For some reason nothing is centered anymore, and I apologize for that. The center alignment doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's too much text.

---Twin Rocks--- *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
Twin Rocks, becomes available after completing Bonnie's mission, "New Friends, Old Problems". Twin Rocks is located north of Armadillo, past Cholla Springs. As you approach you will see a yellow "x" on your screen and you will be prompted to meet the rancher behind the rock where the "x" is located. He informs you that a gang has taken his daughter captive in the small hideout. First take out the snipers on each of the two rocks, then move forward into the camp. Take out all the enemies and enter the house where the daughter is located. The head gangmember will use the girl as his shield. Use your Dead Eye mode with the to take him out with one shot to the head and save the daughter to finish this easy hideout. You will receive the Volcanic Pistol and find several chests to loot for your reward.


---Pikes Basin--- *thanks to Codenman* *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
Pike's Basin becomes available after you complete Marshall Johnson's mission, "Justice in Pike's Basin". You can get into the canyons leading into Pikes Basin if you head north of Armadillo to the Hanging Rock, then follow the road to the right of the rock into the opening of the canyon. Once inside the canyon, you will be prompted to meet up with the rancher behind some rocks with a yellow "x" indicated. He tells you that the gang stole his herd of cattle. Fight your way through the canyon until you come to the camp. Just before you get to the camp if you have already activated the Funny Man stranger mission you will find him tied up on an upper road on the right side if you take the path to the right from the beginning. Free him and listen to him then continue on. Take out all the gang members in the hideout and the rancher will ask you to escort him part of the way out of the canyon. Whistle for your trusty horse and lead the way. He will tend to the herd and you take out any members until the cinematic displays that you are victorious. You will receive the Sawed off Shotgun for completing this hideout.


---Gaptooth Breach--- *thanks to Codenman* *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
Gaptooth Breach, will be available after you finish Irish's mission, "Man is Born Unto Trouble". Gapttoth Breach is a small mining tent hideout that is located on the left side of your map just to the left of where it reads Gaptooth Breach. Approach the hideout from the road to the south and you will get the prompt to meet the injured man behind the crates at the yellow "x". He informs you that his partner was taken captive and that hes badly wounded and must leave to a doctor. The partner is located in a building on the left side but before you save him move to the right side and move counter clockwise through the camp taking out all the gang members. Once they are ll dead take out the remaining couple at the hideout and cut the friend free. He then tells you he knows of a treasure in the mine and he will split it with you if you lead the way. Escort him through the mine and stick to the left passage. Down this passage if you have activated the Funny Man stranger quest you will find him hogtied behind some boxes. Free him and listen to his cinematic then continue on. When you get to the bottom, he finds out it was only one little treasure chest and then tells you that you can have it and he stays behind for some unthinkable reason. Fight your way back out of the mine and the hidout will be complete. You will receive the Springfield Rifle and Treasure Hunter Outfit Scrap 5 for finishing this hideout.


---Fort Mercer--- *thanks to Codenman* *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
The Fort Mercer gang hideout side quest will available after Irish's "We Shall be Together in Paradise" mission. After you regain access to the U.S. from Mexico head on over there and you will get a prompt to meet the gunslinger by the wall that is marked with a yellow "x". He will have you climb some boxes to infiltrate the fort. Once you have done that, kill the guys at the top then move your way to the bottom and open the doors for him and he will come in and help you. Next move around the forst killing all the gang members and then kill the gang leader when he decides to come out. Once the Fort is clear, the gunslinger will ask you to follow him to the treasure room ending the area. You will receive the Semi-Automatic Pistol for clearing the fort.


---Tumbleweed--- *thanks to Codenman* *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
Tumbleweed is the first available Gang Hideout and is available once you compete "New Friends, Old Problems" story mission. Tumbleweed is located at Gaptooth Ridge. Head into the town first and free the sherrif who has been tied up in a small building to the left of the guy being hanged in the middle of town. Once he is free he will help you dispatch the rest of the goons in the town as you move around the town killing them. Once they are all dead head over to the mansion with the sherrif. Kill the guards on the porch then head arund the left side of the mansion and head down into the basement. Kill the two rogues in the basement then move upstairs and take out the remaining enemies. Once the mansion is clear you will be rewarded with some money and the Winchester Repeater rifle.


