Player notes

At Lakay, Dutch van der Linde sits alone, muttering through a chess game as Arthur Morgan approaches. With the Pinkertons closing in and the gang unable to go farther east, Dutch decides they must find shelter to the north. He sends Arthur with Charles Smith to inspect Beaver Hollow in Roanoke Ridge, territory controlled by the Murfree Brood. Arthur meets Charles, and the two set out through the river country toward Butcher Creek and the hollow.

Near Beaver Hollow, Arthur and Charles leave their horses and move quietly past Murfree sentries. They find evidence of the gang's violence, then reach the cave that serves as the Brood's base. Arthur throws dynamite into its entrance, and the pair fight through the tunnels against the Murfrees inside. Deeper in the cave, they hear a woman calling for help. They kill the remaining captors and open a cage holding Meredith Buckley, an Annesburg woman the Murfrees have held prisoner.

Charles rides back to tell Dutch that Beaver Hollow can house the gang, while Arthur takes Meredith to Annesburg. He brings her to her mother and leaves them reunited. Arthur returns to Beaver Hollow as the gang settles into the new camp. Uncle arrives with Molly O'Shea, drunk and furious, and she claims she told the Pinkertons about the gang before the Saint Denis robbery. Dutch raises his gun, but Susan Grimshaw shoots Molly dead. Grimshaw orders Bill Williamson and Pearson to burn her body.

Trivia

  • โ—†In the third trailer for Redemption 2, the scene featured in this mission where Dutch questions Arthur's loyalty is shown, but in it, Arthur does not look ill and instead has the same appearance as he does pre-illness, when he is healthy. This was likely done to avoid spoilers.
  • โ—†In the intro cutscene, as Dutch describes the gang's situation, he mentions the game isn't over until he makes his move. This foreshadows the final mission of the game, which ends with Dutch shooting Micah; a move that ends the game's storyline.
  • โ—†Before Arthur speaks to Dutch at the beginning of the mission Dutch is murmuring chess moves to himself, starting with White to d4 and Black to f5, an opening known as the Dutch Defence. He follows this up with its most popular continuation in modern times, but as there are no games recorded with this particular sequence of moves before 1931, this is arguably an anachronism. He is also describing the moves in algebraic notation ("White to d4"), which would not be popular in chess matches until the 1980s. He should be using descriptive notation instead ("White to Queen 4").
  • โ—†In the game files, Molly was originally going to be buried in an unmarked grave instead of her body being burned. The texture, location coordinates and model of the grave exist in the game files. It can be spawned with mods.
  • โ—†Most players tend to choose Dynamite since it makes clearing the cave out easier and also because it doesn't actually force them to use it, meaning they can still sneak their way through the cave as a means of eliminating enemies and end up receiving free dynamite after the mission.
  • โ—†Arthur will have different reactions to Dutch stating that he hasn't played his last chess move yet, depending on his honor.
  • โ—†If the player has high honor, Arthur will say that he is more interested in saving lives than winning at chess; if the player has low honor, he will be interested in surviving instead.
  • โ—†After delivering Meredith to her mother in Annesburg, if Arthur has high honor, he will meet Edith Downes bringing a client to her home in the same cutscene.
  • โ—†If the player ignores the prompt to journey to Butcher Creek by canoe or horse, Charles will express his impatience. If neither option is selected in time, Charles will automatically choose to go by canoe.
  • โ—†If the player decides to go by canoe, Charles and Arthur will take two random Tennessee Walker horses from the village for the ride to Beaver Hollow.
  • โ—†If the player decides to go by horse and have their temporary horse along as well, it will be left behind at the travel cutscene.
  • โ—†The two unkempt horses at the village are seen only in this mission and can not be found after completion, though identical looking horses can be found during encounters with the Murfree Brood.
  • โ—†Mollyโ€™s death is foreshadowed in Chapter 3, as during the cutscene for Tillyโ€™s Companion Activity (Dominoes), Tilly asks if Dutch would be mad if she killed Grimshaw and Arthur mentions that they did kill someone in camp once before but only because that person was a traitor. Grimshaw would end up killing Molly because she apparently outed them to the Pinkertons and was seen as a traitor.
