"With hell following close behind, Death carries with him a violent wake that rattles through the skulls of the undead."

Rockstar's description


Death (Horse) is a mythical horse found in the Undead Nightmare DLC pack for Red Dead Redemption.

Characteristics

Death is one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse, along with War, Famine, and Pestilence. Death carries a violent wake with him, rattling the skulls of the undead, capable of instantly killing any that it collides with by causing their heads to explode. There is a ghostly trail of wind following Death. Death is almost invincible and cannot be killed from conventional damage, other than a fall of great height, a shot to the head, drowning, shot several times by a Gatling gun which makes Death randomly die later on, or using an explosive rifle causing him to explode into pieces. Horse pills negate Death's unlimited stamina.

Locations

Before finishing the Undead Nightmare storyline, Death can be found in the wild. Death's location is entirely random, but is similarly located to the general areas that the other three Horses of the Apocalypse can be found. When near, a notice will come up saying "a mythical creature has appeared in the area". Death will only randomly appear after taming the other three Horses of the Apocalypse prior.

New Austin (West to East)


Nuevo Paraíso (West to East)


West Elizabeth (West to East)

Upon completing the Undead Nightmare storyline, the player will receive Death.

Trivia

  • Death's appearance in-game is different than the Biblical version; Death in-game has striking bright blue eyes, a dark brown colored front and a lighter off white hindquarters and mane, while the Biblical Death was a completely grayish to yellowish-green; sickly colors similar to that of a corpse.
  • Death's appearance looks like a cross between the Hungarian Half-bred and the War Horse with some minor variations.
  • Death's ability to explode heads does not apply to harmless animals.
  • The player must get Death and kill the Chupacabra (Undead Hunter Challenge - Rank 5) in order to find the Unicorn and complete the Undead Hunter challenge.
  • For rank five of the Four Horses of The Apocalypse challenge, charge into Jorge's Gap while riding Death. However, it has been noted that this may sometimes cause the game to become unstable while killing so many undead so fast.
  • Upon receiving or breaking Death, you will receive his Blood Pact, which acts like a horse deed.
    • It is possible to obtain two Death Blood Pacts. Simply complete the "Four Horses of the Apocalypse" challenge before you complete "On a Pale Horse".
  • There is a glitch that when you feed it horse pills after about three minutes it will begin to lose stamina like a normal horse.
  • Killing undead with Death will count towards pistol kills, as you can get the achievement In a Hail of Bullets with Death.
  • It is recommended to not use Death for Undead Hunter Rank 4 as if you move into the animals, they will die and won't count as a Torch kill.
  • If you are going slow enough while ramming into a zombie with Death, you will only knock over the zombie and not kill it.
