arthur will be able to go much longer without feeling the effects of gun degradation after crafting this trinket and cango much longerwithout having to use up gun oil to clean their weapons.
Legendary Tatanka Bison Horn
Kill and skin the Legendary Tatanka Bison in Hennigan’s Stead, New Austin
The Legendary Tatanka Bison Horn Trinket only requires a single ingredient but players will need to bring some heavy firepower to bring down the huge Legendary Tatanka Bison. Crafting the trinket will reward players with heavy defense against melee damage. This trinket goes a long way in encouraging players toget up close and personalwith enemies and comes in handy during any bar fights or ambushes.
Legendary Bison Horn
Kill and skin the Legendary White Bison in Grizzlies West near Lake Isabella
Abalone Shell Fragment
In an abandoned house near the Rhodes Butcher, North of the Main Street
Silver Earring
The Bison Horn Talisman gives a bonus that most players will be craving after running around the huge world ofRed Dead Redemption 2. Lowering the drain speed of Stamina Core means that players can sprint and swim longer and take more damage without needing tonics or meals to top up their meters.
Kill and skin the Legendary Boar in the Bluewater Marsh
Cobalt Petrified Wood
In a carriage under a rock face near Lake Isabella in Grizzlies West
Gold Earring
Getting their hands on the Boar Tusk Talisman will make caring for the horses that players will acquire through the game much easier. Lowering the drain speed of their horses' Health and Stamina Cores will allow the horses to run for longer, be fed less, and travel longer distances while under enemy fire to assist any players making long journeys or escaping the law on horseback.
Legendary Buck Antler
Kill and skin the Legendary Buck in Big Valley, West Elizabeth
While it may not be at the top of many player’s list of priorities, for any fans who are likely to spend time hunting across the map the Buck Antler Trinket is a must. Allowing for perfect quality pelts despite multiple shots or while using the wrong weapon, players who want to earn the most money with their hunting or decorate their camp with perfect pelts should make sure to collect this Trinket.
Legendary Cougar Fang
Kill and skin the Legendary Cougar in Gaptooth Ridge
Although it can only be bought during the Epilogue, the Cougar Fang Trinket will help to reach the maximum level of Stamina with John much faster when their stats reset after playing as Arthur for so long. The 10% increase may not seem like much, but as players run, hunt and swim across the map they will manage to max out Stamina rapidly with this Trinket’s help.
Legendary Coyote Fang
Kill and skin the Legendary Coyote in Scarlett Meadows, The Heartlands
The Coyote Fang Trinket is another special effect that will let players level up a stat much faster to have their character quickly get an edge over the enemies they will face. Increasing all Dead Eye experience by 10% means that players will quickly unlock more lethal abilities to use in the slow-motion precision mode that lets outlaws shoot at countless enemies at once.
Legendary Elk Antler
Kill and skin the Legendary Elk in Cumberland Forest, near Bacchus Station
While the Legendary Elk is in the far North of the map, players should ensure that they work on getting the Elk Antler Trinket as soon as possible. Across their adventures in the huge Western American setting players are likely to loot a lot of defeated enemies, and this Trinket will ensure every time the player gets money from corpses or chests the value is increased by 10%. The earlier this is acquired the more the additional money can add up.
