Red Dead Redemption 2 All Rock Carving Locations

One of the collectibles that you’re going to need to find if you want to 100% complete Red Dead Redemption 2 and see everything there is to see in the game is the Rock Carving quest.  There are 10 Rock Carving locations scattered around the world of the game and you’ll need to find all of them to cross another item off the list on your way to full completion.

Finding these Rock Carvings is part of the Geology for Beginners quest that you will receive from a Stranger Mission.  The Stranger who you meet is Francis Sinclair and he’ll give you a business card and be willing to give you a reward for the maps to the carvings.  We found Sinclair just northwest of the Ownjila lake in West Elizabeth.

To complete the Geology for Beginners Quest you must meet the following conditions:

• Find 10/10 Rock Faces
• Send all the locations to Francis Sinclair
• Collect your reward

You can find all of the Rock Carving locations using the map below to make things easier.  We’ve listed these Rock Carving locations as you’ll find them from east to west on the map.
