It’s advised to create a manual save when near a Rock Carving. The game orders them differently, but I’m certain my way is more efficient. Generally, I’ve tried to order the Rock Carvings from west to east, mostly because players will get the quest while they’re in the west. Tip: I’ve constructed this guide in a way that hopefully cuts down on the cross-map travel. The conversation is a strange one, but once it’s over players are free to roam the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 in search of all 10 Rock Carvings, a journey that will lead to some incredible adventures. This quest is started by visiting Francis Sinclair at his cabin just northwest of Strawberry, east of Owanjila lake, which is home to a Legendary Fish, and southwest of Hawks Eye Creek. Geology for Beginners This screen capture was taken during Geology for Beginners II, but Francis Sinclair's cabin is always in the same locations.

Below is a walkthrough for how to find all 10 Rock Carvings, how to get the Old Brass Compass, how to craft the Raven Claw Talisman, and how to fix the whole thing if it’s bugged.

This will bring about an ingredient called the Old Brass Compass that is required to craft the Raven Claw Talisman at one of the Fence Vendors. As part of the Geology for Beginners quest, players will need to collect all 10 of them. Red Dead Redemption 2 has a lot of collectibles, and the Rock Carvings are high on the list of those that are interesting.
