RDR2 Outlaws from the West/ Enter, Pursued by a Memory Part 1
2Red Dead Redemption 2 opens with you, Arthur, leading a small caravan of despondent people through a snowstorm. Something unfortunate has happened, and your group has lost a few people. Though you’ve found shelter for now, you must search for food. Your first task is to follow Dutch through the snow on horseback. Follow the prompts to get the feel of controlling your horse. Here’s a quick rundown:
Hold X/A to keep pace.
Double tap X/A to go faster.
Press R1 to slow the horse down.
Use the left stick to control the horse.
Press L2 to speak.
Press the touchpad to change perspective (between first person and third person)
Eventually, Micah will intersect your path. He’s found an occupied house that may help you. Continue to follow the prompts as you follow him.
Once you reach the house, lead the horse to the hitching post and press Triangle/Y to tie it there. While following Dutch on foot, he tells you and Micah to hide as not to intimidate the people inside. Hide in the cattle shed on the left. Press R1 to crouch down.
As Dutch converses with people at the door, Micah makes a chilling discovery - there is a body in the wagon he’s hidden behind.
Ready your gun by holding L1 to bring up the Weapons Wheel, and choose the revolver at the top. Now aim at the man closest to Dutch with L2, and shoot with R2 when that man recognizes him, before he’s able to take a shot himself. Finish taking out the men - the O’Driscolls - with your friends, and don’t worry if one of them gets away.
Head inside with Dutch. Here, you’ll learn about your Health Core, which depletes over time. You must eat to restore it. Pick up some Oatcakes to the right of the entrance by holding square, then hold right on the d-pad to open your satchel. Eat an Oatcake to restore some of your Health Core. Clear out the food from the counter to your left upon entering, and search the medicine cabinet in the back by the wardrobe for medicine. Lastly, climb the ladder to find some revolver cartridges on the small table up there. You can explore more if you wish, but all you’ll find is a picture of the married couple who lives here, and a piece of jewelry on the table next to the bed.
Once you leave, Dutch will instruct you to inspect the barn. Make a left and you’ll see it.
Then, you’ll have the option to kill him, or spare him. After you’ve made your choice, pick up your gun and your hat. Then press square/x to calm the horse as you approach it, and pat it using the same button. Lead the horse out with triangle/Y.
As you approach the house, you’ll hear a woman scream. Turns out, the wife was still alive down in the cellar. The three of you will assure her, Ms. Adler, that she’s okay, and she comes with you to your people.
Be wary - if you hit him three times in this sequence, you will kill him.
Be prepared for a jump scare… literally. One of the O’Driscolls will jump on you when you enter, knocking the gun out of your hand. Attack him with circle/B.
Dutch will watch you fight a bit, but you obviously have the upper hand, easily. Interrogate the O’Driscoll. Ask him questions and he’ll fess up easily.
In the next scene, Abigail asks you (Arthur) to look for John. You leave with Javier to carry out the task. After riding a ways in a cutscene, you’ll make it to a fireplace. Javier investigates the area, and determines the direction they went in. Follow Javier on horseback.
Now, you’ll learn Horses also have health, and crossing ice-cold rivers, and putting them in harm’s way, will deplete it.
Wild on horseback, you can hold the touchpad to activate cinematic camera, and hold X/A to automatically follow the road. Eventually, you’ll come across a grizzly scene up ahead, and confirm that John is nearby. Keep following Javier to him. Once you’re off the horse, follow the prompts to take your shotgun from the inventory kept on your horse.
Keep following Javier to him. Once you’re off the horse, follow the prompts to take your shotgun from the inventory kept on your horse. Hold L1 to look through stored weapons.
Use the right stick to select a weapon to change.
Use L2 and R2 to cycle through different weapons.
Follow Javier. Now, you’ll learn about your Stamina Core. Like Health Core, you can regain Stamina by eating certain foods. Canned Peaches will restore Stamina Core moderately, but only slightly to health. Eat the Canned Peaches.
Keep heading toward John. You’ll get to him soon. After a short conversation, a cutscene of sorts will play with Javier carrying him back, but you’ll still have to use the left stick to move.
Once you get back to the horses, you’ll find you have some unwelcome company in the form of a few wolves.
