Elephant Puppet hunts the legendary wolf
3You can find the Legendary Wolf around Cotorra Springs, in the Grizzlies East to the north of the Cumberland Forest region of New Hanover.
To kill a Legendary Animal in Red Dead 2 you must hunt it carefully -- Legendary Animals do not just appear, you must hunt/track them to stand a chance of killing them. Here are the full steps for how to hunt Legendary Animals in RDR2 and what to do if they don't appear -- or get away.
Equip your most powerful weapons and ammo. A Shotgun with Slug Ammo purchased from a Fence is a great hunting accessory. You cannot damage Legendary Animal pelts so bring strong weapons and leave your bow behind.
Ride to the area where the Legendary Animal should appear based on the map below.
A black box should pop up on the upper left corner of the screen indicating you've entered a Legendary Animal's territory.
Get off of your horse and move in slow, spiralling circles to until a white question mark (?) appears on your map. This is the start of the hunting sequence.
If you do not see the black box pop up or the white ?, leave the area and camp nearby. Return and the black box should appear and the animal should spawn. Note that some Legendary Animals will not appear until you've completed Master Hunter Challenges (One example of this is the Legendary Panther, see below).
At the white ?, press the button indicated to investigate the droppings, fur, or damage the animal left. This reveals a path. Click the RIGHT STICK and LEFT STICK at the same time to enter Eagle Eye mode and see the path (RS/LS).
Follow the path and, at the end of it (usually the path runs in a straight line from where you started, and it always ends within the white circle on the map) enter Eagle Eye again.
Investigate the second of three animal evidence markers.
Repeat the above steps to reveal a third evidence marker. At this point, listen for the animal and crouch.
Move slowly towards the animal using the final path illuminated by your Eagle Eye.
Replenish Dead Eye as needed, and target the animal's head with your powerful weapon.
Again, you cannot damage the pelt of a Legendary Animal so fire as many shots as you can. Animals like the Legendary Buck will run after taking damage, so you'll need to shoot quickly, and with powerful ammo.
Approach the Legendary Animal and skin it.
If you let the animal get away, leave the area (go back to Camp) and sleep 72 hours.
