Red Dead Redemption 2 has several treasure map chains that lead you to hidden valuables across the world, each offering big rewards like gold bars, cash, and rare items. In this guide, we will show you all treasure map locations & solutions in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Treasure Map Locations & Solutions
The Jack Hall Gang, High Stakes, Landmarks of Riches, and Poisonous Trail maps each send you through multiple locations, ranging from Caliban’s Seat and Cotorra Springs to Barrow Lagoon, Mount Shann, and the deep caves behind Elysian Pool, eventually rewarding you with piles of gold bars.
Other standalone hunts include the Sketched Map near Annesburg (leading to a gold ingot), the Torn Treasure/Mended Map that reveals Ottis Miller’s Revolver in Rattlesnake Hollow, and the Elemental Trail, available only in the Epilogue, ending at Coot’s Chapel with horse items and a gold bar. Finally, the Le Tresor Des Morts map, found in Limpany and solved in Saint Denis, grants several gold bars as well. These treasure hunts offer some of the richest rewards in the game.
