Money Lending and Other Sins - IV

Money Lending and Other Sins - IV is an optional story mission in Red Dead Redemption 2 given by Leopold Strauss, as part of Chapter 3.

It's the 28° mission in chronological order of the RDR2 story mode, played with protagonist Arthur Morgan.

While optional for story progression, this is an Optional Honor Mission required for the "Lending a Hand" Trophy/Achievement. It's a time-sensitive and missable mission, so it can only be played at this specific point in the story.

Money Lending and Other Sins - IV - Mission Details:

Gwyn Hughes

Gwyn Hughes is found in Rhodes, outside the house neighboring the gunsmith. After you confront him, follow him to the churchyard, clear out the townsfolk in the area, then return to him.

While he exhumes a body, stand guard at the entrance and stop anyone from entering. When two men try to go through regardless, you can either beat them up or scare them off by pointing your gun at them. Take the diamond brooch from Gwyn to complete the assignment.

Winton Holmes

Winton Holmes has set up camp an the heights just north of Strawberry. He has no cash to repay his debt to the Van Der Linde gang, and so decides to hunt a rare White Cougar in the hopes of slaying it and selling its pelt.

Follow him to the cougar's den, but make sure you are well prepared before you enter. This is probably the most difficult of all loansharking missions. The predator you're about to face is agile and extremely dangerous, with the lack of light in the cave further complicating matters.

After you split up at the fork, you will soon hear that Winton is under attack. When you find his body, stay there as his lantern offers a precious source of light. Equip a powerful, fast-firing weapon and look out for a red dot on your radar: as soon as it appears, face the corresponding direction and immediately trigger Dead Eye to eliminate the cougar. Once it's dead, skin it and sell the pelt to Strawberry's butcher.
