I think you got some of it backwards. Low honor Arthur helping John is basically seeking redemption, redeeming himself from what he's done. Arthur wouldn't seek forgiveness as already established by the Downes family missions. High honor going back isn't revenge because Arthur himself says revenge is a fool's game.

Yeah I think Arthur put the last of his energy all into the last 10-20 minutes he was alive. Like a huge adrenaline rush since he knew he was nearly dead.
In clemens point, dutch said to me and i quote: "Some day you're going to turn on me arthur, that's just the type of man you are" I was neutral honor when he said it and it gave me chills the way he said it.
But he didn’t turn on him, and i think your talking about horseshoe overlook when arthur says “your gonna betray me sometime in the future you’re the type “
@christinesey3902 nah, micah was jelaous of Arthur, "you're not better than me arthur" He literally says that he was waiting to kill Arthur in this particularly ending, it doesn't make sense that he doesn't kill Arthur.
i agree the sound does make it very badass anyway, micah doenst kill arthur in high honour because he probably thought arthur had this “holier than thou” mentality (obviously he didn’t.) this is why he says “you’re not better than me morgan” in low honour go for money. when arthur goes for money, it makes him think “this dick really acts like he’s better, then does something like this!” he kills him. but otherwise he’s just forgotten about
Benjamin Davis cried after filming this scene and it’s my head canon Dutch cried off camera as well. His family fell apart, torn to sunders my his own hand. Those who aren’t dead gave up on him and the one person to stick by him was a good for nothing rat. His brother, his son, and his lover all dead and in the ground. His plans ran to an end.
I agree. The way he walks in on Arthur and Micah killing each other is way too calm. Its like this in both endings, but I think here its better shown. He seems so emotionally conflicted at that moment and the good in him is trying to fight his inner greed, and sadly he gives in.
I feel like this ending suits Dutch's actions in the epilogue way better than the High Honor Go With John ending. That ending makes it seem like Dutch had already sided with Micah, whereas this ending makes him seem much more conflicted about it all.
a problem with the epilouge is a couple of the endings make it pretty clear dutch turns his back on micah so its weird that he turned around and joined micahs gang/ sought refuge with him
@@CadillacKid My guess is that he heard the same whispers as Sadie and found Micah shortly before John came there. He was there to kill Micah but couldn't do it before Micah's gang was gone.
Small cool detail: in returning for the money, you fight Micah surrounded by fire, wich gives a red atmosphere, as red for low honor. In going with John, you fight Micah under the moonlight, which gives a blue atmosphere, as resembling high honor
Helping John ending is so much more well written the whole cmon Arthur push! I’ve pushed all I can :( you’re my brother! Literal tears there, John here is just like alright see ya lol but I do like scarring Micah kinda weird this is the only ending where you see some consequences in the epilogue for his eye
He says see ya pretty much because he thinks that Arthur is still gonna meet up with them at copperhead landing with the money. You don’t know when it’s the last time you’ll ever see someone. In the help John ending Arthur basically tells John he’s making a last stand and that’s why that goodbye was more emotional because they both knew they’d never see each other again
100% Man first play through I did high honor and helped John. I just finished my second last night And went back for the money high honor. This ending was just so badass along with the music that I think both are just fantastic no matter the choice. Each ending suits Arthur’s character And seeing Arthur help everyone he could but leave a path of destruction on his final day was just amazing.
I prefer this ending honestly, after having enough of Dutch and Micah's bullshit Arthur finally confront them with anger.. Plus giving Micah something to remember Arthur each time he sees his own face is worth it
I truly believe that in the low honor ending, if Arthur goes for the money, he does it for himself. The high honor version though, he does it for John and his family.
Exactly. Except I still think low honor Arthur would go back to John and split the money with him. High honor Arthur would just give John and his family the whole 40k and live the rest of his short life being a wanderer. Low honor Arthur would use his cut of the money to go west to a sanitarium like he said to Rains Fall and try to delay the inevitable
I think this is the worst ending tbh it feels so awkward compared to going with John, that feels way more natural. This ending is better with Low Honor.
The impact of John and Arthurs last talk is way better,John doesn't need help...but be needs his brother And also Dutch stepping on Arthurs hand,great moment
I just noticed something about this ending. If you go back for the money with high honor, you’ll be able to slash Micah’s with your knife leaving him with a permanent scar, but go back with low honor then you’ll be insulted more as how you’re much slower and weaker.
