After a long time since its console exclusivity, Red Dead Redemption finally rode into PC. The first-time players will find it a bit underwhelming following the grand riches that were Red Dead Redemption 2. Once players have watched John Marston's tale, they could then enjoy the setting with the game's bounty hunting and mini-games.
Whether it's adventuring around the Wild West in your 100% completion run or even just casually taking an evening stroll, mini-games like the classic Five Finger Fillet to the instantly recognizable Arm Wrestling are absolute must-plays. Master these mini-games with these steps below.
You won't believe how many times everyone has tried to rip off this mini-game. Coming straight out of the Wild West, Five Finger Fillet asks for pinpoint perfection both in timing and precision to make you the sole honored person.
Here are the general rules: Utilize the space between your fingers to track the movement of the sequence of the buttons. The faster you are to complete the minigame successfully and get the reward, the more precise and fast you need to be. Note that there are no do's and don'ts for this game; this is just a simple minigame wherein the person who wins is because he was quicker to act.
A miniature version of arguably the world's most famous card game and one of the oldest included Red Dead Redemption. Everything remains just about the same: two cards are dealt from the dealer, and then the betting starts. With these two in your hand now, you have to make a winning hand using both of them and the five cards on the table. This procedure repeated itself until all five cards were dealt.
Poker isn't really the most friendly game for total beginners, and there is a way to cheat to win, so John Marston isn't that kind of man who would give up that easy. Well, to actually cheat, you need an Elegant Suit, which has a secret third card that John can use every time he feels like it. If you want to cheat, you will have to play two minigames. Otherwise, this dealer will be challenging John to a duel. You lose, everything you bet on goes down the drain.
As long as there has been the Wild West, there have been horseshoes. Though the object of the horseshoe minigame is in and of itself pretty self-explanatory, mastery may take some time. Patience and pinpoint accuracy are required, but be not overwinding your arm. Place your stake between the horseshoes so the shoe will land on top of it in order to give yourself a better shot at winning.
At first, it takes a little practice to find that sweet spot for arm winding power, but you'll get the hang of it. If the meter goes up and down twice, it'll turn green in the center, and that's where you want to let the horseshoe go. Yellow is underpowered, and red is overpowering, so none of those colours is ideal.
Blackjack While both Blackjack and Poker rely on cards, the rules of the two games are rather different. The rules of blackjack are way simpler than those of poker, so even a complete novice may learn the ropes after just one game. To win, your hand total needs to be around 21 without going over, thereby defeating the dealer's hand. This mini-game does not allow cheating, I'm afraid.
The dealer gives all the players a face-up card and one face-down, including himself. Now, with jacks, queens, and kings starting at ten, the aces at eleven, and the numbered cards taking either a value of one or eleven, the two cards you get should add up to twenty-one points. If it is less than 21, you can always take a chance and get another card but that is very risky as if it goes above 21 you will immediately lose.
Another way to win is to stay below 21 when other players go bust. Not hitting when you are on a range of 16-20 will save your chips.
You use your gut feelings in order to win this little game. Easier to learn than poker or blackjack, it takes a great amount of time to master. Once all five dice have been rolled, cups piled on the table, players start. Checking your dice is all you can do; it is time you begin making claims about being the last one standing.
Claims are made by guessing your opponent's dice numbers. When any other player calls your bluff concerning your dice number, you will have to show your dice. They jeopardize losing one dice when they roll the wrong number. The person who remains with the most dice at the end of the game wins in Liar's Dice. The game is really a free-for-all.
Arm Wrestling is the most straightforward minigame in Read Dead Redemption and is as easy as it is interesting. For playing, you will learn your opponent's endurance levels, and upon pressing A, X, or Space on certain platforms/ controllers continuously.
At the start of Arm Wrestling, you will be required to click a specific button to drain your opponent's energy. Click this button constantly until his face changes so you can win this mini-game.
