Need help with the 'Horse Flesh for Dinner' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2? Follow our step-by-step guide to catch the stallion, get headshots, and earn the Gold Medal.
Alright, partner, let's get this mission, Horse Flesh for Dinner, done. It's Chapter 3, and we're heading over to Caliga Hall. Your main goal here is to get a specific stallion and, if you're aiming for that shiny Gold Medal, you'll need to be quick with your shots and your lasso!
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, ride over to Caliga Hall. You'll need to deal with the guards there before you can even think about meeting up with John and Javier.
- 2Once you're inside the stables and you've had your chat about the horses, you'll ride out with the gang. Keep an eye out for when you reach the Braithwaite stables.
- 3When you get the chance, take the lead as Arthur. Your objective is to perform a Stealth Kill on the stable hand. Make sure you get close enough without being spotted to pull this off cleanly.
- 4After that, make your way to the white horse standing in the center of the stable area. You'll need to calm it down so you can lead it outside to John.
- 5Now, the escape sequence kicks off. Stick with the rest of the gang as you ride away. This is where you'll want to activate Dead Eye. Your goal is to get at least 5 headshots on any pursuers. Don't stress too much about perfect accuracy, just aim for the head!
- 6Once the last of the guards are down, keep your eyes peeled. You'll see the specific horse you need start to buck a little. This is your cue to equip the Lasso.
- 7As soon as that horse breaks free, you've got a tight window – only 10 seconds – to catch it with your Lasso for the Gold Medal. So be ready to throw it the moment it's free!
- 8Once you've got it lassoed, keep that [L2]/[LT] button held down firmly. You'll need to lead it all the way to the marker on your map to officially complete the mission.
Tips
- Gold Medal Tip 1: For the stealth kill, make sure you approach the stable hand from behind when he's not looking.
- Gold Medal Tip 2: The 10-second stallion catch is crucial. Have your Lasso ready to go the second the horse starts bucking.
- Gold Medal Tip 3: When using Dead Eye for the headshots, aim for the head area. Even if it's not a perfect bullseye, it should count as long as it's on the head.
- General Tip: Don't worry too much about ammo or health items during the shootout if you're focused on the headshots for the Gold. Just keep moving and firing.
