He's British, of Course (2024)

He's British, of Course is a Stranger mission featured in Red Dead Redemption 2. The quest becomes available during Chapter 3.

Story[]

Part I[]

The mission begins once the player finds a destroyed caravan in Lemoyne. Beside it is a man called Margaret, a circus performer who dresses as a woman and fights exotic animals.

He informs the player his three animals, a zebra, lion and tiger, have escaped and are on the loose. He asks for the player's help to find his missing creatures.

Part II[]

The player needs to find a zebra and return it to Margaret. After finding and lassoing the zebra, the player notices that it isn't really a zebra, just a mule painted in zebra colors.

Part III[]

The player has to help Margaret's assistant, Sally Nash, to find the "tiger". Sally states that she sent a dog made to look like a lion search for the "tiger". She asks the player to look for the dog, which is found dead. Sally reveals that the "tiger" is actually a cougar wearing paint. The player uses the dead dog as bait for the cougar's cage and hides behind a log until the cougar comes. After the cougar enters the cage the player closes the door and drives it back to Margaret.

Part IV[]

Margaret instructs the player to find his lion in the area around Emerald Ranch. Upon arriving there the player spots two scared men holding the barn doors. The player investigates the barn, and suddenly the lion escapes, killing a man in front of the barn; the player realizes that it is a real lion and that it's not a fake. The player chases the lion to a nearby stable where he kills it.

Part V[]

The player returns to Margaret and Sally to tell them what happened and berates Margaret for not telling them that the lion was a real one and the deaths in Emerald Ranch. As they are leaving, Margaret gives the player an emerald as a reward for helping him to return his animals.

Missable Items in the Mission[]

• Lion's Paw: Can be taken as a reward after killing a lion.

Trivia[]

• The player is able to follow Margaret and Sally after the last part of the mission after they leave with the wagons. Following them leads them through Rhodes, where they then turn around and go through Emerald Ranch. Margaret and Sally then pass Guthrie Farm, pass Emerald Station, and go back through Emerald Ranch. Margaret will also comment on the player following them.
• The fake "zebra" is a reference to the last unlockable mount in Red Dead Redemption: Multiplayer, the Zebra Donkey.
• If the protagonist rides the "zebra" while returning it, any passing NPCs on horses will laugh and taunt them about it.
• In the first Red Dead Redemption, multiple NPCs gossip about a cougar, tiger, or lion being held in a barn by the residents of Hennigan's Stead. This concept was later reused in the fourth part of these series of missions.
• The PED model of the lion has a scar on his right eye, which may be a subtle reference to Scar from The Lion King.
• The player can take the lion's paw as a trophy - the scene where Doctor Frankenstein murders the circus lion and then tries to steal its paw from the 2015 movie Victor Frankenstein.