During my playthrough, I took path of high honor and in the end when you have to choose between money and saving John, thoughts rushed in my head. - But John, YOU need that money, not me. We have to take them, Abigail got the key. - Whatever you choose I will return to my family. - AHHHH, SCREW THIS MONEY, time to save your sorry ass.
@@MLGProMaster-tu9tz imo his redemption was putting the money aside and saving John, an act of selflessness. It fits better that he's at low honor for that so that you're not already a perfect man
@@MLGProMaster-tu9tzthe game is red dead redemption, not just redemption. They are bandits and murderers, they are only redeemed in blood and death. Canon Arthur is most likely low honor, doesn’t mean he didn’t have some redemption before his death, but like bill, Javier, Dutch, and finally John, there is no true redemption in this story other than that which is found in the embrace of death.
As much as I love the ending with Arthur on the cliff watching his final Sunrise before succumbing to his TB along with his injuries and exhaustion i enjoy this ending and find it more satisfying because you get to blind Micah in one eye plus Arthur goes full on Beast mode too and went out in a Blaze of Glory
You fail for abandoning the objective. I’ve never played this ending because it just seems wrong to me, but it just really seems like the game wouldn’t let you go back on your decision. Just like how you can’t bring back the people you’ve killed during the story, you can’t go back on your own choices.
Has anyone tried to lure or throw him into the fire? 5 years playing this game and I still can't bring myself to go back for the money. Believe it or not this is the first time I've even watched it. Thank you for making the video and being part of the #RDR2 CZcams community
I got this ending last night, and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised that there was a different ending based on my high honor. It seemed appropriate
I love how, in this end, which technically is the low honor one even if in high honor arthur just kinda looks at the sunlight and dies, I also like the idea of this option showing arthur as not much better than Dutch since he goes out bitting,scratching, like an animal and being led by greed and selfishness. I really think this end is the low honor one because it's the one where arthur dies for nothing, crawling out of a cave, while in the other end arthur goes out fighting with his last sparks of flame to make sure that his brother would live giving his all for someone he trusts and loves just like in the entirety of the game and even when faced with a fist fight against a man who has the upper hand he doesn't back down because he knows why and for who he's doing this, and when all is over he gets to die the way he wanted (from that one talk with hosea and lenny).
No, you die facing east both times. Going back for the money ends with Arthur staying up at the sunrays through the tree line, implying he’s seeing the sunrise. Helping John ends with Arthur on the ground, staring at the actual sunrise over the valley, signifying a new dawn for his brother, and the beginning of a new century
Fun fact if you choose this ending with high honor. In the final mission American Venom, Micah will have a scar on his left eye where Arthur slashed him in the face.
Helping John regardless of high or low honor is the only option here. It was Arthur's goal since beginning down the righteous path to help John and Jack and Abigail escape. In the end Arthur truly won because he saved 3 lives. That my friends is true Redemption. Easily the greatest story in a video game ever told. Doesn't even feel like a video game really, it feels like real life. When a game developer can accomplish that, it is then that they have reached true greatness in my eyes. Yeah Rockstar is most well known for GTA. And GTA is a great game no doubt! But RDR 2 is just on a different level. It's the stuff that legends are made of.
Technically I’ve always thought of the return for the money ending as helping John too because splitting up to get the Pinkertons off his back makes sense to help him escape.
Something to note here is, in this ending Arthur bites Micah, which probably infected Micah with TB as well. The future of this ending would have Micah inevitably dying to TB as well.
@@trondboi2034since arthur was pretty close micah could have gotten it still, and he probably was breathing while biting so the air would have gotten in him along with the rb. A big stretch but still a possibility
Except that doesn’t happen at all 😂 The only thing different is that Micah has only one eye. Also it’s an airborne illness which means everyone in camp would’ve been exposed but I guess rockstar kind of forgot unless Arthur’s tb wasn’t contagious somehow
I prefer this ending because Arthur slashes Micah across the face blinding him in one eye. In the other ending, Arthur doesn't do that, but at least in this ending, Arthur gets a small bit of revenge by blinding Micah.
The beginning part where Arthur gives his stuff to John, that was the last mocap scene they shot for the game. It was really emotional for Rob Wiethoff (John's actor), so knowing that, it makes it even more sad😢
I made a mistake of choosing this option on my first playthrough. I knew I fucked it up when I lost honor choosing it. My logic was that what's the point of the game showing the Abigail scene giving Arthur the key? So I thought the game wanted me to remember that and return for the chest. Well, mistakes happen. Still glad I gave Micah that scar though.
