This chapter is more combat-heavy and will have you taking up various missions across the southeastern part of the world map.
Red Dead Redemption Chapter 3 Walkthrough
We cover all the story missions of Chapter 3: Clemens Point in this walkthrough. Each story mission is accompanied by the requirements to get a Gold medal in them. Note that these stories don’t necessarily have to be played in this order.
The New South
Gold Medal Requirements:
- Catch and return Anders Anderson to jail within 5 mins 30 seconds
- Knock out Anders Anderson without taking a hit
- Catch a fish with Dutch and Hosea
Head over to Dutch at the shore. Follow him and Hosea until you run into Trelawny. Once the cutscene plays out, head to the train quickly.
Keep your weapon holstered and keep pace with the train to arrest the Andersons before the train is out of the sheriff’s jurisdiction.
Get alongside the carriage with the crates and jump to it. Break free from the foe that grabs you, and continue your chase on the train.
Once the fight starts with one of them, use what you’ve learned about melee combat to knock him out. Head to the final carriage and take out the second fugitive in a similar way.
Pick him up and stow him on your horse, then follow Archibald all the way to Rhodes. Drop Anders Anderson outside the sheriff’s office.
You then have the option to go fishing with Hosea. You can accept the invitation or refuse. If you refuse, the mission ends here.
If you accept, ride your house and follow your friends until you reach a boat. Equip the fishing rod at the fishing spot and cast the line. You should have the basic fishing skills down from Chapter 2’s fishing endeavors with Jack.
Put away your fishing rod when you’re ready to head back, then row back to the camp to complete the mission.

There will be a number of guards on your mini-map here. It’s best to avoid them by taking the longer route and swimming through the small cove to reach Penelope.

Equip your dynamite and plant a stick in the marked area. Ignite it, then retreat and watch it blow up. Head over to Bill’s position and help him take out the Lemoyne Raiders. This is a large shootout, so be patient and stay protected.
Push through the camp and make sure you take out the foes in the cabins.

From there, head back to Rhodes and park the wagon outside the saloon. Pick up the moonshine at the back of the wagon and take it behind the bar. Follow the instructions until Lemoyne Raiders barge into the saloon.
Here, you can use Deadeye and perform multiple headshots behind the bar. When Hosea calls for help, kill any remaining foe and head upstairs.
Use any Deadeye you have remaining to get a clean headshot of the raider threatening Hosea. Kill the remaining two men and jump on the wagon below.

Head back outside and ride to follow the tracks. You will eventually come to a small camp at the edge of the forest. A fistfight will ensue. Quickly take out the enemies using blocking and counter-attacks.
Once both are down, interrogate the one restrained by Charles until he reveals Trelawny’s location. You can choose to kill him or release him; doing the latter will grant you honor.

An escape sequence will begin. You will need to gallop at full speed. A large number of riders will catch up with you.
Use Deadeye to take as many headshots as possible. Be careful because the terrain up ahead is tricky, so you cannot just have your head turned the entire time.
Eventually, the numbers of the pursuers will dwindle. After the cutscene, a major shootout will take place at the barn. Use cover and pick your targets carefully.
Don’t rush, as there is no time requirement for the medal. Make sure you take accurate shots.
Once your party leaves the barn, follow Uncle in the woods. Take cover with him behind a rock, wait until two guards walk past your position, and then take them down stealthily. Help Uncle in taking down his opponent.

Talk to Lenny at the camp to start this mission. Follow him to an abandoned church. Here, you will need to tail the wagon from a safe distance. Dismount your horse near Shady Belle mansion and equip your rolling black rifle.
Take cover behind the marked wall, just across from Lenny. Use the scope of your rifle to investigate the area.
You can now either commence the chaos by shooting the dynamites or send Lenny to create a distraction and take out the enemies by surprise.
The second choice is much better. Regardless of what you choose, you will need to pick enemies out with your sniper rifle. Stay at the starting position and do this for the best effectiveness. Two set-piece events will occur in this battle.
Lenny will wrestle with an opponent and you can help him, and the second one will have a foreman a Gatling gun on the balcony above. Eliminate this foe immediately with your sniper rifle to prevent any complications.
Once all the enemies are dead, hope inside the back of the wagon and drive back to the camp. You will come across additional raiders. Take them out without getting into a conversation using Deadeye. Drive back to the camp to finish the mission.
Sodom? Back to Gomorrah
Gold Medal Requirements:
- Loot all the safes
- Headshot five mounted lawmen during the escape
- Get to the Downes ranch within 1 minute 55 seconds
- Finish with at least 70% accuracy
- Complete the mission without consuming any health items
Talk to Bill in a wagon at the edge of the camp. Follow him to Valentine to rob the bank. You will need to tell how Karen distracts the guards.
Both options are identical, so choose either one. Once you’re inside, open the teller’s door and force him to open the vault.
You now have a major decision to make: you can either crack the safes or blow them up. The latter will involve a lot of fighting, so we highly recommend you don’t go through it. Cracking the safes is a lot safer and quieter.
Each safe has three numbers that need to be cracked. Slowly rotate your left stick counterclockwise, then clockwise, then counterclockwise again. The controller vibrations will intensify whenever you’re close to the correct number.
There are five safes in total. Here are the numbers, from left safe to right:
- 34, 69, 22
- 16, 40, 55
- 37, 1, 69
- 15, 7, 55
- 68, 12, 38
Once you have everything you need, it’s time to escape. Throughout the escape, you will be chased by multiple waves of lawmen.
Here you should use Deadeye to get five clean headshots. Once the group splits up, ride to Downes Ranch to complete the mission.

A cutscene will occur after which you will be hanging upside down. Tilt your left analog stick from side to side and swing to your shackles to reach the metal file on the table.
Grab it once it’s within your grasp, and then follow the onscreen instructions to cauterize the wounds. Stealth kill the O’Driscoll that enters the cabin.
Head outside and kill the two nearby guards with your throwing knives. These same men beat you. Once you’re done, recover your weapons by the shed door. Walk up to your horse by the campfire, and leave on the path to the east.
