Arthur's Shortcut to Blackwater for Horseman 9 in Red Dead Redemption 2

It is normally hard to do the ride to Blackwater as Arthur Morgan because of the wanted level. Here's how to take a shortcut over a bridge to avoid getting shot so much.
The AI voice is trained on 10 minutes of in-game dialogue.

NEW EASIER STRATEGY: Go near the edge of the southern farthest peninsula in Big Horn Valley that is southeast to Riggs Station and Lone Mule Stead and you will complete Horseman 9 challenge without even having step foot in Blackwater. It somehow counts it as being in Blackwater.Which means it's alot quicker and you also dont have to deal with your horse making the broken bridge jump or deal with Pinkertons.

When leveling up your horse by leading it around, putting an animal carcass on the back of your horse will level it up 5x faster than without it. With the animal corpse you get 20xp every 25 seconds compared to 4xp every 25 seconds without it which will save you hours

[@juliangrant9718]

This is the one challenge I thought should definitely go to Arthur. He has the most experience with horses throughout the game more than John since you go through a majority of the horse breeds. You're left with the best horse when you're using John so it feels unearned. And since the mechanics make you more involved in the horses health and experience I just think Arthur is a better choice than John. It made more sense to make John a herbalist since it's a way to give John something for exploring the map again as a "new" character. John will become a horsemaster in RDR1.

Dude! Best video ever! You have to do more like this! I also can confirm that rain does not ruin this challenge.

Also, when you get to the broken bridge, brush your horse, use some health fortifier, like moonshine or potent health cure and also a minty big game. I also find that if you run on a rail on the train tracks, it seems to speed up. It’s riskier, but faster. Hope this helps!

[@ErrantJourney]

Any spot on the map that shows water, will automatically disqualify the challenge if you touch it. Unfortunately, the river crossing to rescue Sean shows as water on the map. There are areas that are water at your location, but does not show on the map as water, Dewberry Creek has many areas like this. The bridge jump path in this video or the long way around Owanjilla Lake (the dam) are the only two ways to get to Blackwater for the challenge without touching water.

[@Joshua-fi4ji]

​@@ErrantJourney so basically Rockstar badly coded this challenge and going through the creek is essentially a loophole. Same logic as following your satnav into a lake because your satnav doesn't know about the lake.

[@ErrantJourney]

@@Joshua-fi4ji Maybe, but I don't think the coding was bad. I think Rockstar did this for the very reason why people find this so confusing. Is it water? Is it not water? Let's make it to where they will just have to find out on their own. Bottom line is if is is showing up as water, then avoid it. When you test everything you possibly can, you find out there are only two paths to take to Blackwater as Arthur or John for the challenge. I've even seen videos where you can cross the beaver dam with all the wood over the river and still complete the challenge. It's crazy.

Just discovered this, I'm going to binge this channel

I genuinely can't tell if this is a AI Voiceover or an actual VA.

[@thestrong2401]

I don't like when games pose this limitations where you can't go to a certain part of the map to explore until the game says so, I dont get why rockstar continues to do that since gta times

[@grikkajunior]

My guess if nothing else is to give people somewhere to explore in the epilogue

[@ErrantJourney]

Especially since Arthur has the animation and voice lines with other NPC's for Blackwater and other areas in New Austin. He will even draw in his journal when studying points of interest on that side of the map. Rockstar should have given us a remastered definitive version of RDR2 uncut and whole. They could've still had the game end the way it is now.

[@sangun123]

its for story pacing, they're not trying to satisfy completitionists that just want to do everything with arthur, they're trying to tell a specific narrative that flows, even in GTA, the locations are used as a progression of story

[@user-ny8nw8yl3u]

Agreed.

Great video man!

[@hannahb9671]

Just completed this in one go thanks to your video! Had to practice the bridge a few times but my trusty thoroughbred made it across. Thanks!
