How to Find Treasure Maps in Red Dead Redemption 2

By Prosyscom Tech

 

Maps in Red Dead 2 show a drawing of an area with steps to reach the treasure. You can find on your own or purchase them from
treasure hunters around the world.
The Jack Hall Gang, a band of outlaws from yesteryear, left their stash of gold somewhere in or around New Hanover.
You can purchase the first map in this treasure hunt from Maximo, a treasure hunter you can meet after starting Chapter 2 near Flatneck Station. He will offer to sell you the map for $5 if you decline, or you can kill him and take it off of his body. If you fail to collect the map from Maximo, it can be purchased from a Fence later on.

Jack Hall Treasure Map 01[edit]

The first map to the Jack Hall Gang treasure can be purchased from Maximo, a treasure hunter found on the ridge overlooking the river north-west of Flatneck Station and north of Bard’s Crossing, for $10.00.

The High Stakes treasure can be started either during a random encounter out in the world, or later by purchasing a map from a fence if the player has missed the random encounter enough times.

High Stakes Treasure Map 1[edit]

To find the first of the High Stakes treasure maps, you’ll need to keep an eye out for an older treasure hunter.

He won’t willingly give up his map, so you’ll need to either rob him at gunpoint, kill or hogtie and then loot him, or just run into him hard enough to make him drop the map.

We’ve had the best luck spotting him at the top of a large rock to the north-east of Riggs Station, though he can also appear in various locations between Strawberry and Valentine.

Once you’ve collected the map, you’ll find the first treasure stash at Cumberland Falls, west of Valentine.

Approach the base of the falls from the west, then swim across to the rocks on the south side of the falls.

You’ll find a fallen tree allows you to get up to the side of the waterfall – climb up behind the falls to collect the stash and the next map.

The second map will lead you north, into the Grizzlies West.

This treasure stash is located above the frozen water of Barrow Lagoon, between Lake Isabelle and Widow Rock.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 02-2.jpg
Head down onto the frozen lake and look for a tree bridging the ice-coated island and the rocky banks of the lagoon.

You’ll find the treasure and the next map stashed in the knot of the log bridge.

High Stakes Treasure Map 3[edit]

This final map will take you close to Fort Wallace.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-1.jpg
It’s on the large rock formation directly next to Ft Wallace to the north-east.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-2.jpg
Ride along the path leading east around the front of the fort, then veer off to ride up the hill on the backside of the large rock face.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-3.jpg
At the top you’ll find a path leading down between the two peaks of the rock. Follow it down to the cliffside below and turn left.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-4.jpg
Follow the ledge and then continue up the thin ramp that rises ahead of you, crouching to make your way around the corner.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-5.jpg
There’s a slight drop ahead of you – jump down, then turn around and drop to the next ledge down.
RDR2 HighStakesTreasure 03-6.jpg
Jump across to the next ledge and crouch under the low overhang – you’ll find three gold bars stashed in the rocks at the end of the overhang.
The Poisonous Trail is a unique set of treasure maps in that you cannot buy the starter map anywhere, nor will anyone tell you about it. Instead, you will have to stumble upon it in the wilderness, and the following maps will take you all across the lands in Read Dead 2.

Poisonous Trail Map 1[edit]

PoisonMap1.jpg
To locate the first map, head up to the West Grizzles where Chapter 1 of the game took place, and head southeast from the town of Colter you were holed up in to the small Cairn Lake.
PoisonMap1 Loc1.jpg
Enter the Cairn Lake Lodge, and look under the bed for a lockbox you can loot – which will contain the Poisonous Trail Map 1.
PoisonMap1 Loc2.jpg
The Map features an iconic looking rock face that looks like a head, with a path leading to the right winding past trees to the treasure.
PoisonMap2.jpg
You’ll find this geographical feature in the state of Lemoyne, North of Rhodes, and North of the Hill Haven Ranch along the road up in the Scarlett Meadows.
PoisonMap2 Loc1.jpg
Look for the Face Rock on the left side of the road as you go northwest of Hill Haven Ranch.
Consult the map and go right from the rock face past a tree and down a slope.
PoisonMap2 Loc2.jpg
Here you will see a withered tree trunk, and a fallen log behind it.
PoisonMap2 Loc3.jpg
Search behind the withered tree trunk to find a hole at the base you can inspect to find the next map piece.

Poisonous Trail Map 2[edit]

Upon finding the treasure map at the Face Rock in Scarlett Meadows, you will have your next clue. The map will feature a snake-like formation, and a mound with rocks where the treasure is located.
PoisonMap3.jpg
You can find this geoglyph in lower Roanoke Ridge in New Hanover, just to the west of the Van Horn Trading Post along the lower road going towards the Kamassa River.
PoisonMap3 Loc1.jpg
Halfway along the road to the river past the train tracks, head south up the hill to find an abandoned tower you can climb.
PoisonMap3 Loc2.jpg
At the top, look down on the hillside to spot the geoglyph of the snake, which Arthur will draw in his journal.
At the top of the hill is the circular end of the snake with a rocky mound in the middle.
PoisonMap3 Loc3.jpg
Climb down into the mound and inspect the hole to get the next treasure map.

Poisonous Trail Map 3[edit]

The final map you find at the Snake Geoglyph points to the location of treasure in a hidden cave. The map depicts a waterfall with a passage behind it, and a tunnel off to the right leading to treasure.
PoisonMap4.jpg
Move north of the Snake Geoglyph up to the Elysian Pool in New Hanover’s central Roanoke Ridge.
PoisonMap4 Loc1.jpg
At the north end of the pool where the river empties out you will find a large waterfall.
PoisonMap4 Loc2.jpg
Leave your horse behind and jump headfirst into the waterfall, only to find a secret passage into a large cave system on the other side.
PoisonMap4 Loc3.jpg
As you move deeper past the initial cave tunnel, ignore the rest of the cave on the map, and look down on the right in the first large corridor for a small slope down to a pit.
PoisonMap4 Loc4.jpg
At the bottom of the pit, check the wall on the right for a small hole to crawl through into a new area.
PoisonMap4 Loc5.jpg
The next part has a crossroads with two paths – and by consulting your map you’ll find that going right is the correct choice. You can also find an abandoned campsite here with a lockbox that holds some valuables.
PoisonMap4 Loc6.jpg
Moving past the campsite, you’ll come out onto a ledge. Look to the left with your lantern to find a pit below you, and a lower ledge on the left that you must run to (tap the run button to build speed) and then jump across to land safely.
PoisonMap4 Loc7.jpg
After landing on the lower ledge, look for a long slope on the other side to fall down to a end with some water, and a pile of rocks on the left.
Climb up and inspect the large rock pile to find at last the treasure of The Poisonous Trail – 4 Gold Bars, which sell for $500 a piece at your local Fence!
