You certainly won’t find any legendary specimens to take up the mantle as the goat of all goats, but these well-groomed farm animals are good for pristine hides and gristly mutton for roasting. Read on to pinpoint the best Alpine Goat locations in Red Dead Online if you're of a mind for some easy-breezy poaching.
Hunting Tips
-
For starters, you’re not so much hunting Alpine Goats as you are poaching them. Goats are domesticated animals in Red Dead, meaning you'll lose honor for hunting them. So keep the repercussions in mind, especially if you're hunting during the day.
- Given the penalties for hunting these domesticated creatures, you'll want to be tactful about your poaching, hunting majorly at night and with stealthier weapons.
-
For clean kills, use Repeater guns, bows, and knives in order not to damage the hide.
- Bow and arrows provide the additional benefit of allowing you to keep a lower profile while hunting, which is essential when picking off these domesticated creatures.
- Remember, you can reset spawns by "Joining a New Session."
Locations
Alpine Goats largely inhabit ranches and farmsteads across New Hanover, but you can find some throughout eastern Lemoyne as well as New Austin.
New Austin
- Starting in the southernmost state, you can poach two goats from Rathskeller Fork, which lies in the northernmost stretches of Gaptooth Ridge.
- Heading due southwest along New Austin’s northern border, another goat is roaming out back of the cabin at Silent Stead.
Lemoyne
- Over in Lemoyne, the land west of Lagras lake may hold a couple of wandering goats.
- Directly south from Lagras is Lakay, where goats have been spotted grazing on the land to the southeast.
New Hanover
- Heading from west to east in New Hanover, Downes Ranch sits in the Big Valley region between a large bend in the Dakota river, southwest of Valentine, between Cumberland Falls and Caliban's Seat.
- Painted Sky is positioned just across the river sitting amidst the opposite river bend.
- Heading into the Heartlands Larned Sod is a bunker-like farmstead due east of Emerald Ranch, where you should find at least one goat.
- Skipping over to their neighbors, you can poach two more goats from the stables at Emerald Ranch.
- Osman Grove sits halfway between Emerald Station and the Kamasa River, where you’ll find a stray goat roaming near the cabin.
- As you head out of the Heartlands and into the Roanoke Ridge region, Butcher Creek is a tragically ironic homestead of the unlucky goat spawn.
- Finally, as you reach the banks of the Lannahechi River, you’ll find goats residing at the Van Horn Trading Post.
