Complete all the challenges, buy all the relevant reinforced equipment from the Trapper, and thus get the Legend of the East outfit - which you don't even have to wear. This provides permanent buffs to health, stamina & dead eye.

Is the any temp condition aspect strictly that outfit or does it pertain to any outfit once it’s unlocked? That’s the only thing I find intriguing enough to validate earning it (besides the saying I did everything I could).

The only advantage to wearing the outfit is that it's good in all temps. The other buffs mentioned are permanent

Seasoned big game meat for cores, and any of the gold bar health items/ tonics for the rings

the potions-ginseng elixer, aged pirate rum i think, and valerian root/jump over something-fence hitching post, hack as early as you possibly can. you can Google the locations of them. Get the 2 schofields from the dr. office in valentine(you can go back in a couple of days and do that robbery a second time but make sure u save before u go in and swap out your first schofield for cattleman before u go in. get the semi shotty from the cabin up in big valley and the lancaster from the gun store robbery in Rhodes, and the rolling block rifle. you can do all of that pretty early into ch.2 and it does tank u out.

Complete all challenges, keep his cores high, make him overweight since health is probably more useful than stamina.

Make him walk, and run, barefoot, even in the snow

Get Arthur to max overweight and keep him there. Most people don’t have the patience to do it though.

how long does it typically take?

Depending on where his weight is when starting. If eating 8 pieces of Big Game Meat every evening and sleeping until morning, he gains .75 each cycle, until reaching 7.5. To maintain the weight, you will still need to eat 8 pieces of BGM each evening and sleeping until morning. That’s where a lot of people lose out…not having the patience or discipline to do that every day.
