One such thing which comes in handy is and is of immense use in Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass, and if you are unaware of where to find it, this article is dedicated to you.
What is Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass?
A Red Dead Redemption 2 Old brass compass made up of Brass is a handy tool that can only be received once you have mailed all the ten rock carving locations to the post office. The real use is that it can be traded for Raven Claw Talisman, which is crafted by a Fence upon receiving. We need to provide this Talisman for Arthur to unlock further missions.
You can get Old Brass Compass by completing a secret mission in chapter 2. After completing the delivery of all carvings from the “Geology for Beginners” mission to the post office, you’ll get an invitation to Francis Sinclair’s house in the same post office mail (Can also be seen in players status menu). He is located near West Elizabeth between the northwest Strawberry and northeast of Owanjila Dam.
Where can we get Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass?
Warning: Spoilers ahead. Don’t worry if you are so in playing all by yourself then also this article won’t ruin your experience. We would only be telling you some of the most vulnerable positions for the Compass to be and the way to reach there, along with a few stranger’s names to aid your search.
The Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass comes to you as a reward. One can earn from completing a very particular stranger’s mission. The mission can be taken a right in chapter 2 when you reach the Horseshoe Overlook in the story. You have to look for a stranger named Francis Sinclair, who can be found in his home in West Elizabeth. It’s situated Northwest of Strawberry and Northeast of the Owanjila Dam.
After finishing off your conversation, start the Geology for Beginners mission. This pursuit will assign you to go out and to look out for ten rock carvings. After spotting them, you have to once again send the delivery to the post office. Pro-tip to avoid time and energy, you could first spot all ten rock carving coordinates at a time and then deliver all to the post office in one go.
First Rock Carving Location
The first rock can be directly found west of the strawberry lake. More precisely, on the western side of Owanjila lake.
Second Rock Carving Location
Make your way to the North of Strawberry near the southeast area of Mount Shann. Pay close attention to the direction where the T of the word West Elizabeth lies. Here you can find Francis Sinclair’s cabin and get the Carving.
Third Rock Carving Location
Go towards Northwest of Flatneck Station in New Hanover. There you would notice an in-between of Dakota river and station a small cliff south facing. That’s the place to look for a third rock carving location.
Fourth Rock Carving Location
Keep on going further North now, change your direction, and now head slightly towards Southwest near Mount Hagen. Aim for where the letter A lies in Ambarino. Keep up to the trail, and you will find the fourth location.
Fifth Rock Carving Location
Window Rock and Granite pass are located in between south of Ambarino. Reach the top of the river and look towards the left side of the rocks.
The craving is exactly located at the narrow edge of a cliff that submerges into the river.
Sixth Rock Carving Location
You have to start right from the summit of the mountain west of Bacchus station and search for a small rock path leading to the cliff’s side (near Fort Wallace). That’s where you would find your sixth rock carving location. This location lies west of the Bacchus Station and below the river.
Seventh Rock Carving Location
To find the seventh rock carving location, head towards the south of Moonstone Pond. Closely introspect for Fish carving.
Eighth Rock Carving Location
Eight rock carving is located at just a short distance from the Elysian pool. That’s curved underneath the overhang of a small cliff.
Ninth Rock Carving Location
The ninth one’s peculiarity is that this can be spotted even without getting off from the road. Head north from ANNESBURG, just next to Deer Cottage, you could find your Ninth Rock Carving.
Tenth Rock Carving Location
The last carving is situated across the Dakota River. South of Window Rock and Northwest to the C in Cumberland Forest.
How to use Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass?
After all that hectic work, the game might leave you wondering what one can do with the Red Dead Redemption 2 Old Brass Compass. To answer your question, it’s a crafting tool from which you are supposed to make a Raven Claw Talisman for Arthur. But the twist is it doesn’t come for free. Take Compass to the Fence and spend 29$ before you could craft out a talisman from it. Having talisman in inventory means a 20% reduction in weapon degradation. You can open your Player inventory and look up its statistics.

Final Words
Once you have finished finding all the carvings’ coordinates, you are supposed to make one last final trip to the post office to deliver all the coordinates. After all that hard work, you need to sleep or do anything else for a full one day before you can collect your mail in return. Once you pass your day, ideally, you’ll receive a notification to pick up some of the mail from the post office, including an invitation from Francis Sinclair.
Go back to the point where you picked up the quest at the beginning of the game. A short recap scene will start playing and will end, leaving you without the Compass. You need to enter the house right in front of you and grab your Compass kept on the table, or you will leave it entirely.
