In the tumultuous world of Red Dead Redemption 2, the star-crossed lovers Beau Gray and Penelope Braithwaite face their greatest challenge yet in The Course of True Love IV-V. As Arthur Morgan, you must navigate the treacherous landscape of family feuds and societal expectations to help the couple escape their doomed fate. Join us for a thrilling walkthrough of these pivotal missions, where loyalty, honor, and love are put to the ultimate test.
Note – Parts I-III of the mission The Course of True Love were completed in chapter 3. At that time, these were mandatory story missions. Taking care of the fourth and fifth parts of the mission is not required to advance in the main plot.
The opportunity to continue the ploy of young lovers appears in chapter 6. You must wait until you receive a new letter addressed to Arthur. This is a letter from Penelope asking for help and you will find her in Dutch’s gang camp in Butcher Creek. The letter will lie on the chest next to the hero’s bed.
The meeting point with Penelope is a small building adjacent to the western border of the Braithwaite Manor.
On arrival, talk to Penelope. You have to take her on horseback to the train station in Rhodes where she plans to meet Beau and start a train journey together.
When she arrives at the station, she will buy two tickets. Arthur will hear a brawl on the platform. It turns out that the first hostile relatives have appeared. You have to defeat the men in a fist fight. If you deal with them quickly enough, you will be able to jump on the departing train right away. Otherwise, get on your horse to catch up with the train.
Reach the compartment where Beau and Penelope are sitting. Traveling by train will make it harder for more enemies to appear in the area. Those what do appear will have to die. Get out of the car and put Arthur behind a cover. Eliminate enemies with a rifle or a pistol.
The train will soon stop unexpectedly. Go towards the locomotive. After arriving at the place, it turns out that the driver escaped and Arthur has to replace him. Interact with the central console. Controlling a train is very easy – X / A button is responsible for acceleration. You don’t have to perform any other actions along the way. You also don’t have to brake, because there is no risk of derailment.
What are the key challenges in completing the fourth and fifth parts of The Course of True Love
Completing the fourth and fifth parts of The Course of True Love in Red Dead Redemption 2 presents several key challenges:
-
Time Pressure and Navigation:
-
Part IV is initiated by reading a letter from Penelope, which sets up Part V. The challenge here is more about preparation and understanding the mission’s objectives rather than immediate action.
-
Part V requires escorting Penelope to the train station in Rhodes and ensuring she and Beau escape their families. The mission must be completed within 7 minutes and 30 seconds to achieve a Gold Medal, necessitating quick navigation and decision-making.
-
-
Combat and Defense:
-
At the train station, you’ll encounter hostile relatives who attempt to stop the couple. You must engage in a fistfight to protect them, which can be challenging if not handled swiftly.
-
After boarding the train, more Braithwaites will attack. To achieve a Gold Medal, you need to headshot 5 Braithwaites during this pursuit, requiring effective use of Dead Eye and quick reflexes.
-
-
Driving the Train:
-
After dealing with the attackers, the conductor abandons the train, leaving you to drive it to Riggs Station. This requires managing the train’s speed and ensuring it reaches the destination safely without further complications.
-
Overall, these challenges demand a combination of combat skills, time management, and navigation to ensure the successful escape of Beau and Penelope.
