The Fine Art of Conversation

Follow our step-by-step guide to complete 'The Fine Art of Conversation' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, including tips for achieving Gold Medal status.

Alright, so you've just wrapped up 'Honor, Amongst Thieves,' and it's time to head back to camp to chat with Trelawny. This mission, 'The Fine Art of Conversation,' has a Gold Medal timer, so be ready to skip any cutscenes you can to save precious seconds.

Once you're back at camp, you'll see one of the gang members heading out, and then Rain Falls shows up, needing your help again. Hop on your horse and follow Charles and Rain Falls to the meeting spot. As soon as you get the chance, skip that next cutscene.

Arthur will end up inside one of the tents. Your job here is to get right up against the tent fabric and listen in on the conversation. Again, skip the next cutscene when it pops up.

Now, you've got a soldier's life in your hands. Back away from the tent towards your horse. Arthur will toss the soldier down. Quick, get on your horse and start making your escape, following the others. As you ride uphill, the first mounted pursuer will show up. This is your cue to activate Dead Eye and take out their horse. Doing this will tick off the first Gold Medal objective. Honestly, for the rest of the mission, don't stress too much about perfect headshots; accuracy is what really matters for that medal.

After you've ditched your horses, head for the trees on your left. Start taking down the soldiers hiding there. You'll get ambushed from behind, so spin around, find some cover, and deal with the waves of soldiers attacking you. The last to arrive will be a wagon with a bunch of soldiers. This is the perfect moment to trigger Dead Eye and clear them all out before they can even get into position.

Once all the soldiers are down, hop back on your horse and wait for Monroe to join you. Now, you need to race to the station as fast as you can. Remember to skip the cutscene that starts as soon as you dismount.

Gold Medal Checklist:

• Kill a pursuer's horse during the escape
• Complete within 9 minutes 30 seconds
• Complete with at least 75% accuracy
• Complete the mission without taking any health items
