This page in our guide to Red Dead Redemption 2 contains the map of West Elizabeth. Unlike the previous two regions, this one isn't as inhabited. Here, you can find only two larger locations. Strawberry, one of the towns, is visited during chapter 2. This region has, i.e. Cigarette Cards, Dinosaur Bones or lairs of Legendary Animals.

General information about West Elizabeth

  1. Dutch's gang doesn't stop in West Elizabeth for too long. However, you visit these lands during various main and side missions. Strawberry town is especially important - here, Arthur can start quests or visit stores.
  2. Watch out in the southern part of the state - Blackwater and its surrounding areas are off-limits. Enter this area, and Arthur will be attacked. This changes in the epilogue.
  3. The majority of West Elizabeth consists of mountains. Watch out, you don't want to fall down from great heights, and kill Arthur or his horse.
  4. There are no railroad tracks near Strawberry - the two train stations found in this region are west and north-west from the town. However, you can access this town fast by traveling in a stagecoach.
  5. Throughout the epilogue, the main character will live in two different places in West Elizabeth. His first home is in Pronghorn Ranch, the second is in Beecher's Hope.

The most important locations in West Elizabeth

  1. Strawberry - One of the main towns in the game. Some of the main missions in chapter 2 take place in this town, and in the areas surrounding it. This town also offers a few side missions. Also, Arthur can visit, i.e. stores or a hotel.
  2. Blackwater - This location is off-limits. Enter this area, and Arthur will be attacked. Visit this place later, during the epilogue.
  3. Pronghorn Ranch - This is the main character's first home during the epilogue. The ranch has only a fraction of the activities that were available in the previous gang hideouts.
  4. Beecher's Hope - The second "base" available during the epilogue. This place becomes your home - you can go back here even after the main storyline.

Hunting wild animals in West Elizabeth

The north is full of mountains and forests. The south consists of open spaces. These lands are full of various wild animals.

Side missions available in West Elizabeth

We have marked starting locations of side quests as well as places that allow you to continue side quests in West Elizabeth. Below, you can find the list of all side quests available in West Elizabeth, one of the regions in RDR2.

  1. Arcadia for Amateurs - Only parts I and II are in West Elizabeth. The next parts are in Lemoyne and New Hanover. This quest consists of 5 parts in total.
  2. Joshua Brown - This is a Bounty Hunting mission, not a full side quest.
  3. Geology for Beginners - A short mission related to one of the in-game secrets. Add it to your log and start looking for the rock carvings.
  4. Elias Green - This is a Bounty Hunting mission, not a full side quest. This bounty poster is in Blackwater which means that you have to do it during the epilogue or after the main storyline.
  5. Otis Skinner - This is a Bounty Hunting mission, not a full side quest. You can do it in the epilogue.
  6. The American Inferno, Burnt Out - The first meeting takes place in another region. All other parts are done near his cabin.

Our guide has walkthroughs for all these missions. Remember, not every quest is available automatically. Some of them may require you to, i.e. reach a specific chapter in the campaign. All requirements for adding them to your log are described in our guide.
