Red Dead Redemption 2 features numerous secrets scattered across its massive open world, but few offer as unique a reward as the Otis Miller Treasure. To locate this rare weapon and valuable loot, players must first assemble the two pieces of Torn Treasure Map 1. Finding the first half requires a trek into the wilderness to track down a hermit recluse who will defend her home at all costs.
Locating the First Torn Map Half
The first map piece is located at Manito Glade, a secluded cabin north of Annesburg in the Roanoke Ridge region. Upon approaching the cabin, an hostile hermit woman will attack Arthur with a shotgun and command her dogs to charge. Players must defeat the hermit quickly to safely inspect the premises and secure the first part of the puzzle.
Once the area is clear, step inside the small cabin and search the wooden nightstand beside the bed. Inside the drawer, you will find Torn Treasure Map 1 along with a few minor consumable items. Collecting this piece updates your inventory and prompts the search for the matching half located in another region of the map.
Tracking Down the Second Map Piece
To complete the map, players must travel to the far eastern border of New Austin to a spot named Little Creek Cabin. This remote location is home to another hostile hermit who will shoot on sight if you trespass on his property. Neutralizing the hermit allows you to freely explore the small structure without further interference.
Inside the cabin, look for a small drawer unit resting near the wall. Opening the drawer reveals the second half of the torn map, which automatically combines with the first piece in your satchel. Having the complete map unlocks the final location where Otis Miller buried his legendary revolver and stash.
Finding the Hidden Otis Miller Treasure
With the assembled map in hand, head south to New Austin near the Cholla Springs region, specifically to a small cave located at Rattlesnake Hollow. The entrance is tucked away along the rocky cliffside, requiring players to carefully navigate down the steep incline to reach it. Entering the cave leads to a small chamber containing a decorative chest.
Opening the chest rewards players with Otis Miller's Revolver, a unique golden weapon with high stats and distinct engravings. Alongside the firearm, players will also discover several erotic photographs, which complete this unique treasure hunt collection. Securing this loot provides both a powerful weapon upgrade and a rewarding piece of frontier lore.
Tips for a Successful Treasure Hunt
Before setting out to confront either hermit, ensure Arthur is well-armed and carrying adequate healing items. Both encounters feature immediate gunfire, so keeping a long-range rifle or fast-firing sidearm equipped before approaching the cabins is recommended. Approaching stealthily can also give you an advantage before the hermits spot your presence.
Keep in mind that the final treasure cave in New Austin is accessible without restriction during the epilogue, though brave players can attempt to reach it earlier depending on their campaign progression. Completing this hunt is a fantastic way to explore distant edges of the world while earning an exclusive, collectible firearm.
