Red Dead Redemption 2: Cure for sickness
Spoiler Alert: Anyone who reached Chapter 5 of RDR2 would know that Arthur Morgan was diagnosed with Tuberculosis, which in the year of 1899 is as good as cancer with no known cure. Does that really mean there is no cure in the game for it ? … think again!
In this post, I will mention the cure for the sickness and how to acquire it. Before which we need to understand what sickness in RDR2 really means.
Understanding Sickness in RDR2
Firstly, lets understand the definition of ‘sickness’ in RDR2.
The default time it takes for your core to drain is 90 mins. At “Sick” status that time is reduced to 85 mins (~7% increase in core drain speed) and at “Very Sick” its reduced to 75 (~15% increase in core drain speed). You gain this status during the mission “A Fork in the Road” in Chapter 5.
Which means we will need to acquire an item which permanently reduces the core drain speed by 15%, thus cancelling out the effects of the sickness which technically speaking is a cure!
It so happens that there is such an item named “Owl Feather Trinket” in RDR2 which can be acquired as part of a unique mission and moreover, only if done in a particular way.