I did remember the key, and I still saved John. My thought process was that I could both save John, and at least make sure that Dutch and Micah don’t get the money. Arthur was buried with that key, so they lost in a few different ways that morning
Making this choice is complex. Bc it's pointless for Arthur to go back for the money for himself aaaand it's weird for Arthur to go back for revenge when he says throughout the story that "Revenge is an idiots game". It's out of character... and yet he's already dying with nothing to lose and it's a distraction for John to get away. But then your honor goes down if if you choose this option. I always decide to stay and help John. I just played this part of the game today again. I love it!
I wouldn’t say it’s weird, but rather contradictory, which makes it all the more human to me. I prefer him helping John, but people tend to make rash decisions that don’t adhere to their morals when faced with situations like this
First time playing the game, i was full honor and knew for sure i would go for the "good" ending, but when i was faced with the choice i just could't decide. Then when the timer started running and self picking "help John" i figured why would i let Micah and Dutch escape with the money. Knowing i was gonna die anyway from tuberculosis i decided to take them with me. This ending feels so real, i'm sure in the heat of the moment Arthur would't necessarily think straight, and neither did i. Masterpiece Rockstar
Even though it's not as good as the "you're my brother" line and the whole goodbye you get when you help john get to safety it's so badass hearing Arthur say "I'll see you around John Marston" before charge head first to go stab the shit out of Micha
This is the only ending where it seems Arthur actually dies from TB, the stab wounds definitely sped things up but i think he died from his sickness after falling unconscious while he watched the sunrise
i imagine the reason for this ending is arthur not going for the money cause he already knows he’s gonna die and it would prove useless but buying john time to escape so the gang would focus only on him,I think reason why he went for the money knowing high or low arthur is cause of that but i like to see that reason

Fun fact if you choose this ending with high honor. In the final mission American Venom, Micah will have a scar on his left eye where Arthur slashed him in the face.
Yeah Ik. Almost worth it tbh
0:05 I wish that with high honor arthur said "I'll distract them and find you that money, Good bye John Marston"
played it a few times, never gone back for the money so first time of seeing this, thanks!
Honesetly wish you could dump the money in the fire.
Then John won't get 20000
@@fajnu20that's the blackwater money
I love how it’s all quiet when he says goodbye to john besides the sounds of the nature and their voices
I would have dones this if it wasnt for the "My brother" line
IDk how you could wear that outfit during this final chapter, it hurt seeing arthur so skinny
this ending seems to make more sense canonically. the epilogue even lines up better with it
Arthur :- *Donates a billion dollars*
Dutch :- We nEeD MoRe MoNeH
It’s obvious it’s not for the money and more for revenge because he calls out for their heads
Helping John regardless of high or low honor is the only option here. It was Arthur's goal since beginning down the righteous path to help John and Jack and Abigail escape. In the end Arthur truly won because he saved 3 lives. That my friends is true Redemption. Easily the greatest story in a video game ever told. Doesn't even feel like a video game really, it feels like real life. When a game developer can accomplish that, it is then that they have reached true greatness in my eyes. Yeah Rockstar is most well known for GTA. And GTA is a great game no doubt! But RDR 2 is just on a different level. It's the stuff that legends are made of.
Make your own game kid, Rockstar who is better than you decided there are more options.
Technically I’ve always thought of the return for the money ending as helping John too because splitting up to get the Pinkertons off his back makes sense to help him escape.
Man, Arthur screaming HIIIIIM is killing me!! 😢
Something to note here is, in this ending Arthur bites Micah, which probably infected Micah with TB as well. The future of this ending would have Micah inevitably dying to TB as well.
Not how TB is transferred but one can hope
That is not how it is transferred btw. It is airborne
@@trondboi2034since arthur was pretty close micah could have gotten it still, and he probably was breathing while biting so the air would have gotten in him along with the rb. A big stretch but still a possibility
@@Knockoffedd4581 he has to inhale the bacteria
Except that doesn’t happen at all 😂 The only thing different is that Micah has only one eye. Also it’s an airborne illness which means everyone in camp would’ve been exposed but I guess rockstar kind of forgot unless Arthur’s tb wasn’t contagious somehow
everytime i play this game i make the same decisions idk why but i have NEVER gone back to get the money thank you sm for posting this
I prefer this ending because Arthur slashes Micah across the face blinding him in one eye. In the other ending, Arthur doesn't do that, but at least in this ending, Arthur gets a small bit of revenge by blinding Micah.
