How do I complete the “The King’s Son” mission without killing anyone?
The King''s Son is a mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 where Arthur Morgan is tasked with helping Rains Fall, the chief of the Wapiti Native American tribe, retrieve a stolen artifact from a military camp. Completing this mission without killing anyone is challenging but achievable with careful planning and stealth mechanics. Here''s a detailed guide to help you succeed.\n\nFirst, prepare for the mission by equipping the right tools. Before starting, ensure you have a bow with small game arrows or improved arrows, as these are silent and effective for stealth. Additionally, stock up on health tonics and snake oil to replenish your Dead Eye and health if things go wrong. Wear dark clothing to blend into the environment, as this reduces the chances of being spotted by guards.\n\nWhen the mission begins, follow Rains Fall to the military camp. As you approach, stay crouched and use the cover of trees and rocks to avoid detection. The camp is heavily guarded, so patience is key. Use your Eagle Eye ability to track enemy movements and identify patrol patterns. This will help you time your movements and avoid confrontation.\n\nOnce inside the camp, locate the tent where the artifact is stored. Use the bow to silently take out any guards blocking your path. Aim for headshots to ensure they are incapacitated instantly. If you are spotted, quickly retreat to a hidden area and wait for the guards to lose interest. Avoid using firearms, as the noise will alert the entire camp.\n\nAfter retrieving the artifact, exit the camp the same way you entered, staying low and using cover. If you are pursued, use Dead Eye to target and disable enemies without killing them. For example, shoot their weapons out of their hands or aim for their legs to slow them down. This allows you to escape without taking lives.\n\nOne common challenge is dealing with the camp''s dogs, which can detect you even when hidden. To avoid this, use predator bait or throw a piece of meat to distract them. Alternatively, use the bow to silently eliminate them if necessary. Remember, the goal is to avoid killing humans, but animals can be dealt with if absolutely required.\n\nFinally, once you and Rains Fall are safely away from the camp, the mission will conclude. Completing The King''s Son without killing anyone not only aligns with Rains Fall''s pacifist philosophy but also rewards you with a sense of accomplishment and a cleaner honor rating.\n\nIn summary, focus on stealth, use the bow for silent takedowns, and avoid direct confrontation. Plan your route carefully, and be prepared to adapt if things don''t go as planned. With patience and precision, you can complete this mission without taking a single life.
