Hunt down the notorious Skinner Brothers outlaw Elias Green in Red Dead Redemption 2! With his signature bearskin hat and a history of brutal crimes, this bounty mission takes you deep into the perilous Tall Trees region. Will you bring him back alive for justice—or dead for vengeance? The choice is yours, but either way, the $90 reward awaits in Blackwater.
This task becomes available only after you have completed the campaign’s epilogue, namely after completing the main task of the epilogue entitled Gainful Employment (the main character helps Sadie to catch one of the fugitives). Finishing the main mission unlocks the next, this time optional, bounty hunting contracts.
The starting point of this contract is a detention in the town of Blackwater. Pull off the poster from the bulletin board and listen to the sheriff’s comment, who will tell you more about the task and the approximate hiding place of Elias Green and his band.
Go to the Tall Trees location west of Blackwater. You must investigate the marked area in the forest that is present on the map. Your task is to find the destroyed camp site. Use Eagle Eye to find traces. You have to follow them.
Traces will lead you to the bandit camp. You’ll recognize Elias Green by his bearskin hat. If you don’t mind killing him, attack him right away. Otherwise, ignore him and only eliminate other bandits who accompany him.
If you want to capture Elias Green alive, you have to get close to him and avoid his attacks with the use of your bow (use your horse or reach other trees). It is best to shoot him in his leg and then quickly use a lasso to catch him and tie him up.
