At Home with Dutch

Notas do jogador

• ◆Oddly enough, though Dutch gets a direct hit on the binoculars, they are fine for the rest of the game.
• ◆Replay the mission after completing the storyline. Kill the bear and go to the checkpoint where the cougar is, kill the cougar and step in the checkpoint. Don't go to the next checkpoint but jump off to the cliff to commit suicide. Select "Retry from checkpoint" and you will now spawn back at the cougar spot. The bear, however, is back alive. Descend to the bear location. The bear is now tame and won't attack you; he will just stand there and walk around. The bear will not even attack you if you shoot/punch it. This can be useful if you are on Master Hunter Rank 8, in which you'll need to kill a bear with the hunting knife and collect a bear pelt. Be aware that the cougar may have respawned once you resume your way up the cliffs. Killing the bear with a high-powered weapon, such as the Buffalo Rifle, can also be useful if you are on Sharpshooter Rank 7, in which you'll need to kill 3 bears each with one shot. Last but not least, skinning the bear can be useful for the Achievement/Trophy Bearly Legal, in which you'll have to kill and skin 18 grizzly bears.
• ◆After killing the cougar, John must climb a series of ledges going north. Once he has done that, there will be a ledge he must climb going west. Climb the ledge, and just a few feet in front of John will be a bald eagle that will fly off when you get close. You can shoot and kill the bird, but you won't be able to take any feathers (you can take feathers if you shoot it from below, it will fall off to where the cougar is).
• ◆This is the first mission in which the player encounters snow. It is also one of the few missions to require the player to neutralize an enemy without alerting anyone to their presence, another being The Great Mexican Train Robbery.
• ◆It is actually possible for the cougar to become friendly. Simply push the cougar off the ledge and it should survive the fall. Afterwards the cougar will simply wander around and ignore the player.
• ◆When encountering the cougar go to a point where you can see it, but it is not attacking you, then throw a stick of dynamite at it to receive the scrap for the Expert Hunter Outfit.
• ◆This is the only time the player may see Cochinay operating like an ordinary settlement.
• ◆The initial ledge which Nastas helps Marston climb cannot be grabbed in normal gameplay, even if the player manages a build some sort of leverage (Like dead horses).
• ◆If John shoots an animal while riding to Cochinay, Nastas will call him a "bastard".
• ◆The miner who attacks Nastas is actually the Red Dead Multiplayer character Quick Tom Candle.
• ◆In the opening cutscene, MacDougal offers John a syringe of cocaine, saying "It entirely restores the ego. Takes one back to a primal state." However, at least in Freudian psychology, the ego represents the opposite of a primal state, which is actually referred to as the "id".
