Where Your Morals Lead You Guide – Red Dead Online

After completing the three Sheriff missions and returning to Horley in Blackwater, Horley will direct you to Marshal Davies for your next task. Marshal Davies is located just north of Manzanita Post at a campsite. Follow this guide to help you complete Where Your Morals Lead You.
Starting the Where Your Morals Lead You Mission
To access this mission, you must first complete the three Sheriff missions assigned by Horley. Once these are finished, Horley will send you to Marshal Davies. You can find him at a campsite just north of Manzanita Post.
The mission itself involves tracking down Alfredo Montez, the leader of a band of killers, in Tall Trees. Your goal is to bring Montez to justice. The mission requires 2-4 players.
Follow the Marshal to Manzanita Post
When you meet the Marshal, he’ll take you to Manzanita Post to meet a tracker named Lee. Lee will help you track Montez’s location, but be ready—Marshal Davies favors an aggressive approach, so expect plenty of action. Once you arrive at Manzanita Post, follow Lee as he tracks Montez’s whereabouts.
Tracking and Stealth vs. Gunfight
As Lee leads the way, you’ll come across multiple locations where you’ll encounter enemies. The mission can be approached in two ways: stealth or full-on combat.
For stealth:
- You can silently take out enemies or avoid them altogether at certain points, reducing reinforcements.
For gunfights:
- If you choose to engage enemies, be ready for reinforcements at each location.
Here’s a breakdown of the spots where you’ll encounter enemies:
- Patrol on Pathway: You can either kill or let them pass.
- Enemies at Campsite: Must be killed.
- Enemies at Tanning Rack: Must be killed.
- Group by Barrels and on Road: Must be killed.
- Patrol on Pathway: You can either kill or let them pass.
Your approach to these encounters determines how many enemies you’ll face when you reach Alfredo Montez.
Take Out Montez and His Gang
When you reach the final area, you’ll need to take out Montez and his gang. The number of enemies you face will depend on how stealthy you’ve been. If you’ve avoided combat, there will be fewer enemies to fight. Work your way through the camp, eliminating enemies as you go, until you confront Montez. Once you defeat him, a cutscene will play where Lee decapitates Montez.
Escape to Manzanita Post
With Montez’s head in hand, it’s time to head back to Manzanita Post. Get on your horse and ride down the trail, but be prepared: enemies will attack you from all sides. You’ll need to fight or evade these attackers while making your way to the post. Once you reach Manzanita Post, the mission will end.
