Last update: Wednesday, September 28, 2022
Polite Society, Valentine Style is one of the missions available in Red Dead Redemption 2's second chapter. Arthur and a few other members of the gang visit a nearby town called Valentine. During this mission you can learn, i.e. how to purchase goods. The hero will also have to help two of his friends.
How to unlock: Speak with Uncle in the gang hideout in Horseshoe Overlook.
Walkthrough: Start riding towards Valentine town. Stay on the road displayed on the radar - thanks to that you will come across a coachman who lost his horses. Try to help him by catching one of the escaped animals. Slowly approach a scared horse, hold the lock-on button and press the button to calm the animal down. After that you will be able to get closer to the horse. Bring the animal to the coachman. This will give you positive honor points (reputation).
Continue your journey to Valentine. Park the stagecoach near the stable. Follow the Uncle to the general store. The mission requires you to purchase Ground Coffee. You can approach the shelve with coffee and find it yourself (see the picture above) or you can open the trade window by speaking with the trader. You can also make other purchases but this step is completely optional. Leave the shop.
Watch the cut-scene. Reach the place with arguing people. Speak with the man to chase him away. Next step is to find Karen. Go to the hotel. You can ask the receptionist for Karen's room or you can go straight on the upper floor. Karen is in the room 2B. You need to kick the door. After that you must fight with the man. Use blocks and dodges or simply focus on using regular attacks. Leave the hotel.
Chase the man who has recognized Arthur. Get on a random horse and start galloping. Be careful so you won't hit any obstacles or other riders. The chase is scripted. It ends when the horse throws the man off of its back. Approach the chasm. You can interrogate and then help the man or you can let him fall. If you help him, you will learn that his name is Jimmy Brooks. The man gives you a feather (you can sell it later).
Additional note - Go back on the horse you took in Valentine, and return the animal to its owner. This act will give you a few extra honor points. The owner of the horse should stay in the same place where you stole the animal - next to the Valentine hotel (see the picture above).
How to get a gold medal in Polite Society, Valentine Style
- Help the coachman by catching one of his horses - This has been described above. Follow the way marked by the game - thanks to that you won't miss this event.
- Find Karen in less than 45 seconds - This is an easy challenge. Don't speak with the receptionist. Instead, you should go straight to the room 2B located on the upper floor.
