After the dog attack, the villagers agree that the "darkness" is the root cause. A strange shaman then appears claiming that evil charms are throughout the woods and are perpetuating a dark curse. Strangely, he warns Arthur not to disturb the wo
Dutch's origins as a runaway from his impoverished family struggling to make it, and his turn to thievery for survival, also lay the foundation for the gang itself. Dutch feels like an outsider in the frontier, a misfit that dreams of a better life. As such, he collects other outsiders struggling to make it and brings them into his family. He finds a brother in Hosea when they try to rob each other, similar to Anakin finding a brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two form the bedrock of the Van Der Linde Gang. Dutch then finds sons in Arthur and John , another pair of unfortunate kids trying to survive, and the stage is set for Dutch's series of betrayals in RDR2 . As Anakin turned his back on Obi-Wan and caused Padme's demise, so too does Dutch turn his back on Hosea and set in motion the destruction of John and Art
In a poignant moment, John watches his son read out loud to him, and he finds himself tuning out what Jack is saying not because he finds it uninteresting, but because he is finally happy. He's finally gotten the family life he wanted, and he gets to watch his son grow up to be whoever he wants to be. While the "real" ending may differ ever so slightly, it's a moment worth treasuring all the s
He rode a Mustang named Maggie in Red Dead Redemption 2 , a breed known for its work ethic and surefootedness. Unfortunately, confidence resulted in Lenny's shocking death during a San Denis bank robb
RDR2 's Micah Bell was best known as the Van der Linde gang degenerate. He was obnoxious, bigoted, and a generally foul person to be around, which made him a particularly good outlaw. In the end, he betrays the Van der Linde gang, proving that he's the snake Arthur always thought it was. His Missouri Fox Trotter horse, Baylock, is black and white, which can be seen as a symbol of Micah's two-faced charac
While Dutch may not have a Chosen One-type prophecy driving his narrative, it would be hard to convince him of it. Dutch believes unequivocally that he is destined to make a utopia for him and his own that fits his fantasy of a free frontier. The original Red Dead Redemption showed Dutch at the very end of his journey when he had no cards left up his sleeve, but even then the enigmatic leader had the last word and ended things on his own terms. When the story roles back to the downfall of the Van Der Linde Gang in RDR2, players see a much more nuanced Dutch with more of the charm and bravado for which he's known, but that slowly fades as the story progresses. Even as the game foreshadows that he is getting sloppy and erratic, Dutch still showcases hints at the man he was , who was able to inspire all the members to follow
The zebra can be found northwest of the starting location, grazing under a tree. Once Arthur lassoes the animal, it becomes apparent that it is not a zebra at all but rather a mule painted to look like a zebra. Arthur continues to help looking for circus animals, and Margaret informs him that his assistant is looking for the others. Meeting up with the assistant, Arthur agrees to look for the l
A few days later in the same spot, the player can run into the brothers and Helen again. This time, their challenge of bravery has escalated to withstanding different punches. After three rounds of absorbing blows, neither brother is left standing so Helen decides to cart them a
Their return has a momentary silver lining when Arthur finds the remaining Van der Linde gang members camped out near San Denis. That reunion is cut short when the Pinkerton National Detective Agency , which has been chasing them from the start of the story, attacks the remnants of the gang and forces them to relocate into the mountains near a mining town named Annesb
In true Rockstar fashion, side quests can contain both shocking and interesting details that rival some of the best missions from the main story, and in **Red Dead Redemption 2 Guide Dead Redemption 2 ** Stranger missions are no except
" The Artist's Way " is one of the simplest missions to complete, with a majority of its hilariously chaotic scenes playing out with players as passive observers. The hijinks sparked by Châtenay's scandalous art are amusing even to Arthur Morgan, as he saves the man's life time and time again from outraged citizens of Saint Denis. While it is simple to miss, and may cause a few troubles with the law, the entertainment value makes this Stranger Mission a must-p
Once the mission "The Gilded Cage" is completed in Red Dead Redemption 2 Chapter 4, two men by the names of Proetus and Acrisius can be found in Valentine outside of the general store. Both men are fighting over a woman named Helen, and have decided to test their bravery to determine who is worthier of her attention. The brothers decide that Arthur will use his revolver to shoot bottles off of their heads. Assuming neither brother is dead after three rounds, both brothers will chase after Helen while hurling additional insults at one anot
