Hello there,

There are many boss battles available in RDR 2. Every chapter has a mission that is crucial for storyline progress or rewards well. I played RDR 2 a few times, so I am very aware of the future fights. Also, to me, a battle becomes epic if it makes you chase and try again and again.

RDR 2 is based on the world we see, finding a monster is not possible although there are references to big foot, and beast animals in the wilderness, which will amount to hunting.

But I came across a major side quest, which I missed in my previous gameplay, so this side quest was completely new to me. The sidequest was Magnifico & Medical Miracles!

You can also participate and showcase your epic boss battle scenes. Here is the link for the Contest

After completing last week's challenge, I was returning from Saint-Denis. I was heading towards my camp.

It was getting dark, so I chose to stay in Van Horn which comes in my way. I was passing through the street and I heard the voice from a nearby bar.

I entered the bar and was greeted by this lady. She was talking casually about her adventures.

While we were talking her son started attacking the bartender for an unknown reason. I was clueless.

His mother asked me to intervene else her son would beat up the bartender brutally. I intervened.

His name was Bertharm and he seemed a bit immature as compared to his age. He started fighting with me.

He punched me constantly and I had to subdue him. After taking hits I started hitting him and he finally fell.

Her mother consoled her and told me the reason why Bertharm was feeling frightened. I lost some health so I took a wine while listening to her story.

She told me that they worked in the circus and their third partner, who was a dwarf named Magnifico was hiding from them due to a misunderstanding among them.

They gave me the location of their third partner whom I had to talk to come back into the family.

I marched my horse towards the given location.

Crossed the bridge. It was a little far away from the Van Horn so it took me time to reach there.

I found Maginifico camping at the edge of the forest and I went to talk to him.

I approached him for the talk and he seemed frightened as well.

He stood and talked to me about his side of the story. I tried to convince him to get back to the family. And that's where...

He smoked a ball in the fire and it obstructed my visions for a while. After gaining control I looked for him and he bombed again!

When the smoke was clear, he was nowhere to be seen. I can listen to his voice but can't see him.

As soon as I got near to him, he bombed again and escaped out of my sight.

He crossed the river and was standing on a big boulder, and as I approached - boom!

He smoked at three spots which I had to check and this dude was too clever!

He was not in any of them and again escaped. This time I got frightened too, trying to catch him. I took out my lasso, to get him from the distance.

He escaped again! First Bertharm and now this Magnifico was surely testing my gaming patience.

I found him on the tree. That's why I was unable to see him on the ground. He was never on the ground! I approached him again.

Boom! He escaped again. I whistled my horse, and to not waste any more second I started running behind him.

He was continuously smoking and changing his place. My running stamina was depleting fast as well.

I saw the train and was assured that this he won't be able to escape from me. On one side I was standing and on the other side train was running. But he escaped again!

I ran with all my power and stamina to catch him.

I was inching closer to him as he was out of his smoke bombs. And then...

Bertharm came from my opposite side and caught him from behind. He lifted him in the air in joy.

Soon the mother arrived as well with her wagon to carry him along with themselves.

She confronted him and grabbed him by his neck in to the wagon. I liked watching him in this state. He made me run a lot in this mission.

Finally they all sat in the wagon. Ready to move to Saint-Denis. They invited me to their circus show!

I finally took a deep breath. Poor Arthur, you can see his state. Like he went through a roller-coaster ride!

I headed back to the Saint-Denis to catch their show.

Near the entry gate to Saint-Denis I was greeted by this fellow, asking for money. In return he gave me a list of names.

He told me to collect this debts. I kept the names and walked ahead for the show.

I found the building where the show was happening.

I went inside for the ticket. He told me to get inside without ticket as I was a kind of special guest. (Because I reunited the family)

I entered in the auditorium hallway and found the gate.

I sat in the front row and started cheering for the family show.

They came one by one showing their acts. It was nice, people were really cheering for them. They were popular in the city!

Mother called one participant from the audience for their act. Bertharm showed his power again!

He lifted him in the air to throw the person in the audience. The mother was trying to control Bertharm to not to throw the guest. Magnifico arrived too.

Bertharm threw the person on the floor. Magnifico showed his magic skills! People were laughing.

Finally show ended and I went to the ticket counter.

The window-person gave me a letter with $40 as rewards for helping them.

The quest ended and I headed back to the camp! This quest was tiring for me in real life as well. Poor me!
