Manifest Destiny Trophy in Red Dead Redemption

  • Manifest Destiny

     

    Kill the last buffalo in the Great Plains in Single Player.

    How to unlock Manifest Destiny

    The best place I've always seen buffalo is South East of Blackwater. They always travel in a group and it's almost impossible to kill every buffalo without any of them fleeing in one go. Whenever you kill a buffalo every other buffalo will flee from you. Don't sweat it though because once you have killed a buffalo they never respawn as there only are 20 in the whole game. Once you've killed the last buffalo the trophy will unlock. Try not to have a few buffalo left to kill as it is easier to spot a larger group. Should the stray buffalo run in all directions and escape, leave the area to have them respawn in the general vicinity of where you last found them.

  • I think you can only get this trophy with John because I'm playing it with Jack after finishing the game and there is no buffalo. Is this true or can somebody explain this to me?
  • The buffalo roam around the Great Plains even when playing as Jack. I think they may only be around in the early mornings and mid-afternoon/evenings though. Just an assumption because that seems to be the only times I ever see them. It's either that or they just roam a really large area. You should be able to find the huge herd easily though.
  • so how does this trophy work?
  • Trophy Works By killing the buffalo, every single one of them.
  • My 1,000 )
  • This trophy blows. I can't find the last 5.
  • The buffalo are encounters. Once they leave your area, they disappear. It seems that they disappear for the rest of the day and reset each day around midnight-1. The buffalo carcasses will disappear if you leave them to chase down other buffalos that have left the immediate vicinity of the dead ones.
  • FIRST DO YOUR CHALLENGES ! I messed up big ! I killed all the buffalos before i was doing the challanges and one of the challages said i had to kill 2 buffalos or something like that ...but there were no buffalos. so i had to restart the whole game. ..i was donE 95% complete !
  • @platinum69 What you are saying is plain bullshit (or should I say buffaloshit?). There is no challenge involving buffalos.
  • Plus you can just kill all the buffalo, get your trophy, then load a previous save.
  • @10, good idea.
  • It's possible to kill all 20 at once, and I recommend trying to. With the Buffalo Rifle and a few jugs of Moonshine, it was kind of easy to get them all in one go. Just make sure you're always close enough behind them to where you won't lose them. And be sure to immediately shoot down any buffalo that start to separate from the rest.
  • the first time i was ever in the great plains i saw them and killed 12 with the bolt action rifle, the second time i was there i killed the other 8 with the bolt action rifle too. easy as shit
  • These Buffalo´s are glitchy, I hav 24 skin,meat,horns from a buffalo, I killed 5, did some missions, killed another 8, so that totalled on 13, then tought , hey lets finish it, went searching for the last 7, start shooting them, had 1 let to shoot for the trophy but still saw more buffalo´s running, got 4 more and let 1 or 2 escape..
  • I killed the last Tatanka :/
  • #LB415 lmao infinite sadness (great movie reference)
  • I got the last few with the explosive rifle the elusive annoyances! Haha
