has a grown everyone welcome back to
another reddit redemption to video my
name is saints van and today i have
seven things that i think you need to
know about your horse in the game these
are some things that i actually recently
just found out about and the reason is
because while rockstar made a wonderful
game here a lot of like little things
they don't actually tell you you have to
either find out on your own which is
hard to do sometimes or maybe watch it
in a video like this but the seven
things you need to know about your horse
let's go ahead and get in the first
thing this one is kind of a cool thing
it definitely comes in handy sometimes
you can jump straight onto your horse
from higher ground so if like you're up
on a cliff that's not too high or if
you're unlike the second story of a
building especially in saint-denis
there's a lot of buildings with the
balconies if your horse is right below
you and you jump off if in midair you
hit why you can actually just hop on
your horse straight away that saves a
lot of times you don't want to fall off
of that balcony let's say hit the ground
stumble and Bumble and everything you
get shot a couple times and then you
have that on your horse and sometimes
your horse runs away just hop on your
horse straight from the balcony or from
that higher ground and you can get away
a lot quicker so I thought that was
really cool next thing and I had no idea
about this this may be kind of obvious
for some people but you can actually
dismount your horse to either side
depending on what you want it's not
random I always thought it was random I
kept hitting why and then sometimes my
guy would get off on the left sometimes
he'd get off on the right and I was like
okay why why is he doing this but if you
want to choose just hold left or right
on the left analog stick and that's the
side you dismount from so if I hold left
while hitting why my guys would be able
to left if I hold right he's gonna go to
the right I thought that was kind of a
cool thing to know next and this is
something like I don't know how the hell
you're supposed to find this if you
didn't read the strategy guide
but basically more short whistles we'll
call your horse quicker and what I mean
by that let's take a look at the actual
part in the strategy guide rocks or say
there is an additional although hidden
system that determines your horses
reactivity to your whistles and it's
called the response bar the higher your
bonding level the more the response bar
is extended for segments at level one
six segments at level two and eight
segments at level three and a four every
time you tap or hold up to whistle the
bar fills incrementally broadly each tap
fills half of a segment at level one one
segment at level two and three and two
segments at level four the more you fill
a response bar the faster your horse
gate will be when it moves towards you
and then in short you can press up
repeatedly to make your horse come to
you more rapidly and this works even
better at higher bonding levels so like
I said I don't know how the hell you're
supposed to find that out if you don't
read the strategy guide but basically if
you just keep tapping up on that d-pad
when you're whistling your horse will
come quicker versus just tapping it once
this next thing is something that that
is kind of cheese in the system but it's
kind of annoying when especially in some
of these missions it spawns you so far
away from your horse because you don't
end up using your horse during that
mission you use something else and in
that scenario you either have to just
walk until you find someone's horse to
steal or you have to walk into town and
hope someone gives you a rider you know
something you have to do something else
which is kind of annoying well in order
to get your horse right next to you all
you have to do is quickly save the game
and then reload that save everything
will be fine and your horse will spawn
right next to you like I said it's kind
of cheese in the system but if you are
wanting to ride your own horse instead
of someone else's that's how you can do
it this nice thing is such an amazing
tip for hunting the one problem with
hunting is that you can only carry one
big pelt or one big
animal on your own horse well you have
multiple horses you can use all of them
to hunt you can see in the gameplay I
have three horses you may even be able
to push this up to four I don't know the
limit if someone wants to test then you
guys can let us know in the comment
section but I have three horses here and
I have three pelts and three animals so
I can get you know triple the money the
way this works is you have to have your
main horse and then you also have to
have at least another horse tamed and on
the mini-map you'll see that's like the
horse icon it's not the satchel icon and
then the third horse is just another
horse that you can either steal or that
you can get out of your stable honestly
the two horses that I got they are not
even stapled I literally just stole them
and it only takes a couple of minutes to
get it to level one at least so it will
follow you but if you are going out
hunting this is such an amazing little
helpful tip to allow you to get more one
of the final things this is something it
makes sense but I think a lot of people
may not realize what's happening if
you're like me and I know if you guys
watch my streams I am the worst at this
I crash into trees and rocks so often
when I'm on my horse and the reason is
because I am actually controlling the
horse well when you're in forests and
stuff if you just hold the a button or
like tap a button and don't touch the
left analog stick your horse will
naturally guide itself and it will dodge
rocks and trees and other obstacles in
the way and I think the problem comes
when you try to dodge it yourself it's
sort of conflicting with what the horse
is doing and that's why sometimes you
run into the trees and the rocks so if
you're in a forest or if you're in a you
know crowded area just hold the a button
let the horse do what it wants to do and
you should be good and then the final
thing that I think is such an awesome
little trinket the boar talisman
this thing is really helpful for your
horse I believe what it does is
permanently decrease the speed that the
horses health and stamina cores are
drain by 10 percent and that doesn't
sound like a lot but it does come in
handy if you buy this or you have to
craft it and the way to craft it you
need this I think it's like the
petrified wood which is unfortunately
found way up on the top of the map I
think by Lake Isabella there's a chest
up here in a little cave and it's in
that but once you have that you do need
also the legendary boar you could find
that in the marsh north of saint-denis
and then you also need a gold earring
which by the way it took me forever to
actually get but once you do have all
those items and you craft it then that
effect takes place so your horse is
health and stamina quarters decrease by
10%
so that's like I said not a lot but it
does come in handy when you're riding
constantly throughout the world I mean
there's a lot of stamina being used when
you're going from st. to need a
Valentine or you know vice versa so
getting this early on will provide a
pretty big benefit so those were seven
or maybe even eight things that you
should know about your horse hopefully
this makes your horsing experiences a
lot better in RDR too but thank you all
