We Shall Be Together in Paradise

Player notes

Screenshots from We Shall Be Together in Paradise, mirrored from Red Dead Wiki.

• ◆This is the only mission Irish actually fights in. He will use a Cattleman Revolver as his weapon of choice.
• ◆Marston tells Irish that he knowingly missed the assault on Fort Mercer, to which Irish replies he woke up with head in a pair of tits and he felt ill-mannered not to get reacquainted with 'em. However, Irish is seen in the cutscene at the beginning of the assault on Fort Mercer mission.
• ◆If standing outside the mission marker, it is possible to fight West Dickens and Irish by drawing a gun at them, but they are both invincible.
• ◆The mission's name is both a Biblical reference to one of the two criminals crucified with Jesus and to the region John and Irish are traveling to, Nuevo Paraíso (New Paradise the English translation).
• ◆After this mission, the bridges from Mexico to America are built, apart from the Frontera Bridge for a short while.
• ◆If you whistle for your horse instead of using the one when you arrive in Mexico, your horse will have somehow crossed the border.
• ◆After completing the mission, the raft "magically" begins to float away. If the player is fast enough, they can jump onto the raft and ride it. It stops southeast of Fort Mercer, in the middle of the water.
• ◆Following this mission, as Marston mounts his horse, the song "Far Away" by Jose Gonzalez will begin playing. Playback will cease if the player opens their satchel, dismounts their horse, or enters any settlement in Nuevo Paraíso.
• ◆At one point during the mission, Irish asks what the Spanish word for "c**t" is. The Spanish version of the word is "coño", which literally translates to "vagina".
• ◆It is possible for Irish to seemingly die, and then be revived. If you stand as far as possible from the lantern nearest Irish, and then shoot it down, it will explode. If you're lucky enough, you will just get moderately hurt, while Irish is completely engulfed in fire. Strangely, you do not fail the mission. Irish will roll around on the raft for a while, then the flames will go out. He will get up, blackened and singed, and then continue shooting, as if nothing happened.
• ◆This mission marks Irish's last appearance.
• ◆Irish claims that some Nuevo Paraiso residents refer to him as "El Rato," which he believes translates to "the Cat." Marston then corrects Irish, explaining that it actually translates to "the Rat". While the term "Rato" exists in Spanish to describe a male rat, is a very little used term, being "La Rata" the usual word for describe both male and female rats.
• ◆Although it is part of the New Austin chapter the stats count it as a Nuevo Paraíso mission.
• ◆Marston actually can kill Irish after the mission, but must do it extremely quickly and may have to use Dead-Eye. Otherwise, Irish will disappear, with no possible way for Marston to catch up to him.
• ◆The way Irish holsters his gun is unusual, as he tucks it into his pants, rather than using a belt (do not attempt this in real life).
• ◆This is one of few ways to obtain the Springfield Rifle for free; another being Gaptooth Breach.
• ◆During the mission, Irish exclaims that he was born into the world fighting, and that he would leave it fighting. Marston replies that he thinks Irish "will leave it pissing your pants". In the 1914 edition of the Blackwater Ledger, that can be purchased by Jack, it will state that an unamed Irish male died as a result of an accidental discharge of a firearm whilst in a Thieves' Landing outhouse.
• ◆During the mission, if the player opens up the map, it will only be possible to set waypoints in Nuevo Paraíso. Once the mission is complete, however, waypoints can now be set in both Nuevo Paraíso and New Austin.
• ◆If the player has already had Springfield Rifle before starting the mission, it will not appear on the crates for picking up. Also, if the player has the Springfield Rifle and more than enough rifle ammo, Irish may not mention the ammo crate, and it may not give you more ammo.
