I Know You

Part 1

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed the mission “A Tempest Looms” to unlock.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

You'll encounter a man in a suit and top hat South-West of MacFarlane's Ranch, looking out across the canyon towards Nuevo Paraiso.

Approach him and press Circle to "Talk to the man".

"Hello, John. John Marston" says the strange man.

"Do I know you?" asks Marston.

"I hope so. I seem to know you" replies the man.

"I'm pretty good at remembering faces" explains John.

"Are you? Do you remember Heidi McCourt's face?" asks the man, before explaining to John, who can't seem to remember, "She was a girl Dutch van der Linde shot in the head on that raid on the ferry a few years back. Same one you got shot on. Pretty girl, until her eye was hanging out by a thread of tendon and her brain was plastered over a wall".

"Not really" replies Marston.

"Then why would you remember me, friend? You've forgotten far more important people than me".

The Strange Man then explains he has a drunken friend in Thieves' Landing who may be unfaithful to his wife. He wants John to go over and advise the man on how best to proceed.

You're then told to "Visit the Strange Man's friend in Thieves' Landing".

Part 2

REQUIREMENTS:

• Must have completed "I Know You" Part 1.

LOCATION:

WALKTHROUGH:

Make your way to Thieves' Landing. When you arrive in the area, you'll see a message from the game which explains "This gentleman must be the mysterious stranger's friend. Perhaps you should give him some advice".

Make your way to the Saloon in the center of town and you'll spot the man in front of the building, talking to a woman against the wall.

Approach him and you'll be given two choices:

• Press Triangle to "Encourage the man. (Give $15)"
  • Result: -$15, -20 Honor
• Press Circle to "Discourage the man".
  • Result: +15 Honor

With your decision made, watch the resulting cutscene.

If you chose to discourage the man, Marston will explain to the man that his wife loves him and he's making a mistake.

He realizes what he's doing is wrong and gets rid of the girl who walks away annoyed at her lack of business.

John then leaves the man to think about the consequences of his actions.

I Know You complete.
