the game is so big that in a normal speedrun like super mario bros a 0.5 time save would be so big and in this game a 4 hour time save is good just shows to prove how gigantic this game is.
When I finished all of the missions it only said like 71% or something because I didn't understand that the collectibles and all of the other side stuff counted towards the %
Just bought at Steam Summer sale, and loving the game so far. Watching this run made me more curious to not only finish it, but to 100% and maybe plat it too!
@@HessSR Finished the story the other day. Brutal. Just need to finish some challenges and collect the exotics, and I get the 100%! Thanks for the vids! I was wondering the other day why I haven't seen much activity from you. Looked to me you're kinda burned out from SR'ing. Hope it gets better for you.
This is incredibly impressive, I would never have to bough will power to attempt this, I literally gave up halfway through getting the legend of the east outfit
I would just like to thank you for the amazing work here, because this is a perfect outline for a 100% playthrough I can do at my own pace for that trophy. I can't imagine the dedication a 35 hr speedrun takes, but I can imagine the 350 hr version I'm about to start for my trophies
@@jtrout5 Nah don't remember the exact amount buy you only actually need a part of the full compendium for the 100% compared to the entire compendium for the trophies
@@jtrout5 You can check out a guy called jimbatron on YT he's made a pretty good 100% guide. It also goes through more casual aspects rather than how to do it as fast as possible
Thanks! I have not improved on this time no. I do kinda wanna go back and improve it though, but i'm not sure when I have time to practice and do a 30+ hour speedrun. maybe this summer who knows. The record has been improved though by FreshRigi, right now the best time is just below 30 hours.
@@HessSR the fact that you took breaks for sleep, I understand. How do you remember all this time, after which mission do you need to take something or where to shorten the time?
Watching your speedrun literally got me back in the mood of oneting to play this game agen soo I re downloaded it and I am now going to try and beat it I got a bit bord my first play thrue and never beet it when I was about 1/4the way thrue soo I think I'll goo for my fool cumpleeshon this time not 100% but beating the campaign.
@@HessSR yea I will lol its funny this game is a blast in campaign but soo soo boring in moltiplayer you would think moltiplayer would be more fun but it's just boring tbh.
Bandit 3 is such a trash, last time I almost robbed every stall in the map simply because it doesn't count towards the challenge due to some glitches. The safest way is probably wait until the store owner to open the counter, any action by the play might cause it to fail to register lmao
Don't know if you're still on this run, but I can tell from my perhaps 500 hours of solo : you don't have to dismount to inspect dreamcatchers and the easiest and fastest way to skip the skinning animation is to place your horse facing the belly of dead animals, between the legs
@@HessSR Also, by holding d-pad down for a second or two, you can set the minimap to expanded, which makes it constantly almost as big as when tapping down.
I have the game been waiting for winter time to play it. But I can watch you play it then play it without being so confused jajaja. Your good bro very patient!
Tried 100% but got to 92 before I couldn’t continue, this is my fav game in the world so thanks for this. (Btw Dutch’s horse is an albino rose grey bay Arabian. same stats as the rose gray bay Arabian and when you study his horse it says the coat is albino)
Tbh I’m proud that you even did this bc I can barely play for 12hrs, let alone 35 straight. And even tho it’s understandable you slept, I actually thought you were gonna say you had so much coffee and energy drinks, to the point where I thought you got nicotine and coke as a joke XD. Still congratulations bro
When you got the glitch where you have to do the oil wagon for the train heist you can skip that mission by doing the Micah mission first John gets the wagon and you don’t
thx toriks! oh yeah, lots better rng. although also new strats, for example quitting when you have bad cards in blackjack and then sitting down again + also using a new location for getting birds for hunting request.
@@HessSR i m playing it right now and so far so good, i m loving it. the writing reminds me so much of gta v and that s why i love rockstar so much cause they re so fking troll they re like their own fans creating a game
best red dead player i've ever seen in my life! Congratulations! I really want to do the 100% but I have two questions: first is it necessary to deliver the items to the campmates for the 100%? I already won this trophy. second thing: do i need to do all the story mode camp missions? because I already won that trophy too. I wanted to start a new save and not depend on doing camping missions, and delivering camping items. because I already have both trophies. I just want the 100% trophy, you know?
Thx! Nah those things are not necessary for 100%. There’s a checklist in the game’s progress menu or just google RDR2 100% completion checklist. There’s a lot of stuff to do, but there’s a lot you don’t need to.
I beat the entire game including all side content, epilogues, collectibles, trophies, all possible random encounters; and I did this in 23 minutes. I defy even God to beat that.
Hey maybe it could be too late bc you know since it’s been 4 months and you’ve prolly restarted another run BUT, you do know you can craft ammo on a horse right? It needs to be at walking speed, but it’s better than standing still, and you can just ride it instead of getting back on it again, hopefully I helped
Awesome run! Wouldn't it be better to change the route a bit so the 250$ bounty is attained through the sheep herding mission? (you got a 300$ bounty there)
maybe. i think i tried getting it there but it didn't work or something. or maybe it did. i can't remember. think you can also get it in blessed are the meek. i'll definitely look into it when i start my next 100% run
If i just mindlessly rush through the story, can i still get 100%? Optional honor missions, missable main story missions like john's steal the oil wagon (something part II), they all don't matter? Will i be able to collect enough weapons too?
Brandon _37 depends on what game and who moderates it. Since I moderate RDR2 I chose that breaks were allowed. Breaks are generally allowed in rly long 100% runs like botw/rdr2 but it’s different from game to game
Just curiosity some people have different definitions for 100% what’s all included in speedrun cause I don’t think you’ll be running around picking up unique hats or weapons
This is ridiculously cool man, awesome job. I wanna get 100% too, I’m at 97.2% as of now. I think the high stakes treasure map is glitched for me, and I need it for 100 :( Great job 👏
I don't exactly remember my mindset at launch but i thought it would be interesting to speedrun it, especially cus it's such a long game. And then ever since then i've been interested in beating my times and getting new timesaves like when they announced fast travel og when we find new strats and stuff. I'm probably taking a long break from RDR2 now but it's been a cool journey
@@HessSR ok cool..thanks for slaking my curiosity, and thanks for sharing your efforts, I'm gonna try watch it in full soon but I haven't quite finished the game (been taking it real slow and didn't pick it up till relatively recently) and I'll save your vid for when I've done 👍 Have a good day!
@@christoschristophi190 Awesome, enjoy, and enjoy the game! Definitely take it slow, i went through it a bit too fast when i first played. (i've learned from that now though). Good day to you too!
Having 100%’ed this game, I know how much work goes in to all of it and how RNG affects it. This is incredibly impressive and I salute you
Thank you!
And grats to you too for 100%’ing it, it’s quite a task
Did you get the platinum?
not to forget he speedrunned it. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There's RNG in this game? How
I typed this in thinking there's no way someone has a 100% speed run for red dead. And yet here I am. Top job you absolute mad lad
Hehe thx
"There' are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works." - John Marston...probably
Incredibly impressive. Love RDR2 and love it that someone actually took the time to speedrun it at this magnitude.
Yo, thanks man! Yeah I love it too, great game.
the game is so big that in a normal speedrun like super mario bros a 0.5 time save would be so big and in this game a 4 hour time save is good just shows to prove how gigantic this game is.

When you got the glitch where you have to do the oil wagon for the train heist you can skip that mission by doing the Micah mission first John gets the wagon and you don’t
normally you can skip it by sleeping and doing the mary mission but i did smth wrong i guess since it didn't get skipped
