Tracking down hidden riches in Red Dead Redemption 2 remains one of the most rewarding endeavors for players exploring the vast frontier. Among the various treasure hunts available, the Poisonous Trail quest line stands out due to its mysterious clues and lucrative payout. Finding the second map in this chain is a critical step that brings players closer to claiming substantial wealth.
Where to Find Poisonous Trail Map 2
To locate the second Poisonous Trail map, you must travel to the region of Lemoyne, specifically within Scarlett Meadows. The map is hidden just west of Ringneck Creek and Eris Field, near an outcrop known as Face Rock. Upon arriving at the hill behind Face Rock, look for a dead, hollow tree trunk where the document is tucked away.
Retrieving this document updates your quest log and reveals an illustration pointing to the next location. Players should ensure they have thoroughly searched the base of the hollow tree to trigger the prompt. Once collected, your next destination takes you north toward Roanoke Ridge.
Deciphering the Clue for Map 3
The sketch provided on the second map depicts a distinct serpentine mound in the terrain. This site is located west of the Van Horn Trading Post in lower Roanoke Ridge. When you arrive at the Serpent Mound, climb to the coiled top area to locate a pile of loose stones.
Searching inside the rock formation uncovers the third and final Poisonous Trail map. This last piece of the puzzle leads directly to the secret hiding spot of the actual treasure. Make sure to prepare adequate lighting before venturing into the final destination.
Locating and Claiming the Final Treasure
The final treasure is hidden inside a dark cavern behind the waterfall at Elysian Pool. Navigating this subterranean cave requires careful movement, jumping across chasm ledges, and descending into lower chambers. At the deepest point of the cavern, searching a pile of rocks yields four Gold Bars worth a total of two thousand dollars.
After acquiring the gold, you can navigate back out of the cave or respawn outside. Taking the bars to any Fence across the map will immediately boost your character funds. Completing this hunt is essential for any player aiming to maximize their financial standing in the game.
