Follow our step-by-step guide to conquer the 'Man is Born Unto Trouble' mission in Red Dead Redemption, from finding Irish to escaping the mine.

Alright, so you've bumped into your old pal Irish again, this time down in Benedict Point. After a bit of a chat, he'll want you to head over to a camp near Gaptooth Breach. So, saddle up and let's get going!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, when you get to the entrance of the camp, whip out your **Dead Eye** and tag those two guards on their horses. It'll give you a bit of an edge.
  2. 2
    As you get closer, expect a full-on firefight with a bunch of miners. They're not messing around, so you'll want to stick to cover as much as possible. Use your rifles to pick them off one by one. If you can't get a clear shot, use the cover to flank them – a better angle means an easier kill.
  3. 3
    Once you've cleared the immediate area, head into the mine. Keep your eyes peeled for TNT crates scattered around. These are your best friends right now; shooting them will take out any miners nearby and save you precious ammo. Also, try to shoot any lanterns hanging from the roof. This'll set off chain reactions and clear out enemies, plus it'll help keep those red blips off your radar.
  4. 4
    Make your way down to the mine cart. You'll need to push it all the way back up through the mine until you hit the yellow cross marker. After a cutscene, you'll need to push the cart downhill. It'll pick up speed, and you'll automatically hop on for a ride.
  5. 5
    Warning: As you're riding the cart downhill, watch out for a barrel of TNT that gets dropped on the track. You absolutely need to shoot it out of your way as fast as possible, or you'll likely fail the mission.
  6. 6
    Once you reach your destination, you'll wrap up this pretty lengthy mission. Good job!
Tips
  • Using Dead Eye on the initial guards can give you a crucial head start.
  • Don't be afraid to use the environment to your advantage, especially those TNT crates and lanterns in the mine.
  • Keep moving and use cover effectively during the firefights.
  • The TNT barrel on the track is a critical moment; be ready to react quickly.
