Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'Polite Society, Valentine Style' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, including Gold Medal objectives and tips.
Alright, let's get this Chapter 2 mission, 'Polite Society, Valentine Style,' sorted. It's pretty straightforward, a good way to ease into things. To kick it off, just head over to Uncle at the camp and have a chat.
You'll start off in control of a wagon. Your first job is to follow the trail leading towards Valentine. Keep an eye out, because you'll soon run into another wagon that's lost control. Once you see it, hop off your horse and go talk to the driver of the runaway wagon. They'll ask for your help, so agree to it.
Now, you need to approach the panicked white horse. Make sure to use the 'Calm' option when you get close. Once the horse is settled down, lead it back to its owner. Doing this will give you a nice little boost to your Honor, and then you can get back on your own wagon.
When you get near the Stables in Valentine, stop the wagon. The girls will then head off to do some business. Follow Uncle to the General Store – this is where you'll get a quick rundown on how these stores work. You can look around the shelves, but honestly, it's much faster to just go straight to the counter and use the Catalog to buy whatever you need. After you're done shopping, head back outside and wait for the girls.
While you and Uncle are having a drink and waiting, things will get a bit hectic across the street. Tilly will be in trouble. You need to move fast and head over there to 'Defuse' the situation. The goal here is to end it peacefully. After that, you'll need to head into the nearby Hotel. This is where the Gold Medal challenge comes in: you've only got 45 seconds to find Karen. So, make a dash up the stairs, take a right at the top, and go straight to Room 2B at the end of the hall. You'll find Karen being attacked. Take care of the guy by using melee attacks. Once he's down, follow Karen back downstairs and outside.
Just when you think you're done, a guy spots Arthur and recognizes him from Blackwater. He'll bolt on his horse. You need to give chase! Gallop after him, making sure to go through the stables as part of the pursuit. Eventually, the guy will fall off his horse and end up dangling precariously from the cliff edge. You'll have a choice here: help the man up. If you do, you'll get another Honor boost and a Pen as a thank you gift.
Gold Medal Checklist:
- Return the lost wagon horse to its owner
- Find Karen within 45 seconds
