5 years after its release, Red Dead Redemption 2 still hides surprises, including an alternate ending to this mission that few players know about.

Fans of Rockstar Games games know it well: the studio makes it a point to provide their players with more than just actual production. In Red Dead Redemption 2, users are immersed in the shoes of Arthur Morgan, an outlaw lost in the vastness of the American West. Thanks to the Honor Gauge, players can choose the path of redemption or chaos. NPCs will therefore react differently to Arthur, and may insult him when they encounter him if his honor gauge is the lowest. But the attention to detail doesn’t stop there, and a side quest has a “secret” ending that depends on the protagonist’s attitude!

When Arthur Morgan commits irreparable conduct

During the bounty hunter search, Arthur Morgan has to chase Mark Johnson. Once at the fugitive’s home, he is home with his wife and son, and assures the protagonist that he is a changed man and will surrender without resistance after saying goodbye to his family. Usually the search ends thereAnd Johnson goes to jail.

But after Mark Johnson surrendered, only the meanest players thought of attacking his family. If Arthur Morgan kills his wife in cold blood, his son will have a chance to escape. However, this would send Mark Johnson into a rage. Even after Morgan’s apology, The fugitive will be upsetAnd will continue to annoy the main character.

A “secret” ending?

A week later, life may have returned to normal, although the search continues. In Rhodes, Arthur Morgan will see a surprising scene: Mark Johnson is being executed. It is possible to save his life by pulling the rope and killing all the bounty hunters around. The NPC will calmly wait for you where he almost lost his life.

The game considers Arthur’s decision, who chose the path of forgiveness. A conversation with Johnson opens in which he expresses remorse for those killed. The hero will then give the fugitive a chance to escape, saying: “Now take care of this boy, go away”. The quest is finally over, and players may have chosen to save the life of the one they betrayed!
