The Battle of Shady Belle Red Dead Redemption 2 Mission
Group: Chapter 3 - Clemens Point
Category: Story Mission
This mission will start automatically when the Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern mission is completed. You, Dutch, John and other gang members discuss what to do next to find Jack, when suddenly uninvited guests - the Pinkertons - appear in your camp and have an offer for you.
They want to arrest Dutch and in return they offer to let the other gang members walk away. Their offer is not accepted and they leave. However, they threaten to return in a larger group, so you must quickly find a place for a new camp. Arthur has an idea where you can temporarily move the camp.
John and Arthur clear out the last remaining Lemoyne Raiders from Shady Belle before the gang relocate their caravan.

Objectives of The Battle of Shady Belle
1. Mount your horse / Ride to Shady Belle
Get on your horse and go to Shady Belle.
2. Enter the house
There are two Lemoyne Raiders at the entrance. To earn the gold medal, you have to kill them both, John CAN'T shoot either one of them. If the opponent standing closer to the door manages to run into the house, nothing is lost. He'll hide in one of the rooms on the upper floor and you'll still be able to kill him.
If you manage to kill both enemies before one of them runs into the house, you will make it much easier for your to meet the next gold medal requirement. In this case, there will be a total of three bodies on the ground floor. One of them will be taken by John and the other two will be for you. This way, to take a second body, you don't have to go to the upper floor and you will save a lot of time.
So it's best to quickly get off your horse and quickly run up to the entrance so that John stays a little behind. Activate Dead Eye and quickly shoot both opponents. If you screw up, one of them will run into the house and getting a gold medal will be a little harder but still doable.
3. Search the rooms for any Lemoyne stragglers
There' s one more enemy hiding in one of the rooms on the ground floor.
Once you've eliminated him, go up the stairs to the upper floor.
4. Search the remaining rooms upstairs
Depending on whether one of the enemies at the entrance managed to flee to the house, there are two or three enemies hiding on the second floor. You can shoot first one of them through a hole in a broken wall.
You'll find the second one in the next room (He's the one who stood at the entrance and ran into the house).
The last one is their leader, who is in the last room. He won't attack you but will make a short speech and if you don't shoot him, he'll take the gun from the table and shoot himself in the head.
When everyone's dead, John will call you downstairs to help him.
5. Meet John by the entrance
Come downstairs. John will be waiting for you at the front door.
6. Pick up the dead body / Follow John / Dump the body in the swamp around the jetty
Pick up the corpse lying on the ground. John will walk towards a nearby jetty to throw the body into the water.
If you want to stay within the time limit for the gold medal, don't wait for him but go there as fast as you can and throw the body into the water.
Then return to the house for a second corpse.
7. Pick up another body from the house / Dump the body in the swamp around the jetty
Hurry back to the house and take another body. If you killed both enemies at the entrance, you will find another body in the room on the ground floor. Otherwise, you must go for one of the bodies lying on the upper floor. In both cases it is possible to remove two bodies in less than 1 minute and 40 seconds.
Then do the same with it as you did with the first one, that is, take it to the river and throw it into the water.
When you do that, the wagons with the rest of your gang will arrive.
Dutch will ask you to go for a ride with him.
8. Follow Dutch
Dutch will take you for a ride to Saint Denis, ending this mission and the whole chapter.
After completing The Battle of Shady Belle you will get or will be able to get The Joys of Civilization.
