Player notes

At Coot's Chapel, John Marston finds Seth Briars searching among the bodies again. Seth is still trying to assemble his map and believes another piece can be found in Tumbleweed. He loads several corpses into a wagon, then joins John for the journey across New Austin.

John drives the wagon toward Tumbleweed while Seth rummages through the bodies in the back. Seth talks to the dead as he searches, which disgusts John. Bandits pursue the wagon on the road, and John fights them off without abandoning Seth or the horses.

The pair reaches Tumbleweed with the wagon intact. Seth continues his examination of the corpses and finds the missing piece of his map on the last body. John remains with Seth in Tumbleweed as Seth takes possession of it.

Trivia

  • โ—†Although Moses mentioned in the previous mission that the other piece of the map was at Odd Fellow's Rest, this mission also begins like previous mission with Seth searching for the other map piece among the bodies in Coot's Chapel.
  • โ—†During the ride in the wagon, John will comment on Seth's chatter with the corpses, calling him sick and twisted. The whole dialogue is a subtle reference to John himself, as he tends to speak to corpses when looting them, pronouncing short one-liners such as "'Sorry friend, I ain't gettin' fresh."
  • โ—†If John has already acquired the machine gun in the mission "Man is Born Unto Trouble", Seth will mention it during the ride. He will tell John that West Dickens doesn't have any ammo for it.
  • โ—†The first body in the coffin is the exact model of Sam Odessa when he is found dead outside Tumbleweed.
  • โ—†As Seth finds the map on the last body, the corpse model may stand up.
  • โ—†In the beginning of the mission, Seth says not to drive through Armadillo. Should the player choose to do so, a few lines of dialogue will play. If the player stops for a long time, a lawmen will approach, examine the wagon and the mission will fail.
  • โ—†This mission can be completed before "Hanging Bonnie MacFarlane", which also takes place in Tumbleweed, but if this is the case John will still ask Marshal Johnson about Tumbleweed during the mission to save Bonnie, as though he is unaware of it.
