The Four Horses Challenge in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare suits its name quite well—it is pretty challenging to complete. It’s not difficult per se, but it is a bit tricky in the sense that it can take you hours or no time at all.
The Four Horses Challenge essentially tasks you with finding the Four Horses of the Apocalypse in RDR1 Undead Nightmare. For those unaware of the legend, these are Famine, Pestilence, War, and Death. These creatures are mythical in the game as well, coming in with special powers and stats that will make you want to keep a lookout wherever you travel. If you're having a tough time, remember that RDR1 Undead Nightmare does have cheats that you can use.
However, finding the Four Horses of the Apocalypse is easier said than done, as they don’t have a particular location that they spawn in. Fortunately, there are some areas where you are statistically bound to find them.
Red Dead Redemption: 10 Tips For Undead Nightmare
Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare DLC packs quite a challenge, so knowing these tips should make the experience easier.
How To Complete Four Horses Challenge In RDR1 Undead Nightmare
If you wish to complete the Four Horses Challenge in Undead Nightmare, you will need to be alert and check out a blue-marked area that appears when you’re exploring the map.
These powerful horses in Red Dead Redemption don’t have a special spawn location. War, Famine, and Pestilence have their own state that they can be found in, but Death can be caught on any part of the map.
Red Dead Redemption’s Four Horses Challenge has five ranks. They’re not difficult, but they can be rather tedious.
- Ranks 1-4: Find each Horse of the Apocalypse.
- Rank 5: Use Death’s powers to kill one Undead of each type.
Remember that you don’t get the Horse Deeds (Blood Pacts) until you complete Rank 5. So, even though these steeds have exceptional health, ensure that they don’t die or that you don’t break in another horse. If you do, you will have to use normal mounts again for the time being.
Locations Of Four Horses Of Apocalypse in RDR1 Undead Nightmare
Where To Find War in RDR1 Undead Nightmare
To find War, you will have to explore New Austin. It spawns in random locations all over this state, but here are the places where you will likely see it:
- Gaptooth Ridge
- MacFarlane’s Ranch
- Armadillo
- Fort Mercer
- Solomon’s Folly
If you ride War in Red Dead Redemption, you can set the Undead on fire when you run through them. They won’t die every time on the first try, though, and you may have to finish them off yourself.
This mythical creature is different from War Horse in RDR1. Although the latter is now the default horse you start the game with, it’s quite special in its own right and comes with excellent speed, stamina, and health.
Where To Find Famine in RDR1 Undead Nightmare
You will need to travel to Mexico in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare to unlock Famine. Check out the following spots and their surrounding areas first, as it’s likely you will easily get it on your first try:
- Escalera
- Chuparosa
- Casa Madruga
- Roca de Madera
- Las Hermanas
Famine doesn’t have the offensive power that the other Horses of the Apocalypse have in Red Dead Redemption. As a silver lining, it is the fastest among others, even though the difference isn’t much in the practical sense.
How to Get the Best Weapon in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare
Here's how to unlock the best weapon in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare which lets players explode hoards of zombies in one shot.
Where To Find Pestilence in RDR1 Undead Nightmare
If you want to tame Pestilence, you will have to explore Tall Trees and the general West Elizabeth area. Like the other horses, its spawn location is pretty random, and you may have to travel a bit before you actually see one. Here are the points of interest that you can look around first:
- Tall Trees
- Marston Homestead
- Beecher’s Hope
- Wreck of the Serendipity
- North of Great Plains and Black Water
Taming Pestilence in RDR1 Undead Nightmare brings a defensive aspect to your arsenal. It has exceptionally high health and is almost impossible to kill, which will help you in the later stages of the game and when clearing towns. Aside from that, it also stuns the Undead on contact. This gives you a few moments of respite to make your escape or take them down first.
Where To Find Death In RDR1 Undead Nightmare
Death is generally the final special steed you will tame in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare. When you’re exploring the map, you may find War, Famine, and Pestilence before it.
One aspect that separates it is that it has no specific spawn location, and you can find it anywhere on the game’s map. Keep a lookout while going through the points of interest mentioned for the other steeds, and in general across the campaign. You probably won't have to struggle for it, which makes it unlike finding the Sasquatch in RDR1 Undead Nightmare.
If you don’t find Death, don’t fret. You will automatically get its Blood Pact after finishing the final mission in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare, "On A Pale Horse."
