Cochinay is a criminal hideout in Red Dead Redemption and a natural formation in Red Dead Redemption 2 in the Tall Trees region of the West Elizabeth territory.

It is located high north of the Tall Trees mountains. It is the furthest point north that the player can reach and has the highest altitude in of all of Red Dead Redemption's settlements.

Cochinay is accessible by following the main trail in Tall Trees north from Manzanita Post. The trail will lead north before turning east at the cliffs, then looping south to a river and north again. At the top of the switchback up the mountainside, the player arrives at Cochinay's front gate.

Cochinay itself is divided into three areas. The first area is directly beyond the front gate; it is a narrow area between two cliffs, with some trees on the right side and several boulders scattered around the central clearing. Past this area is a second gate, which leads to a camp consisting of several tents (three containing money chests), and a pen with pigs, goats, and several chickens roaming around by the camp. Then, there is the third and final gate, which is flanked by defensive elevated platforms and towers.

The third area of Cochinay is similar to the interior of a fortress, with some tents on the ground (two containing money chests) and tall log buildings against the walls. The building across from the gate is topped by a maxim machine gun. Inside one of the buildings, there is an entrance to a tunnel that runs through the mountain, passing two rooms containing chests, and opens onto a sheer face of the cliff. This opening provides a vantage point from which the player can see for miles, all the way to Flat Iron Lake.

Falling off the cliff in multiplayer may sometimes spawn the player on top of another cliff overlooking the second campground, which proves very useful for sniping. Also you may spawn below the cliff on the ground. At this spawn point is an old mining track and up one end is a boarded up mining cave and at the other an old mining facility which has not much around it. There is also a cave leading underneath Nekoti Rock filled with TNT but it does end with a dead end. This area can be accessed by using the "Get on Top of Nekoti Rock" exploit, and carefully moving down the cliffs.

    In RDR2 Arthur says to Charles that Dutch would never hide in a cave because it goes everything he stands for. Beaver Hollow and Cochinay shows how far he's fallen.

    35:20 is where Jack realizes that his time is passed. Just like Dutch did three years earlier.

    I like the haunting music from the Blackwater area in this game better than RDR2s.
  • Wonder what happened to the road going up to owanjila (in-game?). Also, I believe that Dutch and his gang blew up the owanjila dam, hence why the upper Montana is so high
  • Always love and always will love that first game. So many memories and nostalgic feelings

    1:05 Snow pops in. I wish they didn't try to hide the fact that there's snow and just kept the textures the same no matter how far you are. Also Tall Trees is so beautiful

  • @mrgespin4868

  • @adriiiii__6059
    Hey can you see the guide sign of Great Plains? That thing that says, for example, Blackwater, and it shows the right, go and see that sign to see if you can see Strawberry
  • I played this games just now and finished it (spoilers don't read on if you don't want to be spoiled) after John kills his final men and and raided the place. How come when I went back with Jack when his father is dead and years later he's grown up HOW IS THERE LIVE STOCK STILL THERE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO HUMAN THERE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS!