---Nosalida--- *Thanks to DaveyHasselhoff*
Nosalida becomes available after you complete Irish's mission, "We Shall be Together in Paradise". This fort is on the left side of the Mexcan map where it says Nosalida. As you approach the prompt will tell you to meet the General of the Army behind the rock at the yellow "x". He will tell you to take some Fire Bombs to burn down their houses. Now the hard part is making sure you don"t hit any of the Mexican Army while killing gang members. Move through the hideout while making sure that your targets are the red blips to kill and take them all out. Once you are done use the Fire Bombs to set fire to the 2 boats and the 3 houses in the hidout, then return to the General to complete the mission. For your troubles he will give you the Henry Repeater rifle.

---Tesora Azul--- *Thanks to RedDeadFan*
Tesoro Azul, fortified ruins of a catholic mission, lies between Escalero and Cuperosa in Nuevo Pariso. Fast travel or ride out there and you are prompted to "kill all gang members".
Shoot the guy outside the entrance, a couple of more guys will open the gates and come at you, shoot them, find some cover and take out the rest of the gang members. Upon shooting the last one you're prompted to "rescue the deputy by killing the gang leader". Follow the red skull on your minimap, enter the house. The gang leader is holding the deputy as a hostage in the room to the right, so make sure you have some dead eye for an easy headshot.
!!Also worth mentioning is you have to clear out Tesoro Azul doing the "Funny man" stranger quest.!!


---Cuchinoy--- [Not Needed for 100%] *Thanks to RedDeadFan*

Hunting Challenges:

Level 5 Master Hunter Perk: Buffalo Rifle
Level 10 Legendary Hunter Perk: Ability to harvest Vittles from animals for a consumable health item.


* Master Hunter 1
Requirement: Collect 5 Coyote Pelts
Strategy: Coyotes can be found all over. They travel in small packs and make a fairly whiny noise. They are also afraid of people and will run from you.


* Master Hunter 2
Requirement: Collect 5 Deer Pelts
Strategy: Deer are found all over. I noticed that Bucks DO NOT count towards this.


* Master Hunter 3
Requirement: Kill 5 wolves with your Knife and collect 5 Wolf Pelts
Strategy: Wolves are larger than Coyotes and travel in bigger packs. There are some in scattered locations around the first map around Rathskella Fork. There are ALOT of Wolves in Mexico as well. They are very agressive and will come after you. They also make an aggresice barking sound when you are around them. When you hear the barking jump off your horse and ready your knife to attack them. They die easily with the knife if you wait for them to charge you then slash when they are close.


* Master Hunter 4
Requirement: Collect 5 Boar Tusks and 3 Armadillo Carapaces
Strategy: Armadillos are located all over the maps and will be easy to find. Boars are a little trickier. There are occasionally Boars around Hennigan's Stead, and there are some around Tall Trees.


* Master Hunter 5
Requirement: Kill 2 Cougars with your Knife and collect 2 Cougar Pelts
Strategy: The sneaky annoying Cougars can be found in the mountains all over. They are very aggressive and will give a very menacing Wild Cat scream before attacking.

* Master Hunter 8
Requirement: Kill a Bear with your Knife and collect 1 Bear Pelt
Strategy: Bears are found in the area of Tall Trees in the north. Since you have to use your knife, I suggeest buying some bait and coaxing them to it first then attacking.
I found that the best way to do Master Hunting Challenge 8 is to first shoot the bear in the eye with the henry repeater and then slash it with the knife. After the shot in the face only one slash is needed to kill it and you still complete the challenge. *Thanks to Twyzted7*


* Master Hunter 9
Requirement: Search Ojo Del Diablo for "Khan" the Jaguar and collect his pelt
Strategy: Khan can be found in the Ojo Del Diablo. If you are having trouble finding him try using some bait to lure him out.

* Sharpshooter 5
Requirement: Kill any 2 different types of animals in 1 Dead Eye Meter
Strategy: Not as difficult as it sounds, when you see an animal look around for another, if you see one Dead Eye each one and shoot them. If they both die you win.


