Learn how to complete the 'A Fisher of Men' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly. Get tips on catching fish and earning the Gold Medal.
Alright, so you've got a mission from Abigail to take young Jack out fishing. It's a pretty straightforward one, but if you're aiming for that Gold Medal, you'll need to be quick about it!
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, head back to camp and chat with Abigail. She'll ask you to take Jack out for a fishing trip.
- 2Once she's done, go find Jack. Greet him, and then you'll both get on your horses.
- 3Now, you need to head to the river. The mission marker will guide you. For the Gold Medal, you've got to catch your first fish within 1 minute 30 seconds of arriving at the river. So, don't dawdle!
- 4When you get to the river bank, pull out your fishing rod. You can find it in your weapon wheel – just press [R1]/[RB] to open it up and select the rod.
- 5Next, you'll need to pick a bait. Cheese is perfectly fine for this, so select that.
- 6Casting your line is just like aiming a weapon. Wait for a fish to bite – you'll see the bobber go down. When it does, press [R2]/[RT] to hook it.
- 7Keep an eye on the onscreen prompts to reel your catch in. It can take a bit of wiggling the analog stick, but you'll get the hang of it.
- 8Here's a little something for you: if you throw the fish you just caught back into the river, you'll get a small Honor boost. It's a nice touch if you're trying to keep Arthur's honor up.
- 9After that, you need to catch two more fish. Once you've got your third catch, a cutscene will play.
- 10Following the cutscene, hop back on your horse and make a dash back to camp. You need to complete the entire mission within 7 minutes 20 seconds to get the Gold Medal, so speed is key here.
Tips
- To maximize your chances of getting the Gold Medal, consider replaying this mission. Skipping the cutscenes can save you valuable time.
- If you're struggling to catch a fish quickly, try moving to a different spot along the river bank. Sometimes the fish are biting more in certain areas.
