Where to Find Western Toads in Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an enthralling action-adventure game set towards the end of the Wild West era. Hunting has always been one of the main pastimes in this series, with this installment boasting nearly 200 different species of animal. With a huge map to explore and so many different creatures populating it, locating every creature for the Zoologist and Skin Deep achievements can be challenging.

Western Toads are small carnivorous amphibians found near water in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. These toads can be hunted but not skinned. Use a bow with small game arrows for the cleanest kill; small game arrows can be crafted from an arrow, a shotgun shell, and a flight feather. Their meat can be cooked into plain herptile to slightly restore all cores, though it can’t be seasoned. Studying the Western Toad will help players unlock the Zoologist achievement.

Western Toads are native to the Lemoyne Wetlands, located in the southeast corner of the map, and will be found in the most abundance in this state. They can be spotted throughout Bayou Nwa, which takes influence from real-life landmarks, but are especially concentrated around Bluewater Marsh. Remain vigilant if searching for toads here as this area is also home to alligators.

Additional Hot Spots For Western Toads In Red Dead Redemption 2

These toads can also be discovered on the Lower Montana River, which establishes the border between New Austin and West Elizabeth. Western Toads can be found along this river to the north and around Aurora Basin, which will be a place of interest for players looking to catch every fish in the game. These toads will also gather in the area where the Lower Montana River flows into the San Luis River, extending from Quaker’s Cove to Manteca Falls.

Western Toads will be found along the Dakota River in New Hanover as well. They can be spotted as far north as Cumberland Forest and down the length of the river to where it connects with Flat Iron Lake. This toad-hunting location may be the most convenient as the starting city of Valentine, one of the best areas to visit, is just off the Dakota River.

Western Toads are not needed for any satchel upgrades, or other camp upgrades available through Pearson. They are only good for eating, donating, or selling. Western Toads sell for $0.25 when cooked. A perfect carcass will fetch $0.50, a good one sells for $0.30, and a poor quality Western Toad is only worth $0.20.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