* Sharpshooter 6
Requirement: Shoot the hat's off 2 different people's heads
Strategy: This one can be a little difficult until you figure it out. For this you must shoot off their hats without them dieing. Get close to someone wearing a hat then Dead Eye aim and aim for the brim of their hat on the side to shoot it off.


* Sharpshooter 7

Friends in High Places:
*Thanks to Twyzted7*

Friends in High Places Achievement Strategy
Achieve a $5,000 bounty and use a pardon letter

Ok, before I even say how, purchase the bandana and use it for this if you dont wish to lose all of your honor, because believe me you will. Now, when I initially mentioned the strategy that worked for me others have said where they have done it, but being unable to confirm this and seeing the areas as a little risky myself I chose simply to explain the one that was safest and easiest (if not probably the one that took the longest) for me. So set aside some time for this because my way does take a couple hours to complete.

First off, you can do what I did and start at the armadillo train station roof, and head to Blackwater after, or you can just jump it off there. Once youre in Blackwater (assuming you start there, because it is the safest zone) you want to head to the back of the town to the tailoring shop. Stand on the opposite side of the road from the shop and look at all four buildings/roof. This is going to be your slaughter headquarters.


Now to the right of where youre facing youll find an open area leading to the back of the buildings and leaning against those buildings a wagon.


Use this wagon to climb up to the first roof. You can use any of these to start your onslaught, as well as the chimneys to hide from those cops that try to come in through the 2 openings in the back alleys. From here you simply start killing, if you run low on ammo or health, move to cover behind a chimney or one of the signs that stick upwards from the roof and wait for your bounty to drop. Once it resets feel free to jump down, save, purchase ammo, loot bodies, the whole nine and just rinse and repeat until you are at 5,000.


Also thanks to Angry___Panda, he gave me another location, the Blackwater Hotel, which is another prime spot in the city to blast away those fine lawmen and Blackwaterians. Below are the images in which route to take to perch up on the roof top, as well as a ladder leading to move finely covered rooftops.

Get a Gold Medal for a Combat Mission

*Thanks to Twyzted7*
Gold Medal
Obtain a gold medal in a combat mission

in order to obtain gold medal
Combat Mission - Political Realities of Armadillo (6 bad guys, mild chase, 5 to kill 1 to leave alive)
Time to completion - 2:30 and under
Accuracy - 100%
Head shots - 5

*First run through just race there as fast as you can and kill everyone while running. Don't worry about accuracy this time through just kill everything. I did it this way and obtained 2:22 as my fastest time.

*Second run through work on accuracy and head shots. You can do both at once or work on head shots first. You have to kill all 5 prior to the last guy with head shots in order to obtain the gold.

*If you need a third run through just go for accuracy, dead eye every target including the last one when you go for the leg shot.

On the second and third runs don't worry about time since it will always keep your fastest of under 2:30. Just focus on those head shots and 100% accuracy.

*Thanks to Twyzted7*

High Roller:

High Roller
Win over 2000 chips in a hand of Poker.

*Thanks to Twyzted7*

*Note* this can only be done in blackwater as the buy - in is $100 (1000 chips).

1. Save game prior and head down to the table to play.

2. Bet all in on the first hand.

3. repeat and reload if necessary until you get it.
*Thanks to Twyzted7*


ANOTHER METHOD!

1. Go to Blackwater, save in the saloon, then put on your elegant suit, with the elegant suit go and buy in the expensive poker game for 100$ (1000 chips), it is located on second floor of the hotel, not the saloon.

2. Bet all on the first hand, if they fold, keep betting till someone goes all in.

3. If you win, you get the trophy! If you lose, either put on your bandana (If you dont want to lose honor) or don't put it on, then start shooting the players. The cop behind you will start to shoot you, just let him kill you. Another fun way to get your self killed, is throw dynomite on the ground and wait for the whole room to go BOOM.

4. After you die, then you just rinse and repeat. This can be a little more fun then just reloading the save , might take a while more though.

Haha, you're the one who made me want to make this post because I saw your post asking for the stranger's locations So after I found them I thought to myself why should I only post that, so I decided to spend an hour (give or take) to make a whole guide.

And it'll get stickied when staff sees it. I don't want to go around asking moderators for a sticky

And thanks all.
