Guide for Red Dead Redemption 2s Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego mission

This guide will help you through the Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego mission in Red Dead Redemption 2\’s second chapter. During the mission, you\’ll encounter your first legendary animal in RDR2, a bear that can be hunted when not out on missions.

To start the mission, speak with Hosea Matthews in the gang hideout in Horseshoe Overlook. Accompany Hosea on a hunt for a legendary bear. You\’ll have the opportunity to track the animal down and confront this enormous bear.

After approaching the horse, remove the saddle and place it on the newly received mount. Get on the horse and ride to Valentine town. Reach the stable and sell your horse or buy and name a new one. This is also a great opportunity to check what you can purchase at a stable, such as styles for your horse\’s mane, hairdo, or a new saddle. These steps are optional.

Continue your journey with Hosea and reach the mountains to receive a new objective – hunt a rabbit. Take out your bow from the satchel attached to your horse, use the Eagle Eye, and look for a rabbit. Kill it with one shot from far away to avoid scaring it off. Approach the dead rabbit and take it back to your companion.

Set up camp by selecting Crafting Camp in the Items tab of the wheel menu. Interact with the bonfire and select Plain Game option. Eat the meat and repeat the process or end the activity. Press the correct button to go to sleep. In this mission, you can only wake up in the morning.

Interact with the bonfire again and select Potent Predator Bait in the tab with hunting items. Leave the bonfire and accompany Hosea to the lair of the legendary predator. Activate the Eagle Eye to examine tracks marked yellow. Follow the familiar line to another track and examine it. Examine the tracks that lead to the bear\’s lair. Reach the end of the line to trigger a short cut-scene. You now have to make a choice – split up or use bait.

To complete the mission \”Exit Pursued By a Bruised Ego\” in Red Dead Redemption 2, you have two options. Firstly, if you decided to stay with Hosea, you must place the bait in the marked location and move away from it before returning to it. Alternatively, if you chose to split up, go in the opposite direction to Hosea and listen out for his call before rescuing him. When the legendary bear appears, activate the Dead Eye and shoot as many bullets as possible towards the bear. After the mission, you can still hunt the bear using the map provided, but remember to save your progress and use consumables to replenish the Dead Eye. To get a gold medal, track the bear in less than 1 minute and 30 seconds, shoot it at least 6 times using the Dead Eye, and complete the mission in less than 12 minutes.
