The place where Arthur gets TB in Red Dead Redemption 2 is in the mission Money Lending and Other Sins, where you collect a debt from Thomas Downes. The game tries to force you to do the mission, and locks you into the mission without the option to cancel. This is how to get the secret cancel mission option to avoid getting TB.

  • We all know there's no way to avoid Arthur from TB, but still click on these types of videos in hope
  • @mikerusty3875
    I can accept Arthur dying, I just don’t want him so weak from TB that he can’t give Micah the ass whooping that full strength Arthur can do
  • @mikey5396
    I love that little "Yep" we get from Arthur right before he leaps to his doom.
  • @realQuestion
    who knew you could avoid getting TB just by jumping off a cliff? Take that, medical science!
  • Straus sweating over a few $$$ when you're camp funds are that high 😅
  • @TheTrueDan
    Honestly, I will get all the satchels, gang cosmetic upgrades, talismans and trinkets, hunt all the available legendary animals, get the panther trail saddle, explore the world and find secret items (for example the pig face mask), do most, if not all the challenges (and will glitch it so I get the legend of the east outfit) and then I will do all the other missions until no other mission pops up except the Downes one, at that point Is where I will finally accept Arthur's fate and let him get TB.

    Poor arthur he ended up in a gang full of bums that dont do nothing but wait around for him to provide 🤣
  • @fairplayer916
    man i wish there was a legit way to not get fucking TB
  • imagine an alternative ending where you don't have to save micha and collect the debt. in the end you go to thaiti with dutch :))
  • You can unlock the ledger by going after any of the 3 white missions when you 1st talk w Strauss. I always unlock t before the Downes mission is even offered. You need it unlocked to up your camp, satchel and fast travel
  • Actually, I had the letter and did that mission before I had the Downes mission. In fact everything EXCEPT that Downes mission is done in my current playthrough. I have never had the "trap" you mention happen in any of my saves. I normally do two of the Straus missions, then the letter mission, then the last Straus mission, and then he tells me about Downes, but I already helped Mary, so...

    This was so helpful. Thank you so much. I’ve dusted off RDR for a new play through on PS5 because of your helpful videos.
  • @Raven-qi2gb
    Thanks , 3rd play through and just wanted a chapter two save with Micah in jail and Thomas downs away . I varied things by rolling block bullet to TB Downes from horseback , failed mission twice then option to cancel and enjoy staying in chapter 2.

    I've often wondered about all the people that Arthur hung out with after getting infected. He must have passed the disease on to others, especially to Mary Linton.
  • @JM-re1zn
    I'm going to explain politely to Straus that I dont want TB. He'll understand.
  • Arthur will subtely cough at the end of the house robbery mission with Javier and presumably in other side mission cutscenes, therefore breaking the immersion that he is healthy. He is scripted to die and there is no changing fate
