Spoilers: Whilst I will try to keep these to a minimum, inevitably talking about completion to 100% is going to involve some, so proceed at your own risk if you do not know how the story ends. It will not focus on tasks which are not required for this, although I will include recommendations for side activities that are likely to make the main quest so much easier.Įvery video guide has been recorded and produced by me, although I have added credits in the acknowledgements section to others where they have provided inspiration or suggested modifications. Having now reached 100% on four separate occasions myself, I expect this should save a minimum of 10 hours off your completion time - quite possibly more - and mostly you'll find that this saving is due to reduced repetition and re-tries, thereby reducing frustration levels and allowing you to enjoy the experience more thoroughly. Every video has time stamps in it, so you can click and jump to the part where each objective is completed. In addition, the linked videos also show you how to get gold in every single mission, so this also covers off the "Gold Rush" Achievement/Trophy. Make no mistake, recent R* games from GTA IV, EFLC, RDR (the predecessor) and GTA V are a walk in the park to reach 100% compared to this one.

In addition, the guide identifies missions where you can also complete challenges much more easily than in free roam.

This is done combined collectables, challenges and other tasks all when you are in the right location, which reduces the amount of times you have to revisit the same spot.

An unplanned approach to getting the "Best in the West" Achievement/Trophy is likely to take well over 100 hours, so there are significant time savings from optimising the order you approach each requirement in, as outlined in the embedded video above. The key difference between this an many other guides on the internet is that it outlines the optimal order to complete every task required. The purpose of this guide is to set out a strategy to achieve 100% completion as efficiently as possible, with a linked video guide for every single task required for you to reach the goal (over 450 separate entries).
