I Know You

Of all the strangers, this guy is the strangest. His head is definitely in the clouds.

Rewards: Up to +$315, up to +50 Fame, up to +15 Honor

NOTE: This stranger mission is only available before "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed". It does not need to be completed. It does not count towards 100% completion.

Part 1

Speak to a man (The Strange Man) southwest of MacFarlane's Ranch. As he looks out across the canyon he greets John who is walking up behind him. John cannot remember meeting the man but the stranger knows quite a bit about John's past and people in it - more than even John knows.

John questions what the man wants. The Strange Man says he has a drunken friend in Thieves' Landing who may not stay faithful to his wife. He wants John to go over and advise the man on what to do.


Ride to the saloon in Thieves' Landing. When you approach the man you are given a choice to make. Either dissuade the drunken man with talk or persuade him with money:

• Dissuade: +15 Honor
• Persuade: -$15, -20 Honor

With your decision made, watch the resulting cutscene and Part 1 is complete.

Part 2

Speak with The Strange Man at his campsite on a rock formation south of El Matadero. He greets John - who still does not remember who he is. The Strange Man continues to talk about John's past and morality. He goes on to say that there is an old nun taking money she raised to the bank. He wants John to go over and see if he can keep robbers away... or rob her himself.

Ride to Las Hermanas and find the nun to the left of the entrance. When you approach the nun you are given a choice to make. Either donate money or rob her at gunpoint:

• Donate: -$10, +35 Honor (Note: Only given honor if you persuaded the drunk in Part 1)
• Rob: ~$315, +50 Fame, -120 Honor

With your decision made, watch the result and Part 2 is complete.

Part 3

Speak with The Strange Man on the cliff overlooking Beecher's Hope. He remarks how this spot is beautiful. John tries to get the man's name but he toys with John and makes him angry. The Strange Man again says this spot is fine and walks away. John draws his gun and fires a few shots at him. The Strange Man does not take any hits - as if they went right through him.

Tips

• Note: As stated at the top of this guide, this stranger mission is only available before "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed". You will notice a reference in that mission.
• For Part 1 ride to Thieves' Landing and make a decision.
• For Part 2 ride to Las Hermanas and make a decision. If you choose to rob the nun you will gain a wanted level shortly after. Killing the nun will fail the quest and then you'll need to retry later.
• For Part 3 simply talk with The Strange Man.
