How do I complete "The New South" without failing the stealth section?

Completing the stealth section in ''The New South'' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can avoid detection and succeed. This mission requires Arthur and Dutch to infiltrate the Braithwaite Manor to retrieve a stolen item. The stealth section begins after you enter the manor grounds, and failing it will result in a shootout, which can be avoided with careful planning.\n\nFirst, ensure you are equipped with a bow and arrows, as they are silent and ideal for stealth kills. You can craft or purchase arrows before starting the mission. Additionally, wear darker clothing to blend into the shadows, as this reduces the chances of being spotted. The mission starts at night, so visibility is already low, but staying in the shadows is crucial.\n\nWhen you enter the manor grounds, follow Dutch closely and crouch to stay hidden. Use the cover of bushes and walls to avoid being seen by patrolling guards. Pay attention to the guard patterns—they move in predictable routes, and you can time your movements to avoid them. If a guard is blocking your path, use the bow to silently eliminate them. Aim for headshots to ensure they go down instantly without alerting others.\n\nAs you progress, you’ll encounter a guard near a lantern. This is a critical point where many players fail. Wait for the guard to turn away, then sneak up behind him and perform a stealth takedown. Alternatively, shoot the lantern to create darkness, which will make it harder for other guards to spot you. However, be cautious, as the sound of the lantern breaking can attract attention if done carelessly.\n\nAfter dealing with the guards, you’ll need to enter the manor. Stay crouched and move slowly. Inside, there are more guards, but they are less vigilant. Use the same stealth tactics to avoid detection. If you are spotted, quickly eliminate the guard before they can raise an alarm. However, if the alarm is raised, the mission will transition into a shootout, which is harder to manage.\n\nOnce you retrieve the item, exit the manor carefully. Follow the same stealth path you used to enter, avoiding guards and staying in the shadows. If you’ve cleared the area properly, you should be able to leave without further issues. Rejoin Dutch, and the mission will conclude successfully.\n\nTo summarize, the key to completing the stealth section is patience and precision. Use the bow for silent kills, stay in the shadows, and time your movements to avoid detection. Pay attention to guard patterns and eliminate threats quietly. If you follow these steps, you can complete ''The New South'' without failing the stealth section.\n\nPractical tips: Save your game before starting the mission in case you need to retry. Use Dead Eye to ensure accurate headshots with the bow. If you’re struggling, consider replaying earlier missions to practice stealth mechanics. Remember, stealth is about patience—rushing will almost always lead to failure.
