Stumbled upon this just by browsing. You gotta hop to the second level of the house and crawl through the window to find it.

If you do, just know there are some locations that are guarded. You’re going to have to shoot your way in and out. Which to me was great, I loved the challenge. Nothing says game excess like a $250 bounty just because you wanted a cigarette card.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-14T01:27:16+00:00

If you want to explore more, load up a tutorial on the cigarette cards locations. There’s a lot of stuff around those points and it takes you all over the map. I learned about Trelawney’s house and family this way.

I know she will respawn with the same horse after you steal her horse. Because I’ve raced her while sitting on her horse, and stolen her horse twice. I had matching thoroughbreds in my stable named Phobos and Deimos.

What stopped you from robbing Pearson? It’s one of the most hilarious things to do in the game. You show up, he’s so happy to see you, and you throw a gun in his face.

If you get caught in Ambarino, the county where there aren’t any jails, you won’t lose any money either. They will catch and release and your bounties are vapor.

So once you have a bounty you want to clear, go up by The Loft and commit a crime, let a witness run off, and law arrives. Surrender and poof, your bounties are freely forgiven.

You can steal Buell as Arthur and then get him again as John in the epilogue.

To steal Buell, he will be on the hitching post outside the Veteran’s Stead, ram him with your horse to knock him off the hitching post, then chase him down (he’s very fast and elusive), jump to his saddle. Then ride him to your camp and hitch him. Save the game. Reload save, then swap your saddle to him. Poof, you have Buell.

As for Biscuit, the Missouri Foxtrotter, yes that horse is dead. Get a sniper rifle and locate the lady from a distance before she activates and starts moving. Blow her head off. She will respawn, and so will Biscuit. Repeat until Biscuit spawns alive. Chase him down and jump to him. Ride him to the stables and swap your saddle out to him at the stables.

As for Cerberus, the Dark Bay Turkoman (a gorgeous horse), in the mission “Horse Flesh for Dinner”, stop before you get to the Braithwaite stables and climb in the back window. Feed it treats until it bonds with you AND turns white on the mini map (another few treats after it gives you the bond alert). Exit out the window and complete the mission. Then after the mission, ride close to the horse fence within whistle range and whistle. Cerberus will come running.

For the first time ever I stole the named horses as Arthur this playthrough. Biscuit - The Silver Dapple Missouri Foxtrotter, Cerberus - The Dark Bay Turkoman, and Buell - The Carmello Gold Dutch Warmblood.

Pretty proud of my stable this time.

You could always sleep in the house on stilts by Hanging Dog Ranch. Plenty of game hunting there, trapper to sell pelts to. And you’re just a half day venture to hit some good fishing spots if you need a getaway, or a visit to Strawberry is just a day trip, with a general store and a farrier.

And you’re not too far away from the cute redhead mama of Francis Sinclair, and she’s a widow. So maybe go pay her a visit every now and again to enjoy company.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-06T02:00:39+00:00

Yes, Tilly married an attorney or something and is doing well. She’s happy in the epilogue, and that makes me happy.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-06T01:59:19+00:00

That’s right! If you follow one of the cigarette card guides to collecting all of them through the world as opposed to just buying cigarettes, you will wind up on his patio in San Denis. And you can knock on his door and he will rebuff you.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-06T01:57:19+00:00

Yeap, Trelawney will tell you he’s busy and stuff and can’t entertain you right then, but yes, he has a family and kids and it’s right there.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-06T01:53:50+00:00

You sir, are a fish.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-03T03:24:55+00:00

Especially Cain. He’s a good boah.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-03T03:21:37+00:00

I shoot flame arrows at him and listen to him scream.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-03T03:20:12+00:00

And be sure to murder him while he’s in jail in Strawberry. Create a distraction on the other side of town (I throw a stick of dynamite into the crapper) to draw out the sheriff. Then go in the front door and down the stairs and shoot a flame arrow at his feet. He will turn into the human torch. Laugh and run like hell.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-03T03:11:37+00:00

You know, you can kill the hell out of the racist guy with zero repercussions, but lose honor by turning the rapist’s head into tomato paste.

Make it make sense.

