Red Dead Online Daily Challenges
Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 8 May
Here are today’s Red Dead Online daily challenges and role challenges, along with quick guides for the individual challenges and a general guide to help you get today’s challenges done quickly.
Daily Walkthrough
Starting in New Hanover today folks!
We can start in Valentine for the challenges today. We can visit the stables, then head out into the Heartlands to pick ther herbs. Let’s get into it…
Stables
Starting in Valentine, ride to the stables and head inside. Once inside, use the menu and navigate to change the appearance of one of your horses. I tend to just change the mane or tail colour on one of the horses I don’t use very often. If either of these is already set as wild, then changing the colour is free.
Parasol Mushrooms
Head west into The Heartlands. Particularly to where the letter ‘H’ at the beginning of the word Heartlands is on the map. There are a lot of Parasol Mushrooms here. There are a couple of patches just below the ‘H’ and plenty more nearby. You should easily be able to find the five needed for the Challenge.
Oregano
Continue east to Emerald Station. Open your map and look at where the words Emerald Station are on the map. There is a patch of oregano just below the first letter ‘T’ in the word Station. There is another patch just past the letter ‘N’ at the end of the word Station, and then turning north there is another patch just past the letter ‘D’ at the end of the word Emerald. There should be more than enough plants here to pick the five needed to complete the challenge.
The Boy
The Boy is one of the strangers. He can usually be found at Flatneck station but is also sometimes in Valentine at the camp near the butcher. Open your map and look for his icon. Travel to him, speak with him then accept and complete one of the missions he has available.
Skunks
Head South into Scarlett Meadows in Lemoyne to hunt for skunks. The area around the battlefield is a great place to hunt for them. They are nocturnal so you will have to wait for nightfall before you will spot any. After sunset though, looking around the trenches or where the words Bolger Glade are on the map should be fruitful. Shoot and skin two of them as and when you find them.
Finishing Off
Clean your weapons with Gun Oil. Then all that’s left is to lasso some enemies. The easiest way that I have found to complete this challenge is to pick on lone travellers outside of the towns and cities. If you see one riding alone then lasso that person off their horse. This will most often antagonise them although the odd person will just run away. Release them then wait for them to turn red on your minimap. Now they are classed as an enemy and you can lasso them again. Find four more victims and do the same to them to complete the challenge. That’ll do it for today…
Good Luck out there!
Quick Guides
1 HORSE APPEARANCE UPDATED – Head to a stables and change the appearance of your horse by changing the tail or main for example
5 NON-PLAYER ENEMIES LASSOED FROM HORSEBACK – Lasso NPCs whilst sat on your horse. I find this easiest to do during resupply missions or camp defences. Gold Health Core’s help as you get shot a lot. The Lawmen in Saint Denis count too.
5 OREGANO PICKED – Oregano is a common herb all over the map. A good spot to get all 5 is along the north bank of the Dakota River just round the bend from Caliban’s seat.
5 PARASOL MUSHROOM PICKED – Parasol Mushrooms can be found all over. My go to spot is between Valentine and Caliban’s seat. New Austin is a good state for them too if you’re down that way, just keep an eye out. The pig pen at Flatneck Station also has them.
2 STRIPED SKUNKS SKINNED – Skunks are common at night. Tall Trees, Bolger Glade and Cumberland Forest are all good spots to check. Find em, kill em and skin em for that gold!
1 THE BOY MISSIONS COMPLETED – The Boy is one of the strangers. He can be found at Flatneck Station. Ride up to him, accept and complete the mission he gives you.
3 WEAPONS CLEANED WITH GUN OIL – Gun oil can be purchased in shops or looted from various places and NPCs. Highlight a dirty weapon in the weapon wheel and click the right thumbstick in. Select clean weapon.

What are Daily Challenges in Red Dead Online?
Red Dead Online Daily Challenges are a set of tasks that change every day at 6am UTC. Challenges include things like killing three players with a rifle in showdowns or skinning an alligator. There are 7 general challenges and up to 3 Role specific challenges per Role. The payout for completing these challenges is 0.1 gold per challenge. There is also a bonus of 0.3 gold for completing all of the general challenges and 0.3 for completing 9 of the role challenges. The role challenges are capped at 9, even though there are potentially 15 available challenges. The best thing about daily challenges is you can earn a multiplier by completing at least one challenge a day. Building a streak will reward you with up to a 2.5x multiplier. So for completing all challenges you can earn a staggering 5.5 gold a day!.
- 0-7 Days (no multiplier): 0.1 gold per challenge, 2.2 bars max
- 8-14 Days (x1.5 multiplier: 0.15 gold per challenge, 3.3 gold max
- 15-21 Days (x2.0 multiplier): 0.20 gold per challenge, 4.4 gold max
- 22-28 Days (x2.5 multiplier) 0.25 gold per challenge, 5.5 gold max
As you can see, this is an excellent way to earn gold, especially if you can dedicate a month to play every day. If you were to max out all 7 regular challenges every day for a month you would have 49 gold bars form just challenges alone. That’s enough to buy all three Frontier Pursuits Roles. Or put another way, almost $20 of real world money.
