Red Dead Online’s Naturalist role has taken a turn for the trippy, as a new update has introduced a way for players to transform into deer. For a game largely dedicated to realism, this certainly bucks the trend.
The new update, which rolled out on 8th September, allows players to have an “out-of-body” experience if they follow all the steps in Harriet’s Buck Vitalism Studies Pamphlet. Along with the animagus moment, the mission rewards you with a free treasure map once complete – although you’ll need to be at least a Rank 5 Naturalist to start the whole process.
To actually transform into a deer, you’ll need to collect five Harrietum Officinalis plants before finding some deer tracks. Interacting with these will start the transformatio, but the effect is temporary and only lasts five minutes.
