In Red Dead Redemption 2, side quests often provide deep insights into the moral struggles of Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang. Among these optional endeavors, the Money Lending and Other Sins IV mission stands out as a pivotal narrative moment during Chapter 3. Assigned by camp accountant Leopold Strauss, this quest forces players to collect debts from vulnerable individuals across the frontier.

Starting the Mission at Clemens Point

To begin this quest, Arthur must speak with Leopold Strauss at the Clemens Point camp after progressing through early Chapter 3 events. Strauss reveals two new debtors who have fallen behind on their repayments: Winton Holmes and Gwyn Hughes. Accepting the assignment marks both locations on your map, allowing you to choose which debt to collect first.

Understanding how debt collection fits into overall gang operations provides useful context for story progression.

Tracking Down Winton Holmes and the Cougar Hunt

Winton Holmes can be found camping in the wilderness north of Strawberry near Big Valley. Upon arrival, Arthur learns that Holmes cannot pay his debt with cash but offers a valuable white cougar pelt instead. Holmes convinces Arthur to accompany him into a nearby dark cave to hunt the elusive predator.

Inside the subterranean tunnels, the situation quickly turns dangerous when the cougar attacks and kills Holmes in the dark. Arthur must use his lantern and Dead Eye ability to track the beast and dispatch it safely. Once the creature is defeated, skinning the white cougar yields the pelt required to clear the debt at a local butcher.

Locating Gwyn Hughes in Rhodes

The second debtor, Gwyn Hughes, is situated behind the church in the town of Rhodes working as an undertaker. Hughes expresses a willingness to pay his debt but needs Arthur's assistance to grave-rob a valuable brooch from a recent burial. Arthur must clear nearby onlookers from the graveyard so Hughes can dig undisturbed.

To clear the area, Arthur can either persuade or intimidate the mourning couple standing near the grave plot. After the area is secured, stand guard at the graveyard gate to deter any incoming passersby while Hughes retrieves the item. Once finished, Hughes hands over the diamond brooch to cover his financial obligation to Strauss.

Completing the Mission and Returning Debts

With both the white cougar pelt and the diamond brooch in hand, Arthur must convert the pelt to cash at a butcher if he has not already. Afterward, return to the camp ledger at Clemens Point to deposit the full collection into the gang's shared fund. Depositing these payments completes the fourth installment of the debt collection storyline, reinforcing Arthur's growing distaste for loan sharking.
