Open-World Games With The Best Side Quests Ranked

East of the Aberdeen Pig Farm, Arthur can find the white legendary boar. This boar will need a powerful weapon to be taken down and players are advised to sneak up on the beast as it will charge and gore Arthur if it is given the chance. This pig will quickly run off after the first shot and will likely have to be chased down, taking several shots to be killed even with better equipment.

Spotted Buck - West Eliza


One could argue that Colter was at one time a busy town with folks galore, but by the time the Van Der Linde gang finds it in the snowy mountains, it's nothing more than a sparse village. The gang doesn't spend a whole lot of time here, but it is the first home Sadie Adler knows after her entire life is taken from


Once again players should keep in mind that gang hideouts don't always spawn at these exact locations but in the general area. If it doesn't appear in the exact spot, they should ride around for a few minutes to see if it pops up somewhere else. If not just move onto the next one on the l


Outside of the brief stint at Colter, this is the first major town that feels the presence of the Van Der Linde Gang. Not only is this the location of the first major event that spurs the gang to move into hiding, but it also showcases the most jovial mission in the game missions where players search for Lenny as a very drunk Arthur Mor


Elden Ring doesn't have side quests in the traditional way that an open-world RPG might. In fact, there's no journal, no quest log, and no way to track what exactly the player has to do at any given time. From the start of Elden Ring players are told to seek the eponymous Elden Ring so that they might become Elden L


Another thing that changes depending on a player's honor is the dialogue in certain missions. An Arthur with high honor is noticeably warmer than the low honor version. Even the way others talk about the Outlaw changes depending on how noble he's b

John Marston is many things to many different people, including himself. To some, he was a vicious outlaw; to others, a desperate family man who would do anything to return to those he loved. To me, he was and will always be an honorable man in a dishonorable wo

Now, I am not saying that John Marston would be considered honorable in our world, though some of the world's most celebrated heroes have blood on their hands, merely that he is an honorable man in the world in which he lives. At least he was in my playthrough. Although anything he may have done while wearing a bandanna surely has no impact on his honor, ri


Just south of Mattock Pond players can find the legendary fox. Much like the coyote, the fox requires a stealthy approach as it is quickly and easily spooked. Quick and clean shots while sneaking through the bushes will give Arthur the best opportunity to down this majestic creature.

Legendary Bull Gator - Lem


The trick here is to hop from cover to cover and try not to stay out in the open for long. Players who leave themselves vulnerable will wind up getting overwhelmed by the sheer amount of enemies. It's probably a good idea to use a repeater or a couple of pistols if engaging the enemies up close. Players can also shoot from a distance with a rifle to pick off some a fair amount of enemies before coming in close to finish off the straggl

Fort Mercer- Fans of the first Red Dead Redemption will probably remember this as the fort that Bill Williamson holes up in at the beginning of the game. The hideout doesn't actually appear inside the fort but will be directly in between Fort Mercer and Benedict P


It’s not really an open-world game if it doesn’t have a whole lot to do in said open-world aside from the main storyline. Games falling under this category have become commonplace, with titles like The Witcher, Assassin’s Creed , Grand Theft Auto, and others pushing their popularity furt


Not only does this detail take a second playthrough to spot, but an eagle eye is required too. In chapter one, when the gang is heading to do the first train robbery , it's possible to catch a glimpse of Micah's hideout from the end of the g


It's evident the town is on a decline and in the 8 short years between the end of Red Dead Redemption 2 and the beginning of Red Dead Redemption it all but disappears. Do yourself a favor and explore what it was like before it completely collap


John, and again we the player, must now make life in the world we so desperately fought for. Instead of firing a Gatling gun to take out a gang stronghold or lending a helping hand to a fledgling rebellion, John is striving to be the man he said he wanted to be. He's teaching his son to hunt, herding cattle, and making deliveries. In terms of gameplay, it's boring, but in service of the narrative, it is exquisitely d


The legendary white bison is located just north of Lake Isabella between the lake and its two rivers, Spider Gorge and Deadboot Creek, that lead down into it. This frozen waterway is a formidable area for an under-suited Arthur, so players should make sure to dress for the weather. The white bison is best to be snuck up on as he isn't the friendliest creature on sight. The bison can charge the player or run if not killed quickly, dragging this fight into a much more dangerous one.

White Moose - Amba
