The Burning

Follow this guide to complete 'The Burning' mission in Red Dead Redemption, helping Bonnie Macfarlane rescue her father and his horses from a burning barn.

Alright, let's get this mission, 'The Burning,' sorted. It's the final main mission for Bonnie Macfarlane, so it's a pretty important one. You'll start it off by heading to a yellow marker on your map. Bonnie will be there, and she's pretty worried about her dad.

Your first job is to follow Bonnie on your horse. Keep up with her until you track her dad down out in the sticks. He'll then ask you to head back and grab a carriage for him.

Now, on your way back, you'll spot a fire raging in the distance. Yep, a burning barn. Ride over there as fast as you can and jump off your horse when you get close. You need to get inside this barn, but it's not straightforward. Head to the back of the barn and climb up. You'll need to get onto the windmill platform.

Once you're on the windmill platform, use the prompt (it'll be Y/Triangle) to pull yourself up onto the platform itself. Then, you need to get onto the wooden pole that's attached to the barn. Just hang off it for now.

From there, shimmy your way to the left. After that, run around the platform and make your way into the barn. Inside, you'll see a ladder. Slide down it. You'll find a pitchfork blocking the door – pull it out of the way. Now, you need to get the horses out. Slap their rears to get them moving towards the exit.

There's one horse left that's being a bit stubborn. You'll need to mount this one and ride it out of the barn yourself. To make sure you clear the entrance, press the jump button just before you reach it. Doing this will complete the mission and wrap up Bonnie's story arc.
