How do I complete "The Course of True Love V" without being detected?
Completing ''The Course of True Love V'' without being detected in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires careful planning, stealth, and understanding of the game''s mechanics. This mission involves sneaking into the Braithwaite Manor to retrieve a family heirloom for Penelope Braithwaite. Detection will result in mission failure, so stealth is paramount.\n\nFirst, ensure you are equipped with the right tools. Before starting the mission, stock up on items like Throwing Knives, a Bow with Small Game Arrows, and a silenced weapon like the Varmint Rifle. These tools allow you to eliminate guards quietly without alerting others. Additionally, wear dark clothing to blend into the night environment, as the mission takes place after sunset.\n\nWhen the mission begins, follow Beau Gray and Penelope to the outskirts of Braithwaite Manor. After the cutscene, you will be tasked with sneaking into the manor. Use the cover of darkness and crouch to stay hidden. The game''s stealth mechanics rely on staying out of enemy sightlines and avoiding noise. Move slowly and use the environment, such as bushes and walls, to break line of sight with patrolling guards.\n\nAs you approach the manor, you will encounter several guards. Use Dead Eye to mark and eliminate them silently. If you prefer a non-lethal approach, you can also use the Bow with Small Game Arrows to knock them out temporarily. Be mindful of their patrol routes and timing to avoid being spotted. For example, one guard patrols near the entrance gate, while another stands near the fountain. Wait for them to turn their backs before moving.\n\nOnce inside the manor, stick to the shadows and avoid open areas. The heirloom is located in a locked room on the second floor. Use the stairs on the left side of the building to avoid detection. If you encounter a guard inside, use a Throwing Knife or melee attack to take them down quietly. Be cautious of the maid, as she can alert others if she sees you.\n\nAfter retrieving the heirloom, exit the manor the same way you entered. Avoid running, as the noise can attract attention. If you are detected at any point, quickly eliminate the guard who spotted you before they can raise the alarm. However, if the alarm is raised, the mission will fail, and you will need to restart.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before starting the mission. This allows you to retry if something goes wrong. Additionally, use Eagle Eye to track enemy movements and plan your route. Finally, practice patience—rushing increases the risk of detection. By following these steps and utilizing stealth mechanics effectively, you can complete ''The Course of True Love V'' without being detected.\n\nIn summary, stealth, preparation, and patience are key to completing this mission. Equip the right tools, use the environment to your advantage, and eliminate threats quietly. With careful planning, you can successfully retrieve the heirloom and complete the mission undetected.
