What are the best strategies for the "The Course of True Love" side mission?
The ''The Course of True Love'' side mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a multi-part quest involving Penelope Braithwaite and Beau Gray, two lovers from feuding families. This mission requires careful planning, stealth, and combat skills. The mission begins in Chapter 4 when you encounter Penelope near the Braithwaite Manor in Rhodes. She asks for your help to deliver a letter to Beau, who resides at Caliga Hall. This mission is divided into three parts, each with unique challenges.\n\nIn the first part, you must deliver Penelope''s letter to Beau. Head to Caliga Hall, located southeast of Rhodes. Be cautious, as the area is heavily guarded by Gray family members. Use stealth to avoid detection by crouching and moving slowly. If you are spotted, you can either fight your way through or flee and return later. Once inside, locate Beau near the stables. Deliver the letter and return to Penelope to complete the first part.\n\nThe second part involves helping Penelope and Beau escape their families. Penelope will ask you to meet her at Braithwaite Manor at night. Sneak into the manor grounds, avoiding guards by sticking to the shadows. Use distractions like throwing rocks to lure guards away. Once inside, meet Penelope in her room and help her escape. You will need to fight off Braithwaite guards as you make your way to the stables. Use cover and Dead Eye to take out enemies efficiently. After escaping, ride with Penelope to the train station in Rhodes.\n\nThe final part of the mission takes place at the train station. Beau will join you, and you must protect the couple from both Braithwaite and Gray family members. Position yourself strategically, using the station''s cover to avoid enemy fire. Focus on taking out enemies with ranged weapons like rifles or revolvers. Dead Eye is particularly useful here for quickly eliminating multiple targets. Once the enemies are defeated, escort Penelope and Beau to the train and watch them depart.\n\nCommon challenges in this mission include dealing with the large number of enemies and navigating the stealth sections. For the stealth parts, ensure you have a silenced weapon like the Varmint Rifle or Bow to take out guards quietly. If combat becomes unavoidable, stock up on health tonics and ammunition before starting the mission. Use Dead Eye to gain an advantage in firefights, and always aim for headshots to conserve ammo.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before starting each part of the mission. This allows you to retry if things go wrong. Additionally, equip yourself with high-damage weapons like the Lancaster Repeater or Pump-Action Shotgun for the combat-heavy sections. Finally, take your time during stealth sections, as rushing can lead to unnecessary confrontations. By following these strategies, you can successfully complete ''The Course of True Love'' and help Penelope and Beau find happiness.
