Player notes

After agreeing to help Rains Fall with Charles Smith, Arthur goes to Rains Fall's tent at the Wapiti Indian Reservation. A coughing fit draws the chief's attention, and he asks whether Arthur is well enough. Rains Fall reproaches Arthur for riding with Eagle Flies, whom he considers too impulsive, but Arthur apologizes. The chief asks him to accompany him to a sacred place in the Grizzlies East, and Arthur rides out with him.

Captain Monroe stops them outside Wapiti with word that his efforts to secure land for the tribe have failed. He asks Arthur for help with another matter, then leaves them to continue. On the road, Rains Fall gathers English Mace and Ginseng for Arthur's cough. They pass wolves feeding on a dead horse, and Arthur drives the animals off without shooting them. Their conversation ranges from Eagle Flies and Dutch van der Linde to Arthur's illness and his dead son.

At O'Creagh's Run, Rains Fall finds the sacred site burned and its Chanupa missing. Whiskey bottles left among the ruins lead him and Arthur to suspect nearby Army soldiers. Looking through binoculars, Arthur spots their camp in the valley and offers to retrieve the pipe's pieces. Rains Fall reluctantly agrees, asking him not to hurt anyone. Arthur enters the camp, takes the Chanupa from beside its central fire, and brings it back to Rains Fall at O'Creagh's Run.

Trivia

  • โ—†The Owl Feather Trinket slows down all core degradation by 15% - this means that Arthur's cores will drain by 5% instead of the previous 20%, which was also the case when Arthur returned from Guarma but prior to his TB diagnosis.
  • โ—†Despite the whiskey bottles at the site supposedly being empty, most of them can be picked up by the player as if they are full.
  • โ—†During the ride with Rains Fall, Arthur vocally scares away a pair of wolves feasting on a dead horse, which Rains Fall thanks him for - this is the only time in the game where wolves will not be hostile to the player. However, predators will also run away from carts or wagons.
  • โ—†The horse that the wolves are feasting on is a Tobiano American Paint.
  • โ—†The guards at the camp can be alerted, and even broken free from should the player become grappled, without preventing the player from receiving the Owl Feather Trinket.
  • โ—†When visited in free roam, the sacred site was previously already destroyed, even if visited as early as Chapter 2. This has been changed in an update, and if visited before the mission becomes active, the site will be intact.
  • โ—†If Arthur has already destroyed Bacchus Bridge with John Marston in "The Bridge to Nowhere", Rains Fall will point out the bridge to Arthur, which can be seen during their ride. Rains Fall will ask Arthur if his son did it which Arthur will deny. Rains Fall will then lament on the fact that Wapitis will likely be blamed for it anyway.
  • โ—†The herbs Rains Fall gathers, English Mace and Ginseng, are two of the three ingredients needed to craft a Special Health Cure, missing only Yarrow.
  • โ—†If the player fails the mission during the ride, Rains Fall will be wearing his outfit from "My Last Boy" and "The King's Son" instead of his default outfit.
