Returning to the caravan, Margaret has one last favor. Due to the sudden lack of lions in the circus group, he asks Arthur to search for the other remaining lion. Heading over to Emerald Ranch, Arthur will find two terrified farmers standing outside a locked barn door. After investigating the barn, a dead rancher horse can be found outside leading the way to a nearby stable. Once Arthur is close enough, an actual lion will charge and attack. This provides the lion’s paw trophy, but sadly, no salvageable lion. Returning to Margaret provides Arthur with a sizeable chunk of emerald as a rew

There's a ton of stuff to do, and the New Orleans-inspired architecture is simply magnificent. It's also home to some great missions and subplots, and its billowing black smoke portends dangerous things to c

As Arthur and John race to the front cars, they’re met with heavy resistance. Train cars erupt in fiery explosions, causing them to derail and fly off the tracks. During a break in the fighting, Arthur and John discover and mount up a Gatling gun just as dozens of lawmen race in next to the train on horseback. Right before the gun is ready, a guard sneaks up and shoots John in the shoulder and causes him to fall off the tr

A rumor in Rhodes has it that both families have vast stashes of gold and riches hidden somewhere in the region. Dutch van der Linde and Hosea Matthew hatch a plan to warm up to both families, then sneakily escalate tensions so they can make off with the gold when the fighting reaches a climax. Arthur and the crew embark on shadowy missions to gain the favor of the Grays and Braithwaites while also sabotaging them behind their backs. When it seems that Dutch's plot might go off without a hitch, it becomes clear that the gang was being played the whole t

Players really get to know the members of the gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 's Chapter 3. While the first couple of chapters featured the crew unsuccessfully laying low following the Blackwater incident, their stint in Rhodes sees them get gutsier with their schemes. That results in risker missions and new faces that introduce the power players within RDR2 's massive world. The series of events that unravel in Chapter 3 loop back to the core narrative that outlaws are being left behind and foreshadow that the gang's days could be numbered after making such powerful enem

Outside of Red Dead Redemption 2's main story missions, side quest "Stranger" missions involving various NPCs add to the long list of things to uncover in Rockstar’s widely successful sequel, although some missions are more bizarre than others. Taking the time to listen in to random NPC conversations or explore question marks on the map can lead to rewarding surprises in unexpected pla

Finding a bayou in the game was an unexpected but welcome surprise. The entire Lemoyne area is very Louisiana, with Saint Denis being a fictional version of New Orleans . Bayou Nwa is a very unique location within Red Dead Redemption 2 crafting Dead Redemption 2 , serving as a swampy, muddy, and generally dirty area, filled with animals like alligators, cranes, egrets, spoonbills, pelicans, and turt

If the player finishes the game with a dark aura, the player will reunite with the allied tribe Sifu, who will decide to destroy the tree of life and end all life on the planet, hoping that nature will rise again anew. At this point, the player, the tribe of Sifu, and anyone the player chooses to save will enter a spaceship that is hidden underground, and they will watch the destruction as they fly a

_Red Dead Redemption 2 _ had one of the most colorful casts of characters Rockstar Games has created. The Western followed the story of a life-long outlaw, Arthur Morgan, a high-ranking member of the Van der Linde gang , a group of bandits on the run from the law after a botched steamboat robbery. Through their adventures across the American frontier, players get to know the Van der Linde crew. Each gang member's disposition shined in conversations with Arthur, but they were also reflected by the horses they choose to r

This first one is debatable, however, it does include robbery on a train and the least amount of violence. This "train robbery" is from a side mission to fight gunslingers . Arthur is told to seek out four old gunslingers and gather information about Jim "Boy" Calloway. In this side mission, Arthur is looking for a man named Billy Midni

**Red Dead Redemption 2 ** has its fair share of train robberies amongst its many bank heists and other various jobs. Maybe it's because train robberies are a staple of the old west that they’re used so often, but nevertheless RDR2 makes each train robbery feel different and keeps them spread apart enough so that the player can enjoy their time with the mission instead of it feeling like it’s the same mission repeatedly. If there's ever a RDR3 , Rockstar can always up the ante and improve upon the train robberies to add an even better vari
