- Visit 1 point of interest – These are found all over the world and simply require you to pay close attention to the beautiful world Rockstar has created.
- Visit 9 graves of fallen comrades – This cannot be completed until you enter the epilogue of the RDR2’s story.
- Complete 1 cigarette card set – There are 12 card sets in total, but only one set is required for 100% completion in RDR2.
- Collect all 30 dinosaur bones – Once you meet the paleontologist, Deborah MacGuinnes, as part of the stranger achievement, you’ll get access to this mission.
- Catch 13 legendary fish – Once you meet Jeremy Gill, he’ll give you a map with the location of thirteen legendary fish. You can mail these fish via visiting a train station post office, receiving payment in return.
- Collect 6 exotic items – The eccentric botanist Algernon Wasp will give you a list of exotic items to find across the world.
