In that case I'll update the Guide momentarily .

 

I think it would be worth updating the guide to highlight that "Of Men and Angels" (Chapter 6) only becomes available if "Brothers and Sisters, One and All" was completed in Chapter 4. It also has to be played prior to Trewlany's mission "The Fine Art of Conversation" or it will become unavailable after that.

I'll tag in the author and have them make the changes, because I don't have any editing permissions in this forum at the moment. @danc

I didn't put that note next to that mission because it's not the only one that disappears quickly or requires other missions to unlock, but I made it more clear in the opening to that trophy that some mission have prerequisites and can disappear if you're not careful

Is it possible that I can boost all of the online trophies using just a second console in a private room?

Unfortunately not, unless something changed recently there are no private rooms. Only two trophies that’d be helpful with; Strength in Numbers and All’s Fair which you should be able to do without much interruption in any lobby.

Thanks for the community guide. Thanks to all the contributors.

just an FYI, but i just got the breaking and entering trophy by only doing 4 homesteads and this included doing chaz porter homestead twice.  i did, in this order.......

 

1. Watson's Cabin - walked in, looted everything including the gun, walked out, ignored the old woman.
2. Lonnie's Shack –  walked in killed 3 men, let one leave, got money from the bag of grain in kitchen

3. Chaz Porter - did this on my own, shot all the men, looted everything, including the chest in the barn roof with $50.00 and the bag of jewellery  ( i then read the guide saying i should only do it with javier!! 🥴🥴)

4. Chaz Porter 2nd time - went back with javier, killed all men, trophy popped when we moved the cart in the barn and collected the money.

Find the graves of each of your fallen companions.

 

There are 9 graves you must visit to unlock this trophy. None of them will show up until you've finished story mode. You have to actually interact with the graves for them to count as having been found. PowerPyx has put together a Guide for this trophy: LINK

Find a permanent home for the squirrel statue.

 

While you can work on the bulk of this trophy during the game's story mode, you cannot earn it until after completing the game's Epilogue (you need access to the entire map).

 

Whenever you're in a train station, keep an eye out on the notice board – you will eventually find a flier looking for hunters (I got it late in Chapter 3 at the Rhodes post office; I don't know if it was available earlier or elsewhere). The flier will request specific perfect animal carcasses, so make sure you have a Varmint rifle and lots of small game arrows. Once you've fulfilled the request, go to any post office and mail the carcasses off, then come back in another day or two to receive a reward and another request.

 

With regards to the smaller carcasses (small mammals, birds etc.) it's worth remembering that once you have them in your satchel, they will not decay, unlike when you hang carcasses on your horse so for anything listed with an asterisk, if you happen to come across the animal while playing, take it out and store it until you are finally able to mail it out. Also, the star ranking on birds doesn't seem to matter - as long as you kill them the way the game tells you to (generally with small animal arrows), you will always get a perfect carcass.

 

There's a great place where you can get nearly all of the birds required for this trophy. From Annesburg (the text), go up and right and you’ll see the river hooking up and right. This bend of the river has several boulders in it, and every required species of bird (except Cedar Waxwing) will land on the rocks here. Your best bet is to be there in the early morning - around 6-7 AM.

 

For the small critters (except beavers), a good place to go is the Ringneck Creek (especially the left side), between the "E" and "M" of Lemoyne. Get there in the evening around 8-9 PM and you should get one or two of each species required to spawn. It's also a short ride to Rhodes from there, which makes mailing off your perfect carcasses quick and easy. Unlike the birds, the star ranking on the small critters does matter so make sure you’re only going for the three-star ones.

 

If you're worried, craft the trinket you get from the Legendary Pronghorn Horn (not accessible until post-game), as it keeps animals on the horse from spoiling. The trinket you get from the Legendary Buck Antler may help as well.

 

ROUND 1:

 

 

• Rabbit
• Squirrel

 

 

ROUND 2:

 

 

• Cardinal
• Rat
• Woodpecker

 

 

ROUND 3:

 

 

• Chipmunk
• Opossum
• Oriole
• Robin

 

 

ROUND 4:

 

 

• Bullfrog
• Skunk
• Songbird
• Sparrow
• Toad

 

 

ROUND 5:

 

 

• Bat
• Beaver
• Blue Jay
• Cedar Waxwing
• Crow

 

Once you've fulfilled all five requests, you will get mail at the post office which will spawn a mission marker near Strawberry. You will finally get the squirrel statue. Take it to Beecher's Hope and put it on the fireplace mantel. Go away for 24 hours and return to Beecher's Hope to start a week-long game of hide and seek with it. Every time you find the squirrel, put it back on the mantel, go away for 24 hours and return to Beecher's Hope.

 

Harry94 has put together a video showing all of the hiding spots - skip to the 6min mark:

pulled the question out of the quoted piece

[PSwifty95]

I really want to platinum this game. It’s the only game I’ve not platinumed other than Returnal which I started a few days ago but I’ve had this on my list since it’s release and for the life of me I just cba going for the skin deep trophy. Does anyone know if they’ve updated the spawn rates or anything along those lines? This is a great game but the most tedious, boring grind I have ever came across and I’ve played a lot of games

Doubtful. Rockstar have all but abandoned this game so whatever state it's currently in is likely to be final. Expect no major updates, patches, online improvements and new content, DLC or anything else for that matter. 

 

It's super tedious for sure, and that's part of what makes it a great platinum to have. Few people are able to stick it out until the end. I loved every second, even the more tedious bits. Just gotta stick with it. Most animals have specific spawn locations, with only a handful that are tricky to come across regardless. There are lots of guides and walkthroughs out there that can help with this trophy should you change your mind.
