  1. Ok, I’m guessing that we don’t have the full story about what’s going wrong here. 

    You say that you got a message indicating that you couldn’t pick up the watch because you couldn’t carry any more. You then say that you have the Satchel of the East, so that’s something that’s not right - I’m not sure there’s more than 98 watches in the map. And I’m pretty sure that Lenny’s pocket watch is a unique item so that inventory limit probably wouldn’t be affected anyway. 

    We don’t hear about the camp requests being broken in this way- it’s not a known and common problem. 

    So a couple of questions here. 

    What else is broken in your game?

    Do you have a constant internet connection to your console? I’m not sure how the game works when it’s not connected. 

  2. If your satchel is too full to pick up another watch (the right one), then discard some, or sell them to a fence and go back to the shack to collect it again - it'll still be here.

    Sorry, I missed that detail before I last posted.  I'm just used to having the Satchel of the East and almost never seeing the "you can't pick this up" message.

  3. Earlier in the game, I picked up the Civil War knife, and was given the jawbone knife as the reward for the Dino bone collection.

    However, neither of these weapons are in my inventory or appear in my compendium.

    What the heck happened to these special weapons (and probably others I've forgotten about)? Interestingly, I have the hewing, double headed, and viking axes, but the knives are gone.

  4. I seem to remember that the Hosea request was initiated by examining a book by his tent, not just by watching him read.  Some aspects are triggered by actions, some are limited to time of day, and some are only available in certain chapters (for example, you need to play dominoes with Tilly in Chapter 2).

    The triggers for these are documented on many of the gaming sites - Powerpyx is a good resource and there's a Wiki Article about this here on rdr2.org

  5. It should have been on the desk next to the typewriter.  I've never really had a problem in finding items like this, so I'm wondering whether you've been to this place before and sold the watch to a fence without knowing the true meaning of it - I mean, there's plenty of watches around in the world and it would be easy to assume that this one is just another one to sell on.

    There's more than enough camp requests to get the achievement/trophy, so no need to assume they're all broken when you can't find one item.

  6. Phew, that's Horseman 9 done.  I was afraid that crossing Dewberry creek at Emerald Ranch would count as water, but thankfully it didn't.

    I got a little slowed up by a Skinner ambush - I don't think they expected me to just ignore them and ride on through.

  7. Interesting find.  I wonder whether this is some kind of glitch.  What time of night is this, I'll take a ride over there and see if I see the same thing.

    Sometime later:  Yes, this is confirmed.  It looks as though there's a glowing light within the schoolhouse that turns off when you approach.  If you back up, it goes away again.  I thought this might just be the moonlight reflecting off something, but it's not.

    I captured this and stuck it on YouTube.  Hope this shows what you saw well enough.

     

  8. Yes, stand on the ice toward the south end of the lake, looking toward the northeast shore and use the special lake lure as the bait.

    If you stand in the right place and use the right bait, then you almost always get the legendary fish on your first cast (well, that's how it happened for me).

    If in doubt, searching on YouTube will show you exactly where to stand.

  9. Yes, that’s the guide I’m using. I did wait a few in game days for the gator eggs, also tried a save/exit/load and they wouldn’t come back. I had the same thing with golden currants - I camped out for days on end waiting for them to sprout again. They only reappeared in the Epilogue. 

    Still it’s a good thing there’s more than enough in the game.
