How to unlock the Mad Marston: The Trail Warrior achievement in Red Dead Redemption - Definitive Guide
Four Horses of the Apocalypse:
Pestilence is often found in Tall Trees, I found him where you finish Birth of the Conservation Movement mission. War is located somewhere between Gaptooth Breach and Armadillo, I found him just south of Twin Peaks. Famine is in mexico around Torquemada or Chuparosa or Perdido, and you get Death for completing the dlc story. After you complete this challenge you will earn the Bloodpacts (deeds) for all four horses.
Undead Hunter:
For the kill 2 Bears, 3 cougars, and 5 wolves with the torch simply get on Pestilence or Death and swing the torch around with RT. You can find all of these animals in Tall Trees. Cougars and wolves can also be found just east of Torquemada as Guugley was kind enough to point out.
Undead Sharpshooter:
For Rank 3 equip a henry repeater and then open you inventory and equip Phosphorus bullets and get 5 head shots in one dead-eye meter. I did this at Jorge's Gap in U.S.A. To get phosphorus bullets you have to select them from your kit. But first you need to collect 5 desert sage and 5 violet snowdrops and give them to Nigel West Dickens during the first task of his mission A Cure for Most of What Ails You.
For Rank 4 You need to kill one of very kind of undead in one dead-eye meter. They are the Big Bruiser types (chubbies) Retchers which are greenish, Hunters or Bolters, which are the very skinny undead that crawl on all fours and the Normal undead. At least two of each will spawn at El Presidio
For Rank 5 Since you are already at El Presidio just stay far enough away that the undead won't rush you and snipe as many heads as you can within 8 seconds. You only need 5, not too hard. *JCKellner had a clever way to do this one: Run up to the undead with a sniper rifle and execute them by simply tapping RT when you are close enough. You will do an execution which is a guaranteed headshot.* Thanks for the info!
Treasure Hunter:
To find a map visit the cabin in Aurora's Basin or stop at any camp site with a chest. Be sure to kill the guy there or he will shoot at you for stealing his shit. I'll leave a link to a great video on the locations of treasure.

View the video below for the locations of each treasure:
MISSABLE and GLITCHED
Warning: Famine is known to only spawn once but failing to break him during your first encounter, will also result in the Unicorn and Chupacabra not spawning. If this happens, then you will be locked out of this trophy for your current playthrough and have to start a new game from scratch.
All of the Undead Nightmare Challenges can tracked in the Journal in the Main Menu. There are 4 Challenges which each have 5 Ranks that you must complete to gain Legendary status.
Undead Hunter:
Undead Hunter Rank 1
Kill 100 Fresh Undead & 25 Bolters
This will come naturally by playing through the main story. Bolters are the fast crawling zombies that move on all fours and the Fresh Undead are just your ordinary zombie that can be found anywhere in the game.
Undead Hunter Rank 2
Kill 25 more Bruisers & 15 more Retchers
Retchers and Bruisers are most commonly found in graveyards but can also be found whilst cleansing towns also. Bruisers are the big zombies that charge at you and knock you down but Retchers will glow green and vomit green bile at you.
Undead Hunter Rank 3
Use a single explosion of a Retcher to kill 2 other undead.
GLITCHED
There have been reports of the Retcher explosion kill not registering but to work around this issue, close the game via the button and restart the game from your auto-save.
This challenge should unlock by progressing through the game but one of the best ways to get it is whilst cleansing a town. Make sure you have a Retcher spawned and wait until he has other zombies near him before taking him down. If done correctly, he should blow up and take at least 2 other zombies with him.
Undead Hunter Rank 4
Kill 2 undead bears, 5 undead wolves and 3 undead Cougars
Cougars, bears and wolves can be found in Tall Trees, the wolves are black instead of your usual white. Get a horse, preferably the Pestilence as its more or less immortal and circle the animals with the torch. Be aware of zombies and other animals as they will try to get you off your horse and kill you.
Undead Hunter Rank 5
Find and Kill a Chupacabra.
MISSABLE and GLITCHED
Please see Chupathingy for more details as this can be missable and glitched.
Undead Sharpshooter:
Undead Sharpshooter Rank 1
Kill 5 Undead in 10 seconds using a gun.
You will get this by just playing through the story but use Deadeye in conjunction with the Cattleman Revolver if you're struggling.
Undead Sharpshooter Rank 2
Headshot 10 undead in a row.
You need to headshot 10 zombies in a row, missing will reset the counter. Make sure to use Casual Aiming to make this easier and be aware of the Retchers as they will explode killing any zombies nearby thus resetting your counter. You can use Deadeye if needed.
Undead Sharpshooter Rank 3
Kill 5 flaming undead in 1 dead eye Meter.
Use Undead Bait to lure zombies, you need at least 5 grouped together.
throw a Fire Bottle at them to set them alight, and enter dead eye whilst holding a stick of Dynamite and throw it in the middle of the group.
You can also use War (one of the four horses of the Apocalypse) to set the undead ablaze, then enter Deadeye to pick off 5 zombies that are on fire. If you're struggling with this, there a a load of zombies at Jorge's Gap, run through them with the war horse and then enter Deadeye to pick them off.
Undead Sharpshooter Rank 4
Kill one of each of the 4 undead types in 1D Deadeye meter.
You need to kill the following 4 Undead types:
- Regular
- Retcher
- Bruiser
- Bolter
The best place for all 4 types to spawn close together is El Presidio, pick out the 4 different types of zombies and enter Deadeye.
Undead Sharpshooter Rank 5
Get 5 undead sniper kills in 8 seconds (can't use dead eye).
The best place to get this challenge is the front gate of El Presidio as there is an endless spawn of zombies and as the description says, you must use a sniper rifle and you cannot use Deadeye to kill 5 zombies in 8 seconds. The following method works best:
1: Find a pack of zombies.
2: Throw some Undead Bait to lure them to a spot of your choosing.
3: Now equip your sniper rifle and use () to execute 5 zombies.
Four Horses of the Apocalypse:
Four Horses of the Apocalypse, Ranks 1-4
Find the four Horses of the apocalypse.
You need to find and tame each of the following horses:
War ~ Black horse that has flames surrounding it, can be found near New Austin, Armadillo and Fort Mercer.
Famine (GLITCHED) ~ Can be either black, brown or dark gray and has a swarm of locusts around it. This horse will appear only once, usually between Torquemada and Diez Coronas. Note: You must break Famine during your first encounter with him, else there's a very good chance that he may run off and never respawn.
Death (Story related) ~ Can be either black, brown or dark gray and has ghostly trail follow it when it runs. You will receive this horse upon completing the main game. The horse can however be found near New Austin and Nuevo Paraiso.
Pestilence ~ Can be either white, dark brown or dark grey and can be found near West Elizabeth, Tall Trees, west of Thieves Landing and south of Broken Tree. Has a green, fog-like smoke around it.

This series of challenges can only be started by a random event, because you must obtain a treasure map to start them. After finding a man sitting at a campsite (either eating or talking to a chained zombie. Look for a chest next to them and open it up to find the first treasure map.
