Follow our guide to complete the 'A Bright Bouncing Boy II' Stranger Mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, including placing lightning conductors and discovering Marko's fate.

Alright, so you've finished the first part of Marko Dragic's quest, and now it's time for the next step in 'A Bright Bouncing Boy II'. This one's a bit of a waiting game, so get ready to chill for a bit.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to advance the in-game clock by 24 hours. Just sleep in your camp or at an inn until a full day has passed.
  2. 2
    Once that's done, make your way to Doverhill, way up in the northeast corner of the map.
  3. 3
    Now, here's the tricky part: you need to wait for a Thunderstorm. This only happens between 10 PM and 5 AM. If it's not storming, you might have to sleep through a few nights until the weather cooperates.
  4. 4
    When the storm hits and it's the right time, Marko will contact you. He needs your help placing Lightning Conductors. It can be pretty dark during a storm, so grab a lantern to see what you're doing. The detector Marko gave you earlier will be your guide, pointing you in the right direction for each conductor.
  5. 5
    Place all three conductors as indicated by the detector.
  6. 6
    After placing the conductors, Marko will ask you to climb the tower and flip some switches. It's important to flip the two outer switches first, and then the middle one last.
  7. 7
    Once the switches are done, head back to Marko to see the results of his experiment.
  8. 8
    To finally wrap this Stranger Mission up and see Marko's ultimate fate, you'll need to wait more than 48 hours in-game. After that time has passed, return to his location. You'll also unlock a Trophy/Achievement for completing this mission.
Tips
  • The detector Marko gives you is crucial for finding the conductor locations, especially in the dark and during a storm. Make sure you're following it closely.
  • Flipping the switches in the correct order (outer first, then middle) is key to Marko's experiment working as intended.
  • Don't forget to come back after 48 hours! Missing that final visit means you won't see the outcome or get your Trophy/Achievement.
  • Trophy/Achievement Unlocked
