How To Get To New Austin As Arthur Chapter 2 |
Approaching the Impassable: Methods (Not Exactly Recommended by Dutch)
Method 1: The Sneaky Saint Denis Stagecoach (Emphasis on Sneaky)
This one involves hitching a ride on a stagecoach leaving Saint Denis for Blackwater. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! You'll need the reflexes of a hummingbird on Red Bull to hop on unnoticed. Here's the gist:
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
- Step 1: The Art of Distraction - Cause a ruckus in Saint Denis. Get the lawmen chasing you (don't worry, you can lose them later). The idea is to distract everyone while you...
- Step 2: Become One with the Stagecoach - As the stagecoach pulls up, make a daring leap (and a silent prayer) to land on the back. Bonus points for style, but landing alive is preferable.
- Step 3: The Great Escape (Hopefully) - Once out of Saint Denis, deal with the unwanted attention from the guards (calmly, of course). You might need to hightail it out of there once you reach Blackwater.
Method 2: The Bravado Bonanza (For the Reckless at Heart)
This method involves waltzing straight into New Austin with your guns blazing. Not recommended for the faint of heart (or those who enjoy a peaceful stroll through nature).
QuickTip: Repetition reinforces learning.
- Step 1: Channel Your Inner John Wayne - Stock up on provisions, ammo, and a whole lot of courage. You'll be facing a relentless onslaught of lawmen.
- Step 2: Punching Through the Law - Just ride straight into New Austin. Be prepared for a never-ending shootout. This is basically a test of your trigger finger's endurance.
- Step 3: Dodge, Dip, Duck, Dive, and...Survive? - If you manage to survive the onslaught, well, congratulations! You've made it... mostly. Just remember, staying alive in New Austin with a six-star wanted level is a whole other story.
Remember, these methods are risky and not exactly endorsed by the Van der Linde gang's health and safety committee (if such a thing existed). Proceed with caution, and maybe pack a good lawyer on your horse.
A Word to the Wise: Alternative Solutions
Look, partner, there's a reason New Austin is off-limits for Arthur in Chapter 2. The story unfolds in a specific way for a reason. But hey, if you're just curious about the landscape, here are some (perfectly legal) alternatives:
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
- Wait Until Chapter 4: Patience is a virtue, especially in the Wild West. New Austin opens up naturally as the story progresses.
- Explore Everywhere Else: The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is vast and beautiful! There's plenty to see and do in other regions while you wait.
