The Joys of Civilization Red Dead Redemption 2 Mission

Group: Chapter 4 - Saint Denis

Category: Story Mission

You will be able to start this mission once you have completed The Battle of Shady Belle mission. Three different places will be marked on the map. The easiest way to start this mission is to go to the westernmost place, which is the Bastille Saloon.

When you try to get inside, someone will put a gun to your head. Luckily, it will be just a stupid joke played by Dutch and after a short conversation you will enter the bar.

Having just arrived in Saint Denis, Dutch and Arthur ask around the Bastille Saloon for information on Angelo Bronte.

Gold Medal Checklist

  • Catch the street urchin before he reaches the market
  • Complete within 5 minutes 30 seconds