This ending and music slaps. Severely underrated
in the end he died seeing the light of day. Not a bad way to go I say
The beginning part where Arthur gives his stuff to John, that was the last mocap scene they shot for the game. It was really emotional for Rob Wiethoff (John's actor), so knowing that, it makes it even more sad😢
The pain in Dutch’s lets me know fully that he realizes he messed up
This ending looks so odd ngl
The final song is incredible and gives me goosebumps everytime
You gotta love how Arthur is literally shredding his way through the Pinkertons.
This seems more like a parting of ways thsn anything, way he says "ill see you around, jhon marston"
In my personal opinion, the best thing you can do is to be honorable and finish the game that way. That's when Arthur's death matters.
I made a mistake of choosing this option on my first playthrough. I knew I fucked it up when I lost honor choosing it.
My logic was that what's the point of the game showing the Abigail scene giving Arthur the key? So I thought the game wanted me to remember that and return for the chest. Well, mistakes happen. Still glad I gave Micah that scar though.
I did remember the key, and I still saved John. My thought process was that I could both save John, and at least make sure that Dutch and Micah don’t get the money. Arthur was buried with that key, so they lost in a few different ways that morning
Making this choice is complex. Bc it's pointless for Arthur to go back for the money for himself aaaand it's weird for Arthur to go back for revenge when he says throughout the story that "Revenge is an idiots game". It's out of character... and yet he's already dying with nothing to lose and it's a distraction for John to get away. But then your honor goes down if if you choose this option. I always decide to stay and help John. I just played this part of the game today again. I love it!
I wouldn’t say it’s weird, but rather contradictory, which makes it all the more human to me. I prefer him helping John, but people tend to make rash decisions that don’t adhere to their morals when faced with situations like this
First time playing the game, i was full honor and knew for sure i would go for the "good" ending, but when i was faced with the choice i just could't decide. Then when the timer started running and self picking "help John" i figured why would i let Micah and Dutch escape with the money. Knowing i was gonna die anyway from tuberculosis i decided to take them with me. This ending feels so real, i'm sure in the heat of the moment Arthur would't necessarily think straight, and neither did i. Masterpiece Rockstar
Arthur took like 85 bullets when fighting those Pinkerton and was still standing up
Plot armor
He turned to scarface
That music is dope
Background sound gives next level of feeling for this game…
I love this ending the soundtrack and the acting are just something else
I was not prepared for Arthur to chomp down on Micah’s hand like that idk what to do
Greatest story mode game ever made.
The music 🔥
The song for going back for the money goes hard
Im almost there. High honor. Just busted John out of prison.
Keep going buddy, you’re almost there!
the one game- that can make any calloused man...cry
the song when he dies always gets me
Almost everyone would've chosen to go back for the money if it was instead called "Go back to kill Micah"
if i was arthur and it was actually real, i wouldve thrown the money into the fire especially since i knew i wouldnt live
to steal one of Micah's eyes we must play the low honor ending with high honor 😭
goodbye mister Morgan
Jesus that badass beat as soon as arthur walks back was perfection
Even in this ending he gets to see the sunset ❤
The low honor ending looks badass
But the high honor ending looks more like a cannon ending💀
Even though it's not as good as the "you're my brother" line and the whole goodbye you get when you help john get to safety it's so badass hearing Arthur say "I'll see you around John Marston" before charge head first to go stab the shit out of Micha
'I'LL SE YOU AROUND' he says as if he's gonna live...wow
i finished with fully honor and helping to the john ...
restin in peace arthur.. you will be missed:S
This is the only ending where it seems Arthur actually dies from TB, the stab wounds definitely sped things up but i think he died from his sickness after falling unconscious while he watched the sunrise
Rip Arthur Morgan the best character of READ DEAD REDEMPTION 2 😢
I think Arthur can go back for the money because he wants John and his family to have it.
i imagine the reason for this ending is arthur not going for the money cause he already knows he’s gonna die and it would prove useless but buying john time to escape so the gang would focus only on him,I think reason why he went for the money knowing high or low arthur is cause of that but i like to see that reason
I love Arthur morgan
I. Rise. To. The. Top.
I. Can. Not. Be. Stopped.
I stand. Unshaken. 🗣🔥🔥🔥
Take the money and throw it in the fire 🙌🏻
how do you make your deadeye do that? after level 1 deadeye mine stopped just lighting people up automaticaly that way
Had this ending the first time I played and didn't even realized he died
Me seeing dead old boy betwen arthur and john in the start:nah sry boi 🤧😕
If you take a clearly dying man to go back and get money than you’re pure greedy
Eye for an eye
