Embarking on the final leg of the High Stakes treasure hunt in Red Dead Redemption 2 brings players to one of the most perilous environments on the map. Deciphering the third map is essential for anyone wishing to claim a lucrative reward that can fund Arthur Morgan's journey through the frontier. This stage demands careful navigation and a steady foot as you brave narrow cliffsides to reach the final prize.
Navigating to the Mountain Pass
The third map points directly toward the snowy and treacherous terrain of the Grizzlies West region, specifically near Cumberland Falls and Fort Wallace. To begin your search, you must ride up into the mountains until you find the steep rocky pathways overlooking the Whinyard Strait. This area is highly elevated, meaning a single misstep can result in a fatal fall for Arthur.
Look for a stone pathway that hugs the side of the massive cliff face just above the roaring river. Navigating this trail carefully is crucial since the path narrows significantly as you get closer to the final coordinates. Ensuring your horse is left safely behind will make your foot travel much easier to manage.
Traversing the Treacherous Ledge
Once you arrive at the designated cliffside path, you must proceed on foot with extreme caution. Walk along the narrow ledge until you reach a point where the path seems to drop off completely into the abyss. You will need to carefully drop down to a slightly lower platform to continue your advance forward.
After dropping down, turn around and crouch to guide Arthur under a low-hanging stone archway built into the mountain. This requires slow movement to prevent sliding down the steep embankment. Following this hidden route ensures you stay on the correct track without losing your footing.
Locating the Final Secret Stash
The path will lead you to a small crevice tucked deeply within the mountain wall where the elements have not worn the stone away. Reach into the shadowed gap to discover the hidden stash that concludes this long journey across the frontier. Inside, you will find three glittering Gold Bars that can be sold for a massive payout at any local fence.
Acquiring this wealth will significantly boost your upgrade potential back at the main camp. It serves as an excellent reward for players who took the time to solve each riddle methodically. Making a safe descent back down the mountain path is your final task before heading back into town to enjoy your hard-earned spoils.
