What are the key challenges in completing the Simple Pleasures mission
Completing the Simple Pleasures mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 presents a couple of key challenges:
-
Milking Challenge: Players must fill a bucket within 10 seconds while milking a cow. This requires precise timing and finesse, as simply pulling the sticks as fast as possible won’t work. It’s a mini-game that demands a bit of practice to master the rhythm.
-
Time Constraint: The entire mission must be completed within 5 minutes and 15 seconds. This time limit requires players to efficiently follow the mission’s objectives without delays, ensuring they complete all tasks quickly while still performing them correctly4.
These challenges are relatively straightforward compared to other missions in the game, but they still require attention to detail and efficient gameplay to achieve the Gold Medal.
What are the specific requirements for earning a gold medal in the Simple Pleasures mission
To earn a Gold Medal in the Simple Pleasures mission in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must complete the following specific requirements in a single playthrough:
-
Fill a Bucket Within 10 Seconds: During the milking mini-game, you need to fill a bucket within 10 seconds by alternating between the left and right sticks with precise timing3.
-
Complete the Mission Within 5 Minutes and 15 Seconds: The entire mission must be completed within this time frame to meet the Gold Medal requirement3.
Both of these objectives must be achieved in one attempt to earn the Gold Medal. If you fail to meet either requirement, you will need to replay the mission and complete both objectives again.
