CREDITSIMPORTANT: I am NOT the creator of this save.
The original save was uploaded by Ziyad from PlayerSquared.
Full credit for the original save goes to Ziyad.I tested his save on CUSA08519 (EU) and found the additional missions required to successfully trigger the Western Stranger trophy on my account.
I'm sharing my results here because simply completing the mission from the original instructions did not unlock the trophy for me.
HOW TO RESIGN THE SAVEBefore using the save, you need to resign it to your own PSN account.
If you don't have Save Wizard, you can use:
GARLIC SAVESBasic process:
Download the save above.
Resign the save to your own PSN account.
Export/download the resigned save.
Transfer it to your console.
Launch the PS4 version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Load the resigned save.
IMPORTANT:Always make a backup of your original save data before importing or replacing anything.
WESTERN STRANGER – TROPHY GUIDE After loading the save, you should be around:
The Artist's Way – III
Total Completion: ~77.5%
Total Completion: ~77.5%
Now follow the steps below.
STEP 1 — THE ARTIST'S WAYContinue the mission and complete:
The Artist's Way – IV
The trophy did NOT unlock for me here.If the same happens to you, don't delete the save and don't assume it is broken.
Continue to Step 2.
STEP 2 — OH, BROTHERTravel to Valentine and complete:
Oh, Brother – II
After completing Part II, travel to:
Cumberland Falls
and complete:
Oh, Brother – III
This will finish the Oh, Brother Stranger mission strand.
The trophy still did NOT unlock for me.That's OK — continue to Step 3.
STEP 3 — THE NOBLEST OF MEN, AND A WOMANReturn to Valentine and start:
The Noblest of Men, and a Woman
The mission starts at the saloon in Valentine.
After speaking with Theodore Levin, you will receive photographs of four legendary gunslingers.
IMPORTANT:Make sure you inspect/read the photographs to reveal their locations.
You now need to deal with all four gunslingers:
Emmet GrangerNear Flatneck Station
Billy MidnightStart at Rhodes Train Station
Black BelleBluewater Marsh
Flaco HernándezCairn Lake
After completing all four encounters, continue the quest until you finish the entire The Noblest of Men, and a Woman Stranger mission strand.
TROPHY UNLOCKED! This is where WESTERN STRANGER unlocked for me.
QUICK WALKTHROUGHFor anyone who just wants the required order:
The Artist's Way – IV
Oh, Brother – II
Oh, Brother – III
The Noblest of Men, and a Woman
Complete the full mission strand
WESTERN STRANGER
IMPORTANT NOTESIf Western Stranger doesn't unlock after completing The Artist's Way – IV, don't immediately assume that the save doesn't work.
That is exactly what happened to me.
I continued using the same save and completed:
The Artist's Way
↓
Oh, Brother
↓
The Noblest of Men, and a Woman

Oh, Brother
↓
The Noblest of Men, and a Woman
The trophy successfully unlocked for me after completing the final Stranger mission strand.
I'm documenting the exact method that worked on my account.
Because trophy progress can depend on the progress already stored in the save, I cannot guarantee that every account will trigger the trophy at exactly the same moment.

I only tested the save and documented the additional mission sequence that successfully triggered the trophy on my account.
Huge thanks to Ziyad for sharing the original save with the community!
Hopefully this guide saves someone else the trouble of figuring out why the trophy doesn't immediately unlock.
Enjoy your trophy!