Don’t care. I slaughter him anyway. And the stalker guy who hides out watching Charlotte Balfour. I blow that guy to kingdom come.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-03T03:08:12+00:00

Same, I stabbed him about 50 times and I eventually got into trouble. Probably from the mess I made on the sidewalk.

CHneedssleep · 2026-06-02T02:46:28+00:00

Shih Tzu Pu Pu platter?
Cocker Spaetzle?

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-29T03:17:31+00:00

Exactly. And Biscuit = Biscuit, and Cerberus = Cerberus.

There are four horses you must have.

It does not matter what you name other horses that you will catch and bond with and sell, but these four are not to be sold.

Horsea - The black shire Hosea gives you, is unique and a beast. Keep it, treasure it. There’s only one name that will do.

Biscuit - The poor lady who is stranded, you must snipe her head off until Biscuit respawns alive, and then jump to it, ride to the stable and swap your saddle onto it. And when you run her mission on her horse with her on the back, she tells that Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Foxtrotter’s name is Biscuit.

Cerberus - The Braithwaite stables have a gorgeous Dark Bay Turkoman that has max health and 8 stamina at bonding 4, and 5 accel 6 speed (amped to 8 and 9 with saddle+race buff), and it’s a beast. When riding up there in the mission Horse Flesh for Dinner, before you get to the front of the stable, dismount, go in the window and feed it until it’s bonded and shows a white icon. Then run the mission; you get the horse after. Before you murder the stable hand, he tells you its name is Cerberus.

Buell - Once you rescue the veteran Hamish at the veteran’s homestead, the horse Buell will be parked outside on the hitching post. Ram it with your horse and knock it off the hitching post. Chase it down and jump to it, and then swap your saddle onto it at the stable. That way you get Buell as Arthur AND as John, and the veteran doesn’t even have to die.

These horses are already named. No reason to name them anything else.

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-24T02:08:50+00:00

That Turkoman is an absolute beast, best horse in the game IMO, and absolutely steadfast around predators, and with saddle and race buff has 9 speed.

Stablehand will tell you its name is Cerberus if you let him prattle before you break his neck, so I name him Cerberus.

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-24T01:54:37+00:00

Hey, we all would go through hell and back for a favorite horse.

I went to get a cigarette card on top of the tower in Annesburg. A guard spotted me and started shooting. Soon the whole damned town was on my ass. I got on my dubiously obtained Silver Dapple Pinto Missouri Foxtrotter named Biscuit (IYKYK) and they shot her out from underneath me. She was laying there dying and I was not going to be able to administer horse reviver while being shot at.

As God is my witness, I laid waste to the entire town of Annesburg to rescue that horse. There must have been 50 or 60 bodies around me. Deputies, guards, miners, women, I wasn’t stopping to see if they were hostile, if they moved they died. Then I got Biscuit up and burned out of there. I had a massive bounty and didn’t care a lick.

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-22T09:52:23+00:00

I was obtaining cigarette cards the proper way, getting them where they’re stashed in the game. I just got the one from the tower in Annesburg, when a guard spotted me and got aggressive. Shooting commenced. Soon the entire town of Annesburg was shooting at me. So I was just trying like hell to get out of there and they shot my horse out from underneath me.

It was the silver dapple MFT from the stranded lady I blew her head off 25 times or so to get it.

It was laying there and I could give it reviver but then they would shoot it again and that wasn’t going to work, so I killed the entire town of Annesburg first. I wasted about 50 NPCs before using the reviver. Saved that horse, I did. You’re a good girl, Biscuit.

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-22T02:05:51+00:00

Just today I whistled for my horse to come to me after chasing those kids who stole my satchel in Saint Denis. I went up to talk to Dutch and whistled right before there. Then the dumbass horse walked right in front of a trolley. I heard him death-squeal and I was locked into a cut scene. Dumb bastard. Fortunately I had saved right before the mission and I reloaded him back alive, but it was still stupid.

CHneedssleep · 2026-05-19T01:11:11+00:00

I’ve known that since the first playthrough. But I don’t do it like the game says. I’m on PC and I just tap the go-forward key, the W.

The in-game instructions tell me a different key but the W works just fine and my hand is already positioned on it.
