Description
Included are all the save files from the Epilogue with Gold medals for each. By “barebones”, I mean that I’ve done nearly nothing besides complete the story missions. Virtually everything else still remains to do. Included is a text file that indexes which missions correspond to which save file.
***I did something in this chapter that has big consequences for the Epilogue, so please read through to the end to find out what that is. It comes with a slight spoiler warning.***
This is from the RDR2 PC Ultimate Edition. Included are save files for every mission in the Epilogue. As with all entries in my “Barebones” series of saves, other stranger missions, random interactions, etc., have all been circumvented so that you can enjoy them yourselves. Virtually everything else still remains for you to do.
I Want To Emphasize That These Files Have Not Been Corrupted By Mods Like Lenny’s Trainer. Not That I Have Anything Against Such Mods, But They Tend To Corrupt Saves Making The Game Freeze Up Between Later Chapters. If Anybody Ends Up With A Corrupted Save File And You Can’t Find Another Explanation, Please Let Me Know!
I’ve included a text file that indexes which missions correspond to which save file.
To Be More Specific About What I Have NOT Done:
✔ I’ve avoided random interactions like the plague (although the game says I’ve encountered few ✔ grumble grumble).
✔ I’ve done no pelt hunting, which means I haven’t upgraded your satchel at all.
✔ I haven’t even met the Trapper, let alone turned anything in to him. I’ve also purchased no clothing otherwise.
✔ The Compendium is far from filled out. I didn’t even pick any plants besides a few of the basics.
✔ I’ve done no work on any of the Challenges, although a little progress is unavoidable, like knifing a few enemies and winning a few hands of poker during the Reverend’s mission.
✔ I haven’t picked up a single gold bar or any such thing, besides the gold ingot that I given to Arthur. Instead, I built up my coffers early on by hijackings passenger trains and taking them to the Ambarino tunnel several times (that thing is easy money and earns you no bounty, look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
The Following Is What I Have Done:
✔ In Chapter 6, I completed “Don’t Seek Absolution”. It’s should still be available early in the chapter if’n you want to do it yourself.
✔ In Chapter 6, I completed “The Course of True Love”. It’s should still be available early in the chapter if’n you want to do it yourself.
✔ In Chapter 6, I completed the event areas of Castor Ridge, the Appleseed Timber Company, and the Central Union Railroad Camp. It’s should still be available early in the chapter, not to mention all the earlier chapters, if’n you want to do it yourself.
✔ In an earlier chapter, I tamed the Warped Brindle Arabian (which is a second class Arabian anyway) found in the mountains near Wapiti.
And This Is A Big One (slight Spoiler Warning):
*** I played through the Aberdeen Pig Farm stranger interaction in Chapter 6 and did NOT retrieve my money. This is the only way to pass on Arthur’s money to John in the Epilogue, so it’s still there to be picked up. It’s a lot of money, so John won’t be short on change at all. ***
I loathe to do all these extra things since this is supposed to be a “barebones” playthrough, but I also didn’t want to pass up on missable content, especially content that has consequences for the Epilogue.
