What’s the best way to complete “The New South” with high honor?

Completing ''The New South'' mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 with high honor requires careful decision-making and adherence to honorable behavior throughout the mission. This mission is part of Chapter 4 and involves Arthur Morgan and Dutch van der Linde meeting with Angelo Bronte, a powerful figure in Saint Denis. To maintain high honor, you must avoid unnecessary violence, make morally sound choices, and focus on diplomacy.\n\nAt the start of the mission, you and Dutch will travel to Bronte''s mansion in Saint Denis. During the carriage ride, Dutch will discuss his plans, but your actions during the mission will determine your honor level. When you arrive at the mansion, you will be disarmed by Bronte''s men. This is a scripted event, so there is no way to avoid it. However, staying calm and respectful during the conversation with Bronte will help maintain your honor.\n\nAfter the meeting, Bronte will send you to retrieve his stolen goods from a group of thieves. This is where your choices matter most. When you arrive at the thieves'' hideout, you will have the option to either confront them aggressively or negotiate peacefully. To maintain high honor, choose the peaceful approach. Use the ''Greet'' option to talk to the thieves and attempt to resolve the situation without violence. If they refuse to cooperate, you may need to defend yourself, but avoid killing unnecessarily. Focus on disarming or incapacitating enemies rather than killing them.\n\nOnce you retrieve the stolen goods, return to Bronte''s mansion. During the final confrontation, Bronte will test your loyalty by asking you to kill one of the thieves. To maintain high honor, refuse to kill the thief. This decision will slightly lower your honor, but it is outweighed by the positive honor gained from earlier actions. If you choose to kill the thief, your honor will drop significantly, so it is best to avoid this option.\n\nThroughout the mission, pay attention to your surroundings and avoid collateral damage. For example, if you are chased by lawmen or bystanders, try to escape rather than engage in combat. Killing innocent NPCs or lawmen will lower your honor, so prioritize non-lethal methods of dealing with threats. Additionally, if you encounter random events on the way to or from the mission, such as helping strangers in need, take the time to assist them. These small acts of kindness will boost your honor and offset any minor losses.\n\nTo summarize, the best way to complete ''The New South'' with high honor is to prioritize diplomacy, avoid unnecessary violence, and make morally sound choices. Use peaceful negotiation when possible, refuse to kill the thief at Bronte''s request, and avoid harming innocent bystanders. By following these steps, you can complete the mission while maintaining or even increasing your honor level.\n\nPractical tips for maintaining high honor during this mission include keeping your weapons holstered unless absolutely necessary, using non-lethal takedowns during combat, and taking advantage of random honor-boosting opportunities in the open world. Remember that your honor level affects the game''s ending, so it is worth the effort to stay on the honorable path.
