Exploring the expansive world of Red Dead Redemption 2 presents players with numerous secrets, including hidden treasure hunts that yield unique items. Unlike standard treasure quests that reward gold bars, tracking down the Torn Treasure Map leads to exclusive personal collectibles and a legendary sidearm. Understanding where to discover the initial piece of the map is the first step toward completing this intriguing expedition.
Finding the First Half at Little Creek River
The first part of the Torn Treasure Map is hidden inside a remote cabin located at the far end of Little Creek River in West Elizabeth. Upon approaching the small wooden shack, players will encounter an aggressive Hermit Woman who immediately unleashes three guard dogs. Defeating the hostile resident and her pack allows you to safely search the interior of the cabin.
Once inside the cabin, inspect the small nightstand located directly beside the bed. Opening the nightstand drawer reveals the first half of the map item for your collection. You can also search the cabin for extra ammunition and loot before continuing your journey across the frontier.
Locating the Second Half in Roanoke Ridge
To assemble the complete treasure map, players must travel to Manito Glade, which sits north of Annesburg in the Roanoke Ridge region. This secluded home belongs to a hostile Hermit man who will threaten players on sight. Eliminating or neutralizing the landowner is necessary to access the dwelling safely.
Inside this second cabin, search the wooden drawers positioned in the corner of the room to retrieve the remaining piece of the map. Additionally, players should claim the Rare Shotgun dropped by the hermit, as it cannot be acquired anywhere else in the game. Joining both fragments together produces the Mended Map, which points directly to the final reward location.
Unlocking the Final Treasure in New Austin
Claiming the hidden reward requires traveling to New Austin, a southern region that becomes accessible during the game's Epilogue. Head northwest of Armadillo toward a rocky outcrop near Rattlesnake Hollow. Nestled within the cliffside is a small cave entrance that players must crouch to enter.
Inside the cave, players will discover a decorative wooden chest resting against the stone walls. Opening the chest reveals six collectible erotic photographs alongside Otis Miller's Revolver. This customized, gold-engraved firearm features excellent accuracy and rapid firing capabilities, making it a valuable addition to your arsenal.
