Honor, Amongst Thieves is unlocked after completing Archaeology for Beginners.
Quest Giver: Captain Monroe
Chapter: 6
Region: New Hanover
Gold Medal Requirements:
- Recover the vaccine without being detected
- Complete within 5 minutes
Starting Location: Wapiti Indian Reservation, Ambarino
Talk to Captain Monroe
This is a relatively straightforward mission. Captain Monroe needs your help to steal some vaccine that the army had diverted away from the reservation. Meet with him in the reservation and skip the cinematic.
- GOLD MEDAL: Complete within 5 minutes
Follow Monroe on horseback and he will lead you to a good place to ambush the convoy that is carrying the vaccine.
When you reach the overlook, dismount and follow him to the edge.
He tells you to try to not be seen. Skip this cinematic.
Get back on your horse, and go down the sloping hill towards the road below so that you can come in behind the wagon without being seen.
Follow the wagon, staying behind it so that the drivers will not see you. Close the distance then come alongside the wagon near the back corner, so that you are prompted to jump to it.
Stay crouched and search the boxes on the wagon. Do not attack or interact with the soldiers driving the wagon.
- GOLD MEDAL: Recover the vaccine without being detected
Once you have the vaccines, jump over the side and get back on your horse.
Ride all the way back to the Wapiti Reservation to meet Captain Monroe.
Once there, hand over the medication to him to end the mission.
This finishes Honor, Amongst Thieves main mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. Now the next quest The Fine Art of Conversation starts.

You have to be absolutely flawless to meet this time limit. It’s not worth the frustration of trying.
This is relatively easy. Just skip all cinematics, push Monroe hard to the trigger point, ride to the right corner of the wagon wanna make sure and get to it before it hits the turn or ideally while it’s close to the intersection, jump off and ride hard to the drop off point. I have a Missouri Foxtrotter with a fast saddle and spurs Gerden Vequero I believe or something along that line.
As the post above states, this mission may be impossible on replay as you use the default horse. After you unhitch your horse at the start, you can jump with it to get ahead a little. Cinematic mode seems to be slower on the ride there, so don’t use it. When approaching the hill and your horse begins to walk, jump until Arthur automatically dismounts. Time should be around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Wait for the wagon to pass and catch up to it. Let off a bit as you approach or you’ll pass the wagon. Hold steady to jump. Move Arthur back a little once on the wagon to make the search prompt appear and then jump out to your horse. You should jump out around the intersection where they turn. Quickly take the road back and once in camp jump with your horse all the way to the tent until Arthur dismounts. I finished around 4 minutes 50 seconds, so time is tight
3 things to do to save time :
1. You should NOT use cinematic view, which is 100% going to slow you down in this mission. Plus you can not just follow the captain. You have to keep pressing x that makes you parallel to him and force him to ride a bit faster.
2. Relax and just hold x when you getting close to the wagon. Otherwise you will by past it and those two on it will spot you. Make sure you are kind of parallel and have some distance to the wagon or you may fail getting on.
3. When you back to camp you can jump over some stones with your house when get to the tent instead of waking slowly to it
Method that worked for me to get gold:
-Skipped first cinematic, watched mid and last one.
-Headshot the two soldiers on the wagon from a distance under same deadeye paint. Shouldn’t count as ‘getting detected’.
-Used jump on horse or on Arthur when forced to walk/trot.
