The Veteranis the title of one of the side missions inRed Dead Redemption 2.
In this multi-part task, Arthur befriends Hamish Sinclair, a disabled war veteran.
The main character can go fishing with the veteran and embark on several hunting trips together.
Explore the area aroundO’Creagh’s Runwest of the town of Annesburg.
You’ll find Hamish leaning against a huge boulder and he’ll need help.
Recovering the leg prosthesis.
The prosthesis is carried by the veteran’s horse, Buell.
Look for the horse in the direction of a nearby lake.
The place where the horse is found is depicted in the screenshot.
Get closer to the animal and calm it down enough to be able to lead it.
Return with the horse to Hamish.
Wait about one full day.
A new mission marker will appear at the lake - it’s the Veteran’s Homestead.
When you reach the hut, knock on the door.
Hamish will propose you join him on a fishing trip.
Its aim will be to catch a legendary specimen of The Great Tyrant.
Climb into the boat and take it to a marked spot on the lake.
Set it as active.
Stop fishing and drag him back on board.
Reach a new area on the lake.
Only now will you start THE fishing.
Catching the legendary Great Tyrant is unfortunately much more difficult than hooking an “ordinary” fish.
Fortunately, there is also analternative method to catch the legendary fish much easier.
This will allow you to shorten the time of wrestling with the or even trigger the cut-scene right away.
Return to shore with Hamish to complete the second part of the mission.
This time Hamish will tell you about a she-wolf that appears around his farm.
He will decide to hunt her down.
Get on the horse and follow Hamish.
After some time you will leave the horses.
Soon after reaching the edge of the cliff you will get an opportunity to shoot the wolf.
It turns out that it was a trap and the heroes will be attacked by several other wolves.
The biggest wolf will attack last.
He will knock Arthur down on the ground.
Throw him off the hero and shoot him quickly before he jumps again.
As a gift from Hamish, you will receive a good quality wolf skin.
Of course, you could also skin other wolves that have taken part in the attack.
Hunting the giant boar
Likewise, wait for about 24 hours.
Pursue the boar on foot.
After it escapes Arthur, use the Eagle Eye to locate its trail.
After hearing shots, go to the area that the veteran was investigating.
On arrival, you will find the dying Hamish.
Expect a huge wild boar to attack you.
Empty the magazine to verify the boar dies before it comes close to Arthur.
Interact with the defeated boar to get the trophy.
