How do you complete the "The Wisdom of the Elders" side mission?

The Wisdom of the Elders is a unique side mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 that involves helping a Native American elder named Rains Fall. This mission becomes available in Chapter 6 and is tied to the main story, offering insight into the struggles of the Wapiti Native American tribe. To start the mission, you must first progress through the main story until you reach Chapter 6 and receive a letter from Rains Fall at your camp. The letter will direct you to meet him near the Wapiti Indian Reservation, located northeast of Valentine in the Grizzlies East region.\n\nOnce you arrive at the designated meeting spot, Rains Fall will explain that he needs your help to retrieve sacred herbs stolen by the U.S. Army. These herbs are essential for his people''s spiritual practices. The mission involves stealth and careful planning, as you will need to infiltrate an Army camp to recover the herbs. Before heading to the camp, Rains Fall will give you a special tonic that reduces your visibility and noise, making it easier to sneak past guards.\n\nThe Army camp is located near Fort Wallace, a heavily guarded area. Approach the camp cautiously, using the tonic provided by Rains Fall to remain undetected. Use cover, such as tall grass or rocks, to avoid being spotted by patrolling soldiers. The herbs are stored in a small tent near the center of the camp. You can either sneak in quietly or distract the guards by throwing objects like rocks to create noise and draw them away from the tent.\n\nOnce you retrieve the herbs, you must escape the camp without being detected. If you are spotted, the mission will fail, and you will need to restart from the last checkpoint. After successfully escaping, return to Rains Fall at the Wapiti Reservation to complete the mission. He will express his gratitude and reward you with a unique item, the Eagle Talon, which can be used to craft a special trinket at a Fence.\n\nThis mission emphasizes stealth and patience, so take your time to observe guard patterns and plan your movements carefully. If you are struggling with the stealth mechanics, consider saving your game before attempting the mission so you can reload if things go wrong. Additionally, wearing clothing with high stealth stats, such as the Legendary Panther Cloak, can help you remain undetected.\n\nPractical tips for completing The Wisdom of the Elders include using Dead Eye to mark enemies if combat becomes unavoidable and keeping your horse nearby for a quick escape. Remember to use the environment to your advantage, such as hiding behind wagons or using the terrain to break line of sight with guards. This mission not only provides a meaningful story but also rewards you with valuable items, making it a worthwhile endeavor in Red Dead Redemption 2.
